Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

My heart skipped a beat as I shot Devin a look while adjusting to my seat.

The atmosphere became tense, increasing the heat in the room.

Despite the ventilation, my body broke out in sweat as anxiety got the best of me.

My head started to feel light and my eyes were heavy as I started to feel dizzy.

I felt a part of me going insane. My heart couldn’t bear any more words as they seemed to cut through it, leaving it bleeding.

I hated that all my predictions were turning true and I couldn’t help but feel a stab of pain in my heart

Gritting my teeth, I shut my eyes tightly to stop the tears before releasing them slowly.

I exchanged eye contact with Dax before resting my eyes on Devin.

Devin cleared his throat before proceeding. “Sometimes, I dream about it while sometimes, I feel it. I don’t know how I can describe it best to your understanding, but there was a day I had a migraine. It was one sunny afternoon after I returned from the river. I saw a rodent drowning, but as I was about to help it out of the water, it was like a bulldozer crashed on my head.”

My brows arched as I leaned forward. My eyes trailed Devin’s hand as it landed on his temple, rubbing it as if suffering from a migraine.

He looked into the distance as if he could see the event playing before his eyes.

“I managed to rescue the rodent and direct its part into the woods before the ache intensified. It didn’t take long before I started seeing flashes of events. It was like a vision. It was as if I was in another realm, I didn’t understand what was happening to me. Events were playing in my head. That moment, I felt the river took someone or something from me, I didn’t know why I felt that way.”

“I left the river in pain, running home as I was almost blinded by the migraine. Immediately I got home, I slumped. A few days later, Dax told me that I was unconscious. But during the days that I was unconscious, I saw unexplainable things. I didn’t know whether to call it a dream or my past. I saw myself, Dax, and another man who looked like us. We were Kings and there was a beautiful lady beside us.”

Devin’s jaws tightened. “Whenever I tell Dax about it, he laughs it off and starts making fun of me. At one point, I thought I was crazy because everything wasn’t making sense. One minute I am myself, the next minute, I feel like I am a lost soul who needs to be awakened to my true identity. Sometimes, I recollect words I’ve said in the past, while sometimes they might be names of people.”

My heart started to pound as anxiety took over me. “Can you tell me the words or names?”

“I might not be sure but I know of Ivy, but I only know who she is. I remember telling my brothers that we would be having a pup. I also remember fighting against intruders. That’s all I can say for now, but there are more.”

I wasn’t quick to stop my breath from hitching in shock at his words.

Did he just mention Ivy?

I could vividly remember Damon saying something about having a mate named Ivy and how she drowned in a river during an attack.

I connected all the dots in my head.

Everything felt like a connection.

Devin’s story and Damon’s story were like pieces that led to a whole.

As much as I didn’t want to believe it was real, I needed to face reality.

But what if it was a mere coincidence?

It had to be a coincidence.

Despite being doubtful about it, I had to console myself by convincing myself that Devin, Dax, and Damon were not related.

“Is everything okay?” Devin asked after noticing my shock.

“Nothing much,” I smiled nervously, looking away from him.

I didn’t want him to get a glimpse of my troubled state.

“But you-”

“Can I speak freely?” Dax interrupted while I heaved a sigh of relief.

I muttered a thank you.

He saved me from Devin’s questions.

“Sure,” Devin urged, diverting his attention to Dax.

“I feel the same as Devin. I know I’ve always made jest of his words, but I feel what he felt. When we woke up from a coma, we couldn’t remember anything. The diamond bracelet on our hands made us know we were related as it carried our names and there was also a crown carved beside it.

Devin flared as he launched at Dax but I was quick to stop him.

“To even think you made me feel stupid!”

“Sorry, bro. I thought it was the effect of the isolation. We’ve been alone in this cottage since God knows when.” Dax apologized, somehow, his words calmed Devin.

“How did you guys get here?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“We met ourselves here, a woman and her husband nursed us back to health. They told us we were found by the river. They took us and treated us for some months until we recovered.”

Eerie silence consumed us as we were lost in thoughts.

“Take us to him,” Devin suggested, increasing my anxiety.

“What?”

“Yes. We want to be certain that it’s him.”

“But what if he tries to harm me? You know I didn’t leave the castle on good terms with him. He clearly warned his guards to hurt me on sight if they get a glimpse of me close to the gate or the premises.” I said, hoping it would be enough to convince them.

“He won’t hurt you. We will fight for you and protect you with the last drop of our blood.” Devin affirmed.

“We swear on our lives,” Dax added, but it wasn’t enough to calm the storm raging in my heart.

“Fine, I will take you to the King. We shall leave tomorrow morning.”

*****

We set out before dawn, navigating the way in the bush.

My heart pounded in anxiety and anticipation each time I remembered how close we were to the castle.

My heart was flooded with thoughts.

I couldn’t believe I would find my way back to the castle after I was treated like a dog the last time.

It’s been months and things have changed.

Will Damon’s heart soften?

Maybe, maybe not.

He seemed betrayed with the look in his eyes the night he sent me away.

I don’t know if he would ever forgive me.

What if he orders me to apologize?

Was I ready to apologize for an offense that I didn’t commit?

Was I ready to face him?

Was I healed enough to control my emotions?

Have I forgiven him?

My head started to throb as many thoughts ran through.

I hope I didn’t lose it and lash out at him concerning our son.

Trapped in confusion, I didn’t know whether to tell him about our son.

It was important I brought it to his attention since he was his father.

I let out a bitter scoff as sadness engulfed me.

To think that he doesn’t believe he was the father of the child made me wave the idea.

Thanks to the bastard who framed me.

I couldn’t wait to get to that castle

Once I was granted access, I would vindicate myself.

I swear to the moon goddess, I will make the person pay for ruining my life.

Deep down, I felt it was Rosa but I didn’t have enough evidence against her. Her high rank made it impossible to punish her.

“Is it still far away?” Dax asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Yes. It took me a few days to get to your place, though I was slow because I was pregnant, hungry, and cold,” I replied.

It’s been two days in the woods. Two days of surviving on edible fruits, roasted animals, and stream water.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

But they made it fun, from exchanging between themselves to carrying me on their back whenever I got exhausted to having hot sex with me under the moon.

The huge castle was in view, but it was already in the evening.

I was doubtful if Damon would receive visitors in the evening.

The more we drew closer to the gate, the more my heart began to thunder in fear.

Sweat broke from my forehead and I started to tremble.

“Stop!” I ordered, straining my ears after sensing a movement in the bush.

The rustling leaves confirmed my curiosity.

We were surrounded and one step could end our lives.

“Stay put, we are surrounded,” I said, holding Devin and Dax as we froze on the spot.

“Who are you and state your business?” A deep hoarse voice came from behind us before resting his gun on my head.

It didn’t take long before a group of warriors circled us, pointing their weapons at us.

“We don’t mean harm. We just want to see the King.”
