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

079 – Demon’s Mark

ADAN STONE.

My mind still couldn’t wrap up everything that was presented to me during lunch. I had attempted to walk out three times during the conversation, but all the time my father and grandfather were using respect to restrain me from walking away.

I had no idea what the fuck they were playing at by telling me I’d found my mate because I couldn’t remember her at all. And the worst thing, she was a part demon.

Who the fuck on earth would believe me if I told anyone – friends or comrades – that my soon-to-be Luna is the spawn of a demon straight from the pits of hell?

The fuck? I wanted to believe my family had totally lost their minds if my Beta

and Gamma were not included in their

games. I knew Collin and Kingston’s loyalty would always be on me so I just couldn’t disregard what they were telling.

Yes, at this point I trusted my Beta and Gamma, but this was so hard to believe, and for a moment, I had to verify it was not April 1 and that anytime they would all jump out and say “Happy Fucking April Fools Day!”

And my fucking wolf, who did not hesitate to communicate with my father’s wolf to tell them ‘everything’ he knew, including how I lost my memory.

So they got first dibs on the fact that I was whipped like a pig, rather than him explaining to me what the heck that was and how the fuck I got these scars on my

heard. And just as I was about to

communicate with Beast, a knock came

on the door, and Collin stepped in. I could smell Kingston as well as their mates, but

I didn’t even look at them.

“I didn’t want any company at the moment or to hear words or anything about Lucy or my mate. So just please go. ” I said in a low voice while my elbow was prodded on my desk and my hand massaged my temples.

“I just thought you might have questions

about Lucy. Laira and Lena were with her

all the time, so if you have questions

about her, how she was, how she treats.

ask them.”

“I just fucking told you…” I didn’t finish my words and let out a big sigh, and with my eyes still closed, I asked the question that had been bothering me. “Does she

like me?”

“She does, Alpha. She likes you a lot even before you both found out you were fated mates.” It was Laira who answered.

“How about love?”
