The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 195: Trapped Again

​Scarlett’s POV

​I was sleeping, trying to take an afternoon nap because I couldn’t sleep at all through the night, when suddenly, my wolf stood up in my mind, her voice screaming at me.

​Scarlett, wake up! The triplets are here. They are right outside the gates!

​My eyes flew open. My heart slammed against my ribs. I jumped out of the guest bed and ran out of the room, my bare feet slapping against the cold floor. I rushed down to the main living room.

​Chen was standing by the security monitor, his face dark and angry as he stared at the screen. He was talking into the intercom phone. Through the camera feed, I saw them. Liam, Leonard, and Leo were standing right outside the giant iron gates, looking tall, irritated, and furious.

​My head raced. They were actually here. In China. Less than 24 hours after my phone call.

​Chen turned around and looked at me, his eyes full of confusion. "Scarlett? Do you know them? They say they are here for you."

​I swallowed hard, my throat completely dry. I opened my mouth to answer, but before I could speak, a loud sound echoed through the mansion.

​Bang! Bang! Bang!

​I jumped, my hands flying to my ears. "What was that?!"

​Chen’s face turned totally white as he looked down at his security board. "Those aren’t my guards’ weapons... The gunshots are coming from inside the house!"

​Right then, a faint breeze passed through the room, and I caught it. That dark, metallic scent. My blood ran cold.

​"Chen, the assassins are here," I whispered, my voice shaking with pure panic. "They are inside."
