Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

119 - Packhouse ADAN STONE.

After we said goodbye to Lucius, I held Lucija in my arms and didn’t give her time to ask questions about her brother.

I knew the new king probably wanted a moment with Patrea, and just based on his behavior toward her, I knew she was in good hands, so I was not worried.I transported our bodies back to the packhouse and left Patrea with Lucius.

In just a matter of a few seconds, our bodies landed in the receiving hall of my packhouse.I had no idea what time it was already in the human realm, but it seemed like everyone was inside the packhouse.I let go of my mate in my arms as we came face to face with Sheena/ Althea and the other me.

Lucy’s body stiffened, and I could feel anger surge up inside her, but it died down almost immediately.She probably realized it wasn’t me with Sheena.

"Lucy?"

Althea’s voice was louder than usual, and people in the kitchen probably heard her, since rushing footsteps echoed around almost as soon as she mentioned Lucy’s name.My mother was the first one to come into view from the rushing footsteps, and her face paled as she stared at Lucy.

"Oh, Goddess, Lucy! Let me explain!"

Shit! Mom appeared so guilty that I felt even more guilty.

But then her gaze fell on me and then back on Blade, who still looked like me, and the next thing I knew, her body collapsed, but Dad was fast enough to catch her.

Momma and Pops were already here as well, as were Alexa and Aeon.

The latter couple was smiling widely, with Alexa’s eyes pooling in tears as she watched Lucy and Althea hugging.

"What is going on? Why am I seeing two Adan?" Momma asked.

Pops snaked an arm around her, pulling her to his side before he spoke.

"I'm sure the pups would explain."

‘I’m sorry, Alpha.I had to inform your father and grandfather because they don’t believe you were dining with them for breakfast.Blade ate a lot this morning, and you never ate so much during breakfast"

Collin’s voice rang in my head.He was also here with Kingston as well as their females.

‘Blade told Alpha Aeon and Luna Alexa as well" So, I guess, only Mom and Momma were not aware.

"Althea, sweetheart. If you can change back to the real you, it will be easier to explain to everyone around here." Dad said as I assisted Mom in regaining consciousness.

She was now sitting on the couch and clutching my hand.
