BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 189

Chapter 37 – What’s There To Love About Me?

LUCIUS.

“No! No! I’m sorry! Patrea! I said I’m sorry.”

I watched as black veins crawled on the skin of her neck, starting from where the bite was, and watched in terror as she choked in front of me.I didn’t know what to do.

She couldn’t breathe.

The pain in my chest was killing me, and I just wanted to succumb to it, but I couldn’t just let Patrea go.Her eyes fluttered before they shut, and the veins disappeared from her skin, and I knew I was losing her.

My hand reached for her neck as I summoned my power to remove my mark, but I couldn’t.

Marks and wounds from the underworld were permanent.

Why the fuck did I forget a demon mark was deadly? My whole body shook as the agony of my action washed over me.I was losing the only female I ever cared about, and it was entirely my fault.I leaned my head closer to her naked chest.

Her heart was still beating.I got up from the bed before I scooped up her body and transported us back to the cave where we came from.

All the while, tears were pouring from my eyes.I didn’t know I was capable of crying, but I didn’t know I was capable of loving too.

If Patrea died, I didn’t want to be here anymore.

“Lucija!”

I bellowed the moment we appeared on the cave floor, and I saw the shock that registered on Lucija and Stone’s faces the moment their eyes fell on the mark on her neck.

“Oh, Goddess! What have you done?”

Lucija screamed as she ran toward us before Nyneve’s wicked laughter filled the whole cave, and it made the anger in my body surge up.

My hand flew as I fired fireballs her way, burning her legs at the same time that Stone shot ice spikes at her, piercing her throat.She choked on her blood, but the rage and guilt in me unleashed the demon inside of me.

I transferred Patrea’s limp body onto Lucija’s arms before I raised my body in the air and flew to where Nyneve was.She screamed as fear flitted in her eyes when she saw my demon claws emerge.

In seconds, I had ripped her head apart, and it rolled off the ground before I clawed her heart out.

I would have wanted a different kind of death for her, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Her blood splattered on my face and all over my body, with her heart pulsating in my hand.

I crushed it before letting the blood and pieces of it fall to the ground, instead of eating it as I would have done on other days.

My mind was still in a daze, trying to come to terms with the fact that Patrea was dying.

I lowered my body to the ground and slowly made my way to Lucija, who was still carrying her body as tears kept streaming down her face.

She was angry.

With me.

And I couldn’t blame her.

“I killed her.” I finally said it.
