BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 27

027 – Mr. Perfect

LUCY.

“Are you even a fucking shifter?”

My heart felt like it would jump out of my chest at Alpha Stone’s question while he surged forward as if he would attack me.

He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head. His face was deadly, and his eyes were dilating, indicating Beast’s desire to emerge as well. Was he mad too? I seriously had no idea what I had done wrong.

Did they find out I have demon blood? Shit! I shouldn’t have let him cut my palm.

I tried to explain and reason it out, but it felt like the Alpha was not listening at all. His lips were attacking my neck, kissing and nibbling on my soft spot. And despite the danger I felt from my identity being revealed, I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips the moment his fangs grazed against the skin of my neck.

“I want you, Lucy…” His voice came out needy and it made me melt in an instant. He had no idea how much I wanted him. I bit my bottom lip, arching my hips up and letting my front rub against his erection. I was a sensual she-demon, but

I was not easily attracted. I would rather pleasure myself, but this Alpha – he could set my desire on fire in an instant with just his small talk.

I was still reeling in the feeling of his lips. and teeth on my skin and his shaft pressed against mine when I felt a tinge of pain in my neck.

My eyes widened as reality set in. It was nothing, just like an ant bite, but I knew what was happening. Was he planning to mark me? Had he gone mad? He would kill my wolf and I would become a pure demon!

“Alpha!” I grunted, wriggling my hands from his clutch, but he was too strong.

His fangs were piercing my skin slowly like he wanted to savor the moment. But he had no fucking right to claim me without my approval!

Anger surged through my whole body as I moved my ass backward and positioned my leg, bending it and swinging it upward so that my knee hit his groin.

“What the fuck?!” He growled loudly, his eyes dilated as he threw me a deadly glare, with his hands clutching his groin.

I did try not to hit him hard, but I was sure it was still painful. My hands flew to my neck, trying to stop the blood from oozing out, as I tried to calm myself. If I return his anger, he might throw me out, and I might end up on the street soon.

But wasn’t it what I wanted? To be on my own?

The door swung open, and it revealed

Beta Collin and Gamma Kingston with shocked expressions on their faces. Their gazes shifted back and forth between me and Alpha Stone.

“What’s going…” The Beta was not able to finish his words as I dashed off and exited the office.

“Lucy!” Gamma Kingston yelled my name, but I didn’t stop running.

I was aiming to go to his bedroom, but I changed my mind. He might be furious with me so I went for the front door instead.

I kept running, and all the while, my heart was thudding loudly. I didn’t even know where I was heading.

It would be amazing to be claimed by the

Alpha, but we both knew it was done out of the haze he was in. And if he succeeded, what would happen to me? My wolf would die and I would remain wolfless for the rest of my days, and it might mean I would become a full-pledge demon, something I’ve been trying to stay away from.

“Aahhhh!” A scream escaped my lips as I felt my body flung forward. Strong arms caged me into a hug before our bodies hit the ground with a loud thud, and we ended up rolling over the dusty forest grounds.

Thankfully, I didn’t feel any pain when we hit the ground. He might have taken the whole impact. But I needed to get away from him until he could clear his mind.

I wriggled my body and scrambled to move away from the Alpha’s hold. And when he let me go, I pushed my body up to run again, but he got hold of my ankle and pulled me back, making me fall face- down on the ground.

“Aaah!” I screamed as the pain hit my whole face. It was nothing I couldn’t manage, but it was still painful.

“Fuck!” I heard him growl before his hands gripped my arms and lifted me up, letting me sit on the ground. He was moving my body like I was just a rag doll and weighed nothing.

“Shit! Let me see!” His hand cupped my jaw as he scanned my face. And before I could even react, I saw his tongue sticking out as my eyes widened.

My hand flew to his face and I pushed him backward before I inched back from where I was seated.

“Did you just fucking shove my face? I’m just going to fucking heal your scratches! “He looked really annoyed now. Scratches! Did he want to heal my scratches?

I knew an Alpha’s saliva could heal wounds and infections, but I didn’t need anything for just scratches!

“I will heal! No need to do that…” As much as I wanted his tongue all over my body, with the revelation that the wolf’s ways were not taking effect on my body, I was scared his saliva wouldn’t heal me too.

And the last thing I wanted was for the Alpha to end up digging further into my life.

“Are you fucking disgusted with me?”

“Disgusted?” I hissed at him. This Alpha had totally lost it. “I sucked and rode your dick and rubbed my pussy all over your face, and now you’re asking if I’m disgusted with you?”

My chest heaved as I closed my eyes.

Relax, Lucy.

I forgot again that I shouldn’t be shouting at the Alpha.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. But I got terrified that you would mark me. You can’t do that.” I saw pain cross his eyes, but it was just for a flitting second before it turned cold.

“I just wanted to taste your blood.”

He might be telling the truth, but I just wanted to be safe. I was sure he knew what his mark could do to my wolf.

“I just thought you would mark me. They kept reminding us at the shifter school that we should never go through the marking ritual without a wolf. Or our wolf would never surface at all.”

“You think I didn’t know that?”

“I don’t know how your mind works, Alpha. But I wanted to have my wolf.”

“So you can find your mate? You want to find him.” His last statement was not a question.

I closed my eyes and pulled my knees against my chest. I wanted my wolf so I could find my mate because I believed he was my only gateway to saving my soul, like what the Goddess told me.

But since meeting Alpha Stone, I didn’t know if I still wanted to find my mate as I did before. All I knew was, I wanted the Alpha and I wanted to eliminate my demon blood, and I couldn’t do it if I became wolfless.

“Yes.” I was a coward. Instead of telling him the truth, I took the easiest way out.

I opened my eyes just in time to see his. shoulders slumped before he rose to his feet.

“Go back to the packhouse. I can assure you I will never mark you.” His voice was cold, and I felt empty again as I watched him walk away.

Just one day and this man had brought so many questions and confusion to my mind. He was making me stray from my goal, and I knew it all along, yet I was just letting him. I pressed and hugged my knees tighter against my chest as I rested my chin on it, rocking my body slightly while trying to

understand myself and the Alpha. I was sure it was pain that I saw in his eyes – was he disappointed I wanted to look for my mate? Wasn’t he waiting for his mate too?

Pain hit my chest at the thought of the Alpha finding her. I didn’t want to see that day. Was it the same thing he felt? Maybe the Alpha liked me as much as I liked him. But was it possible? He would never see me past my Omega rank.

“Lucy, get up and go back to the packhouse. I don’t have all the time in the world to look after you.”

I rolled my eyes and pushed my body up, stomping as I walked double steps to catch up with the Alpha.

“I don’t need a bodyguard. I can take care of myself.”

“Can you?” He stopped walking and faced me, making me halt my steps. “You always run away at the first sign of danger instead of facing it head-on.”

My eyes widened as my nose flared. I was never a coward and did he forget I was an Omega? I was supposed to cower in front of him. But I knew I was just making an excuse because he was right, I was too scared to face him whenever he ended up being furious with me.

“Well, I’m sorry I disappointed you, Mr. Perfect, I’m-Not-Scared-Of-Anything, but you should see your face whenever you’re furious! It was too much to scare an Omega who had no one to run to for help! And I honestly don’t know what you want from me! You hate me when I state my opinion and if I am being too aggressive, and now I am being ridiculed for running away like a coward! Make up your mind if you want a submissive or a dominant female, and just tell me so I can be one!” I snapped at him, my ears burning, and I knew I might get a backlash soon, but it was too late to take it all back now.

So instead, I walked away from him and headed for the packhouse – hoping he would still let me stay after I disrespected him but preparing myself for the worst, knowing I might be thrown out at any

moment now.
