BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 50
050- Do You Fancy Her?
LUCY.
Althea and de had already left the dining area and gone to the seating room, leaving me and Adan
at the table. The Omegas were back inside the packhouse and had begun clearing up the dining table.
“I’ll take Althea to a guest room,” I told Adan as I stood up from my seat.
Adan pushed his chair back and stood up as well, and in just a few seconds, his arms were around me
as he pulled me closer to him. “Wait for Lena. She’sing with you.”
“You don’t trust I can be a good host?” I asked, but I already knew why he wanted
Lena with me.
His hand tucked the stray hairs behind my ear before he brushed his knuckles against
my cheek. “I don’t trust anyone when it
“But we need to trust Althea if we want her
help.”
“I know. But just let me be cautious. I never had supernaturals, aside from shifters, around me, and it is
making me uneasy that you can just slip away or be taken away without me knowing.”
I nodded my head as I hooked my arms around his neck, and a smile slowly made its way to my face.
“Are you scared to lose me, Alpha Stone?”
He put his hands on my waist and gave me a tight squeeze. “Why do you think I’m doing this?”
“I know you wanted me here because of the
awesome sex that I can give to you, but… I want to know. Do you fancy the witch?” I licked my lips,
trying to smile, but in reality,
I knew his answer would either make or
break me.
“Are you jealous of her?”
Of course, he would never answer that.
“Maybe, maybe not.” I unwrapped my arms from around his neck and pivoted my body
around to break free from his hold.
But before I could walk away, his hand coiled
around my wrist as he pulled me back, mming my chest against his. His hand went to grip my jaw
before he slowly leaned
forward.
“The only female I fancy is the one in my
arms right now.”
Heat coiled from my stomach while my heart
did a somersault in my chest with his words.
Adan’s lips were closing in on mine. I’d been wanting to kiss him all day, so I didn’t wait for him to
capture my lips but instead met him halfway.
Time stopped as our lips met for a searing kiss. My hands tangled through his hair as
he cupped the back of my head, holding me
in ce as our mouths and tongues fought
for dominance. I no longer needed to pretend to be a meek Omega, and Adan just
knew how to fuel the sensuality within me.
His hand moved down and slipped inside the
skirt of my dress, his fingers skimming over
the skin of my thigh. All the while, I could hear movement around us, and I knew these were the
Omegas, but I didn’t care the Alpha wanted me.
“Ahem…” Someone cleared their throat and
it broke the trance between us.
I pulled away from kissing Adan as the hand touching my thigh dropped to my side before it snaked
around my body, and we turned together in the direction of the sound.
“I’m sure you have all night to do that.
Althea wants to rest. We traveled by foot
from the mountain and drove directly here, so if you can control your fucking libidos for now and give
the annoying witch a room, it
will be greatly appreciated.” de looked so
annoyed.
And then something happened. His hair
stood up and was pulled from his head, and
he let out a loud growl before leaving the
dining room again.
I was sure Althea did that because he called
her annoying.
I was giggling as I turned to face Alpha Stone again. My hands reached for his shirt cor, as if fixing it,
even though it was perfectly fine. “I’ll attend to the witch now, whom I consider my friend, which you
don’t fancy…” I emphasized the words ‘friends’ and ‘don’t fancy’.
I was silently warning him, and I think he got it.
A smug grin tugged on his mouth before he curled a finger on my chin and tilted my
head up to meet his eyes. “My hands are already full with the little bunny in my arms.

“Good. I just want to make it clear.” I
brushed my palms against his chest as I smiled widely at him before turning my body around, and
walking to where de disappeared. “This little bunny is territorial, Alpha Stone. What’s mine is only
mine.”
He didn’t reply, but I heard footsteps behind me, and soon a hand sped with mine as we walked
towards the seating room where
Althea waited with de.
Lena and Kingston were already there, and all eyes went to us as we entered the room.
I smiled at them and was about to pull my hand away from Adan, but his hold on me tightened, so I just
let him hold me.
“Lena and I will take Althea to her room. I
assume you or Kingston will take care of de?” I asked Adan.
“No. I’m leaving.” de answered in a cold
voice.
I saw the way Althea rolled her eyes,s but I
saw a flit of sadness cross them before she dropped her gaze to her fingers as if there were something
interesting in there.
“Why?” I asked.
“My work here is done. Once Stone pays me, I’m out of here.”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“How about Althea?”
“What about her?”
“What about me?”
de and Althea asked at the same time.
“Well, I’m sure Althea will help protect me. But who will protect her? If it hell rises, I don’t think Alpha
Stone…”
“I can protect myself, Lucy.” Althea cut me
off.
“How much would it cost me to make you stay and guard Althea?” Dammit. I was
asking as if I had money to pay him. I only
had one thousand, five hundred dors inside my backpack.
“I don’t discuss my price in public. All my clients know how much they need to pay me. Besides, I had
other things to do. I’m not a bodyguard.”
I let out a sigh and pulled my hand away from Adan before taking Althea’s arm and dragging her out of
the room, but not before stating what was on my mind. “Fine. Have a nice trip, de. I’m sure there are
other warriors here willing to guard Althea 24/7, and it won’t cost me as much as you.”
Lena followed after us, and I swear, I heard another growle out of the room, and I couldn’t help but
giggle softly as I let go of
Althea’s arm.
“Oh, Lucy! Just let him go, he’s crowding me
sometimes.”
“Hmmm… I thought you like him?”
“Me? de? No! Maybe he likes me…
“Oh, really? Is there something you want to share?”
“He said he smells me as his mate,” she sighed.
My eyes darted to Lena, who was just walking beside us in silence and biting her lower lip as if she was
thinking.
“But he had a mate before. So I’m not sure if he was ying some kind of joke on me.
“Second chance mate. It’s very rare, but it does exist.” Lena stated.
“Witches don’t have fated mates. We choose
our partners.”
“And you don’t want to choose him?” I
asked.
“I’m only eighteen, Lucy. I had things to aplish. I don’t want to be distracted. Plus, he’s twelve
years older than me, and
I’m not sure I’m a mate material.”
“You’re stating all the things negative about mating with him. Don’t you see any positive things?” Lena
asked the moment we turned to the second-floor corridor. “Like how you
feel safer when he’s around. Like how
annoying he is, but still, he can make you smile andugh like no one. Like how you
will miss him when he walks out of this
packhouse and this territory knowing you might not see him again.”
Althea stopped in her tracks, and it made me
and Lena halt too, turning our bodies
around to look at her. Her eyes watered as she opened her mouth to speak, but she quickly closed it. It
took a while before she began walking.
“Never mind. I don’t need a distraction, it’s
better if he leaves.” She walked past us and stopped halfway. “Where is my room?”
I looked at Lena, and she pointed to the
room to Althea’s right.
“That one on your right,” I told her.
Althea turned her head back and smiled at me. “Thank you! You’re both wee toe inside so we
can chat for a while.”
She opened the door and stepped inside, leaving it open for us. But before I could step inside her
room, Lena held my forearm and made me stop from entering.
“Alpha Stone wants to know if you want
de to stay because you like him.”
“What? Your Alpha must be crazy. I want
de to stay for Althea, not for me.”
“That’s what I sense too, so I’m not sure
where this question came from. Unless he’s just being possessive of you.”
“Tell him I want Althea protected too. If we
want her to build a shield for his territory,
we need to make sure I am not putting her at risk. “If my father discovers that a witch is assisting me,
they may target her.”
Lena nodded her head before her eyes
flecked with white.
