Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

I froze in shock as my mother’s words played in my head for the third time.

My brows twisted in confusion and worry settled in the pit of my stomach as I threw her a questionable look.

The more I thought about it, the less I understood what she meant.

Did she just say she would confess?

What was that supposed to mean?

When I thought my father was just exaggerating about my fur colour, her words confirmed it.

Perhaps, I was taking her words too far. She didn’t mean it that way.

The atmosphere was uncomfortable as tension surrounded us. I could hear my father’s heart pounding hard against his ribs as he was cloaked in anger.

My mother on the other hand looked like she had seen a ghost. Her body wouldn’t stop trembling.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Eve stood rooted to a spot with confusion clouding her head while the Luna and Nathalia watched my father with a surprised look.

From the look on everyone’s faces, I could tell that this was not a child’s play.

There was something more to my mother’s strange behaviour. Her body language was enough to make me smell a rat.

Despite thinking of what could trap her in this weird situation, I couldn’t place my head around it.

“You better start talking!” My father growled so loudly that my ears began to hurt.

Sensing his rage, I rushed to my mother, ready to protect her in case he tried to strike her.

No matter how badly she treated me, I would always love her. She was my mother.

I didn’t mind that she shifted away from me, snatching her hands from mine.

I wouldn’t leave her side.

“Mum, is everything alright?” I asked in fear, placing my hand on her shoulder to calm her, but she shrugged it off, allowing my hand to fall off.

I was used to that behaviour. It was nothing.

Silence stretched as she ignored me. Her gaze was fixed on my father.

This wasn’t my mother. My mother was no scared puppy. She was a brave and outspoken woman.

But what could put her in this situation?

Something wasn’t right.

“I need words, bitch!” he fired, charging towards her like a predator stalking its prey. Anger oozed out of him like a thick cloud of smoke.

Fear grew in me as I saw him walking towards us.

I had never seen my father this mad.

No matter what my mother did, he shouldn’t call her names.

“You don’t get to call her a bitch, dad. It’s disrespectful!” I blurted, fixing my gaze on his without blinking.

No one had the right to disrespect my mother in my presence or they’ll have me to contend with.

“Stay out of this. It’s none of your business,” he replied before resting his furious eyes on my mother.

“I’m sorry, Alpha,” my mother started. She swallowed hard before clearing her throat.

She was sorry? Why?

“It wasn’t intentional,” she paused, her face looking like she was about to burst into tears.

“The reason for Aurora’s fur and the tattoo is because she is not my daughter,” my mother spilled, earning gasps from everyone.

But that was not all.

“She belongs to you and Ingrid.”

“It’s Luna to you!” my father corrected, clenching her jaws hard before releasing it.

“Aurora is not my child. Nathalia is mine.”

“That’s not true! The Alpha and Luna are my parents.” Nathalia chimed in, rushing to hold the Luna who stretched her hand around her as if protecting her.

“You fucking slut, I need explanations,” my father’s confused voice rang.

My mother’s harsh words hit me like a bulldozer, weakening me that I didn’t have the strength to fight my father against calling her foul names.

“Don’t fucking yell at me, Stefan!” My mother fired back, regaining her bravery. I could feel her anger building up slowly.

“Don’t you dare call me by my name!”

“Or what? You’ll kill me?” She scoffed, fixing her gaze on his furious ones. “Just like you kill those that stand up to you?”

With the way her eyes burned in anger, I could tell she was ready to start a fight.

“We were fine before she came into the picture!” She lashes out, walking towards the Luna. Her sudden outburst threw me off guard.

“I was supposed to be Luna, not her,” she spat with hatred.

“You were just a mistress-”

“Just a mistress?” she asked, cocking her head to meet my father. “I was the first woman you knew. I stood by you and what did you pay me back with? By getting married to someone else despite knowing how deeply I loved you,” my mother’s voice shook for some seconds before she cleared her throat and blinked her eyes severally to stop tears.

“Who else would I get married to? She is my mate,” he tried to explain, gritting his teeth.

“And I am more of a mate than she will ever be!”

The Luna gasped in shock, her eyes popped out at my mother’s confession.

“To think that I had nothing against you despite being my husband’s mistress. I never maltreated you or your child,” she cried.

My heart aches as I look at the witch I called my mother.

To even think that she wasn’t even remorseful after vomiting those words.

Why would she hate the Luna when it wasn’t her fault?

Luna Ingrid was an easygoing woman loved by everyone.

“Shut the fuck up, bitch! If you didn’t hear me correctly, I’ll repeat myself. Aurora is not my daughter,” she said firmly, breaking my heart into a thousand pieces.

“What are you saying, mum?” I raised my head to meet her, hoping she was saying a bad joke.

I shut my eyes, holding back the tears that threatened to spill.

This can’t be real.

“Don’t you fucking call me mother! I am not your mother!” Her words hurt more than the lashes I endured in Nathalia’s hands.

“I don’t understand.” I found myself asking no one in particular as I stared at space with a dazed look.

“Stefan was supposed to warm my bed one night, but for some stupid reason, he went into Ingrid’s chambers. I was so desperate because I had already taken a sex enhancement pill, waiting for his arrival, but he never showed up,” she let out a loud hiss, eyeing my father afterwards.

“Driven by frustration, I had to have sex with my lover, unfortunately, I took in. Ingrid took in too and we gave birth on the same day. To teach Ingrid a lesson for taking my place, I swapped our babies. The faded scar behind her ear was given by me, she also has a long scar on her thighs. Her fur is black just like mine. What more proof do I need to convince you that Nathalia is my daughter?”

“Don’t believe that crazy bitch, dad!” Nathalia wrapped her arms tighter around the Luna’s shoulder, but she unwrapped it, moving away from her.

“You mean Nathalia isn’t my daughter?” My father’s voice trembled as he gulped the bitter truth down his throat.

This evening was filled with drama. It was too much for me to bear.

“Nathalia is my daughter and Aurora is your daughter. She has the Alpha blood running in her veins. It was a shame her Alpha seed awakened today, ruining my plans,” she lamented, flashing her reddened eyes at me before muttering inaudible curses.

Disbelief washed over me as I stared at Valerie in shock. Her confessions crashed upon me, hitting me hard and leaving me dumbfounded.

Tears blurred my vision as I stared at Valerie with so much hatred in my heart.

How could she do this to me?

I covered my widened mouth as realization ran through my head.

That explained it!

That explained why she hates me. Despite trying to please her, she treated me like I was garbage.

All my life, I asked myself why she acted indifferent towards me.

This explained it.

She wasn’t my mother. She didn’t love me. I was a victim of her revenge.

A sharp pain in my chest caused me to groan as memories of how she was maltreated filled my head.

All these years I lived as a shadow while someone else stole my identity.

I was supposed to be powerful, but I was a slave. The lowest of the low.

All these years I endured accusations, suffering, bullying, and pain while Nathalia stole my life!

She will pay dearly!
