The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 96: Sharing

Third person’s POV

​After the last of Scarlett’s damp clothes were discarded, she lay pale and flushed against the sheets, her body vibrating with the force of the fever.

​Leon growled inwardly, a low, guttural sound that vibrated in his chest. His eyes traveled over her—the curve of her waist, the flush across her ribs, and her nipples, hardened from the cold sweat and the intensity of the fever. It was a sight that should have been sacred, but seeing his brothers gawking at her—at his mate—made his blood boil. He felt a sharp spike of irritation, his wolf snapping at the boundary of his self-control.

​Leo didn’t wait for permission. He moved onto the mattress, his naked skin coming into full contact with hers. The moment their bodies met, Scarlett let out a broken, needy moan that echoed through the silent room.

​Liam and Leon stood frozen, naked. Each of them felt a violent urge to tear Leo away, the word Mine screaming in their minds. To them, Leo was an intruder, a brother overstepping a boundary he didn’t even know existed.

​Suddenly, Scarlett’s eyes snapped open.

​They weren’t the eyes of the girl they knew. They were glazed, glowing with a feverish, golden light that spoke of an ancient power—and a desperate, mating hunger. Before Leo could speak, she surged upward, her hands tangling in his hair as she crashed her lips against his.

​Liam and Leon moved instinctively, their hands reaching out to separate them, their faces twisted in a possessive fury. But as they pulled Leo back, Scarlett let out a frustrated cry. Her hand shot out, grabbing the front of Liam’s neck and pulling him down into the space Leo had just vacated. She kissed him with a frantic, starving intensity that left Liam breathless, his wolf purring in a way that felt like a victory.
