Chapter 109

BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 109 109 – Game On ADAN STONE.

Sweat formed everywhere on my body as Lucius gave me his final instructions for tonight. After this, I had to work with a limited conversation with him since he might need to transfer every thought Lucien would give him to me, especially during the rituals.

Rituals but, in my opinion, it was nothing more than a fucking open show in which everyone here would feast on my mate’s body.

I wasn’t sure if I was prepared for this, but I reminded myself that this is the demon world, where nakedness and sex out in the open were nothing to be ashamed of. But I was glad for once that Beast was still in slumber, or it would be harder to control both of us around our mate.

“From the expression on your face, you’re not liking this at all.” Lucius’ voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

“I thought we didn’t need to mate in there.” I sighed in disappointment.

“But you heard Lucien. He made a spell to ground Lucy there until she came. It’s just a fuck. Just get it over and done, and I can assure you, we see this every day, so regardless of who was there to watch, it was nothing unusual.”

“I know. I’ve seen similar things like this in the past. I’m just not ready to share that moment between me and Lucy with the world.

Even with demons.”

“That should be the least of your worries.

You have to make sure Lucy doesn’t run away from you, or you will look like you’re raping here.”

I let out a deep sigh and brushed my palm over my face in a torturous, slow motion.

Yes, I shouldn’t be thinking of the show. I should be thinking about how to get Lucy not to flinch away from me. The candy Patrea made didn’t work.

And the last thing I wanted was for Lucy to see me as Lucius while I touched her.

“Patrea can’t undo the other witch’s spell?” (1 “I can if I know exactly what she did there.

However, we don’t. All Lucius mentioned was that Lucy needed to feed the stone with her juices. But the thing is, what if there’s more? So we should keep Lucien in a nice mood until that part is over and Lucy is not bound to the stone...”

“I’m a Stone too.” I chuckled at my own joke.

Patrea rolled her eyes. “Oh, spirits, I don’t know how you both keep joking in times like this.” 3 “You’re so boring, Patrea. If we all die tonight, at least we get some laughs before it happens.”

“No one is dying tonight. Not me, or you, or you, or Lucy.” She pointed at all of us. “All the rest can die, but not us. Are we clear, boys?”

“Yes, Mom.” I chuckled.

“I knew it. You wanted a taste of me, too. Don’t worry, we will get there!” Lucius winked at her as a wicked, excited grin crossed his face. 2 I had no idea what it was about, but Patrea glared at him before walking away. “Suit yourself. I’m just doing something here. Do we still have time?”

“Not so much. The guests have began arriving. And...” He stopped talking for a while before he closed his eyes. “I guess this is it, folks! I am being summoned to the cove.

Lucius motioned for Patrea to come to him. ” Come, Patrea. I’ll take you where you need to be.”

She nodded, her eyes flitting with concern. I have no way to communicate with you, so please don’t keep me waiting there for eternity.”

“I won’t, and you have the coins. If somebody finds you, rub it three times. Now, if you just missed me, rub it once.”

“Seriously?” She huffed before turning to me. “Adan, I’m not sure if this will work. I have to try. I redid the potion and am hopeful this tablet will work better than the first one.”

“We can try quickly and see if it works,” Lucius suggested.

“The thing is, I had limited resources already, so I came up with just one. So it’s either a hit or a miss. It’s up to you if you want to use it later.”

I took the tablet from her hand and slipped it into my jeans pocket.

“You’ll be naked later. Don’t forget to grab that after you shapeshift.” Lucius reminded me, and I just nodded my head at him.

“Let’s go, witch, and start this party.”

He grabbed Patrea’s arm rather roughly, and the witch’s body spun around and slammed on his torso. They disappeared in an instant, and I began taking off my clothes and shapeshifting into Lucius’ form.

I stood before a full-length mirror and looked at Lucius’ naked body. It felt weird, but for the moment I had no desire to mock or make fun of myself.

I had better things to do.

I willed for my eyes to blaze red, as I’d seen Lucius do numerous times, and let a devilish smirk tug at my lips. If this was all I needed to do, there wouldn’t be a problem.

Now I had to keep my growl to myself, as I’d been trying to do, and reminded myself to hiss instead.

Well, this was it. Game on.

♡♡♡

LUCIUS.

I grabbed the witch’s arm so harshly that her body spun abruptly and caused her to collide with mine. I knew I was being rough, but I needed a little body contact before I got down to business. I had no fucking idea why I had the will to behave nicely in front of Patrea when I knew, with the charm I had, she would fall to her knees in seconds and do whatever I wanted.

Or not.

Maybe it was the latter that kept me from trying. I didn’t want her to reject me.

Because who the fuck could reject a demon prince of lust? Well, I was sure Patrea could.

Patrea was still holding on to me even after we got sucked into limbo and ended up where she should stay. I scanned the whole area, and when I was sure there were no living or dead souls around, I let her go.

“You’ll be safe here until we come for you.”

“Thank you.” She mumbled without looking at me.

“Don’t forget the coin.”

“I have it with me.” She smiled and raised the coin to In me lishe sm my face, but my eyes got stuck on her lips. The witch rarely smiled at me, or she had never smiled at me at all.

I swallowed hard before I spoke. “I need to go.”

“Lucius...” She spoke in a low voice. “I put a spell on the cloak so that whoever wears it doesn’t need to feel restricted by it.

Once you put it on, it will work like clothes. And if you want it gone, just strip it off your body. That way, you can move freely.”

A smile tugged at my mouth as I nodded my head. “Thank you.”

Her brows rose as a sarcastic smile curled her lips. “Did I just hear the demon prince thank me?”

“You said it first. I was just returning the favor.” I chuckled. Oh, Hades! I wanted to fucking kiss her and do many things to her.

“Sounds fair. Be careful.” I was about to disappear before her, but she stepped forward and planted a kiss on my cheek, and I felt my whole face burning.

I wanted to say something teasing her for stealing a kiss but the words got stuck in my “It’s okay. You don’t need to say anything. Just go.” She eckled softly as a scarlet tint cheer crept into her cheeks. At least I wasn’t the only affected by this.

I nodded at her and immediately transported my body back to where Stone was, slumping my ass into the couch while I stared at the naked Lucius in front of me.

“I assumed it went well. You look like you were in heaven.”

I snickered before shaking my head. There was no way I would tell him the witch’s kiss on my cheek had rendered me speechless. ” This is fucking weird that I see myself talking and smirking at me. But you’re doing well. Are you ready? We have a long night ahead.”

“Yes. I hope the candy will work, man.’

“I know. But just in case, just tell her to close her eyes.

“And you, let me know if you’ll move somewhere so I know where you are. reminded me.

He “Yes, sir.” I stood up from the couch and threw any images of Patrea out of my head. If I wanted to pursue her further, I needed to get this thing done. I grabbed the invisible cloak and covered my body with it, and I immediately saw and felt the difference.

This witch was just fucking perfect. And attractive. And fucking sexy. Oh, fuck me!

“Let’s go.” I grabbed Stone’s arm and transported us to the entrance of the cove. This was to give him time to check on the royals before he had to face my father.
