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

055 – Two Ceremonies

LUCY.

I walked down the stairs straight to Adan’s office. I overslept again, but I was hoping I

didn’t miss breakfast yet.

I was about to knock, but the door opened to

his office, and behind it was my handsome

Alpha, who was already smiling at me, making my panties drop and my morning brighter.

“Good morning, Alpha Stone,” I greeted him, smiling widely as I swayed my body until I got hold of myself.

“Good morning, Luna Lucy,” he greeted back, making my jaw drop open before I

tilted my head around to see if anybody was around us.

“Don’t say that, someone might hear.” I felt my cheeks burning.

He chuckled before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. “I thought you had accepted me already?”

My hand clasped over his on my cheek as I scooted my body closer to him. “I do, but

I’m not sure if your people will accept an Omega as a Luna.”

“She can be a demon too, and I will still want her as my Luna, and I’m sure my people will stand by my decision.”

I smiled at him before snaking my arms around his neck. For some reason, I always wanted to cling to him.

“And don’t forget that some of them have been calling you Luna since the moment they saw Beast protecting you. And that he was calm around you.”

“They don’t have a choice, right? If Beast

chooses me, they can’t object to him or he’ll

eat them.” I stifled a giggle as Adan’s arms

wrapped around my body.

“I’m glad you’re around. He’s been more civil with me lately.”

“He talks to you now?”

“From time to time. Usually, it’s about you…

“Beast likes me.”

“I like you more…” He sounded like a boy who lost a game.

“Are you jealous of your own wolf?”

“I am. You mentioned they can’t object to you being the Luna because Beast would lash out at them. But you never said anything about them being scared of me if they object

to my decision to have you as a Luna. I guess I’m too weak in your eyes.” His voice

sounded hurt, and I had no idea how to

answer that. He was really competing with

his wolf.

But him, weak? He must be crazy.

“Oh, Adan… You can’t be… Oh, Goddess, how would I explain this?” I was still making up words on how to make him feel better, but the crazy Alpha began laughing as he guided my body toward the corridor and we began walking toward the dining room.

“I’m not offended. I’m more than happy

that Beast likes you.”

“Oh, good. Because I like you both.”
