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

060-To The Underworld

LUCY.

“Mate… You’re mine, Lucija Valerie Foster.” Adan’s voice sounded so hungry and sexy that my core throbbed in an instant.

Everything I felt for Adan just exploded in full magnitude the moment I finally saw him.

When Angel rounded the corner and the wind was blowing against us, an

intoxicating scent hit us, and she stumbled

forward and fell to the ground.

‘Mate!’ Angel growled, and I nodded my

head at her.

‘Do you know who it is?’ I asked as my heart thudded like it was about to explode, hoping she would say Adan’s name.

‘No. We need to find him.’

‘But Adan needs us, Angel. Can we save him first?’

‘Yes!’ Angel rose on her paws and began running again. ‘What if Adan is our mate?’

‘What if Adan is not our mate? What if we end up liking our mate? Can we hurt Adan?’ I had too many questions, and I had no idea if I wanted answers to them.

‘Focus, Lucy! Let’s save Adan first, and we’ll deal with our mate later!’ Angel snapped at

Although she was not saying it, I could

feel her emotions too. She wanted Adan and

Beast for us.

‘Oh, Goddess! The smell keeps getting

stronger. It’s either Adan, or it’s someone with him!’ I shrieked. I couldn’t help being hysterical.

Goddess, please don’t play a big joke on me that would surely crush Adan!

‘Stop, Lucy! Focus!’

And then the whole clearing came into view. My gaze went past my father and Lucius and ended up at Adan. He had his back on us, and

although I wasn’t sure if the smell was

coming from his body, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

I failed to see everyone else but him.

And like a slow-motion movie, my Alpha

turned his body around and said the word I was waiting to hear from him.

“Mate!” Adan growled, and my heart jumped out of my chest as my eyes watered with happiness.

Angel was saying words in my head, but I

failed to process them as I choked on my

sobs.

I knew we were running at top speed until it hit me that I was running on my feet as the cold winter wind blew against my bare skin. I felt a connection snap inside of me and I began hearing voices in my head.

Was this a pack link?

“Adan!” It was all I could manage as the words got stuck in my throat while I kept

running toward him.

Adan, my fated mate, was also running at full speed from the other direction, and soon he had closed the distance between us.

My eyes locked with the deep blue eyes that captivated me from the first moment I saw them, and I felt the mate bond snap into place. The world faded as our bodies collided, arms tangled with each other. My wings, with a mind of their own, erupted from my back and enveloped us in a hug, protecting us from outside forces.

My lips locked with his as my core continued

to throb. I wanted him inside me, but my

filthy thoughts were interrupted by my

father.

“Lucija!!!” Lucien bellowed, and I froze from kissing Adan as my grip on his shirt tightened.

Adan’s thumb brushed against my cheeks as he smiled warmly. “It’s okay. I’m here with you.”

I nodded my head and pecked his lips before I slowly lowered us to the ground a few meters away from my father.

I was still naked, and Adan moved his hands

to the hem of his shirt, but my father was faster. In the blink of an eye, he had placed a

leather body suit on me.
