Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Unknown

Silas’ words echoed in Rosa’s ears filling her with curiosity.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

It was like a bell that rang repeatedly.

How could he say she knew nothing?

The urge to ask filled her to the brim but she knew better than to dwell on the topic. The last thing she wanted was a change in Silas’ mood.

The night was good and she wanted to keep it that way.

She would worry about his words in her leisure time.

But as much as she tried to erase his words from ringing continuously in her ears, it stuck there, filling her with worry, doubt, and anxiety.

She wanted to believe his words. She wanted to believe that he wanted the best for her, but then, his body language betrayed him.

She didn’t miss the way he avoided her eyes.

He clenched his fist, hiding them inside the pocket of his garment and he tried to regulate his heartbeat whether he spoke.

The bastard was hiding something.

But Rosa was too scared to react.

She would watch him keenly from a distance to know his hidden agenda

The level of trust she had for him was beginning to decline.

“Cheer up, Rosa. You won!” he announced, grinning sheepishly.

A small smile curled up on Rosa’s lips as she tried to shake off the negative thoughts of Silas betraying her.

The thought of Silas stabbing her behind her back was a hard pill to swallow.

He was her Uncle and he promised her late parents to take care of her.

There was no way he meant evil to her.

“I won,” Rosa repeated, staring absentmindedly at the glass of wine before her eyes that reflected her image.

Despite how exciting it sounded, she couldn’t help but feel something was amiss.

Her heart suddenly began to pound as fear clouded her, consuming her and wiping off the celebration mood.

“What if she comes back miraculously?” Rosa broke the silence as her face hardened.

“Who?”

“That bitch. Aurora.”

“I’ve told you, Rosa. Quit brooding. My men confirmed-”

“But they didn’t see a dead body,” she argued, heaving a sigh of worry as she cupped her hand on her forehead.

She was sure Aurora’s return was going to be a bitter one. It screamed war.

She would come for revenge.

Her return was unimaginable. It was better she was dead as Silas proclaimed.

“Listen,” he said when she had caught her breath. “No one can survive a night in the woods. That fucked up woods is filled with wild animals and rogue hunters and lots more. You see, these hunters hate rogues passionately. Imagine what they would do if they came across one?”

“She’ll be dead,” she answered. A Ray of hope shining in her soul.

She better be.

“Let’s forget about the hunters. She can’t survive the cold. She was dressed in a tiny cloth the day she was sent away. I was informed that she wasn’t allowed to pick up anything on her way out. I made sure of it. Aside from that, some animals can outsmart people and kill them,” he paused to catch his breath.

“So you see, darling. The reason her dead body is nowhere to be found is because she is already eaten by the animals. So cheer up. You are free from her…forever,” he whispered, emphasizing the last word.

“I understand, Uncle,” she said, lowering her head in submission.

“Now, drink up. Forget about that dead girl,” he said, gulping down the content.

Soon, the bottles that lined up on the table were empty, but that didn’t stop Silas from clearing them and replacing the empty bottles.

“How is the bastard, Ray?” Silas asked, sipping his drink in disgust.

The sound of his name on his lips made him harden his face.

The sound of the name against his lips made his jaws clenched.

“He is doing good,” Rosa replied. The smile on her face vanished as she seemed displeased. “He is alive. He was almost caught the day we set him up with Aurora, but with the guards’ help, after Damon ordered him to be shut in the dungeon, I switched him with another guy since Damon only met him for the first time.”

“He was blinded by rage so he won’t recognize him that fast.”

“I must confess, that was brilliant,” his upper lip curved in a smile as he patted her shoulder before shifting close to her. “Now that’s what I’m saying. You have to be a smart thinker. Always be steps ahead of people, with that, nothing will make you unaware because you will always be able to take control of the situation. Nothing will go amiss.”

Rosa’s heart nearly melted at his words, but the image of Ray erased her excitement.

She wished he was out of the way.

These days, after Aurora’s absence, he had been demanding and authoritative.

She hated him.

“Bastard,” she muttered unexpectedly, gripping the cup in her hand tighter as anger overtook her.

“Why is that? You should be happy,” Silas’ asked curiously, dropping his glass on the table as his attention was diverted to her.

“He keeps threatening me.” Rosa’s eyes shut at that moment as she tried to absorb the pain she felt in her heart.

“He keeps threatening and blackmailing me.” Rosa finally spilled out. Tears flickered around her eyes, but she blinked back to stop the tears from running.

The last thing she wanted to do was to show her Uncle her weakness.

“How?” Silas asked, staring at her in confusion.

“He still wants to sleep with me and my refusal means he will report me to the King and explain what happened with Aurora. I can’t afford to lose everything that I…” she stopped abruptly, swallowing hard.

“… that we worked for.”

“Then do it and quit behaving like you are innocent. He did it once, he can always do it again as long as our secrets are safe,” Silas said nonchalantly.

The weight of his words was like heavy blows on her.

She couldn’t believe her ears.

She should keep having sex with that peasant?!

“But I belong to the King. I’m his mistress. He isn’t supposed to share me with another King, talk more of a commoner.” Her voice hardened as fear clouded her eyes. “Damon will kill me if he finds out.” She said in disdain.

“I don’t care who you belong to, our secrets must be safe!” He warned.

“Yes, Uncle,” Rosa muttered quietly. “But what if he threatens and this time, he doesn’t want sex? He only wants to spill-”

“Then he will face the consequences. His fingers, balls, and dick will be cut off!”

“But what should we do?”

“I don’t think Ray is a threat. He is just a selfish bastard. He’ll soon get tired of you.”

“If you say so, Uncle,”

She believed his words. She hoped everything went according to plan.

She couldn’t wait to become Luna.

Her eyes traveled to the wall clock before her eyes bulged.

“I must leave. I don’t want Damon to get suspicious.”

“That bastard,” he cursed under his breath, hissing loudly.

She dropped the glass on the table, hugging her Uncle before leaving his house.

She beamed in excitement all through her journey home.

She couldn’t wait to be addressed as the Queen and Luna.

She couldn’t wait to take the position of his mate.

She deserved it. All these years, she had waited patiently and now, it was time to reap the benefits. This time, she won’t jeopardize her chances. The position of the Queen was hers.

She was about to take a dark path when a shadow passed her.. it was so swift, almost like it was not there.

“Who is there?” fear gripped her heart as she hastened her steps in the pitch darkness.
