BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 18

018 – Half Breed

LUCY.

I knew I would get into trouble for attempting to kiss the Alpha but I couldn’t help it.

He was too sexy, and those plump lips had been tempting me since last night.

But I didn’t mean to do that. It was too late when I realized what I had done.

“I’m sorry, Alpha.” I really messed up this time.

My hands were clutching his shirt, and I shouldn’t be doing this as well, but the kiss we shared made my knees buckle, and I was afraid that if he let me go, I might fall on my ass.

“I want to hear those words again later when I punish you for being too aggressive in public.” His breath fanned against the skin at the back of my ear, and instead of instilling fear, his words. sent shivers of pleasure down my spine and down to my core.

Why does that threat sound so sexy? I was hoping he meant the punishment I was envisioning. Because if that was it, I was all in for it.

“Let go of me now…” He whispered just enough for me to hear.

I gulped, embarrassed to be asked off. I loosened my hold on his shirt and moved my body away just in time for me to hear footsteps approaching. I turned my body around and came face-to-face with a female approaching us.

The female had long, straight blonde hair. She was beautiful, and I just let my eyes roam around her features. She was tall with a lean body but had perfect curves in all the right places. She was wearing a tight training suit, and I felt embarrassed to be wearing a coat, and underneath it was just a loose shirt. I would look like a peasant beside her.

But then I remembered who I was.

“Alpha,” She smiled at him before lowering her head to him. I didn’t hear any response or movement from Alpha Stone behind me. And I suddenly felt jealous. Did he smile at her or maybe wink at her? I wanted to look back, but I didn’t want to see if that was the case.

“Laira, I believed Collin had given you instructions on what to do with her.”

“Yes, Alpha. I’ll take care of her.”

“Good. Not a word about her except the one I discussed with Collin.”

“Yes, Alpha. Not a word.”

I just listened to their conversation, and all the while, my heart panged with jealousy. The female looked friendly and nice, and it was making me insecure.

“Lucy…” Alpha Stone’s voice made me snap my head back to look at him.

“Yes, Alpha?”

“Behave. I don’t want to hear any news from Laira. Control your mouth around others.”

I chewed my bottom lip, not really liking to be scolded like a kid.

“I’ll go now.”

I just nodded my head, but his next action caught me off guard. He leaned forward, and his hand went to the back of my head, holding me in place as he pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead, and my heart fluttered in an instant.

And then he was gone. Or maybe I spaced out and didn’t see him walk away.

“Lucy, right?” The female’s voice snapped me out of my reverie.

I turned my body around and faced her, forcing a smile to curl on my lips.

“Yes, Lucy.”

She extended a hand before a warm smile touched her lips. “Laira, Beta Collin’s mate. Mystic Pack’s Beta Female.”

I took her hand as a wide grin formed on my lips. I felt a big burden lifted from my shoulders. She’s mated, and not just mated, she’s mated to the Alpha’s Beta.

“Nice to meet you, Laira. I’m Lucy, the Omega…”

“Ssshs… You mean the Alpha’s girlfriend?

“I guess so,” I chuckled, not knowing how to respond.

“Well, let’s get you something suitable to wear first. I didn’t know he would let you train on your first day here, so I just gave you simple clothes, but I prepared training clothes you can choose from. Shall we?”

I nodded my head and followed after her, but she slowed down and walked beside me instead.

“It is actually the Gamma Female that should assist you with training, but it’s her son’s first day at school, so they were given time off today so they could go with him. But they’ll be back around lunchtime.”

“I’m sorry, I was taking your time.”

“No, don’t think like that. I was actually eager to meet you. Collin told me so much about you.”
