BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 53

053 – Pretending

ALTHEA.

Lucy, Lena, and Laira left my room thirty minutes ago, but I was still stuck doing the same thing. I was pacing back and forth in front of my bed, still contemplating what to do next. I knew I should have been thinking

about how to start dealing with Lucy’s request to put a shield over the territory of the Mystic Pack, but Blade had been occupying my mind.

He told me he would be leaving as soon as he brought me here, but why did he stay? I

didn’t want to give him any false hope that I

would allow him to claim me because that

would never happen.

We had no chance of being together.

I don’t like him. Yeah, I don’t like him. And I needed to remind him again.

I let out a deep sigh before opening my

bedroom door and transferring toward his. I was about to knock on his door when it

opened and Blade’s huge form came into

view.

He was leaning his forearm on the door frame, his face void of any emotions as he

looked at me as if he was expecting me there

already. Of course, this man has a nose as big as his ego, so he could smell me from

afar.

“Do you need anything?” he asked in a cold

tone.

I opened my mouth to reply just to close it again because I realized I didn’t need anything from him.

Oh, spirits! Why am I here?

“Got your tongue tied, kitten? Would you like to come in?”

“No,” I answered almost immediately, but he still opened his door wide and motioned with his hand for me to come in.

“I said, I’m not coming in.”

“So we’re just going to stare at each other by

the door? How romantic. Slide in, or I will pull you out of the corridor, and I can’t promise you I’ll be gentle.”

“Huh!” I huffed, rolling my eyes at him as I

crossed my arms against my chest.

“Now!” He growled too loudly, and my body jerked forward.

My feet moved on their own and stepped

inside his room. He closed the door, but I

saw his mouth twitch into a smile, which he

wiped off his face almost immediately.

Well, he thought he won.

“You can’t do that!” I snapped at him.

“Do what?”

“Growl and scare the hell out of me if you

want something!” I hissed.

“Well, you can do that too!”

“Do what?”

“Stand in front of me as if you wanted me to fuck you, but don’t say anything about it,” he spat as if I’d just committed a mortal sin.

My jaw dropped when his words sank in, and my eyes widened in disbelief. The ego this man had was unbelievable.

“Who said I like you or even fancy you?” I
