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
Chapter 43Damon"You what?!" I growled, my voice reverberating throughout the room. My eyes darkened in anger as I took daring steps towards her, watching her almost collapse on the floor in fear. This had to be a joke. Or maybe my ears were deceiving me. There was no way she would lay a finger on my property. "You are joking, right?" A bitter laughter erupted from my lips before it faded quickly, replaced by scorn. My blood rippled in anger as she nodded her head negatively, confirming my doubts. "How dare you lay your filthy hands on her?" I asked authoritatively. As expected, there was no response to my question. But beneath her eyes was a bitter expression. I don't care anymore. Rosa would always be a filthy bitch to me! It was a privilege that I plunged my royal dick into her. She wasn't worth it! My conscience began to prick me at the thought that she was the mother of my unborn child. If only Ivy was alive, I wouldn't have to go through the shame of impregnating a w
Chapter 44DamonCall me the most confused guy in the world and I'll accept. Ever since Aurora collapsed, my buried feelings resurfaced. I thought I was good at masking my feelings. I thought being cold and ignoring her would kill the goddamed feelings. I thought I was good at playing ruthless, but Aurora's presence messed me up. I didn't even know who I was anymore. Each passing day didn't go without me stopping to check on her. And each passing day didn't go without filling me with the urge to pull her close. I missed the feeling of her head on my chest, enjoying my racing heartbeat. I missed the feeling of her silky hair on me and her warmth. And Goddess…her sweet scent drove me crazy. Everything about her reminded me of Ivy.Despite drawing closer to her, I tried to keep my distance at the same time. I didn't want to be overwhelmed by this strange feeling buried in my chest. Gently opened the door not to startle her, I peeked to see what she was doing. Relief washed ove
Chapter 45DamonBeads of sweat broke free from my hairline as I racked my brain, processing my words. Weighing them, nervousness got the best of me, making me remain mute. Gross silence fell in the room and the only thing that could be heard was the loud thumping of my heart and the exchange of our tensed breaths…maybe my tensed breath. What did I even want to tell her? That I was sorry? What if she laughed in my face and made me feel like a fool? No doubt, I wanted to apologize for my wrong behaviour, but I couldn't bring myself to spill those words. Was it so hard to apologize? Yes. I was the Alpha King and a King never apologizes. Thanks to my ego. Her brows arched in anticipation as she glared at me. Words eluded me as it felt like my tongue was tied by invisible forces. "I…" I stammered, unable to string words together. "You know what? Nevermind." I muttered dismissively, looking away. "You should take your drugs now," I stretched my hands to pick the medicines layin
Chapter 46Damon"She is strong now. The only concern is the scars. Meanwhile, I found something that we can use to make the scars fade. I will get the nurses to rub oil on her back." The doctor explained, adjusting her boring glasses before balancing it on the bridge of her nose. "Why won't they heal on their own? And what kind of oil is it?" I inquired, throwing a concerned look at the scars that were marred on Aurora's back. "My King…" She cleared her throat before swallowing. "The scars you see are as a result of the whip she was flogged with. The whip cut deep into her skin and according to reports, she was flogged over 200 times before she passed out. The tip of the whip was coated with silver, the impact tore her skin each time it landed on it. Before you came to her rescue, she had already lost consciousness and she was bleeding for about…" She paused briefly before peeking at the book in her hand."Three hours. It's a miracle that she wasn't in a coma. And about the oil, it

Chapter 138Bonus Chapter (Author's Pov)My mind reflected on the crazy event that happened a couple of weeks ago.It took a week before I could recover from the trauma. Thanks to the triplets, care, and support. At the end of everything, there was good news.Ray's burnt body was found, and he was successfully buried in the cemetery under my instruction.But Rosa's body had not been found. Reports came that she was burnt beyond recognition as the building collapsed, trapping her in it. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but the words of affirmation from my mates made me strong. As long as they were alive, nothing would hurt me anymore.“Enough of the tragic event, Aurora. Enjoy the moment with your mates,” Rue encouraged while I wasted no time, burying the thoughts. My eyes danced around the plethora of food that sat in the basket, waiting to be devoured. A giggle slipped from my mouth as my stomach growled. Not because I was hungry, but because I was excited to eat the fo
Chapter 137Aurora The sound of footsteps broke the eerie silence that hung in the room. The atmosphere shifted, and a deadly aura swept through my nose, signifying danger. I needed no soothsayer to inform me that my killer was near. But despite the darkness, I could sense a bit of familiarity in the strange figure that approached me. Judging from the scent, I could swear that I knew the person. Who could it be? Dim light flooded the room, and the strange figure came into view at once. My eyes bulged, and my jaws dropped in shock. My heartbeat accelerated at an unimaginable pace, and my face washed blank with confusion. “Ro…Rosa?” I stammered when I found my voice, pinning her with a look to be sure she was the one. “In the flesh, love.”I watched in horror as Rosa strode to where I was tied up before letting out hysterical laughter. Fear crawled over my body, prickling my skin. My blood almost ran cold the moment her smiles turned into an angry, sinister look. How could
Chapter 136Aurora “Can you reduce the AC a bit? I'm feeling a little cold,” I told the driver, rubbing my palms together to generate heat as I could feel goosebumps erupting from my skin. Once the air conditioning was reduced, I rested my head on the window, enjoying the smooth ride while my mind wandered back and forth to my parents' pack. I missed them. I wish I wouldn't have to leave them for a day. But I had to visit my mates as I have already spent more than the days I negotiated. I twirled my fingers around my hair idly as boredom accompanied me. A smile found its way to my lips as the events of the previous days flashed in my memory. I had a swell time with my parents and Eve. My dad and I went hunting and camping in the woods for three days after the party.I missed the experience. He taught me how to survive by myself for years in case of danger. I learnt how to make fire with dry sticks and sharp rocks in case there wasn't any provision for lighters and matchstic
Chapter 135Aurora “Mum,” I mouthed as I was unable to speak. It was as if my voice was seized by an invisible force. Tears ran freely down my eyes as I was blasted by my emotions. It was hard to control, I couldn't help but succumb to it. More tears poured from my eyes like flood the moment reality clicked in me. Mum.I haven't said that word in years. All I knew was pain, suffering a little moment of love before I was hit by abandonment. My throat was blocked, and my voice was cracked. My vision was blurry. Without moving an inch, I stood rooted to a spot, admiring my mother with teary eyes. Goddess, I missed her. She hadn't aged a bit. It was like her beauty doubled over the years, but beneath her perfect looking face were dark circles and eye bags lodged under her eyes. I needed no soothsayer to tell me that she had been crying during one of those sleepless nights. My grip tightened around the tiny strap of my bag as I tried to wipe my tears. Old memories crashed u
Chapter 134Aurora “What?” My jaws dropped in disbelief as I shot him a doubtful look, urging him to repeat what he just said.My heart wouldn't stop racing in excitement and anticipation as bits of his words echoed in my head. Maybe I was assuming things. He was still my master and he wouldn't make a grave mistake of releasing me since he wasn't sure if I would take it as an opportunity to flee. “What did you say?” I repeated as anxiety got the best of me. My heart wouldn't stop pounding as impatience ate me up from within. Could he just spill it already?!“I said you shall see your parents tomorrow and you are free to do whatever you wish as from now on without restrictions because you are my mate and I accept you…” I didn't let him finish the words on his lips before throwing myself on him. My joy knew no bounds, and my heart was swollen with happiness. My arms were wrapped around him, and my head dropped to his neck, inhaling his sweet scent before tugging him closer for
Chapter 133Damon“It's not a problem, I'm healing already.” I forced a smile, trying to convince her that I was alright when I felt the opposite. My jaws tightened as the burning from the hot coffee went straight to my brain, causing my hand to sting painfully. She frowned in displeasure before pain flashed before her eyes. She knew I was lying. She could feel part of my pain, thanks to mate bond. I followed her exhausted eyes that trailed from the spilled and broken cups and plates to the cabinet. A weary sigh rolled off from her lips as she hissed in annoyance. I was going to make her repeat breakfast the second time. I was a jerk, and my presence screwed things up. “It's not a problem, I can clean the kitchen and fix a quick breakfast in the blink of an eye. You wouldn't even notice that anything happened,” I flashed a nervous smile, hoping to impress her, but the frown on her face deepened, expressing her anger for wasting her effort. Maybe if I had stayed behind, this
Chapter 132DamonWith expectations and remorse heavy in my heart, I knocked the door before me gently. As expected, I was met with no response. I let out a sigh as my face dropped in sadness. It was starting to get frustrating, but I wouldn't give up, not after all I caused as a result of impatience and rash decisions. Sometimes, I wish I was calm and calculative, like Devin.But patience wasn't my thing. I killed my sons and lost my mate's affection. She treats me like a piece of furniture, ignoring me as if I never existed.It hurts so badly knowing she was happy without me. Her silence was enough to drive me insane.It was then I realized how ill I treated her all this while. I knew I was a bad mate, and I deserve more. She shouldn't be with me. She should be with my brothers, who made her happy and full of life. For weeks, the three of them were as thick as thieves. They hardly go anywhere without each other. I admired them.Despite playing tough, I wanted Aurora for m
Chapter 131Unknown Ray's excitement tripled as his plans were going smoothly without any interruptions.Seems getting rid of Rosa was a piece of cake. He should have done that a long time ago.He flashed a smile at her, revealing his ugly dentition while collecting the glass cups. “Would you play us a song, something light, a happy song while I pour us a drink,” he requested politely. Rosa fought back the urge to roll her eyes at his pretense. “Sure,” she nodded, dashing to the nightstand where her phone laid.She backed him as she surfed through her phone to get a suitable song. Swinging into action before Rosa got a clue, his fingers disappeared tactfully into his pocket. They reappeared with a piece of paper between them. Ray peeked at Rosa from the corner of his eyes to monitor her movement and body language. His heart wouldn't stop hammering against his ribs as tension got the best of him. Satisfied that she was glued to her phone, oblivious of his intentions, he quiet
