The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 114: Your Fault

​Liam stood over the blood-stained bag, his chest heaving as he stared at the warriors. His eyes were bloodshot, glowing with a dangerous, unstable anger.

​"Keep searching!" Liam roared, his voice echoing off the stone walls. "I don’t believe this! This isn’t her! She can’t be dead!"

​He turned his fury on the Head Warrior, grabbing him by the front of his shirt. "Go back out there! Comb every inch of that ravine! If you don’t find her—the real her—I’ll have your heads!"

​The warriors scrambled back, terrified of the Alpha’s rage. But deep down, Liam knew he was lying to himself. He could ignore the Seer’s words. He could pretend the bag of scattered flesh brought in by the patrol was a trick. But the bond... the bond couldn’t lie. The golden thread that had hummed in his soul was gone. There was only a cold, dark silence where Scarlett used to be. The silence was the loudest proof of all: his mate was no more.

​The heavy doors groaned open once more. Sir Lennox walked in, his face masked in false shock and grief. He looked at the chaos, the blood on the floor, and his three broken sons.

​"What am I hearing?" Lennox asked, his voice low and filled with fake confusion. "What has happened?"

​Liam, who had always been the strongest and most stoic of the three, broke. He was the closest to the door, and seeing his father—the one man he still looked up to—made the last of his strength vanish. He ran to Lennox like a little boy seeking shelter from a nightmare.

​Liam collapsed against his father, his fingers digging into Lennox’s expensive coat as he fell to his knees. "Father..." Liam sobbed, a sound so raw it made the warriors turn their heads away. "Father, Scarlett is gone. She’s gone!"

the warriors scrambled to follow, the heavy doors swung open again. Ethan walked in, his clothes damp and his face a mask of pale shock. The moment he stepped into the light of the hall, Leon snapped.
