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

LUCY.

I was expecting the Alpha would call for my attention, but he didn’t. I walked home toward the packhouse with him trailing behind me.

The house was deserted when we came in, and I was grateful for that because I didn’t know how to face Laira and Lena. I

wanted to ask Alpha Stone where I would be staying for the night, but I didn’t want

to start any conversation with him at the

moment.

So I just walked ahead up the stairs. I saw him switch off the main lights and turn o n the dimmed lamps all over the ground floor before he followed me up the stairs.

As soon as we entered the bedroom, he

walked past me and headed for the bathroom. I heard him open the shower,

and I just slumped my body down on the single sofa. More than my body, my mind was tired from everything that happened i In the last twenty-four hours. And I was hoping to have a good night’s sleep, but it still depends on the Alpha.

After what felt like an eternity, the

bathroom door opened and Alpha Stone stepped out, fully naked, and went directly to the bed as if I didn’t exist.

I stopped my mouth from dropping and my eyes from rounding as I watched him walk like a god toward his side of the bed. Everything about him was massive. And I was too lucky to be able to set my eyes on him this way.

But he kept ignoring me. He slid into the

blanket, placing his arms beneath his head and closing his eyes.

I swallowed hard before standing up and heading for the bathroom. Fine, if he

doesn’t want to talk, then we don’t need t

o talk.

I opened the shower and washed, all the

while thinking of ways to make this night bearable. Should I go out of the room and sleep somewhere else? Or should I swallow my pride and sleep beside him?

I was already done, but I still hadn’t

made up my mind. A part of me wanted to leave him alone, but a part of me wanted t o stay. I knew I would never feel secure the whole night unless he was around me.

With my hair still slightly damp, I wrapped myself in the towel and just stared at the mirror. I didn’t even have clothes to wear and I just couldn’t get one from his closet since I had no idea how his mind was working at the moment. I let out one deep sigh before I moved and walked out of the bedroom. The Alpha was still in the same position when I left him, still with his eyes closed. 1

I stood in front of the foot of the bed.

“Alpha…” I tried to soften my voice, even if I was still slightly annoyed with him.

“Hmmm…” he answered without

opening his eyes.

“I don’t have clothes to wear.

“In my closet. Wear whatever you’re comfortable wearing while you sleep.”

“I sleep comfortably naked, Alpha,” I told him, wondering if he would react. Because the truth was, I rarely slept naked because I didn’t trust anyone in the orphanage.

“Then sleep naked.” He replied in the

same cold voice that irritated me.

I stopped in my tracks and went for the bathroom instead, hanging the towel on the rack before stepping out fully naked. The Alpha’s eyes were still closed, and I was disappointed. I wanted him to see me.
