"I- wow." I finally breathed out, while my head began to spin again. I was still in a shocked state cause I still couldn’t believe all that I was hearing right now. Could Hugo really be telling the truth? I stared into his eyes, trying to figureviutbifbje was lying or not, but his face was just like I used to rember since the first night we crossed paths. I let out another exhale, feeling my heart clench tightly in my chest from hurt.
"That’s so crazy to think about." I muttered again, feeling my heart cave in the more I kept turning all what Hugo just said in my head. I was fully aware that the triplets weren’t good people since the mont they had kidnapped. However, I was also aware that they had their monts every here and now. I hated them, there was no two ways about it. However, I never knew they were as bad as this. I an, if they were gonna kill , then they should have done that the night their father revealed to them that my father was responsible for the death of their mother, but they hadn’t, so I had assud I’d never have to worry about that again.
My eyes settled on Hugo again and I sighed, feeling flatter settle over on rembering him explaining that he saved from them. He had no reason to do this, but he did. Why? I wasn’t one to pretend like I didn’t know he had eyes on , but to , that was still not enough for him to decide to go against the triplets.
"I know you’re still in a state of shock. You don’t have to say much just yet, we can talk more once we arrive at my ho here." He murmured, his voice echoing around and I swallowed emptily while nodding, feeling numb all over. His hand was still around mine and I still didn’t pull it away cause weirdly, it was feeling like his hold was grounding a little.
The car ride was silent till the car pulled up before a very large house. This ti, Hugo was about to carry inside but I declined and offered to walk myself. He carried in his arms despite my protests, explaining that I had no shoes on so this was the best option right now. I tensed in his arms at first cause having his arms around still wasn’t sothing I was used to, and it wasn’t helping that I still wasn’t finding his scent comforting. It seems like after getting bonded to the triplets, my brain now only cared about their scents and no one else’s. I let out a low sigh as Hugo walked into the house and set down on the couch, then he stepped backward and regarded .
"So... what would you like to eat? Or drink?" He asked but I shook my head politely. I was in a territory I didn’t recognize, so there was no way I’d be relaxed enough to get anything into my stomach.
"Nothing for now, thank you." I told him as I sighed. Hugo stood staring at for a bit before he finally crouched before , his hand settling on my knee. Feeling awkward, I slowly pushed his hand off and cleared my throat as our eyes t.
"C- can you not touch ?" I breathed out as gently as I could. I didn’t wanna be outrightly rude to him, cause after all, he just saved from death. But I didn’t like that he ended touching so much, without bothering to ask first at that. It was starting to make uncomfortable, and that was a feeling that wouldn’t help my present situation out right now.
His eyes widened for a mont as he dropped his hand at his side. "Oh." He sighed and I rushed to add.
"I’m sorry, I just don’t feel comfortable, and I don’t like a lot of physical touches." I breathed out and he humd as he regarded .
"But you let the princes touch you." He breathed out and my brain short circuited as I blinked at him.
"Huh?" I whispered, feeling confused and watching as he shrugged a little.
"You let them touch you, throughout the tis we were back in the palace, you always had their scent ok. And right before I rescued you, their scent was heavily clinging to your body. You even let them mark you as well. Do you like them?" He spoke so fast that my head spinned as I listened to each word toll off his tongue.
"I- I what?" I cried out, rearing back.
"I don’t let them touch , they do it against my will and I never liked it! And if you were referring to right before you rescued , it’s because they had to mark for a reason, and it was against my will again! And that was what triggered my heat. I- I don’t, I don’t like them! What made you assu that I do?" I was breathing hard when I finished speaking and Hugo huffed a little while still staring at , then he exhaled slowly as he regarded .
"I guess I was wrong to co to conclusions without asking you first. Sounds like the Princes really took advantage of you and also treated you very horribly." He murmured and I sighed as I pushed my hair out of my face, feeling hurt slowly co over . It was just starting to fully dawn on that the Prince really tried to kill . How the fuck did they really try to do that? I was fully aware that they owed morning. Not loyalty, not respect, yet it still felt like I was betrayed and stabbed in the back by them right now.
So does this ans they were probably celebrating by fucking Lyla together? Or, were they doing sothing else like desperately searching for just so they could finish off and kill Hugo as well? Anger filled my insides as that thought crossed my mind.
Those fucking bastards... I have them so damn much that it made my blood boil right now from just thinking about it.
"But it’s fine, at least now you’re with . You’re safe here and I’ll always protect you. If they almost find you, I’ll take you and flee to sowhere else as well." He explained and I frowned as I blinked down at him.
"Isn’t that too stressful for you? And why are you even helping ?" I asked after a few seconds, a frown on my face as I stared at him.
He humd, his hand running through his hair ax he shrugged a little. "Well, as you already undoubtedly know, I’m very much into you." He stated and I felt a little tug in my chest from that word and that was it. I sighed again as I waited for him to continue, but it seed like he was done speaking.
"That’s all? No other reason?"
He frowned. "Do I need to have another reason?" He asked and I sighed as I shook my head.
"I— it just sounds weird though. You hiding away ans you’re also going against the old king and that’s just illogical to , and that’s also not enough reason for you to betray your family for , simply because you like ," I breathed out, the frown still on my face as I spoke. I watched as a friend settled on his face as well as it seed like he was thinking about what I just said, then he rolled his eyes and shrugged a little.
"But to , liking you is enough, and why wouldn’t it be? I really like you, you know. And it’s more than a re, passing attraction."
My eyes widened and I felt my eyed widened a little.
"Oh."
"Yeah." He echoed, a small grin tugging at his lips and I glanced away while feeling my face start to redden.
"That’s still insane to think about. This ans you can’t return back to your pack because of . I- I don’t like that, it makes feel more guilty.
This ti, Hugo huffed before he got off and sank into the spot beside Mr on the couch.
"Don’t worry your pretty head off over irrelevant stuff like that, okay? What’s the point of still being in that pack and still being on good terms with all of them, when I don’t have the woman I really desire?" He asked quietly and I swallowed again as I glanced over.
I turned his words around the insides of my head, my mind reeling. He was full on admitting that he liked , and it was way more serious than I ever could have guessed. As I blinked at him, it slowly hit that what if now that he rescued , he automatically expected us to get together romantically...
