BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 33

033 – Darling Lucy

ADAN STONE.

Lucy was still asleep even after breakfast. Maybe I worked her really hard overnight, but I couldn’t stop myself. Six days without her felt like fucking years.

But as much as I wanted to just cuddle with her today, I let her sleep and continued with my day as usual. I was on the other side of the territory, checking the trees being cut by big tractors that would supply the woods for this part of my territory.

I actually had no business here. I had men who managed the wood-cutting section to make sure the whole territory had enough for the whole winter, but I never slacked off when it came to my pack. I checked everything I could with my own eyes and let them know that I expected the utmost service for every task assigned to them.

So far, there have been no problems here. This part of the territory had abundant trees, unlike the rest, where I had to make sure we continued to plant and cultivate young ones so the future generation would have something left for them.

‘Alpha Stone?’

‘Yes, Laira?’

‘You have guests waiting for you here at the packhouse. They will be staying for lunch?’

‘So they invited themselves to lunch? Are these my parents? Tell them I’m still busy, but I will visit them soon.’

‘No, Alpha. Your parents and grandparents went directly to their estate so they could rest. Alpha Aeon and Luna

Alexa are here with their pups. They wanted to stay here at the packhouse.’

No wonder Dad requested that Gamma Kingston pick them up at the airport. My niece and nephew were with them, and we all never slacked off when it came to the pups’ security.

‘Why was I not informed they were coming?’

‘We were not aware as well, Alpha. Even Gamma Kingston was surprised to see them at the airport.’

‘Hmmm…’

‘Alpha, Luna Alexa insisted you come home right away.’

‘She’s still as demanding as ever. I’ll be there soon.’ I grunted, but I smiled at the thought of my cousin, Alexa.

I had two female cousins, Alexa and Anya. And I adored both at the same level until Amara came along, Alexa’s daughter, who is now eight years old. Anya had yet to give me a niece. She had male pups too. And so was Sebastian, my only male cousin.

I had five male nephews and just one niece, so Amara was definitely the princess of the family. I spoke for a while to the man in charge and commended him for a good harvest this month before I asked for a lift for anyone crossing to the other side of the territory.

I went here the same way, on my own, without anyone driving me. In the ten years that I was Alpha of the pack, my people were already used to my unannounced visits, which kept them on their toes because I never tolerated laziness.

I jumped out of the Range Rover I hitched with on my way back to the packhouse and entered the house with big strides.

It had been two years since the last time I saw Amara and Alonso. I had declined invitations from Aeon and Alexa or the others from the South, knowing I would only be bombarded with questions about finding a Luna.

“Where are my prince and princess?” My voice echoed inside the packhouse as soon as I entered.

Soon, I heard the shuffling of little feet before a girl’s shrieking voice erupted from the dining hall.

“Dada!” Amara screamed before she appeared in the entryway, where I was waiting for them. She was running at full speed toward me, and I immediately bent my knees and extended my arms to catch her. She flung her body at me, and my hands caught her and hoisted her up before hugging her tightly, swiveling my body around like she always wanted when we hugged each other.

“How’s my little princess?” I pulled her body away so I could see her face.

Amara’s wavy blonde hair was an exact replica of Alexa’s, but her looks were a mixture of her parents, depending on the angle from which you looked at her.

“I’m good! My legs are getting stronger, I can run a long, long way now!”

“Perfect! Maybe you can race with me next time and see if you can beat me!”

“I can run with Beast! I’m sure I will beat him!” I chuckled, but my heart hurt a bit.

Beast was also one of the reasons I didn’t visit them in the last two years – without my Beta and Gamma around me, I didn’t want to risk accidentally shifting in front of my nephews and niece and putting them at risk.

“I’m not sure Beast is up for that. He’s been lazy lately.”

“Bad Beast!” She frowned, her fingers pointing and shaking at my face.

And I felt my eyes dilated, and soon, my little niece cupped my face and rested her nose against mine, her eyes looking straight into my eyes. “Don’t be lazy, Beast. We need to play!” 1

I chuckled and swung her body, so I ended up carrying her with one hand as I looked at the rest of her family around the dining table. Alonzo was on his mother’s lap, clinging to her but looking at me like I was a monster.

I was sure he barely remembered me. He is four now, and the last time I saw him, he was only two.

The moment my attention was shifted from Amara to her family, Alexa stood up from her chair and went up to me. One arm opened wide as she gave me a hug.

“How are you, grumpy old man?”She asked at the exact moment both my Beta and Gamma entered the dining room. Their females were already seated.

I pressed a kiss on her cheek before placing my hand on the back of her head and hugging her for a quick second. “You and Aeon are older than me. So I’m not the old one here.”

Aeon was already in front of me, and we shook hands and threw some inside jokes before Amara jumped into his arms, which was a relief. I was not used to having anyone cling to

The fuck! I forgot about Lucy.

‘Where is Lucy?’ I sent Laira a mindlink.

“So are you not going to ask why we’re here with no notice?” Alexa asked at the same time as we all proceeded to our places at the table.

‘She hasn’t come down yet. Do you want me to take her here for lunch?’ Laira replied and asked.

‘No.’

“No idea. Just visiting?” I answered Alexa as I sat and leaned back on my chair. ” How many days are you staying?”

“Maybe five days,” Aeon answered this time as she helped Amara choose her food.

“Don’t you have a pack to run?”

“It’s not every day that we get to hear that the Alpha of Mystic Pack brought home a girlfriend. So, we’re here to check. Alexa answered with a wide grin etched on her face.

My jaw tightened as I opened a mindlink to my Gamma and Beta and their females.

“Who the fuck let it out?’

‘Not me.’

‘No idea, Alpha.’

I cut off the mindlink right away. I would still find out late. “Well, you heard wrong.

‘Laira, go up and make sure Lucy doesn’t come out until I say so.’ I immediately sent her a mindlink as soon as I replied to Alexa.

“Seriously, Adan? We traveled all the way here and left our pack, and now you’re not going to introduce her to us?”

Laira excused herself from the table and was about to move away from her chair when a loud running footstep erupted in the air, and they were coming closer.

Fuck me now!

There was only one person running around in this packhouse.

All eyes darted to the dining room entryway, and in seconds, my beautiful Omega showed up with a wide smile on her face while my jaw tightened.

The last thing I wanted was for them to find out I bought her at the Omega Feast.

“Look, who do we have here?” Alexa’s voice was chirpier this time as she propped an elbow on the table and rested her chin on her knuckles, her eyes focusing on Lucy. “Isn’t she a beauty, Aeon?”

The smile on Lucy’s face disappeared as her eyes shifted around the table until they fell on Alexa. Her mouth opened as my forehead creased, confused by her reaction.

“Alexa?” She said it in almost a whisper, and my eyes darted to my cousin.

Alexa’s brows furrowed before she smiled at her. “You know me?”

Lucy’s body perked up as she put a hand on her chest. “Don’t you remember me? Darling Lucy?!” a

Alexa’s face paled as she pushed her chair back, creating a loud screeching sound, and stood up. “Oh, Goddess! Lucy!”
