The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

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.

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

​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?"
