045 – A Shot At Life With Her
LUCY.
“Then they need to go,” he said in a cold voice as if he was just throwing toys. 1
“You can’t do that! These people are loyal to you, and you just can’t throw them away just because…”
“Watch me do it then,” he snapped back before heading for the door.
I went after him, doubling my step to
catch up with his strides. I knew his men were good people, and I would never
blame them if they thought I would be a liability and not worth having around because, let’s face it, who
conspires with demons?
I grabbed his forearm because he kept walking and soon we would reach the stairs. The last thing I
wanted was for
anyone to hear our conversation. ” Promise me you will hear them out and not throw them away! Laira
and Lena…”
“I’m sure they will do the same thing! They will fuck off and leave me if I tell them I don’t want Laira and
Lena here!” He cut me off as he stopped and combed his fingers through his hair.
“You’re unbelievable!”
“Can you fucking calm down! No one is being thrown out!” He narrowed his eyes
at me.
“Not now! But who knows what mood you’ll have later? If they disagree with
you…’

“I’m the fucking Alpha here!”
That was the third time he didn’t let me
finish my words, and it was already
pissing me off.
“I can set you on fire, Alpha!” I
emphasized the word Alpha, but instead of being annoyed with me, a smug smirk crawled across his
face.
“You surely can, little bunny!”
“I’m not kidding! I will burn you if you kick them out!” I told him in between gritting my teeth.
“And risk being found by Lucien? Nice try, love. But you can’t scare the Alpha here.” He turned my body
around so my back was facing him before his hand
landed on my ass with a hard slap, jolting my body forward. “Now go back inside the room before I set
your pussy on fire…” 1
My eyes were still wide from shock as my feet rushed forward and I ran back to our
bedroom without any more complaints.
His words rendered me speechless.
No, not the one about setting my pussy on fire, but did the Alpha just address me as love?
That was the first time, and I had no idea how to react to it. Was it just out of habit? Maybe he was used
to addressing females with that endearment. Or maybe, just maybe, the Alpha liked me a little too much
already. 1

ADAN STONE.
I shook my head as I watched the she- demon run back to our suite. Her ass was jiggling, and the view
was all mine to enjoy, but more than that, I saw how her cheeks turned scarlet red with my words.
Did she suddenly become conservative and not used to the dirty words coming
out of my mouth?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI chuckled and turned around to head downstairs the moment our suite door closed. Collin and Kingston
were already
waiting.
I doubted they would not accept Lucy, these two were loyal to the bone. They may have had
reservations, but I knew them – if I decided to go to hell, they
would accompany me, just as I would for
them.
I didn’t waste time. As soon as the office door closed, I laid out everything I knew about Lucy. It didn’t slip
my eyes how their faces paled before they were able to compose themselves.
If we were talking about a different person who turned out to be a demon, I would probably react the
same way.
But this was my Lucy – nothing she could tell me about her would scare me off. She could be the
goddess of the underworld
too, and I would still keep her.
“A demon?” Kingston said after I shut my mouth. “A fucking demon? What the fuck did you both get us
into?”
1
“What do you mean both? This is all
fucking Adan, not me!” Collin snapped at
him.
“You’re the one who dragged him to that Omega Feast!”
“Enough. Don’t tell me you both are cowering now?” My forehead creased as I shook my head.
“What if she decided to just fucking end our life? They have fucking magic.”
Kingston is still dominating the
conversation.
“She calls it power,” I told him.
“Holy fuck! This is real now!”
“Collin? What’s on your mind?” My Beta
had been quiet and the only time he spoke was when he told the Gamma this was all my fault.
“I don’t know, Alpha. From the get-go, knew she couldn’t be a simple Omega, but never in my wildest
dreams did I think she’s a demon… she’s too tame to be one.
“Demons can be deceiving, and that’s the one thing that bothers me.” Kingston
butted in.
“Don’t forget she’s half-wolf. Her foundation years are with wolves, and you can’t just disregard that.”
“I get that. But are you sure she’s not playing you? Playing us? Don’t get me wrong, I like Lucy, and Lena
likes her too. But what if this is a trap to infiltrate us?”
“What can they get from us?” I asked him
back.
“I don’t know. But we are one of the
||
strongest packs in the North.” Kingston scrubbed his palms against his face. “Are we in trouble here?”
“Not yet.
11
“What does that mean?” Collin asked.
“She ran away from the underworld, as I
mentioned earlier. And she’s sure her
father is looking for her.”
“And you’re buying that excuse?” Collin
asked.
“I trust Lucy. Do you have a problem with
her?”
“I have no problem with her, but let’s not put all our guards down. We can’t just slack off because she’s
your Omega.” 2
“I understand. That’s why I wanted to let you know. Because my judgment might
be clouded when it comes to her because…
“I cleared my throat. I was not sure if I
had it in me to admit to them that I was already falling for the she-demon in my
bed.
“Because you like her…” Collin said it for
1.
“We know it, man. We can see that. And we like her too, for you. If she was here with no hidden agenda.”
Kingston added.
I let out a deep sigh as I rested my head
back on my chair before placing my hands on my temple. I couldn’t deny that I was acting on impulse,
and they might be right.
Was Lucy here with an agenda? How certain I was that she hadn’t used a spell to get my attention,
because no one had gotten my attention like this in the 28 years of my fucking existence except her.
“So just let us be critical with her,” Collin
said, but his tone was full of respect.
“But I don’t want you to treat her as if
she’s an enemy.”
11
“Of course not, but we will keep our eyes
open.”
“Good. I just want to make that clear, and if ever she felt threatened by any of you…
“We’re going to get sacked?” Kingston
chuckled.
“No. I’ll tell her to send you to the depths.
of hell.”
“I know it’s a joke, but fuck man, it’s giving me shivers.” Collin shook his head and sighed.
I could see he was serious with what he
said, but I ignored it.”And I want her
wolf out. She thinks once her wolf is out,
her father will be unable to turn her into a
full demon.”
“Yup, we’ll work on it,” Kingston replied.
“You said, she thinks. So she’s not sure as
well.”
“Yes. She’s just assuming that,” I
answered, my lips pursing into a thin line.
“What if her father comes for her? Are we
ready for it?”
“That’s the next step I want to discuss
with you.”
I stood up from my seat and went for the liquor cabinet, taking out a bottle of rum and pouring it into
three empty glasses as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI discussed what I wanted them to do.
“Amp up the security, and I want it extended beyond our perimeters, day in
and day out. I want the censor camera
updated, and I want it to cater to Lucy’s body temperature when she’s not
wearing her necklace. That way we can
monitor people entering the border that have similar body temperatures as her.”
“Wait, do you think they will enter
through the border and not use their power or sort of that thing.”
“They can, of course, but that will be a violation of an agreement between all supernatural creatures.”
“Do you think they care? They can wipe
us all out if they want.
I grabbed the three glasses and walked to where they were, handing one to each before sipping from my
own.
“I know. That’s why I need you to dispatch a tracker to find the witch who
lives in red mountain. She’s been to the
demon world and back. If she’s still alive,
she might be able to help us. She most likely knew something about their
weaknesses. I told them as I walked back
to my chair.
“Isn’t it a myth? Someone getting in there and coming back alive?”
“Lucy did.”
“She’s a demon!”
“Half-demon!” I growled at him, and I
felt my eyes burn. Beast was surely as
pissed off as me.
Kingston was fucking right, but I didn’t like hearing him say that. I felt so
possessive of her that I wanted to be the only one calling her that, and the demon
word coming out of other people’s
mouths sounded offensive to me.
“Whoah! Half-demon then. Chill man,
I’m on your side.”
I nodded my head as I controlled my breathing. My gaze shifted between them before I spoke again. “I’m
sure you’re fully aware of how impossible it is to beat
a demon prince, so I’m giving you a chance – stay and help me protect her and the pack, or go. If you
decide to walk away, I will let you. No questions asked.”
“Do you like Lucy, Adan? Like her enough to make her your Luna?”
“Don’t lie to us. If we’re going to make the biggest decisions of our lives, we deserve honesty too.”
I nodded my head. “I do. Enough to make her mine even if I know her wolf might
not surface at all, and there is the
possibility that she won’t be able to give
me an heir.”
They remained quiet, and I was not sure if they were convinced or not. But I wasn’t lying.
“I want to make sure she gets to choose what will happen to her life, and I am hoping she will choose me
too. So I’m
taking a big step by protecting her when
I’m not even sure she will make me a
permanent fixture in her life. But I want
to take that risk for a shot at life with her.
