BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

Chapter 7 – Good Evening

LUCIUS.

“Are you not going to answer me?” Lucy asked, her brows furrowing as she stood beside her mate’s seat while I lounged on the couch inside their office.

Two days after I left their home, I was back again. “I went here to visit Luther, not to be interrogated. ” I hissed, annoyed to be looking at them instead of my nephew.

“We want to know what your plans are.” It was Stone.

“So you offered three weeks to spend with humans? Are you sure you can manage?” Lucy asked again. “What the fuck is so hard about spending time here? And correction, three weeks with Patrea not with all humans on this fucking planet.”

Stone chuckled until Lucy rolled her eyes at him. “Why do you worry? What’s so hard about that?” “A lot! Unlike shifters, demons have power that just comes out when they’re furious. First, you can’t have your eyes blazing red all the time. And then the hissing has to stop.”

“But Stone is allowed to growl every five minutes?” “He does when he’s with shifters, not with humans. II

“I don’t growl every fucking five minutes.” Stone butted in.

“The fuck you do.”

“Stop, both of you. So, can you manage? Can you control your outburst? You can’t burn people just because you hate them or because they bump you on the street. And you can’t order them to do things for you. You have to clean the house, water the plants, wash dishes, cook food, and fix your bed…” “Do you even do all that, Lucija?” I asked although I knew the answer already.

“We have omegas around, but Patrea doesn’t have any,” Stone answered for her.

“Besides, you’re going to live with two witches. Can you control your outburst?” It was Lucija again. “Wait. My deal is just with Patrea. What’s with two witches?” My forehead creased, not enjoying this conversation.

“What will you do with Althea?”

“Send her to the underworld, perhaps. I don’t want her there.” I scoffed.

“How sure are you that you won’t harm Patrea or the people around you?”

“You don’t trust me, do you?” I asked my sister, and my brows hiked up as I waited for her response. “Lucius, I trust you around here because almost everyone knows you already, but out there…”

“I will fucking behave!” I hissed.

“How sure are you?” “Patrea hasn’t agreed yet, and I’m being interrogated already. Can you fucking ask her if she’ s okay with that or not? Then I don’t have to go through this with you if there’s nothing there for me.”

“She said yes already,” Lucija says almost immediately.

“What?” My body jolted forward as I swallowed an invisible lump in my throat. Did I hear Lucy right? ” She said yes?” “Yes. Althea will stay here, as Patrea doesn’t want her there when you’re around.”

I couldn’t help the smirk that crossed my face as I repeated my words. “She said yes.”

“I want your word, Lucius, that you will not create havoc there. And that you will do your best to behave.”

“Did I ever not behave while I was here?”

“You have nothing to be upset about in here.” “What do you mean? Something will upset me there? Like what? People meddling in my affairs? Females staring at me? I’m used to that.”

“Maybe the other way around. Males checking out Patrea…” Stone added, and I saw the evil smirk he threw at me.

I was certain this man was born in the wrong body and deserved a throne in hell. O

“No way,” I said as I shook my head.

“What do you mean, no way? Do you think no one fancies Patrea?” Lucy asked, a teasing smile curling on her lips.
