The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 2: Traitors

​"Lennox! Levi! Louis!" my father roared as the guards forced him to his knees. "Why are we in chains? What is the meaning of this?"

​Alpha Lennox stepped forward. He looked like a man on the brink of collapsing, but as an Alpha, he had to stay strong. "Last night, assassins broke into our chambers," he growled. "They slaughtered our Luna in her sleep. We killed two. The third we captured."
