Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 138

138 - Demon Alpha LUCY.

"Fuck! Adan!" I cursed under my breath as another contraction hit me.

I was tolerable with pain, but this one was hitting me so bad I wanted to curse anyone who would stand in front of me, so I was thankful no one was in the way as I held on to the wall in the corridor of the fourth floor where our room was.

"Oooh, my demon nephew is due to arrive!"

Lucius appeared out of nowhere, a devil’s smirk was on his face.

"Fuck off!"

I growled at him as my hands tightened on my stomach.

The contraction stopped, but the intervals were getting closer.

"Why are you here?"

"The demon in me felt a new demon soul was about to arrive.Powerful as his uncle."

He smirked at me, but I saw the excitement on his face.

"Go away! I don’t want you here!"

"Not a chance.I want to see how he will come out of you"

The hand in my stomach went up and shot ice at him, which he melted in an instant before his laughter bounced along the corridor.

"Go get your female pregnant, asshole, and stay away from my pup!"

I didn’t mean the last part, but him annoying me right now when I was in so much pain was the last thing I needed.

Like my father, Lucius had many offspring spread out over the two centuries that he was alive.

But unlike in the human realms, demons never cared about their spawns or their parents unless they had a use for them.

Ever since Lucius became the King of Kalmerus, his spawns had sprung out from every corner of the underworld.

They all wanted the same thing: to sit beside him on his throne and be the possible heir in the future.

But my brother said he had no connection with them and was rather anticipating the arrival of his nephew, claiming he wanted to train him personally, something we haven’t agreed on yet.

"Adan! What's taking you so long?!"

I knew I could have just mind -linked him, but screaming was helping my nerves at the moment.

"The only reason he’s not yet here is either he’s fucking someone or he fainted..." Lucius said in a bored tone.

"Go away, Lucius!"

I growled at him as another contraction hit me.

The intervals were now less than ten minutes long.

Instead of following my order, my demon brother laughed again and let his body float into a sitting position as he watched me from the other side of the corridor.

I thought he was smart enough to distance himself so he could dodge if I decided to end his life right now.

Soon, rushing footsteps were heard, and Adan’s smell swirled around me, calming my heart, but then my water bag broke at the exact moment Adan came into view at the head of the corridor.

"Adan!"

I screamed as I held the bottom of my stomach, as I was scared my son would slip off.I should have spent my time watching labor videos instead of fucking my mate lately.

Now I absolutely had no idea what to do.

"Relax, we're here! They’re here!"

Adan said, but he sounded like he was unsure as well.

"Why did you have to leave me? You could have mind-linked them instead of leaving me in the bedroom!" I snapped at him.

He panicked when I told him the contraction intervals were getting closer together and ran out the door to call my OB-GYNE, forgetting he could mindlink or transport his body anywhere he wanted.

"I don’t know.I just wanted to make sure they would come here right away..."

He tried to explain as he held my hands before he scooped me off the floor, and carried me in bridal style.

Lucius chuckled at his response.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Adan snapped at him.

"Having fun.It’s not every day I see the Alpha of the Mystic Pack panicking.You look like you will faint anytime soon."

Lucius answered him.

"Fuck off and bother someone else!"

"Nah.I’m here for the big show.I want to see Lucija give birth."

"No!"

Adan and I said it in unison.

"No fucking way I will let you inside, and if you sneak in without my permission, I will forbid you from seeing my pup!"

And I knew Adan meant that.

"You’re fucking harsh.Don’t you even think for a second that I would watch with malice!"

Lucius hissed.

"I don’t fucking care! Why do you think her medical team is all female? No other man will fucking see how she will push out our son, and you’re not a fucking exception!"

"Fine! Fine! I’ll wait here..." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Lucius rolled his eyes.

"Your word, Lucius," I told him, squeezing Adan’s arm tightly so he wouldn’t move us until Lucius gave in.

I know it would mean nothing to Lucius to see me naked, but this was for Adan.I want this moment to be just the two of us when everything in our lives has been made public.

"You have my word, Lucija.I will not peek in, not even in my hologram."

"Good," Adan said as he turned around and walked us back to our room.

Soon, Candice, my OB-GYNE, and the nurses assisting her, as well as my Beta and Gamma females, came in, and they all began to prepare me for my home birth.

"Do you still want us here, Luna? Or did you change your mind?" Laira asked.

"Stay...I want my females with me."

"You'll be fine, Luna.We can’t wait to meet our little Alpha."

Lena pressed a kiss on my forehead before Laira did the same.

They moved back, giving Adan the space beside me as my delivery team prepared to check on me.

We can see the crown of his head, Luna.

One more big push, and he’ll be out.

Give me all your best so his neck don’t get stuck..."

"What stuck around his neck?"

Adan growled.

I squeezed his hand and shook my head.I'd been at a loss for words for the past few hours while doing my best to save all of my energy.

My son, was surely one hell of a Demon Alpha because he wasn't making it easy for me, letting me know who was the boss around here.

I felt another contraction coming.

"Are you ready?" Candice asked.

I nodded my head and held on to Adan’s hand tightly, sharing the pain with him, which I'd been doing for a long time now.I didn’t want to let him feel it, but he wanted to.

He said it was a small price to pay compared to what I had to go through.

So I gave him what he wanted.

I knew it was not easy for him as well, as he had been sporting sweats on his forehead ever since, and I saw him biting his bottom lip every time I had contractions.

But he never flinched, never complained, and just took it all.

And this was what made this birth even more special.

I gave it one hard push, and a loud, piercing cry broke in the air as my pup finally came out of me.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched Candice raise him and look at him, while all the females around us flocked to them.

Adan remained by my side, holding my hand tightly.

His glassy eyes mirrored the emotion I was feeling at the moment.

"Thank you," he mumbled as tears trickled down his face.

He leaned over me and kissed my lips, murmuring words in between our kisses.

"When we went out of Kalmerus, I thought that was the happiest day of my life, but today, I can’t explain it."

I nodded my head as I kissed him back I felt the same way.

"Alpha, Luna, his body is smoking! I’m not sure if..."

Panic rose from Candice’s voice, as she struggled to keep our pup in her hands.

Adan leaped to his feet and approached her to take him.

Soon enough, his small body was engulfed in fire, much to the astonishment of the females around us, but my little Alpha stopped crying once he was in his father’s hands.

"Look at you, little Alpha.Are you putting on a show for the females here?"

Adan chuckled as he cooed at our pup in his arms.

The fire he had was a protective one, and not meant to hurt anyone.

Lena and Laira helped me sit up as Adan cut his umbilical cord with one hand while the other arm carried him.

As soon as he was wrapped up in a cloth, the fire subsided.

I was guessing that he longed to be held by either me or Adan and that he involuntarily summoned fire.I watched with love in my eyes as Adan sat beside me and handed me our son.

My heart was brewing with happiness.

This was something I had always wanted: my own family, which Mom and Diego provided for me.

My only wish was that I would get to stay longer to see him grow, make his own path, and settle down with the female he loved.

I was looking too far ahead, but I guess I just wanted to make sure he would grow with love overflowing in his heart despite having demon blood.

"Here is Mommy, little Alpha..."

Adan placed our pup into my arms before he snaked his arm around me and enveloped both of us in his embrace.

"Isn’t he perfect?"

I nodded my head.

"He has all your features."

I wasn't kidding.He has Adan’s dark blue eyes, and his hair is all black with no shades or signs of red.His nose and little mouth as well.

I knew his features could change at some point, but looking at him right now was making my heart flutter.

"We made this pup! Can you believe it?" I blurted out.

"I do.And we can make more...If my Gamma’s calculation was right, we can make four in a year."

Adan joked.

I giggled, which startled our pup, and I had to suppress my laughter as I caressed the bridge of his nose with my finger.

"He’s too perfect.Just like his Daddy..."

I smiled at him before tilting my head to the side to look at Adan.

"I gave you an heir, Alpha.Like I was supposed to do...Was I worth the $1.5 million?"

"You’re worth more than millions, my Luna.Worth even selling my soul to the devil."

He answered in a solemn tone before he kissed my forehead.

"And I still don't regret it, Lucy.I will sell my soul over and over again just for a lifetime with you here on earth."

My eyes watered again as Adan cupped the side of my head and laid my cheek against his chest, and my ears reveled in the sound of his heartbeat.I hope this moment never ends.

The door to my room opened.

Mom and Dad came in, together with our Beta and Gamma, followed by Lucius.

"Oh, he’s so beautiful!"

Mom exclaimed while Dad hugged her, as her eyes welled up with tears.

"We have a grandpup after waiting for so long."

"He’s worth the wait, honey..."

Dad told him in a whisper before he kissed Mom’s cheek, and I couldn’t help but beam with pride at the happiness we brought them.

"Are you excited to meet your, Alpha?"

I heard Collin ask his seven -year-old pup, Nathaniel, which he was carrying in his arms.

Nathaniel nodded his head before he gave me a sweet smile.

"Will he have wings soon?"

"Not yet.But perhaps when he turned six or seven."

"I can watch him while he plays with his wings.I’ll be older by then."

He said it proudly, puffing his chest, and my heart warmed again.

A protective Beta in the making.

"I’m sure he would love that."

"Do you have a name for my grandpup?" Dad asked, his gaze shifting between me and Adan while, for some reason, my brother remained at the back, his shoulders slumped, and he was not saying anything.

The people in the packhouse were already used to him popping in and out whenever he wanted and creating chaos from time to time, so it was unusual that he was quiet.

"We do..." Adan answered, and he nodded at me, giving me the chance to tell them.

"Aiden...We want Aiden for his name." I told them excitedly.

"Alpha Aiden,"

Kingston stated, and excitement was in his voice, but it didn’t slip my eyes the way my brother took a deep breath.

"And Luther," Adan added, making Lucius snap his head to look at us.

"He will be known as Luther in the underworld."

He smiled before he continued, "Aiden Luther Robinson..."

Pride was oozing from my mate’s aura as he looked at Lucius.

Lucius stared back at him, his shoulders now were relaxed with his chest puffed up.

He mouthed "thank you" to my mate, before he disappeared, probably back to his throne.

It only proved one thing to me: Lucius felt Luther’s aura and knew he could be a possible heir to his throne centuries from now.And maybe for a moment, he thought I would not let Luther acknowledge his demon side just as I avoided mine.But it’s not mine or Adan’s choice to make - it will be Luther’s.
