BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 77

077 – Where is Lucy?

ADAN STONE.

I grunted loudly as I snapped my eyes open. Why the fuck did I forget to draw the curtains closed? The fucking sun was

disrupting my sleep!

Oh, fuck! The sun was up! I needed to get up. Sometimes I forget I am an Alpha and I have a whole pack to run. This is what happens when your day consists of the same thing over and over again, like a fucking routine, and you are just waiting for your life to end.

I had a pounding headache, but this was strange. I had drunk too much previously but never had this kind of headache, but I might have overdone it last night. But fuck this! It felt like someone slapped a massive boulder on my head.

I rolled over in bed only to realize it wasn’t my bed. This was a guest room.

Why am I here?

Shit! I probably brought home a female. I usually never bring anyone home, but if I did, we would end up in one of the guest rooms and not in my room. At least I still had some sense last night when I didn’t use my own bed. But I couldn’t remember a single thing.

I saw a folded pair of sweatpants and a t- shirt on the chair beside the bed, and I got up and walked lazily toward it. In no time, I was fully clothed. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I looked

like I hadn’t had a decent sleep in days,

but then again. I had drunk too much last

night.

My back felt a bit odd, but I was used to

the pain. My fucking wolf never helped Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

heal me or anything, but despite him not

helping me, I could still heal fast. I just had to bear the pain alone.

I walked out of the guest room and headed downstairs. I could hear voices. somewhere in the packhouse but I didn’t give a shit and went directly to my office. My stomach was rumbling, but for some reason, I had no appetite to eat.

“Wow!” I exclaimed once I stepped inside. the office. It was spotless and clean, which was usually the case whenever I would go on an expedition and be out for a few days. But then Laira and Lena might have been bored and cleaned up everything before they went to bed.

The Omegas would usually clean off the dust and the trash bins, but they were not allowed to touch or throw anything inside my office. Only Laira and Lena got to decide if I needed anything moved, replaced, or thrown.

I was just about to sit down on my chair

when my wolf decided he wanted to speak

with me.

‘You can’t remember anything?’

‘Wow! Is this a sign that today will be an incredible day? because the mighty beast

graced me with his presence!’ I mocked

him.

He didn’t answer, but he threw in lewd images in my head of me fucking a female with long, black hair who had a perfect round ass that I kept slapping

while I fucked her from behind.

My dick went hard in an instant.

‘Was this the female I fucked last night?’

My mouth watered as I licked my lips, my hand rubbing my chin as I let the images run through my head. ‘Why the fuck can’t I remember anything?’

The next image was of the same female, but her hair was fiery red this time. I knew it was her. I could only see her back,

but I don’t think I would be able to forget

how her body looked.

She moaned sexily, and I suddenly had

the need to jerk off, but I restrained

myself because I was fucking confused as to why I couldn’t remember last night. How could I forget if this female was this fucking amazing? I couldn’t remember her at all, but it seemed like I knew how

my dick felt inside her.

And then she slowly turned her head to look at me and gave me a seductive smile, and the whole world stopped.

“Mine!” I growled loudly as I gritted my teeth while holding my armrest tightly.

In seconds, the door flung open, my Beta and Gamma rushed forward, and Beast withdrew the images from my head,

making the rumble in my chest grow

louder.

“Fucking knock next time! I might be fucking someone in here!” I snapped at them, and I saw them exchange looks.

“Where is Lucy?” Collin asked.

“Who the fuck is Lucy?”

I swallowed as I remembered the face of

the female I was fucking in Beast’s memory. “Long black hair, dark brown eyes, porcelain skin… but she also had red hair, maybe she colored it. Is that Lucy?”

Damn it! Did I see her with black hair and

then with red hair? Did it mean I fucked

her on two occasions?

“The fuck, Adan! Why do you need to describe her? Where is she?” Kingston

exclaimed.

“You answer me! I awoke to find her not

in bed with me. Go ask if anyone saw her going out the house or better yet, check the fucking borders for any reports of her. “I had no idea why the fuck I just gave

out that order.

Confusion was written on both their

faces, and I was totally losing it. But why were they looking for her? Did they fancy

her?

“Are you okay?” Kingston asked.

“No! I’m fucking hungry!” I stood up, not minding that my fucking erection was

still tenting in my pants.

I walked past them and opened the door,

only to find my father standing behind it. “Dad? Why are you home?”

“I think Alpha Stone is having some memory loss,” Collin spoke behind me,

and it made me turn around and scowl at

him.

“What did you fucking say?”

“Omega Feast? “Do you remember it?”

“How many times do I have to tell you I had no plan of attending the Feast? Not now. Not fucking ever!” I snapped at him and walked out of my office.

I heard them talking behind me, but I tuned out their voices as I stopped in front of a hallway mirror. My hands reached for the hem of my t-shirt as I pulled it off my head to check my back.

Something felt odd in there like it had been hit by something.

I turned my body slightly, just enough for me to see my back, and I couldn’t help the growl that escaped my throat.

“Motherfucker!” My back was full of

scars that looked fresh, and it seemed

they wouldn’t fade anytime soon. They

were too many and looked like I’d been whipped. “What the fuck happened here?

I heard footsteps approaching from two opposite directions, but my eyes fell on my mother and my grandmother, who had worried expressions on their faces. I

knew my mother was here because I saw Dad, but my grandmother?

“Momma! What are you doing here?”

“Show me your back!” She ignored my

question and pushed my body around so my back would end up facing her, making me face my father and my men who came

out of the office.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked them while I felt Momma’s fingers running along the skin of my back.

“It’s healing, but the scars are not fading

“Momma stated.

I tilted my head to look at her and asked, How did I get those scars?”

“You can’t remember anything, son?” Pops’ voice erupted in the air, and my head snapped up in his direction.

Why was my whole family home? They were supposed to be with Alexa right

now.

“Do you know where you’ve been these past few days?” Pops’ continued to ask.

I tried to run my memory, but I saw my usual routine. I didn’t go anywhere lately.

“He can’t remember that we went to the

Omega Feast,” Collin stated when I didn’t

answer my grandfather.

“We went to the feast?” I asked, confused as to what he was saying.

“Do you think they wipe out his memory of Lucy?” Mom asked while her eyes were

fixated on me.

“Lucy…” I kept hearing that name. “Who is she?”

“Can you tell Beast to link with my wolf?

And let’s discuss this over lunch.” Father

tapped my shoulder as he motioned with

his hand, telling me to head to the dining room, while I heard Pops tell Collin to send every Omega out of the pack house so we could all talk in private.

I felt like I was just being pushed like a

puppet.

If this were an ordinary day, I would have snapped at everyone and walked away, but a part of me didn’t want to. I wanted to know who the hell Lucy was, and if she was the female that Beast had shown me.

♡♡♡

LUCIUS.

Lucija shut off her mind, and I didn’t want to just appear in her chamber at the moment. I was sure she would appreciate being left alone, and the last thing I wanted was to anger her, especially now that Stone was not around.

Plus, I didn’t want my father to suspect I was on her side. So I headed for his personal suite instead, where he allowed me to appear any time of the day.

I transported my body, and I ended up just beside him. He immediately closed the hologram he was looking at, and from the looks of it, it was inside the Mystic

Pack packhouse.

“What was that?” I asked.

“Nothing. I was just checking on Stone.”

“And?”

“He can’t remember her.”

“That’s a good thing,” I told him nonchalantly before I grabbed a cigarette from his desk. I was about to flick a flame

on it, but my father beat me into doing

that.

“But everyone around him keeps mentioning Lucija or Lucy.” He said.

“Well, you don’t have a witch to cast a spell on the whole pack now. Besides, even if they keep telling him about it, it will just go to waste if he can’t remember

her.”

“Unless the witch shows up there and

undoes her spell.”

“Can she do that?”

“Patrea can do many things.”

“I’m sure she knows you’re watching, and she won’t be stupid to risk her life.”

“Patrea had no regard for her life. I

meant it when I told her I was the only

one keeping her alive in this realm. But maybe it’s time to end her.”

“What do you mean?”

“I have no use for her. She’s more of a

liability now.”

I wanted to tell him to forget about her and just move on, but my father was not stupid. He might realize I was trying to

protect the witch.

“So what’s your plan.”

“It’s none of your business.”

“Come on, Lucien! We didn’t get this far just for you to withhold information.”

“We? I got this far without your help.”

“If I remember it right, I was the one who religiously stood beside the fiber

watching it while you fucked females, and

I was the one who caught Lucija.

Everything started rolling because of me.”

“Then it means your job here is done.”

“Fuck that!”

“I know you want the throne, Lucius. But it will never be yours.”

“Yeah, I just realized that, as you said earlier, you wanted her to rule this

kingdom with you, but Lucy doesn’t want

it.”

“With Stone still alive, it will be easy to manipulate my little girl. I had no idea I’d be thanking her for being foolish enough

to fall in love.”

“Lucy can stay here even if she’s not the Queen of Kalmerus. Why do you want her

to rule here? You have hundreds of sons,

and yet you’re passing your throne to a she-demon? You’re insulting us, father. What would Guillermo think?”

“I don’t give a fuck. He’s still out there looking for a queen to take home. I wondered how many females he had

marked and how many had died already.”

“You’re ruthless.” I chuckled.

“What do you expect? After all, I am the Prince of Darkness.”

I shrugged my shoulders and acted as if anything he said didn’t hit me as I puffed my cigarette.

“Just accept that you will just be my right hand but never my heir. If you can’t take that, then go.”

“And where will I go if I leave? I’m

enjoying the comfort and the privilege of being your son, so I’ll stick around for a

while, maybe a century or two.” I flashed him a devilish smirk, but I wanted to

crush him in my hands.

If I only knew a way to destroy him.

Lucija. Destroy Lucija and Lucien would die, and my problem would be solved.

I knew the answer for almost a decade

now, and yet I kept a blind eye. There must be some other way without having

to kill her.

“I want to rest now. Check on Lucija, make sure she doesn’t do anything

stupid. Tell her I’m watching Stone and his every movement.”

“Yup. Got it.” I answered in a bored tone

before I disappeared from his room and

appeared in mine.

I should go and warn Lucija, but I was

sure she knew nothing of how to get out of Kalmerus or the right portal to use to get to Adan’s territory. Warning her was

not important at the moment, but I knew

someone who needed an immediate

warning.

Patrea. I needed her away from Adan’s.

territory until my father would slack off

and not check on the Mystic Pack territory anymore. Or he might keep his word and end Patrea’s life once she

reconnects with Stone.

I counted to ten before transferring my body outside a portal that would bring me directly to where Patrea was. The black coin was not just a communication coin. it was a portal that I linked to whoever

was carrying it. As long as she had it with her, I would be able to reach her directly using this portal in front of me.

Author’s Note

Lovelies,

I apologize for informing you so late.

Unfortunately, the flu made a U-turn and

hit our home again, much worse than in

the last few weeks since my 5-year-old

also got it this time. And I feel worse

today than last time.

With Christmas approaching, the last

thing I want is for the whole family to

still be sick with the flu when we are all

looking forward to it, so I decided to take a break until Saturday or Sunday – away

from my computer, away from the

pressure of having to load chapters per

day.

I will let you know by then if I have a chapter or need more time. But I assure you, I will not be abandoning this story (I never abandoned my books). I hope you’ll wait for me. I just need time off for my health and sanity. Please be kind. Thank you for your understanding.

HAVE A LOVELY HOLIDAY, LOVELIES! ♡♡
