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

118 – Coming Home LUCY.

Although I was tired, my mind was excited.I couldn’t wait to get out of here and just live a simple life with Adan.I stayed awake waiting for him and Lucius to come back while Patrea dozed off in my bed.

She told me she hadn’t had a decent sleep in days just thinking about the things that could go wrong, and now that it was over, she just wanted to sleep the night away.

I initially offered her her own room, but she refused.

She was not comfortable in the tower, and she knew she would not be able to sleep if I were not around.

But before she fell asleep, she told me about meeting Althea and how happy she was that even though Adora was gone, she left a part of her and that she was able to reconnect with a family.

She told me Althea was excited too, and they’d been planning to live together.

Patrea was really happy and was looking forward to having a normal life, despite knowing she would never grow old and that one day she would see Althea perish.

But she didn’t want to think about it at the moment since Althea was just 18 and had many years ahead of her.

Her only concern was Blade.

Blade had marked Althea because of the mess that happened during the full moon and the reason as to why he didn’t want the rejection for now.

But it seemed that Blade had no intention of claiming her granddaughter.

She then asked me what I thought of Blade, but I had nothing to say about him since I just met him on the same day Althea appeared at the Mystic Pack, but I did promise her that I would try to get information from Adan.

I was still lost in my own thoughts when a knock came on my door.

My brows hiked up, but then I remembered it must be Adan, and he could never transport inside my chambers since only Lucius and Lucien were allowed to do that.

I hurried up and opened the double doors, and I was right — standing outside was my Adan.

He had pants on now, but he was naked on his upper body, and I couldn’t help but swoon when my gaze fell on his ripped abs, which he always flexed whenever I stared at them.

I slipped out of the room and closed the door behind me so I wouldn’t wake Patrea up.

Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a big hug, even though his naked torso was covered in blood.

“Did you miss me?”

His deep baritone voice sent shivers down my spine as his hands moved inside the back of my shirt, his calloused palms brushing against my skin.

“I did!”

I replied as I pulled away from hugging him and cupped his face to give him a peck on his lips.

“How did it go? Did you…?”

“Yup.He’s dead.We ripped his heart as well as his head from his body before I burned Patrea’s house.”

Lucius answered nonchalantly and it was only then that I noticed him leaning his back on the walls beside my door.

“You what? Oh, my Goddess, how about her things?”

My eyes widened as I glared at Lucius.
