Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Damon

“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-”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“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 been dead.”

I remained mute, avoiding Jasper’s gaze.

“Are you in love with Aurora?” Jasper suddenly asked, making me go wild in shock.

“What the fuck, Jasper! Why would you even say that?” I hissed, feigning anger.

“Don’t even lie because I saw you,” he responded calmly. His eyes didn’t leave my face as if he was studying me.

“The way you looked at her.”

“I looked at her like every other person should look at an injured person,” I replied, hardening my voice before rolling my eyes.

“Your eyes glowed with care and they softened. You looked at her the way you looked at Ivy.”

I stiffened at his words. Anger seeped through my veins as my jaws clenched.

“Don’t mention Ivy,” I warned, flashing my teeth at him.

“And if I do? You will strangle me the way you did to Rosa?” He dared, looking me in the eye.

“Now is not the time nor the place,” I said, taking deep breaths to control my temper.

“I think you should stop hiding your feelings. Everyone knows you love Aurora.”

My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at Jasper in confusion. “Everyone? Who is everyone” I said mockingly in his voice.

“It’s so obvious. You can’t punish her, you can’t hurt her, you can’t even force her to do things against her will. The list goes on, you get mad whenever someone hurts her and you are ready to tear them apart. What else is that called if not live?”

“Shut up, Jasper. What do you even know about love.” I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

“I have a mate, she is enough to teach me what love is.”

“Shut up, Jasper. You know nothing about love.” I shunned him.

“Of course,” he nodded in agreement before pinning his curious eyes on my irritated ones. “Why do you take your hands off Aurora immediately after you touch her? Are you feeling sparkles?”

“Cancel that thought from your mind. I took my hands off her because she is a slave and I can’t be caught dead with a slave.”

Deep down I know I lied, but I hardened my face in order not to give myself away.

“That was why you kept asking her how she was several times and her presence makes you speechless?” I watched in annoyance as Jasper’s eyes lit up in surprise.

“That explains why you’ve been ignoring her since her arrival. You know her presence has an effect on you,” Jasper said as he beaned in excitement.

“I need you to shut the fuck up!” I yelled at him, before turning my face sharply.

I didn’t want him to catch my red-stained cheeks.

Despite keeping a straight face, my cheeks burned in embarrassment.

He was right.

Her presence affected me.

“What are you hiding from me?” Jasper asked as he tried to peek at my face but I was quick to mask my expression.

“Nothing,” I affirmed, clearing my throat to maintain seriousness.

If not for the relationship between us, I would have cut his tongue off long ago.

I wish we could get to the ward quickly to avoid Jasper’s unending questions.

“The day I caught you guys making love in the garden, I knew she was more than a slave to you.” Jasper resumed, causing me to groan in frustration.

“Can you stop it?!”

“I’m not done. Before you sent her out, I caught you several times sneaking into her room. Sometimes, you invite her over to yours, but what baffles me most is when you allow her to sleep on your bed. You swore never to allow anyone to sleep on your matrimonial bed.”

I was busted.

“That doesn’t mean I love her,” I tried to convince him but he wouldn’t hear it.

“I never loved Aurora and I don’t love her.”

It was strange how I felt a part of my heart pricking me at my words.

It was like my conscience stabbed me several times.

I knew what I said wasn’t true, but I wanted to be off Jasper’s hook.

“That’s a lie,” he let out a chuckle, shooting me an unconvinced look.

My anger and frustration soon heightened.

“Well, I feel Rosa is lying. It was written all over her. And in my opinion, you and Aurora could put the past behind you and make another baby-”

“And get cheated on again? And get deceived? No!” I flared in anger, pacing about the hallway.

It took me a great deal of strength to block the images of Aurora and her stupid lover.

Good thing I fed him with his dick.

“I don’t think Aurora cheated on you. It was obvious that she loves you, but I think she was framed.”

“I think you are out of your mind,” I spat in anger, hissing loudly.

“You could start by digging deep to know the truth. Aurora would never do anything to jeopardize your relationship with her.”

“There is nothing to investigate. Aurora cheated on me and tried to deceive me to father that bastard in her belly.”

“I feel something is not right,” Jasper noted before a deep frown settled on his face.

I could tell that there were so many things going on in his mind.

“I don’t care what you feel,” I responded casually as we took a route that led us to the ward.

“I don’t care how much you try to harden your face but I can see through you that you care about her.”

“I don’t care about her,” I half-yelled gritting my canines in frustration. “For your information, I sent Aurora out of this castle at night in the cold. If I cared about her as you assume, I wouldn’t have done anything that would bring harm to her.”

“If you don’t care about her then I dare you to send her away again!”
