Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 186

Chapter 034 - A New Contract

BLADE.

I knew I wasn’t invited here and that I shouldn’t be here, but I wanted to see the guy that was getting her attention. Not that I could do something about it, but if I were to lose Althea to someone, he better be worth it and he better be someone who could protect her.

But looking at him holding her in his arms, I doubted all of that.

Althea looked stronger and smarter than him. Not that I judged people.

Hell, fuck that! Of course, I judged people. I was never nice and had never given any compliments.

Not even to Althea, even if I wanted to. She looked so fucking perfect in that short black dress that hugged her body perfectly.

The only thing missing was me beside her, and that’s why I was here, trying to look comfortable in these formal clothes when I just wanted to rip them off my body. These clothes were made as if

I was not allowed to put a crease in them. What the fuck was I supposed to do — stand still all night and not move my arms so it would remain perfect?

These humans determined what looked good or not, but I still think being naked or wearing fewer clothes is still better than this.

"Why do I need to open the gift in front of you? Why can’t you just give it to me, and I can open it later?" She asked as we walked toward the parking lot. She was walking a little ahead of me.

"I don’t think the gift will fit inside the hall," 1 told her before taking out the car key from my pocket and pressing it, making the dark purple SUV almost in front of us blink lights.

She halted walking as she stared at the car and asked. "Is that your car?"

"Your car," I answered before handing her the key.

"Are you trying to buy me?" She crossed her arm against her chest, ignoring my hand, and I had no choice but to slip the key into my pocket again.

"I don’t think all the money and things in the world could buy you.

"So why are you even trying?"

"I’m not buying you. It’s a gift. Do you ask that question when your friends or your boyfriend give you something?

"Leave them out of this conversation, Blade. What I’m trying to say is that I don’t need these fancy things. If you want to buy me a car, why not settle for a smaller, cheaper one? And I’m sure you custom-made this to give me this color."

"I will not fit in a small car," I told her directly.

"What gave you the idea that I would let you in just because you gave me this?"

"A man’s got to try," I said, scratching my head before I let a crooked smile tug on my mouth. "Does it mean you’re accepting it?

"I don’t even use the money you gave me."

"I know." Her eyes widened at my words, but she didn’t say anything, so I continued talking. "You deposited the money in the bank, and it’s been sitting there for months."

"Lucy told you."

"No, Lucy never did. She never liked me."

"So Alpha Adan did."
