BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 43

LUCY.

“Are you an Angel? My special Angel?”

I should have smiled at the way he addressed me, but his words only cut my heart.

“I’m not. I’m the exact opposite.”

My eyes watered, as I let my horns surface from my temples while my tail began to swoosh around my back until it was standing proudly beside me.

Adan’s mouth dropped as his body stiffened, and I saw the shock in his eyes, but I couldn’t tell if he despised me or not. “Your eyes.’

I had horns and a tail, and all he noticed were my eyes. But yes, my eyes turned crimson red.

“Don’t run.” My voice broke as my shoulders began to shake, while I tried my best not to cry.

When did I get so weak?

I was standing naked in front of the only man I was willing to show my true self to, and I knew that if he ran away, he would shatter me to pieces.

“I’m sorry…”

‘Don’t be sorry for who or what you are.’ A voice rang in my head. 1

Whoever she might be, she was right, I need to calm down or the fire will come out.

My horns and my tail, as well as my wings, were things my father would not be able to detect because they were part of my body. They were my own.

But the fire was my connection to him it was a gift that linked me to him.

I dropped my gaze from the Alpha as I rushed toward where he was seated to grab the necklace on the ground beside him, but before I could take it, his hand grabbed mine and stopped me from picking it up.

I felt my horns retract, as well as my tail, because of the opal stone’s presence.

I tilted my head to look at him as my heart thudded loudly. His face was still void of any emotion. I had no clue if he was repulsed or terrified of me.

“Show me more,” he said in a calm voice.

“I need the necklace.”

“I want to see your full demon form. Out your horns again!”

The way his deep, baritone voice came out with that order was too sexy, making tingles spread in between my thighs.
