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

089 – Balls of Fire

ADAN STONE.

I barely slept last night, but it was way past midnight when we all went to bed. I

was sharing a room with Kingston, and we spent the whole time just talking and discussing things that he was supposed to do if I were successful in entering the demon realm.

I knew selling my soul to Lucius would be the easiest way in a big risk to take if he died but I needed more than the assurance that I would be able to come out alive. I wanted a guarantee that I could leave the realm anytime I wanted with Lucija beside me. Both of us – alive.

The best option was Hades.

With Lucija being a demon princess and me being mated to her, I had a high

chance that Hades would come if I summoned him, according to Patrea.

I didn’t know such things existed for supernatural beings, because I had no idea if we could summon Selene

whenever we wanted. But perhaps this was only possible for special werewolves or lycans. And I was not one of those.

But I would try Hades. The only problem was – I didn’t have anything to offer in exchange. But I was hoping he would listen to me.

I eventually drifted off to sleep, but it felt like just a nap because as soon as the first ray of sun hit my face, I awoke and prepared for the day. Lucius would be back any time, and I didn’t want to waste time perfecting the new skills I was given.

I didn’t know my ‘meek’ Omega was so powerful that the Alpha in me would be needing her power in times like this. But I

wasn’t complaining, nor did I feel inferior. I wanted my little demon.

Lucy could be the Goddess of all goddesses or the lowest form of being, and I would still want her. And I would still do everything to have her back beside

My eyebrows arched up as Kingston and I entered the small kitchen in this cottage. Lucius’ arm was wrapped around Patrea’s waist as they stared into each other’s eyes. If I were right, I heard

Lucius say he would not die and would make sure he would bring her back to this realm alive. He was assuring her.

But more than that, their position was weird. I didn’t know there was something between them. It only explained why the demon prince was overly protective of her.

What an odd pair. But who was I to judge?

I raised my hands in the air as their heads turned to us, and Patrea immediately

withdrew her body away from him. I flashed them a smug smirk before pulling a chair to sit at the table. “I want to say I’m sorry that I interrupted you guys, but I won’t. I’m hungry, and Patrea promised to make breakfast today, so I’m looking forward to it.”

“No harm done. I was actually here to talk with you,” Lucius replied as he sat in the chair in front of me.

“It doesn’t look like you were looking for me. Unless Patrea was also practicing illusions and pretending to be me. Either way, I don’t think you fancy holding me that way.”

Kingston snickered as he helped Patrea with putting food on the table while the witch remained quiet, but I saw her cheeks turning scarlet red. I had to

apologize later. I just wanted to tease Lucius but didn’t want to disrespect her. She just happened to be pulled along.

“Fuck off.” Lucius sneered at me.
