BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 132

132 – Goddess of the Moon

ADAN STONE.

“Enough, Lucy.”

I spun her body around to face me.She was in a rage – I just wanted her to hear me out – but it

seemed my little demon couldn’t be restrained.

“If you think I will let this go by, you’re wrong, Adan…No one can take what is rightfully mine!”

She was almost growling, and just when I was about to tell her again to calm down, she disappeared

right before my eyes.

“What the fuck?”

I growled as my eyes dilated before my gaze caught Lucius.

“Where the fuck did you take her?”

“I didn’t do anything! Stop growling or I will cut off your throat!”

He snapped at me.

“Tell me where did Lucy go?”

“I don’t know! Fucking calm down and let me check!”

I tried to connect with her mind, but I couldn’t reach her.I knew she could transport herself to a long

distance from here, maybe outside of Kalmerus, but the idea of not knowing where she went was killing

me.

“Calm down.She’s with Hades…”

Lucius’ voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

“The fuck! Can we go there?”

“No.We can’t just go there without being summoned by Hades.It’s not like knocking on someone’s door

to be let in.”

“Were you able to reach her?”

“Yes.She’s safe.They’re talking…”

“Is it fucking bad I don’t want to believe you?”

I grunted as I punched the pillar beside me, but the fucking pillar didn’t even crack as if it could hold its

own strength.

“No offense taken.Come sit.”

He sat by the steps that led to his throne and tapped the space beside him.I didn’t have time to think

when my body was transported to the spot where he wanted me to sit.

The fucking demon thought it was okay to move me without my permission.I was about to growl at him

when he handed me a cigarette.

”Take this before you bite my head off.”

I took the cigarette and flicked my fingers to light it, as Lucius did with his.

We looked like two men sitting by the steps watching passersby, but in reality, the only thing we could

see were the walls of the throne room.

“She’ll be fine.Hades will never hurt her.”

“How sure are you?”

“Hades, unlike my father, is not greedy for power.He fairly governed this realm, and he had always had

a soft spot for females.

“Shouldn’t I be more worried about that?”

“He never abuses females.Just relax.She’ll be back here before you know it.”

“I want to follow after her.”

“I can tell that.”

He rolled his eyes.

“Lucy is a strong female.Sometimes, you need to trust that she can fight her own battle.”

“I never doubt what she’s capable of.

It’s the Alpha in me that wants to protect her and make sure she’s okay all the time.”

“Weird.”

He scoffed mockingly while puffing on his cigarette.

“What’s fucking weird about that?”

“Nothing.You’re just fucking too possessive.”

“Have you felt strongly for someone?” I asked him.

“Aside from lust? No…”

“Maybe you haven’t met the female who will change that.I never felt this way until I met Lucy.”

“Are you saying that after you met Lucy, you never lusted after or fancied any other female?”

“No.”

He laughed before he turned his head to look at me.

“I won’t tell Lucy.Man to man.From one demon to another demon.Tell me the truth.”

“I just told you the truth.Ever since I met Lucy, I never looked at any other female the same way

again.In other words, I no longer find any females attractive.”

“Do you think it’s possible that you will only desire one female for the rest of your life?” Lucius asked,

the mockery gone from his voice.

“Yes, I see it around me.My parents, my grandparents…”

“You’re talking about less than 100 years.You’re no longer a regular shifter.Your lifespan has more than

doubled, if not tripled.You could live for centuries.Do you think you won’t get tired of Lucy?”

“Why are you asking that? Do you want me to cheat on your sister? we “No, and I don’t fucking care.I

just don’t think it’s possible to stay loyal to someone.”

“It’s not me we’re talking about now, right?”

I chuckled as I rested my arms on my knees.

He remained silent while puffing smoke from his mouth.

“Do you like her? Or was it all lust?” I asked, wanting to make sense of his actions.

“If it’s just lust, I’ve fucked her brain out already…”

“So you know it’s something else…”

“I don’t have a name for it.It’s just that…”

He stopped and pursed his lips instead.

“It’s just that?”

“I wish I knew how she could warm up to me…She hates me.”

“Not you.She hates the underworld…”

“It’s the same thing.I’m one of the kings of the underworld.Underworld and I go together.”

“So you’re just going to give up now?”

“What’s left to do?”

“If I had abandoned Lucy because your father despised me, I wouldn’t be sitting here next to you.”

“I’m not a chivalrous man who has the patience to run after someone who doesn’t want me.Lucija likes

you, it’s different from mine.”

“I was sure Lucy and I didn’t feel this way before.Sure, there was attraction, and lust played a big part,

but we didn’t get where we are now because we just let things happen.I fought for Lucy every fucking

day, in small and big ways.As simple as making sure the breakfast would always have the French toast

she couldn’t get enough of or selling my soul to your main man.Lucy is worth every fucking storm and

tornado I’ve been through.”

He remained silent, so I kept talking.

“And I know what I saw in the cave while you were dying down there.Patrea may not share the same

feelings, but she cares about you.”

“What feeling are you talking about? I don’t have any feelings aside from rage and lust.”

He chuckled.

“Yeah, whatever.Deny it all you want, I’ve been there and done that.You can fool everyone but

yourself.If you want the girl, go get her.Work hard to get her, not by fucking force or magic.Win her

heart.”

“I don’t even have a heart.”

“You don’t, but she has.So whatever the fuck you want to call that part of you that was longing for her,

I’m fine with it.Just go, get the girl, because a king without a queen is just a useless piece of a

castle.Look at how fucking empty this tower looks.”

“I’m a fucking demon, I don’t like lights and glitters and all that shit.”

“Because you haven’t experienced it yet.Try spending time with her.Not in this tower, just anywhere

with her, and then come back to me and tell me you don’t want these glitters and shit.Before Lucy, I

was convinced that I was not made for cuddles and kisses, but fuck, man, if she asks me now to spend

the entire day just hugging her, I will abandon my task and do it in an instant.”

“I hate it when you try to act older and wiser than me.”

“I know that.I hate you too.Period.”

“Good.At least we are clear on that.”

He chuckled.

“You have no idea how she feels about you, but I’m sure she likes you better than Lucien.”

Lucius’ laughter echoed around the hall as he shook his head, flicking his cigarette away from his

fingers, but it disappeared even before it hit the floor.

“Am I supposed to feel good about that? ’’m sure she likes Simon too, or even a fucking worm better

than Lucien.”

My bad.

That was supposed to be a statement to boost his ego, but it came out wrong.

Soon, I was joining him as we laughed, although my heart was still not at peace.

I was so eager to see Lucy and make sure she was okay.

LUCY.

“I’m taking Lucy with me…We’re leaving.”

Selene calmly said this as she glided toward me, floating in the air.She and Hades exchanged some

words that I couldn’t understand because they were speaking in a foreign language.

They probably didn’t want me to hear any of them.

If anything, Selene was the one who was trying her best to keep herself calm, while Hades was just

relaxed all along as if nothing bothered him.

He, of course, had the upper hand in all of this.

“Wait, Selene.I don’t want to leave until I get Hades to give me his words that he will not touch Adan’s

soul.”

I explained as I remained in my spot, my eyes staring at the god of the underworld.He smirked before

he responded.

“The decision is yours, my child.Unless you accept that part I was offering, his soul is mine to take.”

“How many times do I have to tell you that Adan is my child? Not yours!” Selene told him, her eyes

glowing silver as she glared at him.

“Unless I gave you his soul, you have no right to own him!”

“Nice try, Selene.You can chew my ear off for the whole day, but it won’t change anything.”

“If l accept what you’re offering, will you let his soul go, and we can live here in the underworld together

as ordinary demons, not as lost souls after we perished?”

I wanted the full details.

“Yes…And you can be so much more.You and Adan possessed abilities beyond your wildest

dreams.Why do you think Selene wants you and Adan when she has many other special wolves?”

“I treat my wolves all the same…”

Selene hissed slowly.

“Lying won’t make you special in her eyes.So enough of this.”

He hissed back before turning his attention to me.

“How about we talk again someday? For now, let it go.”

“But what if the inevitable happens? What if Adan and I suddenly…

“I couldn’t say the words.

“Die?”

Hades completed it for me, as a wicked smile tugged on his mouth.

I could feel Selene’s aura getting stronger, but Hades was blocking it with his own.I felt like being

trapped in a war between them.

“If the inevitable happens, I will be fair.I will summon you once more to make your decision before I

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

send his soul to hell.”

“And you know by that time, she has no other choice but to accept it so she won’t be separated from

him! That’s how cruel you are! You manipulate good souls to do your bidding!”

Selene was enraged now, her entire body glowing.

“Enough, Selene.My patience is already running thin on you!”

“My patience with you has been long gone! Enough is enough!”

She glowered at him before she spun around to face me.

“Do not worry, my child.I will protect you and Adan, even if I have to use all my power to make you both

invincible so that death will never come your way and he will never get a chance to take your souls!”

Words were flowing out of her mouth like a smooth hymn, but the words were thorny.

“Selene!”

Hades roared, and I felt the hair on my skin stand up.

“You are not fighting fair!”

“You started it!”

She bellowed at him, and my eyes widened.She finally snapped.

I had always imagined Selene as prim and calm, but surely she despised Hades so much at this point

that her prim demeanor was already gone.

“There’s nothing wrong with my offer!”

“Except you’re using Adan as bait to make her agree! Release Adan from his contract and allow them

to choose their eternal fate!”

“No! ”

“Then we are done here!”

Selene stated firmly.

Soon, silver mist covered my body, and before I knew it, my body was hoisted up before it was dropped

on something hard.

I found myself on top of Adan even before I could blink.

He was on his back, in a very uncomfortable position, splayed out on the steps in front of Lucius’

throne.

“What the fuck?!”

Lucius hissed, he was sitting a few feet away from where we were.

My eyes locked with Adan’s and regardless of whether our position looked funny or weird, I couldn’t

find it in myself to smile.

My eyes watered as I coiled my arms around his neck and slammed my face on his chest as he moved

to sit us up.

“Are you okay?” He asked, and my heart felt warm at the softness in his voice.

I was only gone for a short while, but I missed him.

“Did Hades give back Adan’s soul?” Lucius asked.

“No.”

I shook my head, still clinging to my mate tightly.I heard Adan take a deep breath.

“But Selene said she would help us.”

“You met Selene?”

Adan sounded amazed as he cupped my face.

“I did…I met her before when I was younger.But the important thing is, she will help us.”

“How?” Adan asked, his brows furrowing.

“Can we go home first, I just want to be home now.”

“I don’t understand why you’re so riled up about Adan’s soul being here in the afterlife.Then choose to

be here too.”

Lucius stated.

Of course, he would never understand.He’s a demon, and most demons were expected to end up in

hell.

“And then what? I will see him but won’t feel anything for him? Our souls consuming all of the world’s

hatred and anger until we simply explode into oblivion? If that afterlife is okay with you, well, not for me!

There’s no question, I will go anywhere for Adan, even the depths of hell if I need to, but that doesn’t

mean I’m just going to let it happen.Not until my last breath.I will make sure our souls will never reach

hell.My soul might be tainted, and dark, but not Adan.He doesn’t deserve hell…”
