Chapter 22
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon
022 â Confused State ADAN STONE.
Lucy and I were still lying down on the cold floor. Her head and shoulders were slanted against my chest. My hand was o n her stomach, caressing and trailing my fingers on her soft skin while she played with her hair.
We stayed silent for a while, but it didnât seem boring. It felt calm, just exactly what I needed.
I knew she was anything but ordinary.
Too far from Omegas I spent time with.
Others would cover themselves up after w e were done with the deed, but Lucy was confidently splayed out naked beside me, not caring in the world that I could see and touch her body.
But I liked her that way.
âAlpha...â Her sweet voice snapped me out of my thoughts. â...are they not going to look for us? I mean for you?â
âAre you throwing me out after you used my body?â I asked her back. A smug smirk crossed my face as I slipped my arms under my head.
Lucy giggled softly before she turned her body around and propped an elbow on the cold, wooden floor, and rested her chin on her knuckles while she stared at 1. Her eyes were beaming, and it was making my heart flutter. I was enjoying the happiness radiating from her face.
âIf itâs up to me, Iâll wrap you around me.
But then youâre an Alpha, you have a task bigger than being annoyed by an Omega.â
I licked my lips before I pulled one hand under my head and touched her arm, rubbing it gently.
â
âAre you not cold? The floor is cold... and youâre naked.â I was concerned she might get too cold because she didnât have a wolf yet, and this was the north. I was not even sure if she was born here and could adapt to the cold weather.
âIâm not cold. I have a really hot Alpha beside me. Heâs keeping me warm.
âHmmm, you think Iâm hot?â
âYes. Really hot. Sizzling...â She gestured with her free hand, and I captured it before entwining my hands with hers.
Her body stiffened at my action before she relaxed, and I couldnât blame her. I didnât know why I did it either. Maybe she was a witch and was using some sort of spell on me because I couldnât fucking control myself around her.
âAlpha...â
âHmmm...â
âDo you think Iâm hot?â
I chuckled as my hand played with her hand on mine. âAre you flirting with me?
âNo. I was just asking. I was just wondering how long until you get tired of me.â
âAre you already planning how to run away from my pack?â
âIf I am, I wonât be telling.â A teasing smile curled on her lips, and before I could stop myself, I already pushed my body up and cupped her face as I smashed my mouth against her, kissing her again.
She moaned softly as she moved from her position and straddled my lap. My erection was prodding against her core, and if I pushed forward, I would be inside her again in no time.
But my Beta decided that now was the best time to mindlink me.
âAlpha? Are you still in the territory?â
âYes. Why?â
âI thought you were on your way to the city, but when I checked the border, they said you hadnât passed yet, and I saw your car in the parking lot.â
âSo obviously, Iâm still here.â I answered sarcastically.
My mouth was full of Lucyâs breast, and my perfect Omega was grinding her pussy against my already hard cock.
âWhere are you? Will you still head out?â
âTraining hall. And no, weâll go tomorrow.
âWhat are you doing there?â
âFor fuck sake, Iâm training Lucy to get her wolf out. Can we talk later?â
âWell, I canât see you around the training hall unless you were training in the female locker room.â
âFuck off!â
âI will. See you at dinner, Alpha. Or let me know if you would rather have someone bring dinner for you so you can spend the whole night trying to make Lucyâs wolf come out.â He chuckled at his reply, and I didnât respond to him anymore so as to not prolong the conversation.
I wasnât giving a fuck if he knew what we were doing here.
âAre you still mind linking someone?â The Omega asked, with her lips slightly pouting. She had stopped grinding against me already, but her hands were still on my shoulders. She looked like a jealous girlfriend.
âDone. Whatâs with the face? Itâs my Beta.
âOh... I thought one of your Omegas.â
âOne of my Omegas?â
âI donât know how many you have.â She answered, shrugging her shoulders.
âI only have one. And sheâs straddling me right now, and I think sheâs throwing a tantrum.â
She shook her head, her mouth open as she tried to find words to say. âI was just asking. I know I shouldnât, but sometimes I canât control my mouth.â
âI can tell.â I scoffed.
And then it hit me all at once. This Omega was getting too comfortable and I was just letting her. Soon, I would be like a puppy doing her bidding. I didnât want anyone to control me. Especially not a female.
âGet off of me.â
Her face warped into a confused expression. âAlpha?â
âGet off of me. And put your clothes on.â
My voice sounded too cold, but it had to. She needed to know her place. 2 She didnât say anything and just did what I asked her to. I didnât waste any time and grabbed my pants. I saw her scouring the area for her clothes before her eyes.
landed on her ripped shirt. I threw my shirt at her at the exact moment she looked at me and it landed on her face.
I turned around and walked to the door, unlocking it before I spoke. âIâll see you a t the packhouse.â
And then I just left. I didnât wait for her to say anything.
I knew that was an asshole move, but itâs what Iâve been doing with every female, so it shouldnât concern me. She needed to know her place and I needed to hold on to my control.
Sheâs just an Omega. Sheâs not my mate. Sheâs not my Luna. I kept repeating this t o myself, trying to justify the treatment I gave her. 2 I walked out of the training building and went straight into the forest lines. I had no intention of going back to the packhouse at the moment. I wanted time to think so I could put my life back in order.
I began running, on my feet, letting the wind shut my mind off.
In moments like this, I miss my wolf. I miss sharing my innermost thoughts with him. I felt alone â I had no wolf that could help pacify the confusion inside me.
