Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Unknown

The loud thumping of Silas’ heavy black boots against the floor broke the silence that enveloped the heart of the dungeon.

All eyes were glued to their feet as Silas made his way straight to Rosa’s cell.

His dreadful aura and his high position in the castle were enough to cause fear to radiate within them

Turning sharply, he motioned to the guards, demanding their absence which they obliged as no one wanted to get on his bad side.

Satisfied by their obedience, he stopped walking when he got to an isolated cell. His hands fumbled in his pockets for some seconds before he brought out the keys and unlocked the cell.

His face turned dark as he gritted his teeth in anger.

Muttering curse words, his eyes were pinned on Rosa who was fast asleep.

A bile of anger arose in Silas’ throat, causing him to shake his head as he stared at Rosa.

Her feet were bound to the chain that was connected to the ground while her hands were bound to the chain that was connected to the ceiling. She was in a standing position with her head slumped sideways and her hair shielded part of her face.

“Fucking dummy!” He spat, growling loudly as he tried his best to contain his fury.

That was alone to jolt Rosa from her slumber.

Consumed by anger, he felt like ripping Rosa apart, limb from limb. But it wasn’t time yet.

How could she be so careless?Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

How could she ruin all they had worked for all these years?

He shouldn’t have trusted her enough to handle such a delicate task.

Above all, only one thing troubled his mind.

Hope she hasn’t revealed his name. That alone would cause a major setback in his life. Aside from being thrown in the dungeon like a slave, he would be stripped of his position as the councilman.

She dared not reveal his name or identity.

No!

He wasn’t going to sit back and watch his life get ruined before his eyes.

If he was going down, she would go down with him. He would make sure of it.

A gasp slipped from her mouth as she stared at Silas like she had seen a ghost.

Fear and shame gripped her, making her pin her eyes to the floor.

Silas’ terrifying presence was enough to send her trembling.

An uncomfortable silence ensued between them as they tried to process their next words.

“Un…Uncle…” she called, clearing her throat.

“Save it!” He silenced her, raising his hand to stop more words from her mouth. His voice reverberated throughout the room, shutting Rosa’s mouth.

“Not a word from you, dummy!” He added.

Rage radiated him like a thick cloud of smoke.

“This shows how incompetent you are. I should have replaced you a long time ago but you kept assuring me that you had everything in control. Little did I know that you don’t even have your stupidity in control!”

Rosa’s eyes shut as his words bit deep into her skin, inflicting pain in her.

But she knew better than to defend herself.

Rosa’s teeth clenched in regret as memories flashed in her head.

Everything was perfect. She had everything under control, including the Alpha.

For the first time, she was a step ahead of everyone and she would strike at the perfect time.

But thanks to the stupid doctor who spilled all her secrets and ruined her efforts.

Now all she had worked for was in the dust.

The pain in Rosa’s heart doubled. It was like someone stabbed her repeatedly.

The thought of all her efforts wasted made her almost suffocate.

Now that she was ruined, she hoped the doctor was happy.

The chances of living were slim.

The only thing certain for her was death. Deep down, she knew Damon was only keeping her until Aurora’s delivery so that she could see his heir before she got terminated.

Her life was over.

But then she hated that Silas kept reminding her of her failed mission.

Everyone makes mistakes. He shouldn’t rub it on her face.

“I thought you were smart, but it turned out that even the dumbest person in the castle is smarter than you are,” He blasted angrily, adding salt to her already open wound. He was ready to go on with his harsh words, but he was afraid that his rage would make him do something stupid.

“You were given a simple task, but you failed woefully. I didn’t train you to become a fool. You are better off dead than alive. In death, you are useless, alive, you are more useless!” He stated, emphasizing every word.

Rosa felt her heart bleed profusely at his harsh words. Those harsh words squeezed her heart, causing it to ache badly.

Despite struggling to contain herself, she was already filled to the brim.

That was the last straw. She wasn’t going to keep quiet while her uncle threw all the blame at her.

He should have done it himself if it was that easy.

“I tried my best, the goddess bear me witness,” she started. Her voice came out low in order not to add to her uncle’s fury.

“Your best is as good as not trying at all!”

“I played my cards well, but the doctor gave my secrets away,” she tried to defend herself, hoping to calm Silas’ rigid heart.

“You didn’t take care of the doctor. You should have sent her on an errand of no return since she has a loose mouth. You shouldn’t work with people with loose mouths. It’s dangerous. Supposing you did that, victory would have been ours.”

It made him more mad why she didn’t think of that?

She wouldn’t have been here if she put the doctor in her place.

“Are you planning on rotting away here or are you cooking up a plan?” Silas asked, arching his brow.

Deep down, he hoped she had set out a plan.

Despite how bad things were, he wasn’t going to give up easily.

The throne of the Alpha King was his to claim!

“I don’t know what to do. My days are numbered. Meanwhile, Damon came around this evening. Out of anger, I told him that he didn’t own Aurora’s child. I didn’t know why I said that, but I was just bitter about the recent happenings.”

“You did that? Splendid! So how did it go?” Silas’ face lit up in hope at Rosa’s words.

“I was tortured and silenced,” Rosa replied, biting her bottom lip as tears rolled down her eyes.

“I wasn’t asking if you were tortured, I was asking how he took the news, dummy!” Silas lashes out impatiently. “I don’t care about what happens to you.”

Rosa’s eyes shut in pain at his words, but she tried to contain her anger. “There was no proof, no evidence. From his reaction, he didn’t believe my story.”

“Why? You weren’t convincing enough.”

“How can I be convincing when I lied about it? The baby belongs to him and everyone knows Aurora is decent.”

“I know you want to leave this hell,” he blurted, staring around the dungeon. “But if you want me to help you, you need to sound very convincing. Make him believe you.”

“But how? It will be difficult,” Rosa argued. Her face contorted into a deep frown.

“Think about it, Rosa. If the child doesn’t belong to him, it means she cheated on him. Make him believe Aurora is a cheat.”

Rosa’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets at Silas’ words.

How cunning he was!

“But how?” She asked in disbelief.

“I thought you were smart,” he hissed. “Well, it’s easy. Get a random lowlife man, sweet talk him into getting close to Aurora, make him kiss her unexpectedly, and have someone take pictures of their encounters. Send a guard to get his attention or get the pictures to his Beta. That alone is solid evidence. He might not fully believe you but he might start seeing elements of truth in your words,”

Holy fuck! How did he even think of that within the space of minutes?!

“Give him reasons to doubt Aurora. Plead with him daily that you were pushed to do what you did. And it wasn’t your intention to fool him.”

“But Uncle, it’s Damon we are talking about. I doubt if he will give me listening ears,” Rosa said in worry.

“Everyone knows Damon as an inpatient person. He gets blinded by anger and he doesn’t think things through before diving into it. That is his weakness. He is hot-tempered and that is what we will use against him.”
