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

090 – Love Is A Myth

LUCIUS.

I got bored waiting while they were eating, so I began to taunt Adan. But I

couldn’t use fire since I wasn’t sure if

Lucien was watching his fiber, so I used other weapons instead.

Adan was surely improving, and he knew what he was doing. He was practically the exact counterpart of Lucija — he learned just as fast as her.

I needed him so he could fight off the rest of the demons while Lucija and I tackled our father. But from the way he

summoned fire as if he owned them and how strong they were, I was sure he could fight off Guillermo and maybe even Lucien.

I didn’t know he could be that strong

after such a short period. I wasn’t lying

when I said that hatred and the desire to

hurt the other party involved making a demon’s power stronger

but I wasn’t

expecting him to go all out just after a day of training him.

It took me decades to learn how to fire

multiple fireballs, but he was able to do it within 24 hours. In my defense, I was young then, and despite being a demon, I didn’t have any energy to let my anger out. I was just hoping to survive then and was going with the flow, so that might be the reason it took time for me to learn how to summon multiple fireballs.

But Stone- it’s either that he had hatred brewing inside him for so long or he hated me to a hilt and was just good at hiding it. Or he was really into Lucija, and the thought of anyone touching her made him angry and hateful.

For a moment I thought he was about to

transform into a demon by the way his

eyes blazed red and the black veins that began crawling on his skin.

Was it their mate bond that made him release that strong energy? Was that love? I’d heard of love, but I never gave a fuck about it.

Love is a myth. And people used it to get what they wanted: sex, money, family, and companionship. But in reality, it

never exists. It was just a word they used to make women give up their bodies for sex or for men to follow them around like lovesick puppies.

“Be grateful that Patrea saved you. Taunt me one more time about touching Lucy’s body, and you will not have a way out.” Adan was on my tail as I carried Patrea’s unconscious body inside the cottage.

The multiple shields she let out drained her energy. Another proof that Stone’s

fireballs were too strong.

“You know you can’t kill me with those fire. You just took me by surprise.” I told him as I continued walking.

“Yeah, tell that to Hades! Now explain about that thing you said about Lucija!” Stone was snapping at me, and if Patrea were not in my arms, I probably would have had his neck broken by now.

If he thought being an Alpha made him superior to me, he was a fucking idiot. If he were not the only reason that kept Lucija off the throne, I would never tolerate him at all, and I knew the feeling was mutual.
