BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 25
025 Three L’s
BETA COLLIN.
Laira and I, together with the Gamma couple, Kingston and Lena, were sitting on the steps of the packhouse, waiting for our Alpha to come home. We had no idea what had happened between them, and Laira was worried that the Alpha might have blown up his anger with Lucy.
I had to remind Laira that no matter how pissed off or irritated Alpha Adan was, he would never lay a hand on a female. But my smart mate reminded me that she was not concerned about the physical abuse but more about the words that would come out of Alpha Adan’s mouth.
And I think she was right. Through the years, Adan had changed tremendously. Gone was the calm and peace-loving man I grew up with.
He grew more distant and more broody over the years. I guessed it came from the fact that he had no one to channel his energy through. I didn’t believe a man or his wolf could go feral without a mate, but I think Adan was a living example of that.
A part of me was hopeful that the Omega was his mate. I knew many would raise an eyebrow if an Alpha was mated to an Omega, but at this point, I just wanted
Adan to find his mate. And with his wolf being tamed down by this Omega, I would like to believe he could sense her as his mate now only if we could let her wolf out sooner so we could find out.
But if they were not fated mates, with a wolf, she could at least give him an heir.
And maybe they could make it work because it looked like she was the only female the Alpha could tolerate. Maybe not all the time, but it was just a day and I never saw Adan as disoriented as he was the whole day. This Omega surely stirred. something in him.
“They’re here,” Kingston stated as he stood up from sitting and helped his mate
My eyes darted to where he was looking as I stood up, taking Laira with me. I saw the Alpha untangle his arm around Lucy, and I couldn’t help but snicker. Laira elbowed my side as she hushed me to keep quiet.
I bit my bottom lip, suppressing a smile. from forming on my lips, but my heart was literally happy for Adan. I never saw him wrap anyone in his arms the same way he never cuddled a sleeping female in his lap as he did last night.
“Alpha,” Lena was the first one to greet, with a slight bow of her head before she shifted her gaze to Lucy, flashing her a wide smile.
“What the fuck are you all doing here?” Of course, he would greet us back in a grumpy manner.
“Trying to catch a shooting star. Perhaps it will grant our wish.” Kingston answered, but his face and tone were voids of any emotions.
Laira and Lena both restrained their giggles, but Lucy did not.
She giggled softly before she realized no one was giggling or laughing, which caused her to stop and straighten up her posture before she dropped her gaze to the ground.
