BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon
Chapter 108 – The Cove
ADAN STONE…
He didn’t say anything more and just opened the door to where Lucien was, and the moment he did, Lucien’s aura struck me in full f0rce. I forgot how powerful his aura was until now. Lucius had a strong aura, but it was nothing compared to how strong Lucien’s aura was, and I was now contemplating if we had the capacity to beat him.
“Father, I couldn’t find Guillermo,” Lucius stated right away.
“Obviously. Or he would be here standing with me and not you.” He replied without even glancing at Lucius.
I could see Lucius trying to keep his jaw from tightening. He had told me how his father had disregarded him all the time, and I just shrugged it off, but I could see it now with my own eyes. And I didn’t know if I should feel bad for him or not at least without Lucien’s attention, he was free to do whatever he wanted.
“I know that and what if I have no intention of going through the rituals with Lucija? Do you have a backup plan?”
“What are you talking about?” Lucien hissed, spinning abruptly around to face Lucius. “Isn’t this what you want? Do not embarr@ssme in front of the royals.”
“I just want your demon word, Father, that regardless of whether Guillermo appears or not, I will still be the one to continue with the rituals.”
Lucien didn’t look happy that his son was trying to control him, but he was able to compose himself after a while. “You have my word, that you will be the one to join Lucija in the rituals today. You just have to make sure that once Lucy steps into the ritual stone, you will finish the deed.”
“Can you be clearer?”
I was glad Lucius asked because I didn’t get the last part either. Lucien’s eyes darted to the hologram in the corner that I was only noticing now. No one was around, and it was dark, but I could still see the whole place.
“Once Lucy enters the ritual stone, she will be trapped inside until she feeds the stone with her s*e*xual fluid.”
“What do you mean? Trapped?”
“Are you stupid, Lucius? I want to make sure you will inseminate Lucija with your fluids. That’s my only guarantee that even if she gets cold feet, she has no other choice but to continue with the ritual.”
“That sounds like fun,” Lucius answered.
‘Are you sure Lucien will not see beyond the illusions? There’s no f*uc*king way I will let you touch or f*uc*k Lucy!’ I snapped at Lucius in my head.
‘Relax, Father can only tell if someone is shapeshifting if they are related to him by blood. So no, he won’t.’
“The royals are coming soon. Take this.” He handed him a crystal vial with a purple liquid inside.
“What’s is that?”
“Wolfsbane potion with a drop of my blood. Drink that before you enter the cove. Once you inseminate Lucija, the wolfsbane will transfer to her and slowly K*ll off her wolf.”
I felt a rumble form in my chest, and it was taking too much of my energy to hold it, so I teleported my body back to Patrea’s cottage before I let out a loud growl that startled the witch. My body was still shaking. I already knew that he was planning to K*ll Angel, but hearing it firsthand was driving me into a rage.
“Adan! Relax… What happened?” Patrea asked.
I tried to even out my breathing and just stared at her. Once my emotions were in check, I placed the cloak over my head again and tried to teleport my body back to his chamber, but I couldn’t anymore. He surely had protection in his chamber. I should have realized that before I teleported out. But why was I able to get out?
I shoved the cloak off me before sending Lucius’ a message. ‘I snuck out. I wanted to K*ll him when he talked about K*lling Angel, and now I can’t get back in.’
‘Seriously? Fine. I’ll be there soon.’
‘Don’t keep anything from me about what he’ll tell you more about.’
‘I won’t. But you do understand you need to f*uc*k Lucija until she feeds the stone, right?’
‘How many will be watching?’
Lucius didn’t answer, but he appeared in front of me after a few minutes.
“We have four kingdoms in this realm. The Kings will be arriving, and their princes will join the orgies at the third cycle. You have to make sure no one noticed anything strange while you f*uc*ked her.”
‘Does she know she will be watched while she’s f*uc*ked?”
‘She doesn’t even know she will get to that part. I promised her she will never go through that process.
“sh*t.”
“It’s up to you now to make sure she won’t run away from you.”
“I’m not drinking that potion. It will K*ll my wolf.” I reminded him.
“You don’t need to. I will.’
“Just don’t drink it. What if it’s a hoax and that’s poison?”
“Father made me swear that I will drink this before I enter the cove.”
“f*uc*k… Patrea, will you be able to check if a potion has no poison except wolfsbane?” My gaze darted to Patrea, who was just listening to us.
“I’ll try. Do you have it with you?” Patrea asked, and Lucius handed her the crystal bottle. She immediately took it and went to the corner, where her witchy things were gathering dust.
“I’m not sure drinking that is smart. What if he tries to K*ll you?” I added.
“For what reason? Guillermo is not here.
Who will do the ritual? Him?” He chuckled until what he said hit him. “sh*t…”
“You’re not thinking he will do it himself, right?”
“I don’t want to think like that. Listen, man,
if anything happens to me,” Lucius’ eyes. turned serious as he looked at me.
“The f*uc*k! Nothing will happen to you!”
“Can you f*uc*king shut up and listen? Just in case, go with the plan. You already know where and what to do.”
“f*uc*k you!”
“We’re all f*uc*ked up, but you just can’t stop because one of us is dead.”
“Stop with your pity party, it’s just wolfsbane and Lucien’s blood.” Patrea b*tted in as she walked back to us and handed the vial to Lucius. “It enters the drinker’s body and is secreted out of any liquid off your body — saliva, pee, and…”
“Ejaculation…” I finished for her.
“Exactly.” She agreed.
“So, if I can’t ejaculate it, I can pee it out?” Lucius asked.
“Yes. It’s safe. It won’t do anything bad to you. You don’t have a wolf, and you shared Lucien’s blood. It’s not poison for you. And I’m guessing he’s doing it this way so Lucy doesn’t feel the wolfsbane when it enters her body.”
♡♡♡
LUCY…
I was fully n@ked, standing in front of the mirror. I still had no idea why I just let Lucien and Lucius push me around and do what they wanted. I should be able to stand up for myself, but I really felt lost despite the tough facade I was trying to show off.
I placed my whole faith in Lucius’ hands, but what if he was the one planning to K*ll me at the Cleansing? Without Guillermo, no one would save me or Father.
‘You have me. I will not let us d*ie.’ Angel spoke in my head.
‘You’re here.’ A smile curled on my lips as my mind connected with her.
‘Every time you let me out, you’re letting my body become acquainted with this realm. I am a part of you, so I think it’s not impossible for me to become a part of this realm too.’ Her words warmed and calmed my heart. At least I was no longer alone.
‘The ice that you let out to pin Guillermo, that power is from me, Lucy. Not on your demon side.’
‘What?”
‘We are a special kind of wolf. I didn’t know either until I tried to summon anything that could help you get away from Guillermo.’
‘And why are you telling me just now?’
‘I had to make sure. So I had to find Selene to talk to her.’
‘Oh, Goddess. Did she talk to you?’
‘She did. And she told us to be strong. We can do this, Lucy. Selene said we didn’t get this far just for us to quit.’
‘Will she help us?’ I asked, hoping for the best.
‘She said, she’d be watching us. As she had always done since you were a baby…’
My eyes watered as I clutched my hands over my chest. Despite not being able to feel her presence, I knew Selene had been watching me since the day I met her when I was eleven. A goddess like Selene never lies.
‘We can do this, Angel. We will make it out of here alive.’
‘Yes, we will, and we will see Beast and Adan again.’
This was the only spark I needed as I straightened up my body and began fixing myself. I was n@ked, but I let my red hair down and turned it into perfect, big, bouncy curls.
I saw a lady’s leather body harness on the vanity table and put it on. I looked like a s*e*x goddess. I was still nervous, but with Angel with me, and the blessing from Selene, I knew I would be able to get out of there alive.
‘Lady Lucija,’ Simon’s words rang in my head. ‘Are you ready now? I will let in two she– demons to help you. King Lucien wants to let you know the guests have arrived and the ritual will start soon.’
‘I will let you know if the she-demons can come in.’ I replied to him.
‘Yes, my Lady.’
I cut off my connection with him and opened my mind to Lucius. ‘Lucius?’
But I couldn’t reach his mind, and it was making me worry now.
‘Lady Lucija, I will let two she-demons in now. Your Father wants you in the cove now.’ Simon spoke in my head again before the doors to my bedroom opened and two she- demons came in with a sheer robe that I was supposed to wear.
I opened my arms and let them place the robe around me before they both held my arms, and in seconds our bod*ies were transported to a place that I saw on my father’s hologram.
The cove.
The ritual was about to take place here. This was it, and I would not be able to get away from it.
My eyes shifted from the big boulder in the middle to a throne standing five to six meters away from the ritual stone, and my eyes locked with the red-eyed demon standing beside my father, and he was eyeing me as if I were his prey.
Lucius. He was looking at me as if he were just seeing me for the first time, and for some unknown reason, it was making my heart thud loudly and my p*uss*y throb hard.
