BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 83

083 – Queen & King of Kalmerus

PATREA.

I watched as Lucius tried to pacify Alpha Stone. I knew I could easily protect myself, but the last thing I wanted was to hurt the Alpha if he attacked me because he was not the enemy here, so I was thankful Lucius was taking a stand to stop him.

I still had no idea what Lucius had in mind. He never shared his plan – either he didn’t trust me or he had no concrete plan at all. But maybe he just didn’t have time to tell me yet since he only showed up today.

“Not just any demon. I want you to practice taking my form.” Lucius told

Alpha Stone as if he were just telling him to shop for new clothes.

I was trying to keep my silence, but I couldn’t keep it this time. “Are you

planning to bring him to the underworld again and pretend to be you?”

“Relax, I will lay out all the plans

tomorrow, but first we need his memory back. That way he will remember things about the underworld, and I don’t need to spend hours explaining them to him.”

“But how will you bring him there?”

“That’s where you will come in.”

“No. I’m not sending him there, and I don’t think my power or spells can.”

“Think about some of the things my

father told you. He discussed how to

bring other creatures into the underworld.

“Spirits, Lucius! I was stuck there for

decades, and your father visited or

summoned me too many times. I doubt if

I will remember everything he told me.”

“Just try… because I had no way of bringing him there.”

“I’m still here in case you forgot. And don’t you fucking tell me you have plans but no way to bring me back there? What happened to sell your soul to the devil to get there?”

“No, we are not doing it that way?”

“And why?”

“If I die, no other demons can take you out of the demon world. Not even Lucija. You will be stuck out there.” Lucius

explained.

“Are you telling me you are going to die?”

“Who knows? But I didn’t want to take

that risk.”

“So how on fucking earth will I get there?

“Patrea needs to search her memory, and I will try to find other ways. But you need to prepare yourself. We will need to begin training you after you get your memory back. That means I might need you for

two to three days straight away from your

territory with a legitimate excuse so my father doesn’t suspect you’re up to something against him.”

“I can arrange that.” The man behind Alpha Stone spoke. “I’m his Beta. I can hold the fort down while he goes on a

territory check with his Gamma. But then he can’t go with just his Gamma, he

needs to take five to ten men with him.

It’s a pack protocol.”

“I can take them with me, but they will go and check territories without me.” Alpha Stone answered before he pointed to the other man behind him. “I will have Viktor lead them in that case, so we can limit the

people who know about this.”

“We can do that. We can meet again here

tomorrow morning.”

“No. Not in the morning. We’ll meet by

sundown. I need time to prepare my men. After that, you can have me for four to five days if needed.”

“Sounds good. How about the place?”

“We will go to Blade’s territory. His brother is the current Alpha after he turned his back on his pack. The current Alpha owed me a favor when I helped him run their pack when Blade left, so I am sure he won’t refuse if I ask for

someplace within his land.” 4

“Well, thanks for the explanation, but I don’t give a fuck who these people are. As long as you trust they can keep us without revealing anything, then we are good.”

“Blade is the one who brought us the

witch that put a shield on the territory. So

he is aware of what Lucy is, but I’m not

sure if Blade is there since he rarely

shows up in his brother’s pack.”

My heart thudded loudly as I listened to the Beta’s words. Did he mean the witch Althea? My granddaughter?

“The witch that helped you, maybe she

can…

I held Lucius’ chest with my palm to stop him from talking. He probably wanted to ask them to have the witch help us as

well.

“Althea. Is that the witch’s name?”

“Yes,” The Beta answered. “Do you know

her?”

“She’s my granddaughter. Do you know where she is now?”

“Wow! How come I didn’t know that?”

Lucius asked sarcastically as if I owed him anything.

“Why would you know?” I asked him before shifting my attention back to Alpha Stone. “I’m not sure she knows that I made it back from the underworld, and I haven’t met her, so if you can tell me where I can find her, I will appreciate it very much.”

“We were on our way there before you stopped us to meet someone who will look for her. We haven’t heard from her since she left the territory to hide from

Lucien.”

“But do you know if she is still alive?” I asked, my heart thudding loudly.

“She is. Lucien didn’t bother her anymore because Lucija agreed to send Stone back here and forget about him.” 1

I noticed the Alpha’s eyes dilated before he blinked and his gaze shifted elsewhere

as he spoke.”Lucija… Lucy… Did she forget about me?”

His voice was so low as if he didn’t want

to ask the question. My eyes darted to Lucius, who had his mouth parted but wasn’t saying anything, just looking at Alpha Stone.

I nudged his arm with my elbow and the moment he looked at me, I mouthed at him to answer Stone.

“Lucija… Well, I haven’t spent time with her, but she’s busy perfecting her skills and power.” He said it without any care.

Oh, spirits! That wasn’t what I meant when I told him to answer him. No

wonder he’s a demon, he has no

emotions at all.
