Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Damon

My heart almost exploded in my chest out of excitement as I marched to the private ward where Devin and Dax received treatment.

I couldn’t get them out of my head. They seem to occupy the thoughts in my mind.

For the first time in a long time, I felt alive.

I felt complete.

With my brothers by my side, I couldn’t help but thank the Moon goddess for keeping them safe.

The void in my heart was filled.

Everything felt so perfect, it was like a dream.

“If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up from it,” I muttered as a satisfactory smile crossed my face.

Jasper smirked, peeking at me from the corner of his eyes before smacking me.

“Why did you hit me?” I asked, staring at him in a confused expression.

“To prove it to you that it’s not a dream. Your brothers are back for good,” he said, flashing a proud smile at me. “I’m so happy to see you like this. It’s been a long time since you genuinely smiled. Their absence shook you hard and it brought out the dark side of you. Thank goodness it’s over now.”

It’s finally over.

My grief, my demons, the guilt that poked my heart was finally over.

I couldn’t deny that since Devin and Dax’s arrival, a huge part of me has changed.

I was all over them. I didn’t mind neglecting the packs’ affairs just to be closer to them.

From dusk to dawn, I sat by them, telling them stories of the events we shared and promising them protection.

Sometimes, I read their favourite books and sang their favourite songs. The last time I did it was when we were kids, but I didn’t mind repeating it.

It was a part of me that was long buried but has started to resurface once more.

Even if they were still in a coma, I felt they would hear me and somehow, they would remember everything.

I couldn’t wait for their memory to be restored.

I couldn’t wait for the Demon Triplet Alpha Kings to be back.

Jasper’s eyes scanned the mountain of books in his hands before glancing at me.

“Why take so many books when you won’t stay there for long?”

“Who says I won’t stay there for long?” I cocked my brow, giving him a stern look.

“The doctor. You’ve been elongating the visiting hours-”

“And I shall elongate it as much as I want. I am the Alpha King and my wish is everyone’s command,” I declared proudly, leaving no room for discussion.

Jasper’s sigh reached my ears but I ignored it.

To hell with the doctor.

He wouldn’t dare say it in my presence if he didn’t want to lose his tongue.

Despite acting all tough, fear loomed in my heart.

After my brothers’ return, I felt I shouldn’t leave them or take my eyes off them for a second.

I was scared that they would vanish in the flash of light.

It took years to find them and I won’t lose them again.

I would protect them with the last drop of my blood, I swear by the Moon goddess.

I felt Jasper’s intense gaze burning my face but I ignored him. I was so engrossed with my brothers.

If not for the warning, I felt like asking them how they survived on their own for years.

“You are so handsome when you smile,” Jasper started as he rested his eyes on my happy ones.

“Shut up, Jasper,” I hissed, irritated by his behaviour.

“It’s been a week and you’ve been full of joy and expectations. I can’t wait for you to be back to your old self and for you to have a complete family. I am happy to see you happy. Your days of agony and suicide are finally over. You are finally free from hallucination and punishing yourself with wolfsbane

I shut my eyes as his words began to affect my heart.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Thank goodness I didn’t take my life. Who knew my brothers weren’t dead?

I swallowed hard, blinking fast as I tried to suppress my emotions.

“I love you, though you can be a pain in the ass.” Jasper chuckled, hitting my shoulder.

I tried to grab him, but he was quick to avoid my hand. “Don’t forget you are talking to your King.”

“Long live the King,” he said while we laughed it off.

But our laughter was cut short as we heard sounds of choking from the corridor.

I motioned Jasper to stop laughing while we moved closer to have a clearer view of the figures standing in the dark corridor.

The moment I was blasted with peach, lavender, and vanilla scent, I halted in my tracks.

A deep frown settled on my face as hurt spread all over me.

It was like my heart was crushed as Aurora came into view.

For a second, I was confused.

As much as I would love to allow Rosa to choke Aurora to death because she hurt me, at the same time, I felt a twinge of pity.

I shrugged, pushing the feelings aside.

How dare she step into my castle’s premises despite banning her.

She was lucky I was in a good mood or her head would have been used as a decoration outside the gate.

Her days were numbered in the castle.

When I am done attending to my brothers, I would send her into the woods where she belongs.

A slut and a traitor like her doesn’t belong here.

There was no way I would accommodate her in the castle after what she did to me.

Seeing her made me hate myself for falling in love again.

I was afraid of what I would do to her.

“What is wrong, my King? The ward is this way, why are you going the other way?” Jasper asked, walking to meet me.

I was about to turn away from the scene, go to the ward, and pretend I didn’t see anything, but Aurora’s teary face flooded my head.

Goddess knows how hard I tried to push my feelings aside, but I couldn’t help myself.

I hated that I couldn’t look past her discomfort and her pain brought me pain.

Why did she even come back?

Why was she messing with my feelings?

Why couldn’t I ignore her despite what she had done to me? I still felt a strange connection between us that I hated so much and found it difficult to understand.

“Don’t you dare lay your hands on her! Leave her at once!”
