BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 35

035 – Lucien

ADAN STONE.

“Now!” I slammed my palm on the table, and Lucy’s body jolted at the impact created. Her eyes widened as she stared at me with shock, but I could see defiance in her eyes.

I was expecting her to lash out at me, but instead, she stood up and excused herself from the table before walking away.

The age and the color of her hair – I could let it go. She might have thought it was unnecessary, but hiding everything about knowing her father was the one that set me off.

I asked her about it not just once but all the time, and she would deny it. What the fuck was so hard about telling me who her father was? Did she commit a crime against him?

The moment she left the dining room, I threw the table napkin on the table, pushed my chair, and stood up.

Aeon and Alexa stood up as well, and in seconds, Alexa was already in front of me, her hand holding my chest, stopping me from following Lucy.

“Can you calm down, Adan?”

I held her wrist and gently pulled it away from my body. “This is between us. I apologize for ruining your lunch.”

I didn’t wait for her to say anything, and I just walked away, but I could hear footsteps behind me.

“Adan,” Aeon’s voice was firm. And despite the fact that I didn’t want anyone meddling with my affair, I knew better than to disrespect any of my family members.

I turned my body around to face him, slipping my hands inside my pockets. He stopped in front of me, his face void of any emotion.

“I’m not sure how much you knew about Lucy, but it looked like she was hiding many things from you.” He began.

“You noticed that too?” I scoffed sarcastically.

“I meant well, and I’m not taking sides, but that female up there,” He pointed a

finger on the floor above the staircase. “. is an orphan. She might have a father, but I am fully aware she never liked him. She was raised by rogue parents, and we have no idea where she was for the last nine years but somehow she came out alive.

Alexa had given up hope that we would find her. So please, give her the benefit of the doubt. At least for Alexa.”

“I’m not going to do anything to her, I just don’t like her lying.”

“Some people are not comfortable sharing things that hurt them. At some point, we all lie to protect something. Don’t forget I pulled out a big lie to protect your cousin, and I will do it again in a heartbeat if I need to.”

I brushed my palms over my face before. letting out a big sigh.

“I hope it doesn’t matter to you if she’s a rogue or human, or maybe a fucking toad shifter or something,” Aeon added. I chuckled. Toad? Nah. A bunny perhaps.

“No, it doesn’t. She could be a spider too, but I hated being lied to.”

“We all do. But let me ask you, do you like her? Or is this just because you needed her so everyone will stop asking you?” I motioned for him to follow me and ushered him to a small receiving room nearby. I closed the door and stood in front of it before I broke the news to him.

“I think she’s my mate.”

“How did you know? She doesn’t have a wolf.” He might have smelled her.

“Yes. But she’s emitting a scent…”

“That gets you addicted to it in seconds.” Aeon completed the sentence for me, and I just nodded my head. “You need her wolf out. She might be part human then if she didn’t shift on time.”

“I don’t fucking care if she can’t shift, but why the fuck will I be mated to an Omega?”

“Why the fuck do you think I’m mated to a rogue’s daughter?”

“Alexa has Alpha blood! A strong one!”

“Never question the Goddess. And for fuck’s sake, you’re not the only Alpha mated to an Omega. The only question here is, do you want her or not?”

I massaged my fingers against my temples and didn’t answer him.

“Let her go if you don’t want anything to do with her.”

“No fucking way!” I was not able to control my response.

A smile slowly tugged on Aeon’s mouth before his hand reached for my shoulder, tapping it. “It means you like her a little too much. Then don’t let her go.”

He then turned around and reached for the door handle, but looked back at me before he could open the door. “I have a friend with an Omega Luna, I’ll ask what they did to make her wolf come out. But promise me, you won’t be too hard on her. Alexa will be devastated if you hurt Lucy.”

“I don’t mishandle females.”

“Emotional torture is fucking worse than physical torture, don’t forget that.” He opened the door and walked out.

“Aeon,” I called after him, making him stop midway through the corridor. ” Don’t say anything to anyone about the mate thing because I’m not sure too.”

“I want to tell Alexa. But I’ll make sure she won’t tell anyone yet.”

I nodded my head, that would be good for now.

LUCY.

I paced back and forth inside the bedroom while fidgeting with my fingers. I really blew up this time. I still had no idea what to tell him about my father.

I could easily explain the age and the hair, but I didn’t want him to know about

He would surely be repulsed if he found out I have demon blood.

Who would want a demon? And I knew that supernatural species really didn’t blend well, so they tried not to cross each other’s paths. Only the witches were able to communicate with almost every supernatural species, but wolves mixing with vampires, demons, and water nymphs was a rare case and almost unheard of.

If I didn’t like Alpha Stone, maybe I would risk taking it, but damn this! I really liked him, and I didn’t want him to throw me out before I was ready to let go of him.

Think of something.

I was sure now that he would ask for my father’s name. And I didn’t have one! My father is just Prince Lucien, Prince of

Darkness!

The door to the suite receiving room sounded, and my heart thudded loudly.
