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

014 – Tractor

ADAN STONE.

For the last ten minutes, I’ve been staring at the Omega sleeping comfortably,

sprawled out in my bed as if she owned it.

And the strange thing was, I was the one that placed her in there.

No female had entered my room. Not even helpers. I had a male Omega who was assigned to clean this suite and another one that attended to my clothes and personal things. I didn’t have any issues with females. I just didn’t want anyone in my space.

But Lucy. She came and just knocked off my walls, and it was not even a day yet. I was planning to place her in the suite beside mine, which was reserved for the Luna or future Luna of the pack, but for some reason, I just found myself

unlocking my own suite.

I tipped the glass of solid whisky in my mouth, gulping it all at once before

placing it back on the round table beside me for another refill. I’d stared at her for

a long time, but I still couldn’t find any answers to the things bothering my mind, and my fucking wolf was not helping at all.

Despite being allured by the Omega, Beast refused to share his mind with me. Beast

and I have been disconnected for over a

year now. The only times we would have

had our minds connected were those

times we were both fighting for control.

To say that my wolf hated me was an

understatement. I think he didn’t want

me as his human counterpart. We used to be in sync with everything until Beast got tired of my bachelor ways two years ago.

He wanted our mate. But I didn’t give a fuck about it. Instead, I paraded around different females every night, fucking

anyone I could get my hands on. And I thought I was doing okay because I was just living my life to the fullest. But even if I put our pack as my priority, it was not enough for him.

For every female I fucked, Beast grew distant, until I just woke up and realized that I couldn’t reach him. I couldn’t connect with him anymore. But seeing how he was with Lucy tonight warmed my heart. He liked her in a way that no other female in my life, family or not,

came close.

Maybe Lucy could help me patch things up with my wolf.

But aside from that, there was still one question looming at the back of my mind.

I smelled her the moment I entered the auditorium. The alluring scent of moonflower and freesia swirled around me, and for a moment I thought Beast would come out of his shell and yell ‘mate

in my head. But he didn’t.

So I couldn’t understand it. Maybe I was

just entranced by the scent, but it wasn’t

my mate’s scent. After all, I never really

knew what a mate’s scent should be. And

besides, why would I be mated to an Omega?

But it didn’t stop me from watching her dance gracefully with her eyes closed.

She was indeed a beauty, like an angel in a throng of hell.

I was ready to leave the auditorium at the exact moment she opened her eyes and locked them with mine. She stopped

dancing and got lost in the middle that it almost made me smile, only for me to

remember that she was just an Omega – not worth my time.

I turned my back to her, ready to go home and just forget about her, but for some reason, I just found my feet treading the stairs and into the VIP room. I watched
