BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 83

083 – Queen & King of Kalmerus

PATREA.

I watched as Lucius tried to pacify Alpha Stone. I knew I could easily protect myself, but the last thing I wanted was to hurt the Alpha if he attacked me because he was not the enemy here, so I was thankful Lucius was taking a stand to stop him.

I still had no idea what Lucius had in mind. He never shared his plan – either he didn’t trust me or he had no concrete plan at all. But maybe he just didn’t have time to tell me yet since he only showed up today.

“Not just any demon. I want you to practice taking my form.” Lucius told

Alpha Stone as if he were just telling him to shop for new clothes.

I was trying to keep my silence, but I couldn’t keep it this time. “Are you

planning to bring him to the underworld again and pretend to be you?”

“Relax, I will lay out all the plans

tomorrow, but first we need his memory back. That way he will remember things about the underworld, and I don’t need to spend hours explaining them to him.”

“But how will you bring him there?”

“That’s where you will come in.”

“No. I’m not sending him there, and I don’t think my power or spells can.”

“Think about some of the things my

father told you. He discussed how to

bring other creatures into the underworld.

“Spirits, Lucius! I was stuck there for

decades, and your father visited or

summoned me too many times. I doubt if

I will remember everything he told me.”

“Just try… because I had no way of bringing him there.”

“I’m still here in case you forgot. And don’t you fucking tell me you have plans but no way to bring me back there? What happened to sell your soul to the devil to get there?”

“No, we are not doing it that way?”

“And why?”

“If I die, no other demons can take you out of the demon world. Not even Lucija. You will be stuck out there.” Lucius

explained.

“Are you telling me you are going to die?”

“Who knows? But I didn’t want to take

that risk.”

“So how on fucking earth will I get there?

“Patrea needs to search her memory, and I will try to find other ways. But you need to prepare yourself. We will need to begin training you after you get your memory back. That means I might need you for

two to three days straight away from your

territory with a legitimate excuse so my father doesn’t suspect you’re up to something against him.”

“I can arrange that.” The man behind Alpha Stone spoke. “I’m his Beta. I can hold the fort down while he goes on a

territory check with his Gamma. But then he can’t go with just his Gamma, he

needs to take five to ten men with him.

It’s a pack protocol.”

“I can take them with me, but they will go and check territories without me.” Alpha Stone answered before he pointed to the other man behind him. “I will have Viktor lead them in that case, so we can limit the

people who know about this.”
