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

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?

I 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.
