Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Damon

“I have pressing issues to attend to and the last thing I want is to be a part of your foolery!” I growled in anger, storming into my bedroom.

The stress of today’s work was like a burden on my shoulders, it weighed me down, making me tired. It felt like tons of bricks were placed on my shoulders.

I left the office in haste as my eyes were heavy with sleep and a dull ache stung my head.

The last thing I wanted was some guard to inform me of how three people were asking after me and how two of them had a striking resemblance to me.

I thought he was joking at first, but then I saw seriousness in his eyes.

I wanted to believe him, but at the same time, I held myself back.

What if he was sent to mock me about my past?

The only people that resembled me were Devin and Dax and they were long dead.

There was no way he could see them except he was dead.

Perhaps he was drunk.

How lucky he was. No one dared to make me remember my past in a mockery manner and go scot-free.

Despite how I tried to sniff his mouth, there were no traces of alcohol which left me confused.

I am fire, once triggered, I will ruin whatever crosses my part and leave them desolate.

But that evening, all I thought of was quality sleep. I wasn’t in the mood to slit someone’s throat off.

“My King, they look exactly like you.” His words flooded my head again, making my breath quicken.

I squinted to have a clearer view of his face as the hallway was dim.

I like my castle being mysterious.

I frowned when his face came into view.

“Who are you?” I asked boredly. “Why haven’t I seen you here?”

“My King, I was just posted here alongside other guards last week.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

That’s why.

I hissed in annoyance, striding to my room with anger steaming in the pit of my stomach.

His words only resurrected the pain in my heart. It reopened a wound within me, causing me to bleed.

“Get lost!” I ordered, stretching my fingers to the door. “Don’t let this repeat itself. Let this be the last time you say something like this.”

“But…my King…” he stammered, looking at me like he would burst into tears. “I am telling the truth. I will never lie to you. Please, believe me,” he bowed.

“I don’t have time for this.” I dismissed, walking to my room.

The pain started to engulf me, increasing my pace. I wanted to shut myself in my room and brawl my eyes out while thinking of a suitable punishment for him.

How dare he hurt me?!

How dare he make fun of my past and expect me to smile at him like a fool.

“They are at the West side of the gate. They were denied entry into the premises because one of them, a girl, was sighted and ordered to leave,” he explained with his heart in his throat.

The smell of gear filled the air as my hand dropped from the door knob.

He wasn’t bluffing.

“Hold on,” I said, walking into my room and dropping my bag on the chair.

I tried to compose myself before walking out and facing his scared eyes once more.

“Are you serious?” I asked, walking towards him.

He took a few steps backwards until his back brushed the wall.

The sound of his heart thumping loudly and our harsh breath intake was the only thing that filled the air.

That was right. Fear me.

“I dare not joke with you if I love my life.” His voice shook as fear clouded him at our closeness.

Satisfied by his answer, I took a few steps away from him, still pinning him with my curious eyes.

“What are they like?” I asked, swallowing the bile of sadness that stuck to my throat. “What are their names?”

“They are three people, a woman who looked like she was in her early twenties and two men who looked like they were in their late twenties. The men had a striking resemblance with you, but the woman seemed more like their acquaintance. They mentioned their names as Aurora, Devin, and Dax.”

My breath hitched the moment he spilled the names.

I froze in shock for a few seconds as I tried to process his words.

Were my ears deceiving me?

I couldn’t control my breath as they turned erratic. It was like the air was harsh and I almost choked.

“Where are they?” I bellowed desperately.

“They are outside the West side of the gate. They are currently being interrogated by the guards.”

I wanted to dash at the speed of light to see the strange people, but I tried to compose myself.

Calm down, Damon, he is joking.

“If you dare mess with me, I’ll have your head hung in my sitting room alongside other Artworks. It will be displayed as a mere decoration and I will never bring it down,” I threatened, grabbing a fistful of his shirt as I growled at his face.

Satisfaction filled me when I saw how his soul almost left his body.

“What did you call their names again?” I asked to erase every trace of doubt in me.

I wanted to be sure that I wasn’t having one of my episodes of hallucination.

The last thing I wanted was to let another person know that I see things.

“Join me at the West side of the gate this instant!” I mindlinked Jasper.

I took deep breaths, trying to calm my raging nerves but it wasn’t working.

“Aurora, Devin, and Dax. More guards don’t know them since we are new so we held them for interrogation,” he affirmed.

Aurora?

I thought she was dead.

How did she survive in the woods by herself?

I didn’t know what to feel about her return.

And Devin…Dax? This was unbelievable.

Despite how anxiety took over me, I prayed silently to the Moon goddess to make it a reality.

I couldn’t wait to have my brothers and rule with them together.

“Take me to them immediately! But don’t fuck with me!” I ordered, using my Alpha tone as I allowed him to lead the way while I followed behind.

My heart raced as I got closer to the gate.

I couldn’t contain my excitement as I was almost running.

It took a great deal of self-control not to dash to the gate.

I didn’t want to be seen as desperate.

Please, be true. Please, be true.

I prayed silently, glancing at the moon that glowed in the sky.

“Here they are, My King,” he said, opening the door to one of the guard’s offices.

“Bow down to greet the King!” One of the guards inside the room ordered.

As soon as the door flung open, the scent of petrichor, musk, honey, peach, lavender, and vanilla blasted my nostrils, making me stare at them in shock.

“My King,” Jasper called, but I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to reply to him.

All that mattered were the three figures standing before me.

“Holy crap! Are they real?” Jasper screamed, touching Aurora, Devin, and Dax’s body in shock.

“Your majesty, your brother,” Jasper said when he found his voice as excitement washed over him.

“Devin, Dax,” I muttered, rushing and throwing myself on them as I went profusely. I grabbed them, squeezing them to myself as if afraid of losing them again.

“Nothing will separate us again,” I said amid tears.

“I thought you were captured and killed. I thought I would never see you again,” I sobbed harder, tugging them closer to myself to inhale their scent.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. I had to fight so we all won’t get killed.”

Forgive me.

Were they even real?

If this was a dream, I don’t want to wake up.

If this was my imagination, I don’t want to snap out of it.

I didn’t care if they were too stunned to reciprocate my actions. I was feeling a rollercoaster of emotions.

My heart was heavy with joy as the sleep I once felt vanished in the blink of an eye.

Thank you, Moon goddess.

I pulled away from their grip, wiping my tears before a smile crossed my lips.

“My long-lost brothers are back! Throw a ceremony immediately!”
