BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 23

023 – Omega Quarter

ADAN STONE.

I had no idea how long I went for a run. By the time I got back to the pack house, the sun was already down, and by the looks of it, dinner had been served.

I just nodded my head at my Beta and ignored his question when he asked me if I wanted to eat. I went directly up to my suite, where I was expecting to see her.

I still had no idea what to do with her.

I didn’t want her to control me and my emotions, but I didn’t want her away from me either.

It was just a fucking 24 hours and yet she was giving me inner turmoil. I pushed the door open and my forehead creased when

I couldn’t smell her. Her scent was too faint it only meant she wasn’t around here or she never went back.

I stepped inside and double-checked, but I couldn’t find her anywhere inside the suite. The room looked like how we left it this morning since I didn’t allow anyone to clean the room today.

Soon, Beast was growling in my head. If I was not bothered by the Omega’s absence, I would be taunting my wolf for suddenly connecting with my mind. But I knew he was upset that Lucy was gone and was now fucking blaming me again. A s expected, he would only let me feel him when he was fucking mad at me.

‘Where’s the Omega?’ I sent Beta Collin a mindlink as I walked out of my room, slamming the door as I exited and headed downstairs.

‘Talk with Laira, Alpha. She can explain it better.’ Collin replied, and I wanted to curse him. What the fuck happened to let me know everything happening in the pack, especially within the packhouse?

‘Where is Laira?’

‘At the office with me.’

‘Meet me by the stairs.’

I doubled my steps, my nose flaring. Did she fucking run away or leave?

Beast growled again. He was giving me an awful headache, and I tried to push him to the back of my mind, but he wasn’t giving up control. And this was pissing me off more.

I don’t need him right now. I needed to find the Omega. I didn’t spend money on her just so she could leave after a day. 1

I kept telling myself it was the money that was pissing me off, but in reality, I knew I fucked up and led her to leave. If she did run away, it was because of how I treated her after I fucked her. But I kept justifying to myself that that was not my problem. She should have expected that. I was not made for cuddles and sweet nothings.

I saw Laira and Collin by the foot of the stairs, waiting for me.

“Where is she?”

“She requested her own place, Alpha. Where she can rest.”

“And you decided for her instead of asking me?”

“She said she didn’t want to bother you since it looked like you were disappointed with her.”

My brows raised at Laira’s words. But I didn’t need to explain to them. “Where is she?”

I was expecting she would point me to one of the guest rooms.

“At the Omega quarter?”

“What?”

“I can pick her up and bring her here if you need her.” Collin volunteered, but I could see he was frustrated too. Probably with me.

“I can take care of that.” I didn’t wait for any response as I walked past them and headed for the front door.

Beta Colling walked behind me.

“Alpha, don’t scare her.”

“We both fucking know she’s not easily scared.” I didn’t know why I said that, but it was the truth. And it was the reason why I wanted to put her in her place. I’m the fucking Alpha here. I don’t need a female, especially an Omega to run over m

I sat by the window sill just looking over the grounds outside this apartment building, or what they called the Omega quarter. Most of the residents here are Omegas working within and outside the territory.

Laira told me the Alpha provided this place for free and they just needed to pay for the electricity and water bill, but the maintenance and keeping the place safe was still under the Alpha. She was hesitant to put me here, but I insisted. I didn’t like the way Alpha Stone looked at me earlier. He was disgusted with me and I didn’t even know what I did wrong.
