Chapter 95UnknownLast night's event replayed in Rosa's head, making her mutter curses at Ray. That bastard! How dare he threaten her? Who fed him the guts?All through the night, she couldn't sleep, dreams of Ray snitching on her and exposing her deeds to the King haunted her. It got worse that at a point, she was scared to shut her eyes, she didn't want to see his hateful eyes. She barely slept. She was certain that dark circles would have formed a ring around her eyes. It didn’t take long before the dreams turned into a nightmare, making her jolt awake in fear with beads of sweat dripping from her body. It was like she ran a marathon repeatedly. Cloaked in fear, let out a deafening scream. It was as if Ray had appeared in her room, flashing her with his wicked grin. Her blood ran cold and the hair behind the back of her neck erected. It was like he was pinning her with his deadly glare. Frightened to death, she hurriedly switched on the light, scanning her room rapidly
Chapter 96Aurora“I need some air,” I said, excusing myself from their midst and walking into my room. Overwhelmed by confusion, I slumped on the bed, my eyes pinned on the white ceiling. I didn't know what to do. My head seemed blank and heavy. I was lost, but at the same time, I didn't want to take a drastic decision. What if they turned out to be Damon’s lost brothers? What would I do? What will become of me? What happens to my joy and happily ever after? Who would the brothers choose? Me or Damon? Obviously, Devin and Dax would stay in the castle and rule together since they once ruled it. I could erase the question that lingered in my mind. The more I thought of it, the more fear consumed me. What would happen to me? Devin and Dax leaving me for Damon meant I would leave the rest of my life in loneliness, except I found my way to my parents’ pack. I felt my heart squeeze in pain as thoughts flooded my heart. I didn't want to be tossed aside like a plaything, forgot
Chapter 97AuroraMy 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 heartGritting 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 drownin
Chapter 98Damon“I have pressing issues to attend to and the last thing I want is to be a part of your foolery!” I growled in anger, storming into my bedroom. The stress of today's work was like a burden on my shoulders, it weighed me down, making me tired. It felt like tons of bricks were placed on my shoulders. I left the office in haste as my eyes were heavy with sleep and a dull ache stung my head. The last thing I wanted was some guard to inform me of how three people were asking after me and how two of them had a striking resemblance to me. I thought he was joking at first, but then I saw seriousness in his eyes. I wanted to believe him, but at the same time, I held myself back. What if he was sent to mock me about my past? The only people that resembled me were Devin and Dax and they were long dead. There was no way he could see them except he was dead. Perhaps he was drunk. How lucky he was. No one dared to make me remember my past in a mockery manner and go scot-fr
Chapter 99UnknownRosa fumed in anger as she paced about her room, discarding things that came up in her way. Her feet stormed the floor and her hands rested on her hips. She halted briefly, cursing an invisible person before resuming pacing the room. Her head was on fire. She couldn't sleep all night, images of Ivy kept haunting her, filling her with raw fear. Since Ivy had died, she rarely dreamt about her, but it wasn't enough to drive her amok. Tonight was different. The hurt and betrayal on Ivy's face were replaced with a cruel smirk and vengeful expression. Her sad and droopy eyes were brightened in victory and even her words were creepy. Rather than accusing her of taking over her position and cutting her life short, he simply smiled dangerously. “Your end is near.” Those were the creepy words that slipped from her mouth. What did Ivy mean by her end was near? As far as she was concerned, this was just the beginning. But as much as she tried to push her anxiety, sh
Chapter 100UnknownDisbelief cloaked Rosa as she pinned her widened eyes on Silas’ mean ones. Did he just order her to kill Devin and Dax or were her ears deceiving her? “But—” Rosa stammered as she couldn't find the right words. “I know it sounds like I'm asking you to do a lot, but we can't take down Damon if his brothers are alive. They are stronger together.”Rosa's face fell as the effect of his words sank into her head, but at the same time, she weighed the consequences. “I have never killed anyone, talk more of two men!” Rosa half-screamed in frustration. A slight noise from behind the curtain caught their attention, but they were engrossed in their conversation. “Says who? Don't act all innocent, you were ready to kill Aurora,” Silas blurted, pointing accusing fingers at her. Rosa hit her forehead on her palm. “You don't get it. I always sent someone to do my dirty deeds for me. I don't get involved because I also need to protect myself.” Silas scoffed. His palms rubb
Chapter 101DamonMy heart almost exploded in my chest out of excitement as I marched to the private ward where Devin and Dax received treatment. I couldn't get them out of my head. They seem to occupy the thoughts in my mind. For the first time in a long time, I felt alive. I felt complete. With my brothers by my side, I couldn't help but thank the Moon goddess for keeping them safe. The void in my heart was filled. Everything felt so perfect, it was like a dream. “If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up from it,” I muttered as a satisfactory smile crossed my face. Jasper smirked, peeking at me from the corner of his eyes before smacking me. “Why did you hit me?” I asked, staring at him in a confused expression. “To prove it to you that it's not a dream. Your brothers are back for good,” he said, flashing a proud smile at me. “I'm so happy to see you like this. It's been a long time since you genuinely smiled. Their absence shook you hard and it brought out the dark sid
Chapter 102EsmeraldaTears ran down my eyes freely as my aching back met the wall. Tired of standing for hours, my back slid down the wall. Once again, I huddled up in my cell, wrapping my hands around my legs as my face was buried in between my lap. History had repeated itself.And it was quite unfortunate. The cold bit into my exposed skin and I cuddled myself tighter as if to shield me. I should have worn a thicker top and jeans. Not a crop top and bum shorts to welcome my mate. And now, I was paying dearly for it. Hungry mosquitoes feasted freely on my pale skin, sucking every bit of my blood generously. Though it hurts, those weren't my concern. In fact, they were the least of my concerns. Three nights in this cell were like hell. Three nights of anguish. The first night was unbearable...I almost couldn't cope with the discomfort. But now, I have gotten used to it, just like I did in my former Pack. I wasn't given a chance to do anything. Not even changing into new cl

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
