BRAVING THE DARKNESS: One Night With The Demon King

BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

Chapter 56 – Moving To The South (PATREA)

After my coronation as Queen of two Underworld kingdoms, our lives returned to normal.

So far, it had been so peaceful and perfect that I felt something terrible would happen. But Lucius eased my worry by telling me that the underworld was only chaotic if the kingdoms were not on good terms. As far as he knew, everyone was minding their own business, and the regular souls would just come and plunge themselves into hell.

So, I tried not to mind it and just lived the best days of my life with him.

Today we decided to cross into the human realm and visit an old friend, or, should I say, an annoying neighbor.

I missed normality, so here we were, driving the car into the house I used to share with Althea. I would take personal items and return the key to the house owner. And after that, we would go to the library so I could file my irrevocable resignation letter.

As much as I could forget all about it, I made friends in the library, and I didn’t want them to keep thinking about what had happened to me. I needed closure with my life on earth before I moved on to my new realm.

“We are here! Back to the place where you start to fall for the demon in me.” Lucius stated, and I could see the pride in him, especially the moment he puffed his chest before tilting his head to look at me.

“Who will not fall for you? I can’t see your evil side. I see how you fit perfectly in my life and with me.”

He took my hand, clasping it with his. “You’re smitten, my queen. That’s why my evil ways turn you on.”

“I think that’s right. It’s bad, isn’t it?”

He raised our hands and pressed them against his lips, k*issing my knuckles before he spoke. “I’m doing my best to be a righteous demon, just doing what I am supposed to do and not going to the extreme, so you won’t feel guilty choosing me.”

“I love you…” I said it softly, my heart overflowing with love for this demon.

“And I love you,” he replied.

He was about to lean closer and k*iss me when someone knocked on his window. Lucius stopped midway into k*issing me before a hiss left his throat, and his eyes blazed red for a second.

I couldn’t help but giggle, especially when I saw who it was. Lucius was actually looking forward to seeing Bernard again.

Lucius composed himself and turned to face his window before rolling it down. Bernard leaned on the roof and began talking right away.

“Good to see you both.” He smiled at Lucius before his eyes darted to me. “I was worried about where you’ve been. I am contemplating reporting it to the police station.”
