Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Damon

Frozen in shock, my eyes were glued to Jasper’s brown ones in disbelief.

Maybe I misunderstood him.

“Don’t give me that weird look,” he groaned, rolling his eyes boredly.

“Wake up, My King. You need a fucking heir and you need him asap!” He said with a matter of urgency in his voice.

“They can wait for all I care,” I hissed, relaxing into the leather chair before placing my tobacco in between my fingers and taking a little puff of smoke into my mouth. “I’ll give them an heir when I feel like it,” I stated. Though my words weren’t firm, they held a bit of authority.

Jasper’s head shook in disagreement. “That is not possible. Remember those coups? It’s because you don’t have an heir to take over the throne. They do that because it will be easy to become the new king after killing you-”

“But they didn’t succeed and they won’t.”

“That’s not the point, my King!” Jasper half-screamed. “You are the King and you of all people know that there are rules guiding this wolfdom. If you can’t bear an heir in a certain stipulated time, you lose your throne most horribly. Do the math.”

A cold breeze ran down my spine at the thought of Jasper’s words.

How didn’t I think of it?

It was almost the stipulated time and I hadn’t produced an heir?!

“It’s been more than four years, my King, the clock is ticking. You have to act fast,” he added, watching my expression change.

I had to act fast. But how? Ivy was dead and Rosa couldn’t even bear a child.

I was left with no option.

“It’s been years, you don’t have a mate. The people need their Luna and the heir to the throne. You have none. Don’t you know you are sitting on a time bomb?” His words interrupted my thoughts, causing my heart to race.

I was sitting on a time bomb comfortably.

How foolish!

“Without your mate or heir next year, the people will perceive you to be irresponsible, you won’t be able to keep your kingdom together and you know the consequences. Please, my King, act fast.”

“But I don’t have a mate…” I cleared my throat, to hide my shaky voice. “Or a second chance mate.”

“Worry about a mate later. Right now, you need to find someone who can give you a child.”

But who?

“Aurora,” he answered as if reading my mind.

“Aurora?” I asked, processing his words in my head.

How was that even possible?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Aurora was too pure for the life of a breeder.

She was too tender and innocent. I couldn’t hurt her feelings.

Aurora deserved a mate who would love her, someone who wants her because of his selfish interest.

It would break her heart to find out the cruel life of a breeder.

After the child is born, the mother gets terminated. On rare occasions, the mother might live for a few months to breastfeed the child before she gets killed.

Aurora didn’t deserve such treatment.

“Don’t think about it too much, My King. She is our only choice.”

“But we could get other girls from the neighbouring packs,” I protested, hoping it was enough to convince him.

“At this point, no one can be trusted. Since Aurora has been here for a few months, she is best for the job,” Jasper says emotionlessly.

All my life, I thought I was without a heart…ruthless, cruel, dangerous, until I met Aurora.

She possessed this strange fire in her that revived my emotions.

“Her job is not to become my breeder,” I argued, trying hard to not make Jasper sense of me supporting her.

“She is your property. Your wish is her command and you have the full right to do anything you want with her at any time.” His voice came out dreadfully.

I didn’t know Jasper could be this heartless.

He was right after all. Her objections were useless.

She was mine for life. Mine to use, mine to play with, mine to break.

But I couldn’t help this strange feeling in my gut.

“What if she isn’t medically fit to carry a child, just like Rosa,” I gritted my teeth as anger and disgust rose in my chest at the thought of the bitch’s name.

That was her punishment for deceiving me. She couldn’t stay barren forever.

Knowing her condition, I wondered how long she wanted to keep playing games or what she would do when the delivery date was due.

Maybe faked a miscarriage…since everything about her was fake.

To even think that I stayed all night, brainstorming about a suitable name to name the baby.

I had never felt so stupid in my life.

Fuck her!

“Trust me, my King, that girl is medically suitable to carry babies in her womb. I’ve always thought about the situation whenever the coup happens. After the last unsuccessful palace coup, I told the doctor to run a secret test on Aurora when she was ill. She confirmed that Aurora was fit to carry a pregnancy and deliver the child safely. Don’t worry about anything,” he assured, taking the tobacco off my fingers.

“There is always a solution to every problem. You don’t need to drown in alcohol and tobacco.”

It was crazy how he ran a swift fertility test on Aurora.

A part of me desperately wanted to cling to his idea, while the other part felt reluctant.

“Look at the bright side. There would be no attack once she delivers your son and you get to rule your kingdom for a long time. No one dares to mock you for being childless.”

“At the expense of her life,” I blurted sadly, staring into space.

I clasp my hand on a glass half filled with whiskey before gulping it down my throat.

“The fact that she is your property doesn’t mean her life is guaranteed. Stop talking like you care about her,” he reprimanded, shooting me a look of disapproval.

I masked my expression quickly to avoid giving myself away.

I wasn’t ready for Jasper’s questions.

“Make Aurora your breeder and your problems will be solved!”
