BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 89

089 – Balls of Fire

ADAN STONE.

I barely slept last night, but it was way past midnight when we all went to bed. I

was sharing a room with Kingston, and we spent the whole time just talking and discussing things that he was supposed to do if I were successful in entering the demon realm.

I knew selling my soul to Lucius would be the easiest way in a big risk to take if he died but I needed more than the assurance that I would be able to come out alive. I wanted a guarantee that I could leave the realm anytime I wanted with Lucija beside me. Both of us – alive.

The best option was Hades.

With Lucija being a demon princess and me being mated to her, I had a high

chance that Hades would come if I summoned him, according to Patrea.

I didn’t know such things existed for supernatural beings, because I had no idea if we could summon Selene

whenever we wanted. But perhaps this was only possible for special werewolves or lycans. And I was not one of those.

But I would try Hades. The only problem was – I didn’t have anything to offer in exchange. But I was hoping he would listen to me.

I eventually drifted off to sleep, but it felt like just a nap because as soon as the first ray of sun hit my face, I awoke and prepared for the day. Lucius would be back any time, and I didn’t want to waste time perfecting the new skills I was given.

I didn’t know my ‘meek’ Omega was so powerful that the Alpha in me would be needing her power in times like this. But I

wasn’t complaining, nor did I feel inferior. I wanted my little demon.

Lucy could be the Goddess of all goddesses or the lowest form of being, and I would still want her. And I would still do everything to have her back beside

1.

My eyebrows arched up as Kingston and I entered the small kitchen in this cottage. Lucius’ arm was wrapped around Patrea’s waist as they stared into each other’s eyes. If I were right, I heard

Lucius say he would not die and would make sure he would bring her back to this realm alive. He was assuring her.

But more than that, their position was weird. I didn’t know there was something between them. It only explained why the demon prince was overly protective of her.

What an odd pair. But who was I to judge?

I raised my hands in the air as their heads turned to us, and Patrea immediately

withdrew her body away from him. I flashed them a smug smirk before pulling a chair to sit at the table. “I want to say I’m sorry that I interrupted you guys, but I won’t. I’m hungry, and Patrea promised to make breakfast today, so I’m looking forward to it.”

“No harm done. I was actually here to talk with you,” Lucius replied as he sat in the chair in front of me.

“It doesn’t look like you were looking for me. Unless Patrea was also practicing illusions and pretending to be me. Either way, I don’t think you fancy holding me that way.”

Kingston snickered as he helped Patrea with putting food on the table while the witch remained quiet, but I saw her cheeks turning scarlet red. I had to

apologize later. I just wanted to tease Lucius but didn’t want to disrespect her. She just happened to be pulled along.

“Fuck off.” Lucius sneered at me.

“I will. As soon as I get my Luna back. So what do you have for me? How’s Lucy?”

“She’s doing okay. Getting stronger every day. And she will visit you tonight, she learned way too fast how to summon her succubus form..”

I inhaled deeply as I leaned my back on the chair, and the hair on my skin rose. Lucius told me about Lucy’s ability to have sexual acts in her succubus form,

but the confirmation that it would

happen suddenly gave me cold feet.

I wanted to fucking see her and touch her, but I was not in agreement that I had to pretend that I still couldn’t remember her.

“I know you want to tell her that you remember her, but it will just foil our plans if she finds out. Either she will be devastated that you remembered and are not doing anything, or she will be scared you will do something to take her out there. Lucy is protective of you.”

“But how the fuck do you think I can pretend when I see her?”

“She’ll come in your dreams. So you can’t control how you will react there, right?” Kingston butted in.

“Don’t sleep then.”

“Lucy is not stupid. She will know I’m awake.”

“Lucy has no experience slipping into someone’s sleeping mind. And she knew ordinary humans wouldn’t be able to see her succubus form unless they are asleep. But I’m assuming you will be able to see

her even when you’re awake. So she wouldn’t doubt that you’re not sleeping.”

“And if not?”

“I’ll be watching, and I’ll knock you out, so you need to tell me right away if you see her or not the moment I tell you she’s there.”

“But you’re not staying to fucking watch us!”

“Relax. I never planned to do that.”

“Just making it clear.”

“She’ll be in her demon form, so make

sure you don’t fucking run away wagging your tail,” Lucius added.

“We’ve done it in her demon form, so save your advice…” I was not able to finish my words as Kingston began coughing beside me, and I couldn’t help

but chuckle. It must be weird for him to

hear these things.

I shook my head as my eyes darted back to Lucius, who had magically made a cigarette appear in his hand and lit it with his finger.

As soon as the small flame appeared, I immediately shut it off with a flick of my fingers, and the flame died.

Lucius hissed and glared at me and lit it up again, but Patrea was fast and grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth and

disposed of it. “If you want to smoke, do it outside.”

I snickered and started eating when I felt something on my arm, only to be surprised by the spikes poking through it.

The fuck!

I growled and wiped the spikes away with my hand before I set Lucius’ shirt on fire, much to Kingston’s surprise, that the

table almost flipped over when he moved

his chair back. Patrea jumped out of her

seat and shrieked before Lucius threw

spikes my way, which I dodged, sending them to the wall behind me.

My nose flared as I launched on him, and as soon as my body grabbed him, I transported us, and we ended up in the clearing outside.

The fucker was giving me a devil’s laugh as he threw my body off him, and I landed on the ground with a loud thud. I saw Patrea and Kingston on my peripherals, rushing out of the cottage.

I growled loudly as I rose to my feet, wanting to let Beast out, but I knew Lucius wanted to test my ability to fight with the demon skills I learned. I attacked him head-on, and the fucker disappeared in thin air, and the next thing I saw was a boulder heading my way.

I let my body float in the air and dodge the boulder at the same time as a big bubble-like wall enveloped the whole clearing. Patrea was chanting a spell before she faced us and yelled. “Next time, tell me if you want to begin, or soon your spikes and fire will be all over the territory!”

I threw another ball of fire to Lucius, which he just stopped with his finger before he threw it at the barrier Patrea made, and it just shattered. “Make a big and stronger one.” He sounded bored.

“How the fuck do I do that?” My chest heaved as I looked at him. He was

standing 30 meters away from me.

“Willed it to be stronger! The more intense your hatred for the person you’re aiming it at, the stronger it will be!”

“I don’t fucking hate you as much as I hated your father!” I told him as I threw

another ball of fire, and he shattered it like it was nothing.

“Until you find out that I need to fuck

Lucija on her cleansing! And I’m the one assigned to kill her wolf!”

Beast went into a rage in my head as a loud rumble formed in my chest. I couldn’t think straight as my eyes heated up.

“Holy fucker!” Kingston yelled, and I had no idea what he was seeing.

“That’s it, boy. Aim to kill the demon that will feast on your mate’s…”

I didn’t let him finish with his words as big balls of fire formed around me and began shooting his way.

Lucius’ eyes widened, and I immediately regretted my action. But no matter how I tried to take it back, I couldn’t.

“Dodge!” I yelled at him, but the fucker wasn’t moving. He was trying to stop them, but they were moving too fast and seemed unfazed by him.

The next thing I saw was a waterlike barrier appearing in front of Lucius at the same time the balls of fire hit the same

wall. The wall was not able to hold the fire I let out, but it softened the blow. Lucius was knocked out as the fire shattered into small pieces and went around us, but Patrea was fast and enveloped herself, Kingston, and me in small bubbles, protecting us from the ball of fire I created until Lucius was able to get up on his feet and knock out the remaining balls of fire with his own power.

Only then did the bubbles protecting us shut down as Patrea’s body collapsed on the ground.

“Fuck!” Lucius swore, and I thought I

heard him growl as he rushed to where

Patrea was.

Kingston, on the other hand, went up to

me and checked on me, but I just nodded

my head at him and rushed to where the

witch was.

Lucius looked like he would faint as she held Patrea’s upper body, but he surely had no idea what to do.

I crouched beside them and checked her

pulse. “She’s alive. Maybe she used too much energy to shield us.”

“Are you sure?” He asked.

“Yes, she’s breathing.

“That was a fucking strong ball of fire!” He stated in a low voice, and I had no idea if he was insulting me or if he was commending me.

“Be grateful that Patrea saved you. Taunt

me one more time about touching Lucy’s body, and you will not have a way out.”

“You know you can’t kill me with those fire. You just took me by surprise.” He answered in a cold tone as he lifted

Patrea’s body off the ground and began walking toward the cottage.

“Yeah, tell that to Hades! Now explain about that thing you told me!” I snapped at him as I followed him.
