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

046 – Wolf or Not?

LUCY.

“More?” I had just finished a cup of bitter tea, and Lena gave me another one.

“Yes, and there’s another one after.” She chuckled before she sipped the tea in her

own cup.

“Oh Goddess, are you secretly trying to kill me? Can I have what you’re drinking? That one smells nice, while this one…”

“Do you want your wolf out or not?” Laira asked, her brows hiking up, but I could see she was suppressing a smile from crossing her face. 1

“Drink that one and the last one, and I’ll give you a chocolate cake. Dark chocolate that melts in your mouth… Hmmm…” Lena was teasing me, as she sucked on the small spoon she used to stir her tea,

and she was doing it as if it were something else she was sucking.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms against my chest like a spoiled kid while my lips extended into a pout. “Not fair. Three cups of tea from hell for just a slice

of cake.”

Lena was about to say something, but she was cut off by another voice.

“Is Lucy complaining?”

The females straightened up from their seats and both shook their heads.

Lena smiled at Alpha Stone before defending me. “She just finished the first one and is about to drink the second one.”

The Alpha didn’t say anything but

crossed his arms against his chest before leaning on the door frame, his eyes

fixated on mine with a stoic expression

on his face.

I glared at him, but he was not affected. Of course, he just told me he was not scared of me using my fire power against

him.

“I’m waiting.”

“Have you tasted this? How about you drink one cup and I’ll drink two without complaining?” I told him in a very bratty manner that I regretted it immediately. I forgot Laira and Lena were around, and I

didn’t want them to think I had an

attitude. Well, I do, specifically just for

the Alpha.

“Lena, give me a cup of her tea.” He said

it in a bored tone.

My eyes widened.

Wrong move, girl. This Alpha never

backed down to anything.

Lena poured tea into his cup and handed

it to him.

Adan raised his cup in the air as if saluting me before he drank it in one gulp

without taking his eyes off me. If he didn’t like how it tasted, I had no idea. His face was still wearing the same

expression as earlier.

“Your turn,” he said before giving the cup

back to Lena.

I swallowed hard. I would make him pay for this tonight.

I grabbed the cup and pinched my nose

before drinking the tea. It took a while

before I was able to finish it, but all this

time, Adan’s eyes never left mine.

“Done.” I feigned a gag as I placed the

cup back on the table before beaming at him, hoping he forgot I needed to take another cup.

“Next one.”

“Can I take it later?”

“No. Drink it and I’ll take you somewhere.

“Somewhere? Like a date?” I asked, and I could see the two females trying not to smile at my excitement.

“You can call it whatever you want. Now drink up.”

“I’ll drink it after we come back.”

“Lucy!” His voice was slightly higher.
