BRAVING THE DARKNESS: One Night With The Demon King
Author's Note: February 23, 2023
Hello, lovelies!
This is Book 2 of the INTO THE DARKNESS Saga and will feature Lucius and Patrea.
If you haven't finished Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon, I highly suggest you finish it first, as I will not be explaining how they got to this point. I'll pick up where they left off in Book 1 and move forward with only flashbacks to some important details.
Otherwise, you may continue reading, and I hope you will enjoy this one as well.
Thank you for giving their story a chance! ❤
xoxo, Cassandra M
P.S. I will announce the winner of the giveaways either tomorrow or on Saturday.

PATREA. I was naked. Blood was trailing down my thighs, but I ignored it, even if the pain was coursing through my whole body. My feet were tired from running, and my chest was heaving from panting, but I kept springing forward. I had no idea what creature was running after me, but I knew I needed to get away. "Aaaaah!" I screamed when my body fell into a black hole, and my stomach churned as I tried to grab something to hold on to. But there was nothing. I was falling endlessly, and I just wished for my body to crash somewhere, even if it meant death. Death was better than not knowing when the falling would end. "Patrea! Patrea!" I heard a female’s voice calling for me, making me force my eyes to snap open. I found myself staring into the dark purple eyes of my granddaughter. "You’re having another bad dream..." Althea, my eighteen-year-old granddaughter, helped me sit up from lying down before she took a glass of water from my bedside table and gave it to me. I remained si
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon B2 002 - Deal With The Demon
LUCIUS. I hid my aura and made myself invisible in the eyes of all the adults in this dining hall before I sat on the empty small chair at the kids’ table. The kids were able to see me, and since the adults were conversing on their own, they had no idea I was already having fun with their kids as they engaged me in their conversation. Ever since Lucija became the Luna of the Mystic Pack, Stone’s whole family has learned to accept me as part of theirs. In the beginning, I could feel the awkwardness and the uneasiness in the air whenever I would appear, but after seeing me too many times already within the last six months, they were getting used to my presence. I get invited to lunch and dinners, which I never decline, as long as Patrea is not there. I didn’t tell anyone I had no palate. That the food just melted on my tongue, and I had no idea what sweet, sour, or spicy tasted like. When it came to taste, all I could taste were the females I licked and sucked. And I was sure food
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon B2 003 - Let Me Stay
PATREA. "Let me stay with you and be a part of your daily routine for three weeks - which means I will live in your house and stay in your bedroom." My eyes widened before a soft chuckle escaped my lips. "Is this some kind of joke?" "I don’t joke, Patrea." The seriousness on his face immediately wiped the smile off my face. "You’re serious." "I don’t make deals as some kind of joke." He looked annoyed. "I’m not sure why you think this will work. I just got off from the underworld. For the last six months, I’ve been trying my best not to think of that part of my life, but I wasn’t succeeding. Everywhere I turn, it reminds me of that place. Even plants remind me of that place. I always compare." I couldn’t stop blabbing. "There are no plants as green as these in the underworld. And it’s colder here, the sounds are from cars, and not fireballs being thrown at each other... and the creatures here appear to be less frightening. I can’t stop seeing the difference.'' "Enough…" Lucius
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon B2 004 - Taste Her & Move On
LUCIUS. "I’ll be quiet, I won’t even breath." I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. I couldn’t count the number of times I smiled tonight, and my jaws were beginning to be uncomfortable already. I hadn’t let out smiles in a decade or maybe a century, but I was having a landslide tonight. "And where will you stay while I sleep? I know you don’t sleep, Lucius, and it’ll be too awkward if I know you’ll be here the whole night while I sleep and snore and maybe sleep talk." "I’m here for the nightmare, but I don’t mind talking with you if you ever sleep talk." "Don’t you have other things to do? Aren’t you being too relaxed for a king?" "Demon Lesson 101. If you’re the king, you’re the king. That means you have hundreds of men that you put to work on your behalf." "So you have hundreds of trusted men?" "Hundreds of demons that I put to work. Trusted no. Demons do not trust. Look at Lucien, dead because he trusted me." "And tell me why I should trust you after you said t

PATREA. "I don’t think I’ve seen you in your demon form. What do you look like?" "For someone who wants to forget the underworld, it’s weird you want to know more about my demon side." He stated this without opening his eyes, his face still void of any emotions. Lucien was handsome, and so was Guillermo, but I think Lucius, despite the constant presence of a scowl on his face, was far better looking than them. "This human face you have, did you choose that, or do you automatically have that like shifters? They have human form and wolf form, but they can’t choose how they look." "Aren’t you a curious little witch?" His eyes snapped open, and he tilted his head in my direction, making our gazes meet. And his eyes just hypnotized me. It might be some charm that he had that made me relax around him. I dropped my gaze, and it landed on his chest, which was very prominent on the tight shirt he had on him. I could see his erect nipple. Spirits! I felt like a cougar at the moment. Bu

PATREA. Lucius was already gone when I came out of the bathroom, which I was thankful for as I didn’t bring any clothes inside. I was hoping he would not pop back while I was still naked. But regardless of whether I knew he could come back anytime soon, I took my time walking around in just my underwear. I had no idea what I was aiming for. After a long time, I had fixed myself and was already ready to head down for breakfast, yet he was still nowhere, and I didn’t know if I was relieved or disappointed. I was already gearing up to agree with his request, but maybe I should wait until he asks for it again. Maybe something came up in the underworld that needed his attention. When I finally made it out of my bedroom, I saw Althea stepping out of her room at the same time, and happiness was evident on her face. "Wow! You looked so fresh, Patrea!" She exclaimed. "How was your night?" "I didn’t have any nightmares. Not even any dreams at all. I slept the whole six hours without any
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon B2 007 - Good Evening
LUCIUS. "Are you not going to answer me?" Lucy asked, her brows furrowing as she stood beside her mate’s seat while I lounged on the couch inside their office. Two days after I left their home, I was back again. "I went here to visit Luther, not to be interrogated." I hissed, annoyed to be looking at them instead of my nephew. "We want to know what your plans are." It was Stone. "So you offered three weeks to spend with humans? Are you sure you can manage?" Lucy asked again. "What the fuck is so hard about spending time here? And correction, three weeks with Patrea not with all humans on this fucking planet." Stone chuckled until Lucy rolled her eyes at him. "Why do you worry? What’s so hard about that?" "A lot! Unlike shifters, demons have power that just comes out when they’re furious. First, you can’t have your eyes blazing red all the time. And then the hissing has to stop." "But Stone is allowed to growl every five minutes?" "He does when he’s with shifters, not with hu
BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon B2 008 - This Is My Normal
PATREA. I had no idea why I felt so nervous in his presence. I’d been with him alone numerous times in the past, so this nervousness was unwarranted. But then, three weeks with him would be a long time. I was just probably nervous that if he snapped and unleashed hell, I would be the first casualty. I didn’t flee the demon world only to be killed by a demon in my own realm. "I know you don’t eat, but I do. So I will be cooking food, and I expect you to eat with me as I’ve been eating alone for many decades…" "Okay," he answered as he picked up a fork and forked some meat from the steamed dish into his. "I can do that. What else." "I have work three times a week. So that’s Monday to Wednesday, from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon. During those times, you can do what you want." "Like visiting you at the library?" "Or visit the underworld. You can’t be at the library all the time with me. I need to work." "I have a fascination for reading." "No, you don’t." I chuck
