Chapter 205: Lies

​Scarlett’s POV

​It had been two days since I returned to the Full Moon Pack, and I had chosen to stay completely indoors. The triplets would each take turns coming to my door, trying to talk to me. Every single time, I sent them away. Respectfully, they obeyed. Not once did any of them try to force their way in.

​But today, the sun was high in the sky. Despite the air conditioner humming gently in my room, I felt absolutely suffocated. I couldn’t stand being trapped inside the four corners of my room for another second.

Now that the truth was out—now that everyone knew my parents weren’t cold-blooded murderers but had been part of a hidden plan—the pack members looked at me differently. Their eyes held a mix of guilt, respect, and deep curiosity.

​As I approached the back doors, the sounds of heavy grunts and clashing weapons echoed from the training yard. Out of pure curiosity, I decided to go check out the warriors. Goddess, how I missed training.

​Walking over to the edge of the field, I saw hundreds of warriors sweating and sparring. But my eyes immediately fell on Leo.

​Standing right before him was Bianca, his wife.
