BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M

096 – A Terrible Sin
BLADE.
I left Althea at the Fortuna coven. I knew
she would be safer there, but that didn’t mean I left her on her own.
I was just nearby, checking their area from time to time to see if she would come out, just to make sure she was okay. I knew the
demon lord must still be looking for her, so I had to keep my guard up all the time. Stalking and prying were never an issue. That
has been part of my lifestyle for half a decade now.
So I watched her like a fucking lovesick psycho, and because she was not a shifter, my scent was never that strong for her. She
never saw me, and I intended to have it that way until we both could figure out what we wanted with our lives.
Tonight was a full moon, so I decided to come closer to where she was living. I
went around the open market, which was nearby the house where she was staying. I wanted to be around when the full moon hit
so I could reassure myself that there were no wolves in this area, particularly the unmated ones.
My mate was so sure she would not be hit with heat when I told her this one time. But I doubt it. Better to be safe than sorry.
And then I saw Dalton outside her house.
Dalton was my Gamma. He was now Gamma to my brother.
But what the fuck was he doing here? This would have been easier if I had been able to mindlink him, but I denounced my pack
and severed all ties with it. So I had no choice but to watch as Althea went
inside the car with him.
Dalton was mated, so I was sure even if Althea went into heat, he would not smell her, and he would be able to resist her if my
little witch even attempted to seduce
him.
But they had a convoy comprised of four

unmated males.
This one was making me worried. Females’ heat was making unmated males turn into rabid animals. There were many cases of
females being violated during the full moon.
Even at a young age, we were all taught that fated mates were considered a sacred bond and that it should be honored by
marking each other before the first full moon – to avoid the heat that would put unmated males into a haze. The heat was the
Goddess’ way of speeding up mating and claiming between fated mates.
But how would I explain that to someone
outside of my species? To someone who only saw me as an older guy preying on a younger female?
Even if she was not saying it upfront, I could feel that she was not into me, although I knew she was attracted to me. It was just
the bond, but if she had a choice, she would never fall for it. And that was exactly what she had been doing. She was moving on
without me.
My forehead creased as the two cars I was following came into view. They were threading a forest road, and I put a great
distance between us because the road in this area was just straight ahead, so when I reached them, my heart began thudding
loudly.
No one was around the cars.
Something was happening. I halted my car and jumped out of my seat, and as soon as I opened my car door, the noises
came in full force. Growls were
everywhere, but I failed to focus on them
as my ears picked up the scream that even
in my sleep I knew I would be able to
identify.
I didn’t waste any more time and sprang forward to where her scream was coming from.

Her scent came in full force in a matter of seconds, but instead of the usual arousal, the rage was coursing through my body.
Someone was on top of her, forcing her to submit to him. My mind went blank, and the man on top of him ended up with a ripped
head.
I picked up Althea from the ground and prepared myself to rip more heads, but Dalton came and snapped me out of my
trance.
Dalton was pleading with me not to kill anyone anymore, and it was only then
that it hit me that I had just killed my
own people.
But how do I fight them off? Their haze would last as long as Althea was in heat, and shoving them off was getting harder with
her in my arms.
Her scent was intoxicating, putting me in a haze as well. And if this kept going for a long time, I might end up killing anyone
around us.
I was still shoving and kicking the males who were trying to grab her when my gums itched and my fangs slowly
erupted. My wolf, Buck, wanted me to
mark her to stop the haze, and I knew it was the only thing to do.
Her scent and the possessiveness I felt toward her made me throw all the
rationality away as my fangs sink into the soft spot of her neck, and the moment she screamed, I knew I had committed a
terrible sin.
♡♡♡
“We’ll be back,” I told Dalton as I took
Althea’s clothes, which he handed me before I headed off in the opposite

direction with Althea in my arms. The moment I began walking, and was out of Dalton’s sight, she began rubbing her front into
my erection as her arms snaked tightly around my neck.
“Althea... stop,” I grunted. Not that I didn’t want to, but if she continued doing this, I might end up fucking the hell out of her.
“Shut it! You’re not my father! You gave me this heat, so fucking live with it!” She snapped at me.
My hand on her ass tightened its hold on her as my strides grew bigger. She was moaning wantonly, and it was snapping all the
control I had. As soon as I was sure
we were far from where Dalton was, I
dropped her body on the ground, causing
her to hiss and glare at me.
“What is wrong with you? I might be a witch, but I’m not just one of those things that you can toss away or drop without any care!
My butt would be sore soon!” She was shrieking at me, her eyes glowing dark purple, and it made her more alluring in my eyes.
I bent my body and leaned my face closer
to hers. “You talk too much!”
“Fuck me...” She retorted, which caught me off guard. Her voice was suddenly needy.
I found myself swallowing hard as my eyes darted to her parted mouth. Her lips were glistening under the full moon as if they
wanted me to kiss them.
“No.”
“Yes.”
“I can’t...”
“Do you prefer males over females?”
“No.” I chuckled, this was amusing me now, and my body began to relax.
She was only 18. And I was never gentle in bed. I could break her in all possible ways.

“Fuck you!” She cursed me in a low but
firm voice before she scuttled on her ass
and moved backward until her back hit a
tree.
She was almost naked. Her dress was ripped, but her panties were intact. I knew she was not assaulted down there. But if I
were even a second late, I didn’t want to think about what could have happened.
It was the reason I killed the male on top of her without remorse and wanted to kill
the rest of them if Dalton was not able to
snap me back to my senses.
“Oh, spirits!” She whimpered, her eyes
closed with her hand inside her panties.
Her legs were spread open, and I was fighting not just myself but my wolf from reaching out to her. Her heat smell alone was
making my dick painful, and the
sight of her was too much for me to take.
I closed my eyes for a few seconds, and when I opened them, I was already staring at the starless sky, pleading to the moon to
give me full control of myself and my wolf tonight.
I walked around the tree where she was leaning and sat on the other side, pulling my knees up and resting my arms on them as I
listened to her moan. Hearing her was both pleasurable and painful at the same time.
I could only hope I was the one touching
her.
Soon the moans turned into soft sobs and
it made my forehead crease.

“Althea...” My voice came out hoarsely.
“I can’t come... I want to come so bad.”
“Have you pleasured yourself before?”
“Yes... But it feels like I don’t know how to do it now. I’m so close to grabbing this branch in front of me and sticking it inside
me...”
I growled even before she could finish her words as I pushed my body up from the ground. In seconds, I was already in front of
her. I yanked her up and slumped my ass onto her previous spot before placing her on my lap, her back against my torso.
“You’re hurting me...” Her voice came out so soft as if she didn’t have any energy to argue with me, and I knew she must be
tired and frustrated with her heat.
I pulled her back closer, letting it press against my chest, and she immediately threw her head back, resting it on the nook of my
neck.
“I’m sorry. I’ll try to be gentle... I haven’t touched anyone for years. I don’t know how to be gentle anymore.”
She didn’t answer, but she began grinding her hips, rubbing her covered pussy against my shaft.
I grunted before pressing my lips on her hair. My dick was getting harder. It was
now or never.
My hand clamped on her stomach, holding her in place as my other hand trailed along her exposed inner thigh, letting my fingers
skim against her soft skin before I reached for my main goal. I slipped the thin fabric covering her wetness to the side before I
cupped her
throbbing core.
Her hands grasped my forearms, and I
could see veins popping out of her neck as she whimpered. “Blade... please.”
I pressed a kiss on her temple as two fingers slipped onto her wet folds,

rubbing them gently. She was so fucking wet, and her juices were coating my fingers nicely.
“Yes... Oh, Blade! This feels good...”
“Has anyone touched you this way before? “I asked in the softest voice I could muster. It didn’t matter to me if she had any
previous experience, but I wanted to know how far I was allowed to touch her.
“No...” Her eyes were closed and her lips were slightly parted as she arched her body.
She was indeed a sight for sore eyes.
“Althea, look at me...”
She tilted her head to the side, and the moment our gazes met, I slipped my
fingers inside her and began driving
them in and out of her in a slow, tortuous
motion.
She bit her bottom lip but didn’t take her eyes off me. And soon I was stepping up my speed, and my little witch spread her legs
wider, welcoming me more into her warmth.
“Tell me if I’m hurting you...”
“No, this feels good.” She moaned and began bucking her hips to meet my thrust. “Harder please...”
I grunted before pressing my forehead against hers as I assaulted her pussy, finger fucking her faster and deeper while my
thumb rubbed against her swollen clit.
“Yes! Yes!” Her hand clamped over mine on her stomach before she grabbed it
away and placed it on her breast. She still had her bra on, but that didn’t stop me from feeling her breasts and running my fingers
along her nipples against the lace fabric covering her.
She moaned wantonly as she pressed her face closer to mine, our mouths almost touching.
“Can I taste you?” I asked, letting my breath fan against her face.
