The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 72: In My Bed

Scarlett’s POV

​"Who is there?" Liam growled. His tone sounded deep and annoyed.

He didn’t move from the bed; he just sat there with his head down, his golden eyes still glowing.

​"Alpha Liam? It’s Camila," her voice came through the thick wood of the door. "I just wanted to check on you. I saw you were hurt during the fight. Are you okay?"

​Liam let out a low groan. It sounded as though he were in physical pain from stopping. The hot fog in my brain cleared instantly; it was as if someone had thrown a bucket of ice water over me. I scrambled away from him, falling flat on my back on the mattress to put some distance between us.

​"Get away from my door, Camila." Liam shouted. His voice was rough and frustrated.

​"I just want to see if you are okay," she said again. She sounded like she wasn’t going to move until the door opened. "The pack is worried. We all are."

​"Fuck off!" Liam roared. The sound was so loud it made the windows rattle in their frames.

​The hallway went silent. Finally, I heard the sound of her heels clicking away on the stone floor. She was gone.

​I didn’t wait. I rolled off the bed, my legs feeling like jelly. I needed to get out of this room before the wolf took over again. But as I reached for my dress on the floor, Liam’s hand shot out. He grabbed my wrist, pulling me back toward the heat of his body.

​"No," I snapped. I shoved him away with everything I had. My mind was sharp now; the hunger was gone. All I felt was a cold, hard knot in my chest.
