BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 65
065 – Welcome Back Gift
ADAN STONE.
I had no idea how long I’d been sitting in this dark place. I’d seen some of the
prisoners being dragged out only to come. back with burned skin, making the whole cell smell of burning flesh.
If I wasn’t used to smelling dead bodies, including decaying ones, this smell would make me sick to my stomach, like the others here who were throwing up once in a while.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the wall. I wondered when my turn to be dragged out of here and be burned would happen. I was trying to make myself relax, but I couldn’t help.
I had to think of a way out. I didn’t want to regret my action, but this was turning out to be a hopeless case now.
“Water!” I snapped my eyes open and grunted a little loudly. I was annoyed now. My throat was fucking dry, and the heat from the ground, combined with sweat trickling down from every part of my body, was causing dehydration.
In seconds, something appeared in front of me, and a big bucket of water splashed right in my fucking face. Because it was
unexpected, it made me growl loudly. ” Mother fucker!”
My roar echoed around this big cell, and soon all attention was on me.
Regardless of how the water was given to me, it still tasted so fucking good and satisfying that I ended up slicking my own skin. This was better than nothing.
And I was not the only one thinking like that.
Soon, chains clattered as the prisoners from the other side of the wall tried to crawl their way to me. They wanted the water in my
body.
I watched as they attempted to reach me, but the chain was holding them back.
“Try yelling water, maybe they will give each one of you the same thing,” I told them, it was the least I could do for them.
“They don’t speak the human language.” One spoke from the corner, but I couldn’t see his face.
“What are you?” I asked.
“A dragon. And you?”
“Werewolf. And the others?”
“Tritons, faeries, orcs… I can’t see the others from here.”
Tritons were the male counterparts of the sea nymphs, while fae were the magical beings that sparkled when they let out their auras and powers. Orcs, on the other hand, were big creatures that only knew how to gurgle and growl. It was probably their
language.
“I want to fucking do what you did to get water, but if I do, these fuckers here will come and lick me up.” He chuckled.
It would be a funny sight, but I couldn’t see
the humor in it.
