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

Chapter 027 - Hot and Thirsty PATREA.

I couldn’t concentrate on what I was doing the moment Nyneve appeared in the mirror I was holding.

She was naked.

And she was perfect, and all my insecurities about my body rose in my chest.

Even with the black veins covering her arms and legs, she was still a beauty to behold, and I knew I was already losing this battle.

I made my way to the far end of the library, where old books were kept and were seldom visited by people.

It was only there that I let the tears that were threatening to fall earlier finally trickle down my cheeks.

I didn’t know I would feel this jealous and possessive toward Lucius.

This was not part of the plan.

I was just supposed to finish the contract and move on.

But how will I do that when this demon king has been occupying my mind 24/7 these past few days? I was planning on closing the mirror as I didn’t want to see what would happen between them when I saw demon guards appearing around them and then Nyneve disappearing together with them.

So instead, I moved to a comfortable position, leaning my back against the shelf, while watching Lucius stride out of the bathhouse with a deadly expression on his face.

I had no idea where he was heading.

Did he throw Nyneve out of his tower, or did his guards bring her to his chambers? My heart was thudding loudly as he appeared in his throne room and spoke with a demon I had never seen before.

He might be Dorion, his right-hand demon.

Lucius was furious.

His eyes were blazing red, and I could see smoke emitting from the ground where he was standing.

And then, he was gone.

And the mirror went dark until I could see nothing.

Did he close the connection so I wouldn’t see where he was heading? Maybe he went to see Nineve, and he didn’t want me to see it.

I wiped the dried tears from my face before I took the glasses I had in the pocket of my blouse, slipping them in so no one would notice my red eyes if someone went in here.

I closed my eyes, my back still leaning against the shelves, as I contemplated my life and the things I wished to do before Lucius came and stayed with me.

I had a life before Lucius, and I must continue with it after Lucius.

Althea would be turning nineteen soon, and although she said she didn’t want one, Lucy and I were already planning to have a simple celebration for her.

I should get back on that and not let Lucius consume my days.

And then I promised Lucy that I would teach her how to bake those pastries that I would make for her when she was still with me in the underworld.

That should also keep me busy for some time.

"Patrea..."

Someone called my name in a hushed tone.

My eyes snapped open as my head tilted to the end of the aisle, where Stefanie’s head was peering, her eyes twinkling, and her mouth twitching into a goofy smile.

"Stop daydreaming because the man of your dreams, your godlike boyfriend, is already on his way up here.The receptionist at the lobby called."

I smiled at her as I brushed my blouse and skirt with my hands.

"Pull your skirt higher." She said.

I chuckled and played along so she wouldn't know my heart was heavy.
