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

013 – The Beta Couple

BETA COLLIN.

‘Alpha?‘ I reached the Alpha’s mind as

soon as we neared the border.

‘Yes?‘

‘We’re approaching the border. Can I lower the partition?‘ He didn’t reply, so I thought it was okay to do so. And so I did.

The partition between us lowered, and the Alpha was startled when it happened. His hand was tucking the stray hairs from the Omega’s face behind her ears. She was sleeping peacefully – on the Alpha’s

lap.

‘Roll it up,‘ he ordered me through mindlink, probably so as to not wake up the sleeping female in his arms. His eyes were looking at the ceiling of the car. He was refusing to meet mine.

I rolled the partition up before I let a

smile tug on my lips.

I think someone was smitten. I couldn’t

remember the last time I saw a female

seated on his lap, aside from those

females he would hang out with

whenever we hit clubs and bars. But never

in his car. In fact, in my years of service

with the Alpha, he never sat in the back

seat. He would always drive the car or sit

on the passenger’s side.

Even when we picked up females from somewhere, females he would end up playing with, but they never reached his lap inside his car the way this Omega did.

I knew something was odd with his

behavior the moment we entered the

auditorium where the bid was being held.

This afternoon, I had to force him out of the packhouse to come with me.

I literally had to beg him to just check the females out and if none of them

interested him, we would leave the feast

immediately. But the moment we stepped in, instead of going to the stairs that would lead us to the private viewing room, the Alpha walked straight to the front of the stage.

For a moment, he stayed there without

saying anything. I thought he was just

checking on the females. I would say they

had a pretty good bunch this year, but, of

course, none was as beautiful as my mate,

Laira.

So when the Alpha decided to turn

around, I thought we were heading home.

But he went to the private viewing room

and ordered drinks for us.

And the next thing I knew, he was

handing me a tablet and asking me to continue bidding, and to make sure we would win the Omega. He said the sky was the fucking limit.
