Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M novel Chapter 127

127 - Family LUCY.

I stayed with Althea for a little more time as we talked about her and her plans.She wanted to experience going to school.I didn’t know she had never been to a real school.

Everything she learned was taught to her by Adora.

It was also the reason she never had any friends at all and had never really felt attracted to anyone.

Her world was limited to the spells and magic that she learned at an early age.

That's why I couldn’t blame her if she didn’t have the courage I had in me when I forced my way into Adan’s life.

Despite being powerful, Althea was still new when it came to falling in love, and Blade rejecting her was surely not a good introduction to it.

After our heart-to-heart talk, Althea and I separated.

She went back to her room, and I headed downstairs to find Adan.

I wanted a word with him and Blade.I wanted this sorted out.I wasn’t going to force Blade to accept Althea, but he had to be man enough to face her and at least give their bond a try.

If nothing else works out, they should just disconnect the bond rather than ignore each other.It was unfair to let Althea keep his mark if he had no intention of even attempting to try this relationship with her.

I did understand, however, that the rejection could make his wolf weak, but he also needed to do his part and not just depend on Althea if he wanted to save his wolf.

But then, if he were a first -blood Alpha like what Adan told me, he should be strong enough to survive multiple rejections, right? Was he just making an excuse? I knocked softly at Adan’s office door, which opened almost immediately, and behind it was Adan.

Adan’s warm smile made my heart somersault in my chest.

My Alpha was so handsome that just looking at him made me forget for a moment why I wanted to talk with him.

"Hello there, beautiful."

His hands held my waist as he pulled me closer, and he leaned his face forward, letting his mouth trail kisses on my neck.

"You smell so fucking good...Want to have breakfast now?"

"Adan..."

I moaned as my hands clung to his shirt while his mouth became aggressive on my neck.

But then I remembered why I wanted a word with him.I snapped myself out of the trance he put me in and spoke calmly.

"We need to talk."

"I assumed you were here for hanky panky."

He chuckled before he lifted me off the ground and my legs automatically coiled around his hips.He took me inside the office and closed the door behind us.

My arms were locked around his neck as I dipped my mouth into it, sucking his skin.I was just like him, I couldn't stop myself around him.

"I thought you wanted to talk," he growled lowly.

His hand on my ass tightened when I swiped my tongue on his marked spot.

"Lucy...

"Enough of that," I said as I pulled away from his neck before it led to something else and wriggled my ass so he would let me go, which he did right away.

His eyes followed my movement as I placed my hands on my hips and tilted my head to look at him.

"Where is Blade?"

My eyes made a swift sweep around his office.

"He left."

He let out a deep sigh.

"He left your office or..."

"He left my territory."

"What? For good? Or is he coming back later?"

"For good."

"How long has it been since he’s been gone?"

"Maybe ten, fifteen minutes."

"And why didn’t you come to me? You know that I’m waiting, right?" I asked, my forehead creasing.

He pointed at the paperwork on his desk.

"I wanted to, but then saw them, and I said, fuck it, I will read just a few to help Collin.When you came, I was exactly on my way out to see you."

"Hmmm..."

I mumbled my reply, squinting my eyes as if I were angry, but I wasn’t.

"Am I in trouble?" He asked, and he looked rather lost as he scratched his head with his fingers.

Gone was the arrogant Alpha Stone, who was always sure of his actions.

"I should have gone directly to you, right? My Luna above all."

A smile curled on my lips as I rose on tiptoe and cupped his face, kissing and biting his bottom lip for a moment before letting him go.

"I want to punish you for making me wait, but I have to go and tell Althea that Blade left..."

I didn’t wait for him to answer as I hurriedly walked toward the door.I was already in the corridor when I heard him say something that made me giggle.

"Isn’t this punishment already? Leaving me alone after you attacked my lips?" He grunted.

"Sort of!" I answered, giggling, as I ran and walked up the stairs and into Althea’s room, hoping Patrea was not there because I was not sure how Patrea would react to all this.

I knocked softly on her door as soon as I reached her room.

She opened it, and my expression softened.Her eyes were still puffy, and her nose was now red from all the crying.

"He left..." she said when I failed to say anything.

I swallowed hard before nodding my head.She was probably using her locator spell.
