BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon
Chapter 44 – You Caught My Eye
ADAN STONE…
We went down the hill with Lucy on Beast and went back to the packhouse right away.
My Gamma and Beta were waiting for us at the top of the steps, but I had already informed them that Lucy was safe. But I knew I had to tell them more. If Lucy was in danger, having my trusted men know about it was fair play. What could I do if I was up against a demon prince? Or worse, the whole underworld?
Lucy taught me an important lesson: never accept an invitation or volunteer to visit the underworld because once there, I could not leave anymore unless they allowed me to.
I was excited when I saw her in her demon form, but what she told me sent shivers down my spine. This was real now. I was hooking up with a she-devil. And if Lucy wanted, she could simply set me up on fire, and then I’m a goner. But she was the least of my worries. Her father was looking for her, and the fact that she ran away a day before the ritual that would turn her into a full-fledged, she-demon meant that he could be out hunting for her.
Was I ready to risk all to protect her?
I stood in front of Lucy, completely n@ked, as I dried my hair with a towel. We just finished our bath together, and she was now laying on her stomach with her elbow propped up on the mattress and her chin resting on her knuckles while she looked at me.
She only had her lacey p*an*tie*s on, and her bre@sts were out for me to enjoy, so I just let my eyes feast on her perfect form.
I couldn’t believe the Omega I brought home wasn’t what I expected. Although I was still complicated if I could protect her, I knew deep inside I would not be giving her up.
Beast growled in my head. He was mad, but not with me. It had been too long since the last time Beast had aired out his agreement for my action, but he did now we’re not letting our Omega go. 1

“What are you thinking?” she asked, lips. curling into a pout as she tried to read my
expression.
I smiled before turning around and throwing the towel on the hamper inside the bathroom. I walked to my closet and grabbed a new pair of sweatpants before putting them on. I had things to do before the night
was over.
“So… Will you be ignoring me the whole night? Are you regretting letting me stay?”
I chuckled as I sat on the bed with my t-shirt still in my hand. I moved closer to her and trailed my finger between her shoulder blades. “I’m thinking of ways on how I can protect you.’
“As long as I don’t use fire, there’s a big chance he won’t find me.”
“How long do you think you can hide? The world is such a small place for a royal like him. Sooner or later, he will find you.”
“I know. But I was hoping my wolf is out then before he finds me. Then maybe he can’t do as he wishes, to turn me into a full- fledged demon unless he K*lls my wolf. Which is impossible without K*lling me, right?”
“I won’t allow him to K*ll you…” I grunted.
“He’s not going to K*ll me. I’m his only daughter, unless another one pops up.” She rose from the bed and sat up, crossing her legs.
My eyes darted to her bouncy t*its, with her opal necklace caught in between the valley of her bre@sts. We just f*uc*ked in the forest and in the bathroom, and yet she was seducing me again, even if she was unaware of it.
“Put this on.” I placed the t-shirt in my hand over her head and helped her until she had put it on. I needed her to cover up, or I wouldn’t be able to ask questions and get solid answers.
“I can’t concentrate if I keep seeing your bre@sts like that,” I told her in a calm tone while she giggled softly, and it just made my d*ic*k tent up in my sweatpants. But I needed to focus. “What does he plan to do with you?
She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. But my mentor, the one teaching me how to summon fire, had slipped one time and told me my father was preparing me so he could offer me as a favor to one of the gods of the underworld.”
She talked nonchalantly as if it were nothing, while a growl reverberated from my chest in disapproval of what she just said. Her head snapped in my direction as she looked at me with a surprised expression on her face. “Are you okay?”
“No.” I stood up and went to my closet, slamming it open before grabbing a new shirt.
“Are you jealous of the gods of the underworld?” She asked in her usual teasing voice.
“Jealous? The f*uc*k? I’m f*uc*king furious right now. What could I do against those f*uc*king gods? I only have a f*uc*king d*ic*k!” I answered in exasperation as I slipped on a shirt while Lucy climbed out of bed and went to me. Her hands rested on my chest, and my hands automatically held her waist.
“Well, you got me. I won’t let them touch me. I can scratch their faces with my claws, and tear them apart.” She winked at me as if her ideas were f*uc*king awesome, but we both knew that would be child’s play versus the gods.
But I had to keep my cool and not show her how worried I was, or that I felt like a f*uc*king ant in the presence of elephants. “Like the way you threatened to scratch my face ten years ago? Imagine if you did, I might be called Scarface now.”
“Still a s*e*xy Scarface. But was it really you? I named you the creepy guy.
“Really, am I that creepy?” I wiggled my brows and Lucy began to laugh heartily, throwing her head back as she did. I couldn’t help but get mesmerized by her carefree ways, as if she was not facing a big problem.
“I was only ten. Were you crushing on me?” she asked, her eyebrow raised.
“I don’t know. But I thought you were around 14 or 15 at that time, and I was just 18, so yeah, you caught my young eyes.”
“So instead of approaching me, you just decide to stare? Rude…”
“I would have approached if you didn’t glare at me the first time you saw me looking at you…”
“Hmmm. My fault then.” She rolled her eyes. Before she hooked her arms around my neck. “So, which one is prettier, the old me or now?”
“Goddess, Lucy, you were only ten then, or I thought you were 15. You caught my eye then, but now…”
“Now what?” I swallowed. I had no f*uc*king idea what to tell her. I couldn’t even understand what I felt for her, but I knew it was more than just…
“But now, I caught your d*ic*k?” She added before giggling.
“You and your mouth. What will I do without you?”
“Nothing. Life will be boring. So, keep me, Alpha. I’m worth keeping. I’ll be a good little she-demon for you. Or a meek Omega. Whatever suits your mood for the day…”
My hand grabbed her jaw, I knew I might be holding her tightly, but I knew she could take pain better than any female around here. “I told you I was going to keep you. Even if that means hell will rise on earth. We’ll find a way to survive that.”
The mischievousness in her eyes was gone in seconds as tears pooled in them. I didn’t know my words would make her emotional, but they did.
Soon, her arms around my neck tightened as she slammed her body against mine. “Thank you, Adan! I promise you will never regret buying me and keeping me here.”
She didn’t have to say those words because I’d never regretted stepping onto the Omega Feast that night. My hand went to her @ssas I lifted her off the floor, and her legs swung around and sn@ked on my hips as I walked us back to the bed. “Now be a good little demon and wait for me. I will just talk to my Beta and Gamma.”
“Can’t it wait until tomorrow?” She asked, pouting her lips as I dropped her @sson the mattress.
I shook my head. “My Beta and Gamma need to know we have a she-demon in the house.”
“No! You’re not telling them!” She hissed as she got out of bed.
“Do you trust me, Lucy?” I asked her, my eyes squinting as I waited for her reply. She nodded her head.
“Good. Because if there are two people I would trust with my life and your life, those would be Collin and Kingston. I can’t leave them in the dark…”
“But…”
“This is how a pack works, Lucy. I would not be able to run this pack without them, and for ten years, they never failed me. So, I want you to trust them too.”
“But what if they won’t accept me as you did?” She looked devastated.
“Then they need to go…”
