BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 44

044 – You Caught My Eye

ADAN STONE.

We went down the hill with Lucy on Beast and went back to the packhouse right away.

My Gamma and Beta were waiting for us at the top of the steps, but I had already informed them thatLucy was safe. But I knew I had to tell them more. If Lucy was in danger, having my trusted men knowabout it was fair play.

What could I do if I was up against a demon prince? Or worse, the whole underworld?

Lucy taught me an important lesson: never accept an invitation or volunteer to visit the underworldbecause once there, I could not leave anymore unless they allowed me to.

I was excited when I saw her in her demon form, but what she told me sent shivers down my spine.

This was real now. I was hooking up with a she-devil.

And if Lucy wanted, she could simply set me up on fire, and then I’m a goner. But she was the least ofmy worries. Her father was looking for her, and the fact that she ran away a day before the ritual thatwould turn her into a full-fledged she-demon meant that he could be out hunting for her.

Was I ready to risk all to protect her?

I stood in front of Lucy, completely naked, as I dried my hair with a towel. We just finished our bathtogether, and she was now laying on her stomach with her elbow propped up on the mattress and herchin resting on her knuckles while she looked at

She only had her lacey panties on, and her breasts were out for me to enjoy, so I just let my eyes feaston her perfect form.

I couldn’t believe the Omega I brought home wasn’t what I expected. Although I was still complicated ifI could protect her, I knew deep inside I would not be giving her up.

Beast growled in my head. He was mad, but not with me. It had been too long since the last time Beasthad aired out his agreement for my action, but he did now we’re not letting our Omega go.

“What are you thinking?” she asked, lips. curling into a pout as she tried to read my expression.

I smiled before turning around and throwing the towel on the hamper inside the bathroom. I walked tomy closet and grabbed a new pair of sweatpants before putting them on. I had things to do before thenight

“So… Will you be ignoring me the whole night? Are you regretting letting me stay?”

I chuckled as I sat on the bed with my t-shirt still in my hand. I moved closer to her and trailed my fingerbetween her shoulder blades. “I’m thinking of ways on how I can protect you.’

“As long as I don’t use fire, there’s a big chance he won’t replace me.”

“How long do you think you can hide? The world is such a small place for a royal like him. Sooner orlater, he will replace you.”

“I know. But I was hoping my wolf is out then before he replaces me. Then maybe he can’t do as hewishes, to turn me into a full- fledged demon unless he kills my wolf. Which is impossible without killingme, right?”

“I won’t allow him to kill you…” I grunted.

“He’s not going to kill me. I’m his only daughter, unless another one pops up.” She rose from the bedand sat up, crossing her legs.

My eyes darted to her bouncy tits, with her opal necklace caught in between the valley of her breasts.We just fucked in the forest and in the bathroom, and yet she was seducing me again, even if she wasunaware of it.

“Put this on.” I placed the t-shirt in my hand over her head and helped her until she had put it on. Ineeded her to cover up, or I wouldn’t be able to ask questions and get solid answers.

“I can’t concentrate if I keep seeing your breasts like that,” I told her in a calm tone while she giggledsoftly, and it just made my dick tent up in my sweatpants. But I needed to focus. “What does he plan todo with you?

She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. But my mentor, the one teaching me how to summon fire,had slipped one time and told me my father was preparing me so he could offer me as a favor to one ofthe gods of the underworld.”

She talked nonchalantly as if it were nothing, while a growl reverberated from my chest in disapprovalof what she just said.

Her head snapped in my direction as she looked at me with a surprised expression on her face. “Areyou okay?”

“No.” I stood up and went to my closet, slamming it open before grabbing a new shirt.

“Are you jealous of the gods of the underworld?” She asked in her usual teasing voice.

“Jealous? The fuck? I’m fucking furious right now. What could I do against those fucking gods? I onlyhave a fucking dick!” I answered in exasperation as I slipped on a shirt while Lucy climbed out of bed

and went to me.

Her hands rested on my chest, and my hands automatically held her waist.

“Well, you got me. I won’t let them touch I can scratch their faces with my claws. and tear them apart.”She winked at me as if her ideas were fucking awesome, but we both knew that would be child’s playversus the gods.

But I had to keep my cool and not show her how worried I was, or that I felt like a fucking ant in thepresence of elephants.

“Like the way you threatened to scratch my face ten years ago? Imagine if you did, I might be calledscarface now.”

“Still a sexy scarface. But was it really you? I named you the creepy guy.

“Really, am I that creepy?” I wiggled my brows and Lucy began to laugh heartily, throwing her headback as she did.

I couldn’t help but get mesmerized by her carefree ways, as if she was not facing a big problem.

“I was only ten. Were you crushing on me?” she asked, her eyebrow raised.

“I don’t know. But I thought you were around 14 or 15 at that time, and I was just 18, so yeah, youcaught my young eyes.”

“So instead of approaching me, you just decide to stare? Rude…”

“I would have approached if you didn’t glare at me the first time you saw me looking at you…”

“Hmmm. My fault then.” She rolled her eyes. before she hooked her arms around my neck. “So whichone is prettier, the old me or now?”

“Goddess, Lucy, you were only ten then, or I thought you were 15. You caught my eye then, but now…”

“Now what?”

I swallowed. I had no fucking idea what to tell her. I couldn’t even understand what I felt for her, but Iknew it was more than Just.

“But now, I caught your dick?” She added before giggling.

“You and your mouth. What will I do without you?”

“Nothing. Life will be boring. So keep me, Alpha. I’m worth keeping. I’ll be a good little she-demon foryou. Or a meek Omega. Whatever suits your mood for the day…”

My hand grabbed her jaw, I knew I might be holding her tightly, but I knew she could take pain betterthan any female around here. “I told you I was going to keep you. Even if that means hell will rise onearth. We’ll replace a way to survive that.”

The mischievousness in her eyes was gone in seconds as tears pooled in them. I didn’t know mywords would make her emotional, but they did.

Soon, her arms around my neck tightened as she slammed her body against mine. “Thank you, Adan! Ipromise you will never regret buying me and keeping me here.”

She didn’t have to say those words because I’d never regretted stepping onto the Omega Feast thatnight. My hand went to her ass as I lifted her off the floor, and her legs swung around and snaked onmy hips as I walked us back to the bed. “Now be a good little demon and wait for me. I will just talk tomy Beta and Gamma.”

“Can’t it wait until tomorrow?” She asked, pouting her lips as I dropped her ass on the mattress.

I shook my head. “My Beta and Gamma need to know we have a she-demon in the house.”

“No! You’re not telling them!” She hissed as she got out of bed.

“Do you trust me, Lucy?” I asked her, my eyes squinting as I waited for her reply. She nodded herhead.

“Good. Because if there are two people I would trust with my life and your life, those would be Collinand Kingston. I can’t leave ,them in the dark…”

“But…”

“This is how a pack works, Lucy. I would not be able to run this pack without them, and for ten years,they never failed me. So I want you to trust them too.”

“But what if they won’t accept me as you did?” She looked devastated.

“Then they need to go…”
