Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Chapter 92

Aurora

I didn’t know what shocked me more, the fact that I was getting strangled by an enormous python or the two figures standing before me.

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets as I stared at the familiar figures that caused me a heart-wrenching pain.

I shut my eyes, allowing the pain to flood within me. It was evergreen in my memory.

My breath turns harsh as anger quickened my blood as I was unable to withhold myself.

I was livid.

I felt like breaking free from the python’s grip before charging at them angrily.

The image of Damon’s unforgiving eyes the night he chased me out of the castle flashed in my head, shattering my heart.

I will never forget the nights I spent alone and afraid in the woods, almost freezing to death.

“Damon?!” I yelled, gritting my teeth as molten anger washed over me.

Were these figures real?

Was I daydreaming?

Did I miss Damon so much that I started hallucinating?

Were my eyes deceiving me?

I blinked severally, trying to comprehend the people standing before me.

My head started to spin as the python’s grip tightened around my chest, restricting my airflow.

I drew in deep harsh breaths occasionally to keep myself conscious but my eyes started to get blurry.

“Stay calm Aurora, help is on the way,”

“Who are you?” I asked, confused as they looked alike.

One couldn’t tell the difference between Damon and the brothers.

Or are they triplets?

No. It can’t possibly happen since Devin and Dax never mentioned anything about having a sibling and they weren’t royalty.

But on second thought, Damon talked about having two brothers, but he didn’t go into details. According to him, they were dead.

The more I tried to link them together, the more my head got blank and a dull ache began to spread in my head.

“Dax. You can tell me apart by the colour of my hair,” he suggested, trying to distract the snake while Devin rushed into his room to get snake repellant.

“Silly! You both have chestnut brown hair!” I groaned in frustration, trying to free myself from the python’s grip.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t do that,” he warned.

“Get off me!” I screamed at the snake’s face in frustration.

“Or that,” he added, before letting out a sigh. “It will be over, just calm down. Take a deep breath. The more you fight it off, the more it tightens its grip around you. You don’t want to die before Devin arrives,” he advised, making me hold back.

“Trust me, fighting is useless.”

Where the fuck was Devin?!

I tried to remain calm, but it was like my body lost strength every passing second. My bones became weak as the grip constricted.

I felt like I was about to give up.

Dax kept trying hard to distract the snake, but the snake wouldn’t budge.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Its attention was fixed on me.

“Goddess,” I shrieked in fear. Tears gathered around my eyes as I dodged each time the snake thrust its head at me with the tongue sticking out.

Its sharp pointed teeth couldn’t wait to have a bit of my flesh.

Tears began streaming through my eyes as the thought of death clouded my head.

Was this really the end?

“Bastard!” An angry voice sounded, making me snap my head to have a glimpse of the person.

“Eyes on me, Aurora. Dax, find a way to distract it,” he issued the command authoritatively, swinging to action.

Fortunately, Devin was able to manoeuvre his hands to spray a mouthwash, distracting it.

I heaved a sigh of relief, taking deep breaths when the snake recoiled away from me.

My eyes shut in pain as I tried to regulate my breathing. The grip was tight against my ribs.

Before I could process what was going on, Devin outsmarted the python, and stabbed it in the eyes multiple times, until its grip loosened against me. Dax uncoiled the bleeding snake from my body before, holding down its mouth as he threw it deep inside the woods.

I dropped to the flood in exhaustion, clutching my hands to my chest.

Pain shot up in my chest as I took a deep breath.

“Slowly, Aurora.”

“That was close,” I said as I tried to catch my breath.

“Thank goddess you weren’t harmed,” Dax said, walking to meet me. He knelt before me, examining my body as he tried to massage my arm.

“Does it hurt?” he asked, sitting me up so that my back could rest on the chair.

“Easy,” I screamed, wincing in pain at his massage

“Sorry,” he kissed my forehead and cupped my cheeks.

The silence grew as our heads rested against each other. Our lips were about to get entwined when the swinging and slamming of the door caught our attention.

“Already? Without me?” Devin asked, smirking darkly before walking up to us. “Are you alright? Were you bitten? Does your chest hurt?” he bombarded me with questions, touching my body to find a sore spot.

“I’m fine, I just need rest,” I replied, tucking a hair strand before lifting my eyes to his warm ones.

“Are you sure?” He asked, pinning his hazel eyes on my silver ones. They glowed with care and love.

“Perfectly,” I nodded my head, trying to stand on my feet.

“Did you leave the front door open?”

His question made me freeze on the spot as I tried to find excuses to make.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t remember to lock it when I got back from the garden to pluck fresh flowers this morning.”

“Don’t forget next time. There are animals in the woods. You might not be lucky next time.”

“Yes. It won’t happen again,” I reassured, shaking my head negatively before pinning my gaze on him.

I went silent again, studying their faces one after the other.

“Do you know Damon? Both of you look alike,” I started, igniting a conversation.

“We are not Damon and stop calling us Damon.”

“Have you heard of the name in the past? Do you think he is family?”

Devin was lost in thoughts as he stared at me for a minute.

“I don’t know Damon. His name doesn’t ring a bell,” he assured, proceeding to walk away before he halted in his tracks.

“Who is Damon?”

I wore a long face as painful memories stormed my head.

“You know I don’t like talking about him. He caused me pain,” my face contorted in a frown and tears threatened to fall from my eyes.

“As much as we don’t want to remind you of your past, we deserve to know.”

I heaved a sigh, allowing sadness to settle on my face.

“Devij impregnated me,” I said, stopping briefly as I looked away to avoid their gaze.

“That’s it?” Devin and Dax asked. Their eyes longed for more information.

“That’s it,” I repeated, clenching my jaws.

It was only a matter of time before I broke down in tears.

“That’s why you ended things with him and fled?” Dax asked, trying to patch the pieces of my information together to make sense.

“I didn’t flee, he sent me out of the castle.”

I shut my eyes, taking a deep breath. It was like I could see Damon’s hostile eyes when he sent me out.

I had never seen Damon red with rage. His eyes spat fire and he looked like he was about to lash out at me.

“Why? He didn’t love you?”

“I don’t know if he did, but things were going on between us pretty well.”

“I don’t understand. If things worked out, why did he send you away?”

“I was framed,” I screamed. My voice shook as I was about to break down in tears. “He is hot-tempered. He accused me of cheating on him and lying about my child’s paternity.”

“Did you bother explaining things?”

“I didn’t. There was no point. He won’t listen. The moment he confirmed it, he sent me out that night,”

“That must be devastating for you.” Devin’s sorry eyes met mine as he patted my shoulder.

“You are safe here with us. We won’t chase you out,” they assured.

“Are you twins?” I asked.

“Yes,” they chorused.

“You have a striking resemblance with Damon. I’m certain that you are his brother and you are triplets. I wish I could take you to him, but that place will only bring me more pain,” I looked away as a stab of pain hit me.

I was lost between two thoughts.

Take them to meet Damon or stay with them and enjoy their company forever.

Help me, moon goddess!
