Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Chapter 107

Aurora

Rue’s words caught me by surprise.

It baffled me that she didn’t explain deeper before burying herself inside my head.

Lost in the abyss of confusion, I left the corridor, before walking to my room.

I was careful this time as I tried not to bump into the grumpy Mistress of Evil.

Her drama was the last thing I wanted.

My eyes went to the direction that Damon and Jasper left for and the urge to follow them consumed me.

He doesn’t want you, Aurora, leave him alone!

My subconscious yelled at me, slapping common sense into me.

The last thing I wanted was to get caught and thrown into the dungeon.

I discarded the thought before walking to my room.

Unlike my other luxurious room, this one was shabby.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

It screamed ‘slave’s room.’

The room was empty, save for the mattress, a small wooden table, and a wooden chair.

Damon instructed me to stay there without a servant helping me until he thought of what he wanted to do to me. But it’s been days.

Maybe he hadn’t found the right punishment. But I wasn’t bothered about that.

Rue’s words hammered against my heart as I sat on the chair, lost in thoughts.

I didn’t realize someone walked in until I was shaken.

I almost fell from the chair in fright when a soft hand grabbed me.

Heaving a sigh of relief, my heartbeat returned to normal when I saw Alex with a worried look plastered on her face.

I was about to smile and embrace her, but what was the use?

She probably views me as a bad person.

Reluctantly, I pulled away from her grasp, taking a few steps backwards.

“I know you have heard about the rumour and you hate me, but it’s fine. There is no point in justifying myself because no one believes me. But for the record, I’m innocent. I…I didn’t cheat on the King, I loved him…I didn’t know Ray’s other intentions…Everything happened so quickly and…” I burst into uncontrollable tears, making me unable to talk.

Despite fighting it hard, I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I let the tears flow.

“I believe you,” she assured, freezing me on the spot.

I gasped in shock, staring at her in disbelief.

“You what?” I asked again to be sure I wasn’t misunderstanding her.

“I said that I believe you. I know that you are innocent.”

Unable to control my excitement, I threw myself on her body, engulfing her in a bear hug.

“You were framed, I saw it, but before I could react, it was too late. You were thrown out. I tried to talk to Damon but he was consumed by anger.” she stated as her eyes bored into mine.

Her eyes glowed with sincerity.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t talk to Damon, it’s dangerous especially when he is angry. He does irrational things and he could kill me.

I blame and punish myself every day…I’m so sorry…” she broke down in tears, tightening my hug.

Her tears soaked my clothes, but it was the least of my worries.

Relief coursed through me.

Finally, a ray of hope.

“Don’t be hard on yourself. I am happy that you believe me. I thought you hated me.”

“I will never. That day, I saw Ray spill something in the soup he gave you. I watched him from upstairs, but before I could rush to warn you about it downstairs, you had drunk it.” she explained, sadness consumed her teary face.

I stiffened in disbelief as I tried to recollect things.

“I knew it!” I half-yelled, and my heart drummed in anticipation. “After taking the soup, it didn’t take long before I started feeling strange. He drugged me, that bastard!” I screamed in anger, hitting my fist against the wall.

“I can’t believe I fell for it after what he did in the garden. I’m so stupid!” I cursed, resuming punching the wall so hard that my knuckles began to peel and bleed.

“Don’t hurt yourself. The deed has been done,” Alex tried to console me, but I slapped her hand away.

How could I bring this upon myself?!

First, it was not listening to my parents, now it was turning blind eyes to Ray’s suspicious actions.

“Leave me alone, Alex, I’m a fool!” I wailed before collapsing on the floor.

I didn’t mind that the ground was hard and my fall was painful, I deserved it.

My foolish behaviour cost me my son and my relationship with Damon.

I hated myself!

“I just want to strangle myself and not bother anyone. How could I not notice? His sweetness and friendliness were suspicious, but I ignored it because I was free with everyone,” I continued, my hand pulled my hair so hard that my scalp became sore, but it wasn’t enough.

I wanted more pain.

I wish I were alone, I could have burnt myself with silver.

“Don’t be hard on yourself, Aurora. You will hurt your baby if you continue punishing yourself,” Alex cautioned.

A painful hysterical laughter burst from my throat before tears slipped from my eyes.

“Baby? There is no baby. My mistake cost his life.” My hands were clasped around my flat stomach, caressing him like I always did when I was pregnant.

“I’m sorry about that. Everything will be okay. I suggest we have to find the solution to the problem, not wailing helplessly,” she suggested, making me stop crying for a minute.

“What do you mean?” I asked, wiping my tears with the back of my palms as I concentrated on her.

“Ray didn’t do this alone, he is working with someone. We have to find who instructed him to be friends with you, then we take them down together,” she explained with seriousness.

“We?” I asked in disbelief. “Are you willing to work with me on this?”

“Yes,” she nodded in agreement. “I will help you expose the culprit.”

I threw my arms around her, hugging her tight before whispering into her ears. “Thank you so much. I initially thought of this but I backed out because I was alone.”

“Not anymore. We are in this together.” Her assuring words calmed me and lit up my dull mood.

“I can’t thank you enough, Alex,” I began, but she placed her finger on my lips.

“Shh, it’s nothing.”

“But what about your life? This mission is risky, it could cost your life,” I tried to talk her out of it. I didn’t want to lose another person that cared about me because of my silly mistake.

“I am a servant. I have no life,” she said with determination as a mean expression covered her face.

It was like I was seeing another side of Alex.

“Ray and his accomplice will pay with the last drop of their blood!”
