BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 19

019 – Where’s My Punishment?

LUCY.

If training was hard, pretending training was hard was harder.

Laira mixed me with five other females who had just recently shifted in the last four months, and most of them were still awkward with the training task. And since I had ‘no’ experience at all with training, I had to be more awkward than them. Pretending to pant after running some laps was hard because I wasn’t even sweating while the other females were already red in their faces.

But I survived. Whining in training was never my forte, but somehow I learned how to do it today – great job to the females who would rather ask me how

Alpha Stone rolls in the bed rather than run the laps.

And because I was a nice little Omega, I just smiled and fluttered my lashes at them, pretending I was too shy to share my bed escapades with the Alpha when in reality I had nothing to share.

Partly my fault, because I decided to wash myself first, making the Alpha realize hunger was more important than getting his cock inside me. No, I wasn’t frustrated. I still have tonight, and I was looking forward to my punishment.

But time was dragging so slowly. I thought by lunchtime, the Alpha would come and see me, and maybe eat lunch with me, but then he didn’t. It just made me realize I was not his real girlfriend, and I was just merely here as a display to save his ego.

It was already three in the afternoon when Laira decided to call it a day, and I was more than thankful. I miss Alpha

Stone already.

I was already on my way to the locker room when two males blocked my way.

“Stephen,” The guy with black hair and a nose ring extended his hand. I accepted and shook his hand, pulling my hand immediately before stating my name. “Lucy.”

“This is my buddy, Mark.” He introduced the man beside him, who just threw a wave of his hand at me. “Are you new here? I haven’t seen you around.”

“Yes, I just got here last night.”

“No wonder. Otherwise, I won’t miss noticing you.”

I smiled at him, about to tell him that I was the Alpha’s girlfriend to shut him off. But before I could do that, someone cleared his throat so loudly that it caught all our attention. And if I was not mistaken, it came from the Alpha who just told me not to flirt with anyone.

Our heads snapped in the direction of the sound and my gaze fell on Alpha Stone with a really dark expression on his face. It was darker than the one he had when he punished Cesar at the Feast.

“Alpha Stone,” Stephen and his friend, Mark, acknowledged the Alpha, and I just stayed there looking at him, thinking of ways to defend myself just in case he began scolding me in front of his men.

“The male locker is on the other side. What the fuck are you two doing here?” He asked them.

Stephen scratched his head and smiled sheepishly as he threw a glance at me, and I restrained myself from glaring at him. What’s that glance supposed to mean?

“I just thought I could talk with Lucy for a while…”

“Lucy…” Alpha Stone cleared his throat, with his forehead still creasing, and I could see the Beta behind him struggling to keep a poker face. “You mean my girlfriend.”

The color drained from Stephen’s face as he raised his hands in the air before stepping backward, followed by his friend. “My apologies, Alpha. I had no idea. Sorry for bothering you, Lady Lucy.”

They both tipped their heads down before running away to the other side of the training hall. My gaze followed them for a while before I returned my gaze to the Alpha. Beta Collin was nowhere beside him. He was already walking toward where Laira was.

“It’s not even a day since I told you…”

“Hold there…” I pointed a finger at him, my eyes glaring. “I didn’t do anything wrong.” I dropped my hand and let out a sigh, and he was just looking at me. My eyes ran along his body. He had no shirt on and sweat was trickling down his arms.

“I was about to tell him I’m your girlfriend when you walked in and stole the show.”

“So now it’s my fault because I came around.”

“No. I’m just saying, he blocked my way, when I really wanted to take a shower. We weren’t even talking for three minutes yet.”

“Are you disappointed I cut off your conversation?”

“Oh, Goddess, Alpha. Are you even listening?” I hissed, trying to control my voice.

His eyes squinted, and I knew if I stayed one more minute we might end up bickering more and I might forget I was just an Omega.
