The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 138: Questioning Her

​Leon’s POV

​Two days had passed since the explosion in Leo’s room, and the air in the Full Moon Pack had become toxic. We had spent every waking second of those forty-eight hours playing a dangerous game. We spent our nights tearing through our fathers’ offices, turning over every rug and picking every lock, but we found nothing. Not a single file. Not a single letter. It was as if someone who knew we would look into it had scrubbed the history clean with bleach.

​Jameson and Jane were too far away in San Francisco to be of any help, and honestly, they were still kids—our fathers wouldn’t have trusted them with a secret this heavy. That left only one person.

​Lana.

​We couldn’t summon her to us without our fathers growing suspicious, so we took matters into our own hands. We told the pack we were heading out for a "territory inspection" and boarded the private jet. Two hours later, we touched down in Germany.

​The cold, crisp air of the Black Forest hit me as we stepped off the plane. Alpha Ryan, Lana’s mate, had already sent a fleet of black SUVs to meet us. We were driven straight to the Silver Moon Packhouse, a fortress of glass and stone that looked far more peaceful than the prison we called home.

​Ryan was waiting for us at the entrance. "The Triple Alphas," he said, offering a respectful nod. "I wasn’t expecting a visit so soon after the anniversary, but you’re always welcome."

​"We wanted to surprise our sister," Liam said, though his voice was tight.

​"She’s in her rooms," Ryan started, but he didn’t even get to finish.

​The heavy oak doors burst open, and Lana came flying out. Being a werewolf had its disadvantages when it came to surprises; she had probably scented us the moment we crossed the border. Even though she’d been a married woman for almost a year, she threw herself at us like an excited little girl, her laughter echoing against the stone walls.
