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

086-Memories

ADAN STONE.

My head throbbed as I stared at the

ceiling, and it took a moment before I

remembered where I was.

I closed my eyes and thought about Lucy, wanting to know if I could remember her from my own memories.

Tears trickled down my face as

everything came rushing in from the moment I first saw her until the moment I was whipped and she ordered Patrea to take my memory away. Those were my memories, not Beast. And I could feel every emotion she stirred in me from day one until the day I marked her.

You will never know the importance of memories until they are taken away from you. I couldn’t believe I almost lost all of

these.

‘I love you, Adan. I need you to trust me. I promise I will come back for you.’ Those were her last words before I marked her and before I lost consciousness.

She still wanted me. She just didn’t want me there. But Lucius was right — there’s no way Lucy could do this alone.

I forced my body up from the bed and slipped on my running shoes before I walked to the door. My head was still drumming like it was hollow, but I

wanted to talk with Lucius, but I found the house empty.

‘Where are you?’ I sent a mindlink to Kingston.

‘Alpha, we are outside. Just walk straight ahead, we are a hundred meters away from the house.’

I didn’t reply back and headed out of the

cottage immediately, and soon I saw a light illuminated far ahead.

“Try again…” Lucius’ voice came out low, but it was enough for my werewolf hearing to catch it.

“I have no idea how to do it without

creating sparks.” Patrea snapped at him.

“That’s why you have to keep trying.

“What’s going on?” I asked the moment their forms came into view.

Patrea was standing beside Kingston, while Lucius was fifteen feet away from them. He was standing in the center of the clearing, and it appeared as though there was something holding his body tightly – perhaps an invisible rope.

The lights surrounding Lucius disappeared, and his arms fell to his sides, free from whatever had been restraining them earlier.

“He wants me to practice tying him up discreetly, but all the spells I make

generate lights. I have yet to learn how to do spells without those sparkles and things. And he won’t even say why I need it.”

“Stop complaining. We need to do everything discreetly. If you keep generating lights for every spell, my

father will realize you have returned to the Underworld. I am sure he knew how you do your spells.”

“I understand that, but can you at least tell me what we are supposed to do?” Patrea sounded frustrated, and I would be too. We all knew Lucius wanted to help, but we couldn’t be left clueless until the last minute.
