Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Epilogue – The Alpha’s Little Demon

MYSTIC RIDGE DANCE CONCERT.

LUCY…

My eyes welled up with tears as I clapped my hands together and stood up, together with everyone else in this big auditorium, giving the dance performers a standing ovation.

My five-year-old daughter, Luciana Aila, or Lily, was among the pups dancing in the finale for today’ s performance. And seeing her enjoy her dance with the pups who were raised by the orphanage made me feel too many emotions.

Ten years ago, I found myself on stage dancing with almost nothing covering my body, alongside some of the omegas that were abandoned and raised in orphanages throughout the North. It was an experience I would not wish for anyone.

And I’ve been fighting for years to put an end to this.

We might not have succeeded in abolishing the Omega Feast yet, but I would make sure that these pups under my care would never have to go through the Omega Feast. I would make sure that despite being abandoned or unwanted, they would live their lives to the fullest and be able to choose what they wanted to do with their lives.

“Isn’t she perfect?” Adan leaned his head lower and whispered in my ear before pressing a soft kiss on my temple. “Just like my queen.” “Aren’t you the perfect mate? Pampering me with words all the time.” I smiled warmly as I tilted my head to look at him. My eyes were beaming with love for the man who fought for me and had loved me unconditionally through the years. “Lily is perfect, as are all the pups that were dancing with her.”

“Yes, they are.” His hand cupped my jaw and brushed his thumb against my skin as the main lights of the auditorium lit up and the crowd began dispersing from their seats.

Mom and Dad were just beside us, as well as Momma and Pops, who were already settled in the south but flew here this morning so they could see their great grandpa's performance. Our whole family was here to celebrate with us.

Except for Aiden, who decided his ten-year-old self was too cool to attend dance recitals. This was Lily’s second recital this month. The other one was for her dance class, which Aiden attended and got bored with, so he pleaded not to come this time and requested to stay with Lucius while we were out here. Something I had no problem with because my brother had never broken the trust I had placed in him when it came to my pups.

Lily loved dancing, and we let her enjoy it as much as she could.

I was still reeling from the feeling of sparks and warmth that Adan was giving me through his touch when I felt his warm and wet lips capture mine, and before I knew it, we were already sharing a sweet kiss in the middle of the auditorium.

Some things never change. Despite having two kids, Adan could still make ladybugs and b*tterflies flutter in my stomach and he could surely make me wet in an instant. O

“Sssh… You two! Enough of that, your daughter is waiting for us!” I heard Mom’s voice from behind me.

It made me pull away from Adan’s mouth and giggle as I discreetly wiped my lipstick off his lips with my fingers.
