Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

“I need some air,” I said, excusing myself from their midst and walking into my room.

Overwhelmed by confusion, I slumped on the bed, my eyes pinned on the white ceiling.

I didn’t know what to do. My head seemed blank and heavy.

I was lost, but at the same time, I didn’t want to take a drastic decision.

What if they turned out to be Damon’s lost brothers? What would I do?

What will become of me?

What happens to my joy and happily ever after?

Who would the brothers choose? Me or Damon?

Obviously, Devin and Dax would stay in the castle and rule together since they once ruled it.

I could erase the question that lingered in my mind.

The more I thought of it, the more fear consumed me.

What would happen to me?

Devin and Dax leaving me for Damon meant I would leave the rest of my life in loneliness, except I found my way to my parents’ pack.

I felt my heart squeeze in pain as thoughts flooded my heart.

I didn’t want to be tossed aside like a plaything, forgotten and abandoned again.

My heart wouldn’t take it if Dax and Devin left me.

They were already a part of me that couldn’t be detached easily.

I had grown fond of them and now, I never want them out of my sight.

If they leave, the cottage will be my home where I will live the rest of my life in loneliness and solitude.

If luck runs out on me and I get discovered by the rogue hunters, my life would be over.

Maybe Devin and Dax would plead with Damon to keep me closer to the castle since he doesn’t want to see my face.

I wanted to keep the brothers to myself and enjoy the rest of my life with them but at the same time, I didn’t want to appear selfish.

I didn’t want them to miss out on an important part of their lives.

A part of me was glad I told them their identity, while another part wouldn’t stop brooding.

Droplets of tears streamed down my eyes as I hugged the pillow closer.

They hadn’t left, but I already felt sad and lonely.

Soon, I would be miserable. I couldn’t think of life without them. They completed me in a strange way I couldn’t comprehend.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

It felt like an invisible pull joined us together.

If only they weren’t Damon’s twins.

But I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that they were Damon’s lost brothers. The striking resemblance was enough to give them away. Everything about them screamed Damon.

I didn’t know how long I buried my head wailing in the pillow until I heard a knock on my door.

I sat up, wiping the tears that stained my eyes with the back of my hand.

I didn’t want them to see me devastated.

“Hold on!” I announced before jumping out of bed in haste.

I dashed into the bathroom to wash my face. When I was done, I wiped it with my towel before staring at my reflection. My sad silver eyes stared back at me.

My eyes were sad and droopy.

Thanks to Dax and Devin.

I took a deep breath, calming myself and composing myself before opening the door.

“Hy,” I said, looking at them in a confused way.

I couldn’t even hide my jealousy and sadness anymore.

I could feel my heart aching at their absence already, making me almost hurl a curse at the Moon goddess in frustration.

Why does she make my happiness short-lived?

Why was my life a rollercoaster of disappointments?

“Are you alright?” Devin asked, tilting his head to meet mine as his gaze pinned me as if examining me.

I looked away, locking my eyes on my fingers that rested against my lap as I started to play with it.

I didn’t want him to see my reddened eyes.

“Have you been crying?” he asked, filling me with shock.

“What no!” I half-yelled, walking to the bed and scolding myself inwardly for betraying my emotions.

“I hate it when you lie to me,” he gritted his teeth in frustration, grabbing my arm as his angry eyes bored into my sad ones.

“Maybe I am. I’m sorry, I just can’t help that…” The rest of the words hung in my throat as I almost choked on my tears.

Devin’s angry eyes softened as he pulled me closer, rubbing my hair. “Don’t worry, doll, we won’t leave you,”

I scuffed amid tears. “Easier said,”

Who would leave a palace for a cottage?

He adjusted, taking his hands off me. “What do you mean?”

“You are saying this to make me feel better. You don’t have to. I know you will choose him over me because there is a huge chance that you might be related.”

I swallowed the bitterness that burnt my throat.

“And if that happens to be the case, I know it’s over between us.”

“You can’t say that yet since we don’t know him. You can’t just judge based on resemblance. People resemble each other but that does not mean they are related. Don’t take this too far. It’s just more of a coincidence,” Dax tried to explain to ease my mood.

I shook my head vehemently. “I don’t think so. Look Devin-”

“Dax. My name is Dax,” he corrected.

“Oh,” I muttered, scratching my head in confusion. “How do I tell you guys apart?”

“Our hair. Dax keeps messy hair while I keep a quiff hairstyle.”

“That’s it,” I smiled, nodding my head as I took their differences into my memory.

Devin’s face was sharper than Dax and he was more muscular than Dax.

But Damon was the sexiest of them all.

That bastard. I couldn’t get him out of my head.

The more I stared at the brothers’ eyes, it felt like I could see him.

“Can you tell us about this Damon?” Devin asked inquisitively.

“Sure,” I answered, clearing my dry throat. “He is the king of all Alphas.”

“He is an Alpha King.”

“Yes.”

Devin’s eyes danced around the ceiling before they landed on me. “How did you guys meet? No offense but you seem low in appearance. You seem like an Omega at the same time, you have a powerful scent. It’s confusing. Are you an Alpha? Is it that one of your parents is an Alpha?”

I sighed sadly as the image of my parents flashed in my head and memories came flooding.

The memory that had been buried since I became the Alpha King’s property.

“My parents are Alphas. My father was the Alpha of the Diamond Heart pack,” I replied sadly, staring at the twinkling stars that hung in the sky through the window.

“Why are you here? What is your story?” They chorused, giving me a dazed look.

“My father’s pack was under a grave attack that threatened hundreds of lives and the existence of the pack. Desperate to end the attack, I forced my father to allow the Alpha King to intervene so that he would save my father’s pack from going extinct and give us protection against rebels and rogues.” I couldn’t control the tears that trickled down my eyes, staining my cheeks.

“I should have listened to my father and escaped to my maternal parents’ pack, but it was dangerous, it would cost my father’s life, the lives of brave warriors, and the others. My father was badly injured and he wasn’t in good shape.”

“The Alpha King wanted me in exchange for protection. We were stuck because he was the only option. Disobedience was a grave offense as he could wipe out my pack in the blink of an eye. In a bid to save the life of my loved ones, I became his property for life, until I got framed and was thrown out of the castle.”

“We are very sorry, Aurora,” They chorused, giving me a warm hug.

“Did molest and impregnate you while you were at his place?”

“No. I became his breeder. He had the right to my body. He needed a son badly in order to keep the packs together.”

“Doesn’t he have a mate?”

“She died. According to him, she died some years back on the day his brothers were captured and killed. His mate was heavily pregnant when she drowned in a river. Damon said he and his brothers used to rule together and they were called The Demon Alphas because of their ruthless reputation.”

The atmosphere in the room shifted to a pensive one as we were lost in thoughts.

“As much as I don’t believe this, a tiny part of me feels this is not a coincidence. I have this tiny conviction that it’s true. I just feel so.”

My heart skipped at Devin’s words.

“How is that?” Dax asked.

“I feel I am royalty. I don’t know why. I feel I should control a large number of people. I keep having this strange dream that we are not complete and we haven’t discovered our identity. I don’t think this is the life we were meant to live.”
