Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Escape plan.

**~ Hazel’s POV ~**

My heart pounded violently in my chest as I calculated my next move. One wrong step—and it was over.

She stood in front of me, gripping the rope tight, a smug grin playing on her lips. I had already memorized the angle. I knew exactly where the wolfsbane would drop if she pulled it. All I needed was a little distraction.

So I steadied my breath and decided to play her game.

"Cyrius can’t love you," I said calmly. "You’re wasting your time, dear."

She scoffed, unbothered. "Oh, I don’t need him to love me... to make him mine." Her smirk made my skin crawl.

"Yours?" I laughed coldly. "You seem to be forgetting you’re talking to his true mate."

"Nonsense!" she spat. "That man will forget you soon enough. He even told me to get rid of you."

"Shut up!" I yelled, fury burning through me.

"Oh? Surprised?" she taunted, voice dripping with venom. "Your darling Cyrius doesn’t care about you anymore."

"He would rather die than be stuck with you!" I roared.

She laughed—loud, wild, cruel. But in that moment, I saw it. She was off-guard.

I lunged.

She pulled the rope—but I was ready. The wolfsbane rained down from every direction, just as I predicted. I twisted, dodging the deadly spray, then tackled her to the ground.

I grabbed her hair, yanking her head up.

"If you weren’t a woman, I swear I’d put you to permanent sleep in the most gruesome way imaginable."

She screamed and punched me across the face, sending me stumbling back. Then—she shifted.

And slammed into me, launching me out the window.

I fell.

But my hands gripped the ledge just in time. My fingers burned, muscles strained, but I held on.

Thinking I had fallen, she turned away.

That was her mistake.

I pulled myself back in, silent and swift, then grabbed her by the back of the head.

"Good luck having Cyrius... in hell."

And I snapped her neck and she dropped—lifeless.

I stood there, heart thudding as I stared at her body. I never wanted to kill her... But some people just don’t leave you a choice.

I was about to turn when Caspian suddenly barged in.

"Hazel, we need to leave. We’re in trouble."

"What?" I stood stunned.

He grabbed my hand. "I said, we need to leave!"

"Caspian, what is happening?!"

"We’re surrounded, Hazel. We are damn surrounded. Look outside the window."

I rushed to the window and gently pulled back the curtains—to see an entire pack of wolves gathered outside the High House. Alpha Alexander sat majestically at the center while hundreds of wolves surrounded the estate like a fortress.

I took a deep breath as my stomach churned and turned back to Caspian.

"How are we going to handle all of this?"

"We" is not happening. It’s me." He pointed to himself. "You’re running. I’ll handle them."

"Well, you’re my mate and I’d rather die than watch any wolf lay their hands on you. It is my utter responsibility to protect you. I took that vow as your husband."

"Well, I’m also a wolf. And I remember we both took that vow to stand by each other. For better or worse. I would rather die than leave my husband to fend for himself while I, a natural-born Crescent, i don’t run from danger but danger runs from me!"
