Just one right now. I'm not sure if I can add more later, but we will see. Again, just to make sure that you are all aware, due to the holiday season and me, trying to finish Under The Moonlight (PART2 of the book) before Christmas, my update time for Beneath Her Darkness will be all over the place, but I will still try to update daily until I take a holiday/Christmas break. ♡ Thank you for all the comments and gems! ♡
LUCIUS. I appeared in the exact room where Patrea was. It was morning in the human world, and the witch had just come out of the shower, based on the way her hair was still dripping wet. And, yes, I did catch her in her towels. Although seeing a portion of her skin gave me a lust rush, I tried not to show how much she was affecting me. "What are you doing here?" She snapped at me as her grip on her towel tightened. "Checking on you," I answered nonchalantly. "Oh, spirits! Leave me alone, Lucius. I didn't wish to leave your realm just for another demon as annoying as you to follow me around." "Instead of quacking like a duck, why don't you turn around and go back to the bathroom and put clothes on? Unless, of course, you want to put in a show for me!" "For you? Until hell freezes!" "I can make it freeze in hell today... Don't challenge me if you're not going to do your end of the bargain." I slightly bounced to my feet and glided in the air before moving my body to lay down in
ADAN STONE. My mind still couldn’t wrap up everything that was presented to me during lunch. I had attempted to walk out three times during the conversation, but all the time my father and grandfather were using respect to restrain me from walking away. I had no idea what the fuck they were playing at by telling me I’d found my mate because I couldn’t remember her at all. And the worst thing, she was a part demon. Who the fuck on earth would believe me if I told anyone — friends or comrades — that my soon-to-be Luna is the spawn of a demon straight from the pits of hell? The fuck? I wanted to believe my family had totally lost their minds if my Beta and Gamma were not included in their games. I knew Collin and Kingston’s loyalty would always be on me so I just couldn’t disregard what they were telling. Yes, at this point I trusted my Beta and Gamma, but this was so hard to believe, and for a moment, I had to verify it was not April 1 and that anytime they would all jump out and sa
ADAN STONE. I threw another jab at the punching bag when the first memory surfaced in my head. [Flashback.] Collin opened the arena door where the Omega Feast was being held, and my ears perked up at the sultry music playing around. I scoffed, ready to bolt out of this place when my gaze caught her eyes. The female with long black hair wearing almost nothing but a shiny, gold-colored bikini top and thong covered with a thin layer of cloth that served as a skirt caught my attention despite the fact the stage was swarming with beautiful Omegas. I knew it was just a memory, but my heart thudded loudly at the sight of her. It was as if I were seeing her for the first time, although Beast had shown me a glimpse of her today. Was this how I felt when I first saw her? She looked like an angel, and I couldn’t stop staring at her just by looking at Beast’s memories. [Flashback.] Her rounded, watery eyes were looking at me as she kneeled in between my legs while I fucked her mouth after I
LUCIUS. It had been three cycles [days], and my father had never left Kalmerus. All the time he was putting on that fucking hologram to check on Stone, and it was now annoying me. He also knew Lucija was mastering skills, and he would watch her from time to time. If I thought he would be bothered by Lucija acquiring advanced skills, I was wrong. He looked like he was enjoying it. His action confused the hell out of me. But then I realized he probably wanted Lucija on his side. So he was pampering her, giving in to all her whims except for anything related to Stone. I wondered how long it would be before he would realize that Lucija never wanted to stay. Earlier, I went to see her while on training, and I found our father watching her with awe in his eyes. Lucija was able to seamlessly change her shape into that of other demons. We called this shapeshifting, and only royal and high-ranking demons had this ability. It took me a while to get this, but it only took a day for her, which
ADAN STONE. Every day had been routine for me, and I still didn't have the answer we were looking for. Collin told me that maybe we needed help from the same witch that put a shield in the territory, and that's what we were about to do today. He said her name was Althea. So I had to arrange to meet with someone who would look for her in places they thought she would go because I couldn't reach Blade at the moment. But I didn't tell my parents or grandparents about this plan. I needed to ask Althea questions without anyone interfering. "You didn't eat anything." Mom followed me after I left the dining table. Aside from her and Dad, Pops and Momma also moved back to the packhouse. They called it family solidarity. I called this invasion of space and babying the Alpha. "I don't have an appetite at the moment, but I can always grab a meal on the road." "Okay. But don't go hungry." "Mom, I'm 28," I grunted, and she stopped following me, but I could hear her giggling. If anythin
PATREA. I watched as Lucius tried to pacify Alpha Stone. I knew I could easily protect myself, but the last thing I wanted was to hurt the Alpha if he attacked me because he was not the enemy here, so I was thankful Lucius was taking a stand to stop him. I still had no idea what Lucius had in mind. He never shared his plan — either he didn’t trust me or he had no concrete plan at all. But maybe he just didn’t have time to tell me yet since he only showed up today. "Not just any demon. I want you to practice taking my form." Lucius told Alpha Stone as if he were just telling him to shop for new clothes. I was trying to keep my silence, but I couldn’t keep it this time. "Are you planning to bring him to the underworld again and pretend to be you?" "Relax, I will lay out all the plans tomorrow, but first we need his memory back. That way he will remember things about the underworld, and I don’t need to spend hours explaining them to him." "But how will you bring him there?" "That’
LUCY."And what’s the problem with that?" Father asked as if he was just asking why I wasn't eating my vegetables."I am doing whatever you want me to do, but being mated to Guillermo is going too far. So no, I am not doing that." I only had one mate. There was no way I would let another man touch me."You can choose between Guillermo and Lucius. But Lucius is still weak. You and Guillermo will make a strong ruler of Kalmerus." "I don’t need a man to stand beside me. I can rule this kingdom without Guillermo or anyone." I answered bravely as I adjusted my hair, making sure the mark Adan gave me was not visible. I had tried to cover it up with some simple demon magic, but I couldn't perfect it. I had to ask Lucius how he hid Adan's mark - if only he would show himself to me."You don’t even know many things in this realm, and having Guillermo around would help you.""But you’re still here. You can teach me. Stop pushing Guillermo or I will just cut myself off and end all of this.""En
ADAN STONE."Alpha Fabian, I'm glad to see you again." I greeted the Alpha of the Silver Crest the moment I stepped out of the car in front of his packhouse.He took and shook my hand as he responded. "Pleasure is mine, Alpha Stone. I thought Blade would come with you.""Is he not here?" I asked, my brows furrowing."No. It’s been over a year since the last time he showed up here. So when I heard he was in your territory weeks ago, I was hoping he would come and check on me.""I have no idea where he is at the moment." It was the truth. The trackers I sent to contact Althea reached Collin with the news that Althea was at the Fortuna Coven but Blade was not."Typical Blade. I would be the last one on his priority list." He let out a sigh before he flashed a smile, something that didn’t reach his eyes. "Anyway, enough about my brother. My Beta will show you the area you can use. It’s in the middle of the forest, away from the residential area, and usually not visited by my people. So it’
