Marked By The Demon Triplet Alpha Kings

Aurora

I spent the rest of the day in my room avoiding physical contact with the brothers.

Filled with mortification, I locked my door, burying myself in the books I had sneaked earlier into my room from Devin’s library.

Despite trying hard to erase the memory from my head, it remained there, taunting me.

My mind started to wander from the book, making me lose concentration.

All that was stuck in my head was the bathroom moment with the brothers.

It was like a scene that replayed in my head countless times.

“Ahh!” I screamed in frustration, pulling my hair.

How could I be the cause of my problem?!

Why did I touch the control button?!

If only I steered clear of the control button, I wouldn’t be filled with embarrassment.

Devin and Dax’s faces flashed across my mind again, making me whimper in self-pity.

How was I going to face them?

Considering that I was a shy type, I could die of shame.

I didn’t mind staying in my room for days. As long as we didn’t have physical contact.

But was that possible? Do I have everything I need to last me for a week?

My eyes travelled around my room and a frown sat on my face.

Apart from the restroom and a couple of books to take away boredom, I didn’t have food.

Fuck!

How was I going to survive without food until I was cold enough to look into their eyes?

To even think that I hadn’t eaten since morning and it was already evening.

The sun was beginning to set and the small animals retreated to their houses.

As if on cue, my stomach growled.

My heart dropped in fright as I stared at my rumbling stomach.

I was doomed!

I dropped the book on my lap, placing it on the table before retreating to bed.

Maybe if I slept, I wouldn’t feel hungry.

But I was wrong.

The moment I shut my eyes, it was like there was a war going on in my stomach. I couldn’t sleep.

I curled up on the bed, squeezing my stomach to reduce the pain but it only grew worse.

My mouth began to water as the delicious scent of spaghetti and turkey wafted my nose.

It was so enticing, I didn’t know when I walked towards the door and unlocked it.

Maybe it was time to brace up and forget about the incident.

It was only a mistake.

Peeking to see if the path that led to the kitchen was empty, I tiptoed across the room.

A smile lit up my face as an idea popped into my head.

Perhaps, I could sneak some food in.

Who cares if they notice?

I was about to take the next step, but as soon as I heard footsteps approaching, I rushed to my room, shutting the door behind me.

I leaned against the wall, sliding to my knees, before hugging them as I shut my eyes tightly.

I was mad hungry, but I was too mortified to face them.

“Aurora, food is ready,” Dax announced, knocking on my door a few times before walking away.

“Fuck!” I gritted my teeth in anger, punching the floor.

I wasn’t ready to see his face, not after what happened.

“Aurora? Are you alright?” Devin’s authoritative voice boomed, making my heart race.

Why does his voice always have a naughty effect on me?

Panic swept through me as I thought of what to do.

Undecided, I kept silent, waiting for him to leave.

Once there was some eating, I would sneak into the kitchen at night to take my food and take enough that would last me for a week.

“Dax? Where is Aurora?” Devin asked, walking away from my door to meet Dax.

I pressed my ear against the door, straining it to catch their next conversations.

“She should be in her room.”

“She would have answered if she was there. I don’t think anybody is there.”

I heard Devin sigh in worry. “Where could she be? I hope she wasn’t crying about that loser,” he hissed.

“Let’s look around for her. She should be outside since she loves the view,” Dax suggested.

Relief washed over me as their footsteps faded. I squealed in excitement when I heard the front door slammed shut, indicating that they were outside.

Without wasting time, I swung into action, unlocking my door. At the speed of light, I reached the kitchen.

I opened the door as quietly as a mouse to avoid any sound that would catch their attention.

I swung the cabinet open, grabbing as many snacks and cereals as my hands could carry before racing to my room to keep them.

I returned to the kitchen, opening the fridge to take milk, syrup for pancakes, leftovers from last night, fruit juice, apples, bread, vegetables, and any edibles my hands could carry.

I sprinted twice to my room, depositing them in the mini-fridge that sat on the table before sprinting back to the fridge.

The kitchen countertop was disorganized, but I didn’t care if they noticed.

“Have you found her?”

“No. She has to be here somewhere.”

I could hear their worried voices as they searched for me frantically outside.

A part of me was glad that I was important to them.

Without wasting time, I filled my empty plate with spaghetti, before adding three fried turkeys.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I was about to turn to leave when I noticed their footsteps approaching.

My heart began to beat in fear as I tried to sprint to my room, but Devin’s figure covered the entrance of the kitchen door, restraining me from taking another step.

I peeled my eyes away, gluing them to the floor as my cheeks heated up in embarrassment.

The plate of food in my hands began to tremble as he got closer to me.

I was busted!

Unable to make a sound, I was rooted to a spot, waiting for his words when my stomach growled in hunger.

I couldn’t deny how hungry I was.

“There you are. We’ve been combing the house for you,” he said, placing his hand on my shoulder as it filled me with shuddering sparks.

Kill me now, Moon goddess.
