Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M novel Chapter 105

BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 105
105 – Where Is He?
LUCY.
I stood in front of a full-length mirror
and looked at myself. The rightful heir to the Kalmerus throne?
Why me? What have I done to deserve this throne? I am a half-blood demon.
Were they mistaking my mixed aura as a strong one? Because I was sure that I
couldn’t feel in me the desire to rule this
kingdom.
I wanted to prove my father wrong, but I would use the fact that he thought I was his heir
to my advantage
– that he
couldn’t touch or kill me because it would
kill him as well.
Regardless if I was the heir or not, Lucius was right: I was the weapon in this war.
I summoned two daggers, and they came swishing from my weapon chest and stopped
midair in front of me. I grabbed them and aimed for the painting hanging at the far end of
my room, aiming for the center of the flower vase. In seconds, the first dagger flew out of
my hand and
landed where I wanted it to. The next dagger followed and split the handle of the first one
before it dropped off the
floor.
I didn’t waste time, and this time, I aimed ice spikes in every corner of my room
where I could find a target, with only one thing in mind: my father’s heart.
Lucien had the fastest reflexes I had ever
seen. So making him a target was not that
easy, but I had to keep trying and find a
way to sneak up on him because the idea
of an ultimate demon form still seemed absurd to me. If Father didn’t have one, why was
Lucius thinking I would be able
to summon mine?
After what felt like an eternity, Lucius.
finally spoke in my head. ‘I’m ready when
you are.’
‘I’m not even sure where he is. Let me get back to you in a while.’ I answered him.
‘Where are you?’ I connected with
Guillermo’s mind as I took one last look
at myself in the mirror. I was dressed in black, skinny jeans and a lacey spaghetti strap
top that resembled lingerie and
exposed the upper part of my breasts. I let my hair down this time and fixed it into big
curls.
I looked like a seductress, like a real she- demon.
‘Great hall. Miss me?’ He replied right
away.
‘You wished. But maybe… aren’t we supposed to discuss what we will do for
the cleansing?’
‘We’ll fuck. Don’t tell me you’re a virgin!’ He laughed maniacally, and I rolled my eyes
before transporting my body into the hallway where his bedroom was located. The area
was deserted, just the perfect
place.
‘You will find out later, I guess. I’m standing outside your bedroom door.
Should I go where you are or will you come here?” I asked him back before sending a
message to Lucius about where I was and that I was waiting to see if
Guillermo would come here as well.
‘Send me another message if he’s there, and make sure he’s facing toward his
room and not the other way.’ Lucius
instructed.
‘I’ll be there.’ Guillermo answered, and I moved a little further from his room so we would
not end up inside because
Lucius would not be able to teleport into
his room.
Guillermo whistled as he raked me up and down. He appeared beside his door, but I
didn’t move from where I was. I flashed him a smug grin as I placed my hands on my
hips. “Like what you’re seeing?”
“Yes. Is that for me?” His gaze fell on my
breasts.
“No. For me. A queen doesn’t dress up for anyone except herself.” I answered
smugly. 1
“Cocky, as always. Come here.” He licked
his lips and motioned with his hand for
me to come over.
I leaned my back on the wall along his door and flashed him a smile before
inserting my hands into my jeans pocket. “No, you come here.”
“Is this how life with you will be? I have
to bend all the time.” He hissed,
displeasure was on his face, but it didn’t bother me at all. He was walking toward me and
stopped right in front of me, our bodies almost touching. Just the perfect
spot, as Lucius instructed.
‘He’s here.’ I sent a message to Lucius, but he didn’t respond.
“Maybe, maybe not.” My hands went up to his chest as I smoothed over that part
of his shirt.
“Are you looking forward to later?” His fingers trailed down my arm as he asked.
“I don’t know. I just want it to get over and done.”
“Maybe this will give you an overview of what you will get later.” His face closed in, and I
knew he would be kissing me again.
I internally cursed Lucius as I sent him
another message before Guillermo’s lips crushed into mine. My hands that were
on his chest clutched onto his shirt as I
slowly kissed him back, hoping the presence of the enchantment in the tower was
enough so Adan would not feel this betrayal.
I was kissing him sensually, but the demon wanted more and began prying my lips open
while pressing his bulging front into mine. I bit his bottom lip, pulling it before withdrawing
from the kiss. I bit my bottom lip as I pushed his body away. “We should save our energy
for later.”
His eyes were blazing red, and his face looked deadly. I just tempted him, and I knew I
was in a big mess.
Where the fuck is Lucius?
“You might be the queen here, but I’m still the king when it comes to my dick!”
He hissed. Anger was rising from his aura as he gripped my hair harshly and turned my
body around roughly. He pressed my head against the wall as his free hand tugged my
spaghetti top down, exposing my breasts.
My hands flew to cover them as a gasp escaped my throat. Guillermo was still pressing
my head hard against the wall, yanking my arms away from my front, and groping my
breast while his mouth was on my neck.
Fuck! If he switched to the other side of my neck, he would notice Adan’s mark!
Despite the pain in my heart and my head from being pinned against the wall, I didn’t
fight him off. He needed to be in this position, facing this way, so Lucius could do his
part.
I closed my eyes and connected with
Lucius one more time while fighting the
urge to kill Guillermo.
‘Where the fuck are you? He’s assaulting
me!’ I yelled at Lucius in my head as Guillermo’s hand slipped inside the front of my
jeans, and I couldn’t help it this
time. “No!”
“Fuck!” He hissed loudly.
And then he was gone.
My body slid down as the demon pinning my head to the wall just disappeared.
My eyes widened as I fixed my top while scanning the whole corridor. Where did he go?
‘Father’s chamber. Now! Step 2.’ Lucius’ words rang in my head.
‘Where is Guillermo?’ I asked him.
‘Later. Come here now. It’s just perfect
timing. And whatever you see is an
illusion I conjured up with the witch.’
My heart thudded loudly at his words. What was I about to see? Please, not
Adan.
I teleported my body into my father’s chamber, specifically his office, and found him and
Lucius watching
something in his hologram again.
I couldn’t see anything because they were
blocking it with their bodies. They both turned around when they felt my
presence.
“Just the person I was hoping to see.’
Father greeted me with a devious grin.
“Me too. I need your help.” I told him before my eyes darted to the hologram behind
them, and I saw two figures in the
dark.
‘Relax. It’s not him.’ It was Lucius.
“What’s that?” I asked, but I already
knew what I was seeing, and it was
crushing my heart, but Lucius told me it was just a deception.
“Glad you asked. Look what Stone has been doing just a few cycles after he left here.”
“What do you expect, Father? He can’t
remember Lucija, and shifters like us are
sexual beings,” Lucius added, scoffing as
he did.
“The fuck, Lucija! Control your emotions.
That’s Blade and Althea! Illusions,
remember?!’ He grunted in my head.
‘Where is Adan?’
‘I will tell you later. I just need to do that so Father will leave him alone. Don’t
show you’re affected.’
My brows hiked up despite the pain in my chest. The female, whose identity I had no
idea of, was straddling Adan as he sat
in the bed. She was still wearing her short pajamas, and they were probably just rubbing
against each other. 2
My head was telling me it was Adan, but my heart wasn’t.
Besides, Adan never let anyone hold his shoulders, not even me. He told me he would
tell me one day, and I wanted to believe that even with his memory of me
gone, he would never forget that he
didn’t like anyone touching his
shoulders. That part began in his
childhood, as he told me.
And this female was gripping his shoulders tightly.
It’s not Adan.
“Lucija, did you hear me?” Father asked, and it snapped me from my own thoughts.
“I didn’t. Again?”
“Does it bother you?”
“No. I was wondering if I would feel
anything.”
“And?”
“I feel frustrated…”
Lucius hissed in my head, disliking my
response, but I didn’t mind him.
“They’re having sex, and I can’t!
Guillermo disappeared on me just now!” I blurted out, trying to look annoyed.
“What do you mean he disappeared?”
“We were on our way to his chamber, and we were fondling in the hallway…”
“What the fuck was that for? Are you fucking Guillermo?” Lucius hissed as his eyes
blazed red.
I raised my pointer finger to stop him from talking more. “It’s none of your
business what I do with my body.”
“I can’t reach his mind,” Father stated,
stopping me and Lucius from bickering.
“Exactly, that’s why I’m here.” I snapped
at him.
“What happened?”
“We were groping each other, and he turned me around and continued holding
me, and then he cursed, said fuck, as if he remembered something, and he just
disappeared.”
“Stop lying, Lucija.” Lucien hissed.
“Oh, Hades! Why would I lie? Have you been aroused, Father? Only to be left hanging?”
I snarled at him.
“I can’t reach his mind either.” Lucius
butted in. “Maybe he went out of
Kalmerus or this realm.”
“You are well aware that I can reach you
even in the heavens.
“1
“Unless he shuts off his mind,” Lucius.
smirked at him.
“Lucija, what have you done?” Lucien
asked me.
“I’m not lying. We were talking and kissing, and he disappeared. I will let you touch my
mind and see if these are lies. I
don’t know where he went. He just
disappeared.”
Father’s eyes blazed red. His hand was raised and was now in front of my face. ”
Let me in.”
Everything I told him about Guillermo since I appeared in the room was the truth. And
since he could not dig deeper other than knowing if these were lies, I was hoping I didn’t
blow us all out.
He touched my forehead with all his fingers before he withdrew and shot fire
in every corner of his office so that we were engulfed in a big flame while cursing Hades.
“Find him!” He roared.
“Me?” I asked innocently.
“No!” He turned around abruptly and
looked at Lucius. “Find him!”
“I’m not his fucking babysitter!” Lucius grunted before he disappeared.
“Father, are we going to cancel the Cleansing later if we can’t find him?” I
asked the moment we were left alone,
drawing his attention back to me.
A wicked smirk etched his face as he
curled a finger under my chin and titled
my head up to meet his blazing gaze. No, my child. You can’t get away from
your duty. If Guillermo does not return on time, you will be mating with Lucius.
Isn’t this what you wanted?”
