BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M

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 that

Lucy was safe. But I knew I had to tell them more. If Lucy was in danger, having my trusted men know

about 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 underworld

because 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. 1

And if Lucy wanted, she could simply set me up on fire, and then I’m a goner. But she was the least of

my worries. Her father was looking for her, and the fact that she ran away a day before the ritual that

would 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 bath

together, and she was now laying on her stomach with her elbow

propped up on the mattress and her chin resting on her knuckles while she looked at

1.

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

on her perfect form.

I couldn’t believe the Omega I brought home

wasn’t what I expected. Although I was still complicated if I could protect her, I knew deep inside I would

not be giving her up. 1

Beast growled in my head. He was mad, but

not with me. It had been too long since the last time Beast had aired out his agreement for my action, but

he did now we’re not

letting our Omega go. 1

“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 to my

closet and grabbed a new pair of sweatpants before putting them on. I had things to do before the night

was over.

“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 finger between 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 find me.”

“How long do you think you can hide? The world is such a small place for a royal like him. Sooner or

later, he will find you.”

“I know. But I was hoping my wolf is out

then before he finds me. Then maybe he can’t do as he wishes, to turn me into a full- fledged demon

unless he kills my wolf.

Which is impossible without killing me, 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 bed and

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 was unaware

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. I

needed 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 giggled softly, and it just made my dick tent up in my sweatpants. But I needed to focus. “What

does he plan to do 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 of

the gods of the

underworld.” 1

She talked nonchalantly as if it were

nothing, while a growl reverberated from my chest in disapproval of what she just

said.

Her head snapped in my direction as she looked at me with a surprised expression on her face. “Are you

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 only

have 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

1. 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 play versus

the gods. 1

But I had to keep my cool and not show her how worried I was, or that I felt like a

fucking ant in the presence of elephants.

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

scarface 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 head back

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, you caught

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 which one 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 I knew 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 for

you. 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 better

than any female around here. “I told you I was going to keep you. Even if that means hell will rise on

earth. We’ll find a way to survive that.”

The mischievousness in her eyes was gone in seconds as tears pooled in them. I didn’t know my words

would make her emotional, but they did.

Soon, her arms around my neck tightened as she slammed her body against mine. “Thank you, Adan! I

promise 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 that night.

My hand went to her ass as I lifted her off

the floor, and her legs swung around and

snaked on my hips as I walked us back to the bed. “Now be a good little demon and wait for me. I will

just talk to my 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 her head.

“Good. Because if there are two people I

would trust with my life and your life, those

would be Collin and 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…”
