Chapter 65UnknownThe loud thumping of Silas' heavy black boots against the floor broke the silence that enveloped the heart of the dungeon. All eyes were glued to their feet as Silas made his way straight to Rosa's cell. His dreadful aura and his high position in the castle were enough to cause fear to radiate within them Turning sharply, he motioned to the guards, demanding their absence which they obliged as no one wanted to get on his bad side.Satisfied by their obedience, he stopped walking when he got to an isolated cell. His hands fumbled in his pockets for some seconds before he brought out the keys and unlocked the cell. His face turned dark as he gritted his teeth in anger. Muttering curse words, his eyes were pinned on Rosa who was fast asleep. A bile of anger arose in Silas' throat, causing him to shake his head as he stared at Rosa. Her feet were bound to the chain that was connected to the ground while her hands were bound to the chain that was connected to the
Chapter 66UnknownRosa's eyes widened in disbelief. It was as if she was seeing a new version of her Uncle. No doubt, he was dubious and cunning, but he didn't think under pressure. Rosa was certain that the situation affected him a great deal, making him think under pressure. "What is his weakness?" She asked, scolding herself for getting lost in thoughts while he spoke. He hated repeating his words twice. "Ask me one more time and I'll cut off your left ear. I see no reason why I'm thinking hard and you can't recollect what I just said. Maybe it would be best if you were without ears. You are worse than a dummy!" He flared, panting hard as anger got the best of him. Rosa heard his words though they were like painful lashes against her skin. She wouldn't let it get to her. His solution to her current predicament was paramount. "I'm sorry, Uncle," she apologized, bowing her head in respect. Silas' heart softened a bit, making him clear his throat. "Damon has a hot temper th
Chapter 67UnknownOvertaken by Disbelief, Rosa slapped his hand off her body. Anger flashed in her eyes as shot daggers at him. Slowly, she retreated until her back touched the wall. As soon as she realized how shabby the house was, she pulled away from the wall. She didn't want to get stained from his shabby little house. A loud hiss erupted from her lips as she stared at him dead in the eyes."Are you insane? Do you know who is standing before you?" Rosa asked, reddened in anger. Maybe a quick reminder would fix his poor memory. "Do you even love your wretched life?" She added, fuming. "I believe my sight is working perfectly and if I'm not mistaken, I can see the Mistress standing before me," he replied proudly, a wide smile spreading on his rough face. "And you know the meaning of what you just said? The stupid condition you told me to meet?" Her voice rose as her anger doubled. "Perhaps you are drunk as usual." Her voice came out low. That must be the reason he asked fo
Chapter 68AuroraWho says marigolds aren't beautiful? Staring at the Colossus Red Gold type of marigold flower before me, I couldn't help but get lost in its rare beauty. The deep burgundy petals gilded with gold were enough for me to fall in love with it and brighten my full mood. Perfect! I couldn't take my eyes off the beauty right in front of me. Overtaken by pregnancy hormones, tears welled up in my eyes but I was quick to blink it back. I hated it when I let my emotions control me. I didn't want to lose it before a stranger. "They are worth…it," I stammered, collecting the bouquet from the strange man's hand. Waking up without Damon by my side made me sad, especially when he told me that he would be out for days. I didn't know how I would cope without him. It was like my happiness depended on him, but now that he was leaving, it broke me. But all wasn't lost. When I thought I would be miserable, the goddess sent me a friend. Though he looked dangerous, he seemed fr
Chapter 69AuroraAlarmed by his strange behaviour, my hands flew to his face, smacking it hard. Fuck! How could he?! I trusted him as a friend even though I just met him. If only I knew he was a fucking perv. My heart broke at the thought that my wolf tried to warn me, but I turned deaf ears. Tears blinded my eyes as I pushed him away from me, flinging his hands off my breast. It didn't take long before I discovered that his other hands clutched my waist tightly. His audacity! I wasted no time removing it from my waist before running away from him as fast as I could. My vision was blurry, but I didn't stop running. I wouldn't wait a second around him. I didn't know his next evil plan. I would fall for his tricks again. I hadn't left the garden when I noticed flashes of light from a distance. I halted in my tracks, turning around to have a closer look at it, but it was gone in the blink of an eye. Maybe it was my imagination. "Forgive me, Aurora, I got carried away," he
Chapter 70DamonI walked into the room, quietly closing the door behind me so as not to make a sound. Waking Aurora was the last thing on my mind as I didn't want to announce my presence. I heaved a sigh as I strode across the room, to the bed she was lying on.The soft snores and her rhythmic breathing confirmed that she was fast asleep. Perfect. Work was hectic, the packs' affairs were about to make me go crazy. The stress of work was getting on me, making me exhausted, irritated, and dull. Inhaling Aurora's sweet scent and snuggling her in my arms for some hours was the therapy my tired body needed. Aurora was my medication. She healed me. The buzzing of my phone ignited my anger, making me groan loudly. I've heard enough of the packs' affairs. They can fix themselves until I arrive tomorrow. Without bothering to check who it was, I dropped the call, switching my phone off before burying it in my pocket. "My King…" Jasper's words filled my head immediately, interrupting m
Chapter 71DamonDisbelief cloaked me like a garment, causing my heart to race at an unimaginable pace. Beads of sweat gathered on my forehead as Rosa's words kept ringing in my head. She had proof? If she had proof, then it was true. Never had Rosa shown me proof of any allegations she laid against someone. But this time, she wanted to risk it.If only I believe her. No, Damon. Rosa is a liar and a pretender who shouldn't be trusted! My subconscious yelled at me, but I still couldn't help the curiosity buried in my heart. "Aurora is cheating on you with Ray and I have proof." Her words floated in my head again, exposing my fears and confirming my doubts. If she was making this up, she wouldn't be so daring and convincing. Rosa was a lot to handle, but I could sense it when she was serious about a pressing issue. I was lost in thoughts as confusion overtook me. My next decision could make or break Aurora. Fuck! I didn't know whether to believe her, but deep down, I didn't
Chapter 72DamonI wanted to let out a deafening growl. I wanted to punch the wall hard until my fist bled profusely. I wanted to grab Ray by the neck and rip his throat out while I watched in satisfaction how his blood would gush out of his veins and stain my claws. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't speak. The fear of breaking down before Rosa got to me. The last thing I wanted was to let my guard down before her. Aside from Jasper, no one has seen me hurt and I preferred it that way. I felt a strange blockage in my throat, making me clear my throat so as not to make my voice appear shaky before her. I was the Alpha King and I was tough. Nothing could give me an emotional breakdown…maybe this one could. How could I blindly believe Aurora and the doctor?How could I be fooled the second time? I felt so stupid, so used. I let Aurora's naivety and innocence blind me. Of course, she would want to get back at me for separating her from her family. "Turns out I was right af
