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

101 – Change of Plans

NIGHT BEFORE THE CLEANSING.

ADAN STONE.

Hades’ words kept repeating in my head. I wasn’t sure if I had made the right decision. He was asking for too much, but then I knew I would give everything just to have a guarantee of a life with Lucy.

Lucius asked me what Hades’ condition was, but I refused to let him know. It was enough. that he knew I could enter and leave the demon realm any time I wanted and could take Lucy out with me. Hades also gave me two shots to revive someone, including

myself in the case of death. I was asking for three, but he said life should not be played with, so I had to be content with the two he had given me and hope it would be enough for me or Lucy.

This was getting real already. A month ago, my only concern was my fucking dick, which couldn’t seem to awaken despite females. lining up for it.

Who would have thought my life would take a fucking turn and throw me a fate that I had never even imagined possible? But I knew despite all of this, I would never regret buying Lucy at the Omega Feast, and when I told her I was on Team Lucy, I meant it. I will be on her team until the end of time.

I brushed my hands against my face as I waited for everyone else to arrive. I was already at the Silver Crest Pack in the clearing where Althea needed to do her spell to begin our journey. She would be assisted by Patrea, but she needed to keep the spell going as long as needed on her own. 1

Sheena, Collin’s younger sister, was with us, but she was unconscious in the back seat of my car. Collin slipped a sleeping potion in her drinks since we didn’t want her to know the real deal until we could resolve everything. But we needed her presence here.

“They’re here,” Colin’s words snapped me out of my thoughts. I nodded at him and stepped out of the car to meet the rest of them.

Blade, Althea, Patrea, and Lucius all came together, and we walked to the area where Althea had to perform her spells.

“Did you have her?” Althea asked as everyone came to a halt.

“Yes, she’s in the backseat of my car,” I answered.

“Where is Laira?” Her eyes were looking behind me and Collin and toward my 424 car.

“Change of plan. Did Lucius not explain to you?”

“I didn’t have time. I got delayed in the underworld. I just arrived as well.”

“What do you mean by change of plan?” Patrea asked, her brows furrowing.

“Laira and Collin will remain Laira and

Collin. We don’t want to risk Lucien discovering Collin is nowhere to be found.

He needs to see him. So instead of Collin and Laira, taking my and Sheena’s form, we think it’s best if it’s Althea and Blade pretending to be us. It will also avoid suspicions from my family if they feel a different aura from Collin. Blade still has an
