Chapter 134
Aurora
“What?” My jaws dropped in disbelief as I shot him a doubtful look, urging him to repeat what he just said.
My heart wouldn’t stop racing in excitement and anticipation as bits of his words echoed in my head.
Maybe I was assuming things.
He was still my master and he wouldn’t make a grave mistake of releasing me since he wasn’t sure if I would take it as an opportunity to flee.
“What did you say?” I repeated as anxiety got the best of me.
My heart wouldn’t stop pounding as impatience ate me up from within.
Could he just spill it already?!
“I said you shall see your parents tomorrow and you are free to do whatever you wish as from now on without restrictions because you are my mate and I accept you…”
I didn’t let him finish the words on his lips before throwing myself on him.
My joy knew no bounds, and my heart was swollen with happiness.
My arms were wrapped around him, and my head dropped to his neck, inhaling his sweet scent before tugging him closer for a firm hug.
His body was warm and comforting, and I almost lost composure.
This was a dream come through.
After all these years, I get to see my parents again..
“Is this a dream? Please don’t wake me up.” My voice came out shaky despite trying to hide my feelings.
My emotions got the best of me, and tears started to gather around my eyes.
“It’s a reality, mate. Henceforth, you are no longer my property. You are my mate, and I accept you as a wonderful gift from the goddess.” His hug deepened, and I relaxed under his touch.
There was something about his presence that filled me with comfort and protection.
“How long do I have to stay?” I asked, pulling myself away from the hug reluctantly.
I missed his touch.
“Take your time. But please return to me, to us. Don’t run away from us, Aurora. I trust you. That is the reason I’m letting you go. This is your home now and forever, Aurora.” His large hands cupped my face as he whispered to me, making my heart melt.
My breath hitched as my heartbeat increased wildly when the bridge of his nose grazed over mine.
“Mi casa es su casa,” he muttered against my ears, fixing his hazel eyes on my brown ones.
We spent the next minutes entangled in each other’s warm embrace. Nothing else mattered.
All the anger I felt previously disappeared, and I felt a tear slip from the corner of my eyes.
How could he be so sweet that I was no longer mad at him.
How was he able to flip my emotional switch with his charming words?
I could feel myself drooling all over him again.
I wanted him around me, I didn’t want him out of my sight, not even for a second.
“I will come back. It’s a promise.” I affirmed confidently before flashing a wide smile at him.
His large fingers disappeared into my hair, twirling it against them before releasing it slowly. “And I will be waiting for you. My regards to your parents.”
As if under a spell, I didn’t feel like going to my parents’ pack anymore.
The only thing on my mind was Damon.
I wanted us to be together all night, doing nasty things.
I miss us.
Thanks to mate bond.
Our bodies grew hypersensitive to each other’s touch, and if care wasn’t taken, we would make out in the corridor.
Sparks tore through our veins, making us yearn for each other, but I wasn’t going to give in that quick.
I would make him work for it.
It was like a tug of war.
Staying with him was making me lose my sanity, yet I wrestled to be focused.
I didn’t want him to see the huge effect that he had on me.
“I’ll be in my room,” I said, turning to excuse myself as I felt my pussy dampen.
But my legs grew strangely heavy.
“Is that so? Even your body says otherwise.” Damon smirked before pulling me closer to him with his hand on my waist.
“That’s not true…” I stammered, trying to defend myself, but words failed me.
“You are my mate and I can smell your arousal,” his raspy voice resonated in my head, causing me to press my thighs against each other.
I could feel my face flushed in embarrassment, making me look away from him.
“You are just making things up,” I defended, maintaining my stand.
“If that’s the case then, let me check,” he said in a serious tone.
I trailed his eyes till it fell in between my legs.
“You won’t be doing that, naughty boy,” I tapped him lightly on his shoulder before taking a few steps away from him.
“Thank you,” I muttered, grabbing his shirt with my fist before planting a brief kiss on his moist lips.
Before he could get to return the kiss, I pulled back, letting out a smile before dashing to my room in excitement.
I couldn’t risk staying another minute with him as I was afraid that my body would give me away.
I didn’t want him to know how much effect he had on me already.
Without wasting any time, I sprang into action, packing my luggage.
Adrenaline got the best of me, fuelling me so that I wouldn’t feel tired.
I couldn’t get over Damon’s promise.
Finally, I was going to see my parents!
My lips curled in a smile as I pictured their faces in my memory.
I hope they were doing fine without me.
As I wheeled my box against the wall, fear consumed me, making me grip the handle of my box tighter.
What if they couldn’t bear it and one of them died?
What if dad’s injury never healed and he gave up the ghost?
What if they don’t want to see me?
Would they even love me and treat me like their own?
Crippled by fear, I slumped on the bed, lowering my head to my palm as sadness overshadowed me.
I didn’t know how long I stared into space, but a pair of hands on my shoulder made me jerk in fear.
Relief flooded me when I saw Alex.
I flashed a weak smile, standing to my feet as I didn’t want to bother her with my problem.
My eyes dropped to the white apron tied to her waist before trailing it to her tired but excited eyes.
“Are you okay?” She questioned, pulling me back to the bed before sitting down beside me with my hands clasped in hers.
It brought me warmth and called my raging heart.
“Why is there a travelling box here? What are you up to?” She asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes.
“Damon said I could visit my parents,” I said with a lack of excitement.
Alex let out a small scream before squeaking in excitement. “That’s good news!” Her voice was filled with joy. Scanning my face, her eyes dropped in confusion.
“Why are you sad? This made my day. Are you not happy that you can finally get to see your parents after these years?”
I looked away from her worry clouded my face. “I’m excited, but at the same time, I’m scared. I feel my parents’ reaction will not be what I expect.”
“That’s silly. Your parents’ reaction will be more than what you expect because they know your return is a miracle. Once you are an Alpha’s property, you can never be free again, but luck smiled on you. You should be grateful.”
Alex’s cheerful words flushed out the doubt brewing in my heart.
Peace flooded me, and my fears were wiped out as if they never existed.
“You won’t run away, right?”
Her strange question threw me off balance, making me cock my brow.
“I would never do that, not after Damon and I are now on good terms, plus we are mates,” I revealed, feeling a burst of pride as the triplets’ image popped up in my head.
I own them.
They own me.
From now on until forever.
“I’m so excited for you,” she said, pulling me in a bear hug before pulling away shortly. “This is great news. Meanwhile, I have other news.”
My body grew itchy in expectation as anxiety got the best of me.
“What is it?”
“Damon has ordered a hunt for Rosa, this time, she will not be spared and her death would be horrendous.”
“Serves her right!” I added, my smile twisted in a dark smirk.
I couldn’t wait to hear her deafening screams from the dungeon whenever she was tortured.
I trusted that Damon would make sure she dies a gruesome death. She deserved it.
“Where is she?” I asked.
“Not yet found but the Gamma and warriors are working on it. Everyone including other packs have been told to be on the lookout. Looks like she won’t be escaping this time.“
“It’s the end of the evil mistress,” I let out a wicked laugh.
“Yeah. She can keep hiding but she can’t hide forever.” Alex chimed in, shaking her head in disdain.
I pulled Alex closer, wrapping my arms around her small frame in comfort. “Don’t worry, you’ll be safe. Damon will protect you and that bitch won’t hurt you. Don’t be scared.” I tried to convince her, patting her shoulder gently.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“You will be heavily protected. It’s a promise.”
“Thank you,” she replied, relaxing into my embrace.
I pulled away from the hug. A smile played on my lips as I cupped her face with my hands. “Thank you, Alex. Thank you for standing up for me against that She-devil. I wouldn’t have gotten enough evidence against her if it weren’t for you. Damon would still believe I cheated on him. Thank you for shedding the light of truth. I really appreciate it.”
“It’s Nothing. I know you were innocent and it hurt to see you suffer. Plus, I would do anything for my new Queen,” she teased, raising eyebrows playfully while I tapped her lightly on her shoulder.
“stop it, silly,” I said. My cheeks flushed red as imaginations ran wild in my head.
The smile on her face vanished as she checked her wristwatch.
A small gasp escaped from her lips as she stood up in a hurry.
“I better get things fixed for the Alpha Kings. I have to go.”
My face dropped as a frown descended on it.
I enjoyed Alex’s company.
“I understand. Very soon, you won’t be doing this anymore,” I blurted unconsciously before restraining myself.
I was tired of her being a maid.
I wanted her freedom. It would come as a surprise.
“See you later. Be safe.” She waved at me before shutting the door.
Loneliness soon became my accomplice and before I knew it, I shut my eyes as sleep consumed me, drifting away into subconsciousness while I dreamt about my parents.

“Ma’am? Ma’am? We’ve arrived.”
A gentle tap on my shoulder made me jerk.
I didn’t know I slept throughout the journey.
With sleepy eyes, I forced a smile, grabbing my purse and my phone before nodding. “Let’s go.”
As my feet landed on the park house’s garage, goosebumps blanketed my skin.
For some seconds, I froze, mentally preparing myself for the event ahead.
When I had gathered myself, I waved at my driver, indicating that we should move.
“Thank you,” I mouthed when he helped me with my travelling box.
We were stopped by a mean-looking guard who scanned us from the crown of our heads to the sole of our feet with a displeased look on his face.
Judging from his appearance, I could tell he was new.
My eyes swept through the plethora of guards that stood by the huge mahogany double doors.
They were all news. Hence their questions.
“Good morning, who are you and what are your intentions?”
I tapped the driver on his shoulder, indicating that he should back down while I handled everything.
I cleared my throat, flashing a smile at him. “My name is Aurora and we are here to see the Alpha.”
A deep scowl descended on his face as he shrugged his shoulders.
“Do you have an appointment?” he asked reluctantly.
“I don’t,” I replied, blaming myself for not booking an appointment.
It wasn’t my fault as everything happened fast.
Who knew that I would visit my parents today?
“I’m sorry, but you can’t see the Alpha. You need an appointment as if your life depends on it. You can stay in the hotel down the road and come back tomorrow, after you’ve booked an appointment,” he stated.
I could feel my driver’s anger all over the place.
“Let me handle it ma’am,” he asked.
I nodded, granting him permission before relaxing to watch the little show.
He would regret making us wait.
“How about this, numbness, we are from the Triplet Alpha Kings and we want to see your Alpha this instant,” he gritted his teeth, flexing his finger as he was ready to land a heavy punch on the guards face.
No one dared mess with anyone sent by the Triplet Alpha Kings.
Horror flashed on the guards face as his countenance changed within seconds.
“This way, ma’am,” he said in an apologetic tone, leading the way into the house with regret plastered on his face.
“Get lost. We know where we are going.” The driver growled in anger, flashing his canines at him while the guard cowered away.
“That was something,” I said, laughing at the poor guard. “I wanted to play nice before, but he doesn’t deserve it.”
“I can make him lose his job, just say the word, ma’am.”
“No. Just leave the poor guy alone,” I said, looking good away from him with disinterest, while I walked into the large dining room.
My family never changed their routine.
I froze on a spot as my parents came into view as emotions took over me.
My mother was the first to notice my presence before the jar of orange juice in her hand dropped and fell to the floor, creating a mess.
“AURORA!” She screamed in ecstasy as disbelief swept through her eyes.
