Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Unknown

A knock sounded on the door before it slid open. Rosa came into view, walking into the luxurious room majestically.

Her eyes scanned the room before a smile spread on her face.

Finally, she didn’t have her heart in her throat this time.

The room was warm and inviting, compared to the past when it was hostile and cold.

It seemed someone was in a good mood today.

Her eyes settled on the figure that sat on the wall, relaxing into the chair with a wine glass in one hand.

Finally, she was able to prove herself worthy.

“Welcome, Rosa.” The figure greeted without turning to look behind before sipping the wine from the glass.

Rosa’s smile widened as her heart melted in joy. Who knew her uncle could be this calm with her?

“Come, sit with me,” he invited her, tapping the space beside him.

Rosa’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the figure for the second time.

Was this her uncle?

Since she had known him, he had never shown his soft and caring side, except when he was in an extremely good mood.

Rosa strode to where he sat, standing before him with her hands clasped against each other.

Despite knowing how extremely happy he was, one bad move might ruin his mood.

Silas was hot-tempered and staying around him was like walking on eggshells.

“I would rather stand, Uncle,” she refused, lowering her head in order not to meet his gaze.

Silas felt challenged when someone’s eyes were pinned on his.

“Nonsense!” Silas flared, raising his displeased eyes to meet hers. “Sit with me,” he ordered, looking at the space beside him before resting his gaze on Rosa who seemed to be contemplating his request.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Moreover, you deserve it for a job well done,” he commended before his lips curled to form a smile.

“Thank you, Uncle,” Rosa smiled nervously before heaving a sigh of relief.

A sense of pride engulfed her, making her relax her back into the chair.

“Have some wine,” he stated, grabbing an extra cup on the table to fill it.

“I knew you would come so I reserved this special wine for you,” he chuckled, glancing at her briefly before focusing on the glass in his hand.

Rosa was about to lift the glass to her mouth when Silas’ voice stopped her.

“I’m in a good mood today…” His voice trailed as he briefly went mute.

“Let’s make a toast to a new dispensation,” he announced, raising his glass to meet Rosa’s glass.

“To a new dispensation,” Rosa repeated, replacing her nervousness with a smile even if she was skeptical about the toast.

The clicking sound of the rim of the glasses echoed throughout the room.

Rosa soon emptied the wine down her throat, stretching the empty glass to Silas for a refill.

“You can have as much as you want, you deserve it. I know you are happy as much as I am,” Silas laughed heartily before refilling Rosa’s glass.

Rosa quickly drained almost all the content down her throat, shutting her eyes to embrace the stinging effect.

She liked that the wine was high in alcohol; it helped her brain process Silas’ words faster.

“You deserve to be happy,” Silas said, patting her shoulder.

Rosa quickly looked away as a frown settled on her face.

She wasn’t happy.

What did he mean by making a toast to a new dispensation?

What was he planning to do behind her back?

With how excited Silas had been, she could tell that there was more reason for it.

Since Aurora’s absence, she noticed Silas’ sketchy behaviour. Each time she tried to confront him, he waved her off, warning her never to disturb him.

She knew Silas better than to believe that he supported her without getting a larger benefit in return.

He was a greedy bastard who wanted to accumulate power.

A part of her kept ringing about how greedy he was despite how she turned deaf ears to it.

She wished she knew his plan and why he agreed to help her without hesitation.

Deep down, she knew it wasn’t just because Silas wanted her to become Luna.

Fear began to prick her heart as thought occupied her mind.

Why was he extremely happy at Aurora’s absence?

According to her plan, she wanted Aurora gone so that she would convince Damon to be his Luna.

But Silas’ plans were alien to her. She hated that he left her in the dark.

She hoped he didn’t stab her in the back.

“Finally, you’ve gotten rid of that bitch and her bastard baby. You proved to me that you are not entirely worthless,” he began, starting a conversation.

“Thanks to you. I wouldn’t have done it without you. You helped me in the background all along. You made this plan a piece of cake.”

For the first time in months, Rosa felt at peace. There wasn’t anyone she competed with.

Aurora was gone and forgotten forever.

Or was she?

Rosa’s mind began to trouble like a tornado as different assumptions swam in her head.

“Why are you troubled?” Silas asked when he noticed her long face. “Enjoy this moment. You don’t know what that bastard Damon has in mind. I notice he hasn’t been himself since his lover left.”

Silas burst into a burst of laughter, holding his chest. “Stupid piece of shit.”

Rosa’s mind was far from Silas’ discussion. She kept draining the wine down her throat to ease her tense feeling.

“What if Aurora isn’t dead? What if she is still surviving somewhere in the woods?” Rosa asked in worry as she stared at the wall.

“These days, I keep having these strange dreams and thoughts of her return. I can’t block it off my head,” she muttered in frustration.

“Don’t tell me that you feel pity for her after she snatched your position away from you? If not for the plan, you would be rotting in the dungeon.”

“I don’t pity her, but I was just wondering if she wasn’t dead yet. I know no one can survive a night in the woods, but Aurora always has a way with luck.”

“Maybe luck will run out on her this time. You see, I am not as dumb as you are. When she left, I bribed some of my men to follow her closely and they reported that they heard her screams for a few minutes before she went silent. Probably, she had been eaten by a wild animal. So, my dear niece, cheer up. Your competition is gone,” he cheered, wrapping his arms around her slim shoulder.

While Silas looked away, Rosa peeked to have a glimpse of his face.

He was too excited.

She was lost in thoughts for a minute as she tried to pinpoint the reason for his strange excitement.

” Why are you helping me, Uncle? My gain from all these is to become Luna, but what is yours?” Rosa asked, shaking off her fears.

Silas’ eyes flashed red for a second before they turned normal.

“You know nothing, child.” He said in a deadly voice pinning his secretive eyes on the wine glass as he stared at his reflection.
