Claim your fate

chapter 22

"Hyunjin," he called, stepping over a thick root. "Where are you?" His voice echoed through the woods, so hopefully, Hyunjin would hear him and take him back to the cabin. "You said I would never be alone in this pregnancy. Well, guess what? I'm pregnant and alone."

A limb snapped behind him and he froze. And then—

"Oh, no you're not."

Immediately, Felix sent waves of panic and fear through the bond, hoping that Hyunjin would understand that he was in danger. He could feel his heart rate spike and his stomach drop. He knew just by the tone of the voice that it was an alpha—a dangerous one. He was in a scary situation and he was pregnant. This was not good.

"Are you going to turn around, princess?" the alpha behind him asked in a sickeningly sweet voice. Felix's back went rigid and he shook his head slowly. The alpha clicked his tongue. "Now, now, let's cooperate, okay?"

Again, Felix shook his head and kept his eyes trained in front of him, darting them around, trying to catch a glimpse of Hyunjin. The ground below him was frozen with pre-winter, so running wouldn't be an option, and the air around him was chilling him to the bones. His body started shaking and he pleaded to Hyunjin through the bond. He needed his alpha, and he needed him now.

"I can hear your heart rate, little one. Are you scared?"

Felix's breath hitched when he felt the alpha move directly behind him. He nodded shakily. "I think... I'm going to go home now," he said quietly, taking a step forward.

The alpha laughed and gripped Felix's shoulder. "You're not going home, darling. At least, not this home."

Felix closed his eyes and tried not to cry. Where was Hyunjin? "What do you mean?"

The alpha stepped closer, close enough that Felix could smell his strong scent. It made him recoil. "You're coming with me to your new home, lovely."

Felix shook his head frantically and opened his mouth to speak, but the alpha squeezed his shoulder in a warning. Felix winced and cringed away. He wanted Hyunjin here. Hyunjin would protect him.

"My alpha will be here any moment," Felix whispered. He tried to make it sound convincing, but even he didn't believe it. He knew that Hyunjin could feel what he was sending through the bond. He knew that Hyunjin was feeling it too, but why wasn't he coming to help him? Had Hyunjin really given up on him?

"We both know that's not true," the alpha said, finally stepping in front of Felix. He was taller than Felix, of course, because every alpha was taller than omegas. He was broader too, making it seem like Felix was standing in front of a wall. "Your alpha isn't coming here because he's a little... tied up at the moment."

Felix lifted his eyes and gasped. They had Hyunjin? That's why he wasn't coming to save Felix. "What are you talking about? You have Hyunjin?"

The alpha nodded. He looked a little like Changbin, which shocked him. "That's right. And if you come with me, we won't kill him."

Felix swallowed hard. They had his Hyunjin and they were going to kill him. He had to go with the alpha now. He didn't want the father of his baby to die because he refused to go with some scary alpha. So, with one last look around the trees around him, he nodded his head.

The second he stepped out of the large, boxy vehicle, he knew that he had made a mistake. Hyunjin wasn't here. He could tell by the look of several alphas standing around, leering at him. He covered his belly protectively and tried to turn back to the vehicle. A large hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Tut tut, little one." The alpha from the woods said. "Not so fast."

Felix elbowed him away, not wanting to be touched by any other alpha but Hyunjin. "I want to go home."
