BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 57

057 – Blade

GAMMA KINGSTON.

I knew something was off when the witch raised an invisible barrier that prohibited us from entering the ruin where she was performing her rituals. And I couldn’t even mindlink my Alpha, but I tried to keep calm. Maybe I was just not familiar with witches and their spells. If my Alpha trusted her, then I should too.

But the moment Alpha Stone flinched from his position and anger flashed in his eyes, I knew something went wrong. The Alpha didn’t like what was going on. I began to slam my body against the shield, and soon Blade and the other warriors with us were doing the same thing.

We all looked like fucking lunatics trying to crush an invisible wall we couldn’t even see.

But nothing we did could shatter it. It was too strong, and even if we all slammed our

bodies on it at the same time, it didn’t break.

“Put the fucking shield down!” Blade was roaring, shaking the ground as he kept pounding his fists against the barrier while his eyes were fixated on the witch, who I didn’t notice until now. Her body was convulsing as blood trickled down her nose.

“What the fuck is happening?” I growled, and the warriors around me were expressing

the same sentiments.

If Alpha Stone’s reaction earlier bothered

me, it was nothing compared to what I was feeling at the moment. My eyes widened as my jaw dropped open the moment I saw fire engulf the Alpha and Lucy. I was fucking terrified they would burn and that it was a message that hell was coming.

‘Collin, Alpha Audrius!’ I sent a mindlink to the two men who were left at the packhouse. ‘Issue a high alert on all borders and double the number of patrollers around unmanned territory borders. Lucy let out a fire.’

I went straight to the point. We already discussed previously that ‘Lucy let out a fire’ or something similar only meant one thing: Lucien might show up anytime now.

‘Is the shield up?’ Alpha Audrius asked, and I

didn’t know what to say.

‘I had no idea, we are unable to talk to the witch right now. I guess we will find out

soon.’

‘Then let’s move as if the shield does not

exist. Where is Adan?’

‘With Lucy.’ How could I tell them the Alpha was burning? Fuck!

‘Okay. Keep communication open.’ Alpha

Audrius stated.

‘Noted, Alpha.’ Both Collin and I answered in

unison before the link closed.

My eyes darted back to the Alpha at the exact

moment I felt like water was splashing out as the shield shattered and just disappeared. I didn’t waste any time and rushed to where

Adan and Lucy were.

“Tell Lucy to take out the fire!” I yelled to the Alpha, as I took off my shirt and tried to put out the fire on their bodies using my shirt, but it was useless.

“I’ve been trying to!” Adan snapped at me, and it was only then that I realized he was still standing still with Lucy in his arms as if the fire wasn’t burning him.

I moved my hand closer to the fire, only to pull it back in an instant. “The fuck!” It was fucking hot, but how was Adan still standing and not burning?

“Lucy… baby. Your fire hurt Kingston.” Adan was talking to her in a voice totally different from the way he snapped at me, but it

worked.

Soon, the fire was gone. Lucy and Adan were right in front of me without any burns or damage, as if the fire earlier was just a

figment of my imagination.

BLADE.

I came with them to the ruin with no

expectations. I just wanted to get over and done with this, and maybe Althea would decide to go back to the mountains, and I would take her there without any questions.

I wanted her out of here before the full

moon. Because as much as I never killed just for fun or out of annoyance, I might end up doing that if someone else other than me

tried to satiate her heat.

I was not sure if witches would emit a heat

scent as she-wolves during their heat. But I

was one hundred percent sure she would go

into heat.

What if her heat scent came around? Adan

was not marked, and with many unmated wolves checking her out, she might give in and spend her heat with them.

And the thought alone was making me furious and fucking insecure.

Because she never wanted me.

Before she came, I couldn’t care less if no one found me attractive. I lost my mate

many years ago and had learned to shut off

any emotions.

No females, no pains.

And I was okay with that. But then the Goddess knew how to torture an already

dead soul. She sent me a new mate, someone

that would ignite the fire within me, but the fucking thing was, she sent someone twelve years younger than me.

How could a young, free-spirited female end up liking someone like me? 4

And what will I do with a pup? Was she meant to be my mate or my child?

But no matter how many times I told myself I would reject her, I couldn’t do it.

Something kept pulling me back to her.

“I’ll stay here. I’m not leaving the ruins.” I

crossed my arms against my chest and

remained on my spot as I looked ahead. I

wanted to make sure she was just within reach if something happened.

“Of course, you will. I don’t need another

soul in here except for Alpha Stone and Lucy. “Her hand went to my forearm, but she withdrew right away.

Did she feel the sparks? Because I did, and it

was making my fucking knees weak. It had been years since I felt it, and I had forgotten how it felt. But instead of my previous mate, it was Althea wrapped up in my arms that suddenly flashed in my head.

Was I doing the wrong thing? Shouldn’t I be honoring the memory of my mate? Was this my fault because I no longer spent my nights thinking of her? Althea had occupied my thoughts since the day I saw her.

“I don’t have a soul,” I snapped at her,

trying to mask the real emotions that her

touch had given me.

“Ha ha,” she feigned a laugh before rolling
