The Cursed Triplet Alphas' Fated Mate-Chapter 96: questions

Sue

Despite Hugo’s assuring words, I still felt scared out of my mind as I stared at him right now.

"It’s hard to believe those words cause I’m literally tied up right now, and I still don’t know where you’re taking me to, or..." I was still speaking when he suddenly got to his feet and stepped away from me. When I blinked at him In confusion, he nodded at me jerkily.

"Your scent is messing with my head. The scent of heat." He explained and I felt a flush came over me as I glanced away, taking in the scent clinging to the air. It was the smell of my heat, even though I didn’t feel aroused or like my body was being set on fire. I guessed this means I was yet to fully exit the heat phase. I exhaled slowly as I glanced back at Hugo and frowned.

Nothing still made sense to me right now. I wax glad that I had seen Hugo right now, that was better than me being greeted by complete strangers. But somehow, a weird uncomfortable feeling was sitting heavily in my stomach the more I stared at Hugo.

"Aren’t you gonna untie me if you wouldn’t hurt me??" I asked and he sighed again, a pinched expression on his face.

"I can’t do that."

I frowned, my heartbeat picking up. "Why?"

"I’ll explain once we get off this place." He responded and once again, my heartbeat accelerated.

"What do you mean though? And where are we going?"

He sighed one last time and turned around.

"Just, get some sleep again. We’ll arrive in a few hours, then I’ll explain everything to you." He explained without glancing back at me, and I quickly began to call on his name as he exited the room, but he didn’t glance back as he closed the door after him. I called out his name frantically while still struggling to loosen the ropes around my hands, and after trying some more, I gave up on realizing that it was pointless. However, my fear didn’t disappear for a moment. I was scared as hell. Nothing was making sense to me right now. I have a lot of questions, but no one to answer them seeing as Hugo already left.

Where the fuck was he taking me to? I didnt wanna jump

Into conclusions cause I’ve learnt that never helps, but I was nervous as hell right now.

I didn’t go back to sleep. How could I do that in my present state? That was basically impossible.

I remained seated, in the same spot, till the door opened and Hugo reemerged. As he ate up the distance between us with his feet, I felt myself grow nervous and afraid. He stopped right in front of my bed and dropped into it, making me duck in a sharp breath as I quickly rolled away, or attempted to. He grabbed my wrist and tugged me back, but before I could scream, he was settling his hand over my shoulder and pulling me into his side as he spoke at the same time.

"Relax, gorgeous. I’m not gonna hurt you, didn’t I already give you my word? I’m just holding you cause the plane is about to land." He explained and my eyes widened in realization then I was flushing.

"Oh." I whispered and he hummed just as the plane tilted, pushing me right into his side. We were so close right now, and my heart was pounding so hard, it echoed in my ears. I remained frozen against him, my stomach in nervous knots and unsure of how to feel right now. I didn’t particularly like his arms around me right now, but I didn’t hate it. It confused me, and made me unsure of what to think. I still had a lot of questions which are still unanswered, and I still had a bad feeling, but right now, I felt safe for a fleeting moment.

After the plane stopped moving, I wanted to move away from Hugo, and resume asking him my questions. However in the next moment, he whisked me into his arms while I gasped in utter shock.

"I assumed your legs are weak right now, so just relax. I’m only taking you into my car." He told me after I stiffened in his arms. I exhaled slowly and bit back a protest, reminding myself to relax even though I felt like I was in danger right now.

I kept glancing around as Hugo walked out of the plane, and that was when I realized that it was a private plane and the people outside the plane seemed to be working for Hugo. They all bowed to him in respect and one of the people standing around a car, and I realized that even if I was in danger right now, screaming was out of the question cause it was very clear that I wasn’t gonna be getting any help. That made me stiffen in Hugo’s arms and he instantly noticed, seeing as he glanced down at me and arched a brow, a comforting smile on his face but I didn’t feel comforted at all.

"What’s wrong? Are you in pain?" He asked and I shook my head just as he slid into the car with me and sat me in the spot beside him. Before I could open my mouth, he loosened the ropes around my wrists and I exhaled shakily, feeling a relieved feeling crawl up my throat, but it was tiny. As he massaged my wrists, he spoke.

"I did tell you that I was gonna explain everything to you, didn’t I?" He began and I nodded, my heartbeat accelerating a little. I ended up pulling my wrist from his hold cause I didn’t like that he was touching me too much, especially seeing as I was still scared even after he loosened those ropes. And that’s because despite my arms being freed, I was basically trapped in this car with him right now.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked without beating around the bush.

"My house." He responded bluntly and I blinked slowly while my mind reeled.

"I— what?"

He laughed a little and reached for my cheek but I pulled out of his reach. His hand hung in the air for a moment and I felt awkward so I averted my gaze, while he dropped his hand and cleared his throat a little.

"I’m taking you over to my house, to protect you," he findkky responded and I glanced back at him.

"Huh?" I breathed out while my brain struggled to make sense of what he just said. To protect me? From what? From who?

"That’s the truth. If I hadn’t intervened when I did... you might have died by now." He revealed and my mouth fell open as I gaped at him.

"I dont... I don’t understand though. To protect me from what?"

"From your mates, my cousins." He responded flatly when his eyes met mine again and a sharp breath whooshed right out of my lungs as I almost fell out of my seat from shock at that moment.

"What?" I whispered, unable to believe my ears as I blinked at him in utter disbelief.

He grimaced as he continued. "It’s nothing but the truth, but of course, you don’t have to believe me," he stated and I exhaled breathlessly again.

"I- I don’t, I feel lost right now." I finally managed to breathe out and this time when Hugo reached for my hand, I didn’t pull it away.

My mind was still reeling as I struggled to grasp unto what I just heard.

The triplets tried to kill me?

That was... that was impossible. How could that be possible? They just saved my life when they could have let their deranged wives kill me. They had me sleep in their bed, they didn’t harm me... and they also still need me for something important... So why would they try to kill me? That wasn’t adding up to me right now.

"How did you save me?" I asked quietly as I stared at Hugo again. I wanted to process everything together and add it up in my head.

Hugo shrugged, his lips in a thin line as he responded. "Their father had just threatened to take the throne from them if they didn’t do that, and they didn’t want to lose the throne. They had been planning to return back to kill you after they left the meeting with their father, so I moved fast and got to you first, then I had to sneak you out of the palace. It hadn’t been easy at all, and to make it as secretive as possible, I had to tie your hands and carry you in my arms the entire time." He explained and I felt my mind reel the more I listened.

"As it is, I’m being sought after, cause now they all know I’m the one who took you. They’re searching for me cause they wanna kill you. Should they find me, they’ll kill you first before killing me for daring to help you."
