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

035 – Lucien

ADAN STONE.

“Now!” I slammed my palm on the table,

and Lucy’s body jolted at the impact

created. Her eyes widened as she stared at

me with shock, but I could see defiance in

her eyes.

I was expecting her to lash out at me, but

instead, she stood up and excused herself from the table before walking away.

The age and the color of her hair – I could let it go. She might have thought it was unnecessary, but hiding everything about knowing her father was the one

that set me off.

I asked her about it not just once but all the time, and she would deny it. What the fuck was so hard about telling me who her father was? Did she commit a crime against him?

The moment she left the dining room, I threw the table napkin on the table,

pushed my chair, and stood up.

Aeon and Alexa stood up as well, and in seconds, Alexa was already in front of

me, her hand holding my chest, stopping me from following Lucy.

“Can you calm down, Adan?”

I held her wrist and gently pulled it away from my body. “This is between us. I apologize for ruining your lunch.”

I didn’t wait for her to say anything, and I just walked away, but I could hear footsteps behind me.

“Adan,” Aeon’s voice was firm. And despite the fact that I didn’t want anyone meddling with my affair, I knew better than to disrespect any of my family

members.

I turned my body around to face him,

slipping my hands inside my pockets. He stopped in front of me, his face void of

any emotion.

“I’m not sure how much you knew about Lucy, but it looked like she was hiding many things from you.” He began.

“You noticed that too?” I scoffed

sarcastically.

“I meant well, and I’m not taking sides, but that female up there,” He pointed a

finger on the floor above the staircase. “. is an orphan. She might have a father, but I am fully aware she never liked him. She

was raised by rogue parents, and we have

no idea where she was for the last nine

years but somehow she came out alive.

Alexa had given up hope that we would

find her. So please, give her the benefit of

the doubt. At least for Alexa.”

“I’m not going to do anything to her, I just don’t like her lying.”

“Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them. At some point, we all lie to protect something. Don’t forget I pulled out a big lie to

protect your cousin, and I will do it again in a heartbeat if I need to.”

I brushed my palms over my face before.

letting out a big sigh.

“I hope it doesn’t matter to you if she’s a rogue or human, or maybe a fucking toad shifter or something,” Aeon added.

I chuckled. Toad? Nah. A bunny perhaps.

“No, it doesn’t. She could be a spider too, but I hated being lied to.”

“We all do. But let me ask you, do you like her? Or is this just because you needed her so everyone will stop asking you?”

I motioned for him to follow me and ushered him to a small receiving room

nearby. I closed the door and stood in
