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

066 – The Next Best Thing

LUCY.

I spent a little more time with Patrea before I bade her goodbye. I wanted to check if my

father had left Kalmerus, but I couldn’t

reach Lucius’ mind. He was either having orgies or purposefully shutting down his

mind from me. And I had no one to ask.

I could approach Martin, my father’s second

-in-command, who served as his butler and

beta, but I was sure he would inform my father of my inquiries. So he was not a good option.

I just got off the shower and thought maybe I should sleep, but I wanted to see Adan, even just a glimpse of him. I was in my sheer black nightgown that hid nothing at all, and I’d been having the urge to touch myself while thinking of my mate. But a part of me was worried for him.

So I sat in the middle of my big bed and crossed my legs while I tried to focus and imagine the Koshior dungeon. If I get this right, I would be able to see what was happening there at the moment.

But I couldn’t. I still couldn’t master the

ability to see something in another area. I’d been trying for the last ten minutes, but nothing was connecting with my mind. I was already getting pissed off.

I grabbed the nearest pillow and threw it across the room at the exact moment Lucius

reached my mind.

‘Are you awake?’ he asked.

‘What do you want?’ I snapped at him before I remembered I needed something from him.

‘Whoah! What a temper! Relax! I got

something for you…’

‘What do you mean?’

‘I sent a gift as a welcome back present for

my favorite sister.’

‘What are you up to, Lucius?’

‘Nothing. I just want to make my favorite sister happy.’ He chuckled, and his

demeanor was just adding to my irritation.

‘I’m your only sister, so cut the crap with

the favorite.’

‘How about favorite sibling? Will that make the cut now? It has to be! We have hundreds

of other siblings, so being my favorite is

something! You should take pride in it.’

‘Again, Lucius, what do you want from me?’

‘You will find out in time. But for now, enjoy your gift.’ And then the connection was gone.

“Shit!” I cursed and threw another pillow. He didn’t even give me time to ask about my father.

I was about to trash my bed in annoyance when a knock came at the door, and it

infuriated me more. I didn’t want to be

disturbed. I stood up and didn’t even bother to put a robe on because I knew nudity was

common here.

I opened one of the doors harshly. I underestimated my own strength that I didn’t realize I pulled too hard, and it swung
