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
Chapter 73DamonRestlessness got the best of me as my eyes were glued to my wristwatch. I couldn't think straight. I couldn't give commands as usual. It felt like I was a robot, programmed to perform the task of checking the time. I almost lost it when the time began to crawl. It felt as if 7 am was impossible to meet. My jaws clenched as anger filled me to the brim, causing heat to radiate off my body. My body was tense and in a matter of minutes, I would lose it completely. My actions drew suspicion from my workers, especially from Jasper. It was so obvious that Jasper arched his brow at me, his eyes communicating to me, but I looked away, ignoring him. I wasn't ready for his unending questions. It didn't take long before beads of sweat started to gather on my forehead. "You might need this, my King," Jasper retrieved a white handkerchief from his breast pocket and placed it on my hand.I forced a smile at him, taking it before looking away sharply.I growled inwardly, sc
Chapter 74DamonIt was like a bucket of ice was thrown at me. For some minutes, I was motionless, watching the two lovers nibbling and kissing each other passionately. My jaws dropped to the ground and my eyes popped out of their sockets. This wasn't real. My hands began to shake and my breath turned ragged in anger. I swallowed the bile rising in my throat as my jaws clenched. It was like I was glued to the spot. Frozen by shock, I couldn't move. All I could do was stare at the unfolding event. As much as I didn't want to accept it, I felt my heartbreak at the sight. It was like an invisible hand clenched my heart, squeezing it tight. I thought the feelings we had for each other were mutual. I thought she was Ivy's replacement. I thought I heard mate faintly whenever we made out, though I haven't thought of that much. Turned out I was wrong.She was a bitch. Suddenly, the air around me grew harsh and I was finding it hard to breathe. It was like I was slowly suffocating
Chapter 75AuroraWith a heavy heart, I navigated my way into the woods alone, afraid and confused. Cold bit deep into my skin, filling my body with goosebumps. Drenched under the rain, my hair and my wet clothes were glued to my body, filling me with a shivering sensation. I hugged my small frame as I made my way deep into the woods, walking fast as paranoia got the best of me. My sneeze became more violent as every minute went by and my nose was running like a tap. The wind after tonight's heavy downpour caused my teeth to clatter. I tried rubbing my palms together to breathe a little warmth, but it was in vain.Afraid that I was lost in the middle of nowhere, tears streamed down my eyes, rolling down my cheeks before mixing with the rainwater. I craved warmth. I craved shelter. But there was none. Unconsciously, my hands flew to my stomach as if shielding it from the impact of the mighty wind. My heart broke into tiny pieces when I remembered that I was pregnant. Poor bab
Chapter 76DevinToday's work was hectic. I lay on the bed in exhaustion with my partly closed eyes pinned to the moon that shone in all her glory. It was strange. The Moon had never shone so bright in the dead of the night. I felt a lift in my spirit… excitement about something, but I couldn't place my head around it. But deep down, I knew this night would be different from the rest of the nights. I didn't know why I had that conviction, but I couldn't get the feeling off me. "The Moon is so beautiful, Dax," I blurted, mesmerized by the beauty that beholder my sight. "Dax?" I called again, this time louder, but I was left with no response. I tilted my head to see Dax lying on the couch with a book in his hand. Dax could sleep anywhere. The noise from the book was enough to wake him up, but for some reason, he remained asleep. The more I stared at the moon, the more I felt connected to it. It was like the Moon goddess was trying to tell me someone about my life and the life
Chapter 77Devin"A girl?" I repeated, confusion getting the best of me. But how could that be? What could she be doing in the woods at this ungodly hour? Shouldn't she be with her parents or guardians? Who was she running away from? Was she here for us? How did she find out where we live? Fear gripped me at the thought that our hideout was exposed and soon, people would keep trooping in and out. We didn't want anyone's presence. We were fine by ourselves. Other wolves' presence screamed trouble and that was the last thing we wanted. "What do you think, Devin? What is she doing here? Is she a rogue?" Dax whispered, looking up at me for answers. "Trust me, I'm as confused as you are," I replied, squatting to retrieve my knife. "Do you think we still need the knife since we know that she is just a girl?" Dax asked quietly, moving towards the motionless girl. The last thing we wanted was to startle her. "Not yet, what if she is armed? What if she is a rogue and a spy? Just
Chapter 78Damon"My King." I heard a feminine voice call. Despite being in the same room with the person, I was far away. My mind was in the woods. For weeks, I haven't been myself. As much as I didn't want to admit it since Aurora left, I've lost my spark. I've lost the spark of happiness in me. After the death of Ivy, Aurora was the only woman to revive that spark…but now, it was gone. Nothing made sense anymore. My demons grew in thousands, haunting me day and night. My nightmares were slowly becoming a reality that I couldn't escape. My illness got worse. Dax, Devin, and Ivy were the only people I saw…but this time, I saw Aurora. It was strange because the rest of them were dead, but Aurora wasn't. I was left in a state of confusion. I thought I only saw them because I loved them dearly, but what was it about Aurora? Why was she appearing to me? Why do I keep speaking to her imaginary figure? My recent behaviour caused unrest in Jasper. He was afraid that I would be
Chapter 79Aurora I woke up to the melodious song of the birds. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned tiredly, stretching my body. The room was still dark as the sun hadn't risen yet. "Too early," I groaned lazily. I took off the duvet that wrapped my body, proceeding to stand before it clicked in me. I didn't sleep in my room last night. Captured by the masterpiece I glanced through, I was glued to the chair. Mated To The Blood Alpha by Oluwaseun Oyogho took over my attention. It didn't take long before my boredom vanished as I kept myself busy with the book. Page after page, yet, I wasn't satisfied. My eyelids became heavy, still, I couldn't close the book. I wanted to fill my head with more spicy chapters. Defeated by sleep, I placed the book on my chest, leaning on the couch. But here I was inside my room, on top of my bed. I didn't have a history of sleepwalking, except if someone was…A small smile played on my lips as my cheeks flushed in embarrassment. It had to be Dax

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
