BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 41

041- The Beast and I

LUCY.

I stood outside the car that would drive the grand Alpha couple and Alexa’s family to the airport. Beside me were the Beta Couple and Lena. Gamma Kingston would be driving them and had taken some warriors on a convoy car.

But Adan was not here.

Momma wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheeks before she reminded me to give her a call from time to time, especially since Adan usually forgets to check on them. I nodded my head as I returned her hugs.

I had already said my goodbyes to Alexa and her family, and only Pops was left.

I swallowed hard as I looked at him, not sure if he still wanted me to call him Pops after the event in the library.

I turned my body to face him before I smiled at him. “Have a safe trip, sir.”

He opened his arms and hugged me, which made tears pool in my eyes. “Pops… I told you to call me Pops.”

“Yes, Pops.” I chuckled softly as my arms snaked around his body, and I hugged him back. “I’m sorry, Adan is not here. He was busy attending to something.”

I was lying. I had no idea where he was, and when I asked Beta Collin, he said he didn’t want to be disturbed.

“He already met us and said our goodbyes. Don’t worry about it. But remember what I told you. Keeping something from Adan won’t help you.” He whispered in my ear, and it made me close my eyes. “He deserves to know more about the female he is falling in love with.”

My heart began thudding loudly at his words. Does Adan love me?

He withdrew from hugging me and placed a soft peck on my forehead. “Send us the news if a pup is coming, and we’ll fly back home immediately.”

“Yes, please…” Momma added as Pop’s arm went around her.

“I don’t have a wolf yet,” I told them in a soft voice.

“I spoke to Elder Mercy, and she will visit you soon. In the olden days, they did rituals. and made herbal mixes to help the wolves within mature faster. So hopefully, she can help you.”

I nodded my head and smiled at the couple in front of me. “Thank you. I promise you’ll be the first to know if that happens.”

“No pressure, sweetheart. Take your time. Get to know each other well… and the pups. will come at the right time.” Momma added before she hugged me again.

I watched as the car drove off, and the moment they were gone from my sight, I turned my body around to face Beta Collin.

“Where is the Alpha?”

“He doesn’t want to be found at the moment. I’m sorry, Lucy.” Beta Collin answered.

“What’s going on?” I asked, my brows furrowing.

“The Alpha sometimes just wants to be alone. He’s fine. So just go on with your day and don’t mind him.” Laira smiled at me.

“Is he on a date with someone?” My heart clenched at the thought of him spending time with another female. Why would he refuse to see me if he was not busy with a female?

Beta Collin chuckled and shook his head. ” The Alpha doesn’t go on dates. And he has not spent any time with any females since he took you home. So relax. Like what Laira said, he just needs to blow off steam sometimes.”

“Blow off some steam? Was he angry or something?”

They just both shrugged their shoulders, and I just let out a sigh before turning my body around to head inside the packhouse. “Fine. I’ll just wait until he comes home.”

I was walking in silence when, all of a sudden, I heard a commotion from behind

I swiftly turned around and saw Beta Collin running toward the direction of the training grounds while some females were running past the packhouse heading in the other direction. My eyes met with Laira, who was rushing to where I was standing. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the packhouse.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“The Alpha shifted, there were many injured warriors already. Come let’s get you inside?”

“What?” I shoved her hand away from my arm as I stopped walking. “I need to go there.

“No, Collin’s instruction was to keep you away from there.” She held my arm again, pulling me to the packhouse.

“But if Beast is there, he will calm down. when he sees me!”

“No! Not now!” Laira’s voice was slightly higher as panic flitted from her eyes. “Let’s get you inside!”

“No!” I swatted her hand and turned my body around as I began running down the steps.

In seconds, Laira was blocking my way, and I was slowly getting pissed off.

“You can’t stop me!” I snarled at her.

“Fine! You want to know the truth! Listen! The Alpha is upset with you. That’s why he’s not here to say goodbye to his family! And maybe the reason Beast came out is that they’re upset with you!”

“What did I do wrong?”

“I don’t know! Collin didn’t say anything!

So, please… I beg you. Let’s go! Beast will surely attack…”

I didn’t let her finish her words as I skidded onto her side and ran. I was running my fastest, knowing Laira was also capable of running fast.

I had no idea why he was upset with me when we were on good terms during lunch. Unless Alpha Aurelius told him something about me lying. But he knew I would tell him sooner or later. And I was planning on telling him tonight, but of course, he couldn’t wait!

He needed to make some drama instead of demanding I tell it to him right away!

I kept running, and I knew Laira was on my heels, but I didn’t care.

The training ground was just 200 meters away, and soon, I could hear loud growls as I approached.

My feet came to a full halt when Beast came into full view. There were more than ten

wolves around him, but I could see him fully since he was the biggest and he was the only black wolf there.

My eyes scanned the whole quadrangle, and a gasp left my throat when I saw three naked men bleeding on the side. They were being carried off somewhere while more wolves blocked them, to shield them if Beast planned to attack the injured ones again.

My attention went back to Beast as he leaped and attacked one brown wolf while the others, including Beta Collin, kept bumping their bodies at him to steer him away from the wolf he was messing with, but he wasn’t budging.

Soon, Beast’s fangs bit down on the brown wolf’s neck, and it terrified me that he would kill him.

“No!!!” I just found myself screaming at the top of my lungs! And all eyes darted to me, including Beast.

He let go of the wolf and began running towards me as my eyes widened, knowing he was now aiming for me.

I kept moving my feet backward as I watched everything in front of me unfold. In seconds, all the wolves were already heading to form a wall in front of me, shielding me from his wrath, but Beast wasn’t stopping.

A loud growl shook the earth before he leaped too high, over the wolves barricading me, and landed with a loud thud exactly on my front.

Another loud growl erupted from his chest. His mouth opened wide with his fangs out, just a foot away from my face. His breath blew my hair back, but I stood still, my eyes still wide open.

“Hi!” I finally found my voice at the same time I saw wolves about to jump on his back.

“No!!!” I yelled as my body flung forward, my arms clutching to Beast as if I could grab him away from where he was standing.

But of course, I couldn’t! He was too damn big and heavy!

Beast must have realized what was happening that his paws caged my body as he dropped to the ground and rolled us over, with him covering me.

The wolves jumping on him missed his body and landed on the ground while Beast secured me under him.

“Stop!” Beta Collin shifted and stood between the other wolves, Beast, and me, and I couldn’t help but see his round ass. Beast’s front leg snaked around my face and covered my eyes as a growl rumbled from his chest. I started to giggle while the quadrangle fell silent until I realized I was the only one making noise.

Shit! They would think I was insensitive, laughing after what just happened. Since I didn’t know how to face them, I clutched my hands on Beast’s neck and buried my face in his fur.

Soon, I felt him moving and wriggling his body as if he wanted me to let go. But I wasn’t letting go.

If he was stubborn, I was more stubborn.

I didn’t want him to attack someone or be attacked again.

“Lucy, he wants you on his back.” Beta Collin’s voice reached my ears, and my head snapped in his direction.

And he was standing a few feet away from us, fully naked. But he wasn’t affecting me, I’ve seen too many naked men, and none of them came close to Adan, but I guess Adan didn’t know that. Soon he was growling again, shaking the earth and blowing my hair slightly in the opposite direction. And I was sure, if I was plain human, I would be deaf by now.

I snapped my head back to look at Beast before I stood up in front of him. He was baring his fangs at me, trying to look tough and angry, but he just looked like a boy wanting mommy’s attention.

I patted his head and smoothed my hand over his fur before I placed the tip of my nose on his snout. I could see the crowd in my peripherals holding their breath.

With our noses still touching each other and my hands cupping his jaw, I opened my mouth to talk to him. “I will ride on your back if you promise not to throw me away. Okay? Now lower your body so I can climb without any man’s help.” In seconds, Beast slumped his body to the ground, and the noise from the crowd began. I couldn’t help but smile and take pride in how he responded to my request.

Or was this the calm before he would eat me?

Well, it didn’t matter. Dying in the hands of

Adan and Beast didn’t sound so bad at all.

I swung my legs and positioned myself comfortably on his back, my hands clutching the fur on his neck.

“You need to lower your body when he runs so the wind won’t throw you back.” Beta Collin suggested, and I lowered my upper body, letting my stomach and breasts lay flat on his back as I wrapped my arms around his neck. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Beast stood up, and my hold on his neck tightened as he began springing toward the forest line.
