The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 88: Cheer her up

Leo’s POV

​My heart felt heavy as I watched Scarlett walk away. Her head was held high, but I could see the truth in the small shake of her shoulders.

​I saw the whole thing. Elara wasn’t trying to win that fight—she was trying to ruin Scarlett’s face. Scarlett only defended herself, but now she was walking away alone, looking like the person who had done something wrong.

​I looked back at the center of the ring, and my blood turned to ice.

​Ethan was still on his knees. His hands were shaking as he reached for Elara. The healers were already there, using their powers to close her wounds. The deep cut Scarlett had made on Elara’s chest was already fading away. Soon, there would be nothing left but a tiny pink mark. She was fine. But Ethan was staring at her with so much worry—a look he had never once given Scarlett.

​"Elara, what were you doing?" Liam’s voice was loud and angry. He stepped toward them, his face dark with anger. "That wasn’t a fair fight. You were trying to hurt her face on purpose."

​Elara’s lips trembled. Tears began to fall down her cheeks as she looked up at Ethan, acting like a victim.

​"You were trying to scar her!" Leon roared. His Alpha anger made the air feel heavy. He stepped forward, his eyes glowing with rage as he looked down at Elara. "I saw it! We all saw it!"

​Elara let out a small sob and hid against Ethan’s chest.

​"That’s enough!" Ethan snapped. He stood up, putting his body between Leon and Elara to protect her. He didn’t even look at the blood Scarlett had left on the grass. He only cared about the girl in his arms. "It wasn’t her fault. It was just a fight. Things happen when people are angry."
