BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 68

068-A Demon’s Bite

ADAN STONE.

“Wrap it up? With you watching? Are you fucking fucked up?” I growled again, my hands coiling into fists. If Lucy were not here, I would be throwing punches at him

already.

“Lucija, stop me, or I’m going to shred this man into pieces.” He hissed at me, his eyes darkening before they blazed red.

“Do it then!” I snapped back at him. I knew I could end up dead in seconds, but who the fuck appreciates being disturbed in the middle of having sex?

“Can you both calm down?” Lucy let out a loud sigh, making my head snap back at her.

“Can you cover yourself!” I growled at her.

She was clutching the sheets over her body, but I could still see the roundness of her upper breasts, and I didn’t give a fuck if

Lucius was her brother. For all I knew, demons had no concept of incest.

“I am covered!” Lucy’s brows furrowed.

Lucius flicked his fingers, and soon she had the same bodysuit Lucien gave her

yesterday.

“Better now?” He mocked me before he

shook his head, looking annoyed.

I didn’t answer, but a low rumble formed in my chest.

“Come now, let’s go, and stop growling at me, dog! I’m not the enemy here!”

His words made me growl again, and I was

about to fire back at him, but I felt Lucy’s hand on my wrist, tugging at it, so I would

look at her.

“Calm down, Lucius is helping us.” She smiled warmly at me before she turned to

face her brother. “Lucius, can you turn

around? Give us a minute.’

||

He hissed but didn’t say anything. He turned

around and walked to the big window, peeping outside.

My attention was drawn back to Lucy when I felt her warm, wet mouth take in my still- leaking cock and begin cleaning it up. My hand tightened around her hair while I

stifled my grunts and watched my little

demon as she smirked at me while she

continued to suck me clean. 1

As soon as she was done, she stood up and kissed me hard, as if we would never see each other again.

“Enough, Lucija. We can’t get caught.”

Lucius spoke again, and if I could only

retrieve my claws, I would have had his neck. cut already.

Lucy nodded her head, but her eyes were fixated on me. “I love you. Stay calm down. there, and no matter what happens, we are a team.” 1

“I wish I could do more. I can’t just stay tied up there until he kills me.” My breathing

hitched as I cupped her face. “Maybe I

should face him when he comes back. I want

to negotiate with him.”

“He never negotiates. But I can assure you, he won’t kill you. The witch bound our lives together. So just leave it to me to find a

solution.”

“What do you mean? Bound us?”

“The last spell she made it bound us

–

together. If you die, I will too. And if I die, you die too. I’m sorry. It is the only way I could think of a guarantee that my father will not touch or kill you once he realizes how important you are to me. But please don’t tell him who did this to us, or she would be in danger.”

“Lucy… I don’t have eternal life… You’re shortening your lifespan.” His eyes flitted with worry.

“I don’t need eternity without you, Adan. I’ll be content to live in your lifetime… as long as I have you. But you need to be patient, it

might take a while before we can be together.

“What do you mean? We have to make it out here alive, both of us. I’m not leaving this realm without you.”

She swallowed hard as she stared back at me.

“Enough of the fucking drama, or I will leave you both alone to deal with Lucien.” Lucius snapped at us before he flicked his fingers again, and I felt air swipe all over my body.

“What the fuck was that?” I growled.

“I took out Lucija’s smell on you. Let’s go.” He held my arm, and I knew I would be gone from here soon.

“I love you.” My eyes softened as I looked at my mate. Her eyes were pooling with tears, and they mirrored the same emotion I had inside.

“I love you too!” I replied back, and Lucy crushed her lips against mine. I savored her

lips for a moment before I felt my body being sucked in, and I knew Lucius had

taken me away.

Soon, I was back in the dark, damp cell, being tied up in chains. Although I didn’t regret fucking Lucy the whole time, I wished we had talked more. But everything about my mate set me on fire, and I couldn’t help touching her.

“What the fuck is that?” Lucius cupped my neck as he hissed lowly.

I swatted his hand away and glared at him, but his eyes were fixated on my neck where Lucy bit me.

“The fuck!” He murmured lowly, but I saw his chest heave. His eyes were glowing a bloody red, and his face was deadly.

He didn’t say any more words and just disappeared in front of me.

♡♡♡

LUCY.

I was still in my bed, clutching the sheets tightly around me as I thought of my next move when Lucius suddenly appeared at the foot of my bed.

“Oh, Goddess! Thank Goddess, you’re back! I need to ask you about something!” I smiled at him. I wanted to ask about the vein-like tattoo that appeared on Adan’s skin after I bit him, but I didn’t have time to ask as he began shouting at me.

“What the fuck were you thinking when you bit him?” I had seen Lucius mad before, but never with me. And tonight, he looked like he was beyond mad. He was furious.

I stood up from my bed and crossed my arms against my chest as I faced him. ” What’s wrong with that? A demon is allowed to bite anyone they want.”

“You’re a fucking royal! You could have killed him!”

“What?” My eyes widened as I stared at him

in disbelief.

“You’re fucking stupid, Lucija! You have

strong demon venom, and it could kill anyone you bite!”

“But he didn’t die.” I was trying to convince myself that it didn’t harm him.

“But he’ll probably end up dead soon!”

“Don’t say that!” I yelled at him as my heart thudded loudly. “But… but… does anyone survive a demon bite?”

Oh, Goddess! What have I done?

I felt my whole body heat up as my breathing hitched. I could see the candles flickering. “Is there a chance he will survive?

Lucius closed his eyes for a few seconds before he opened them. His expression went back to normal as his breathing slowed

down.

“Don’t tell Father that you marked him. No one has to know you gave him the demon’s venom. Am I understood?”

“But why? I don’t want him to die! If I need to beg Lucien to save him! I will do it!” If

Adan died, I would as well. But I didn’t want us to end our lives just because I was stupid.

Soon, the fire was on my palms and Lucius stared at them.

“Adan can’t die! If I need to…” I wanted to repeat what I said about asking for help from Lucien but he cut me off this time.

“I said don’t you fucking tell Father that you marked him!” He grabbed my arm and tugged on it, making my body inch closer to him. His eyes were blazing bloody red, and the deadly expression was back on his face.” He’s not dead! It means he survived it! It only takes five seconds before that venom kills its victim. So no need to tell Lucien about it! I will hide his mark, but you need to promise me you will not tell anyone about the mark!”

“What are you hiding from me, Lucius, that I’m not allowed to tell Father about this?”

At this point, I had no idea who to trust. I knew my father wanted Adan dead and wanted me to transform into a full demon. But what about Lucius? What was his plan? Why was he so upset with me for marking Adan if he knew already that Adan didn’t die from my venom?

“Just do what I said. Or I won’t be helping you and Stone out of here!” He snapped at me as he shoved my arm away from his clutch before he disappeared, leaving me with more questions than I had before.
