BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 74

074 – We Are A Team, Right?

LUCY.

“I can. But can you?” His eyes bored deep into mine.

“What do you exactly want from me?” I asked, trying not to raise my voice.

Lucius appeared out of thin air, and I saw his jaw twitch when his gaze fell on Adan before anger flitted across his expression at my father’s following words.

“Rule this kingdom with me.”

Lucius obviously wanted this for himself.

“I don’t want your kingdom! I have a pack! I am the Luna of my pack, not of Kalmerus!”

“You belong in this realm, Lucija.”

“I never feel like I belong here, Lucien. Set me free.”

“No.” His eyes blazed red as his grip on the armrest tightened as the whip was used to hit Adan again.

“Stop hurting him!”

“Calm down! Or there will be more.”

“You’re not playing fair. I’m trying to calm down, but you’re still hitting him!”

“Who says Lucien plays fair?”

“Can you both calm down? And Father, stop hitting the fucking wolf! If he dies, Lucija will fucking perish as well!” Lucius ‘ hissed in annoyance.

“You’re underestimating the Alpha in front of you, Lucius. It takes more than a whip to kill him.”

“I hate you.” My lips quivered in anger,

but I was controlling my fire, and I was

getting good at it.

“Thank you. Hate and greed make me stronger. So shower me more.”

“Let Adan go.”

“I told you I can do that. But can you?”

“No. Whip me more if you want, but let Lucy and I go.” Adan shouted.

“I’m not talking to you, Stone. Again,

Lucija, can you let him go?”

My lips quivered because I knew the answer would be painful.

“I have options for you.” My father flashed me one of his wicked smiles, and I knew this was not good. “I can do this without your help, but since we will be working together for the good of

Kalmerus, I want to include you in all my plans moving forward.”

I held my breath as a hologram appeared in front of me, making me step backward

as my eyes grew wider before I was able to control my emotions.

Althea and Blade. He found her.

They looked like they were arguing as Blade threw his luggage inside his Jeep.

And then it was gone. My father closed the hologram.

“I found the witch. Her coven is

sheltering her and I can not get through on their territory at the moment but I will find a way soon.” He smiled at me as if he won already. “However, the man who looked important to her is leaving without any spell to protect him. I can

take him, trade with his life, and bring the witch here. She can unbind you. So what do you think, Lucija?”

“Leave them alone.”

“Why would I do that? She’s my only

guarantee to unbind you from that wolf.”

“I will let Alpha Stone go. No need to bring the witch here.”

I could hear growling from my back, and I

knew Adan was furious about my decision. But I was doing this to protect him and Althea. And now, Blade as well.

“You see, Lucija. Simply letting him go gives me no guarantee that you will not sneak out and return to him. Then it will

be the same cycle again. I will look for you, and the fool will follow you here. I need the bond broken.”

“No need to break it. No one has to die just because it needs to be broken. Spare Adan’s life and send him back to his pack! “I told him with conviction.

“No! Stop Lucy! Stop making a decision for me. I will still come back and hunt you!

Adan growled.

“Not if you don’t remember me anymore, “I answered in a firm voice.

“No! No! No! Fucking no! Don’t you fucking play with my head!” Adan

shouted, and I heard chains clattering, and I knew he must be trying to break free from them.

“Bring Patrea here, Father!” I was doing my best to ignore Adan.

“Tell me your…”

“Bring Patrea here, Father!” I repeated myself, not letting him finish his words.

“Tell me exactly your plans.” Of course, he was stubborn as hell.

‘Patrea can make him forget about me. He

can resume his life without me.’ I

answered him through our minds. I

didn’t want Adan to hear the rest of it.

‘And you?’

‘If he doesn’t bother me anymore, I will eventually move on and forget about him.’

‘Out of sight, out of mind…’ He scoffed. ‘ What’s my guarantee that you will not

come after him?’

‘My word, father.’

A spark of light ignited beside me, and soon, Patrea’s body appeared. She

probably wasn’t expecting to be

transported, and she would have

collapsed to the floor if Lucius hadn’t

been quick enough to catch her and help her get back on her feet.

It didn’t escape my notice how Lucius was
