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

Chapter 029 - Dating A Demon PATREA.

"What can I do for you?" I asked her, my face void of any emotions.

"I didn’t know you knew me." Nyneve retorted.

"Lucius told me about you."

"Impressive. So, Lucius is telling humans about his sexual escapades and the one he was fucking?"

My brows hiked up.Did she just call me human? Couldn’t she feel my witch's aura?

"What did you say?" I scoffed.

"Sexual escapades? Does that include you? Because I'm sure he told me there was nothing between the two of you except you, trying to use your allure on him. which, unfortunately for you, didn't work on him."

Despite knowing I was enraging a demon, I was unable to prevent my mouth from spewing these words.

"You’re trusting a demon? Are you even aware that he is a demon? " She asked as she checked her neatly done manicure.

I wanted to laugh already because now I was sure I knew more about Lucius than she did.I knew I should be scared, but her aura wasn’t that strong.

Lucius said she was just a half-century old.She's too young, but then Lucy was younger but her aura was stronger, almost the same as Lucius'.

"Yes, I’m dating a demon," I told her, my eyes following the movement of her hands, knowing that with just a flick of her fingers, I could start to burn.

"Dating? You mean fucking a demon."

"If that term will make you feel better, then yes, I’m fucking a demon. And it's the best fuck I've ever had."

Well, that was the truth. Her eyes blazed red, and before I knew it, fireballs were already heading my way.

My reflexes moved into action, and I was able to block her fire with my invisible shield. I didn’t even flinch from my position.

Her shots were nothing compared to the ones Zelda had given me, and the ones Lucius fired at me while we were training before we took Lucy back from the underworld. She was indeed a young demon and was out here for revenge without even preparing for what she was about to do.

"What are you?" She hissed.

Her eyes continued to blaze red as the fire began to envelop her body, and her aura was getting stronger.She was feeding on her anger, and the fast beating of my heart was proof that I was starting to get terrified, and fear would make a demon stronger.

I chanted in my head, saying two spells at the same time: one to mask the noise inside the house and the other, a pain to make her go away.I flashed her a smug grin just as she let out a screeching scream while holding the side of her head.

Her body was on fire, and I could see her demon veins creeping up on her skin.

I was trying to fry her brain, but without physical contact, it was harder.

It would not take long before I would lose all the energies I summoned from the spirits.I could feel my hands trembling.

The spell I was trying to cast was taking so much from me because I was too far from her.

Nyneve hissed as her tongue extended, and it was heading in my direction.

I dodged, making me release the spell I was chanting.

And Nyneve took the opportunity to throw fire at me, which I kept blocking with my shield again as I ran towards the kitchen.

She was floating in the air, following me as I kept walking backward, holding my shield up as I headed for the stairs.

I had nowhere to run, and my nose was starting to bleed. I needed Lucius.

But how could I summon him without taking my hands off the shield to protect me? I used simple spells and let the chair and tables fly toward her, but they were all destroyed even before they reached her.

I inched my body to the side of the stairs where the handrail was.

I let her throw fire at me, and when she stopped, I rolled and dropped my body over the railing to the loveseat just beside the stairs and inserted my hands in my pockets just as I felt something grab my neck and grip it tightly.

Soon, my face was being pushed to the floor as her hands on me tightened, and it was getting harder to breathe.

And then my body began to heat up.

Tears trickled down my face as I saw my arms engulfed in flames, and although I couldn't feel the burn, I knew I would be dead soon.

I didn’t even get to say goodbye to Althea or tell Lucius how I felt about him.I closed my eyes before aloud hiss escaped Nyneve’s throat as she screamed.

She was screaming so loudly that it made my body jerk off the floor.

"Why are you not burning?" She grabbed my neck tighter and raised me from the ground before she flung me in the opposite direction.

My body hit the wall before it dropped on the floor with a loud thud, but it gave me time to rub the coin.

I kept rubbing because I couldn’t remember how to count as my whole body trembled from the impact of the fall.

Nyneve rushed toward me, and just when she was about to grab me again, a shadow came.

Then she was gone in front of me, and a loud crashing sound of pans and utensils erupted in the air.

Lucius came.

I smiled as I lay on the floor for a while.

(What's hard to understand about when I told you to leave her alone?) Lucius roared in demon tongue, and although I never spoke it, I could understand most of it.

His hands were on Nyneve’s throat as his eyes blazed red and his demon fangs were out, and she was trying to push his hand off her throat while she kept hissing at him.

Lucius threw a glance at me, and I nodded my head at him, letting him know that I was okay as I forced myself to stand up.

Nyneve took this as an opportunity to extend her tongue one more time and wrap it around my neck.

Lucius’ fangs bit her tongue, cutting it in an instant before he spewed out the part that was left in his mouth.

Lucius looked like a real demon to me now.

His skin was covered with black veins, while his hands were black.

And his eyes — they were never this furious, not even when he was facing Lucien.

[I will fucking kill you!] He hissed at Nyneve before he looked at me.

He didn't need to say anything.

I knew he wanted to bring her back to the underworld, but this time I didn’t want him out of my sight.

With my body still aching, I leaped and grabbed Lucius’ arm while I whispered in my head, selling my body and soul to the Demon King of Kalmerus, just in the nick of time, before his body was sucked into a limbo, taking me and Nyneve with him.

LUCIUS.

I was preparing to leave Kalmerus to see Patrea again. but I couldn’t feel the connection in the mirror that I gave her, and it made me worry.

Did she shut it off? It was the only reason I could think of why the connection was lost.

As time ticked by, I was getting restless.

I was supposed to complete one more task, but I chose to cut my cycle short and return home to her.

But just as I was preparing to leave Kalmerus, the signal that I didn’t want to come, came.She was summoning me.

Or not.

Because she was rubbing the coin too much.

With my heart thudding loudly, I transported my body to her home and sawNyneve as she was about to grab her.

Anger coursed through my whole body as I flew my way and grabbed Nyneve’s neck, smashing her head on the dish racks by the kitchen counter.

The impact made all the pans hanging drop on the counter and eventually onto the floor.

I wanted to kill her, but my desire to know Patrea was okay and breathing was my priority.

Patrea smiled at me.

I knew it was time to bring this demon back to the underworld and make her pay for her sins.

I transported my body, but before I was sucked into limbo, Patrea’s hand coiled on my wrists, and a contract was created in my soul.

She sold her body and soul to me.

"What did you do?" I asked her as my arm coiled around her waist and grabbed her to my chest.

"She left!" she gasped as she pushed her body off me.

Her eyes widened as she shifted her gaze between me and the place where Nyneve landed. I was so consumed by the idea that she was back in the underworld that I lost focus on Nyneve. She escaped

from my grasp.

I brushed my hand over my hair as a hiss formed in my throat.

"I'm sorry." Patrea’s eyes watered as they locked with mine.

"I'm sorry I distracted you by coming here."

"NO.Don't say that."

I shook my head as I snaked my arms around her body and pulled her closer to me again.

"Let’s go inside the tower."

She nodded her head, and I transported us to the throne room, where Dorian and Gargon were waiting, together with some demon guards.

I gave them an instruction to bring Nyneve to me, but it didn’t slip my eyes the way my demons were glancing at Patrea, who was standing beside me, her hand clasped against mine.

If there was anything positive in all of this, Patrea was meeting their gazes.

She was not looking down or avoiding their stare.She was standing beside me like a true queen would do.

(Send a message to King Arturos.Tell him I want Nyneve or his whole kingdom will receive my wrath.] I told Dorian, and he nodded his head in acknowledgment.

After that, I ordered everyone out before I faced Patrea.

"Are you okay?" She nodded her head.

"My back hurts just a bit, but nothing that I can’t soothe.I can do it later."

My hand went to cup her cheek, and I brushed my finger on the bruise forming on it.

"What did she do to you?"

"She pressed my face on the floor."

"I’m sorry I came too late."

"I’m glad you came."

Her hand went to my hand on her cheek, and she leaned her face against it.I wrapped my free arm around her body and hugged her tightly.

"I’m sure Nyneve would come for you again.It’s not safe for you to stay in your home, but I can bring you to Lucija’s. They can protect you better when I’m not around."

"Don’t leave me there."

"I want to find Nyneve, I will fucking crush her with my own hands. " Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I meant that.My blood was boiling.I hated Lucien, but if I had to choose who I hated the most, I was sure Nyneve was now at the top of my list.

"I don’t want to be far away from you," she said, her voice almost croaking.

If this were another instance, I would take pride in it. But I knew she must be scared to be left alone.

"I can’t take you with me while I’m looking for her."

"Then just let me stay here."

"What?" I pulled away from hugging her.

My hands held her waist as I caught her gaze.

"You want to stay here?"

She nodded her head.

"In the underworld?"

She nodded her head again.

"In the place, you hated the most?"

She nodded her head before her arms snaked around my waist, and she pressed her body against mine, her head resting on my chest.

"Yes, here.I’m sure your demons can guard me while you’re away."

"You know very well that if something happened to me if I get killed, your soul will be trapped in this world for eternity."

"Then make sure you don’t die.Make sure that you will come back to me every day."

She said it in almost a whisper, and it was enough to calm the rage within me.

She was right.

She was right.

She was much safer here.

And I would take this opportunity to make sure she would be comfortable here, and begin to see Kalmerus in a different light, despite the danger looming around.
