Chapter 68
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon
068-A Demonâs Bite ADAN STONE.
âWrap it up? With you watching? Are you fucking fucked up?â I growled again, my hands coiling into fists. If Lucy were not here, I would be throwing punches at him already.
âLucija, stop me, or Iâm going to shred this man into pieces.â He hissed at me, his eyes darkening before they blazed red.
âDo it then!â I snapped back at him. I knew I could end up dead in seconds, but who the fuck appreciates being disturbed in the middle of having sex?
âCan you both calm down?â Lucy let out a loud sigh, making my head snap back at her.
âCan you cover yourself!â I growled at her.
She was clutching the sheets over her body, but I could still see the roundness of her upper breasts, and I didnât give a fuck if Lucius was her brother. For all I knew, demons had no concept of incest.
âI am covered!â Lucyâs brows furrowed.
Lucius flicked his fingers, and soon she had the same bodysuit Lucien gave her yesterday.
âBetter now?â He mocked me before he shook his head, looking annoyed.
I didnât answer, but a low rumble formed in my chest.
âCome now, letâs go, and stop growling at me, dog! Iâm not the enemy here!â
His words made me growl again, and I was about to fire back at him, but I felt Lucyâs hand on my wrist, tugging at it, so I would look at her.
âCalm down, Lucius is helping us.â She smiled warmly at me before she turned to face her brother. âLucius, can you turn around? Give us a minute.â
||
He hissed but didnât say anything. He turned around and walked to the big window, peeping outside.
My attention was drawn back to Lucy when I felt her warm, wet mouth take in my still- leaking cock and begin cleaning it up. My hand tightened around her hair while I stifled my grunts and watched my little demon as she smirked at me while she continued to suck me clean. 1 As soon as she was done, she stood up and kissed me hard, as if we would never see each other again.
âEnough, Lucija. We canât get caught.â
Lucius spoke again, and if I could only retrieve my claws, I would have had his neck. cut already.
Lucy nodded her head, but her eyes were fixated on me. âI love you. Stay calm down. there, and no matter what happens, we are a team.â 1 âI wish I could do more. I canât just stay tied up there until he kills me.â My breathing hitched as I cupped her face. âMaybe I should face him when he comes back. I want to negotiate with him.â
âHe never negotiates. But I can assure you, he wonât kill you. The witch bound our lives together. So just leave it to me to find a solution.â
âWhat do you mean? Bound us?â
âThe last spell she made it bound us â
together. If you die, I will too. And if I die, you die too. Iâm sorry. It is the only way I could think of a guarantee that my father will not touch or kill you once he realizes how important you are to me. But please donât tell him who did this to us, or she would be in danger.â
âLucy... I donât have eternal life... Youâre shortening your lifespan.â His eyes flitted with worry.
âI donât need eternity without you, Adan. Iâll be content to live in your lifetime... as long as I have you. But you need to be patient, it might take a while before we can be together.
âWhat do you mean? We have to make it out here alive, both of us. Iâm not leaving this realm without you.â
She swallowed hard as she stared back at me.
âEnough of the fucking drama, or I will leave you both alone to deal with Lucien.â Lucius snapped at us before he flicked his fingers again, and I felt air swipe all over my body.
âWhat the fuck was that?â I growled.
âI took out Lucijaâs smell on you. Letâs go.â He held my arm, and I knew I would be gone from here soon.
âI love you.â My eyes softened as I looked at my mate. Her eyes were pooling with tears, and they mirrored the same emotion I had inside.
âI love you too!â I replied back, and Lucy crushed her lips against mine. I savored her lips for a moment before I felt my body being sucked in, and I knew Lucius had taken me away.
Soon, I was back in the dark, damp cell, being tied up in chains. Although I didnât regret fucking Lucy the whole time, I wished we had talked more. But everything about my mate set me on fire, and I couldnât help touching her.
âWhat the fuck is that?â Lucius cupped my neck as he hissed lowly.
I swatted his hand away and glared at him, but his eyes were fixated on my neck where Lucy bit me.
âThe fuck!â He murmured lowly, but I saw his chest heave. His eyes were glowing a bloody red, and his face was deadly.
He didnât say any more words and just disappeared in front of me.
â¡â¡â¡
LUCY.
I was still in my bed, clutching the sheets tightly around me as I thought of my next move when Lucius suddenly appeared at the foot of my bed.
âOh, Goddess! Thank Goddess, youâre back! I need to ask you about something!â I smiled at him. I wanted to ask about the vein-
like tattoo that appeared on Adanâs skin after I bit him, but I didnât have time to ask as he began shouting at me.
âWhat the fuck were you thinking when you bit him?â I had seen Lucius mad before, but never with me. And tonight, he looked like he was beyond mad. He was furious.
I stood up from my bed and crossed my arms against my chest as I faced him. â Whatâs wrong with that? A demon is allowed to bite anyone they want.â
âYouâre a fucking royal! You could have killed him!â
âWhat?â My eyes widened as I stared at him in disbelief.
âYouâre fucking stupid, Lucija! You have strong demon venom, and it could kill anyone you bite!â
âBut he didnât die.â I was trying to convince myself that it didnât harm him.
âBut heâll probably end up dead soon!â
âDonât say that!â I yelled at him as my heart thudded loudly. âBut... but... does anyone survive a demon bite?â
Oh, Goddess! What have I done?
I felt my whole body heat up as my breathing hitched. I could see the candles flickering. âIs there a chance he will survive?
Lucius closed his eyes for a few seconds before he opened them. His expression went back to normal as his breathing slowed down.
âDonât tell Father that you marked him. No one has to know you gave him the demonâs venom. Am I understood?â
âBut why? I donât want him to die! If I need to beg Lucien to save him! I will do it!â If Adan died, I would as well. But I didnât want us to end our lives just because I was stupid.
Soon, the fire was on my palms and Lucius stared at them.
âAdan canât die! If I need to...â I wanted to repeat what I said about asking for help from Lucien but he cut me off this time.
âI said donât you fucking tell Father that you marked him!â He grabbed my arm and tugged on it, making my body inch closer to him. His eyes were blazing bloody red, and the deadly expression was back on his face.â Heâs not dead! It means he survived it!
It only takes five seconds before that venom kills its victim. So no need to tell Lucien about it! I will hide his mark, but you need to promise me you will not tell anyone about the mark!â
âWhat are you hiding from me, Lucius, that Iâm not allowed to tell Father about this?â
At this point, I had no idea who to trust. I knew my father wanted Adan dead and wanted me to transform into a full demon. But what about Lucius? What was his plan? Why was he so upset with me for marking Adan if he knew already that Adan didnât die from my venom?
âJust do what I said. Or I wonât be helping you and Stone out of here!â He snapped at me as he shoved my arm away from his clutch before he disappeared, leaving me with more questions than I had before.
