Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Rate this book
Ten years after he took over as the Alpha of the Mystic Pack, Alpha Adan Stone Robinson has yet to find his mate. With the clock ticking down and the desire to produce an heir, he was left with no choice but to find a suitable breeder. An Omega would be a perfect choice—someone who could give him a son without complicating his life.

Born to a Demon King and an Omega she-wolf, Lucija (Lucia) never wanted the Demon Princess life she had. In her attempt to run away from the underworld, she found herself thrown into the world of the wolves, the only realm her father told her never to cross.

With her demon power suppressed, it was too late to turn her back on the world her species hated the most. Now, she's at the mercy of the famous Alpha of the Mystic Pack - whose sole goal is to make her his perfect breeder.

NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK ON AMAZON.
BENEATH HER DARKNESS BOOK 1 of 2

Alpha Adan Stone, at 28 years old, hadn't found his mate yet and never found pleasure anymore in every female he encountered. On the other hand, Lucy, a half-she-demon, half-she-wolf, hid her demon identity in an orphanage and was eventually sold to the Omega Feast to be auctioned to the highest bidder.

Adan was forced to attend the auction, and that was where he found Lucy. He bought her to be his breeder but found himself truly mesmerized by her. The story was a rollercoaster of emotion as Lucy slowly revealed her identity to Adan.

What I love in this book is that Adan loves Lucy even without the mate bond. He even defended her against his grandfather. Second, Adan accepted Lucy for what she was... Even the uncontrollable Beast, his wolf, was mesmerized by Lucy. She was the only one who could tame him.

The bond between them was exceptional, and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat, often leaving me wanting to know what would happen next. The book ends on a cliffhanger, but book two is available soon!

This is the first story Cassandra wrote outside of her regular shifter novels. I can tell that she nailed this one!

I love the story line! It gives you a shock factor especially the start but as always, Just trust the process as the main characters will definitely redeem themselves. I love how smitten Alpha is and that their history goes a long way back. The connection they share is so beautiful. I love reading Lucy’s reactions - she’s so unassuming and so completely lovable. The side stories are also very interesting and truly worth the read! The cliffhanger - oh my gosh. Better read the continuation asap! Another great book from the great author :)

Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha’s Little Demon absolutely swept me away. I love all Cassandra M’s books but this book holds a special place in my heart. The moment both characters were introduced in Stealing The Heart Of My Alpha I knew I couldn’t wait for their book.

Lucija (Lucy) is a mixed breed, half werewolf, half demon. She grew up with her Omega mother and step father. At the age of 6 Lucy accidentally summons fire making her father, one of the Kings of the Underworld aware of her birth. Lucy is the only daughter of King Lucien and his goal is to cleanse her of her werewolf blood. Lucy struggles to accept her demon side and wants to follow in the path of her mother, to find a love that would save her from the darkness…

At age 28 Adan Stone, Alpha of the Mystic Pack is yet to find his mate. His wolf is on the verge of going feral and the clock is ticking to produce an heir. His Beta eventually convinces him to attend the Omega Feast in the hopes that one may catch his attention. Once Alpha Stone sets his sights on Lucy at the Omega Feast, there was no turning back. How far is he willing to go to ensure he lands the winning bid for the Omega who caught his attention? How far will he go to keep her safe?

Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha’s Little Demon is captivating, it keep you wanting more. A definite must read. Another fantastic book by Cassandra M…

I loved this book! It is, hands down, one of my favorites.

Adan is a dominating wolf shifter who meets Lucy, a hybrid wolf shifter. Lucy is a sexy, quick-witted demon princess on the run from her father, the Underworld king. Lucy flees the underworld, goes into hiding, protects her real identity at all costs, and poses as an Omega. Unfortunate circumstances lead Lucy to being sold off at the Omega Feast auction.

Adan is struggling with his wolf Beast, one step away from going feral. Beast and Adan do not see eye to eye. Beast craves his mate, and Adan needs an heir, as he is the Alpha of the Mystic Pack and not getting any younger.

Adan and Lucy have steamy chemistry from the very beginning. Beast connects with Lucy. Lucy struggles with darkness and wants to embrace her wolf side, leading towards the light. Lucy's wolf side is hidden, and she has not shifted yet. Adan finds himself falling in love with Lucy. Certain events leave Lucy no choice but to return to the Underworld. Will their love survive?

This plot is entertaining and full of twists and turns. This story is binge-worthy and will keep you locked. I loved the story being dual POVs, which adds to character depth and understanding. There are some emotional parts and steamy scenes in this paranormal romance.

Absolutely one of my favorites!!

Beneath Her Darkness is My Favourite book by Cassandra M. I love all of her books but this book has a special place in my heart ❤️ An epic Tale of Alpha werewolf - Adan Stone & His Little demon - Lucy. I love both of them so much!

An Incredible Love story that crosses the boundaries of races, species & realms. A captivating Saga that weaves fantasy, adventure, romance and spice
together.
A mesmerizing storyline with Wolves, Demons , Witches & Gods in the mix.

Alpha Adan Stone Robinson is a grumpy, powerful , arrogant & hot Alpha of the Mystic Pack. It's been ten years as he took over as Alpha of the pack but he has yet to find his mate. In his quest to find a suitable breeder who can give him an heir, he meets Lucy.

Lucija (Lucy) is a Demon Princess of Kalmerus. She's half she-wolf, half -she demon. In an attempt to run away from the underworld she finds herself thrown into the world of the Wolves where she meets Alpha Stone.

Lucy is a strong, fiery female. She pretends to be a meek omega but can't control her sassy mouth and fails in it.she's hilarious. Adan tries to act tough but gives into her every whim. She melts his stone cold heart. despite knowing she's a demon, Adan loves and wants her in All Her Forms. Only she can tame him and his feral wolf . I love both of their unique wolves names perfecty match made in Heaven & Hell.

He's so possessive, dominant & protective. He goes to the depths of hell to be with her and is ready to face the Demon king for her. He's My favourite MMC. And Lucy bounds her life with Adan to save him from her father.

Their love is beyond the boundaries of species and realms and their willingness to sacrifice for each other warms my heart. I love playful banter, teasing , raw & intense emotions, tender moments & explosive chemistry between them.

Their spicy intimate scenes together are so steamy with fiery passion and their insatiable desire for each other is So Hot 🔥🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The first book ends on the cliffhanger and Adan & Lucy's Story continues in The second part of the book and" Beautiful Darkness - The She Demon's Alpha. Lucy & Adan have to face many challenges in their journey to HEA.

Did my omega miss me?

Beneath Her Darkness is an epic love story that crosses all bounderies between species and realms. A book I loved and enjoyed reading.

Lucy is a confident she - demon half she - wolf hiding in the human realm from the Demon King Lucien, her father. After spending 7 years in the Underworld, under her father guidence, Lucy ran away. Lucien has a secret purpose to keep Lucy in the Underworld and make her his heir, she is his only daugther from hundreds of males offsprings.

Adan Stone is a 28 years old mateless alpha, with no offsprings, and a wolf in a verge to go ferral. In search for a breeder he lost the interest, until the moment he sets his eyes on an omega. Lucy is the only one that can tame his wolf, Beast.

What I love about Adan and Lucy, is that they would do everything for each other, for their love. Both going to depths to protect the other. Adan was willing to go to hell for Lucy, and he did. Before going to hell, he made preparations to protect his Luna that his heart chose. Lucy bound her life to his, to make sure her father will not be able to unalive him. Lucy used everything she found in her way to find a way out for Adan. Which makes the world building so good and detailed about the werewolves packs and mates, but also about the demon world and the powers they hold. The witches are also playing an important part.

Humor and steamy moments are the flavours of this book. The attraction between Adan and Lucy is undenyable from the first eye contact. Their constant banter while Lucy pretends to be a meek omega and Adan a growly alpha is something I enjoyed.

My favourite moments are when Lucy first tranform into a demon in front of Adan, without hesitation he was attracted by her in all her forms, and his excitment was obvious. The other favourite monent is when they found out something important to them, you'll have to read to find out.The way the author described from both Adan and Lucy povs, it was well and intense as they were in a tough situation, but also beautiful.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get in a spicy demon world.

He found her at an auction,
one he didn't want to be at,
one that would forever change the course of his life.

This captivating and emotionally charged novel follows the intertwined fates of Adan, the Alpha of the Mystic Pack, and Lucy, a half-demon x half-Omega wolf princess. As Adan searches for a suitable breeder to continue his line, he encounters Lucy, who is trying to escape her destiny as a Demon Princess. Their dynamic is intense, emotional, and deeply engaging as they wrestle with their destinies and seek to maintain their independence. Lucy is headstrong, and I love her sassy mouth, while Adan, who, like all Alphas, is dominant and authoritative, with a brewing storm of emotions raging between being extra grumpy, rude, and arrogant, mainly due to his disconnection with his wolf Beast. As the story unfolds and they spend more time together, they begin to understand each other on a deeper level. Adan is captivated by Lucy's resilience and complexity, and she starts to see the vulnerability behind his tough exterior. This book does end on a cliffhanger, but you don't have to wait long for Book 2

Cassandra's extraordinary talent for intertwining her world of wolves into the world of demons and witches is nothing short of mesmerizing. The novel features multiple POVs, which are meticulously crafted, offering a profound depth that immerses you in the character's innermost thoughts and emotions, captivating your soul and dragging you into the heart of an epic, unforgettable journey.

Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha’s Little Demon is an electrifying mix of steamy romance, raw power, and deep emotional connections that will leave you breathless. The book masterfully combines intriguing supernatural elements with compelling character dynamics, making it an absolute page-turner.

Lucija is the perfect strong female lead—a half-demon, half-wolf with a fierce will and a hidden vulnerability that draws you in. Her struggle to escape her dark past and find freedom is both relatable and captivating. Pair her with Alpha Adan, the epitome of a grumpy, powerful Alpha with a deeply buried tenderness, and the sparks are impossible to resist.

The grumpy x sunshine dynamic between them is perfectly executed, with their chemistry practically leaping off the pages. Adan’s protective nature, especially with his “touch her and die” attitude, adds to the delicious tension. The age gap and Lucija’s hidden identity add layers of complexity, keeping the reader guessing and rooting for them to overcome the odds.

The story doesn’t shy away from darker, steamier moments, but it also balances those with heartfelt emotional beats. If you love strong heroines, alpha males with an untamed edge, and supernatural romance packed with sizzling heat, Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha’s Little Demon is a must-read. It’s a gripping blend of passion, danger, and heart that will have you hooked from the first page to the last. This is a five-star gem I can’t recommend enough!

Beneath the Darkness is a mesmerizing blend of supernatural suspense and passionate romance. Set in a world filled with magic, ancient secrets, and danger, the book draws readers into a captivating story of love that defies the odds. The world-building is immersive, with mystical elements like demons, werewolves, witches, and magical creatures that add depth to the plot.

The romance between the leads is intense, with palpable chemistry that grows as they face external threats and personal challenges. Their bond is both thrilling and heartfelt, making their journey one of emotional growth as much as magical adventure.
Filled with twists, suspense, and tender moments, this book is a must-read for fans of supernatural romance. The ending is satisfying but leaves just enough mystery to leave you wanting more. The only downside is that once you finish this one, it’s hard to wait for the next part, as the author leaves you hanging with a cliffhanger.

If you enjoy love stories laced with magic, suspense, and passionate romance, Beneath the Darkness is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

All I can say is HOT DAMN!
I was addicted to this book- couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed reading this book- it was well written, there were so many twists and turns of events throughout the book, the character development was great, and that cling hanger at the end- was great (but also not cool at all!!!) Makes me desperate to jump into the next book. There was a very fair share of spice in this book. I enjoyed the different perspectives that this book was written from, and not just Adan and Lucy.
I love that this book is interconnected to the Black Shadow Pack series but can be read as a standalone, I was excited to know Alpha Adan was getting his own book when introduced to him in the BSP series since he's cousins with Alexa.

BUT I think Lucy steals the show in this book- she's a firecracker of a FMC- she's a she-demon x wolf shifter, she's fiery, an absolute goddess and knows her worth!
Adan is a roller-coaster of emotions- grumpy, rude, arrogant, sweet, sometimes like a golden retriever following Lucy's every word and action. Overall, he's a sexy hot blooded alpha male wolf you cannot help but fall in love with.

Also I really want to note- their wolf names are soooooo matching and adorable, and the fact that Adan called her that nickname a few times- melted my heart!

Worth noting the tropes for this:
Grumpy x Sunshine
8 yr age gap
Touch her and d!e
Hidden identity

I first fell in love with Cassandra's Black Shadow Pack series. Then, she started the Into the Darkness series. What I love about this series is how she developed a whole new world , while keeping some connection to the wolves/characters in her other books. Indeed, Adan and Lucy's story takes a lot of twists and turns and introduces Cassandra's readers to demons and the underworld. I really enjoyed how Cassandra wrote her version of demons and the underworld. She tells so much more than just a steamy romance story (though I loved that part too). This book has an interesting and compelling plot, and I fell in love with so many of the characters and their stories. I am sure you will love this first book so much, that you'll be glad the next few books are already finished so you can go straight to reading them! :)

This was a fantastic story.
I went into the story blind and it was so worth it. The story follows Lucy and Adan with other great side character storylines.
Lucy is running away from her father and hiding who she is. Adan is an alpha that needs to find his mate or someone he can tolerate enough to sire an heir. Both meet by chance.
Their story is unique and full of suspense, emotional moments, connections, and steamy romance. I love Adan and Lucy’s relationship and how each is fighting for the other, no matter what. Especially when Lucy’s father finds her and take her back to the underworld.
The story does end in a cliffhanger but finalizes in the next book. I can’t wait to read the next book.

(Werewolf romance, grumpy sunshine, touch her and d!3, she's mine, gods/goddesses, magic)

Whoa. This was such a great werewolf romance read! Also, this story was sooooo much more than just a werewolf romance. It has all the delicious werewolf moments but also has magic, Gods/Goddesses, the underworld and a thrilling plot! I loved every moment!

There were so many amazing moments that had me on the edge of my seat, grinning and swooning. I couldn't stop reading this book. I had to know what was going to happen next. The story grabbed my attention from the very beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat. It felt complex without being overly complicated and packed in a lot of details without heavy world building! KUDOS.

Give me an extra grumpy alpha ANY DAY! Besides a delicious, demanding and bossy alpha there is a smart, sassy and bad@ss FMC. Here for it! The tension, banter, steam and spice...oh the spice...were all so spicy and delicious.

Go check this book out!

Lucija is the strong and funny FMC we all love to root for. She is no meek thing, even though she has to pretend to be for the sake of hiding her identity. If you love wolf shifter romance you will fall in love with the characters of Beneath Her Darkness. There are plenty of wolves for you to devour while reading. However, with some demons thrown into the mix you will be blown away. Plenty of banter with serious undertones throughout the book you will be hooked. Alpha Adan Stone is as serious as most Alphas with a bit of chip on his shoulder. He needs a hot blooded half demon half werewolf hybrid in his life to melt his heart and spice up his life in all the best ways. Books ends on a cliffhanger but it just leaves you chomping at the bit and wanting more. Don’t worry. Book 2 will be out soon after. Our lovely author Cassandra M won’t leave you waiting for long. In the meantime if you haven’t read her other stories, I highly recommend starting her Black Shadow pack series while you wait for this release.

Alpha Adan Stone of the north has not been able to find his mate. His wolf, Beast has been giving him a hard time and will not rest unless he finds their mate.
Lucija, the demon princess is on a run from her father Lucien, the demon king of Kalmerus.
She is beautiful and kind, she is a demon BUT also a wolf. Pretending to be a meek Omega, she has been thrown into the Omega Feast.
Beast is in awe of this Omega from the minute he has set his eyes on her. Her presence calms the wolf and the Alpha.
The demon she wolf and the alpha decide to take each other as Chosen mates.

Will Lucien find them?
What will happen when the fated mate appears?
Will Adan be able to survive the Demon kings wrath?

This book is a must read for you if you enjoy steamy Romance, a touch of darkness, a hot headed Alpha Male and a strong Female lead.

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!! I can't say "ENOUGH" about this book by Cassandra M!!! She has outdone herself!! It had me in its grip from word one until the last word!! I didn't want to put it down, but I did have to sleep lol!! 😂
Phenomenally well written, flowed seamlessly and effortlessly, excellent plot/storyline, well detailed full three dimensional characters and the list goes on and on!! I felt pretty much every emotion! I laughed and I cried & even hated(you know who of course)!
Lucy and Adan, of course, were my absolute favourites!! If I could give this book more than a five star rating I would in a heartbeat!! Congrats and kudos to the author on a job very well done!!! 👏👏👏

This is the second time I’ve read this book and it’s even more wonderful than the first time! Adan and Lucy’s story is one of true love. All of her books are amazing and this is slightly different because it includes wolves and other supernaturals. Each chapter keeps you on your toes wanting to know what happens next! I love that even though story is based in a different location, it is still connected to her other series and on the same map. Thank you for another great read and I can’t wait to keep reading more. I know anyone who reads it will enjoy it.

Beneath her Darkness: The Alpha’s Little Demon is captivating from beginning to end!!! I did not want to put it down. At first I was skeptical about reading this book since it was so different from what I’m used to reading but I am happy I read it. The love story of Alpha Adan and Lucy is what most girls dream of having in a mate. I can’t wait for the next installment of this series since it ended on a cliffhanger. The author is an amazing writing and I definitely recommend this book. Trust me you won’t regret reading this book.

Welcome the the North!! From the same world of the Black Shadow Pack but no rules or council to govern the packs. Adan is a strong grumpy Alpha in need of an heir since he still hasn't found his mate. Enter Lucy the supposed meek omega with a sassy mouth. Lucy is hiding secrets and her true identity, but as the couple learn more about each other the chemistry sparks. This book is loaded with emotions, sassy banter and steamy scenes. Cassandra brought in more supernatural species and weaves them into this world perfectly!!!

One of the best supernatural stories I’ve read lately. Storyline is different than others, strong but not annoying lead characters, just enough spiciness. I enjoyed the ride and couldn’t put the book till the last pages. Of course it ended with cliffhanger which made me sad a bit but even after a few days I am still wondering what’s next and I cannot wait for the next book.

Holy dang I loved this book. It was fun stepping into a different part of cassandra world and meeting new characters. Lucy and Adan story is full of twists and turns, sorrow and sacrifice, Love and heartbreak but I promise there is a HEA. There is spice and there are times you want slap a couple of male characters upside the head for being idiots.

Beneath the Darkness: The Alpha’s Little Demon

I first discovered Cassandra M through Goodnovel, and I’m so excited to see her work on Amazon! She is well-known for her books in the werewolf genre, but Beneath the Darkness adds an extra fantasy element. Not only does it take place in the werewolf world, but it also intertwines with the demon underworld.
Adan is an Alpha whose wolf is going feral, terrorizing those around him because he has yet to find a mate at 28 years old. Desperate for a solution, he is convinced to attend the Omega Feast in hopes of finding a suitable mate—or at the very least, someone who piques his interest enough to give him an heir.
Lucy is half-werewolf, half-demon. She grew up living among the werewolves with her mother, but after her mother’s death, her demon father took her to the underworld. Seven years later, she managed to escape and found refuge in an orphanage. To stay safe, she lied about her age, claiming to be two years younger than she really was. When she turns 18 (or so everyone believes—she's actually 20), she is forced to attend the Omega Feast, where she meets Adan.
Their connection is instant, and they fall in love while facing trials and tribulations, each trying to protect the other.
This book is hard to put down, and it ends on a cliffhanger—I can’t wait for the next one!
⚠️ Mature content advised.

I loved Adan & Lucy's story. I was hooked from the first chapter & couldn't wait to see where they took me. This is my first book from Cassandra M, and it won't be my last. I foresee myself spiraling through her books.

Adan is broody, and Lucy is fierce. Lucy is exactly what Adan needed in his life, and Adan for her. I loved the side characters and the world she created. This isn't just a shifter romance but there are demons & witches with their own magic systems.

Cassandra writes some great spice ! In my opinion, the spice did not take away from the plot. She does a great job balancing the spice and plot.

This book is a duet and there's a cliffy 🤯. I'm also so excited to read about the side characters in their books
