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

LUCY.

We stayed hugging each other for a long time. My tears had calmed down and so was the pain inside my heart, but I was scared that if I moved, something would snap inside him and would make him leave again.

“Let’s go home.” His hand smoothed over my hair before he withdrew his body away from mine.

I just nodded my head, biting my bottom

I was almost near him when another

apartment door opened and revealed a young man with hazelnut brown hair

with green eyes. He flashed a smile at me before he blocked my way.

I saw the Alpha’s chest heave, and I knew I would be in trouble again.

“Hey! I think you’re the new Omega they

were talking about. My name is Henry.” He extended his hand, a goofy smile on

his face.

I waited for the Alpha to say something, but he didn’t. So I made my move. I took and shook his hand, but withdrew mine right away. “Nice to meet you, Henry. I’m

Lucy. And I have to excuse myself because the Alpha is waiting for me.”

“The Alpha?” He repeated and snapped his head around until he saw the Alpha, who was just looking at us.

“Alpha,” he acknowledged, bowing his head a little too low as his cheeks turned red. “I felt a strong aura, but I just dismissed it. My apologies, Alpha.”
