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

117 – Alexa

Author’s note: To the readers of my previous series: Just a reminder that this book (Lucy and Adan’s) happened 10 years after “Stealing The Heart of My Alpha”

BLADE.

When I agreed with this setup, all I wanted was to make sure Althea would be around me so it would be easier to look after her if ever the king of hell decided to come after her.

But I didn’t expect to be questioned by Adan’s family, and the fucking problem was that I wasn’t even allowed to say anything and had to play dumb.

Although Stone’s parents and grandparents were subtle and respected my silence, Alexa, Stone’s cousin, was another case.

I was not prepared for her.

She arrived around lunchtime with her mate, and she came to me like a hurricane, bombarding me with questions about Lucy.

And no matter how I pretended not to care at all about Lucy and her whereabouts, she was not dropping the subject.

“So that’s it? You can’t remember anything about her, and you just let it go and take another female, although everyone around here is telling you that Lucy is your fated mate? What happened to having a fated Luna you’d been hoping to have all these years?”

“Can you calm down? Sheena is just outside, and my Beta is here, which, if you have no idea, is Sheena’s brother.”

“Of course, I know her.And I’m not even shouting.”

She was hushed in her response, but of course, she had been raising her voice earlier.She then began pointing her finger at my chest, and if I had not been pretending to be Stone, I would have growled at her for touching me.

“But this is not about Sheena.I have nothing against her.This is about you! Do I have to crack eggs on your head to wake you up?”

“Eggs are a little too soft,” I grunted.

“Try some boulders, it might do the trick.”

“Aaah, you’re frustrating me! Just tell me where Lucy is! Is she still with her father? Does she want to be there?” She snapped at me.

“Oh, for Selene’s sake.I have no fucking idea!”

We were having these conversations all afternoon, and I was getting tired of it.

My eyes darted to Beta Collin and Alpha Aeon, hoping they would interfere but both seemed to ignore us and were lost in their own conversations.

“Come with me, and I will explain.” I finally gave up.I had to tell her the truth, or she would be ringing my ears for the rest of the day.

Aeon and Collin’s gazes finally shifted to me, and I nodded my head at them, signaling for them to follow us before my hand grabbed Alexa’s arm.

The next thing I knew, a loud growl ripped through the air, and my hand automatically let go of her arm as I swung my body around to face Aeon, with my hands up in the air.

His jaw tightened as he stared at me.
