Chapter 121 Aurora I found myself sitting by the river bank with my hands filled with sand and my flare ankle-length flowery gown soaked with water. My eyes shut in satisfaction as the cool breeze swept through my face, tossing my hair in different directions. The calmness of the environment was therapeutic as I could listen to the river flowing, splashing against a few big rocks that stood in its way. It created a melody so pleasing to my ears and soothing to my nerves.It was strange how I grew fond of the river within a short time. It rapidly became my refuge. Without a care in the world, I buried my dirty fingers into the sand to retrieve small flat rocks that were stuck in the soil, which I ended up tossing across the river. “Argh!” I groaned in frustration as the stone didn't make it across the other side of the river despite its slim width. I gritted my teeth in annoyance as I threw another rock again for the tenth time, but it ended up sinking into the depth of the cl
Chapter 122 AuroraPartially paralyzed by shock, my eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as I stared at the strange lady as if she had developed two heads. Were my ears deceiving me? If she was Ivy, it meant she was dead.Ivy was long dead as a result of drowning into the river during the war. “You are…” I tried to say, but my shaky voice failed me, making me gasp for breath. For the next few minutes, the wind grew violent, causing goosebumps to blanket my body, and fear filled my heart. I had been talking to a ghost all these while. “And your son?” I asked in a whisper. My voice was so low, I thought she wouldn't be able to hear me.She shot me a pitiful look before her eyes trail to her son. Her eyes conveyed a plethora of emotions–sadness, anger, pain…I recognized that look. It let out a burst of fresh memories in my head. I would never forget the day Damon threw me out of the castle despite being innocent. Courtesy, Rosa. She swallowed the bile in her throat before
Chapter 123UnknownRosa's breath grew erratic as the atmosphere was tense. The only sound that echoed in her ears was the wild beating of her troubled heart. She swallowed the uncertainty that started to form in her throat, pushing it far back as she put on the garment of bravery.Now wasn't the time to back down. It was now or never. There was no way she would let this golden opportunity slip off her hands. Driven by courage, she took in sharp breaths, preparing herself for the worst before lifting her hands in the direction of the gadgets. Stretching her fingers, she wasted no time in dropping them quietly on the phone and the wrist watch but her heart flew to her chest the moment a strong hand held her soft ones in a hard grip, followed by a deafening alarm sound that filled the air. Alerted, she withdrew her hands at once before clasping them around her ears as the high pitch sound penetrated deep into her eardrums, causing a sharp pain in her head. She was busted, and it
Prologue (Marked By The Demon Triplet Alphas)Unknown The air in the ward was tense as screams, curses, hisses and groans flew from different directions. Above all, the air was heavy with high expectations...one wrong move could end it all, cutting the expectations short. On the beds laid two heavily pregnant women, drenched in their sweat. Let's call the first woman with high rank, "I" and the second woman low in rank, "V". "One more push, V, you are doing great!" Beatrice, the pack's nurse encouraged as she rubbed V's head tenderly and patted her shoulder, "You can do this, you are stronger than this pain," Empowered by the encouragement, V shut her eyes, grabbing a fistful of the bedsheet as she pushed hard, allowing the infant to slip out of the entrance of her opening. Exhausted, her head fell back against the pillow as she took deep breaths, struggling to recover from the intense pain that engulfed her. "Is it out yet?" She asked weakly as if almost out of breath. "Hold
Chapter 1 Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings Aurora.I let out a weary sigh when my eyes met with the huge clock that rested on the wall. It was past 1am. Yesterday's chores were heavy. Despite starting them very early before anyone was awake, I finished the next day with no break at all. Nathalia, the Alpha's daughter was pleased to see me buried in work. She rejected anyone's attempt to assist me and punished them severely...just like she always does. Her actions pulled people away from me as they were scared of her harsh punishments. No one dared crossed her or they'll be sorry! She enjoyed seeing me miserable, it was some sort of entertainment to her. It pleased her to see that I had no one on my side.Nathalia and I were born on the same day by different mothers. We shared the same father, but her mother was the Luna while my mother was the Alpha's mistress...or the Alpha's whore. Twenty years of our existence, Nathalia hates me without a reason. It was understanda
Chapter 2AuroraI drifted to sleep not long after I was thrown into the dungeon to rot throughout the night.I could feel the worms in my stomach growl in hunger, reminding me that i hadn't eaten throughout yesterday. I was so engulfed in chores that I didn't eat. Nathalia made sure of that. Despite being fast asleep, I couldn't stop my teeth from chattering in fear as I hugged my battered body tighter. The night was going to be a long freezing one. Panicked shot through me as I felt a pair of tiny legs scurried across my body. It could only be one thing. Rats! The Moon goddess knows how much I detested those creepy creatures. A scream tore from my mouth as I sprang up to my feet in a flash of light, running to a rat-free spot. I muffled another scream as my head hit the hard brick wall and I fell to the cold floor at once. For some seconds, everything went blank as my head rang repeatedly. I massaged the throbbing spot on my head as I sat, resting my back against the wall
Chapter 3DamonMy canines gritted in anger as my eyes narrowed to meet the half-dead man pleading for his life before me like a coward. I hated cowards! And pleading only rekindles the burning inferno inside me. "Be a fucking man, not a pussy!" I lashed at him, ignoring his screams as my elongated claws dug deep into his flesh, slashing his ugly face. "You weren't pleading when you joined the conspiracy," I spat, irritated by his pitiful state. Fucking hypocrite!"Please, my king," he coughed weakly. I could feel his pulse getting weaker as seconds went by. By the way his blood oozed, he won't last long. "It was the devil," His trembling fingers grabbed the edge of my shirt in desperation. Blinding rage washed over me as my eyes turned red. How dare he touch my cloth with his filthy hands?! He was lucky he didn't touch me. "It would be a pleasure to send you back to him," I shot coldly, ripping out his heart from his chest and watched his lifeless body slump down like a pack
Chapter 4Damon"My King!" Rosa bowed briefly, stopping what she was doing before shooting me a questionable look. I could smell her surprise. My arrival threw her off balance, I could sense it with the look she shot me. Was she expecting someone else? She dares not! I could feel my anger build up at the thought of her seeing someone else apart from me. Her pussy was mine. No one should fuck what I was fucking. Relax, Damon, she is only a mistress. A tool for pleasure and enjoyment. Easily discarded when wornout. Anger spread through me at her reluctance to take off her see-through dress."Are you waiting for a special invitation? I said strip!" I commanded, struggling to contain my anger. Why was she acting like it was her first time? Even if it was her first time, I was the Alpha King, I could get what I want anytime I want without questions. The bastard's words still echoed in my head. It affected my temper badly that I had to transfer the aggression on her. Fuck! "Yes, m
