Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

133 - Alpha Ethan

A WEEK AFTER.

ADAN STONE.

My eyes raked Lucy’s body up and down as she conversed with some of the females in my pack.

We were at the training building, and the moment we entered the training center, the females on break dashed to her and took her attention.

Lucy was wrong when she thought our pack would shun her and be scared of what she was — but it was the exact opposite.

The elders adored her, the females her age sought advice from her and shared their thoughts with her, and the pups gazed at her as if she were the most beautiful female in the world — which she is, I never doubted that.

So now, I was being ignored.I used to be the reason why the crowd would pave the way for us, but Lucy had taken that spot.

And I didn’t mind at all.I was proud that my pack loved and respected my Luna.

It might be too early to tell, but she looked like she was thriving well here, something I always hoped for since day one.

My eyes shifted from my sexy mate to Kingston as he left instructions for the recruits that wanted to join our warriors.

He opened more slots for our security force.

With Lucy’s Luna ceremony already scheduled as well as my pup coming in a few months, I didn’t want to slack off.I wanted her, our pup, and my whole pack protected, especially since it seemed that everyone’s attention was focused on our pack at the moment.

News of my future Luna, being a demon, had spread out, and as expected, most of the Alphas around us had sent invitations for us to visit them or for us to invite them into our territory, which I ignored or declined.

They only cared about one thing: finding out if the rumors were true and, if so, forming an alliance with us.

Everyone wanted a part of the security and glory of having Lucy’s pack take them along.

But we’ve always been a stand-alone pack.

We thrived without the false security of these packs coming to our aid.

Thad a few Alphas I got along with, and I knew that even without a contract or an alliance, I would help them out and they would do the same for my pack.

Besides, even before Lucy, our pack had always been strong.

We didn’t need the pressure of being nice and cordial to packs we didn’t like.

So the others could keep on dreaming.I looked at the warriors for a few more minutes before I let my eyes feast on my mate again.

My tongue swiped over my upper lip as my gaze fell on Lucy’s stomach.

She was only a week pregnant, but it looked like she was already in her 4th month.I was so used to seeing her perfectly toned belly, but the swelling she was sporting now gave me the same effect when I saw her naked.

Maybe it was because I knew it was my seed that was making her swell, and I thought it was sexy as hell.

Lucy saw me looking at her, and by the way, her eyes twinkled and the seductive way her mouth twitched into a smile, she knew I was lusting over her again.

"Alpha, Alpha Ethan, is at the durst border, seeking permission to enter the territory."

Beta Collin snapped me out of my reverie, and my head turned to him as a scowl formed on my face.

This was not the first time this week that some Alpha had attempted to visit us, and I knew I would be giving the same answer.
