Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

My mind wandered to my first meeting with him.

I couldn’t deny that it sparked a couple of emotions within me that made me tempted to think he wasn’t as bad as he was rumoured to be.

But the Alpha King was unpredictable.

Who knew he would let me go easily despite knocking over him with a set of dishes?

His instant reaction would have been to get rid of me without thinking twice, but he ordered someone to clean up the mess.

That was so unlike him.

I wouldn’t even forget his assistance in a hurry. He acted like a gentleman to ruin Nathalia’s plan of humiliating me.

I will be forever grateful to him.

A tingling sensation ran down me when his eyes flashed in my memory.

Despite how cold and brutal they appeared, I could swear that they softened the moment they landed on mine.

The butterflies in my belly multiplied as his intense stare wouldn’t leave me.

A part of me found it attractive while a part of me found it uncomfortable.

But despite how his eyes affected me, I didn’t want him to look away from me even for a second.

Maybe the rumours about him weren’t all true.

I was certain that beneath the ruthlessness, a gentleman was sitting there somewhere.

It only took one right person to unlock his soft spot.

But could that be me?

Who knows if he would find my services impressive and grant me the freedom to live my life?

Maybe this was for the best.

But on the other hand, I had to tread carefully. I didn’t want any part of me chopped off because of an avoidable mistake.

A sick feeling washed over me as my head throbbed badly, still, I couldn’t stop drowning in my thoughts, and neither could I provide answers to my questions.

The strange question would stop ringing in my head, erasing sleep from my eyes.

Why does he want me to be his property?

What did he see in me?

Of all he could have asked for in exchange for safety, why did he choose me?

What does he want with a maid, since I was a maid the last time we met?

Was it connected to our last meeting?

Or was I special?

A weak chuckle left my lips at my last words.

What could the Alpha King find special in me that he couldn’t find in another girl?

Or was there more to his request?

Goddess, I need answers!

My breath hitched and my heart skipped a beat as a thought flashed in my mind.

Could it be because he wanted to punish me for bumping into him?

I thought he had forgiven me.

My body was covered in numbness as my head began to pound heavily. Soon, my temperature slightly increased, making my body warm.

Thoughts of my punishment only increased the sick feeling that crept into me.

To get rid of my sudden nervousness I let myself get lost in the memories of my send-off party.

For the first time, I felt important.

I felt like a prominent part of my pack’s history.

No matter what becomes of me, I will always be remembered as a brave woman.

But I hope I don’t regret this decision I made. I hope it favours me in the end.

Silence settled in the car as the driver sped past the lonely woods.

His hard face betrayed no emotions. Not a sound was heard from him as he stared focused at the road.

If he had not spoken earlier, I would have assumed that he was mute.

Confused and tired, I wanted to confide in him as several questions about my stay in the castle were already eating me up and I needed someone I could talk to.

I needed someone to assure me that I was going to get past this ugly phase.

Since he lived all his life in the castle, he was the best option for the little chit-chat, but he ignored me like a piece of furniture instead.

He didn’t even care how I fared.

Loneliness became my companion, making me pick and bite my fingernails.

After an hour of silence and severe boredom, I resorted to getting myself busy to avoid drowning in thoughts by counting the number of trees we drove past on the road.

I kept counting until I lost count and retired to sleep, curling myself into a ball on the large leather chair.

“Wake up!”

The familiar man’s voice sounded in my ears before his hand smacked me on my shoulder.

I woke up with a look of disapproval written all over my face as I stared at him meanly.

He made his way out of the garage until we met a girl who stood by a huge door.

She took her eyes off him before bowing in respect.

He was about to leave when he turned to spare me a wicked look.

“You better get used to it. This is your new home now. Escaping is not an option as the castle is heavily guarded by warriors.” My eyes fell bitterly as he crumbled my plans.

“Your princess life is over. It’s time to face reality. You are a mere property to satisfy the king. And when your services are no longer required, you will be terminated with immediate effect. My last advice is to please the King and let the most of your short life count,” he warned before disappearing out of the room, leaving me with the hardened-faced girl.

Don’t they ever smile here?

A cold breeze ran down my spine at his words.

I would be terminated? As in killed when he doesn’t need me anymore?

How crazy!

And it was crazier saying my life would be short-lived.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Rather than killing me, why doesn’t he send me to my parents instead?

A new wave of fear flooded me as my hands circled my body as if protecting me.

Worse of all, running away wasn’t an option either.

A part of me wanted to believe it because of how heavily guarded this castle was, but I knew he just said those words to brush off any plan of escaping.

How smart.

But I wasn’t buying it. I didn’t care if he caught me the first time.

“Hey, Miss. Follow me!” The girl’s sharp voice snapped me out of my thoughts, making me shiver in fear.

I hope she was a bit chatty.

I cleared my dry throat before flashing a weak smile. “Where are we going?”

“To the Alpha King’s chamber. You are to begin your first assignment as his property at this moment!”
