Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon Chapter 178

BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

26 - Another Heart To Eat

PATREA.

I was already awake, but I kept myself from opening my eyes. I was lying on my side, facing in his
direction. 1 knew he was probably staring at me, like he’d been doing these past two mornings, and
also because his breath was fanning against my skin.

Last night with Lucius was the best night I’ve ever had. He fucked my pussy twice, and I knew he
wanted more, but everything was still so new to me that I couldn’t keep up with him. And I was glad he
never pushed or asked for more. Instead, he held me close to him the whole night.

If I didn’t know he was a demon, I would never think he was one. I didn’t have much experience with
men, but I could say he was far better than all the men I encountered in my life, including Adora’s
father, who was married but led me to believe he was not.

Lucius was just the perfect man, and even if I didn’t want to, he was slowly taking up space in my life,
and it hadn’t even been a week since he came to stay with me.

And I knew that once this was over, I would miss him.

"Open your eyes. I know you are awake already." His deep voice came around me.

"I'm not,.." I murmured, biting my lower lip to prevent myself from smiling.

"Don’t you want to see a handsome face first thing in the morning.?

“Of course, I want to. But I don’t have anyone handsome around..."



I was not able to finish my words when my body was flipped over. I was now laying on my back, and
Lucius was on top of me, hovering over my body. I couldn’t stop myself from opening my eyes as soft
giggles escaped my throat.

"Should I be disappointed as you never appreciate how handsome I am? Does Bertil look handsome
with his fake muscles?" Lucius asked as he flawlessly moved my arms above my head, pinning me
against the bed while his nose nuzzled my neck. "Answer me..."

I shook my head and chuckled softly, but the heat was already rising from my stomach. "Stop... I’ll be
late for work."

"Me too..." He hissed as he withdrew from my neck and pulled away from my body to sit beside me.

“What do you mean? Are you leaving for Kalmerus?" I asked as I sat up as well.

He nodded his head, and my heart sank as my shoulders sagged.

"Come here." His arms coiled around my waist, and he pulled me toward him, placing me on his lap.
We were both naked, and the feel of his body against mine had been my comfort for quite some time
now. "I had to visit hell and take energy for my demons."

"Will it take you a whole day?" I knew this process, as Lucien had mentioned it a lot.

"It depends on the souls from which I could draw energy. I will be in hell most of the time. The only time
I will be in Kalmerus is when I deposit the energy on our globe so it can be distributed to my demons.
But after that, I’ll be here."

I smiled at him and nodded my head, but my heart was in turmoil. I wanted to ask about Nyneve, but I
didn’t want him to think that I didn’t trust him.

"Take this." He handed me a black thing that resembled a clam. "Open it."



I slowly opened it, and my mouth dropped open at the sight inside. The bottom of the clam was like a
mirror, and it showed me and Lucius in bed at the moment, like the view was from the top.

“What's the meaning of this?" I asked as I tilted my head to look at him.

He tucked a stray hair behind my ear before he explained, but his eyes refused to meet mine. "I know
you will end up thinking about what I’m doing while on Kalmerus. You can check where I am and what
I’m doing from time to time. However, in hell, it might not work, as too many souls will sap the energy
from that one. But it will work in all four kingdoms."

“Wow! This is like your hologram."

"Only it’s smaller."

"Like a Tamagotchi screen," I said.

"what's that?" He asked, his brows furrowing.

"Forget it. It was some toy when I was younger." I chuckled.

“Okay, but you can see me there when you miss me."

"Okay. This looks good." And I meant that. I was happy to have this, and even happier that I didn’t have
to ask for assurance from him.

“Or when you think I’m meeting up with Nyneve." He added, and a red tint began to creep on my
cheeks at his words because I was guilty.

He rested his forehead against mine. "I'm a demon, Patrea. I kept thinking overnight that, at some
point, I might get tempted — that her allure and her seduction would make me fall for it. So I need to



know you are watching me. If you think that one is for you, it is more for me. I need that to give me
strength to control myself.

He pulled away from my forehead and met my eyes.

"I’m not strong when it comes to temptation." He admitted.

"Thank you for telling me that." I smiled at him warmly. Of course, he was a demon. The temptation
was part of his life. "If you come home to me untouched by Nyneve or any other she demons, or
females, I promise you, you can fuck me the whole night if you want to. Or you can do whatever you
want with me tonight."

It was the only reward I could think of for his honesty and his desire not to touch Nyneve, which was
overwhelming me at the moment.

He cupped my cheeks and began kissing me, but I saw his mouth twitch into a smile before he crushed
them into mine.

"I want that more than anything in hell... With you watching me, I know I will do my best to fight off the
temptation." He said the moment he pulled away from kissing me.

My arms wrapped around his neck as I hugged him tighter. I had no idea where we were headed with
this out-of-this-world setup that we had, but I didn’t care at the moment. What was important was that it
was clear he was trying his best to make sure he would never fuck another female while he was with
me — something my heart was wishing for. And the best thing I could do was to trust him and his
words.

LUCIUS.



After I made sure that Patrea was at the library, I traveled directly to hell to obtain the energy my
demons required. Sucking up energy from the lost and unwanted souls in hell was the sustenance my
demons needed to keep them alive and functioning properly.

Many centuries ago, everyone had access to hell, but the demons abused the privilege given to them,
taking more than they should in the belief that it would make them stronger to overpower whoever was
on the throne. Thus, Hades changed his rules and only allowed the rulers to enter the depths of hell to
take in the energy we needed for our demons.

After I had taken what I thought was enough, I wasted no time and went back to Kalmerus, placing
everything on the globe as it was distributed equally to my demons, with the exception of my second
and third in command and my main demon guards, which required more energy than ordinary demons.

After a while, I was already threading my way down my tower, taking one last swipe at my demons
before getting ready to go back to the human realm, when I felt a strong aura somewhere. Was Lucija
here?

But it was only one strong demon aura I could feel, and Stone never let Lucija come here on her own.

The aura was coming from the bathhouse inside my tower, and my feet led me there. 1 walked the
columns lined up with fire torches when the air I breathed became thick with must and eucalyptus
scent.

I stopped walking the moment I reached the stone edge that separated the grounds from the hot
spring.

[I don’t think I allowed anyone in my bathhouse.] I couldn’t see the figure at the end of the bath, but I
already had a good idea who it was.



[My apologies, my king, as I could not resist coming here.] Nyneve answered seductively as she
walked forward, her body slowly rising from the water.

The droplets of water clinging to her hair and naked body made an alluring view as she surfaced from
the bath. Her round breasts curved perfectly and matched her thin waist and round hips. And the black
veins on her skin just made her more tempting.

Any demon present would certainly fall to its knees at the beauty before them.

But not me.

[Would you like to join me, my king? The bath is very calming after acycle’s work. I can bathe you, and
I can do more.) Her luscious red lips curled into a seductive smile as she laid out her hand for me to
take.

[Leave.] I told her in an authoritative tone.

[Is that how you treat a guest? A very alluring one.]

[Yes. And I’m sure that is very offensive and insulting. So do the honor of leaving my tower with your
head held up, or I will disgracefully force you out of here.]

She stopped walking when she was a foot or two away from me, her body floating above the water.
[What is it that makes you reject a princess like me? Perhaps because of the human that has been
occupying your time?]

[I’m sure you are well aware that stalking is unattractive.]

[But it serves me well. I assume I am right.]

My forehead creased as I hissed at her. [Leave her alone.]



[What are you planning to do then? Or should I say, what can she do against the flick of my fingers?]
Her fingers reached out and trailed down on my collarbone, moving lower to my chest while anger
brewed inside me, but I restrained myself from letting out my rage.

My hand grabbed hers, squeezing it hard, before a menacing smile tugged at my lips as my eyes
narrowed at her. "Touch her, and you will regret ever crossing my path. I just ate the heart of my own
father — I don’t mind eating another one soon.”

I dropped her hand slowly as her eyebrows rose, and anger flitted in her eyes. Before she could say
her words, my demon guards appeared around her and took her arms forcefully before she was
immediately transported out of the bathhouse, and out of my tower.

"Dorion!" I roared as I transported my body into my throne hall. I wanted the head of the demon guard
who allowed Nyneve’s entrance into my tower.
