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

077 – Where is Lucy?

ADAN STONE.

I grunted loudly as I snapped my eyes open. Why the fuck did I forget to draw the curtains closed? The fucking sun was

disrupting my sleep!

Oh, fuck! The sun was up! I needed to get up. Sometimes I forget I am an Alpha and I have a whole pack to run. This is what happens when your day consists of the same thing over and over again, like a fucking routine, and you are just waiting for your life to end.

I had a pounding headache, but this was strange. I had drunk too much previously but never had this kind of headache, but I might have overdone it last night. But fuck this! It felt like someone slapped a massive boulder on my head.

I rolled over in bed only to realize it wasn’t my bed. This was a guest room.

Why am I here?

Shit! I probably brought home a female. I usually never bring anyone home, but if I did, we would end up in one of the guest rooms and not in my room. At least I still had some sense last night when I didn’t use my own bed. But I couldn’t remember a single thing.

I saw a folded pair of sweatpants and a t- shirt on the chair beside the bed, and I got up and walked lazily toward it. In no time, I was fully clothed. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I looked

like I hadn’t had a decent sleep in days,

but then again. I had drunk too much last

night.

My back felt a bit odd, but I was used to

the pain. My fucking wolf never helped

heal me or anything, but despite him not

helping me, I could still heal fast. I just had to bear the pain alone.

I walked out of the guest room and headed downstairs. I could hear voices. somewhere in the packhouse but I didn’t give a shit and went directly to my office. My stomach was rumbling, but for some reason, I had no appetite to eat.

“Wow!” I exclaimed once I stepped inside. the office. It was spotless and clean, which was usually the case whenever I would go on an expedition and be out for a few days. But then Laira and Lena might have been bored and cleaned up everything before they went to bed.

The Omegas would usually clean off the dust and the trash bins, but they were not allowed to touch or throw anything inside my office. Only Laira and Lena got to decide if I needed anything moved, replaced, or thrown.

I was just about to sit down on my chair

when my wolf decided he wanted to speak

with me.

‘You can’t remember anything?’

‘Wow! Is this a sign that today will be an incredible day? because the mighty beast

graced me with his presence!’ I mocked

him.

He didn’t answer, but he threw in lewd images in my head of me fucking a female with long, black hair who had a perfect round ass that I kept slapping

while I fucked her from behind.

My dick went hard in an instant.

‘Was this the female I fucked last night?’

My mouth watered as I licked my lips, my hand rubbing my chin as I let the images run through my head. ‘Why the fuck can’t I remember anything?’

The next image was of the same female, but her hair was fiery red this time. I knew it was her. I could only see her back,

but I don’t think I would be able to forget

how her body looked.

She moaned sexily, and I suddenly had

the need to jerk off, but I restrained

myself because I was fucking confused as to why I couldn’t remember last night. How could I forget if this female was this fucking amazing? I couldn’t remember her at all, but it seemed like I knew how

my dick felt inside her.

And then she slowly turned her head to look at me and gave me a seductive smile, and the whole world stopped.

“Mine!” I growled loudly as I gritted my teeth while holding my armrest tightly.

In seconds, the door flung open, my Beta and Gamma rushed forward, and Beast withdrew the images from my head,

making the rumble in my chest grow

louder.

“Fucking knock next time! I might be fucking someone in here!” I snapped at them, and I saw them exchange looks.

“Where is Lucy?” Collin asked.

“Who the fuck is Lucy?”

I swallowed as I remembered the face of

the female I was fucking in Beast’s memory. “Long black hair, dark brown eyes, porcelain skin… but she also had red hair, maybe she colored it. Is that Lucy?”

Damn it! Did I see her with black hair and

then with red hair? Did it mean I fucked

her on two occasions?
