Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

“Are you alright, Aurora?” He asked, his voice laced with concern as his hazel eyes didn’t leave my silver ones.

Panic overtook me as my eyes were glued to my arm.

The speed at which it healed was a miracle. I could barely see the open wound as the tissues began to fuse.

As if that wasn’t enough, a strange fuel filled me, erasing every trace of weakness in my body.

I could feel my feet grow stronger.

Surprise filled me as I lifted my eyes to meet Dax’s worried ones.

How could this be possible?

Was Dax my mate?

A scuff rolled off my throat at the thought.

Maybe my emotions were starting to get the best of me.

Dax could never be my mate.

“Aurora?” He called again, this time louder as he shook me gently.

“I’m fine,” I said, snatching my eyes from his compelling ones.

Relief flushed through his face. “You fucking scared me. I was in the middle of a workout and…” The rest of his words fell on deaf ears as my eyes trailed from the back of his ear to his neck.

I swallowed hard as my gaze lingered on Adam’s apple.

The way it moved rhythmically whenever he spoke melted me.

My fingers itch to touch it…to grab it. And my tongue longed to suck on it and lick it.

Slowly, my eyes trailed a straight line from Adam’s apple to his nipples and rigid chest.

I found myself leaning closer to him in admiration.

I didn’t take my eyes off the droplets of sweat that tickled down his chest to his belly button, falling off to stain the tiled floor.

His toned abs were the next to attract me.

He was built like a god and I couldn’t wait to get buried underneath him.

The urge to hug him tight and sniff his musky scent engulfed me, but I held myself together.

The growth of the feelings I nursed inside of me increased daily.

I hope I didn’t lose myself around them since they didn’t feel the same way about me.

The firm grip Dax had on me made me melt effortlessly in his arms.

While Dax’s body was enough to make me lose concentration, Devin’s body was capable of making me go insane. Dax had lean muscles while Devin’s muscles were prominent. He had the body of a gym instructor or a bodybuilder.

Same with…

No!

My eyes shut in pain as Damon’s image flashed in my head.

I had promised myself not to think about him, or anything that was associated with him.

I hated him. He killed my baby.

If he hadn’t driven me out of the castle, I wouldn’t have lost my son.

But I wouldn’t have met Dax and Devin.

A surge of emotions fleeted through me. I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad at Damon’s banishment.

At least, I wasn’t his property anymore. I was as free as a bird.

For the past painful three weeks of my life, Damon and Dax had been the best thing that happened to me.

“Is everything alright?” Devin’s voice boomed from the hallway, startling us and making me pull away from Dax’s embrace.

Devin was quick to enter the kitchen, catching a glimpse of our closeness before shooting Dax a look.

Dax wore a long face as he heaved a sigh.

“I smell blood. What happened?” Devin demanded authoritatively. His heavy footsteps were the only sound that broke the short silence.

“She cut herself,” Dax explained, showing him my hand.

He rushed to grab my hand before it fell, examining it thoroughly. “It’s not much, but be careful next time. I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”

I nodded like a toddler receiving instructions from her uncle.

“Why does it look like you are crying?” Devin’s voice echoed in the room, making my heart skip a bit.

“Not really. It was uhm…onions,” I lied, avoiding their gaze.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“There is no fucking onion anywhere.” His eyes covered the kitchen cabinet before resting on mine.

“Don’t lie to me. I can sniff your lies,” he said, making my heart thump loudly in surprise.

“Don’t tell me that you are crying because of that jerk?” Dax asked. His voice slightly raised in anger.

“No!” I quickly said, but Devin’s eyes caught mine, making me scold myself.

How does he even detect lies effortlessly?

I avoided his compelling gaze, scratching my head with the tip of my fingers.

“Stop lying and stop crying over him. He isn’t worth it.”

“It’s not that easy to forget about the man that deflowered you,” Dax said in a low voice, patting me on my shoulder. “Take it easy on her Devin. I’m sure she still has feelings for him.”

“I don’t!” I gritted my teeth as memories of how I was thrown out of the castle flooded me.

“Can you tell us what happened? Before fleeing, did you let him know about the pregnancy?” He asked before taking a seat on the countertop.

“He knows.”

Anger flashed in their faces. “Then why did he treat you this way? Doesn’t he want a child? Isn’t he your mate?”

I could feel their intense stare on my neck as they searched for a mark.

“He isn’t my mate. He ow…” I stopped myself from blurting.

I didn’t want them to know that Damon was once my master.

They could get frightened and ask me to leave since I once belonged to the King.

On second thought, Damon didn’t own me anymore.

Thanks to my being framed, I regained my freedom.

When I’m well enough, I will plead with Dax and Devin to take me to my parents’ pack.

“What happened?”

“I was framed. He wouldn’t even let me explain myself before throwing me out in the cold.” I tried to explain, biting my lips to avoid breaking down in tears.

“That bastard! For the sake of the child, he should have considered. He seems like someone who doesn’t think things through. He acts in emotions,” Devin stated, staring at me for explanations, but I wasn’t ready to get into that conversation.

“He didn’t believe the bay was his because someone set me up.” I swallowed hard, shutting my eyes to stop the tears from pouring.

“I don’t want to talk about it. It’s in the past.” I said, putting an end to the conversation.

With those words, I left the kitchen, racing to my room to brawl my eyes out.

I hated to think about Damon, it filled me with hurt.

The past was in the past and it was time I moved on..

As far as I was concerned, Damon was dead to me.
