Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Damon

Restlessness got the best of me as my eyes were glued to my wristwatch.

I couldn’t think straight.

I couldn’t give commands as usual. It felt like I was a robot, programmed to perform the task of checking the time.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I almost lost it when the time began to crawl. It felt as if 7 am was impossible to meet.

My jaws clenched as anger filled me to the brim, causing heat to radiate off my body.

My body was tense and in a matter of minutes, I would lose it completely.

My actions drew suspicion from my workers, especially from Jasper.

It was so obvious that Jasper arched his brow at me, his eyes communicating to me, but I looked away, ignoring him.

I wasn’t ready for his unending questions.

It didn’t take long before beads of sweat started to gather on my forehead.

“You might need this, my King,” Jasper retrieved a white handkerchief from his breast pocket and placed it on my hand.

I forced a smile at him, taking it before looking away sharply.

I growled inwardly, scolding myself for giving my emotions away.

Now, Jasper wouldn’t stop bugging me.

“Is everything alright?” His voice came out calming, filling me with surprise.

Jasper was almost as ruthless as I was. How come he sounded so caring?

“You can talk to me,” he added, placing his hand on mine, but I was quick to shake his hand off.

I wasn’t comfortable with same-sex closeness.

“Or not,” his voice dropped as he pulled back, staring at the window in silence.

Much better.

I shifted uncomfortably in my chair, relaxing my back before undoing my tie.

My head began to pound as several thoughts floated in it.

I wiped my sweaty hands on my lap before checking to see the time.

Still 6:40?!

Maybe if I ignored it, it would move faster.

Frustrated, I let out a groan, unconsciously attracting Jasper’s attention.

“You need to tell me what is eating you up,” he resumed, walking away from the window and sitting at the edge of my table.

“Nothing,” I gritted my teeth, heaving a tense sigh.

“Seriously? But your face doesn’t look like you are fine to me.”

Goddess!

Fucking let me be!

“Everything is perfect,” I growled lowly.

Jasper let out a scoff, facing me. “Then explain why you are sweating when the AC is on. Your words don’t add up, you know.”

I heaved a sigh, frustrated by Jasper’s persistent questions.

“Fine. You will get to know soon,” I answered. But I knew my response wasn’t enough to shut him up.

“Why? Is it serious? I am your Beta, your right-hand man. I should know whatever is bothering you. I have never seen you in this mood, that was the reason I was inquisitive.”

“I know. Just stay put. I’ll tell you about it soon,” I assured. Relief washed through me when I saw him nod his head in understanding.

“Have you checked on Aurora today? The doctor said it would be nice for the father to bond with the baby, even if he is still in the womb. She also said Aurora would need to take another scan to determine the position of the baby. She asked if Aurora was taking enough bed rest…”

“Stop it!” I yelled, interrupting him. I couldn’t help but bang my fist on the table sending the documents to fly to the ground.

Jasper gasped in shock at my actions.

“I don’t want to hear any more words about her,” I warned.

“I see,” he said before going silent.

“What about the meeting at the neighboring pack? You are supposed to have left…”

“They can wait,” I said proudly.

Slowly, I watched the hand of the clock turn, indicating that it was 7 am.

At the speed of light, I stormed out of the office, heading to Aurora’s room.

Now was the moment of truth.

“My King…wait!” Jasper’s voice trailed behind me, racing to catch up with me but I didn’t stop.

“Because seeing is believing. If the picture hasn’t convinced you, a live movie would play before your eyes. I’m sure that would be enough to convince you that Aurora is not who she claims to be.”

Rosa’s words echoed in my head, causing my heart to thump loudly in anticipation.

I increased my pace, ignoring the guards and workers who greeted me.

I had more pressing issues at hand.

It was time to determine the accuracy of Rosa’s words. If Aurora was innocent, then Rosa would be put to death immediately. But if Rosa was telling the truth, I would make sure Aurora, her low-life bastard lover, and her bastard child suffer.

I halted as I got to Aurora’s door and my heartbeat quickened at a great speed.

I wanted to open the door, but at the same time, I wasn’t ready.

Opening the door meant two things. Whatever I see could make me or break me.

“My King, why are you acting…” Jasper asked as he made his way to where I stood. I hurriedly motioned him to stop talking.

I swallowed hard, shutting my eyes as my hand found its way to the doorknob.

Chills from the metal knob ran down my spine, causing my hand to shake.

How was Aurora able to make me feel this way toward her?

I hope what Rosa said was a lie.

I tried to hear what was going on but nothing could be heard.

I tried to picture an image of what Aurora and her lover were doing inside the room, but nothing came to my head.

I was very disorganized.

It didn’t take long before I decided to sweat profusely. My palms grew moist with sweat.

Summoning courage, I turned the doorknob, pushing the door quietly to have a view of the room.

Confusion hit me when no one came into view.

Was Rosa playing with my feelings?

Where was Aurora?

I peeled my head further for a better view.

My heart fell into the pit of my stomach when I saw Aurora kissing Ray as her life depended on it.

Was this a dream?

Was this an imagination?

Is Aurora in bed with Ray?
