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

017 – A Breath of Fresh Air

LUCY.

“My girlfriend,” Alpha Stone said those words as if it was the most natural thing

to say.

But it made my stomach churn and my panties drop, making me stop taking another step.

The Alpha’s behavior was confusing to me the whole morning. One moment he’s hot and then cold, and then hot again. But although he confused the hell out o. me, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Because even if he was unpredictable, I still wanted him.

“What are you still doing there?” He asked, his brows furrowing as he looked back at me. He was already a few steps

ahead on the steps that would lead us inside the building, while I remained at the foot of it.

I smiled at him and doubled my pace so I could catch up with him. “I never had a boyfriend, Alpha, so I don’t know how to be a girlfriend.”

“As long as you don’t terrorize me, we’re good.” He answered nonchalantly without looking at me.

I giggled softly, excited at the prospect of being introduced as his girlfriend. It was just a role play, but still, it made me giddy in all the right places.

We entered the main entrance of the

building, and the Alpha pointed out that

at the other end would be the main door

to enter the indoor training area.

I nodded my head as he pointed out more doors and told me things I couldn’t

comprehend at the moment.

I was still on cloud nine. It was the same

feeling I had when I was finally able to

control fire when I realized I had the

power to summon a fire that burns and a fire that protects. It was exhilarating, and

it felt like this.

But I was not even his real girlfriend. What more if this was all for real already?

Well, a she-demon can dream, so I would keep dreaming.

“Are you even listening?” His voice sounded annoyed and it snapped me out of my bubbles.

I shook my head — there was no point lying to the grumpy Alpha.

“Great. I just wasted my saliva, ” he

scoffed as we continued walking, and I knew I pissed him off again.

But instead of being worried, a smile

curled on my lips as my hand slowly reached for his, clasping them together with mine. All of a sudden, his warmth enveloped me, but I didn’t miss the way the Alpha’s body stiffened for a split second before he was able to get hold of himself.

“What are you doing?” He asked as we continued walking, but he didn’t let go of

my hand. In fact, he was holding it tightly

by now.

“Well, if we’re going to say I’m your girlfriend, then we should play the part.” I explained excitedly.

“Hmmm…”

He didn’t say anything more, so I moved my body closer to him, my other hand coiling on his forearm like a pup scared to get lost in the middle of the crowd. I think I was pushing my luck, but as long as he didn’t reprimand me yet. I would
