Chapter 267:
Aurora
My excitement vanished like a blown-out candle as reality hit me hard.
I was alone. There was no one willing to assist me in my mission. I had no friends.
Who would even want to associate themselves with a cheat, an infidel, and a liar?
The eagerness I had felt earlier drained from my body, leaving me moody and uncertain.
Tears gathered in my eyes as doubt clouded my mind.
I couldn’t embark on this mission alone. It was too risky. I didn’t even know how many days I had left to stay in the castle. All I knew was that my time was running out, and Damon wouldn’t stop looking at me like I was filthy.
He only accepted me because I had reunited him with his brothers. I was certain that once his brothers were nursed back to health, I would be cast aside.
The thought terrified me, but I knew it would soon become a reality. It was a hard pill to swallow. I couldn’t expect Devin and Dax to choose me over royalty and their brother.
Damon was family… I was just property.
Did I just say property?
My lips twitched bitterly as sadness began to creep in. I ceased being his property the day he caught me in bed with another man.
I sighed heavily, my face contorting in sadness. Maybe it was time to accept my fate and choose family over the devilishly handsome triplets.
It was time to seek the warmth of my parents.

No doubt, I missed them like crazy. I wondered how they were coping without me. I couldn’t imagine their pain, especially my mother’s.
It was like I could see her blaming herself and my father for not fleeing to her parents’ pack when they had the chance.
It was my fault. I had brought this upon them. If I hadn’t tried so hard to find a solution, we could have been a happy family.
But I messed up. I was a bad daughter.
I hoped they were ready to accept me because I was coming for them.
With a stabbing pain in my heart, I scanned my surroundings, giving them a final look as I made the toughest decision of my life. Devin and Dax wouldn’t need to feel obligated to repay the favor. There was no need for them to choose between their identity and me.
Damon wouldn’t need to deal with seeing my face again. He could be with his mistress and indulge her strange sexual cravings for all I cared. Rosa and her uncle could finally feel less pressured by my presence, as I wouldn’t be perceived as competition.
At least my life wouldn’t be in danger anymore.
Karma would certainly catch up with Ray for framing me.
I wished everyone the best.
Despite accepting the reality, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
The idea of leaving before dawn didn’t sit well with me.
Was I overreacting, or was it the right decision?
Loneliness and confusion cloaked me like a garment. I desperately needed someone to talk to, as I didn’t want to make another huge mistake.
