Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 93

093 – You’re Not Going To Die On Me, Right?
LUCY.
I was still pissed off that my time with Adan was cut off just because of this nonsense. I
had no idea how long I could tolerate this. Father obviously had no idea what he was
doing.
He was trying to scare me off, but every time I told him I would not take the throne, he
would back down and try to calm me down.
There were things hidden from me that I
knew I had to be careful of because the last

thing I wanted was to be sacrificed by my
own father.
I would never bow down to death – not
after I found Adan. Not after I knew what I wanted with my life. I had always thought my
mate could save me from the darkness, but the truth was, nothing could save me but
myself. But Adan, my Adan, was my biggest driving force to keep this fight going. If he
didn’t exist, I would probably let them
control me. But I would not back down now.
I would be the Luna of the Mystic Pack, not
the ruler of Kalmerus.
My annoyance was also heightened by the
fact that I was not able to please my mate
back. Of all the times of the day that
Guillermo would arrive, why did he appear
when I was in the middle of sex?
I wondered if I would be able to revisit Adan.
I knew now what I should do. The only thing was, would I be able to pull it off again?
Also, something was off with him. I felt like he knew too well. He knew the right ways to
touch me, and he was looking at me the same way he would always look at me. It felt
like he knew I was his.
Did he get his memory back? Or was it the familiarity between us that made him look
and touch me that way?
I needed an answer, and I would demand it. ” Lucius, in my chamber if you’re free.’
Lucius appeared as soon as I was finished sending him a message. His face was
scowling, letting me know things didn’t go. well between them after I left the throne.
hall. But what should I expect? Lucius and Guillermo, despite being brothers and
demons, were as opposite as North and
South.
“Fuck!” He grunted. “If only I knew how to fucking kill both of them with my own
hands, they’d be gone now.”
“Are you saying you have no idea how to kill
them, yet you are forming a plan for the cleansing? What will happen then?” I asked
sarcastically.
“I can’t do it alone. That’s why I need you there. Just fucking trust me.”
“Really?”
“Is it not enough I’m giving you favors to keep you going?”
“But you’re still keeping me in the dark.
What are you afraid of? That I will back out.
when I realize this is all a scam?”

“What the fuck? Scam? You think I went to great lengths to send you to the human realm
as part of a ruse?”
“Can you tell me why you sent me then?”
“I want you to see what you’ve been missing while you’re here. I’m fucking sure seeing
Stone woke up something in there!” He pointed at my chest, but he didn’t touch me.
“Right? You wanted to get out of here by any means! Alive! Am I right? So help me help
you! Because at the end of the day, your win is my win!”
“Did Adan get his memory back? Don’t
fucking lie to me because I know the eyes I was looking at!” I went directly to what I
wanted to know.
He hissed as he brushed his hand over his
hair. A dark haze appeared, engulfing the
entire room before dissipating. He was putting up a sound barrier so no one could hear
us, but my room had always been
secured, and it was better to be safe than
sorry.
“So he opened his eyes?” He scoffed.
“And he touched me.”
“I knew he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.
“He shook his head, and I was not sure if he was annoyed or amused.
“You still didn’t answer my question.”
“Fine! He got his memory back! Patrea
decided she wanted to reverse the spell because there was a possibility of him losing his
memory fully if some other supernatural being played with his mind before she could
restore it!”
“He knew I was coming for him tonight?”
“Yes.” He let out a sigh before he continued. “And before you think of anything, I didn’t
allow Stone to do what he wanted. He needs
to follow all my instructions so he can see
you. And yes! The Alpha was like my fucking puppet just so he could see you again! He
wanted you as much as you wanted him, so
before you decide to back out on me, think of
the fucking man who waits for you on the
other side!”
Lucius’ chest was heaving, and so was mine. I was trying to control my emotions as they
were overwhelming me.
“You’re working with Patrea?” I asked.
“Yes. She wanted to get you out of here for helping her.”
“No. Let her out of this. I let her out because
her granddaughter helped me. She doesn’t owe me anything.”
“She wants to. I’m not forcing her if that’s what you think.”
“You’re not bringing her back here!” I snapped at him.
“Of course, I will! We’re demons, but so is our father. We need other supernatural beings
who can help us!”
“How many lives are you willing to sacrifice. just to get me out of here?”
“Just mine. You have my word that everyone. on our side will get out of here alive. If
worst comes to worst, even if I need to use all my power to send you all back to the other
realm, I would do that! You-just-need-to- fucking-trust-me!”
The rest of his words didn’t register as I stared blankly at him. Did I hear him say only his
life would be at stake?
“What do you mean, just your life? I thought you wanted to be the king of Kalmerus?” I
hissed at him as goosebumps rose to my
skin.
Lucius smirked at me as if what he said was
insignificant. “Relax. The king protects his
people, especially the queen. So you have my word that everyone I will bring here will
get.
out alive.”
“Lucius… You’re not going to die on me, right?”
He laughed wickedly before he shook his head. “I thought your stay here had made. you
tough. You were a badass queen there in front of Lucien and Guillermo, but you look like
a scared lamb now.”
I bit my bottom lip as many scenarios came to mind while my words failed me. If Lucius
died, who would rule Kalmerus? I didn’t want to be trapped here. But of course, that was
not the only reason I had to keep him alive.
Lucius was the only family I had.
“I will help you if you promise me you won’t die.” I was finally able to talk.
“You’re grossly underestimating me,
princess Lucija. I didn’t come this far to just throw it all away.”
“You’re confusing me with your words.”
“I swear to Hades, that a day before your cleansing, I will tell you how we can kill him.
Trust me, Lucija.”
“You’re not tagging Adan on this, right?”
He smiled wickedly at me. “What can an ordinary wolf do here? He’s fucking useless. So
do your job and choose me for the cleansing, and I promise you, in no time you’ll be
back in his arms.”
I nodded my head. And before I could say or ask more, Lucius had disappeared from my
room at the same time someone knocked on my door.
‘Are you inside? Can we talk?’ Guillermo dug into my head, and I was thankful that
Father had created an enchantment that prevents
anyone but him and Lucius from entering my chamber through teleportation.
I opened the door and stepped outside, closing the door behind me before I tilted my
head to look at him. “I’m tired and hoping to
get some rest. We can talk here for a while.”
“Maybe you would fancy a walk?”
My eyebrows hiked up as I spoke. “No.”
