Chapter 104Damon“What was that?” Jasper asked on our way to the ward. I took a sharp breath to calm my nerves as I figured out what was ahead of me. “Don't even ignore me,” he said, deliberately brushing his shoulder against mine. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breath, irritated by Jasper's persistence. Jasper could be a pain in the ass sometimes. “Tell me.”“Tell you what?” I asked in a harsh tone, hissing before increasing my pace. “Tell me what all your drama was all about. That is unlike you.” I heaved a sigh, looking at him briefly before shaking my head. “Ignore that. I'm fine now.”“Really? You could have killed Rosa—”“But I didn't. Can we stop talking about this?” I asked sharply before muttering inaudible curses under my breath. “I will stop when you tell me what came over you? I've never seen you so furious in many years of working with you. Rosa hurting Aurora brought out the Demon in you. I could swear you almost exploded in rage. If I weren't there, she would have b
Chapter 105AuroraI remained in the corridor after Damon and his Beta left, replaying the scene in my head over and over again. My back was pinned against the cold wall, my eyes tightly shut as I tried to recollect the places he touched me. In a flash of light, the sparks resurfaced. I felt my cheeks burn in a bright shade of red as butterflies started to churn in my tummy. It felt so good. The way his fingertips brushed against my skin made goosebumps sweep through me. I had a tough time fighting hard for self-control. It was hard to breathe around him, especially when he started acting all sweet. Thank goodness Jasper was with us…we could have allowed our feelings to overtake us because it was obvious that we were hanging on by a tiny thread of self-control. I could hear his words echo in my head. It was filled with care and concern. And his eyes? They made me almost get lost in their warmth. I smiled sheepishly when I remembered how he almost strangled Rosa to death b
Chapter 106AuroraMy excitement vanished like a blown-out candle as reality hit me hard. I was alone. There was no one willing to assist me in my mission. I had no friends. Who would even want to associate themselves with a cheat, an infidel, and a liar? The eagerness I felt earlier flushed out of my body, making me moody.Tears gathered around my eyes as doubt started to cloud my mind. I couldn't embark on this mission all alone, it was too risky for me. I didn't even know how many days I had left to stay in the castle. All I knew was my days were numbered as Damon wouldn't stop looking at me like I was filthy. He only accepted me because I reunited him with his brothers. I was certain that immediately after his brothers were nursed back to health, I would leave forever. The scary thought kept me awake all night, but I knew it would soon become a reality though it was a hard pill to swallow. I couldn't expect Devin and Dax to pick me over royalty and his brother. Damon was
Chapter 107AuroraRue’s words caught me by surprise.It baffled me that she didn't explain deeper before burying herself inside my head. Lost in the abyss of confusion, I left the corridor, before walking to my room. I was careful this time as I tried not to bump into the grumpy Mistress of Evil. Her drama was the last thing I wanted. My eyes went to the direction that Damon and Jasper left for and the urge to follow them consumed me. He doesn't want you, Aurora, leave him alone!My subconscious yelled at me, slapping common sense into me. The last thing I wanted was to get caught and thrown into the dungeon. I discarded the thought before walking to my room. Unlike my other luxurious room, this one was shabby. It screamed ‘slave's room.’The room was empty, save for the mattress, a small wooden table, and a wooden chair. Damon instructed me to stay there without a servant helping me until he thought of what he wanted to do to me. But it's been days. Maybe he hadn't found
Chapter 108Damon“She leaves tomorrow then,” Jasper announced with a smirk on his face. I could see him peeking at me from the corner of his eyes but I was quick to mask my expression. “Definitely!” I replied in a firm voice before clearing my throat. Definitely not! Jasper's words threw my mind into a state of trouble and confusion. Why would he ask me to take such a risk when he knew how much she meant to me? How could I send Aurora away?I couldn't even stomach the idea of watching her leave me again. It would break me, just like it did the last time. No one knew how miserable I felt. Thanks to alcohol and tobacco for being my best friend. Her absence caused me to hallucinate and resurrect my demons. Despite my angry expression, a part of me was glad she returned unhurt. No! I couldn't send Aurora away. What if she dies this time? What if she never returns to me? I would never forgive myself for the huge mistake. Her presence was like a soothing balm that relieved
Chapter 109DamonI froze in horror, flashing them a death glare. It felt like the air in the room seized, making it impossible for me to breathe.Chills ran down my spine as Ivy's face kept replaying in my head. I was almost gasping for breath as I was covered in shock.I couldn't believe my ears. Ivy? Why would they ask after Ivy? It didn't take long before memories started flooding my head, reviving the scars that marred my heart. I could feel it again. I could feel my heart breaking all over again. It hurt like hell. I couldn’t breathe, his words flushed out oxygen from my lungs as they almost suffocated me. Tears enveloped my eyes as I felt a sharp pain stinging my chest. It was hell. It felt like someone was rubbing a large amount of salt over an old wound after reopening them. I hurriedly blinked back the tears that stung my eyes and buried my hands inside my pocket to avoid giving myself away. I sucked in the air, controlling my breathing before resting my eyes on
Chapter 110Damon“Is mate okay?” Devin asked, urgency laced in his words. The loud pounding of his heart filled my ears. His curious eyes bored into mine, demanding urgent answers to his question. “I need her to come right now, I need to see her and tell her that I am okay.” “Ivy is fine,” Dax replied, placing his hand on Devin's shoulder in an attempt to calm him. Devin's eyes darted towards Dax. I could tell that he was trying hard to believe Dax and let his mind be at ease. “She is probably too tired after Damon drained her last night. Damon is just a horny bastard.”Both eyes flew in my direction. Dax sneered naughtily before pinning me with a look while Devin's was aloof. “I don't think so.” Devin's eyes narrowed. He cocked his brow as his eyes seemed to pierce deep into my soul.“That's one thing about you, Dev. You are too serious. There is nothing to worry about, take a chill pill.” Dax tried to convince Devin but he would not budge. I could feel a rollercoaster of emo
Chapter 111DamonI accepted reluctantly, scrunching up my face to show my displeasure. I gritted my teeth as my chest rose and fell in anger. “Fine, but today will be the last day you see her!” I finalized, pinning them with a wicked glare.Devin was the first to sit up, followed by Dax. A small smile appeared on Jasper's face as he kept his eyes on me. “Why?” They chorused, raising their brows. “It's too early to reveal things to you, but Aurora isn't who she seems to be. If not for you guys, she was banished from this castle.” I said before narrowing my lips in a thin line. Dax burst into a series of laughter, before stopping abruptly. “Aurora is as gentle as a dove. Whatever happened between both of you is in the past—” “No, it's not!” I interrupted him, tightening my jaws. “Aurora leaves by dawn tomorrow.”A dangerous smirk appeared on Devin's lips. “If Aurora leaves, we leave!” he threatened, using his Alpha tone. He continued. “If you need us to rule packs and conquer mo
