BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 61

061 – Merciless and Ruthless

ADAN STONE.

I knew what I was getting into when I told Lucien I would go to the underworld. It could lead to my demise, but I feared nothing except not knowing when I would see Lucy again. Lucy might have thought this was a stupid thing to do, but I wasn’t taking my chances on her, especially now that I knew she was my fated mate.

Everything was starting to make sense now. Two years ago, Lucy turned eighteen, and I was assuming it was at the point when Beast began acting strange and refused any female, insisting we look for our mate. He felt her.

Now that we have her, we’re not letting her out of our sight. I meant it when I told Lucy I would go to the depths of hell for her. And that is actually where I am now.

In the blink of an eye, my body was sucked into limbo, and when it stopped, I was fully naked in a hot place, like a sauna. I should be able to tolerate it, but there was something on fire around me that was burning me from

the inside.

But I refused to let the demons around me

see my discomfort.

I was completely naked, sweat dripping from my brow as they pushed me to start walking. I’d seen dungeons

horrible ones

– but they were nothing compared to the dark place I was in right now.

I was walking on the warm ground, and nothing looked filthy or dirty, but it was foggy, and the thing that was giving me goosebumps was the smell of burnt flesh. I couldn’t smell anything else except that.

And did I say the men around me had horns and tails, with scaling dark skin? Fucking horrible-looking creatures and I wondered if

And did I say the men around me had horns and tails, with scaling dark skin? Fucking horrible-looking creatures and I wondered if

Lucy had this kind of form too. But with her, I was imagining Mystique of the X-men.

Fuck! I was getting a hard dick just thinking about Lucy in that form. I should have

thought of my survival and that I might end up dead soon, but instead, all I could think of were the many ways I wanted to fuck her

in her demon form.

“Hic!” [Here!] One of the men behind me pushed me to one corner.

“What?!”

“Dixi hic habitas.” [Stay here!]

“I don’t speak your language,” I replied to him as I kept swallowing. I wondered if they had water here.

Two of them shackled my wrists with a chain attached to the wall behind me that was just long enough to allow me to sit on the floor. I was just about to wander my eyes around the area when something hit my back.

1

“Aah! Mother fucker!” I roared more out of

surprise than of pain.

The fuckers around me laughed, their tails wriggling around and irritating the fuck out of me. Something whipped me from my

back, and it was not just a regular whip there were thorns on it, but for some reason,

it didn’t hurt me.

‘Buddy, are you here?’ I tried to connect with my beast.

‘Here. But the strong aura surrounding this place is making me weak.’

‘Did you take the pain from the whip?’

‘No. Why would I do that? I haven’t forgiven you enough to sacrifice myself.’ Same old Beast. He would still make it sound like I’m

weaker without him.4

‘I didn’t expect you to, but it didn’t hurt me at all, so I wonder. Rest, don’t use your energy unless we need to.’

‘I know. But I’m not sure I can shift in this

place.’

‘We will find out soon, I’ll take charge for now.’ I just ended my conversation with him when another whip hit my back, making my body jolt. I was gritting my teeth as sweat dripped all over my body.

They were still having fun mocking me until their bodies froze on their spots and they began talking in their fucking language again.

I heard something drop to the ground before all of them walked away from me, leaving

me on my own.

It was only then that I noticed that on the other side of the wall, probably twenty to twenty-five meters away, there were other prisoners attached to a shackle, but they

were attached so close to the wall, and I was all alone on this side of the wall.

I could only see silhouettes of them, and

some of them didn’t look like humans in

form. We might all have come from different species.

I needed to get away from here. I didn’t

volunteer to come here just to be held back by these chains.

‘Lucy…’ I tried to mindlink her, but there

was nothing.

Where is she?

I tugged on my hand, checking how strong the chain was. It was indeed strong, and there was no way I would be able to break it. My only way out was for them to unchain

I was seated with my back against the wall, my knees bent, and my arms resting on them. I was fucking thirsty already, and I had no idea how long I had been sitting here until I heard footsteps approaching. The prisoners on the other side began to press their bodies against the walls behind them.

Were they sinking in out of fear?

I could feel a strong aura approaching, but for some reason, it didn’t rattle me. Maybe I was used to being surrounded by strong

auras, and I knew I could give one out as

well.

And then her smell hit me.

I couldn’t stop the goofy smile from tugging at my mouth. Despite my ordeal, her scent was enough to calm me and strengthen Beast. He woke up from his slumber and gawked at the corner, where we expected her to appear.

And there she was, walking like the goddess that she was in her white, floor-length Roman dress. Her skirt rustled, dusting off the ground with every sway of her hips. Her hair was a striking red and light black with faint veins, like the tattoos on her arms and everywhere on her skin.

But the veins disappeared the moment our

eyes locked. Did she ever think that it would make her less attractive in my eyes?

Because, in reality, everything about her was beautiful in my eyes. I was thankful I was in this sitting position because her scent and the way she looked right now just made my dick fucking hard, as if I was not in danger and as if my life was not on the line.

There were two females behind her. They were also beautiful, but nothing compared to my mate. She stopped in the middle of the two walls, and it didn’t slip my eyes the way the rest of the prisoners were gawking at her, some of them were even growling in

It made me tug at my chains, and a growl reverberated from my chest. I knew I should stay calm, but I couldn’t.

She jerked her head at me, but her face was expressionless until she shifted her gaze and looked around.

“[Where is the man in charge here?]” She was speaking in a language I couldn’t understand, but it was alluring to see a different side of Lucy.

I always knew she was never meant to be a meek Omega, and the air of arrogance in her stand and the way she spoke just added to her allure. 1

Soon, footsteps were heard, and the men

who had hit me earlier came with the rest of

the guards that took me here.

Lucy was still ignoring me, but I was

enjoying watching her.

“[Who whipped him?]” Her words were full of authority.

“[My lady, we took turns whipping all the prisoners here.]” The demon who whipped me answered her. 1

Lucy let out a low snarl before her eyes blazed red. “[Who whipped the Alpha

werewolf?]”

I still couldn’t understand a fucking word, but I was sure Lucy was furious. The same demon moved his hand, but before he could finally raise it up, Lucy gripped his jaw, Her thin claws slowly erupted from her nails, just long enough to dig into the demon’s skin.

“[Who told you you’re allowed to touch him? ]” Lucy’s tone was sharp.

“[All prisoners brought here, my lady, have the same punishment of lashes and burning.

“[I don’t give a fuck! Alpha Stone is mine to play with!]” Her grip on his jaw tightened, causing his cheeks to hollow before his skin dried up while his eyes turned full black, and then, he was gone. Lucy let go of him, shoving his lifeless body away. “[That’s a warning for every one of you! Touch Stone and I will suck the life out of you!]”

Wow! That was something. If I was cold-

hearted, Lucy was merciless and ruthless. I

swallowed as I watched the rest of the males bow their heads at Lucy before they dragged the dead demon away.

And just when I thought Lucy was ready to face me, another set of footsteps was heard.

“What have you done, Lucija?” Lucien’s voice echoed, and a rumble rose from my chest. He spoke in my language, and I

assumed he wanted me to understand their

conversations.

“You can always give him his life back. I just didn’t like that he gave me pain.”

“He had no idea. He was doing what he was supposed to do.”

“I don’t care. When did we learn to accept reasons to adjust the punishment?”

“You can’t just kill off my demons!”

“Then let Stone go.” Lucy was totally

different from the one I knew. If I thought she was scared of Lucien, I guess I

underestimated her. Or perhaps, letting her fire and wolf out gave her the confidence to defy him.

“No!” Lucien roared back, making the prisoners on the other side flinch from their positions.

“Then I’ll keep killing anyone that touches him.” Lucy moved and stood in front of me. She was just inches away, and her long, flowing dress was covering me from his father’s line of sight.

They were still conversing, but I didn’t stop myself from reaching her. I slipped my hand inside her dress, my fingers skimming over her ankle, and the sparks danced around

me, igniting everything in my body. I felt me, igniting everything Lucy flinch, but she didn’t stop speaking

with her father while Beast growled in my head – enjoying the connection we had with Lucy at the moment.
