Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

115 - Demon Forms LUCY.

I had no idea what was more painful: knowing that Lucius had decided to die so Lucien could die too, or knowing that I couldn’t do anything to help him.

I knew that even with my own power, I would not be able to take down Lucien without his help.

But if we saved him, Lucien might come back to life much stronger.

And Lucius was right — I was sure he would raise hell on earth for revenge.

But could I let go of Lucius when he was the only family I had? I knew Lucien was a devil, but I didn’t know that even in the face of death, instead of begging for us to save him, he was still cunning like the demon that he was.

"Now that I know you're useless to me, Lucija, killing him will also kill you. I have no need for you...

You just fucking wasted my time! Now order Patrea to heal Lucius, or I will strike his heart and we can all die together!"

Anger surged through my body as I had never experienced it before.

If he had not been fucking stupid and had not assumed I was his fucking heir, this could have all been avoided, and I could have had the life I wanted with my mate.

But he had to come and fucking ruin everything, and now he was threatening to take the person I loved the most and the only brother I'd learn to care about.

I would not let him take them away, even if it meant using my last breath to save them.

My hair rose around my head as the goosebumps on my skin rose, and I noticed little thorns coming out of my skin.

I had no idea what they were, but they were letting me know I was transforming into something else.

If this was what Lucius was talking about, I was about to transform into my ultimate form.

"There’s only one person who will die here! And it’s not someone from my side!"

My whole body shook, as did the ground around the cave, making burning stones fall on us, but my gaze didn’t stay away from Adan and the dagger tail aiming for his heart.

Adan’s body was also shaking as his eyes blazed red.

The same thorns that sprouted out of my body were sprouting from the back of his arms up to his back, and the sharpness of them cut through my father’s tails, making him fall on the big fire below him.

"No!"

A tortuous scream left my throat as I watched his body fall onto the massive fire, like a pit of hell.

He would never get out of it unharmed.

I rushed to the fire and forgot about Lucien and Lucius.

All I wanted was to save Adan from the fire that ate him alive, only to be taken aback when I got into the middle of it.

A demon was standing in front of me.

And I had never seen such a handsome, beautiful demon as the one I was seeing right now.

Adan, my mate, looked too perfect in his demon form.

The flames whirled around him, but they were not touching him.

I was still confused at all the abilities Adan had shown today, but I just accepted them, knowing getting out of here alive was more important.

"How did you get a demon form?" I asked this time.

He crossed the gap between us, and soon, his arms coiled around my scaly body, and we ended up laughing because it was not really comfortable to be in this kind of intimacy.

I didn’t even notice my form.

I had red scales all over my body, whereas Adan only had them on his back, but they were more prominent and bigger, and it made him look as sexy as fuck.

"I looked like a snake."

I rolled my eyes because he looked so hot, making my pussy throb.

"You looked like Mystique, just more beautiful, but you ended up being how I always imagined you would be. How fucked up is that?"

I giggled before Adan’s body stiffened as he blurted out.

"Shit! We have a demon to kill!"

"Yes!"
