BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 69

069 – Lucien & Patrea

LUCIEN.

I didn’t find the witch. And I couldn’t

force Stone’s pack members to reveal her

whereabouts.

Hades had called for me and asked for an explanation of what happened the night that I took Lucija home. Lucius

accidentally summoned his name, but he just ignored it. By the time he realized it was a royal son who mentioned his name, the only thing he saw was when Lucija took my hand. 3

But he heard me swear to her that I would

never touch Stone’s pack. So even if I

wanted to crush them and force the

witch’s name out of their mouths, I knew Hades was watching and just waiting for me to make one more mistake. I could feel he didn’t like me at all, especially

after that close encounter with him when

Lucija’s mother was in my chambers.

more than two decades ago.

I always had to watch my back. I felt like a fucking dog being watched all the time, and I didn’t like it. But I didn’t have a

choice. I wanted to gain his favor even if I

hated him.

Despite being the being god of the underworld, Hades always had a soft spot for females, something I couldn’t understand. He was supposed to be the toughest of all the gods, but he was bowing down to females.

I pushed any thoughts of Hades aside for the moment as I made my way inside Patrea’s cottage. I reached the door to her bedroom and forced it open, breaking the

door from its hinges and making the witch jolt from her bed.

She was sleeping, and I just woke her up.

A crooked smile was plastered on my face. as my gaze wandered over the flawless

skin of her neck and shoulders while she

clutched her sheets tighter around her body.

“Oh, come on, Lucien! I’d been asking you for privacy for many decades now,

and up until now, you didn’t have the decency to knock.”

“I would have transported my body here if you hadn’t cast a spell in your cottage. Barging in is the next best option.”

“What do you want now?” Her eyes darkened, and I knew I had annoyed her

again like I’d been doing for the last three

decades.

Patrea caught my eye because she was beautiful. I thought I outsmarted her when I brought her here, but the witch. was cunning and cast a spell on herself so

I would not be able to fuck her.

Despite lusting after her, she was the only

female I couldn’t touch in this realm. If I

pushed myself on her, her body would

deteriorate and she would die –

something she would rather be than have

sex with me.

So I just watched her from a distance, and

from time to time I would give in and

touch her, but I couldn’t fuck her. Until I

finally gave up because it just led to more

frustration. She was the only female I

could never have. I could have killed her,

but I needed her alive rather than dead.

“Are you just going to stare there, or will you talk?” She rolled her eyes before she continued. “Can you leave my room and

let me dress up, I will meet you in the

kitchen.”

“I’ve seen everything in your body, Patrea. What’s the point of having privacy?”

“Oh, yes, I forgot.” She shoved her blanket off her body and got up from her bed. “You’ve seen everything.

Unfortunately for you, you can only look.”

My eyes swirled with desire at the sight of her in her simple nightgown. The way her hips curled on the satin nightgown

spiraled my lust. It wasn’t even skimpy or body-hugging.

She smiled mockingly at me before she held the hem of her nightgown and pulled it off her body, giving me a view of her perfect breasts and flat stomach.

I hissed in annoyance before turning my back on her and walking out of her room.

Three decades of just staring at her and having my hand touch her core were frustrating the hell out of me. I swear to the fucking Hades that once I didn’t need her anymore, I would fuck the life out of her and just let her die just so I could get

my fill of her.

‘Where is Lucija?’ I connected with Lucius

while I waited for Patrea to come down from her room.

‘Are you back in Kalmeurs?’ He asked

instead of answering.

‘Yes. Where is Lucija?’

‘Probably sleeping. I can check.’

‘And Stone?’

‘Still in the dungeons. Did you find the witch?’

‘No. The witch is no longer at the Mystic

Pack.’

‘Did you kill someone from Stone’s Pack?’

‘No. I couldn’t because my son messed up by mentioning Hades’ name, and now I feel like he’s watching me the moment I leave the realm.’

‘My bad, forgive me, Father. If you want,

send me. I’ll find the witch.’

‘No. I don’t trust you.’

‘Ouch! That hurt bad.’

‘You knew it. So fuck off and check Lucija.

Make sure she doesn’t communicate with

Stone until I can figure out how to unbind

them.’

‘Do you still want Stone dead? Just send him back to his realm, and prohibit Lucija from traveling outside the realm. Easy

peasy.’ 1

‘I’m sure I made you aware that Lucija is special and not someone you can tell

what to do. No matter what restriction I

place around her, she can always find a

way to go around it.’

‘Yup, I know it. Because you fucking let

me know about how useless I am

compared to her, every fucking day.”

‘Now, now, Lucius, don’t get dirty on me.

If you don’t want to follow my order and

just shut up, you can leave my tower and

be on your own. I won’t miss you.’ 2

‘I didn’t say I was defying you. I was just saying, I am the one loyal to you, and yet Lucija and Guillermo have always been

the ones getting favors.’

‘Then you need to prove yourself to get the favors they are getting.’

‘Lucija didn’t do anything at all!’ He snapped, and I knew he was already

pissed off not that it bothered me.

‘Lucija doesn’t need to do anything. She had already proven her worth simply by existing.’ I cut off the connection before

he could say more.

This argument between me and Lucius had been going on for years, ever since I
