Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

As the car sped past the Diamond Heart pack’s border, I cried until there were no tears left in my eyes.

The farther we drifted from my father’s pack, the more I felt strangely disconnected from it. Unconsciously embracing a new reality.

A cruel one.

I kept my blurry eyes fixed at the back of the car, looking through the tinted glass and hoping I would see my parents’ figure in the thick cloud of dust.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I wish some miracle could happen and they would sneak me out without the hefty man’s knowledge.

But life wasn’t a fairytale.

Dust gathered behind as the car zoomed off across the dusty road before it navigated its path on a tarred road. Behind the car, I was followed by another black SUV.

I couldn’t help but wonder who was in there.

Maybe some bodyguards?

Resigned to fate, I curled up into a ball, hugging my knees against my chest with a pitiful look on my face as I stared at the beautiful black leather chair that I sat on.

I tried to keep my mind off several thoughts about my new life, but they haunted me.

What was it like to become the Alpha King’s property?

The more I racked my head for answers, the more I became blank.

Despite being treated like a servant for years, I was never claimed as a property.

But I could tell it wasn’t a good thing with the horror in my parents’ eyes when the news was broken to them.

How bad was it?

Being his property means I was his for life and he could do whatever he wanted with me.

I was just a property, my feelings were considered, my opinions were trash and I aimed to please him until my last breath.

Panic seized through me as I realized that I was living for the Alpha King.

All my goals and future achievements in life were now in the past.

And my life was in King Damon’s hands.

I was only alive because he permitted it and if he wished, he could order my termination.

The more I thought of the last sentence, the more an alarm rang in my head.

Driven by unknown forces, I rested my gaze on the man whose eyes were fixed on the road.

He didn’t notice me, right?

He was wearing a dark sunshade so I could tell if he was watching me or not.

But I would take my chances.

Who knows if this was the only push I needed to change my horrible fate?

Slowly, my hand crept to the car door, leaning on it briefly before proceeding to open it.

“That was a foolish move.” His harsh voice boomed at once, making me jump in fright as I was about to push the door open.

My hand froze on the spot and my heartbeat accelerated.

It was like my heart would burst out of my chest at the rate of its speed.

Confusion hit me hard as I withdrew my hands, lowering my gaze to meet the floor. I didn’t know if I should apologize or sit still like it never happened.

I waved off the idea of lying that popped into my head.

There was no point as he already caught me.

Sad and scared, I sniffed as tears struggled to drop from my eyes.

Turned out I had exhausted my tears.

The air in the car was so tense, it made my nose block.

I sniffed, trying to relieve my nose but an angry growl sent fear flying into me.

My trembling hands dropped on the chair as I looked away silently.

Soon, tiredness hit me like a bulldozer. I yawned, stretching myself before curling up again.

Numbness and weakness engulfed my body as I got lost in my head.

“Once you are in, there is no backing out!”

I thought I heard him say that.

Afraid to lock gaze with him, I continued staring into space as I was lost in my thoughts.

He was right, I was trapped with the Alpha King forever. A profound emptiness opened up within me, threatening to swallow me whole.

But I didn’t fight back. There was nothing to fight for.

My life was already taken from me.

The whole event made my heart feel like it was being squeezed by a cold, metal fist.

I couldn’t help but think about my parents.

How were they coping without me?

Especially my mother. I bet she would have been acting crazy all day.

The separation caused the emptiness to widen, causing a vacant space in my heart.

I didn’t know leaving my parents would cause me a great deal of pain.

It was a pity I would never get to see them again…except with the Alpha King’s permission which I doubt will ever happen since he purchased me in exchange for the pack’s safety.

King Damon was hard to please and he had a reputation that frightened all living things. Getting his permission was like getting an arthritis patient to run a few meters.

It was almost impossible.

My heart pounded against my ribs as I thought of ways to make him take me to my parents.

I wouldn’t mind if it was just for 30 minutes… an hour…or even 5 minutes. All that mattered was that we were together.

I longed to see them, to feel them, to hold them close while I sniff their delicious scents.

But I could only wish.

Memories were the only thing that reminded me of them.

I would cherish the moments we spent forever and it would be evergreen in my heart.

Disbelief crashed into me as a dreadful feeling crept into my gut.

Everything happened fast like a dream.

I couldn’t believe how my life transformed negatively in a matter of hours.

If someone had told me I would give myself up for my pack, I would have laughed it off.

After my parents and I reunited, I vowed that nothing would separate me from them. But I was wrong.

The frightening look on my mother’s face while I was being dragged away remained fresh in my memory.

Why did she look like I was about to be given away to death?

How terrible was the Alpha King?
