BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 54

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 core as I said those words, and I knew this would lead to fucking again, so I couldn’t help but giggle.

“What are you laughing at?” His fingers tugged at my ear, but a smile was on his lips.

“You’re having a hard-on and I’m not even doing anything?”

“Don’t I always have one when you’re

around?”

I swiped my tongue on my upper lip before I

anchored my hands on his shoulders. “Do you like me, Alpha Stone? Or is this all lust?”

“I just spent a fortune to trace the witch that could help you and to amp up the security of

my territory, and I made Blade stay even if he irritated me because you requested it… So

yes, this is all lust. Just so I can have a taste of you every day and night.

”

“Such a pervert… but I will take it.”

His hands slipped inside my dress and trailed up to my waist, as he gently squeezed it while my arms snaked around his neck.

“I really like you, Adan. I don’t even know what will happen to me in the future, but I don’t want to think about it. I just want to

stay here with you.”

“Then stay…” His face turned serious, but this time he was showing a softer

expression, and it was making my heart melt. “I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to face your future alone. Be my Luna, and you will have the whole pack behind you. I can guarantee you, they will risk their lives to protect you.”

“But I don’t want any of them dying because

of me.”

“I know. But that’s what this pack is all about, we protect each other.”

“I don’t have a wolf.”

“So what? You’re not the first Luna without

a wolf.”

“You can’t mark me…”

“I can wait. We can still go with the mating, though.” He added the last part as his hands trailed down to my ass cheeks and squeezed

them, and as much as his actions made

tingles spread along my thighs to my pussy, I tried to ignore them.

“Your family, they might go against it.”

“Everyone loves Lucy. Even Pops like you, so my family is the least of our worries. The question is, will your father like me?”

“He can rot in hell.”

He laughed heartily, throwing his head

slightly back, and I couldn’t help the grin forming on my lips. I liked this side of Adan

-carefree and happy. Well, I liked all sides of him-even the frustrating ones.

“Maybe we should go visit him?” He asked after he calmed down from his laugh.

“No, that is not happening. I’m not taking you down there.”

“Why not?”

“Once you’re down there, you have no power over us anymore. They can just do what they want with you.”

“But if he takes you away from me, I’m not just going to stand here and let him do that. I will follow you to the depths of the

underworld.”

I scrambled out of his lap while shaking my head. “Now that’s a stupid thing to do. I can

take care of myself. I’m sure I will find a way

to get out of there, so promise me you’re not going to do any of that.”

“I’m not a kid, Lucy. I don’t need to promise that I will behave. So don’t push it.” He

replied, his forehead creasing, and I knew he didn’t like me telling him what to do.

“But I’m just telling you that because my father can just easily kill you there! What will I do with my life once you’re dead?” I was starting to get annoyed with his

stubbornness.

“Move on with your life…” He chuckled.

“Fuck you!” I couldn’t help screaming at him before I went to the door and opened it.

“Where are you going?”

“Don’t follow me! I’ll just go to the kitchen!”

“Lucy!”

“Ten minutes. Or I might end up snapping your neck!” I shouted back at him as I strode

toward the stairs.

“Ten minutes. If you don’t come back, I’ll

follow you down.”

“I’m not a kid! I don’t need to be told to

behave…”

“I know that! But you’re mine! If something happens to you, I will search the heavens and hells for you!” His words echoed along the corridors, and it just made my heart clench in pain.

I never doubted that he would go to the underworld to look for me, and it did scare the hell out of me. I needed to take action. He

was protecting me, but who would protect my Alpha?

Tears streamed down my face as I turned to the second floor and walked until I reached Althea’s room. In three knocks, the door opened, and Althea’s smiling face warped into concern when she realized I was crying.

“Hey, are you okay?” Her hand reached for

my arm as she pulled me into her room and closed the door behind us. “What’s wrong? Did the Alpha hurt you?”

“No, he didn’t, and he never did.”

“What happened then?”

“Can you help me?”

“Of course. I’ll try if I can.”

“Bind my life with Adan. I mean Alpha Stone. “I told her, looking straight into her eyes.

“What?” She withdrew her hand from her

arm as if it had burned her, and her brows furrowed. “Do you know what you’re asking?

“Yes.”

“You’re going against the law of nature.”

“But it’s my life I’m binding to him.”

“If he dies, you die.”

“Yes, and that’s my only guarantee that my

father won’t touch him.”

“And how about you? If he dies, let’s say of natural causes or an accident, you’ll die too!”

“I know, but what life would it be without him? Then I think I’ll be okay.”

“You love him…”

Sobs escaped my throat as my shoulders began to shake. “I don’t know. Maybe I do. I don’t know how love feels, but I don’t want a world without Adan. And if my father kills him, I swear I will burn the whole

underworld.”

“Lucy, think about it. It’s a big thing you’re asking me. If I bind you together, I would need so much energy, plus I would be going against nature, it’s like bringing the dead back to life. Binding a life to another is playing with life and death.”

“Will it harm you?”

“No. I will get tired and might pass out but I will recover in a few minutes. It won’t harm

me, but unbinding can destroy me. And

since I’m the one who did it, I’m the only

one who can unbind you.”

“I won’t ask you to unbind us.”

“What about Alpha Stone? Did he agree with

this?”

“He doesn’t know. And he doesn’t need to

know.”

“You’re playing with fire.”

“I am and I will. It’s only a matter of time before my father finds me. I don’t want

Adan to die. If my father realizes he’s

important to me, he will not hesitate to end

his life.”

“Lucy…”

“Name your price…” I said, tilting my head high. I had no idea where I would get the money, but I could find a way.

“You know I never cared about money.”

“Patrea. I will take her out alive from the

underworld in exchange for Adan’s life.”

“Lucy…”

“Even if it means embracing my demon side. I will do it, Althea. Just bind me to Adan, and I will do everything to bring your

grandmother back to you.”

“Go back to bed, we can talk tomorrow. I have to do the shield spell first to protect everyone else.”

“Will binding us require Adan’s presence?”

“Yes.”

“Then bind him to me first under the

pretense of creating a shield. And then…”

“Oh, spirits! This is messy! I can only imagine the wrath we will face from the

Alpha.”

“You have me on your side, and I’m sure Blade will protect you from him. So don’t

think about Adan.”

“We can talk again tomorrow. You might just be upset tonight, so you wanted that, but let’s revisit it all in the morning, and we

can both decide on it.”

“Okay, but no one has to know,” I added, and she nodded her head. “The last thing I want is for anybody to kill me so they can

kill Adan.”

“I’m sure you’re not easy to kill, Lucy.

Demons are immortal.”

“But there’s a sure way to kill demons.”

“There is. Patrea knows how. Mom told me

she would tell me one day, but that day

didn’t come.”

I opened my mouth to speak when loud

knocks erupted in the air.

“Shit! Do you think he heard us?” I asked in a hushed tone. We were standing just by the door, and with his Alpha ears, he might have heard us depending on how long he had

been outside.

Althea shook her head. “I put a spell around my bedroom. You can’t hear anything from the inside.”

“Thank, Goddess for witches!” I exclaimed. I

gave her a hug and thanked her before wishing her a good night. “Now let me handle this. I’m sure it’s a fuming Alpha

behind the door.”

“Yup, he’s all yours. I’m done dealing with grumpy wolves for today,” she said before pushing me to open the door, and I bet her comment had something to do with Blade, who looked grumpier than my

Alpha.

I took a deep breath and put on a poker face before opening the door, and I was right — a scowling Alpha Stone was standing behind it.

“I didn’t know the kitchen moved to the

second floor.”

“I just went to check on Althea,” I answered him as I stepped out, and Althea closed the

door after me.

“You’re not supposed to see her alone, Lucy.

“She’s not going to harm me.”

“I don’t fucking care what you think. I want you safe.”

“But what can others do around witches? She can paralyze your body and kidnap me,

so what now?” I rolled my eyes as I walked

ahead of him.

Soon, I felt my body flying as he hoisted me up and threw me on his shoulder. I stifled

the yell that I was about to let out and instead reached my hand down further and

slipped it inside the waistband of his pants

until I reached his ass and scratched it with

my nails.

“What the heck was that for?” He was

stopping himself from laughing, but I could

hear it in his voice.

“If I can just reach your dick, I’m sure it’s

the one with scratches now!” I hissed at him,

and soon a shriek flew out of my lips as he

flipped me to the other side. My face was Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

now facing the front.

“Now you have access to it… Move!” He said

this just as a palm landed on my ass as we

approached our floor.

I giggled as my hand crawled down his chest to his stomach before I pulled his shirt

higher, giving me a view of his toned

stomach. I slid one hand down inside the

waistband of his jeans and inside his boxers, aiming to grip his shaft, but the Alpha

yanked my hand away before he rushed us to

his suite.

He threw me on the bed, and I kept giggling as my body bounced on the mattress while

he stood at the foot of the bed.

“Damn, Lucy. I should still be fucking mad

at you…

“But you can’t,” I told him before getting up and crawling to the end of the bed.

He was just looking at me with his hands on his hips while shaking his head. I kneeled in

front of him while my hands unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them down, followed by his boxers. His hard cock sprang free, and I didn’t waste any more time. My fingers

coiled around his shaft as his breathing hitched and his muscles clenched. I let my

tongue twirl around his tip, licking his slit, before slowly taking his cock inside my

mouth without taking my eyes off him.

A low growl rumbled from his chest as his hand flew to my hair, gripping it tightly before he began guiding me to the pace he

wanted.

I could no longer deny what I feel for this man. And I knew I would never change my

mind – I wanted his life to be bound to

mine. Even if that meant my life would be cut short according to his lifetime.
