Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers-Chapter 304: False

*~Leon’s POV~*

We had been walking for hours maybe the whole damn day through the thick, endless forest. My legs burned, my head pounded, and honestly, I was two seconds away from losing it.

Gabrielle led the way, moving with eerie confidence even though her eyes were clouded. Caspian trudged beside me, looking like he was ready to drop dead any moment.

I dragged a hand through my hair and groaned. "When is this going to end? When are we finally going to see Aurora?"

Caspian shot me a glare. "It’s rough, Leon. If we keep going like this, I won’t have any strength left to fight those damn demons. I’m already exhausted."

Alice spun around on us sharply. "Both of you, shut it. Calm down. We need to get there, and complaining is not helping. And look at the person leading us—she’s blind. Blind, Leon. And she hasn’t said a word."

I winced. "Ouch, Alice... that’s savage. Gabrielle might be blind, but she sees more than any of us."

Gabrielle didn’t react. She kept walking like she was following invisible threads the rest of us couldn’t sense.

After a while, I frowned, scanning the trees. "Why does it feel like we’ve been walking in circles? This place looks exactly the same as it did an hour ago."

Alice sighed. "Leon, calm down. You’re acting like a" And then she stopped mid-sentence.

All of us did.

A carriage was coming toward us.

Not just any carriage—the carriage. I felt it before I fully saw it. A pull in my chest. My wolf surged violently, pacing, snarling, frantic.

Gabrielle lifted her hand, her expression changing. She stepped forward, pressing her palm toward the carriage like she was sensing the air around it.

"This," she whispered, "is where Aurora and her baby are."

My entire world snapped into focus.

Caspian and Alice stiffened beside me, breath catching, hope flaring. Alice’s eyes even watered a little before she grinned wildly.

"I knew it," she breathed. "I knew you could find her."

Alice moved first—ready to sprint straight at the carriage but Caspian grabbed her arm. At the same moment he yanked me back, too, because I was already three seconds away from tearing the doors off myself.

"Are you insane?" I snarled, ripping my arm from his grip. "Aurora is right there! Right there, Caspian! We trekked all day for this. You expect us to just stand still?!"

"No," he hissed. "We need to listen to Gabrielle first."

Gabrielle finally spoke, her voice low and tight. "There is a powerful figure with her. You cannot rush in. If you make one wrong move one slight mistake, he will use her pregnancy against you. He knows your weakness."

I froze.

My heartbeat stopped. That powerful figure... it could only be him.

Darius.

That monster. That demon. That thing still breathing the same air as my Aurora—still touching her, still keeping her captive, still somewhere inside that carriage with her—

My vision blurred red.

My wolf threw itself at the walls of my body, howling, clawing, ready to kill.

There was no universe, no timeline—no reality where I let Darius keep her for even another minute.

Here you go, Areez — rewritten smooth, intense, cinematic, and clean, keeping your exact emotional rhythm but upgrading clarity, pacing, dialogue, and tension. This version keeps your fire and your chaos, just sharpened into chef’s kiss storytelling.

Leon’s POV — Continuation

Alice straightened, her eyes narrowing as she glanced at all of us. "We must play this smart," she whispered. "If we want to win, we move with our brains, not our rage. Every step has to be precise."

We all nodded.

Gabrielle lifted her hand again, her fingers trembling with power, and then she walked straight out of the bushes and onto the dirt road. The three of us stayed crouched low, hidden between leaves and branches, breath tight in our throats.

She stopped directly in front of the moving carriage.

And—impossibly—the carriage halted. Instantly. As if the horse, the wheels, even the shadows obeyed her command.

How could a blind girl hold that much aura? That much raw force? My skin crawled.

"Get down from the carriage," she said calmly.

I wasn’t sure the people inside even heard her—until the door swung open.

The sky darkened, shadows swelling, and a tall white‑haired figure stepped out.

Those icy blue eyes flashed like a blade.

My instincts screamed, and my suspicions locked into place.

Darius.

Blood‑fucking‑Darius.

My vision went red. My entire body snapped, ready to pounce, ready to rip him apart for what he had done to my Aurora—but Caspian grabbed me, holding me down with every ounce of strength he had.

If not for him, that bastard would already be in pieces.

"Wait," Gabrielle murmured.

"Wait," Alice echoed.

Gabrielle stood alone before Darius, small but unmoving.

"Who are you?" Darius asked, his cold voice sending a shiver through even me. Caspian stiffened beside me. Alice swallowed hard.

Gabrielle tilted her head. "That’s not the question you should be asking. I should be asking you."

Her voice sharpened. "Where is Aurora?"

Darius smirked. "Little child... are you lost? Are your parents nearby?" He looked around the trees, scanning the bushes, searching. We immediately lowered our heads deeper into the shadows.

"You seem lost," he repeated, turning back toward the carriage. "Run home."

Gabrielle stomped her foot. Hard. "I said—where is Aurora?"

Darius’s eyes narrowed. "Maybe you’re not as little as you look."

"Oh, you know nothing about me," Gabrielle replied coolly. "But listen carefully: if you think you’re leaving with Aurora in that carriage, you are painfully mistaken. Either you leave her here... or what comes next is something I would rather not do. I am not a fan of violence."

Caspian whispered beside me, "Damn. She’s savage."

I nodded. "Good for a little girl."

Darius crouched down to her height. "Last warning. Go home to your parents. I am a demon." His eyes glowed with lethal promise. "I could eat you for dinner. But that would go against my wife’s morals."

Wife.

The word sliced through me.

My throat tightened. I looked at Caspian. He looked at me.

His wife—

He meant Aurora.

Before I could explode, Darius turned away, reaching for the carriage door again—

Gabrielle raised her hand.

Darius froze mid‑step.

Then—he dropped to his knees. Blood dripped from his nose, dark against his pale skin.

My heart raced.

He stood back up slowly as if pushing through invisible force. Gabrielle’s power flickered, strained, and she staggered back.

His voice dropped lower. "You must be very brave to challenge me alone."

Caspian stood up.

"She’s not alone."

Then he stepped into the open.

Alice rose beside him.

And I stepped out right after.

Darius’s eyes widened, smoke curling subtly off his skin as his power flared.

"Oh," he said, a wicked smile twisting across his lips. "So you brought them too."

His eyes locked on me.

"Interesting."
