BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 48

048 – The Mercenary and The Witch

ADAN STONE.

Three days went by swiftly, and I’ve been on high alert ever since Lucy accidentally made her palm glow red with fire. I was certain Lucien would appear out of nowhere, but so far, it has been calm, which is making me more uneasy.

The censor cameras, which had been custom-built to monitor body

temperature similar to Lucy’s, had already been installed in every border, including the middle of the forest, which

was connected to the neutral forest, and around the packhouse. I had never splurged my own money on something like this, but I didn’t even hesitate to

open my bank account this time. All for

her.

I had never left Lucy alone, and in cases

where I had to be away, my Beta or

Gamma would be with her. And two days

ago, my parents moved to the packhouse under the pretense that my mother wanted to spend time with her, but in reality, I sought help from Dad.

Two Alphas could protect her better than one. I laid out everything I knew about her, and if there was any doubt in me that my father would consider me crazy for protecting a she-demon, it flew out of the window the moment he said they would be moved back to the packhouse.

And Mom didn’t need to be persuaded. I was half expecting she would ask me if I was planning to make Lucy my Luna, and that my answer would be the basis for

whether I could get help from them, but

the question never came.

Maybe they knew the answer already.

I watched from the balcony of my office

in the training building as my father trained Lucy in the cold weather. They were using different sharp weapons,

from the morning stars that she

requested to simple daggers. I could see the amazement on the faces of my

warriors and other people as Lucy used those weapons with skill and speed.

She was a natural warrior, and I had no doubt that if she could just control her fire, she would be excellent at protecting

herself.

‘Alpha, Blade arrived with one female

companion. I was assuming it was the witch. He was overly protective of her and stated that he would only respond to you directly after I asked questions about the

female.’

‘That sounds like Blade. Did you check

the security camera to make sure the body temperature of his companion is not the same as Lucy’s?’

‘I did, even before they reached the northern border. Blade’s temperature

was normal, while the witch’s is different but nowhere near Lucy’s body

temperature.

‘Good. Let them in. I will meet them at

the old packhouse but take them in your

car. Leave their car by the border and let

the men check it thoroughly. If Blade disagrees, tell him it’s Alpha Stone’s

order.’

‘Noted, Alpha,’ Kingston answered, and I immediately cut off our mindlink before

opening one to my father and my Beta.

‘Blade arrived with a female. I am

assuming it’s the red mountain witch. I will meet them at the ruin. Dad, Collin, I

want you to keep an eye on Lucy.’

‘Noted, Alpha,’ Collin answered.

‘Take Collin with you, I can take care of

Lucy, and we’re surrounded by warriors. Witches can be deceiving.’ Of course, Dad would disagree and think I didn’t trust

his capability to protect Lucy.

‘I have Kingston with me. And I will take

a few men as well. I want to secure Lucy,

Dad. Don’t argue. Alpha’s order.’

‘Fine. I hope all turns out well, son.’

‘Me too. Keep your mindlink open all the time, and do not say a word to her until I

talk to the witch.’ I added before making my way down the building. I checked

from afar if Lucy would be able to see me,

but it was a good thing that my father moved her position so she had her back to

I didn’t waste any more time before I slipped inside the forest line just beside the training building and began running.

I knew it would be faster with Beast, but

without Lucy, it would be harder to

control him, so I had to rely on my own strength to reach the old building that used to be the pack’s packhouse over a

century ago.

‘Any update?’ I connected with my Gamma again.

‘You’re just right on the timing. Blade just finished arguing with me about leaving his car, but we’re good now. We’re heading to the old building. Man,

this man hasn’t changed a bit. Still fucking growly and annoying.’

‘I know, but he’s the best man for this job.

‘If I were right, he was overly protective of the female with him. Maybe something

brewed while they were traveling.’ He

chuckled.

‘Are you telling me he was smitten with an older female? Doesn’t sound like the

Blade I know.’

‘Older? Nah! This one looks almost the

same age as Lucy.’

‘What the fuck?’ I growled in my head! Who did Blade take with him?’

‘Relax… If it’s a witch, maybe she can disguise herself as a younger version of herself. She looks young, but she doesn’t

look like she’s naive.’

‘No, fucking witches are naive. I’m near the building now. I’ll wait for you inside.’

I reached the ruin in no time, and there were already three warriors around it. I

asked them to be here even before I left

the training grounds. I acknowledged their greetings before heading inside the decaying building. It was empty, and some parts were destroyed, but it was still standing strong. We’ve been using this place as a training ground for combat with weapons until we were able to build
