BEYOND THE DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Witch
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 1:BLADE’s POV.
A euphoric groan escaped from my throat as my hold on the female’s hips in front of me tightened. I was lying on my back while she was sitting on top of me, straddling my front with her hands on my chest, sending explosive sparks all over my body and drowning me in pleasure I had not experienced in a very long time.
This was pure bliss.
A smug smirk tugged on my mouth before I squinted my eyes, trying to have a clearer view of her because I couldn’t see her face at all.
Her long, dark plum hair was cascading over her, shadowing her face. But I was sure I had never encountered her before, yet she felt familiar.
But not knowing who she was was the least of my worries. I was more concerned about what we were doing. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a female in my arms, especially like this.
I knew I shouldn’t have anyone, yet I didn’t want to end this.
“Fuck!” I growled as my hips bucked faster, hitting her hard as she bounced on top of me.
I let my hand move, my fingers skimming over her naked skin. Her soft whimpers filled my ears, and just when I was reaching my peak, an earth-shattering scream ripped in the thin air, making my body rigid and all the hair in my skin rise.
I knew this scream.
I’d heard it for the last five years, and even after hearing it over and over again, the pain that came along with the scream never faded.
The female in front of me vanished instantly, and I fell with a loud thud before my body rolled over. I found myself lying on my stomach on the wet, muddy forest ground. My eyes roamed in the dark until they found what they were looking for.
“No!” I growled so loudly that I felt the earth shake underneath me.
My hand extended as the scene unfolded in my eyes.
I watched in horror as my mate’s body was flung in the air and landed on the ground with a deafening thud.
“No! No! No!” My grip on the dry leaves and twigs tightened as I scampered to raise my body and sprang to where Soledad was, snapping the necks of the wolves along the way until I reached her.
But I was too late.
Blood oozed out from her mouth and from the hole in her chest, pooling around her body.
My knees weakened as my whole world crumbled right before my very eyes.
They broke her.

I told the female who was kneeling in front of me in a cold voice. Her eyes widened with fear flitting across them. My face was void of any emotions as I stood up from the single couch I was lounging on and drew my trousers up, buttoning and buckling the belt in place before I walked to the other side of the room. The female, who was still on her knees, wiped the drool from the side of her mouth before she spoke, her voice trembling. "But, sir… let me try again if you didn’t like the…" "I said get out." My voice was l
LUCY. I was on my way to the main kitchen from the main floor of the house when I heard Manuel’s voice looking for Stella as he entered the kitchen from the exit door, making me stop in my tracks. I never liked Manuel. He was lazy as a pig but mated to a wonderful female. And I tried to avoid him as much as I could because we always clashed. And I was sure, if Stella was not around, I would have been kicked out of this orphanage a long time ago because of him. "Lucy is ready for the Omega Feast. Make sure she has the proper clothing to attend the ceremony." Manuel blurted out as his footsteps sounded on the kitchen floor. Stella was preparing dishes for the night’s dinner and I was supposed to come and help her. But instead, I hid in the walk-in cupboard so I could listen to more of their conversation. "What? What did you do?" Stella asked, and I could only imagine the frown on her face. "I listed her for the Omega Feast. They just checked her photo and she got accepted right aw
LUCY. "What are you doing?" Manuel’s eyes squinted as his gaze fell everywhere in my small, messy room while Stella was holding his arms to stop him from stepping inside. "I’m looking for some of my money. But I found it already. I just misplaced it." I answered nonchalantly as I began picking up my clothes from the floor and began folding them. "Stop with your lies. Were you in the kitchen earlier?" "What kind of question is that? Of course. I’ve been everywhere in this house. What’s going on?" I turned around and placed my hands on my hips as I tapped my foot on the wooden floor, my eyes shifting back and forth between them as if I was impatient to hear their replies. "Nothing, dear. I need help with dinner. Can you come down and give this old lady a hand before the pups come and attack me from hunger?" Stella spoke sweetly, but I saw worry and concern in her eyes. Something was about to happen. "Sure. I’ll just pick all these up and throw them on my bed, then I’ll go down. Ju
***FLASHBACK.***Underworld.Lucy - 13 years old. LUCY. My hands were too red and itchy now. I’d been doing target shooting using fire for the last hour and I was getting tired of it. I blew up the whole line of target range before I walked out of the pit where I was practicing. I reminded my mentor, Gargon, not to say a word to my father, or I would blow up his face next time. No. I was not scared of anyone. Despite my stubbornness, I was my father’s favorite. He doted on me and no one was allowed to touch me. But I didn’t say I didn’t get punished - I did. But only he was allowed to punish me. I jumped over the hurdles of fire before I was able to reach the fields that smelled like burned coals and grounds. Demons take pleasure in smelling anything that burns, especially flesh being burned, and although I didn’t fancy it, I was getting used to it by now. Another boring day. I wondered when my father would take me to see other creatures again. My father’s capacity to travel in
LUCY. "Wear that." A female gave me a paper bag and my eyes darted to it for a while before they went around the room. I was sharing a small room with nine other Omegas, and they were also handed paper bags. The others were excited as they chattered and compared the clothes they got — skimpy ones. I closed my eyes as I steadied my breathing. Why did I not run away in the last five days? Why did I think it would be easier to escape when a pack already owned me? Among the nine females I was sharing a room with, only one shared the same sentiment as me. We didn’t want to be part of this feast. The others were too excited. They said they had nothing to lose, so it was better to lose everything to an Alpha or a rich man. I wondered what they thought about mates because they never seemed to care about it. Whereas I would do everything just to be given a chance to find mine. "What are you two waiting for?" The older female named Cora, who gave the paper bag to me, shifted her glaring e
LUCY. My eyes locked with the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen in my whole life and I felt my whole world stop spinning. His eyes were mesmerizing, and despite the frown on his face, he looked like a god, frowning at me, making my core throb all at once at the fierceness on his face. "Move…" A female hissed behind me, pushing me forward, and I just realized I had stopped dancing. I jolted out of my reverie, my eyes darting around the stage at the other females, trying to figure out where we were in the dance. My heart was thudding loudly. I had never, in the life of me, lost focus, even in a time of danger, but seeing this man, in a split second, all my senses went out the window. My cheeks burned, not out of embarrassment but because I didn’t like the way that the attention was all on me now since I was just standing, not knowing what part we were dancing to. Until another Omega danced her way through me and took my hand, swaying it with her before she twirled me around, whisper
LUCIA. Dark Blue Eyes was approaching, but his eyes were on Mr. Asshole, a smug smirk plastered on his face. 1,100,000 Another flashed on the screen and the asshole cursed and brushed his hand over his hair before he started pressing his tablet again. All the while, all my hopes of being bought by Dark Blue Eyes flew out of the window. He had no tablet with him. He was not bidding. He might be the organizer. Or… Goddess, he might be Olivia’s mate. My heart clenched and I had no idea why I was hurting. My eyes watered as I dropped my gaze down, but I saw the screen move. Mr. Asshole bid over again. 1,300,000 "Getting frustrated, Ethan?" The deep baritone voice sent shivers down my spine, but this time, it was a shiver of pleasure. Even without looking, I knew it came from him. "Me, frustrated? Watch and learn, Stone." A cocky grin flashed across Mr. Asshole’s face. Stone. What kind of name was that? 1,500,000 The screen flashed, but I was wondering if Ethan - Mr. Asshole, sa
LUCY."I just want to know if you’re worth the fucking 1.5 million and worth putting my life on the line!" He growled at me.Instead of being terrified, something in me snapped. My eyes squinted and before I could stop myself, I was already yelling back at him. "But who the hell told you to accept the duel? We could have just walked away!"My anger surprised him, but I had no idea if it left him speechless or furious, because his face turned stoic as he stared at me.My hands clamped over my mouth before I was able to gather myself and apologize. "I’m sorry, Sir…""Alpha." His tone was too cold."I’m sorry, Alpha."He bought me on impulse, and now that he was given a chance to back out, he wanted to know if I was worth the 1.5 million. I needed to do something. I think I could tolerate his anger versus that perverted man out there.He was still not saying anything and was just looking at me. And I knew I should be acting terrified, but I was not acting this time. My hands were really
