Chapter 40AuroraRosa's unexpected order sent an electrifying jolt through my body, leaving her speechless. An icy feeling flooded me, freezing me on the spot in disbelief as the reality of the situation sank in. Scrub the floor?! Why would she tell me that? They were cleaners assigned to scrub floors. As far as I was concerned, I was the Alpha King's property, not her property. The earlier she got that into her thick skull the better for her. The room fell into stunned silence as her shocking words hung in the air. The astonishing news hit us unexpectedly like a thunderstorm, allowing a gasp to roll off the King's mouth. I was certain she was joking. Or maybe my ears were deceiving me. "Are you deaf or do you need a special invitation?" She spat, anger and irritation laced in her voice. "Oh, are you waiting for me to beg before you start working?! Don't make me repeat myself after this or you'll have broken bones. Scrub the damn floor!" I'll have broken bones? She sounded l

Chapter 42Aurora I screamed in horror as the heat from the tea burned my face. Involuntarily, I grabbed a handful of my clothes, wiping the hot liquid off my face. My tears were mixed with tea as they flowed freely from my eyes. A jab of pain and anger flared in my chest as I fought hard not to retaliate. I was so close to slamming her head against the wall, but for the sake of her baby and my life, I'll let it pass. Tears gathered in my eyes as I wiped my face with my palms. The tears weren't as a result of the hot tea she spilled on my face. The tears were as a result that I couldn't fight back. I was defenceless. The only person that could come to my aid was not around. Even if he was around, he left me at the fate of his evil mistress. My face met my arm as I wiped my tears. Was this how I was going to continue to live? Like a slave? Was this how reduced I had become? Maybe I should have fled to my mother's pack where I would be treated like the Alpha's daughter like

Chapter 44DamonCall me the most confused guy in the world and I'll accept. Ever since Aurora collapsed, my buried feelings resurfaced. I thought I was good at masking my feelings. I thought being cold and ignoring her would kill the goddamed feelings. I thought I was good at playing ruthless, but Aurora's presence messed me up. I didn't even know who I was anymore. Each passing day didn't go without me stopping to check on her. And each passing day didn't go without filling me with the urge to pull her close. I missed the feeling of her head on my chest, enjoying my racing heartbeat. I missed the feeling of her silky hair on me and her warmth. And Goddess…her sweet scent drove me crazy. Everything about her reminded me of Ivy.Despite drawing closer to her, I tried to keep my distance at the same time. I didn't want to be overwhelmed by this strange feeling buried in my chest. Gently opened the door not to startle her, I peeked to see what she was doing. Relief washed ove

Chapter 46Damon"She is strong now. The only concern is the scars. Meanwhile, I found something that we can use to make the scars fade. I will get the nurses to rub oil on her back." The doctor explained, adjusting her boring glasses before balancing it on the bridge of her nose. "Why won't they heal on their own? And what kind of oil is it?" I inquired, throwing a concerned look at the scars that were marred on Aurora's back. "My King…" She cleared her throat before swallowing. "The scars you see are as a result of the whip she was flogged with. The whip cut deep into her skin and according to reports, she was flogged over 200 times before she passed out. The tip of the whip was coated with silver, the impact tore her skin each time it landed on it. Before you came to her rescue, she had already lost consciousness and she was bleeding for about…" She paused briefly before peeking at the book in her hand."Three hours. It's a miracle that she wasn't in a coma. And about the oil, it

Chapter 48DamonI couldn't sleep all night. For the first time in a long time, the night was long, so long that I was tempted to fast-forward the hands of the clock. I couldn't wait to see her, feel her, and speak to her. My heart yearned for her presence, my fingers yearned for her touch and my cock yearned for her warmth. The thought of the moment I spent with her came crawling into my head. It was on repeat, I couldn't stop it. I couldn't stop blushing like a fool either. If Dax were here, he would have taunted me all night. Immediately it was dawn, I slipped into Aurora's room. I didn't even bother to wait for the sun to rise. I knew she would still be fast asleep, but that didn't stop me from sneaking into her room as quietly as a mouse to avoid startling her. I loved to watch her sleep. The slow rising and falling of her chest, her soft snores, and her inaudible mutters. It turned me on. My weight sank slowly into the edge of the bed as I brushed the strands of hair
