BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 88

088 – Succubus

LUCY.

My mind and body were already tired, but I kept going.

Lucius brought me to a place I had never been before. It looked like a cave, but it wasn’t – it was just endless darkness, and the only source of light was the torches he placed in every corner surrounding us.

I’d been trying to shift into my succubus form, and it kept getting harder because Angel was fighting it. Every time I shifted into one, she was out of my head, and she wasn’t liking that. And with our location away from the tower, she was able to use her own strength against mine.

My wolf wanted to trust Lucius, but she didn’t want me to make the wrong

decision. She didn’t want me away from

her.

But I wanted to take the risk. I wanted to

see Adan, even in his dreams, or what they called ‘nightmares.’

“But without my wolf with me and just a demon soul, would I still go into heat?” I asked Lucius after finding out I would not be able to take Angel with me in my succubus form.

“You shouldn’t even be thinking about

that. Just in your succubus form, you will be in total lust.”

“Well, I am not right now.”

“You never fancy me, Lucija, It would never work. Wait until you see Stone, and you might end up overdoing it.”

I rolled my eyes at him and prepared to shift again. Every time I did it, my body

remained unconscious, as if I were sleeping, so I had to make sure I would be

in bed pretending to be asleep when I transformed to meet Adan, or someone would notice I was out of my body.

Angel snarled at me, but I pushed her back into the back of my mind, and this time it went smoothly. Soon, my soul was floating around the area. I was totally

desire,

naked, but Lucius could still see me. I was watching his eyes the whole time to see if I would see anything in them wants, or anything else. But there was nothing.

Maybe he didn’t see me as anything other than his sister, which was something I appreciated.

“I think you’re getting better with it. Try it on your bed later, when you’re alone.”

“But how do I get to him?”

“No other way but to use a portal. Only

Father can leave without using one.”

“Are you sure he can’t track me?”

“Not in that form. And then, once you’re out of the underworld, you can just teleport your soul wherever you want to be.”

“I can go to his pack? How would I know Lucien is not watching him at that time?”

“Stone is currently not in his territory. He said he was in Blade’s territory.”

My eyes widened at his words. “Blade? Wait how did you know all this? Are you communicating with Adan?”

“No. I just have to make sure he’s safe. So I’m watching him. Without him, I can’t kick you out of here.”

“Would that mean you’re protecting him

from entertaining females as

I

asked, my eyebrows hiking up.

“Yes, ma’am.” He winked at me, and I willed my soul to go back to my physical form.

In an instant, my body woke up, and Angel ignored me as she retreated to the back of my mind even after I greeted her. But I would deal with her later.

“So, how would I reach him when I don’t even know where he is?” I asked, and this time I couldn’t help the smile from gracing my lips at the excitement brewing in my chest.

“Leave it to me. I will meet you at the other end of the portal, and we can

transport together to where he is.”

“Will you stay there? While I do things to him?”

“Maybe, maybe not. But don’t be too

excited yet. We need to figure out first if you can mindlink while in succubus form.

“But I was able to talk to you earlier.”

“That’s talking. We need mind talking in case Father comes looking for you.”

“But if I’m in the human realm…”

“He will still be able to contact you.

Besides, your body will remain in the007

underworld. Now transform again and will yourself to be invisible. Then fly around or transport somewhere far from here. I will try to connect with you. If you don’t receive anything after a while, come back here.”

“Okay…” I walked back to where I was seated every time I would shift, but I

raised a palm to Lucius. “Give me a

moment to talk with my wolf.”

He just nodded his head and looked at me as I tried to connect with Angel.

‘Angel, are you mad at me? Please, you have to understand. I know you want to see Adan and Beast too, but we don’t have a choice at the moment.’

She purred before she explained her side. I’m not stopping you from seeing them even without me. I just don’t want you alone. What if something happens? I

won’t be able to help you.’

‘Lucius will help me.’

‘I know he said he would, but it’s still different when I’m with you.’

‘Don’t feel like I don’t need you or your

help. But this is my one shot to see Adan. We’re slowly deteriorating from their

absence. And this might be my only

chance. Just this one time. And I promise you, I will not use this form again unless necessary.’

‘Fine. But will you promise me to tell them I love them?’

‘I will try. I hope there’s a way to communicate with them.’

‘If there’s no other way, don’t worry about it. Just have fun. I’m sure Adan misses us too, he just didn’t know it.’

‘Thank you. I’m glad you’re here, Angel. Or I’d go crazy here.’

‘Me too…’

‘And I promise you, I won’t let them

touch you. They will have to kill me

before they can kill you.’

‘Thank you. I hope we can get out of here without Lucien punishing Adan and his pack if we run away.

‘I know. That’s why we have to trust Lucius, even if it’s hard to trust anyone. He’s our only choice right now.’

Angel didn’t reply more, and it was my signal to prepare for my shifting into my succubus form. I nodded my head at Lucius as I sat down on the ground. In seconds, my body felt lighter as I floated around my sleeping form, and without any more words to my brother, I vanished into his sight as I transported my body to the hot spring I always ran to when I was younger.

This should be enough. It was too far from the place where I left my body.

‘Lucija?’ Lucius’ voice rang in my head.

‘Oh, Goddess, I thought I needed to go back there already. I can hear you.’ I told him excitedly.

‘Good. Now try to contact Father.’

‘What? No way!’ Lucien was the last one I

wanted to communicate with.

‘Just try. I want to know if he will feel anything. If he can sense your form.’

‘Okay.’

I let out a deep sigh before connecting my mind to my father. ‘Father?’

“Stop trying to enchant me with your

words. It’s not working.”

“Too bad. I should hire someone to teach

me how to woo females.” I chuckled,

enjoying the annoyance on her face.

“Stop doing that and help me out here.”

“What the… I don’t even know what

you’re doing.”

“Try this, tell me how it tastes.” She

raised a spoon, and it was almost touching my lips. Was she feeding me? “I don’t eat food, unless for a show.”

“But I’m sure you can tell me what it tastes like. Now open your mouth.”

And I did open it like a fucking puppet. I swallowed the warm soup that she put into my mouth, but I had no idea how it tasted. Food never tasted like anything to us. We could imagine how we wanted it to taste.

She lived in the underworld for far too long, she should know that by now. But why the fuck was she asking me this?

“So?” She asked, and I had no idea what

to tell her.

“Do you want the truth?”

“Yes.”

“1

“I can’t taste food. I can choose if I want it to taste good or bad.”

“I know.” She chuckled before turning around and picking up the ladle to stir whatever soup or liquid was in the pot. “I just missed acting normal. And I can’t do that with the Alpha and his Gamma because they’re mated.”

Her words made me smile, but I didn’t say anything.

“I know I’m weird.” She said, breaking the silence between us.

“Yes, you are.” My kind of weird.

“I think anyone will end up being weird if

they get stuck in the underworld for a long time. I just want normality,

although I know I’m not normal.” She let

out a deep sigh. “So I’m not sure if I’m ready to go back there.”

“Are you backing out on the plan?” I asked. I felt my anger rising, but I tried my best to control it. “Answer me.

“I want to trust you. I swear to the spirits, I do. But I can feel that you’re hiding something. You laid out the plans, but I know there’s something more you’re not telling.”

“I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.” I tried to act nonchalantly, but in reality, she got me. I didn’t tell them the whole plan for the same reason I withheld information from Lucija.

I doubted Stone would agree if he found out my final weapon was Lucija. I was

sure he would stop me from using her. But what choice do I have? She was the only one capable of killing our father.

“Tell me everything, and I will help you. Or I can just walk away now.”

“You’re not going to abandon Lucija.” I challenged her.

“Watch me do it.

“I’ll tell you everything, but you have to agree to sell your soul to me so I can take you to the underworld.”

“I don’t trust you, Lucius.”

“I don’t trust anyone either. But I’m willing to trust you and tell you everything I know and my whole plan but I just wanted the same courtesy. Trust me with your soul, and I promise you I will bring you back here after all of this.”

“But if you die…”

“I won’t die. I will do everything to stay alive just to keep my promise to you that I will bring you back to this realm in one piece.”
