BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 55

055 – Two Ceremonies

LUCY.

I walked down the stairs straight to Adan’s office. I overslept again, but I was hoping I

didn’t miss breakfast yet.

I was about to knock, but the door opened to

his office, and behind it was my handsome

Alpha, who was already smiling at me, making my panties drop and my morning brighter.

“Good morning, Alpha Stone,” I greeted him, smiling widely as I swayed my body until I got hold of myself.

“Good morning, Luna Lucy,” he greeted back, making my jaw drop open before I

tilted my head around to see if anybody was around us.

“Don’t say that, someone might hear.” I felt my cheeks burning.

He chuckled before he brushed his knuckles against my cheek. “I thought you had accepted me already?”

My hand clasped over his on my cheek as I scooted my body closer to him. “I do, but

I’m not sure if your people will accept an Omega as a Luna.”

“She can be a demon too, and I will still want her as my Luna, and I’m sure my people will stand by my decision.”

I smiled at him before snaking my arms around his neck. For some reason, I always wanted to cling to him.

“And don’t forget that some of them have been calling you Luna since the moment they saw Beast protecting you. And that he was calm around you.”

“They don’t have a choice, right? If Beast

chooses me, they can’t object to him or he’ll

eat them.” I stifled a giggle as Adan’s arms

wrapped around my body.

“I’m glad you’re around. He’s been more civil with me lately.”

“He talks to you now?”

“From time to time. Usually, it’s about you…

“Beast likes me.”

“I like you more…” He sounded like a boy who lost a game.

“Are you jealous of your own wolf?”

“I am. You mentioned they can’t object to you being the Luna because Beast would lash out at them. But you never said anything about them being scared of me if they object

to my decision to have you as a Luna. I guess I’m too weak in your eyes.” His voice

sounded hurt, and I had no idea how to

answer that. He was really competing with

his wolf.

But him, weak? He must be crazy.

“Oh, Adan… You can’t be… Oh, Goddess, how would I explain this?” I was still making up words on how to make him feel better, but the crazy Alpha began laughing as he guided my body toward the corridor and we began walking toward the dining room.

“I’m not offended. I’m more than happy

that Beast likes you.”

“Oh, good. Because I like you both.”

“We just have to have the shield around the

territory, then we can announce our engagement, and then we can plan the Luna ceremony?”

“That fast?”

“Yup. I want to chain you around my neck.”

“But if words spread out, maybe they will reach my father,” I told him, ignoring his jokes.

“Look, Lucy.” He stopped walking and

turned my body to face him, his hands

holding my shoulders. “We can’t always hide in the shadows. That is not living. We

will live our lives, and we will prepare for the

day he will visit us. Now if you change your mind, I’m all up to visiting him as well.”

“You’re crazy if you think I will allow you to go to the underworld.”

“You’re of age, Lucy. You have the right to choose the life you want.”

“My father is not ordinary.”

“But we can’t hide from him forever. But on

a lighter note, I spoke with Althea this morning, and she told me she knows what to do with your necklace so she can separate all

the energies that suppress all power and energy within you. Maybe it can help with your wolf, and maybe if your wolf is out, he will not want to change you into a full demon anymore.”

I hope so. But I had no idea what plans he

had for me.

“Where is Althea?” I asked as we walked again. This time he was holding my hand, and I couldn’t help but feel giddy. Having

Adan close to me felt relaxing.

“She’s with the Gamma and Blade. They are rounding up the border so she can see the whole perimeter. She needs to know what area to include on the shield.”

“Whole territory? So they left early?”

“Yes. Five in the morning.”

“Wow! I was probably still snoring by then. Where will she do her spell?”

“There’s an old building, it’s the old

packhouse, and she said she feels more at ease there, and it’s away from the crowd, so

it’s best to do that there.”

My heart was thudding loudly, and I was hoping Althea would agree to the other one I requested of her.

“Laira was making sure her things and the

ingredients she had requested were already there.” Adan continued as he pulled a chair for me at the dining table. No one was around, and it looked like we were the only two eating breakfast.

I sat and followed his movement until he

was seated in his chair. “So everyone woke up early and did their job while I snored and purred in bed? How useless am I?”

Adan stopped putting food on my plate as he

chuckled before throwing a wink at me. “You did a great job last night, so you’re excused from toiling hard today.”

“Oh, I’m sure pleasing the Alpha is not the only job for a Luna. So you need to give me something else to do too, Alpha Stone.”

“Don’t rush. You’ll have so much on your plate once you’re officially the Luna of this pack. But first, let the witch secure the territory, and then we can discuss what other things you can do.”

“Uhmmm… Will I get a salary once I become a Luna? You know, to buy personal things.
