BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 60

060-To The Underworld

LUCY.

“Mate… You’re mine, Lucija Valerie Foster.” Adan’s voice sounded so hungry and sexy that my core throbbed in an instant.

Everything I felt for Adan just exploded in full magnitude the moment I finally saw him.

When Angel rounded the corner and the wind was blowing against us, an

intoxicating scent hit us, and she stumbled

forward and fell to the ground.

‘Mate!’ Angel growled, and I nodded my

head at her.

‘Do you know who it is?’ I asked as my heart thudded like it was about to explode, hoping she would say Adan’s name.

‘No. We need to find him.’

‘But Adan needs us, Angel. Can we save him first?’

‘Yes!’ Angel rose on her paws and began running again. ‘What if Adan is our mate?’

‘What if Adan is not our mate? What if we end up liking our mate? Can we hurt Adan?’ I had too many questions, and I had no idea if I wanted answers to them.

‘Focus, Lucy! Let’s save Adan first, and we’ll deal with our mate later!’ Angel snapped at

Although she was not saying it, I could

feel her emotions too. She wanted Adan and

Beast for us.

‘Oh, Goddess! The smell keeps getting

stronger. It’s either Adan, or it’s someone with him!’ I shrieked. I couldn’t help being hysterical.

Goddess, please don’t play a big joke on me that would surely crush Adan!

‘Stop, Lucy! Focus!’

And then the whole clearing came into view. My gaze went past my father and Lucius and ended up at Adan. He had his back on us, and

although I wasn’t sure if the smell was

coming from his body, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

I failed to see everyone else but him.

And like a slow-motion movie, my Alpha

turned his body around and said the word I was waiting to hear from him.

“Mate!” Adan growled, and my heart jumped out of my chest as my eyes watered with happiness.

Angel was saying words in my head, but I

failed to process them as I choked on my

sobs.

I knew we were running at top speed until it hit me that I was running on my feet as the cold winter wind blew against my bare skin. I felt a connection snap inside of me and I began hearing voices in my head.

Was this a pack link?

“Adan!” It was all I could manage as the words got stuck in my throat while I kept

running toward him.

Adan, my fated mate, was also running at full speed from the other direction, and soon he had closed the distance between us.

My eyes locked with the deep blue eyes that captivated me from the first moment I saw them, and I felt the mate bond snap into place. The world faded as our bodies collided, arms tangled with each other. My wings, with a mind of their own, erupted from my back and enveloped us in a hug, protecting us from outside forces.

My lips locked with his as my core continued

to throb. I wanted him inside me, but my

filthy thoughts were interrupted by my

father.

“Lucija!!!” Lucien bellowed, and I froze from kissing Adan as my grip on his shirt tightened.

Adan’s thumb brushed against my cheeks as he smiled warmly. “It’s okay. I’m here with you.”

I nodded my head and pecked his lips before I slowly lowered us to the ground a few meters away from my father.

I was still naked, and Adan moved his hands

to the hem of his shirt, but my father was faster. In the blink of an eye, he had placed a

leather body suit on me.

I saw Adan’s mouth twitch as his eyes

dilated when he saw what I was wearing.

‘Like what you’re seeing?’ I tried connecting with his mind, wondering if it would work.

‘Lucy?’ He didn’t answer my question, but his eyes had given me the words I wanted to

hear.

‘Hello, Alpha. I’m officially a member of

your pack. But first, let’s get down to

business.’ I smirked at him before I retracted

my wings and turned my body around to face my father. “Lucien, thank you for your visit, but it’s already late. I and my mate would like to retire for the night. Perhaps you can visit us some other day.”

“Are you throwing me out of your territory? Is that how you greet your father after two years?”

“We never really had a good father-

daughter relationship. Perhaps we can start now? But I want to rest now. We can talk

tomorrow.”

“What made you think that this was your

call to make? I didn’t come looking for you just to let you slip away that easily.” He extended his hand, his eyes glowing dark red as if he were summoning me. “Come here

now, and the rest of them will have a

peaceful night.”

“And if not? Will you create chaos here?”

“You know the answer to your question,

mea unica filia.”

‘Relax.’ Adan dug into my head, and I tried to steady my breathing.

My eyes then darted to Lucius, who was shifting in his position, and soon he was

connecting with my mind. ‘Don’t argue with him, Lucija. He’s not going to hesitate to create havoc here.’

‘And you’re just going to let him.’ I snapped

at him.

The difference between our mind links – you could never tell it between demons, unlike werewolves, whose eyes would be flecked with white when one was doing mind links.

‘This is none of my business. The fuck do I care about these werewolves here!’ Lucius

scoffed at me.

‘Alpha Stone is my mate.’

‘So what? We never care about mates. You

will forget him once you see other demons in

our realm. Let it go. I know many demons you can choose from. Do you want an Alpha male? There are far too many in the

underworld.’

‘I want my own mate!’

‘Fucking stubborn!’

“Lucija, I’m waiting.” Lucien still had his hand extended, but I could see his jaw

twitching. He was controlling his anger.

“I’m staying here. Nothing you can do…” I was not able to finish my statement when the line of fire started to ignite and it began

crawling, which I assumed was the boundary

of the shield.

“The fire will not touch your territory, but it

will destroy everything outside of yours.” He flashed us a devilish smirk that made my

blood boil.

“You can’t do that!” My eyes followed the

line of fire that kept crawling on both sides,

and they were moving too fast. The only one without fire was the space between me and my father.

He raised his hands upward and chuckled. ” I’m doing it already!”
