Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

I didn’t know what frightened me more between breaking the Alpha’s favourite set of dishes and breaking the dishes on the Alpha King’s body.

Both punishments meant hell, but I would prefer Nathalia’s punishment to that of the Alpha King.

My mind went blank and my heart flew to my chest as the dishes crashed loudly on the floor, shattering immediately.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I was a dead meat.

I quickly bent over, trying to pack the broken items and ignoring the cuts that picked my fingers.

But a deadly aura hit my nose, awakening my senses.

Panick seized me at the realization of what I had done. I couldn’t think of anything else but to run for my life. I didn’t want him to kill me in the most unimaginable manner.

Rumours had it that he could gorge out your eyes if you look at him the wrong way. He could cut your tongue if you speak without permission, worse of all, he could cut your ears if you listen to what you are not supposed to.

He was a savage wild beast, a ruthless Alpha King that ruled over werewolves for years. His name left a sensation in the body. Not the one that leaves butterflies in the belly, but a terrifying sensation.

His castle was in the hills, far away from the boundaries of other packs.

He had been a terror to both men and wolves for decades. He wasn’t called the Demon Alpha King for nothing. He was the most cruel and merciless King. No one messes with him or he’ll tear them limb from limb and send them to hell afterwards.

He had been called different names because of his ruthlessness, but he was the worst thing that could happen to you. To his enemies, he was their nemesis, their worst nightmare.

His name’s were so much that I didn’t even know his real name.

Even Dad knew. His brief lecture about staying out of his lane makes sense now.

But why would dad even invite someone who could wipe us all over?!

Though I hadn’t met him and I didn’t know what he looked like, but the chief maid had taken time to warn me about his arrival beforehand. She instructed that I steer clear of him at all cost. She told me that if he decides to kill anyone even my father, the Alpha wouldn’t object because he doesn’t want to be on the wrong side of the Alpha King.

But I had messed up big time and I was certain he would kill me after the meeting.

The news of my death would please Nathalia and my mother.

My fingers slide down, brushing the spot that touched the Alpha King and I could feel my cheeks heat up in excitement.

I could still remember how a strange electrifying feeling ran down my spine, causing a vibration within me. I didn’t know why it happened.

My brows knotted in confusion as I stared at the spot. I hadn’t felt that way before.

Deep down, I knew he felt the same, that was the reason he glared at me for some seconds.

His deadly aura shifted to a calmer, strangely soothing me. His delicious scent of honey and petrichor invaded my nose, calming my troubled mind…and his eyes, there was something about his eyes. They were penetrating as if digging deep into my soul. But I could swear that they softened when they rested on me.

For a minute, I wasn’t scared of him.

It was strange how he was rumoured to be fire-breathing monster but all I see is a charming Greek god in human form.

Focus!

My subconscious yelled at me.

What was wrong with me?!

I was in big trouble, yet I drooled shamelessly over a cruel monster and was even biting my lip?!

Even if he doesn’t kill me, Nathalia will because I broke father’s favourite set of dish.

Fuck me!

I jumped in fright the moment the door opened, but when a familiar figure strode in, I heaved a sigh of relief.

It was Eve, the Chief maid. Despite Nathalia’s harshness, she was so good to me.

She was my friend.

“What have you been doing here? It’s been over 15 minutes!” She half-yelled.

“15 minutes?!” I repeated, my jaws dropping in shock.

I had been drooling over the Alpha King for 15 minutes?!

Goddess!

“Anyway, Ma’am Nathalia told me to give you this,” She said, stretching a tray that contained a glass jug filled with orange juice.

Not another glass again!

I hope I don’t spill this.

“Please, Rory, be careful this time. I know the first one wasn’t your fault. But you have to concentrate. It’s easy. Just go on there, do your business and leave,” She said sharply, caressing my cheek before patting my shoulder, urging me to go, “May the goddess be with you this time,” She prayed, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead and opening the door for me.

“I know you didn’t steal Nathalia’s jewelry,”I halted, turning carefully to meet her warm smile, “Even if nobody believe you, I believe you,” She added. Tears welled up in my eyes at her words.

It felt good to know that someone believed me.

“Thank you for believing me,” I whispered, giving her a faint smile before heading for the dining hall.

“Concentrate, Aurora, just do your business and leave,” I repeated as I walked out of the door, into the dinning room.

Do your business and leave.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

When I got to the door of the hall, my beads of sweat formed on my forehead and anxiety cloaked me like a garment.

How was I supposed to concentrate when his aura was driving me insane?!

It was everywhere in this mansion, dominating over everyone’s aura greatly.

Before the guards opened the door, I shut my eyes, sucking in air before eeleased the air slowly and muttering a short prayer.

“Do your business and leave,” I reminded myself, repeating it in my head severally.

I tightened my fingers on the tray and swallowed hard when I got closer where they sat.

No fuck-ups this time.

My eyes went straight up to the Alpha King before landing on another man that sat beside him. Dad, his Beta and the Luna sat on the other side of the table, facing The Alpha King, the strange man and my mother who wouldn’t stop trying hard to start a conversation.

Nathalia sat opposite an empty chair that was reserved for me.

Thanks to her dirty lies, the chair was vacant.

Their voices and fake laughter stopped the moment I stepped they noticed my presence. But only for two seconds.

My heart flipped twice when the Alpha King’s hazel eyes met my silver ones. I almost jumped.

Concentrate.

This was going to be harder than I thought.

I tore my gaze off him immediately, walking to the table to do my business.

“It’s a honour having you in our midst. Honestly, I am thrilled that you accepted to give us a part of your land. I wasn’t expecting that,” My father grinned, sipping from his glass of red wine afterwards.

“The pleasure is mine,” He replied coldly. From his look, I could tell that my father’s speech was boring him. He couldn’t wait to get the hell out of our pack.

If he knew the amount of sacrifice and hardwork we invested in preparing his arrival, he would eat without leaving crumbs.

My sharp pain tore in my stomach wall and I realized I hadn’t eaten in two days.

My mouth watered at the plethora of dishes that would go to a waste after the Alpha King has gone.

If only I could have a bite of the tasty roasted chicken laps that laid lazily on the table.

I muttered a sharp prayer for my stomach not to growl as werewolves hearing were sharp.

A chilling sensation swept through me when he locked gaze with me again. His look was so penetrating that my legs grew weak.

I almost forgot how to walk.

He shouldn’t have caught me staring. I hope he wouldn’t gorge out my eyes.

I swallowed hard, placing the tray on the table making it within everyone’s reach.

Good. My business is done, time to go.

“Wait, Aurora,” Nathalia’s annoying voice rang, halting me on my tracks.

Slowly, I turned to meet her heavily make-up face. I scoffed within me when I saw her cleavage on display.

Those small boobs were dying of suffocation as they were almost out of the dress.

Was she trying to seduce the Alpha King?

Did I hear a change in her voice?

“Why don’t you fill King Damon’s glass cup with some orange juice?” She squeezed in excitement, “I made them myself, I figured you might like them,” She blushed innocently, biting her red lips seductively.

“Fuck you!” I screamed at her in my mind as I dragged my feet to the table again.

“That was so thoughtful of you honey,” The Luna commended, making me roll my eyes in disgust.

I had nothing against the Luna, she was nice to me to some extent and I appreciated that. But Nathalia’s act made me almost burst into a series of laughter.

I never knew she could do something with those lazy hands. The maids practically do everything for her, including washing her undies.

“Oh, mother. I thought I could assist with the preparations since I was bored. Since I am single, I have plenty of time,” She chuckled, emphasizing on the ‘single’ and throwing seductive looks at the Alpha King to catch his attention.

I could tell she has a huge crush on the King.

It was a shame he didn’t even notice her existence.

I picked up the jug on the table, ignoring the look on my father’s face. He didn’t question in order not to make a scene. If only he was around when Nathalia accused me of stealing, I wouldn’t be serving drinks like a maid.

My hands trembled as I held the jug, clenching it tight with all my might.

His aura wasn’t helping as it clouded my head.

I almost staggered as his burning gaze burned on my hand, neck and face.

Concentrate! I snapped at myself, but I couldn’t.

He was affecting me.

“Fuck!” I muttered silently as the filter missed the cup and the orange juice began to pour on the Alpha King’s shiny leather shoes.

Kill me, Moon goddess!

Before I could embarrass myself further, destroy his fancy shoes, his large hands enveloped mine, sending sparks that made me almost collapse.

“Stop,” He ordered authoritatively, taking the glass jug from me and pouring its content into his glass cup by himself, “Thank you. But I don’t like orange juice,”

How did he manage to be authoritative, yet so sexy?

I almost burst into laughter at the disappointed look on Nathalia’s face. Jealous flashed in her eyes.

Why was he helping me?

Without Nathalia’s approval, I turned to leave. My job was done.

But the clearing of Nathalia’s throat made me halt on my tracks once more. I was the way she secretly communicated with me, telling me my business wasn’t done.

What does she want again?!

I already did what she wanted.

“Is it only me or is it hot I here,” She started. Her hands fanning her breast and she opened it wider, peeking at the King who wouldn’t notice her.

“This place is so boring,” She lamented , her hands dropping on her exposed pale chest, “A little bit of entertainment could lighten it up,” She smiled.

Goddess please. I hope the entertainment doesn’t involve me.

“Maybe Aurora could help us,” She added, causing my heart to race.

“Aurora, please, dance for us. I know his majesty wouldn’t mind. She threw a sweet smile at the king who returned it with a frown.

Nathalia couldn’t do this to me.

“Don’t worry, my king, she is just hiding her talent. She is a great dancer,”

I almost growled in disapproval at her words.

Why was she saying all these when she knew I couldn’t even do the simplest dance steps.

Tense silence settled in the room as I exchanged glared with Nathalia, pleading with her to reverse her command.

Tears started to sting my eyes as her words echoed in my head.

“It would be so fun fun to watch you humiliated,”

Everything made sense now. She turned me into a maid to humiliate me in the presence of everyone.

“Leave, Aurora,” The Alpha King’s voice thundered, making me gasp in shock.

Without sparing any minute, I fled out of the room as fast as my legs could carry before Nathalia devised another plan.

“Of course,” I heard her say in defeat.

I knew Nathalia’s rage was like a volcano about to erupt but she dared not show it before the Alpha King if she loved her life.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I shut the door, luckily, the guards were away.

One question remained on my mind. Why was the Alpha King helping me?

“Thank you for having us, Stefan. We will be on our way,” I heard the second man said and I dashed out of the premises into my room.

I shitfed my curtain a bit, watching the Alpha King and the strange man entered into a black sleek car.

He must be fucking wealthy.

I didn’t know when the door open until I was thrown kff-balance by a heavy kick that had me wincing in pain.

I lifted my eyes to see Nathalia looking like she was about to skin me alive.

“How dare you?!” She roared in hatred, striking me hard across the face before I could process what was going on.
