BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon
Chapter 107– Missing My Mate
LUCY…
“Lucius still couldn’t find or reach Guillermo. He’ll be checking on the other kingdom, but I told him to come back. The royal guests would be arriving soon.” Father informed me.
“Royal guests? What do you mean? I thought the first step would just be us. Is the o*rg*y scheduled today as well?” I asked calmly, but I was already starting to panic. Escaping one man was easier than seven demons all wanting a taste of me.
“No. Just you and Guillermo. Or Lucius, but they will be watching.”
“What?” I gasped.
“Does it bother you orgies and s*e*x all It should not. But of course, it is a ple@sure to see royals as the center of the event.”
“Why was I not informed?”
“It’s nothing big, Lucija. You’re a demon. I’m sure you had as much fun f*uc*king as everyone else.” He stated this and turned his back on me before opening another hologram. My eyes darted to the hologram where Blade and Althea were. As much as I didn’t like seeing Adan’s body there, I knew it wasn’t him. There was something about the way he moved that didn’t fit Adan.
I diverted my eyes to the other hologram, where my father was checking. It was a dark place, like a cave, with only the burnt stone and lit candles around it providing light. It looked like a place for rituals, and if I was right, this was where the cleansing would be held because there was a big, flat boulder in the middle, where orgies usually happened.
Would it be too much if I asked for a bed? But holy crap, it shouldn’t matter. I would never mate with Lucius, even if he insisted it was part of his plan. That would be the boundary of this whole thing. I would shift into my wolf and run away from here.
“What is she doing?” My eyes fell on the female in the hologram. She was beside the big boulder, and if I were not mistaken, she looked like she was casting a spell on it.
“Nothing you need to know.”
“You have a witch…”
“They can do better magic – the specific ones I want.”
“Like what?”
“Stop inquiring. You will not get anything from me. Go to your room, and prepare yourself for Lucius.”
I rolled my eyes at him, and he returned it with a chuckle. I turned on my heel and walked toward the door, teleporting would just make me have more time with nothing to do, so I’d rather walk.
“Do you want me to send she-demons to help you prepare yourself?” I heard Father ask.
Yeah, right. I needed help to shave my p*uss*y.
“No. Just call for me when it’s time.” I answered in a bored tone as I opened the door, only to see Lucius walking in my direction. I closed the door behind me before speaking with him. “Did you find Guillermo?”
“No. Unfortunately.” I wanted to ask many things, but I knew Father could still hear us.
“Then I guess it’s you and me later,” I told him with a poker expression when I felt something brush against my arm.
I wrapped my arms around my body and began brushing the skin of my arms with my palms as if I were cold.
“Are you okay?” Lucius asked.
“Yeah, I am,” I answered loudly, but something was making my hair rise from my skin.
And then something brushed against my skin again, but despite the goosebumps, the touch was actually comforting and very familiar. And it scared me to the hilt. I swallowed hard and began walking away. “I’ll see you later. I had to prepare myself.”
‘Are you okay?’ Lucius inquired in my head.
‘I just miss Adan. Don’t double-cross me, Lucius. I’m putting my whole trust in you.’ I told him.
‘I won’t. I’ll see you at the rituals.’

ADAN STONE…
We locked the door of the room where we had Guillermo. We hoped the enchantment Patrea placed around it was enough to conceal him, and the ice I covered him with would not release him from his unconscious state.
The power coming off of me still amazes me at times. I felt like a human being who had been introduced to the world of shifters, except that in this case, I am the human and the demon world is the world of shifters.
Crazy as f*uc*k. But I would take it any time of the day if I got to be with Lucy in the end. Lucy. Seeing her today did badly for my sanity. I wanted to see her again.
“Let’s go and meet Lucien,” Lucius stated as his eyes shifted from me to Patrea. “Will you be okay here for a long the conversation.”
“I’m not sure how will take, but if it goes too long, I will send Stone back here.”
“Go and don’t mind me. I’ll be fine here. This is my home, I will feel if anyone tries to come in.”
“The problem is the demon inside your house, and we have no way to connect with each other without Stone here.”
Patrea slipped her hand inside her jeans and took something out, opening her palm in front of Lucius – a gold coin.
“Will this work here?” She asked. A smile crept into Lucius’ face as he nodded his head. “Yes. Smart to take that with you…”
“I take it everywhere, even when I bathe. You never know when you might need a demon…” Patrea was not even finished with her words when Lucius hissed as his eyes blazed red.
“Stop.” He said, his teeth gritting. I let out a snort, that he returned with a glare. Patrea mentioning ‘bathe’ might have sent images of Patrea n@ked to his head, and I was finally convinced he fancies the witch.
“We’ll go now.” He hissed, and I gave out one more chuckle before I covered myself with the cloak and stood beside him.
“I will let us land on the great hall, and we’ll walk from there to Father’s chamber. Check the whole area just in case you need to transport inside the tower.’”
“Got it.”
“And float, don’t walk or they might hear you.” He added before I felt my body being s*cked in again.
We walked in silence as soon as we entered the tower, but he was communicating with me through our minds. He told me where the halls were from the throne room to the mess hall, and the stairs and hallways leading to Lucy’s chamber and his and Guillermo’s.
The whole tower looked luxurious, but the demon power I had let me see the real thing beyond the facade. The place was just stones and boulders, like a big cave similar to the houses from the Flintstones, only bigger, creepier, and darker.
After a long while, we ended up on the floor where Lucien’s chamber was located. I was just following Lucius until we were almost at the door. It suddenly opened, and Lucy came out, and like a slow-motion movie, she looked at Lucius before closing the door behind her. Sadness was flitting in her eyes, although no emotions were showing on her face.
I wanted to hug her, but instead, I contented myself by brushing my knuckles on the exposed skin of her arm through the invisible cloak. There were no sparks, just static, but even with the absence of sparks, touching her was like a breath of fresh air something I had been missing since I entered this realm.
I knew she felt me, and I knew I wanted to do it again while letting a smile tug on my lips. Soon, Lucy, I will wrap you in my arms again.
‘Did you touch her?’ Lucius asked as he watched Lucy walk away from where we were standing.
‘I can’t help it.’ I replied.
