BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 41

041- The Beast and I

LUCY.

I stood outside the car that would drive the grand Alpha couple and Alexa’s family to the airport. Beside me were the Beta Couple and Lena. Gamma Kingston would be driving them and had taken some warriors on a convoy car.

But Adan was not here.

Momma wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheeks before she reminded me to give her a call from time to time, especially since Adan usually forgets to check on them. I nodded my head as I returned her hugs.

I had already said my goodbyes to Alexa and her family, and only Pops was left.

I swallowed hard as I looked at him, not sure if he still wanted me to call him Pops after the event in the library.

I turned my body to face him before I smiled at him. “Have a safe trip, sir.”

He opened his arms and hugged me, which made tears pool in my eyes. “Pops… I told you to call me Pops.”

“Yes, Pops.” I chuckled softly as my arms snaked around his body, and I hugged him back. “I’m sorry, Adan is not here. He was busy attending to something.”

I was lying. I had no idea where he was, and when I asked Beta Collin, he said he didn’t want to be disturbed.

“He already met us and said our goodbyes. Don’t worry about it. But remember what I told you. Keeping something from Adan won’t help you.” He whispered in my ear, and it made me close my eyes. “He deserves to know more about the female he is falling in love with.”

My heart began thudding loudly at his words. Does Adan love me?

He withdrew from hugging me and placed a soft peck on my forehead. “Send us the news if a pup is coming, and we’ll fly back home immediately.”

“Yes, please…” Momma added as Pop’s arm went around her.

“I don’t have a wolf yet,” I told them in a soft voice.

“I spoke to Elder Mercy, and she will visit you soon. In the olden days, they did rituals. and made herbal mixes to help the wolves within mature faster. So hopefully, she can help you.”

I nodded my head and smiled at the couple in front of me. “Thank you. I promise you’ll be the first to know if that happens.”

“No pressure, sweetheart. Take your time. Get to know each other well… and the pups. will come at the right time.” Momma added before she hugged me again.

I watched as the car drove off, and the moment they were gone from my sight, I turned my body around to face Beta Collin.

“Where is the Alpha?”

“He doesn’t want to be found at the moment. I’m sorry, Lucy.” Beta Collin answered.

“What’s going on?” I asked, my brows furrowing.

“The Alpha sometimes just wants to be alone. He’s fine. So just go on with your day and don’t mind him.” Laira smiled at me.

“Is he on a date with someone?” My heart clenched at the thought of him spending time with another female. Why would he refuse to see me if he was not busy with a female?

Beta Collin chuckled and shook his head. ” The Alpha doesn’t go on dates. And he has not spent any time with any females since he took you home. So relax. Like what Laira said, he just needs to blow off steam sometimes.”

“Blow off some steam? Was he angry or something?”

They just both shrugged their shoulders, and I just let out a sigh before turning my body around to head inside the packhouse. “Fine. I’ll just wait until he comes home.”

I was walking in silence when, all of a sudden, I heard a commotion from behind

I swiftly turned around and saw Beta Collin running toward the direction of the training grounds while some females were running past the packhouse heading in the other direction. My eyes met with Laira, who was rushing to where I was standing. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the packhouse.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“The Alpha shifted, there were many injured warriors already. Come let’s get you inside?”

“What?” I shoved her hand away from my arm as I stopped walking. “I need to go there.

“No, Collin’s instruction was to keep you away from there.” She held my arm again, pulling me to the packhouse.

“But if Beast is there, he will calm down. when he sees me!”

“No! Not now!” Laira’s voice was slightly higher as panic flitted from her eyes. “Let’s get you inside!”

“No!” I swatted her hand and turned my body around as I began running down the steps.

In seconds, Laira was blocking my way, and I was slowly getting pissed off.

“You can’t stop me!” I snarled at her.
