BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon
Chapter 80 – Do You Miss Her?
ADAN STONE…
I threw another jab at the punching bag when the first memory surfaced in my head.
[Flashback.] Collin opened the arena door where the Omega Feast was being held, and my ears perked up at the sultry music playing around. I scoffed, ready to bolt out of this place when my gaze caught her eyes.
The female with long black hair wearing almost nothing but a shiny, gold-colored bikini top and thong covered with a thin. layer of cloth that served as a skirt caught my attention despite the fact the stagewas swarming with beautiful Omegas.
I knew it was just a memory, but my heart thudded loudly at the sight of her. It was as if I were seeing her for the first time, although Beast had shown me a glimpse of her today. Was this how I felt when I first saw her? She looked like an angel, and I couldn’t stop staring at her just by looking at Beast’s memories.
[Flashback.] Her rounded, watery eyes were looking at me as she kneeled in between my legs while I f*uc*ked her mouth after I bought her for a f*uc*king $ 1.5 million.
Did I lose my mind? But damn it, I would give another 1.5 to have this moment with her again.
[Flashback.] Her nose scrunched up, her hair blowing away from her face as Beast growled in front of her, while she was slumped down on the ground. And then her face warped into a mischievous grin. “Your breath stinks. Who did you eat? Alpha Ethan?”
[Flashback.] “So, what will I tell them if they ask who I am? A new Omega helper? A distant relative? Someone you save in the forest?” She asked in a low voice.
“My girlfriend,” I answered without thinking about it. Her smile was so wide that it could light up the whole building.
“What are you doing?” I asked, annoyed, as her hand slipped into mine, clasping our hands together.
“Well, if we’re going to say I’m your girlfriend, then we should play the part.” She explained excitedly. The excitement on her face just made me grin at the memory of her.
[Flashback.] “Call me Adan,” I said in a low voice while my eyes roamed around the whole area.
“But everyone calls you, Alpha Stone.”
“Only people who are close to me call me Adan.”
“Does it mean we’re close, Adan?” Her brows wiggled as she leaned closer, teasing me with her eyes.
[Flashback.] Kisses. Too many kisses. It had been a long time since I kissed. someone, and yet the way I kissed and held her told me she was someone I was so familiar with.
[Flashback.] Her hands were holding on to the gym ring above her while I f*uc*ked her non-stop.
[Flashback.] Me f*uc*king her while she was bent over and seductively M0@ning my name over and over until her body shuddered to give her her org@sm.
And then too many other places I f*uc*ked her. In my office. In the middle of the forest. In the bathroom. And everywhere in the packhouse.
[Flashback.] “Are you sure you want to stay here?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“I’m giving you the last chance. If you decide to stay with me in my suite, I will forget that you defied me and decided on your own. But if you choose to remain here, then so be it. I will just call you when I need you.”
“I’ll stay here. And I will come to you if you call for me.”
“Fine. I want you in my suite, then, at ten o’clock tonight. After that, you can return. here.” And then I left, shutting the door in her face.
So, we did argue.
[Flashback.] “Are you even a f*uc*king shifter?” In a few steps, I was in front of her, my face just inches from hers.
“I am! Can’t you smell me as a wolf?” She answered as she tried to push me away from her. “I’m a she-wolf, I’m not lying! You should be able to smell that!”
[Flashback.] “Did my Omega miss me?”
“I missed you, Alpha…”
I smiled at the memory of the meekness on her face. She could be fierce, yet, she looked too innocent if she wanted to.
[Flashback.] “Tell me, Alpha. In the six nights that you were gone, were the females you spent time with able to satisfy you as I do?” She asked while she kneeled in front of me after parting my legs.
Bold and brave.
[Flashback.] “Do you even like that female?” Pops asked in a voice void of any emotion.
“Why the f*uc*k do you think I would introduce her to you? She wanted to meet my family, and I f*uc*king gave in to make her happy, but if I knew you would step down to that level, I should have declined this dinner. We can survive without having her meet you!”
“Enough, Adan. That’s below the belt.” Dad snapped at me.
“So, the way he treated her is okay with you? Did he treat Mom like that? Because I sure as hell won’t allow him to disrespect my female! Not on my f*uc*king watch!”
[Flashback.] “I want to see your full demon form. Out your horns again!”
“If you don’t want me here anymore. I will walk away. I might be half demon, but I mean no harm.”
“No one is walking away here. My little. demon…”
Flashbacks after flashbacks. They kept coming, but one thing I kept seeing over and over again was her smile and how her eyes lit up whenever they fell on me. She liked me. Maybe a little too much. And although I couldn’t remember anything about her, I knew in my heart that I wanted her.
[Flashback.] “But I’m on your team… Team Lucy, remember?”
Team Lucy. Oh, Goddess. Please give me my memory back.
‘I’m sorry.’ Beast took back all the memories, and I just found myself sitting on the floor with my back against the cold walls, facing an empty gym. ‘I did try my best while we were in the underworld, but the enchantment of that place was too much for me. I couldn’t even get a grip on reality from time to time. But I did try, buddy. I’m sorry.’
‘Are you crying?’ I asked Beast as my own shoulders shook. He didn’t answer, but I knew he was, just as I was.
‘We like her.” I told him.
‘Yes, we do.’
‘No. I think we love her, right?’ I chuckled as I wiped off the tears that I couldn’t help from falling.
‘Yes.’
‘I can’t remember her…’ My shoulders shook again as everything sank in.
I wanted this female. I could feel it in my soul. But I didn’t even know a single thing about her except for the memories Beast was showing me.
‘I’m sorry. I am a weak wolf. You might be disappointed in me.’
‘I’m not. Do you miss her?’
‘I miss her and Angel. Every single time. I didn’t even get to lick her wolf.’
‘Angel? She has a wolf?’
‘Yes, and she’s as beautiful as Lucy.’
[Flashback.] I was in front of the men that Beast told me were her father and brother when a strong scent of wild freesia and moonflower reached my nose, and I knew right away that I had found my mate. And I knew exactly who it was.
Like a slow-motion movie, I turned around just in time to see a beautiful white wolf running at full speed in my direction. Her eyes were blazing crimson red. Angel.
Lucy and Angel were meant for us. But why we couldn’t have them?
‘What do we do now?’ I asked my wolf.
‘We need to find a way for you to remember her, but even if you don’t, I still want her back, Adan.’
‘How do we get them back?’
‘Lucius. Her brother. He was helping her.’
‘How do we reach him?’
♡♡♡
LUCY…
I snapped my eyes open and stared at the ceiling for a long time before I decided it was time to move. I’d been in this room for so many hours now that I had no idea what was happening in Kalmerus.
All I knew was that Adan was no longer here and that this place felt suffocating. But I knew I just couldn’t let my guard down. No one could save me now but myself. Adan did the best he could. It was my turn to return the favor.
‘Wait for me, mate. I will come back for you.’ I whispered in my head as I rose. from my bed, and flicked my fingers as I made my way to the bathroom.
Soon my clothes were changed into a black bodysuit with my hair tied in a high ponytail. I brushed my teeth, and when I realized my eyes were puffy, I created an illusion to make my face look perfect before heading outside of my chamber with my head held high. I had no idea where my father or brother was, but they were the least of my concerns as I made my way to Gargon’s tower. The demons I passed by greeted me and bowed their heads at me, but I didn’t acknowledge them.
Because what’s the point? I would be gone here soon, and I had no intention of making any connection with anyone.
After transporting my body and ending up outside of Gargon’s office, I pushed the heavy door open and invited myself in. I heard a hiss come out of his throat until he realized it was me that had entered. “Lady Lucija, a ple@sure to see you today. Is there anything the Master can do for you?”
Gargon was my mentor when it came to perfecting my sK*lls. He had trained every son of my father that stayed here, and right now, he was the only one who could help me.
“I want to start training my sK*lls and powers again. We can pick up where we left off.”
“We can do that. I will arrange it so we can start as soon as possible.”
“Now. We will start now.”
“But Lady Lucija, I have other tasks to do at the moment, and…”
I stepped forward, letting my tail out and extending it to reach where he was seated as I rested my palms on his messy desk.
“I said now. Or I could tell Lucien, that his daughter was not being prioritized by Gargon. Poor you… You know what happens when Lady Lucija throws a tantrum.”
My tail was knocking on the top of his head softly but continuously, and I knew it was irritating him already, but he couldn’t show it. He smiled widely at me, but I knew it was f0rced, and I didn’t give a f*uc*k. What Lucija wants Lucija gets.
“Yes, we can start now.” Only then did I remove my tail and let it retract on my back.
“Good. But before we start, I want to make one more thing clear.” He nodded his head, but it didn’t escape my eyes the way he discreetly swallowed.
“I don’t want to learn just the basics. I want advanced knowledge.”
“But I had to ask permission from King Lucien…”
“I am of age, Gargon. And look at me in the eye and tell me your answer.” I leaned forward, our eyes inches away from each other so that I could smell his stinky breath. “Who do you think will be the next ruler of Kalmerus?”
His eyes widened as I pulled away before flashing him a wicked grin.
“Yes. Your guess is as good as mine. Now get your @ssoff your seat and teach me an advanced sK*ll or two today.” I clapped my hands twice, and when he didn’t move from his seat, I flashed him another smile before flicking my fingers, and some of the documents on his table began burning.
“Or I will set this room on fire.”
I heard him curse under his breath as he put out the flame, but I kept flickering them back until I got bored.
“Put them out quickly, and I’ll see you at the ring of fire,” I told him in a bored tone before disappearing in front of him. Well, being wicked wasn’t that bad.
