Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers

Chapter 101: Paris

*~ Hazel’s POV ~*

I crashed onto the cold, hard floor as I yanked myself out of his grip. My knees scraped against the rough ground , but I barely felt it. My eyes darted frantically around the forest searching for my babies. And then I heard their voices perfectly laid on the ground .

My gaze snapped back to Cyrius. My mouth opened. "Cayden!" I breathed. "He’s here..!"

But nothing... no response or Atleast a voice. My heart screamed. And Cyrius? He just stood there..calm, unaffected, as if the world wasn’t crumbling around me.

"We’re not going through the border anymore," he said, like this was just another chore. "Turns out there’s another route out of New Orleans. A hidden one. In this forest."

He stepped closer. "So get up. We need to go."

I shook my head, sobbing. "I’m not going anywhere. Please... just let me go."

His voice chilled. "Do you want me to compel you again?"

"Compel me then!" I snapped, rising to my knees. "Do you really think I’d give myself to you like this? Do you think I’ll ever choose to start a family with someone who strips away my will? Who forces me to do things feel things..I don’t want to?!"

He paused. I could see the calculation flicker in his eyes. "If I let you go," he said slowly, "then I lose any chance of starting a family with you. But if I make you stay... I still have that chance. Even if I have to compel you."

My stomach turned. "You’re disgusting," I hissed. "I’m not getting up. Kill me if you want. Because I’m not going anywhere with you."

His jaw clenched. "Hazel. Don’t make me do it again."

"Fuck you!" I spat. "

Yes...fuck me! You made me a monster! You dragged my brothers here..knowing what they did to me!" He yelled.

I stood slowly, trembling with rage. "You want to know the truth? The second time they daggered you... it was me. I fixed the dagger. I pushed it into your chest."
