Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M novel Chapter 124

124 - Luna Lucy LUCY.

Beast and Angel initially wanted to run back together to the packhouse, but Angel was sore and tired, so they decided Adan and I could take charge.

But I was sleepy, and we didn’t want anyone to see Adan’s wings without having the time to explain first.

So Beast offered to take charge and let me ride on his back.

Beast sped through the forest lines in no time, and we arrived at the packhouse just as the sun began to rise and bathe the building in its rays.

We came out of the back of the forest, facing the east part of the house.

We were both naked, but I immediately flicked my fingers, and voila, we were fully clothed! The perks of being a demon.

"Wait..."

Adan tugged on my hand, causing me to come to a halt.

"Something is going on in front of the pack house."

It was only then that I heard people talking, and from the sound of it, there were more than two people in a conversation.

Adan held my hand tightly as we rounded the packhouse and ended at the front, where a crowd of pack members was gathered, and standing on top of the steps was Adan’s whole family including Little Amara.

Only Alonso was not in there - he was still probably sleeping or being whisked away from here by his nanny.

The Beta and Gamma couples were also there and it looked like Beta Collin was the one addressing the crowd.

"What’s going on?"

Adan asked as we walked up the stairs hand in hand, and the crowd bowed their heads to us in respect.

Collin cleared his throat before he moved to the side as Adan and I took his position in the middle.

"Many people saw something flying over the night sky at midnight, and they actually came here at midnight, and I reassured them we were looking into it. But here we are now, and they want answers."

"We are just concerned, Alpha, that some other supernatural or evil forces have infiltrated our territory.We need to be prepared."

Someone in the audience said this, and my heart began to thud loudly.

They saw us.

Adan raised his palm in the air.

"Calm down.We have nothing to worry about, I will explain why, and I’m hoping you will let me talk before you ask questions."

He waited for any objection, but when he was met by silence and nodding heads, he continued.

"Since you're here already, I want to let you know that I found my mate, and she will be your Luna."

"Luna Lucy!"

The crowd murmured, and I couldn’t help but smile because the females in the crowd looked just as excited as I was.

"We all know her as Lucy.But there’s a side we didn’t tell you about yet, but you all deserve to know.The one you saw flying was Lucy."

"It has wings! Are you a fae?" Someone asked.

I shook my head and looked at Adan.He gave me a nod, so! proceeded to speak.

"I’m a half-she-wolf and a half-demon."

There was no use beating around the bush, so I said it directly.

Gasps were heard from the crowd as Adan’s arm wrapped around my shoulder, pulling me closer to his side.

"It’s not going to change anything.Lucy has a wolf, and it makes her one of us.And even if she doesn’t have one, she’s still my Luna."

Adan added when no one from the crowd responded directly to us.

"I like you, Luna Lucy, but is this something we should be terrified of? Demons are..."

The female’s face turned red as she stopped talking, she was probably concerned that her next words might offend or hurt me.

"I can assure you, I meant no harm.If you’re scared, I am as well.I’m just as scared as you are because, until now, I’m not sure if your pack will accept me.I can’t do anything about who I am, but I want to choose what I want to do with my life.And right now, I just want to be with Adan, and be your Luna..."

The tears threatened to fall from my eyes but I blinked them back as my gaze met Adan’s.He smiled warmly at me, giving me the confidence I needed.I smiled back at him before I shifted my attention back to the crowd in front of us.

"I hope you’ll give me a chance.I want to get to know all of you."

"We like you to be our Luna.And we knew it—the moment Beast tamed upon seeing you, we knew our Alpha had found his Luna.We were just shocked, we never encountered any other species aside from humans.So this is something new."

"I’m a she-wolf too...At least half of me.I’m still part of your species."

"You're our Luna, Luna Lucy.We'll take you as you are if you're willing to take us as your pack.We’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

One of the older females said warmly.

My hands flew to my mouth as the sobs and tears flowed, and I tried to stop them, but the tears just kept coming.I never wanted to be accepted as I am, as I wanted at this moment.

"I am very much looking forward to being your Luna.I can assure you, I will always be on your side.So, thank you..."

"Hail to our Luna! Hail to Luna Lucy!"

One of the Elders chanted, and soon the crowd was chanting with him, and my heart just wanted to burst from too many emotions.
