The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 48: My Mate!

Leon’s POV

​I walked into Liam’s room to find him pacing like a caged beast. The air was thick with rage. Leo was by the window, staring out at nothing, his hands trembling at his sides. My wolf was howling inside me, clawing at my ribs for the chance to tear into something, but I had to hold him down. I had to stay calm.

​"We are not letting that happen," Liam growled, his voice echoing off the walls. "I don’t care what Scarlett says. I don’t care if she thinks she wants this. We are stopping it."

​I couldn’t say a damn word. The weight of the secret I was carrying felt like a physical pressure in my chest. I just sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers digging into the silk sheets.

​"She is not herself," Leo said softly, though his voice lacked any real conviction. "She will regret this. We have to stop this, Leon. Say something!"

​I still didn’t speak. I was too busy trying to keep my own scent from betraying me. Liam kicked a stool, the wood splintering against the floor. He looked so frustrated, so utterly destroyed by the news that it made me curious for a moment. A dark, possessive spark lit up in my gut. Scarlett was my mate. She belonged to me. Me alone.

​"So you still have feelings for her?" I asked, my voice filled with a possessive anger. The anger was bubbling up now. I wanted to scream at him to stay away from what was mine.

​Liam spat on the floor, his eyes flashing with rage for a split second. "Don’t be a fool! I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I’ll let her make a decision she would regret. She’s a member of this pack."

​I frowned, my eyes narrowing as I watched him pace. "Let’s hope you’re telling the truth, Liam."
