Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Beffitiny burial.

*~Aurora’s POV~*

Finally, I managed to find somewhere to crash the carriage after we had been moving for what felt like hours. I climbed down, my hands shaking and sore from gripping the reins for so long. Gabrielle got down beside me, and I immediately reached for her.

She took a long, steadying breath and then turned to me.

"I’m sorry, Aurora... but I have to leave now."

"What?" My voice cracked. "You can’t leave. Not now. I shouldn’t be here alone."

"I shouldn’t be here either," she said gently, "but we will meet again. Trust me. And when we do... it will be at the moment you need me the most."

"But I need you now," I whispered. "I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to survive this."

"You will survive," she said firmly. "Trust me. You are carrying a baby—a prophecy. And that prophecy will be fulfilled. You will survive."

"But how are you going to escape?" I asked desperately.

"Do not worry about me," she said. "Worry about keeping the prophecy alive."

"What prophecy?" I breathed out, confused. "What does that mean?"

"You know the prophecy," Gabrielle said softly. "You are carrying it."

And with that, she whispered, "Goodbye," and ran into the woods.

I took a step after her, ready to call her back—but something inside me held me still. What prophecy? What did she mean? My sister fighting Darius... Leon and Caspian possibly dead... me kneeling on the ground ready to give up...

It felt like everything was over.

Then I heard voices.

I jerked upright and saw Rebecca and a group of demons approaching a few meters away.

"Aurora," Rebecca called, and I immediately grabbed a broken branch, pointing it at her with shaking hands.

"Don’t come closer to me."

She lifted her hands slowly. "Where is Darius? We heard you all were attacked."

"Yes," I snapped. "And you all will die. Justice will finally prevail. You’re going to regret everything you’ve done to me and my people. I’ve had enough."

"Your husband—" she started.

"He is not my husband!" I yelled, and she scoffed.

"You just got married. Not too long ago. So you will help us find him and the prisoners or you will—"

"The prisoners?" I cut in. "Hazel and the rest... they escaped?"

"Yes. And if we don’t catch them, I promise—you will suffer for it."

"Oh, I doubt that."

A sudden familiar presence appeared behind me. Hazel.

Her hands were drenched in blood. Her clothes were torn. Her mouth looked like she had been chewing through flesh. She spat something out and flicked it into the woods.

A bone.

Damn it... when did Hazel get so feral?

"You’d better stay away from her," Hazel said, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "Unless you want to end up like that." She gestured at the bone she tossed.

Rebecca flinched. Her demons shifted, ready to attack.

Then Cayden and Lilith stepped out from the trees. They looked just like Hazel—blood on their lips, on their hands, on their clothes.

"Well, hello there, random demon," Caden hissed. "Are you ready to go down?"

Rebecca gestured sharply, and the demons leapt forward but in a single snap of Lilith’s fingers, they all collapsed to the ground, paralyzed. Blood dripped from Lilith’s nose as she strained.

"We don’t have much time," she gasped. "Caden—now!"

Cayden moved like lightning. He tore off their heads one by one. Rebecca stumbled backward, horrified.

"You and your kind really thought you could overpower us by locking us in some damn prison?" Cayden growled. "We studied those prisons. Learned everything about your demon tricks. Turns out you’re nothing special—just witches tapping into dark magic with pale skin and white hair."

Lilith smirked. "And now... you’re going back to hell where you belong."

They were about to finish Rebecca when something inside me screamed.

"Wait!" I shouted.

"Please... don’t harm her, Hazel. Please," I begged.

All of them turned to me like I had completely lost my mind.

"Do you even know what you’re saying?" Hazel snapped. "She’s one of them. She’s a demon."

"Don’t harm her," I repeated. "I know she’s terrible. I know she’s part of them. But please... don’t hurt her."

Rebecca’s eyes widened.

"Rebecca—run," I said.

She stared at me, frozen. I could see the way she struggled to keep a straight face, but her eyes were filling with tears.

"Rebecca," I said more urgently, "run!"

Cayden growled and lunged toward her, but Rebecca shifted positions so fast she ended up trapped in the middle of all of us, surrounded with no path to escape.

"Please, Cayden," I begged again. "Do not harm her."

Cayden turned to me with disbelief.

"Aurora, are you insane? Did they do something to you? Or—" his eyes narrowed—"did she bond her life to yours?"

Rebecca flinched at his accusation.

"No," I said firmly. "She didn’t do any of that. But she deserves to live. Please—don’t hurt her."

Lilith stepped forward, wiping the blood from her mouth.
