BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 99

099- The God of the Underworld

ADAN STONE.

After the commotion of Blade and Althea’s arrival, everyone calmed down as I and Lucius laid out the plan we had agreed upon. Everyone, including Blade, would have a role to play, and the only one that was not present was my Beta, Collin.

But he had been informed as soon as we arrived back in the territory.

Only Kingston and I went back. Patrea and Althea remained in the Silver Crest territory, and Blade was left with no choice but to meet his brother and make his presence known. Blade also brought the witches to the packhouse for added protection and gave them access to an isolated clearing so Althea could practice what she needed to do.

I, on the other hand, had to be cautious because Lucien was still checking the pack house from time to time and, according to him, was wondering when I would be returning home. So the moment I came back, I had to continue pretending I still had no memory of my mate, including in front of my parents.

Collin, Kingston, and their mates were allowed in on our secret since they would be needed to help us out.

We only had two full days left before the day of the cleansing, and I still hadn’t made my move to try to summon Hades. I was not even sure if I could make it happen, and even if he showed up, I had no guarantee he would give me what I wanted.

But I had to try.

After a day’s work and a full day of pretending that I had no idea who the fuck Lucy was, I went out for a run. I still hadn’t let Beast out. You could say I didn’t trust him up to this point, only because I knew that he was suffering and that his outlet was always his anger.

And I couldn’t risk him hurting anyone.

But I wasn’t blaming him this time. I could fully understand what my wolf was going through.

We found our mate, and I was given a chance to be with her to hold her, mate with her, and tell her I love her – but Beast was not given that privilege. He saw Angel from a distance on the night that they shifted, but he was not able to touch her, lick her, or bow down to her. He was able to communicate with her before I was brought to the underworld, but it was only for a short period of time. 1

And the happiness that he felt when we found out that Lucy would visit us as a succubus was also short-lived the moment we were informed that it was impossible for Angel to be with Lucy in that form.

So I had to run on my own, like I’d been doing for the last two years, but I knew one day, once we had our Luna back, Beast would be free again.

The first step to achieving that was to summon the god of hell.

I stopped at the farthest point of my territory. I was almost in a ravine with a deep creek below it. It was now or never.

I kneeled on the ground and raised my head to the moon. Before anything, I wanted my Goddess to bless me.
