Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Devil.

*~Aurora’s POV~*

I found myself standing in front of the altar. My breath hitched in a matter of seconds. I was dressed up, my fingers twisting hard as my stomach felt heavy. My gaze spun as the rain started, like it was pouring inside my head.

I looked around and only a few demons were present. Darius had made it clear he didn’t want many of them around. He didn’t want a crowd. He didn’t want distractions. Not today, not when I was ready to argue, ready to fight.

Then he came.

Darius and his demons started strolling down the aisle. I took a deep breath, knowing all of this was over. My journey with Leon was over. My journey with my family, with Ezo, with the triplets, with New Orleans... everything was ending because I was getting married today.

Tears burned at the bridge of my eyes, and the moment that monster started closing the distance between us, I swallowed hard. I watched as Darius approached me, long white hair falling over pale skin, blue eyes cold and calculating. He looked like hell itself, wrapped up like a promise made on the worst day of my life.

He won.

It was smeared across his face so clearly that it made fear curl in my chest. My stomach tightened, and I felt my baby’s heartbeat, steady and real, reminding me that I wasn’t alone.

Then the ugly emotions crept back in.

My Leon.

It should have been him. I should have been marrying him, the man whose child I was carrying inside of me. But my hope of ever seeing Leon again was crumbling into dust. I couldn’t touch him again, couldn’t feel his hands in mine, couldn’t even run back to my family, to my sister, to my parents, because I knew the truth.

The moment this wedding ended, they would take me far.

As far as they could.

And I didn’t know if I would ever be ready for that. The thought of raising my child beside a completely different man, forcing my baby to believe Darius was his father, made something twist violently inside me. I wondered if I would even live long enough to watch my child grow.

Because I would never make it easy for them to control me.

And if they couldn’t control me, if the only thing they truly needed from me was the child inside my body, then the moment I stopped being useful, they would kill me.

Darius climbed onto the altar and took my hand. He kissed it, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as his eyes scanned me like I was his next meal.

This was the second time I would stand at an altar, dressed as a bride... except this time, the groom wasn’t a man. He was a monster.

The first time, Leon came to save me. And I wondered if he could come this time too.

But they already had a fake clone of me. A perfect copy placed beside them so they could keep living like nothing had happened. Like they had won. And that gave me the smallest, most dangerous kind of hope, the kind that could destroy you from the inside out.

Because what if they never even noticed I was gone?

That was the worst part.

My own family, my own people, would think everything was finally fine. They would believe Aurora was safe, that Aurora was back, that Aurora was smiling, breathing, living. Not knowing it wasn’t even me. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The real Aurora was here. Trapped. Carrying a child.

And Leon would never know.
