BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 184

Chapter 032 – Althea at 19 ALTHEA.

I told Lucy I didn’t need to celebrate my nineteenth birthday.

I was used to having nothing, and with Patrea in the underworld, there was really no sense in celebrating.

But Lucy was not one to be swayed.

So here I was, surrounded by people I met at the university, in a big private hall within the campus grounds where Lucy held the surprise party for me.

Lucy and Adan were here.

And so was little Aiden, with Lucy’s opal ring hanging around his neck.

Patrea and I had fixed her ring a few weeks back so that anyone wearing it would be able to suppress his or her demon fire.

This was the only way they could take little Aiden out in public, as he loved playing with fire when something fascinated him.

Patrea also made it tonight.

She was here with Lucius.

If I assumed before that the demon king was interested in her, I could guarantee now that he was totally smitten with her, as every time I looked at Lucius, his eyes were always on my grandmother, even though he was having a conversation with Alpha Adan.

As for my grandmother, well, if I was expecting asad and stressed Patrea, I would be disappointed because she looked like she was the happiest she’d ever been.

I asked her how it was in the underworld, and I waited for her to say how she felt uncomfortable there and tell me about Nyneve, but the only thing that came out of her lips was everything about Lucius and how he had shown her Kalmerus from a different perspective.

I could sense she was thriving there.

I was happy for her, but in secret, my heart was clenching in pain.

Was this a sign that I could possibly lose her to the demon king for good? Of course, if that would make her happy, then I had nothing against it.

It’s just that I wish I could still have more time with her.

But I would never get in the way of her happiness.

If anyone deserved that after everything she went through, it was Patrea.

And it didn’t matter to me anymore if only a demon could give her that happiness, as long as he could take care of her, which looked like what Lucius had been doing.

“Happy birthday again, baby girl!”

Patrea greeted me from behind, her arms snaking around my body as she hugged me.I rested my back against her chest and clutched the arms wrapped around me, squeezing them gently.

“I’m so glad you made it here.
