Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon Chapter 63

BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon

063 – A Glimpse of His Soft Side

ALTHEA.

“Oh, Spirits! Blade! I told you I’m not leaving this territory!” I yelled in frustration

at him for the hundredth time as he shoved

my clothes inside my luggage, and I kept pulling them out.

We’re playing a game of tug of war, and up until this moment, no one was winning.

He wanted to leave this place as soon as Kingston told us that Lucien had taken

Alpha Stone to the underworld, and Lucy had followed them. But before she left, she told Kingston to
make sure I was safe because her father would come for me.

With the shield up, I thought I would be safer here, but Blade thought otherwise. But what does he
know?

“You have no say on this one, Althea! We’re

leaving! We’ll go to a safer place where the demon lord can’t reach you!” He snapped at me, tugging
the last pieces of clothing from my hands before shoving them inside my bag. He zipped it up and
threw it by the door,

where it landed with a loud thud.

“This is my life on the line! Why do you get to decide for me?”



“I’m not going to let another mate die before my eyes, Althea. Even if that means

putting myself in front of you to catch all the fire! I will fucking do it if I get an assurance you will come
out of this alive!” His jaw twitched as his eyes dilated into darkness.

I swallowed and opened my mouth to speak, but the words got caught in my throat. How do I retort
back from that?

“Get moving! We don’t have all night!”

“But we will be protected from here. We are

more vulnerable if wo

go outside the

territory.”

“Do you think your shield can protect you? How long have you been doing shields? I’m not a witch, but
I’ve met a lot of them.

Unless you are a hundred years old, I don’t think you alone could hold back a demon lord from entering
this territory. And I’m not going to take fucking chances just

because you think you can! Now get your ass rolling and pack your witchy gadgets, or I will do it
myself!” 1

I rolled my eyes at him, but I hurried to the desk, where I laid out some of my potions and books. I
carefully gathered the runes in

a small black pouch and placed them in my



pocket before I tucked the rest of it in a black bag I kept handy all the time.

Blade knew fairly well I didn’t want anyone touching my things, and despite being

annoyed with him at the moment, I was

grateful he remembered not to touch them.

“But where do you think we can go? I’m sure

I’m not safer in the mountains than I am

here.”

“You mentioned your ancestors being part

of a coven. I knew a coven of witches

somewhere in Salenda. We can start from

there, and maybe they can track which coven your family belongs to, or maybe they will take you in.”
His voice was calmer now.

“But how about you?” I asked, making sure my voice didn’t break, although my heart clenched in pain.

A coven of witches, according to my mother, was not allowing werewolves to live with them. They
accept them as visitors for a few days but never accept them as members of

their communities. And if any coven accepts

me, that would mean Blade would be on his

own.



“What about me?” He asked, slipping his hands inside his jeans pocket, but his eyes

avoided mine.

“Where will you go if we find a coven to take

me? I’m not sure they are willing to take you

in as well.”

“I’ll be fine. I’m used to being alone. I will

survive.”

“I thought Alpha Stone paid you to protect me? Why will you abandon me?” I had no

idea how I got the courage to ask him. I wanted to push him away, yet the thought of not seeing him
anymore was making me

uneasy.

“If you didn’t realize it, Alpha Stone is not here anymore. So I am doing this for free

now.”

My chest heaved. I wanted to be mad at him, but he was right we both didn’t want each

other.

“Just as long as you’re safe, then my work is done. We need to get going. Because I’m sure he’ll come
back for you soon.” He didn’t wait for me to reply as he opened the door and slipped out before adding,
“I will



just pick up my bag, and then we’ll go.”

♡♡♡

Blade and I walked down the stairs together

to the main hall of the packhouse. He was

carrying all our luggage while I carried my bag for my

witchy things. I knew the

moment I agreed to help Lucy, I was already

putting one foot on the ground, but it was my only way to free my grandmother from the demons. So
even if this would cost my

life, it was worth it. And I knew Lucy would

never fail me.

The only thing I was not prepared for was

Blade.

I was ready to risk my own life for my

grandmother, but I was not sure I was ready

to risk his life to protect me. Even if I didn’t

want the bond he was saying existed



between us, I still didn’t want any harm to

come his way.

We finally reached the main hall. The Beta

and Gamma couples were already there, waiting for us, together with Alpha Audrius and Luna Helena.
The packhouse felt

gloomy and eerie. Everyone was still in

shock, but we had no time to mope around.

As Alpha Audrius said, they had a whole pack

to protect.

And Blade was right – once I was gone here, the pack would be at a lesser risk from

Lucien’s wrath.

“I hope you didn’t have to go, sweetheart.” Luna Helena held my hands before she

pulled me in for a hug.

“This is for the better, Luna Helena. We

should think of the innocent lives that will

be caught between me and Lucien.”

We pulled away from each other as she nodded her head, tears welling in her eyes. Don’t hesitate to
give us an update. Just so I can rest easy knowing you’re both safe.



Laira walked up to us and handed me a

regular cellphone, not the new smartphone, but the one where you have to press the number multiple
times to get to the right letter when texting. “It has my number and Lena’s too. Call or message us. I
chose this one because it’s handy and just for calling purposes.”

I smiled at her and hugged her. “Thank you. Please let us know if you have news about

Lucy and Alpha Stone.”

The females nodded their heads while all the

males were silent, their lips pursing into

thin lines.

“We should go. The farther we are when he

comes back, the safer Althea will be.”

“I tanked up your car and loaded extra diesel. It’s on your trunk.” Beta Collin

informed Blade

“There is also a basket of food inside your car. So you don’t have to stop and can just keep going.”
Lena added.

My eyes watered as I smiled at all of them. My heart clenched in pain at just thinking of how they were
all feeling right now with the absence of their Alpha.

“I’m sorry for what happened with Alpha Stone… I somehow felt responsible…” I started, but I was
immediately cut off.



“No. No. Don’t say that. When we welcomed Lucy into our lives, we knew what we were getting into.
And Kingston told me you linked Adan’s life to Lucy.” The Luna’s shoulders shook, but she kept talking
while tears trickled down her face. “It’s the only thing that’s keeping me sane right now. I know as long
as he’s linked to Lucy, Lucien will not touch him. So, thank you.”

She hugged me again, and I did my best not to cry as I smoothed my hand over her back.

“Be careful. And when this is all over, you’re welcome to come and stay with us.” The

Luna added.

I nodded my head in response, but this time, I couldn’t keep the tears from falling. It

would be nice to come back here. I had lived

alone in the mountains with my mother for so long, maybe having other people around

me would be wonderful too.

“Thank you. We should go now.” I pulled away from her, and the Luna gave me a kiss on the cheek
before I said my goodbyes to

Laira and Lena.

I heard Alpha Audrius giving instructions to Blade about the route he could take. He was

listening to him and nodding his head at him, but his eyes were on me.

I smiled weakly at him, and he motioned for me to come to him, which I did. I didn’t

object when he took my hand and clasped it with his as we walked out of the packhouse



and down the steps to his car, which was waiting for us by the grounds.

There were four cars outside, aside from his.

10/14

Gamma Kingston ordered his men to escort

us to the exit, and by then only two cars

would follow us until we reached the nearest

neutral city.

To be honest, I was not sure what they could

do to help us if Lucien cornered us, but

Alpha Audrius and Beta Collin wouldn’t hear

of it when Blade refused escorts. They

wanted to ensure that we were protected and that we would arrive safely in the neutral

city.

Blade didn’t argue more. He opened the passenger side and let me in. I thought he would just leave
and go to his side

immediately, but he didn’t. He fixed my seatbelt – our faces were just inches away

from each other.



Once he was done fumbling with my belt, his gaze locked with mine. “Althea, do you trust me?”

I should learn to trust Blade, so I nodded my head in response.

“Words. I want to hear words,” he said grumpily.

“I trust you, Blade,” I answered in a soft tone. I had no energy to counter his grumpiness at the
moment.

“I want you to remember that when the time comes that I ask you to do something.” He added, and it
made me bite my lower lip, all the while, his eyes never left mine. “When we step out of this territory, it
will just be you and me. I want you to trust me enough to tell me your plans and what you are thinking.
Am I understood?”

“Yes…” I answered in a hoarse voice.

And then he smiled, something he never did

in my presence

not too wide but not

forced either. A real smile, just enough to

make my heart somersault in my chest.

And then he did something I wasn’t

expecting from him. He leaned forward,

bridging the gap between us, and placed a



soft kiss on my forehead while his hard, calloused palm rubbed the skin of my arm so gently that it felt
too sensual, sending shivers down my spine – down to my core.

“Good. Now, be a good little witch and stop defying me so we can have a peaceful trip,” he said as he
pulled away. A smug smirk was back on his face, and it just made me roll my eyes, but I decided to
shut my mouth

because my core was still throbbing from his

touch.

Blade slid into his seat, and I waved goodbye to the people on the steps as we drove off. The moment
the packhouse was out of my view, my gaze shifted to look at the man driving the car. I could only see
the side of

his face.

Blade looked dangerous, but the way he smiled earlier showed me a glimpse of his soft side – or
maybe I was just imagining things. He seemed to be too cold and

distant.

12/1 13/14

I closed my eyes and leaned back in my seat. I knew a dangerous time was ahead of us, and I had no
idea if I would come out alive. But if I do, I hope Blade does as well.
