Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Damon

I took a long satisfying drag on my tobacco, before tossing it into an ashtray.

A buzz of anger ran down my spine as I released the smoke slowly into the air.

I was wasted.

I didn’t know how long I sat, staring at space, lost in my head.

I couldn’t even concentrate on the meeting I summoned with the Alphas and the council members.

We were only twenty minutes into the three-hour meeting when I left the hall, burying myself in my safe haven.

Angry and frustrated, I shut the window blind, allowing darkness to engulf me.

I didn’t know how long I would stay in my office.

Hours or even days?

My phone was switched off, making me unable to be reached.

Alcohol and tobacco became my friends as I wallowed in self-pity. Within the space of hours, I had already consumed more than twenty bottles of rum and whiskey. Several packs of empty tobacco lay on the floor.

I couldn’t bring myself to stop, I kept emptying every content in my mouth.

I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me I was wasted, but I wasn’t drunk. It will take a lot more than this to get me drunk.

Gulping the last bottle of whiskey, I squeezed my eyes shut as the stinging sensation burnt its way from my throat to my chest.

I burped loudly, hissing afterwards as the bottle fell and shattered to the floor.

“Stupid.” My words came out slurry.

My eyes fell on the pieces of the broken bottle scattered on the floor.

Stupid.

Just like me.

If I weren’t stupid, that bitch wouldn’t have played on my intelligence.

Disbelief hit me hard like a bulldozer at the realization.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

How was Rosa able to make me look like a fool?

How could I not notice she had a fake pregnancy?

Was I too carried away with the excitement of finally having an heir? Or was I just stupid?

All my life, no one had made me look like a fool. I was known for my ruthlessness throughout the world. No one dared mess with me.

But what was happening to me?

How couldn’t I detect between a real pregnancy and a fake pregnancy?

Rosa was going to pay for this.

Drowning in the sea of rage, a strange sensation flushed through me.

Thanks to Rosa, my enemies would mock me and strive to take over my kingdom now that they’d learned there was no heir.

I felt an invisible hand clench my heart as pain surged through me.

The murmurs and back talks wouldn’t stop.

My fist clenched into a ball as bits of my reflection appeared on the broken bottle.

Staring back at me was emptiness and worthlessness.

I was the most powerful Alpha King in the world, but was a King without his heir…or his mate?

I felt tears burn my eyes as memories came crashing.

You shouldn’t have left, Ivy.

I felt so empty without her.

At this point, I was cloaked in confusion.

“My King,” Jasper’s voice flooded the room, breaking the prolonged silence. But I kept mute.

I wasn’t in the mood to see anyone, not even him, my Beta.

“Please, open up,” he pleaded, knocking hard on the door.

“I know you are in there. Just open the door. You can’t hide forever.” His voice dropped, making anger surge through me.

I didn’t need his pity.

I didn’t mind hiding in my office forever.

“You leave me no choice,” he said before going silent.

I was about to heave a sigh of relief when I heard loud bangs at the door.

“Fuck!” I muttered irritatedly.

I should have known Jasper never gave up easily.

Another reason I made him my Beta.

With one loud push, the door flew open.

“Get out!” I ordered, using my Alpha tone.

I hated that he invaded my privacy, especially when I wanted to be left alone.

Unbothered, he walked towards me, pulling an empty chair opposite me before sitting.

“Leave this instant!” My eyes flashed in anger.

My chest rose and fell in fury as he dismissed my orders, staring at me dead in the eyes.

Others would have lost both eyes if they tried it with me.

“Are you deaf, Jasper?”

“I’m not,” he replied calmly, burrowing further into the chair.

“Look at you, all wasted,” he started.

“Don’t even-”

“Don’t even know what?” he asked, his eyes shooting daggers at me. “You locked yourself up for two days because Rosa lied about her pregnancy.”

Two fucking days?

My heart squeezed in pain as I felt salt added to my injury.

“Stop…” I warned, dismissing him, but he remained adamant.

“How did you not think of going with her to the antenatal or asking the doctor for a report or even going with her for a sonogram?”

“Don’t judge me,” I gritted my teeth in irritation, before looking away.

“Because you were too excited about your new son?”

Ouch!

I swallowed the bile of regret in my throat as my fingers dug into my skin.

His words were like painful lashes on bloodied skin as it tore, expanding the injuries.

“It’s not that…”

“Then it’s what? I never liked Rosa and I don’t know why you should trust her. Even if she pregnant, I doubt if you are the father of that child,”

“I didn’t want to go with her because I didn’t like going out with her!” I screamed, banging my fist on the desk. The effect sent my ashtray jerking as the ashes from my tobacco spilled on the floor.

“Rosa is my mistress, she is just a tool. She means nothing to me. I can’t be seen with her.” I said in disgust.

Aside from sex, Rosa was useless to me.

I don’t know why I haven’t disposed of her for a long time.

Good thing she was in the dungeon awaiting her punishment after attempting to kill Aurora. How dare she?

“I’m your Beta, I will always be there for you. Instead of wallowing in regret, why don’t you try someone new? Who knows, she might give you the heir you are looking for,” he advised.

My brows creased in confusion as I tried to digest his words.

“What do you mean, Jasper?”

“Rosa failed to give you a son. According to her medical reports, her womb isn’t capable of carrying a child.”

“So…” I said, trying to hide my shock.

Damn Rosa!

“Tell Aurora to become your breeder. Who knows, she might give you an heir.”
