BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 40

040 – She’s Mine

LUCY.

The next four days went without a problem. Although Alpha Aurelius had not yet warmed up to me, he was at least civil and had not dropped any more questions or statements. about my stepfather, which I was grateful for.

As for Alpha Stone or Adan, he was just perfect as he was.

He would throw tantrums once in a while and punish me for him. I had no idea if he was aware I was defying him on purpose so I could get punished. But at the end of each night, we would still end up in each other’s arms, and it felt like there was a bond pulling us closer – something I always wanted from my mate, and somehow it made me happy that he was giving it to me.

Alexa asked me about the secrets that I needed to tell her before my father took me away. And as much as I wanted to tell her about my demon side, I wanted to keep my promise to Adan that he would be the first to know. So I told Alexa I would tell her everything once I was able to tell Adan about

She didn’t make a fuss about it and just told me she was proud of me, that she was worried I would be in a bad place, and that she was glad Adan and I found our way to each other.

Today would be the last day before Alexa and her family would go back to the South, so I thought I would spend some time with little Amara. One of the Omegas pointed out that she was at the library on the ground floor, so that’s where I was heading now.

I opened the door and peered my head inside, and two sets of eyes immediately darted to where I was. It was too late now to hide myself.

“Lucy!” Amara shrieked as she wriggled out of Alpha Aurelius’ lap, where the grand Alpha was reading a story for her.

Amara rushed to where I was, so I had no other option but to step inside and close the door behind me. I bent my knees and extended my arms, catching her and wrapping her around my arms as I carried her.

I smiled apologetically to Alpha Aurelius before I opened my mouth to speak. “I’m sorry, Grand Alpha. I didn’t mean to bother you. I didn’t know Amara was here with you. I will leave and just come back later for her.”

“No…” Amara protested.

“Come in. I don’t mind another company here.”

“Thank you, sir…” But my heart was thudding loudly. I had never been alone with the grand Alpha since that night we talked on the balcony of Alpha Audrius’ estate.

“You can call me, Pops. “That’s what all my grandpups call me.”

My eyes went big and round as he said those words. Was he accepting me as Adan’s girlfriend?

My face must have looked funny because he laughed, and it made him look younger.

“I’m sorry. I just wasn’t expecting that…” I blurted it out, smiling widely at him.

“I’m not really a bad guy…”

“No you’re not, pops. You’re the best in the world!” Amara cut him off as she beamed at her grandfather.
