Chapter 108
Damon
“She leaves tomorrow then,” Jasper announced with a smirk on his face.
I could see him peeking at me from the corner of his eyes but I was quick to mask my expression.
“Definitely!” I replied in a firm voice before clearing my throat.
Definitely not!
Jasper’s words threw my mind into a state of trouble and confusion.
Why would he ask me to take such a risk when he knew how much she meant to me?
How could I send Aurora away?
I couldn’t even stomach the idea of watching her leave me again.
It would break me, just like it did the last time.
No one knew how miserable I felt.
Thanks to alcohol and tobacco for being my best friend.
Her absence caused me to hallucinate and resurrect my demons.
Despite my angry expression, a part of me was glad she returned unhurt.

I couldn’t send Aurora away.
What if she dies this time? What if she never returns to me?
I would never forgive myself for the huge mistake.
Her presence was like a soothing balm that relieved my pain.
I want her in this castle with me. Not a hair on her head should be harmed. I didn’t want bruises on her skin. I wanted it smooth and flawless…just like Ivy’s.
A frown settled on my face at the comparison.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I need to get a grip on my emotions.
Aurora was a liar and a cheat. And I hated her.
How dare she share her pussy with another man?!
How dare she moan another man’s name when she knew she belonged to me until death do us part.
Fuck my feelings, she would leave for the sake of my sanity.
Her presence makes me cringe in disgust. All I could think of was the day I caught her in bed with another man.
Fuck!
She reeked of him!
It drove me insane to think that his scent was all over her.
I almost lost it.
My breath became harsh as I almost yanked my hair off my head in anger.
I would have punched the wall if Jasper wasn’t beside me.
“Are you alright, my King?” he asked, pinning me with his eyes.
It was late to mask my expression as he read me like an open book.
I swallowed hard, pinning my eyes on the floor before taking deep breaths to calm the anger that rose within me like a storm.
Get it together, Damon. I yelled at myself, but it wasn’t working.
I was on the verge of having an outburst.
“My King?” Jasper inquired impatiently.
I took a deep breath before turning towards the door. “I’m fine. Let’s go in.”
My hands disappeared into my pocket before they slipped out almost immediately.
I withdrew a key card that I used to open the door.
The safety of my brothers’ lives was paramount as I didn’t want anyone slipping in to harm them.
My jaws dropped to the floor when I pushed the door open.
My eyes widened in disbelief as they almost popped out of the sockets.
“What? This is a miracle!” Jasper gasped, rushing towards my brothers’ beds.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. My brothers were perfectly fine!
“Devin! Dax? You are awake!” I exclaimed before rushing to them and embracing them in a bear hug.
I snuggled closer to them and tightened the hug as droplets of tears trickled from my eyes.
I couldn’t hold back the tears of joy, I let them flow.
Years ago, I prayed for a day like this. A day that I will reunite with my brothers.
It has finally arrived.
I was the happiest man on earth.
I couldn’t thank the Moon goddess enough.
It felt so surreal. I had almost given up hope, thinking they were gone for good, but the Moon goddess gave us a second chance.
Nothing would tear us apart anymore.
“How are you feeling?” I asked with a huge smile plastered on my face. I was already grinning from ear to ear.
A surge of restlessness shot up within me, making it impossible for me to keep calm.
I almost didn’t blink as I was afraid that they would vanish before my eyes.
“Good,” they chorused in unison, making my heart skip.
I missed the masculinity of their voices.
“Have the doctor attended to you?” I asked impatiently, before sitting on an empty chair.
My eyes scanned the room for a second.
Relief washed over me as the machines that were used to support them had reduced.
Devin and Dax’s hands no longer had a drip attached to them. They were healed.
“Yes. He waited for you, but when he didn’t see you on time, he left,” Devin answered, adjusting on the bed.
“Are you fine? Should I help you adjust the pillow?” I offered, jumping on my feet as I tried to move the pillow behind Devin’s back.
I couldn’t refrain myself.
“No, it’s fine. It’s just a slight back pain-”
“Do you need a massage?” I asked impatiently, interrupting him before scolding myself mentally for not being able to foresee his pain.
“No, it’s fine. The doctor already prescribed a drug to take care of that.” He stopped me.
My eagerness declined and I started to get worried.
Was he not happy to see me?
Hasn’t his memory been restored?
Devin’s recoiling attitude filled me with sadness.
The air started to feel harsh and unwelcoming.
Did he hate me?
Uncomfortable silence hung in the air as everyone was lost in their thoughts.
My heart grew in worry with each passing second at Devin’s cold behaviour.
Doesn’t he miss me?
I stole a glance at him, trying to get a hint of his feelings.
My brows furrowed in curiosity as I noticed his eyes were pinned to the door before they rested in me.
Was he expecting someone?
Straining my ears, I could hear the rapid beating of his heart.
It did not take me long to figure out that he was excited to see someone.
But who was it?
Was it Aurora? It had to be her.
Jealousy flushed through me at the thought that they were concerned about Aurora more than me.
Only if they knew what the bitch was capable of doing.
“Where is Ivy? Where is our mate?”
