Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Back to the coffin

*~ Caspian’s POV~*

Cyrius struggled to stand up.

"Ha! You are damn right. My babies are indeed miracle babies."

"They are not your babies," I barked at him. "They will never be your babies."

"Okay, whatever you say," he muttered, cracking his knuckles, "but you are not walking away from this place with those babies. I’ll make sure of it."

I braced myself, ready to attack again—when he suddenly stopped.

My eyes flicked to the side and saw Hazel. She was walking in, her steps slow, her hand sliding along the wall for support. Her body looked weak, fragile.

Cyrius’s face stiffened, the dark expression snapping back into place.

"What are you doing here?" he demanded. "Cyrius—what are you doing?"

His jaw twitched before he laughed. It wasn’t a warm laugh—it was cold, sharp, broken.

"You know," he said, "I fell in love with you. Aside from you being my mate... I loved you, Hazel. I love you. But you’re just one of them. A monster. A heartless human."

He reached into his pocket and pulled something out a ring. My chest tightened.

"This was for our wedding," he said. "And you chose to stab me. Not anywhere else—but my heart. ." His voice cracked into a bitter laugh. "You stabbed me in my heart a day before our wedding. You’re just like them. At least they just dumped me in a coffin and left me. But you? You’re worse. I call killing a monster but you’re the bigger monster. Stabbing me on my chest... the day before our wedding."

Hazel’s voice shook. "I had to. You kidnapped me.."

He cut her off and threw the ring at her. It hit the floor, rolling to a stop in front of her feet.

"I hate you," he spat in disdain. "And I promise you...I will make you regret it. I will make you pay for doing that to me, Hazel. I promise you."

I stepped forward, shoving Hazel behind me.

"You will not touch her," I growled through gritted teeth.

"Yes. I won’t," Cyrius said. "I will never torture her. I will never hurt her. She is my mate. But from today onward..you are dead to me."

His face darkened, but I kept my hold on Hazel, tightening it, silently telling her she was safe.

Then, without warning, Cyrius lunged at me. I shoved him back, but he grabbed my arm. We crashed together, fists flying. The babies had strengthened me; I could hold my own now..but he was still stronger, faster, more ferocious. He slammed me hard, his blows heavier than mine, but this time, at least, I could stand up to him.

He threw me, but before my back could hit the wall, he slashed my leg and slammed me into the door. Pain ripped through me, but I tightened my grip around his neck, twisted hard, broke it—yet he stood right back up.

God damn. He’s a monster.

He came at me again, fists flying, each blow heavier than the last. Hazel’s voice cut through the chaos, frantic and breaking.

"Cyrius, stop! Cyrius, I said stop! You’re hurting him! Cyrius—you’re going to kill him!"

He didn’t turn. Didn’t answer. Didn’t even blink. He just kept hammering me until I hit the ground.

Then his gaze darted around the room. His eyes landed on the dagger. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

He picked it up.

He stalked toward me, the tip aimed straight at my chest. He raised it high—

And Hazel stepped between us.

The dagger stopped—its point now pressing against her heart.

"Do it," she said. "Kill me. You said you hate me. You said you’d make me pay. So do it, Cyrius. I dare you."

She gripped his wrist, trying to force the blade into her chest.

His eyes widened. "What are you doing?"

"I said kill me! Because I will never watch you stay alive just to kill him. I will never watch you turn into a monster in front of me. You are not a monster, Cyrius. You’re better than this."

Her voice softened, pleading now. "Come home with me. This life... It’s not going to give you peace. We’ll never get our happy ending like this. But if you come home—back to New Orleans..our home... it will be peaceful. I promise."

His hand began to lower. His breathing slowed.

He was calming down. Listening to her. Listening.. His danger in his eyes has decreased.

I was Infact wowed. In such a short time, they’d already bonded like that.
