Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 149

149 - Embracing Who I Am

LUCIUS.

"How are you doing, Lucius?"

Petra’s voice came out soft, and I was not able to stop my head from snapping in her direction, Was it her asking me? I stared at her for a few seconds before her eyebrows raised and she pushed a forkful of meat into her mouth.

My eyes focused on her plump lips as she chewed her food slowly, and I felt a thirst I hadn’t felt in along time, and it made me lose my sense of time.

"Was my question that hard?" She asked again after she was done chewing her meat, her eyes not leaving mine.

A smirk formed on my mouth before I licked my lips and shifted my body slightly in her direction, my hand still holding my fork.

"I thought you didn’t want to hear anything about the underworld?"

"Well, I thought I asked about you, and not the underworld." She emphasized the 'you'.

"They’re the same thing. I and the underworld can’t be separated."

"I see.It’s okay if you don’t want to talk.I was just being polite as we sat next to each other."

"How have you been, Patrea?"

I knew I didn’t need to ask.I’d been watching her from day one, and I knew she was adjusting well to her new life.I had no idea if I had this obsession or craving to see her, but somehow checking on her had become a part of my routine.

The coin made it possible to track her without having to lower my guard and beg Stone for her whereabouts.So my brother-in-law had no idea I'd been stalking the witch for months now.

"Seriously, Lucius? You’re asking me when you ignored my question?"

She glared at me as she spoke in a hushed, angry tone.I missed that, her, glaring and snapping at me.

"I was just being polite as we sat next to each other," I repeated her words before pretending to eat.

"Unbelievable," she said in a frustrated voice, and I knew! should make up for it, but I didn't.

I would have said many things, but there were people around, and with these shifters’ excellent hearing, I was sure my words would be scrutinized.

I will have to wait — until I find the right time, until I get the courage to speak to her again, and until 1 am ready for her rejection.

But until then, I would just go on living my life, venting my sexual frustration on the females who were willing to submit and throw themselves at my feet.

But one day, I would come for her and take that one night I earned.

Besides, no one has ever made a deal with a demon and gotten away with it.

LUCY.

The night couldn’t turn out more perfect than it already was.

After we ate dinner, we stayed a little longer, and I opened all the gifts that were given to me.

I never had so much in my whole life that I ended up laughing and crying at the same time, too overwhelmed by the attention I was getting.

These people really loved me, and I couldn’t help but feel blessed.

Everyone was surely having fun, especially when we began dancing the night away while the pups were resting in a private room on the second floor of the building.

But we didn’t stay too late, as Adan wanted to wait for midnight just alone with me.

The rest of our families headed home to the estate after the party, except for Mom and Dad, who volunteered to watch over Aiden tonight.

They stayed with us at the packhouse, as we did not want Aiden too far away in case he played with his fire.

Stella, Adessa, Patrea, and Althea were also staying for the night so we could all have breakfast on my birthday before they could proceed with their day tomorrow.

After we had gone home, Adan asked if he could have an hour with his Beta and Gamma, so I went to our room alone after I checked on the sleeping Aiden.

I was almost at the door when I saw Althea leaning on the wall in the corridor.
