BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 197

Heir of Athwart

KINGDOM OF ATHWART LUCIUS.

After the commotion had died down, all of Athwart’s demons on the battlefield were sent to Kalmerus,

where my demon guards briefed them on the way I was running my kingdom.

While Patrea and I, together with Lucija and Stone, headed back to the tower to check on Althea at

Patrea’s request.

The two talked alone before Althea agreed to be sent back to the human realm, as Patrea didn’t want

her to stay here.

And now that Patrea was connected to me, and demon blood was already running in her veins, she

would be able to n.ovelebook transport back and forth to the human world any time she wanted.

It would make it easier for her to visit Althea.

After we had said goodbye to everyone and Patrea thanked them for their help, Lucija took everyone

back to their territory, while Patrea and I headed to Athwart.

If I had my choice, I would be spending the next hours with Patrea alone, but there were things that we

couldn’t delay at the moment, and it made me happy that my queen was all up for coming along with

me on this one.

Alastor, one of Arturos’ offspring, whom I believed was also supposed to be the heir to his throne,

refused to leave the tower of Athwart.I sent Dorion to make sure the tower was clear, and this was the

information he relayed to me.

Alastor even blasted some demons who attempted to take him away from his chamber.

If Patrea was not with me, I would not be facing this demon.I would just kill him right away, but I had too

much blood in my hands already for today, and my desire to hold Patrea’s hand in mine was greater

than my desire to kill him.I transported our bodies to the throne hall of the tower, where Dorion was

waiting for us.

“How is it now?” I asked as soon as we appeared in front of him.

“[All of Arturos’ spawns had disappeared even before I arrived except for Alastor.]” He stated this, andI

simply nodded my head.

“[Have you checked the dungeon to see if anyone was set free?]”

“[The dungeons are calm.However, the prisoners were requesting a dialogue with you.]”

“[We can do that some other time.I have to kick out Alastor first.Where is he?]”

“[In his chamber,]” Dorion replied.

I acknowledged his response and told him to attend to other matters, and he disappeared immediately

in front of us.

“We will enter his chamber, and you might see something you don’t want to see,” I told Patrea as I

turned my body to face her.

“The demon is having an orgy.”

“I’ve seen orgies in the past.Do you think Lucien didn’t try to corrupt my mind?” She replied cockily.

My hand went to her jaw before I kissed her softly.

Kissing Patrea felt so natural that even without thinking, I always ended up kissing her.

“I just want to make sure you will not feel uncomfortable once we go there,” I told her the moment I

broke our kiss.

She smiled before her thumb wiped the wetness from my lips.

“I won’t.But can I ask you something? And can you answer me honestly?”

“I have never lied to you.”

She nodded her head before she asked.

“Will you be engaging in orgies? Will you force me to have orgies?”

“No for the first question, and hell no for the second.”

I hissed, my arm wrapping around her back to her waist before I pulled her closer.She tilted her head

up and met my eyes.

“I’m not interested in orgies anymore.One pussy is enough for me.And there’s no fucking way I’m going

to share you with anyone.”

“Demons love orgies.” She stated.

“Are you having an urge for orgies now?”

My eyes delved deep into hers, wanting to see her truth while my heart thudded loudly.It was only now

that I could fully understand Lucija when she told me that Stone was enough for her.

I remembered laughing at her face and telling her that demons would never be satisfied with one

sexual partner.I was now eating my words because I simply wanted Patrea just for myself.

And for some reason, my heart was aching while I waited for her response.

What if the demon blood I gave her made her crave multiple partners? For orgies? Could I say no to

her? Her arms snaked around me as a seductive grin curled on her lips, and it made my heart thud

more loudly.I wished I hadn’t taught her earlier how to control her mind so I could still read her mind

now.

“I don’t think I’ll be comfortable with anyone except you, my king.I don’t want to share you with anyone

either.I’m selfish like that.”

She finally said what I wanted to hear.

My heart began to calm down as a wicked grin crossed my face, both hands holding her waist as I

squeezed it before leaning forward.

“We can be selfish together then.”

Her hand went to my mouth, pushing my head away from her before she laughed softly.

“We have things to do, Lucius.We can do all the kissing later.”

“Right.” I hissed.

I almost forgot what we came here for.

“I can give you many more after this.” She told me, her eyes flitting with happiness and I couldn’t help

but get mesmerized by her.I clasped her hand with mine before catching her eyes again.

“Ready to enter his chamber?” I asked when her hand tightened around mine.

She nodded her head, and I immediately willed our bodies to be sucked into limbo, landing on the foot

of Alastor’s massive bed.

Four females were around him, each of them sucking a part of his body.

Alastor pushed the female nearest to him, and the other scampered away, hissing at the disturbance,

while the demon prince’s eyes were blazing with fire as he looked at me.

“[Who gave you the right to enter this tower?]”

He snarled, his demon fangs erupting from his gums.

But if he thought he could scare me, he was delusional.

“[This tower is mine now.I’m sure you are well aware that Arturos is dead.] I told him in a bored tone.

“[I am the rightful heir of this kingdom!]” he shouted, still sitting on his bed.

“[If you were aiming for that, you should have advised your father not to attack my kingdom, but instead

you let your dick take control of you.Was the fuck worth losing your kingdom?”

A wicked smirk formed on my lips before my laughter echoed around his room.

“[Get out of my tower! ]” He yelled again.

This demon is a fucking idiot.

What did he not understand about what I said? “[Get out of my tower.]”

I delivered the same line he said, but calmer.

“[I will kill you before I do.]

The females at the ack hissed, their long tongues sticking out as they threw a hateful glance at us.

Before I could flick my fingers to throw them out of the tower, Patrea’s hand flew, finger pointing out of

the chamber, before she gave out an authoritative command in the demon’s language.

“[Get out!]”

She hissed.

Her demon aura was rising, and I was sure the she-demons saw something in her eyes because they

didn’t need any more prodding, and they just vanished from the bed.

“[You killed Nyneve for this female?]”

Arturo’s mocking voice snapped my attention back to him.He walked to the other side of the room, still

naked, with his cock still pointing up.

“[I can kill you and the rest of your bloodline too for her.One more fucking word that you address my

queen as such, I would blast you off from this tower.”

“[Queen?]”

He chuckled sarcastically, but it only took a split second before his eyes widened and fear flitted in his

eyes.His body trembled as his knees bent and he slowly lowered to the floor.

“[Kneel down to your queen! ”

I hissed, louder this time, and I felt Patrea tugging at my hand.I knew she wanted me to calm down, but

Alastor was already pissing me off.

“[What the fuck are you doing? Royals never bow down to anyone! ]” He hissed back.

A maniacal laugh erupted from my throat as I continued to force him to drop onto his knees, making his

body violently shake as he was fighting it off.

“[You are no longer a royal.You have no kingdom to call your own! ] “I mocked him.

“[Stop this, Lucius! ]”

“[King Lucius! ]”

“[No,]” he said, gritting his teeth as his knees finally touched the floor.

“[Athwart is mine!]”

“[Now I understand why Nyneve was such a pain in the ass.It runs in the whole family.]”

Patrea stated, much to my surprise.

“[King Lucius has been accommodating of your nonsense, but you are wasting our time.Leave this

tower or you will be hauled out by the very demons that used to obey you.]”

As soon as Patrea finished speaking, I transported three demon guards, and it didn’t slip my eyes the

way Alastor was glaring at Patrea with his eyes blazing with fire.

“I will avenge my kingdom.” He snapped at us.

“Arturos couldn’t protect it from me, what makes you think you can?”

Those were my last words before the demons grabbed him and they all disappeared in front of us.

“What if he comes back?” Patrea asked, and the strong demeanor she showed earlier was now

showing uncertainties.

“He can no longer enter this tower. I was just being generous not to kick him out earlier so we can have

a little drama first.”

Patrea giggled softly as she turned to face me, her arms coiling around my neck as she arched her

body back so she could look at me.

“So the drama on the battlegrounds was not enough yet?”

“Nah, this time I was trying to impress my queen, but as usual, she surprised me with her anger.Which

was too sexy, especially the way you hissed at those she-demons.”

“They were looking at you, and I didn’t like it.”

“I didn’t even notice.”

“Good.”

“We have two kingdoms now.One for Luther, and one…”

My hands went to her ass, scooping her off the floor, and her legs automatically wrapped around my

hips.

“One for the demon you will give me.”

The smile on her face was wiped out in an instant before the color was drained out of it.I chuckled

softly as I cupped her cheek, letting my thumb brush against her skin.

“Scared of giving me a baby demon, perhaps a hybrid?”

“Do you want it now?” she asked in a soft voice.

“When you’re ready for it.If you only want, of course. Am I overwhelming you?”

She nodded her head.

“Can we take it slow on that part?”

“Of course.I can wait.Not that we need an heir now.It will be a century or two before we need to have

one.”

She nodded her head.

“Yeah.And you have other offspring too.”

“I don’t feel any surge of power from them as I did with Luther.And I know the other king will come from

you.”

“what if I can’t give you one?” She asked almost immediately.

“Then Luther will have two kingdoms to rule.”

I smiled at her before I leaned forward and captured her lips, kissing her softly.It took a while before her

lips parted and her arms tightened around my neck as she began responding to my kiss.I already knew

something was off.

Was she terrified of getting pregnant again? Or was there something more I didn’t know yet?
