BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon 054 - Who Will Protect You?
LUCY. "Are we still pretending, Lucy?" Adan asked in a voice void of any emotion. He was giving me the same face that drew me to him — stoic, unreadable, mysterious, and challenging. But would I take the risk and tell him everything? What if he wanted no commitment at all? My heart thudded loudly as I made up my mind. I was never a coward. "I’m not sure what you mean by pretending. The only thing I pretended to be was the meek and weak Omega you saw from time to time. Other than that, all of these are real." A smile slowly tugged on his plump lips, and I swear, if this conversation were not important, I would be kissing him already. "So you like me?" He asked, his brows hiking up. "Why do you think I’m still here? I told myself, that whatever happened after the Omega Feast, I would go. I have wings, I can just fly away. But then…" A wicked smile crawled on my lips as my finger trailed across his chest. "...you happened. And I can’t resist you." I felt something poke at my cor

LUCY. I walked down the stairs straight to Adan’s office. I overslept again, but I was hoping I didn’t miss breakfast yet. I was about to knock, but the door opened to his office, and behind it was my handsome Alpha, who was already smiling at me, making my panties drop and my morning brighter. "Good morning, Alpha Stone," I greeted him, smiling widely as I swayed my body until I got hold of myself. "Good morning, Luna Lucy," he greeted back, making my jaw drop open before I tilted my head around to see if anybody was around us. "Don’t say that, someone might hear." I felt my cheeks burning. He chuckled before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. "I thought you had accepted me already?" My hand clasped over his on my cheek as I scooted my body closer to him. "I do, but I’m not sure if your people will accept an Omega as a Luna." "She can be a demon too, and I will still want her as my Luna, and I’m sure my people will stand by my decision." I smiled at him before snaking

LUCY. Althea opened her bedroom and let me in. I placed the tray of food on the round table at the far end before I faced her. "Did you rest?" My eyes scanned her room, and her bed was cluttered with big, old-looking books. She shook her head and pointed to the books on her bed. "I want to make sure I’ll be doing the right thing." "But I thought you needed to rest." "This is rest for me - one with my books and channeling the spirits." She giggled softly while I bit my bottom lip as I nodded my head. "Are you sure about the additional request? And the Alpha still doesn’t know?" She asked. "I’m sure. And yes, he doesn’t know anything." "He might kill me." "He won’t. I will protect you from him." "Are you sure you will defy him if he asks you not to shield me?" "That won’t be the first time I will defy him. But I know you can protect yourself. But I want you to be honest with me, Althea. Am I putting you in danger with my request?" "If you had no plan to unbind yourself, the

GAMMA KINGSTON. I knew something was off when the witch raised an invisible barrier that prohibited us from entering the ruin where she was performing her rituals. And I couldn’t even mindlink my Alpha, but I tried to keep calm. Maybe I was just not familiar with witches and their spells. If my Alpha trusted her, then I should too. But the moment Alpha Stone flinched from his position and anger flashed in his eyes, I knew something went wrong. The Alpha didn’t like what was going on. I began to slam my body against the shield, and soon Blade and the other warriors with us were doing the same thing. We all looked like fucking lunatics trying to crush an invisible wall we couldn’t even see. But nothing we did could shatter it. It was too strong, and even if we all slammed our bodies on it at the same time, it didn’t break. "Put the fucking shield down!" Blade was roaring, shaking the ground as he kept pounding his fists against the barrier while his eyes were fixated on the witch, wh

LUCIEN. 'Father! I found Lucy!' Lucius’ voice dug into my head, and in seconds, I appeared in front of the fiber while still pulling up my pants and buckling them up. I was in the middle of being pleasured, but finding Lucija was more important than my libido right now. "What the fuck?" Lucius snickered beside me, but I ignored him. My eyes were fixated on the glowing sphere showing in the fiber. The north. Never in my wildest dream would I have thought she would go north. I made certain that Lucija was never taught about human geography and that no such topics were ever discussed with her. So when she left, I was sure she would go back to the same place where she grew up, and if she moved, she would just be in the surrounding cities. Now it made sense why I couldn’t find her. Her location was glowing too brightly and had been glowing for some time. She wasn’t suppressing it. She was letting her fire out. I wondered if my daughter wanted to be found. Maybe she needed to be sav
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon 059 - Angel
LUCY. Her name is Angel. The Goddess gave me an Angel to counter my demon. Even if she was not a real Angel, she was the closest I could be to heaven, and that was enough to keep my spirit high. The Goddess hadn’t forgotten about me. "What took you so long to come out?" I was not angry at her, but my voice sounded depressed. 'I am the other side of your demon power. When you suppressed it, you suppressed me. And you let it out in full force tonight, and it gave me strength to reach you.’ "I’m sorry. I didn’t know." It was the necklace all along, but what choice do I have? I didn’t want to be found. 'I’m not blaming you, what is important is that I am here now. You can’t have me without the fire, Lucy. You need to learn to embrace fire if you want to keep me." "I understand. But will you just be a part of me, or do I also have a physical wolf? Because there is someone I want you to meet." 'Beast…' She whimpered, and I giggled. 'I’m ready to come out whenever you are.' "Now?"
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon 060 - To The Underworld
LUCY. "Mate… You’re mine, Lucija Valerie Foster." Adan’s voice sounded so hungry and sexy that my core throbbed in an instant. Everything I felt for Adan just exploded in full magnitude the moment I finally saw him. When Angel rounded the corner and the wind was blowing against us, an intoxicating scent hit us, and she stumbled forward and fell to the ground. 'Mate!' Angel growled, and I nodded my head at her. 'Do you know who it is?' I asked as my heart thudded like it was about to explode, hoping she would say Adan’s name. 'No. We need to find him.' 'But Adan needs us, Angel. Can we save him first?' 'Yes!' Angel rose on her paws and began running again. 'What if Adan is our mate?' 'What if Adan is not our mate? What if we end up liking our mate? Can we hurt Adan?' I had too many questions, and I had no idea if I wanted answers to them. 'Focus, Lucy! Let’s save Adan first, and we’ll deal with our mate later!' Angel snapped at me. Although she was not saying it, I could feel h
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon 061 - Merciless and Ruthless
ADAN STONE. I knew what I was getting into when I told Lucien I would go to the underworld. It could lead to my demise, but I feared nothing except not knowing when I would see Lucy again. Lucy might have thought this was a stupid thing to do, but I wasn’t taking my chances on her, especially now that I knew she was my fated mate. Everything was starting to make sense now. Two years ago, Lucy turned eighteen, and I was assuming it was at the point when Beast began acting strange and refused any female, insisting we look for our mate. He felt her. Now that we have her, we’re not letting her out of our sight. I meant it when I told Lucy I would go to the depths of hell for her. And that is actually where I am now. In the blink of an eye, my body was sucked into limbo, and when it stopped, I was fully naked in a hot place, like a sauna. I should be able to tolerate it, but there was something on fire around me that was burning me from the inside. But I refused to let the demons aroun

3 MONTHS AFTER PART 1 Epilogue PATREA. “Don’t you fucking dare to cut my skin!” I screamed as another contraction hit my body. I could only count the number of times I swore, but today had been exceptional. I couldn’t stop myself from throwing curses and bad words at my king. I was in labor, and the baby was ready to come out. Lucius was the only one with me since demon childbirth was never a problem. Demons could even give birth on their own. Maybe we were so relaxed that we forgot that I was still part human and witch. “I have to take it out. I’ll cut and heal it back!” Lucius explained in a loud voice. “I don’t fucking like seeing you whimper like that!” “NO! No! No! I want to feel my child coming out of my pussy!” “Patrea!” He hissed, his forehead was sweaty, and I could feel the whole chamber getting too warm. “Get out!! I glared at him. But I didn’t mean it. I was just in too much pain, and his worried expression was not helping at all. “No fucking way that I will l

Five years after.LUCIUS. Patrea was sitting on the low boulder while watching Luther, and I do our training for today. Lucija and Stone would take Luther here in the underworld from time to time so we could spend time with him and let him familiarize himself with the demons.For the longest time, they were taking Luther here and would sometimes leave him with us for a few hours just because they wanted to have time alone.But I knew there was more to it than that. They wanted us to experience having a child.After five years, Patrea and I were still not given any. I was slowly coming to terms with it, but that didn’t mean I was losing hope. I never stopped wishing for a child every time I fucked my queen, but I had stopped telling her I was doing it.Patrea and I never talked about it anymore. I could still feel sadness in her from time to time, but it didn’t make me feel less loved by her, and I was returning the love she was giving me tenfold more.We would always be great kings a

PATREA. Five nights ago, I told Lucius I was ready to take our relationship to the next level. I was ready to have a baby with him. A demon pregnancy could be detected a few hours after mating. But five days later, there was still nothing. I stared blankly at the mirror inside the bathroom that Lucius had custom-made for me. I felt empty. I felt useless. I knew Guinevere wasn’t lying when she reversed the spell I did on my body, and I was sure Lucius could get any female pregnant if he didn’t stop himself from producing one. So it must be me. Maybe my actual human age has something to do with this. I was not getting older in physical form, but perhaps I was past the stage of childbearing. And it hurts. It hurt more now than it did the first time when I thought I could not give him an heir because, this time, I expected it to be possible. Lucius seemed to not mind, but he might just be good at hiding it. Because it was the same thing I was showing him, but deep inside, I was

PATREA. “Follow me.” His voice came out so deep and hoarsely that I didn’t even have second thoughts and just followed him. “Is this the right area?” He asked as he stopped in the archive section at row number 35. “Yes.” “Now, what do we need to do with all these books?” “Place them back. The books are in alphabetical order, so they should be placed in their right spot.” I was not done talking yet when seven books rose in the air and went to their exact place. My eyebrows rose as I stepped back until I was out of the aisle. I checked if anyone was nearby, but then the archive section was at the far end of the entrance, and usually, only scholars or those doing special studies go to this spot, so it was safe to say no one saw that. I walked back and stopped a few feet away from him, watching as he laid the rest of the books on the wooden stool ladder. “You need to put them back as well,” I told him. “We will put the rest aside once we’re done with the reason we came here.” H

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 abo
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon B2 055 - The Keeper
LUCIUS. “Hades…” Luther just said his first word. It was a bit gurgled, but I could fully understand it. ‘The fuck! I spent fucking days teaching him to say ‘dad,’ and I kept bribing him with sweets and fire, just for him to end up saying Hades’ name first?’ Stone cursed in my head. His jaw tightened, and I knew he was stopping himself from growling. ‘Be thankful it’s Hades. You’ll be more pissed off if his first word is Lucius.’ I chuckled. ‘Just accept that your son is more of a demon than a wolf.’ He didn’t say anything, but he knew I was telling the truth. Hades walked toward us and handed Luther to Lucija before he faced Patrea and me. “King Hades, it is an honor to have you at our banquet today,” Patrea stated as she tipped her down before looking at him again. “It would be a disappointment if I missed it. I never had a queen for my kings for many centuries now, so it is rightful that I appeared here.” He replied before he extended his hand to Patrea. “Come here, Que

LUCIUS. My eyes roamed around the vast banquet that was prepared for the formal rise of the King and Queen of Kalmerus and Athwart. I was glad that I didn’t hold a feast for me so that I was able to share this coronation with Patrea. The big hall was already filled with guests from the other two kingdoms of the Underworld: the Kings and their offspring. Some of my siblings and my own spawn had arrived. They had yet to meet Patrea. Celebrations like this were usually done in demon forms, but since Patrea was only half demon, I requested everyone to present themselves in their human form, and it seemed that no one was objecting as everyone came in presentable clothes. Also, from what I heard, even the kings were eager to see my queen, probably because the Underworld had never had a queen in a long time, even centuries before me. A smug smirk tugged on my mouth at the sight of Lucija and Stone. They took Luther with them, and even though he was just a few months old, his aura was st

PATREA. Weeks passed, and I was still reeling from the feeling of being Lucius’ queen and the queen of two kingdoms. Today is one of those days where I had to fulfill a duty for our demons. “Open your palms and let your hand feed on their souls,” Lucius instructed me as we stared at the pit of fire, where I could hear souls full of anguish and pain. I swallowed hard, but I couldn’t raise my hand. I was slowly accepting the ways of the underworld, but my heart was shattering at the cries I could hear at the moment. “In time, your heart will harden. The souls you hear are undeserving of your pity, whether they are judged or not in the realms they belong to. If their souls went straight to the pits of hell, it only means that they were meant to be here. They were irredeemable and had never regretted their actions. We do not throw away souls that were sincerely regretful of their misdeeds before they died. That’s why the veils of realms exist. In there, they were given time to redeem
