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

Chapter 103

103 – Welcome Back To The Underworld

ADAN STONE.

My throat was parched as I stood beside Lucius, about to enter the portal to the underworld. Aside from traversing a world unknown to me, I would be on my own.

Patrea had put Beast to sleep to avoid any demons, especially Lucien, from detecting or sensing my wolf once we were outside the tower. Lucy’s cleansing would be held in a cove somewhere far from their abode, which was better since Lucy would be able to let Angel surface in case she needed to. As for me, I had to rely on my own strength and on the demon power that Lucy shared with me. couldn’t be stubborn at this point. We needed to stay hidden as much as we could.

“Would you like to join me in the underworld, Patrea?” Lucius’ eyes blazed red as a devilish grin crossed his features. His hand extended, reaching out for her to take it. It took a while before Patrea gave him her hand and responded, “I do.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Lucius clasped his hand with hers as he motioned for me to hold on to his

shoulder, and the moment I did, my body was immediately sucked into limbo, and I just found us in a different place.

I wanted to cough because everything was so warm and constricting my breathing, but I tried to suppress it to avoid drawing attention to us. Lucius disappeared but reappeared in an instant and shoved something over me and Patrea.

It was the invisible cloak that Patrea owned and that Lucius took from her cottage. The same one that Lucy used when she ran away from this realm more than two years ago. The cloak would be able to hide us, including our scent and auras, as long as we remained under it. But we would not be able to use it in the middle of a crowd. We were invisible under it, but they would still be able to touch us if we bumped into them.

I held Patrea closer to my body under the cloak, hunching my back a little so we could be of the same height and our feet would not be visible. We held on to Lucius

‘ clothes, and we were immediately transported to a small cottage. I assumed this was Patrea’s home in this realm.

We needed a place where she could start her enchantments, and this was the only option in this area.

“Father has a dark witch with him, so I was assuming he would not be bothered if he sensed a witch’s aura near him, but we still need to be careful. I will be leaving you here for now since I need to speak with Lucy. After this, I will not be able to talk with her.”

Lucius’ eyes shifted to me. “If you feel one more pain, just bear with it. I can assure you she doesn’t want to do it.”

“I’m putting my whole trust in you, Lucius. But if you go back on your word, I won’t care where my soul ends up. I will be the one to end your life.”
