Chapter 6: Scarlet
"What?" Theresa's voice reverberated in Aurora's ears as she drew closer to them on the bed. Theresa's anger was obvious as she thought of Damien, who seemed determined to cause her distress. Despite all her attempts to conceive an heir, they had all been futile.
She couldn't help but to believe the rumors of Damien's alleged impotence, and her anxiety grew.
Interrupting her thoughts, Aurora glanced at Theresa, who demanded an explanation for the mark on Aurora's neck. Although Theresa attempted to maintain a calm facade, her expression betrayed her true emotions.
Damien's refusal to comply with her wishes was driving her to the brink of insanity. How difficult could it be for him to mate with a woman? She was merely trying to secure his position as an Alpha, yet all he cared about was his work.
Aurora hesitated, contemplating whether to reveal the truth or play along. However, given the circumstances, Theresa would stop at nothing to uncover the truth and protect her own dignity. It was best to come clean and put an end to their doubts
"He used it to deceive you into thinking we had something," Aurora confessed, wrapping the blanket around her body to conceal the mark.
"Why didn't he touch you?" Theresa's question irritated Aurora. How was she supposed to know why the Alpha had chosen not to engage with her? Shouldn't Theresa consult him before making decisions on his behalf? What was the point if he had no interest in it?
"He is not interested in mating with any woman. Give up now and spare yourself the stress," Aurora retorted without holding back her words.
"In that case, you will be confined to the omega's quarters. Let's see who should be spared from stress," Theresa responded coldly, her voice dripping with icy determination.
