Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M novel Chapter 116

116 - One More Thing To Deal With ADAN STONE.

"Speaking of healing...

I have many things to ask about him being a demon, but I want to know, how in the hell did you heal Lucius?"

Lucy’s head tilted in my direction, and our gazes met.

This was it.

I had to tell her, but I was not sure if I was ready to let her know.

And just when I thought I had no way out, Lucius’ demons appeared in the cave, and all attention was now drawn to them.

‘Did I just save your ass?’ Lucius asked in my head.

So I was right — he did summon the demons to distract Lucy.

‘ Thank you"

‘Just repaying you for killing Lucien and giving me his heart.

Knowing Lucy, whatever deal you made, I was sure she would go ballistic.

Better you tell her that somewhere else or she might blow up this whole place"

Lucius added.

‘I want one more payment" I told him, ignoring everything else he said.

He was looking at the other side of the cave, but I saw him raise his eyebrows.

‘Guillermo.I want to kill him" I told him when he didn’t say anything.

A smile tugged on his mouth before he turned to look at me, drawing his hand out for a handshake.

"We need to share that one.I'd been itching to skin him alive."

I willed my body to go back to its human form before taking his hand.

"If you give me your word that I will have the first hit, then I’m willing to share."

"I can give you the last hit as well.I just need him to feel my wrath, and then he's all yours." He replied.

"Deal."

We shook hands, and for the first time since I began this journey with Lucius, all the doubt I had in me about him disappeared.

Before I was able to kill Lucien, while Patrea and Lucy were convincing him about allowing Patrea to heal him, he was sending me mindlinks to make sure Patrea would be well taken care of.

And as a final favor to him, I would invite Patrea to the underworld so he could see her while he was in his ghostly demon form.

His last wishes finally convinced me that there was light inside him and that he was falling in love with the witch.

"Are we going to watch them clean up this whole place, or can we go back to the tower? I’m exhausted, and I’m sure Patrea is as well."

Lucija asked as she walked and stopped beside me, and my hands automatically snaked around her waist, pulling her closer.

Goddess, can I just take her home now?

"Are we safe? Are you sure none of your father’s demons will come after us?" Patrea asked.

"The demons’ loyalty shifts the moment the previous ruler dies.Now, to whom it would shift depends on a variety of factors, but since I was the one who ate out his heart, my command would be superior to everyone else in Kalmerus."

"Hail the king of Kalmerus! Can Adan and I go home now?" Lucija shrieked, and the demons’ attention was drawn to us.

"Lucius and I have one more thing to handle.But we’re going home soon, Lucy. I promise." I told her as I pressed a kiss on her forehead.

She tilted her head as she positioned herself in front of me, her arms coiling around my neck as she caught my eyes.

"One more thing to handle?"

"Guillermo..." Lucius replied.

"He's still alive?" Lucy asked.

"Yes.And I’ll make him pay for touching and assaulting you in the hallway."

"You saw that?"

"Yes.I was there.It was me and Patrea that took him away from you."

Lucy slammed her body against mine as she hugged me tightly.

"I’m sorry, Adan.I didn’t want to kiss him but..."

"I know.I’m not mad at you."

My hand smoothed over her hair as I pressed my mouth into the crown of her head.

"Thank you..."

"Do you remember what I did to Cesar? It was nothing compared to what I'm going to give Guillermo this time."

I informed her as I squeezed her body tightly against mine.

The sparks had returned, dancing magnificently throughout my body, signaling that Beast had finally awakened.

"Do what you need to do.Just come back to me after.I just want to go home so we can start again."

She murmured against my naked chest.

A smile tugged on my mouth as I closed my eyes, reveling in the last sentence she uttered, but she might have taken my silence for another thing.

Her body stiffened as she pulled away from hugging me, her eyes rounding as she tried to explain.

"Of course, only if you want to take me.I’m not pushing myself on you.I mean, I’m not saying you have to take me as your Luna because that’s your choice, but you see, I’m sure Lucius doesn’t want me here..."

I saw Lucius smile smugly and shake his head before he extended his hand for Patrea to take, and the moment she took it, they immediately disappeared from the cave, leaving me with Lucy and a few demons remaining in the cave.

"so I have no place to go back to, so I'll be back as a regular Omega.If you don’t take me as your Luna, I might have to go back on the Omega Feast and find me a new buyer, or I might take Ethan’s offer and..."

I didn’t finish her words as my hands cupped her face and crushed my lips against her.I knew she was trying to outsmart me again to force me to make a deal with her, but she didn’t have to.

This time I would be the one to offer her the Luna title that rightfully belongs to her.
