The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 126: The Agreement

Leo’s POV

​"I would rather die than be tied to you forever," I snapped, the words sharp with pure hatred.

The anger in my voice made her jump. "The Wolfsbane will put our wolves to sleep. They won’t be able to claim you. The bite will just be a hickey. No magic. No link. No soul connection."

​"And the pack?" Camilla asked. "They will want to smell the bond. Everyone knows an Alpha’s mark carries a distinct scent."

​"The ink has a very strong smell," I explained, already calculating my plan. "When it reacts with the air, it mimics the scent of a fresh bond. It will be strong enough to fool our fathers and the people. By the time the smell goes away, the wedding will be over."

​Liam stood up from the couch and nodded. "Good job, Leo..."

​I looked at the sisters, my eyes full of hate. "This is the deal. You take the fake mark. You tell your father the bond is real. You take your titles and be our Lunas only in title. But if you ever try to take those patches off or mess with our poison... if you try to expose our plan to anyone, the deal is over. And I will personally throw you back to your father’s land in pieces."

​"Fine," she said. "We agree. We will act like happy brides and mates. Just make sure your plan doesn’t kill you before we say ’I do,’ Leo. It It would be unfortunate to become a widow so quickly."

​I didn’t say anything. I just walked to the door and unlocked it.

​"Get out," I ordered. "Tell our fathers the ’good news.’ Tell them we changed our minds."

​They smiled and made their way to leave.
