Chapter 31: Sent Her Away

Each of the triplets sat frozen, their faces pale as they desperately tried to mask their agony from the rest of the pack. They didn’t realize they were all feeling the same scream in their souls. To the crowd, they simply looked tired from the day’s long memorial.

​Liam was the first to find his voice. His throat felt as though it were filled with broken glass. "Father," he rasped, looking at Levi. "Where is Scarlett? Truly."

​Lennox spoke up before Levi could answer. "Your father already told you, Liam. He sent her out. Let it go."

​But the silence was broken by a panicked set of footsteps. Lana rushed toward the head table, her face white and her breathing heavy. She didn’t care about the hundreds of eyes watching her.

​"Father! Father, her room is empty!" Lana cried out, her voice trembling. "I went to check on her, but her clothes are gone. Everything is gone!"

​Leo stood up so fast his chair flipped over, the wood splintering against the stone. He ignored the pain in his chest and turned on his father. "What did you do? What did you do to her?"

​Lennox sighed, the weight of the secret finally becoming too heavy to carry. He looked at his sons—at the desperation and the hidden bond in their eyes.

​"She is gone," Lennox said, his voice deep and final. "We sent her away."

​The triplets gasped in unison, the sound swallowed by the sudden murmurs of the crowd.

​"No..." Leon whispered, his heart dropping into his stomach. "Where? Where did you send her?"
