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."
