Chapter 35DamonMy brows creased in confusion, causing my forehead to form a small v as I stared at her, trying to process her words. Did she just surrender herself to me without fighting back? Or were my ears deceiving me? Swept by disbelief, I glared at her, waiting for clarifications. "I'm in for whatever you want to do to me. I'll give you anything you want. You saved my life." Frozen by bewilderment, my gaze was locked on her determined ones, observing her every move. She pulled back, lifting herself from my weak body carefully before getting off the bed. With eyes pinned on mine, her fingers trailed the length of her zip, before they pushed it down, allowing her slim fitted gown to fall to the ground. My mouth dropped in surprise as I was greeted with the body of a goddess that stared back at me, pleading with me to run my fingers on it. How dare she wear clothes when she has a perfectly sculpted body? I swallowed impatiently, resisting the urge to grab her at once as
Chapter 36Unknown(change of POV)Consumed by impatience, Silas paced about the room, occasionally peeking through the window to have a glimpse of the person approaching. His hands were clasped behind his back as he took hastened steps covering the length of his sparsely furnished room in a flash. Anger rose in him as his heartbeat accelerated. His breath turned erratic when his eyes met the wall clock, making him hiss loudly in irritation. "Bitch!" He cursed, clenching his fist into a ball before hitting his couch hard. Particles of dust erupted from his couch, invading his nostrils and making him cough. Leaning against the couch, his hands lowered to the table to take a small glass cup filled with whiskey. After draining the content, he let the cup fall to the floor, ignoring the shattering pieces of glass that dropped on the floor. The light in the room reflected on the broken pieces of glass, making them glitter like precious stones under the fluorescent light. But that didn'
Chapter 37Unknown(Change of Pov)Tension hung in the air as silence stretched uncomfortably between them. Both of them were lost in thoughts, nurturing and planning their next moves. Rosa heaved a sigh of relief at the thought that her meeting with Silas was over. Silas' dull eyes were suddenly brightened with anger as he glared at Rosa who flinched, moving backwards as fear crept into her heart.Observing his body language, Rosa maintained a distance from him, afraid that he would pounce on her at the slightest provocation. "Why is she still there?" Silas' cold voice broke the silence before his angry eyes landed on her. A wave of confusion hit Rosa as she tried to process all that Silas had said but her head was blank. "She? Who are you referring to, Uncle?" she asked, weighing her words to avoid getting hit by Silas. "The new bitch in the castle, dummy!" he flared, screaming at the top of his lungs. How could she forget Aurora?A frown settled on Rosa's face as she tilted h
Chapter 38Damon A sudden surge of sadness and confusion enveloped my heart the moment my eyes stirred open. My eyebrows shot up in worry as I tried to recollect the cause of my sadness. Turns out I had a dream. Except it was one of the strangest dreams I've ever had. Buried in confusion, my fingers travelled to my forehead, caressing it as the dream replayed in my head. I could have tossed it aside and taken it as part of my imagination…but it wouldn't leave my memory easily. Still, I couldn't figure out what the dream meant. Why was Ivy staring at me expressionlessly? Why wouldn't she talk to me or even come close? Despite calling unto her, she kept her distance, covering her protruding belly as if protecting our unborn child from me. My heart sank to the pit of my stomach as realization hit me. She only gave me that look when I had done something wrong and she was trying to accommodate my excesses. But what have I done wrong? I've always been the best mate she would ev
Chapter 39DamonMonths went by, I couldn't wait for the arrival of my heir. The feeling of pride and happiness consumed me as I made the calendar my companion, marking the days as it crawled. It didn't take long before Rosa and I became close. Even if I didn't feel anything for her, at least, for the sake of our baby. The last thing I wanted was for the baby to notice our broken relationship. I felt my heart swell in joy at the thought that I was finally complete. Fuck those who mocked me. I was going to be a fucking father at last! I couldn't wait to order their execution as soon as my son arrived. But until then, their miserable days were numbered. Though I and Rosa haven't gone for scans together I felt my presence wasn't necessary since the nurses took great care of her. A smile played on my lips when I remembered Rosa screaming at the top of her voice about the baby's gender. I couldn't wait to hold my son in my arms. I couldn't wait to spoil him rotten and make him d
Chapter 40AuroraRosa's unexpected order sent an electrifying jolt through my body, leaving her speechless. An icy feeling flooded me, freezing me on the spot in disbelief as the reality of the situation sank in. Scrub the floor?! Why would she tell me that? They were cleaners assigned to scrub floors. As far as I was concerned, I was the Alpha King's property, not her property. The earlier she got that into her thick skull the better for her. The room fell into stunned silence as her shocking words hung in the air. The astonishing news hit us unexpectedly like a thunderstorm, allowing a gasp to roll off the King's mouth. I was certain she was joking. Or maybe my ears were deceiving me. "Are you deaf or do you need a special invitation?" She spat, anger and irritation laced in her voice. "Oh, are you waiting for me to beg before you start working?! Don't make me repeat myself after this or you'll have broken bones. Scrub the damn floor!" I'll have broken bones? She sounded l
Chapter 41AuroraI was exhausted. I couldn't wait to finish my unending chores and sleep like a baby.Tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks as I was buried in chores. Thanks to the mistress of evil.My eyelids became heavy and I dozed off while working occasionally. Nothing could relieve me of my work, not even the growling of my stomach. A sigh of relief washed through me as I finished extracting juices from dry leaves with my hands. My fingers sting painfully as I squeeze the last drop of juice into the cup, before discarding the leaves away. The pungent smell of the herb made my nose cringe in disgust. Why was she fucking taking this concoction anyway? Wasn't the smell enough to make her puke? I wasn't pregnant, but I felt like throwing up already. A spark of happiness coursed down my spine at the thought that I was done with my work. Now, I had to worry about climbing the enormous stairs since she banned me from using the elevator. A shooting pain enveloped my joints
Chapter 42Aurora I screamed in horror as the heat from the tea burned my face. Involuntarily, I grabbed a handful of my clothes, wiping the hot liquid off my face. My tears were mixed with tea as they flowed freely from my eyes. A jab of pain and anger flared in my chest as I fought hard not to retaliate. I was so close to slamming her head against the wall, but for the sake of her baby and my life, I'll let it pass. Tears gathered in my eyes as I wiped my face with my palms. The tears weren't as a result of the hot tea she spilled on my face. The tears were as a result that I couldn't fight back. I was defenceless. The only person that could come to my aid was not around. Even if he was around, he left me at the fate of his evil mistress. My face met my arm as I wiped my tears. Was this how I was going to continue to live? Like a slave? Was this how reduced I had become? Maybe I should have fled to my mother's pack where I would be treated like the Alpha's daughter like
