BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 82

082 – Shapeshifting

ADAN STONE.

Every day had been routine for me, and I

still didn’t have the answer we were looking for. Collin told me that maybe we needed help from the same witch that put a shield in the territory, and that’s what we were about to do today. He said her

name was Althea.

So I had to arrange to meet with someone who would look for her in places they thought she would go because I couldn’t

reach Blade at the moment.

But I didn’t tell my parents or

grandparents about this plan. I needed to

ask Althea questions without anyone

interfering.

“You didn’t eat anything.” Mom followed

me after I left the dining table.

Aside from her and Dad, Pops and

Momma also moved back to the

packhouse. They called it family

solidarity. I called this invasion of space

and babying the Alpha.

“I don’t have an appetite at the moment, but I can always grab a meal on the road.”

“Okay. But don’t go hungry.”

“Mom, I’m 28,” I grunted, and she stopped following me, but I could hear her giggling.

If anything, it made me happy to hear her laugh. My Beta told me she was miserable when I was still missing, and even when I came back, she still looked in agony. But at least today she was smiling and

laughing.

“Ready to go?” I asked Collin the moment

I reached the entrance hall of the

packhouse, where he waited with Laira.

“Yes. Whenever you are.”

I nodded my head at him before tilting my head to look around and when I saw no one, I focused my attention back on him. “Tell me, Collin, despite my

memory loss, do you still trust me as your Alpha?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Don’t lie to me.” Not everyone knew in the pack about me losing my memory of Lucy. Only a few of my warriors and most of them accompany me every now and then to make sure I have a scapegoat whenever someone asks about Lucy.

And sometimes I wonder if they see me as

weak this way.

“You lost your memory of her but not the

pack or how to be an Alpha.”

“Make sense. But let me check if you’re lying…” I chuckled, but for some reason I found myself reaching for his forehead with my pointer and middle finger as if I had seen this before or knew what I was

doing.

Collin’s forehead creased as he watched me tap his forehead, but nothing prepared me for what happened next.

It felt like a bolt ran through my fingers and gave me a quick view of his mind, confirming he was not lying – he still believed in me as his Alpha.

“What the fuck?!” I growled as I

withdrew my fingers almost immediately after I tapped his forehead.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, and

confusion was written on his face.

“Let’s try this again. Do you love Laira?”

Laira’s eyes widened, and Collin chuckled at my question before he spoke. “What kind of question is that?”

“Answer it!”

“Of course, I love Laira!”

I tapped his forehead again. Truth.

“You love every home-cooked meal Laira

makes?”

“Of course I do.”

I tapped again. 2
