Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 137

137 - Mystic Ridge LUCY.

I let my hair dance against the crisp wind as I looked at the vast forest all around us.

My left hand was tightly clasped against Adan’s as he drove us through the forest.

We were heading somewhere important to me that had been put on hold for weeks as I tried to maneuver into my new life as Luna of the Mystic Pack and Adan’s mate.

I couldn’t believe how far I’d gone in just a couple of months.

The Omega Feast and the Underworld adventure felt like distant memories now, and soon I would be in my third month of pregnancy and about to meet my little boy.

I couldn’t be more excited.

I knew he would be perfect, just as his father was.

A month ago, my Luna ceremony was held at the same time Adan and I vowed to the moon to love and respect each other for eternity through our union ceremony.

We kept the ceremony simple, celebrating with guests that were special to us.

We only invited close family and friends, together with the elders and leaders from all parts of our territory.

We had invited a few Alphas that were close with Adan, but that was it.

Not that we didn’t want to celebrate it, but with the increase of pack attacks in the northern part of the country, we wanted to stay vigilant and keep our pack protected while keeping attention away from us.

Not that we were scared, but in any war, it is always the civilians who suffer the most, and we wanted to avoid that.

Ethan was one of the Alphas who worked together with others to launch attacks on small packs.

He wanted to expand his territory, and I knew Adan was just controlling himself so he would not interfere.

In the north, to each his own — until you seek assistance.

But for us, we were confident we would survive any attack.

Aside from the fact that no one had attempted to challenge the last three Alphas of the Mystic Pack, who would dare touch us when they all knew two demons were ruling over our territory? Everything had been going well — so well that sometimes I couldn't help but worry, but then I remembered I was no longer alone.

In whatever turmoil fate would throw at me, I had Adan.

We would be okay.

Hades had never bothered me since the day I encountered him, but the Goddess Selene had often been in my dreams.

I knew it was her way of communicating, assuring me that she meant to keep her word to look after me and Adan.

I smiled as I closed my eyes when the familiar air of the forest surrounding the orphanage began to fill my lungs.

This place had been my refuge for two years.

Even with the bad experiences I had during those years, I couldn’t just abandon them.

Like my persona, I’ve learned to embrace both the good and the bad in my life.

"We're here," Adan said as he squeezed my hand.

My eyes opened, and I realized that the car had stopped directly in front of the entrance of the Shallow Ridge Orphanage.

"Ready!"

I squeezed his hand back without taking my eyes off the building.
