Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 147

147 - 21st

LUCY.

Tomorrow was supposed to be a happy day, but my heart felt heavy the moment I woke up today.

I will be twenty-one, and I have no idea how I will celebrate it.I told Adan I didn’t want a big party, but I’m starting to regret it.

I had never celebrated my birthdays since my parents died, and the two years I spent in the orphanage didn’t make up for it as I gave them a false date of birth.

So I never get any cakes and birthday wishes anymore on my real birthday.I miss Mom and how she would always try to give me the best birthday, even with just a simple cake and food.

And how Diego would always make an effort to return home to us on that day.He never failed.He kept showing up until he could no longer do it.

I wished I opted for a big celebration so the empty space in my heart that only my parents could fill would be temporarily filled with the people I loved.

But it’s too late to change my mind.

At least Adan invited me for a late dinner tonight.

I wiped the tears from my eyes as I washed my face.I knew I could fix my features and no one would know I'd been crying, but Adan would feel it for sure.I should stop pitying myself.I had the best mate, the best pup, the best in-laws, and a whole pack who loved me.I had what most females didn’t have.

But I couldn’t help it.I only had eleven years with my parents, and my only hope was to see them again one day, on the Moon.

But Hades and his deal with Adan were telling me I would never see them again.

This was something I couldn’t come to terms with.I knew they would understand that I would be choosing Adan, but I wished I didn’t have to choose.

‘Are you ready? Should I come and pick you up?’ Adan’s voice dug into my head. I told him to prepare for tonight in another room so I could have the suite all to myself.I blew my nose before I answered him.

‘‘Almost, give me ten minutes more"

‘‘I'll give you twenty minutes.The reservation is at eight o’clock, so we have time"

‘‘Thank you.I can’t wait to see you.."

‘‘Me too, my sexy bunny"

I chuckled softly and splashed my face with water again before drying it off with a towel.I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror as my eyes slowly returned to normal.

No more puffy eyes.

I have Adan.

And Aiden.

And now I have a new family.

I smiled despite the ache in my heart.I was sure Mom and Diego were happy for me.I looked at the make-up kit I took out earlier and scrunched up my nose.

I’d been lazy lately, constantly using my power to fix myself, and I suppose that will be the case tonight as I spent my time crying instead of fixing myself.
