Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

131 - God of the Underworld LUCY.

My eyes squinted as I stared at Hades in front of me.

Looking at him hurt my eyes, but it didn’t take long before my eyes were able to adjust to his features.

He was in his demon form, his ultimate form, I believe.

We kept staring at each other.

I was standing directly in front of him, twenty feet from the stone throne on which he was seated.

"Speak, my child."

His voice was deep and gurgling as if it came from the deepest part of hell.

"Are you trying to terrify me with your demon form?"

I had no idea why I said that.

Sometimes, I really couldn't stop my mouth.

"Terrify you? Is there anything that scares you, Lucy?" He asked, his gaze fixed on my soul.

But if anything, I was glad that he was addressing me as Lucy and not as Lucija.

"Nothing.Except to be separated from my mate." I answered.

"I know.I’ve known you since you were a child.I know what’s inside your heart."

"Why Adan? What do you want from him?"

"You.I want you, Lucy.Not him.But I know he’s the only one that can bring you to me."

"I am here now.I’m a demon.I can never run away from it.What do you require more of me? I will not abandon my demon side if that’s what you want, just set his soul free.

"And what will happen to both of you after you have perished? You will choose the moon...Am I right?"

"You're not fair," I hissed at him.

"I never said I was."

"You want to trap us in this realm.Tell me, Hades, does it satisfy you to see lovers being torn apart in hell?"

"Maybe..."

"What do you want in exchange for Adan?"
