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

094 – Fated Mates

ADAN STONE.

After Lucija and Lucius left, I stayed awake. Sleep never came, and as much as I wanted to just lay down on the bed and think of my next move, the room was painful to see.

Lucija was just here for a short time, but every corner of the room reminded me of her.

So I went down and stayed in the kitchen. My mind was blank. I felt more lost than ever. I just wanted her back with me at whatever cost.

I needed to summon Hades. But what was my guarantee that he would come?

I had no idea how long I had been sitting at the dining table when a sudden pain hit my chest. It was just for five to six seconds, and I disregarded it until I noticed red marks had appeared on my wrists. They looked like

ancient writings, but I knew what they

meant.

My mate was being intimate with someone.

No, Lucy would never do that. Even if she knew I couldn’t remember her, she loved me, and she would never betray me. I tried to calm myself down, but whatever thoughts I kept thinking weren’t helping.

Beast wasn’t helping as well. He was furious. My wolf was being ruled by his emotions, and they were getting into my head. The next thing I knew, I was trashing the small table and beginning to punch the wall. I needed an outlet.

“What the fuck, man?” Kingston growled as he pulled me away from the wall, but I shoved him off and continued pouncing on it. I saw Patrea come and look at me with a shocked expression, but she didn’t say anything.

I know I should stop. The pain was just for a

few seconds, but the idea of someone tasting what was mine was eating me alive.

“Enough Adan!” Kingston growled one more time before he laid a hand on my arm, but I swatted it away before my hand went to his torso and pushed him.

I was about to return to punching the walls when Lucius appeared out of thin air. Instead of hitting the walls, I launched at him and threw him a hard punch.

“Fuck you!” I growled as I hit his nose, and the fucker staggered backward.

He hissed as his eyes blazed red and his palms were raised toward me, and a massive air blast hit my chest, knocking me

backward. I groaned as my back hit the wall before I slid down to the floor, but it didn’t stop me from rising to my feet and getting ready to attack him again.

I was one hundred percent sure he was the one who kissed Lucy. Didn’t he say

something about mating with her at the cleansing?

Instead of punching him, I gathered a

massive ball of fire to throw at him, but

Patrea built a shield around me, preventing

me from shooting the fire out.

Everyone was yelling, and my mind wasn’t taking in anything. I just wanted to hurt Lucius so badly.
