BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 90

090 – Love Is A Myth

LUCIUS.

I got bored waiting while they were eating, so I began to taunt Adan. But I

couldn’t use fire since I wasn’t sure if

Lucien was watching his fiber, so I used other weapons instead.

Adan was surely improving, and he knew what he was doing. He was practically the exact counterpart of Lucija — he learned just as fast as her.

I needed him so he could fight off the rest of the demons while Lucija and I tackled our father. But from the way he

summoned fire as if he owned them and how strong they were, I was sure he could fight off Guillermo and maybe even Lucien.

I didn’t know he could be that strong

after such a short period. I wasn’t lying

when I said that hatred and the desire to

hurt the other party involved making a demon’s power stronger

but I wasn’t

expecting him to go all out just after a day of training him.

It took me decades to learn how to fire

multiple fireballs, but he was able to do it within 24 hours. In my defense, I was young then, and despite being a demon, I didn’t have any energy to let my anger out. I was just hoping to survive then and was going with the flow, so that might be the reason it took time for me to learn how to summon multiple fireballs.

But Stone- it’s either that he had hatred brewing inside him for so long or he hated me to a hilt and was just good at hiding it. Or he was really into Lucija, and the thought of anyone touching her made him angry and hateful.

For a moment I thought he was about to

transform into a demon by the way his

eyes blazed red and the black veins that began crawling on his skin.

Was it their mate bond that made him release that strong energy? Was that love? I’d heard of love, but I never gave a fuck about it.

Love is a myth. And people used it to get what they wanted: sex, money, family, and companionship. But in reality, it

never exists. It was just a word they used to make women give up their bodies for sex or for men to follow them around like lovesick puppies.

“Be grateful that Patrea saved you. Taunt me one more time about touching Lucy’s body, and you will not have a way out.” Adan was on my tail as I carried Patrea’s unconscious body inside the cottage.

The multiple shields she let out drained her energy. Another proof that Stone’s

fireballs were too strong.

“You know you can’t kill me with those fire. You just took me by surprise.” I told him as I continued walking.

“Yeah, tell that to Hades! Now explain about that thing you said about Lucija!” Stone was snapping at me, and if Patrea were not in my arms, I probably would have had his neck broken by now.

If he thought being an Alpha made him superior to me, he was a fucking idiot. If he were not the only reason that kept Lucija off the throne, I would never tolerate him at all, and I knew the feeling was mutual.

“You have to wait because if you’re

fucking blind, I have a witch in my arms that you knocked off with your power!” I snapped back at him.

“You could have just magically teleported your bodies to her room and it would

4/15

have been done, but of course, you didn’t. Because you’re a fucking pervert who wants to take advantage of her

unconscious body.”

“Fuck you.” I hissed at him as I doubled

my steps on the way up the stairs.

“No, thanks, I will have my own fuck tonight! Now hurry up! We need to talk!” He didn’t follow after me and instead slumped his body on the couch in the living room while I was still fuming mad at him.

“Can you both calm down? We’re all on the same team, so you can’t bite off each other’s heads all the time. It’s not helping. “I heard Kingston say that before I heard footsteps following me on the stairs and into Patrea’s room.

“What do you want now?” I asked him as I kicked the door to open it wider so I could come in.

“I will check on her so you can talk with

Alpha Stone.” He answered calmly.

“What do you need to check on her?”

“Just the basics. Make sure she’s just unconscious and not…”

“Stone said she’s alive and just needs to rest. So what are you checking more of?” I didn’t let him finish his words as I

snapped at him.

His eyes widened as he raised his palms. and stepped backward out of the door. “I thought I was helping so you could go down and talk with Adan while I made Patrea comfortable in her room.”

“I can do that. Now leave and babysit your fucking Alpha instead.”

Kingston saluted me before turning around without saying anything and

walking away with a deep sigh. I knew the

Gamma was trying to help, but I didn’t need any right now, and his Alpha was pissing me off.

I carefully placed Patrea in her bed and tucked her inside the blanket. I watched her chest rise and fall; it let me know she was just sleeping and might wake up anytime soon.

I should go and leave her alone, but this was my only time to look at her. I let my knuckles run along her cheek for a few seconds, marveling at the softness of her skin.

She’s beautiful. I couldn’t deny that.

I knew the first time I laid eyes on her that my lust had spiraled out of control. I knew I wanted a taste of her. But that was before. Now all I could think about was how her mouth twitched when she tried to suppress a smile and how I felt so
