BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 79

079 – Demon’s Mark

ADAN STONE.

My mind still couldn’t wrap up everything that was presented to me during lunch. I had attempted to walk out three times during the conversation, but all the time my father and grandfather were using respect to restrain me from walking away.

I had no idea what the fuck they were playing at by telling me I’d found my mate because I couldn’t remember her at all. And the worst thing, she was a part demon.

Who the fuck on earth would believe me if I told anyone – friends or comrades – that my soon-to-be Luna is the spawn of a demon straight from the pits of hell?

The fuck? I wanted to believe my family had totally lost their minds if my Beta

and Gamma were not included in their

games. I knew Collin and Kingston’s loyalty would always be on me so I just couldn’t disregard what they were telling.

Yes, at this point I trusted my Beta and Gamma, but this was so hard to believe, and for a moment, I had to verify it was not April 1 and that anytime they would all jump out and say “Happy Fucking April Fools Day!”

And my fucking wolf, who did not hesitate to communicate with my father’s wolf to tell them ‘everything’ he knew, including how I lost my memory.

So they got first dibs on the fact that I was whipped like a pig, rather than him explaining to me what the heck that was and how the fuck I got these scars on my

back.

Only when Momma told everyone that

this might be too much for me to take at

the moment and that I should think about.

it in silence was I allowed to leave the

dining room.

So here I was in the solitude of my office,

trying to think about all of the things I’d

heard. And just as I was about to

communicate with Beast, a knock came

on the door, and Collin stepped in. I could smell Kingston as well as their mates, but

I didn’t even look at them.

“I didn’t want any company at the moment or to hear words or anything about Lucy or my mate. So just please go. ” I said in a low voice while my elbow was prodded on my desk and my hand massaged my temples.

“I just thought you might have questions

about Lucy. Laira and Lena were with her

all the time, so if you have questions

about her, how she was, how she treats.

you, or how she feels about you, you can

ask them.”

“I just fucking told you…” I didn’t finish my words and let out a big sigh, and with my eyes still closed, I asked the question that had been bothering me. “Does she

like me?”

“She does, Alpha. She likes you a lot even before you both found out you were fated mates.” It was Laira who answered.

“How about love?”

I heard the females hold their breath as if

they didn’t want to answer.

I chuckled before I continued to speak. ” So she doesn’t. She likes me, like how everybody likes me because I’m the

Alpha. It looks like, between the two of

us, I was the only one smitten. Am I right?

“To be honest, Alpha, we never heard her say or admit that she loves you. She kept saying she doesn’t know what love is, but with the way she was around you, the way her face lit up when she saw you, and the way she got jealous when other females.

approached you, I am 100 percent sure

she’s in love with you. She just didn’t

have a word for it.” It was Lena this time.

I leaned back and placed my hands on the

back of my head as I tilted my head up to

look at the ceiling.

“And the fact you came back here alive

without her, and just based on what Beast told us, you can’t deny…” Collin just stopped talking, and my gaze shifted to him, waiting for him to continue, but in seconds, he was already in front of me, grabbing my jaw and tilting it to the side.

“The fuck, man!” I swatted his hand in

annoyance. I assumed my Beta had

forgotten I was still the Alpha here.

“She marked you.” Collin’s eyes were rounding in disbelief.

“It’s not a wolf’s mark.” Kingston was already beside him in seconds.

“Do you think it’s a demon mark?”

“I’m still fucking here! I can hear you! What mark? Give me a mirror!” I growled

in annoyance.

Lena came and handed me a table mirror she grabbed from one of the shelves, and just as I was about to check on it, the door burst open again.

“Show me your mark!” Grandpa

demanded as he walked toward me,

followed by my father. Both of them were carrying grim expressions on their faces

as if they’d been sentenced to death.

“The fuck! Can’t we keep a secret anymore?” I growled, my eyes dilating as I threw a deadly glare at my Beta and

Gamma.

“The last time you kept a secret from me, you were taken to the underworld.” Pops. snapped at me.

“What could you have done differently, Pops, if you were aware?”
