The Cursed Triplet Alphas' Fated Mate-Chapter 97: explanations

Sue

"I- wow." I finally breathed out, while my head began to spin again. I was still in a shocked state cause I still couldn’t believe all that I was hearing right now. Could Hugo really be telling the truth? I stared into his eyes, trying to figureviutbifbje was lying or not, but his face was just like I used to remember since the first night we crossed paths. I let out another exhale, feeling my heart clench tightly in my chest from hurt.

"That’s so crazy to think about." I muttered again, feeling my heart cave in the more I kept turning all what Hugo just said in my head. I was fully aware that the triplets weren’t good people since the moment they had me kidnapped. However, I was also aware that they had their moments every here and now. I hated them, there was no two ways about it. However, I never knew they were as bad as this. I mean, if they were gonna kill me, then they should have done that the night their father revealed to them that my father was responsible for the death of their mother, but they hadn’t, so I had assumed I’d never have to worry about that again.

My eyes settled on Hugo again and I sighed, feeling flatter settle over me on remembering him explaining that he saved me from them. He had no reason to do this, but he did. Why? I wasn’t one to pretend like I didn’t know he had eyes on me, but to me, that was still not enough for him to decide to go against the triplets.

"I know you’re still in a state of shock. You don’t have to say much just yet, we can talk more once we arrive at my home here." He murmured, his voice echoing around me and I swallowed emptily while nodding, feeling numb all over. His hand was still around mine and I still didn’t pull it away cause weirdly, it was feeling like his hold was grounding me a little.

The car ride was silent till the car pulled up before a very large house. This time, Hugo was about to carry me inside but I declined and offered to walk myself. He carried me in his arms despite my protests, explaining that I had no shoes on so this was the best option right now. I tensed in his arms at first cause having his arms around me still wasn’t something I was used to, and it wasn’t helping that I still wasn’t finding his scent comforting. It seems like after getting bonded to the triplets, my brain now only cared about their scents and no one else’s. I let out a low sigh as Hugo walked into the house and set me down on the couch, then he stepped backward and regarded me.

"So... what would you like to eat? Or drink?" He asked but I shook my head politely. I was in a territory I didn’t recognize, so there was no way I’d be relaxed enough to get anything into my stomach.

"Nothing for now, thank you." I told him as I sighed. Hugo stood staring at me for a bit before he finally crouched before me, his hand settling on my knee. Feeling awkward, I slowly pushed his hand off and cleared my throat as our eyes met.

"C- can you not touch me?" I breathed out as gently as I could. I didn’t wanna be outrightly rude to him, cause after all, he just saved me from death. But I didn’t like that he ended touching me so much, without bothering to ask first at that. It was starting to make me uncomfortable, and that was a feeling that wouldn’t help my present situation out right now.

His eyes widened for a moment as he dropped his hand at his side. "Oh." He sighed and I rushed to add.

"I’m sorry, I just don’t feel comfortable, and I don’t like a lot of physical touches." I breathed out and he hummed as he regarded me.

"But you let the princes touch you." He breathed out and my brain short circuited as I blinked at him.

"Huh?" I whispered, feeling confused and watching as he shrugged a little.

"You let them touch you, throughout the times we were back in the palace, you always had their scent ok. And right before I rescued you, their scent was heavily clinging to your body. You even let them mark you as well. Do you like them?" He spoke so fast that my head spinned as I listened to each word toll off his tongue.

"I- I what?" I cried out, rearing back.

"I don’t let them touch me, they do it against my will and I never liked it! And if you were referring to right before you rescued me, it’s because they had to mark me for a reason, and it was against my will again! And that was what triggered my heat. I- I don’t, I don’t like them! What made you assume that I do?" I was breathing hard when I finished speaking and Hugo huffed a little while still staring at me, then he exhaled slowly as he regarded me.

"I guess I was wrong to come to conclusions without asking you first. Sounds like the Princes really took advantage of you and also treated you very horribly." He murmured and I sighed as I pushed my hair out of my face, feeling hurt slowly come over me. It was just starting to fully dawn on me that the Prince really tried to kill me. How the fuck did they really try to do that? I was fully aware that they owed me morning. Not loyalty, not respect, yet it still felt like I was betrayed and stabbed in the back by them right now.

So does this means they were probably celebrating by fucking Lyla together? Or, were they doing something else like desperately searching for me just so they could finish me off and kill Hugo as well? Anger filled my insides as that thought crossed my mind.

Those fucking bastards... I have them so damn much that it made my blood boil right now from just thinking about it.

"But it’s fine, at least now you’re with me. You’re safe here and I’ll always protect you. If they almost find you, I’ll take you and flee to somewhere else as well." He explained and I frowned as I blinked down at him.

"Isn’t that too stressful for you? And why are you even helping me?" I asked after a few seconds, a frown on my face as I stared at him.

He hummed, his hand running through his hair ax he shrugged a little. "Well, as you already undoubtedly know, I’m very much into you." He stated and I felt a little tug in my chest from that word and that was it. I sighed again as I waited for him to continue, but it seemed like he was done speaking.

"That’s all? No other reason?"

He frowned. "Do I need to have another reason?" He asked and I sighed as I shook my head.

"I— it just sounds weird though. You hiding me away means you’re also going against the old king and that’s just illogical to me, and that’s also not enough reason for you to betray your family for me, simply because you like me," I breathed out, the frown still on my face as I spoke. I watched as a friend settled on his face as well as it seemed like he was thinking about what I just said, then he rolled his eyes and shrugged a little.

"But to me, liking you is enough, and why wouldn’t it be? I really like you, you know. And it’s more than a mere, passing attraction."

My eyes widened and I felt my eyed widened a little. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Oh."

"Yeah." He echoed, a small grin tugging at his lips and I glanced away while feeling my face start to redden.

"That’s still insane to think about. This means you can’t return back to your pack because of me. I- I don’t like that, it makes me feel more guilty.

This time, Hugo huffed before he got off and sank into the spot beside Mr on the couch.

"Don’t worry your pretty head off over irrelevant stuff like that, okay? What’s the point of me still being in that pack and still being on good terms with all of them, when I don’t have the woman I really desire?" He asked quietly and I swallowed again as I glanced over.

I turned his words around the insides of my head, my mind reeling. He was full on admitting that he liked me, and it was way more serious than I ever could have guessed. As I blinked at him, it slowly hit me that what if now that he rescued me, he automatically expected us to get together romantically...
