The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 225: Accused

​Scarlett’s POV

​"I know it was you!" Liam’s voice boomed through the sitting room, vibrating with a dark, terrifying power. His chest was heaving as he stared down at Ma’am Olivia. "You are the one who wants Scarlett dead! You are the one sending assassins after her!"

​Before Ma’am Olivia could even choke out a reply, a blur of motion cut through the room.

​Out of nowhere, Sir Lennox stormed out from a corner and pushed Liam completely away from his wife. He grabbed his own son by the collar of his shirt, his eyes flashing with terrifying anger. "How dare you lay your hands on your mother in such a way?!"

​I watched them from Leonard’s arms, completely stunned. It was crazy to see, honestly. Just like how Liam was ready to kill because someone wanted me dead, Sir Lennox was in the exact same state of mindless rage because another man had dared to touch his mate.

​An Alpha’s instincts are a beautiful thing when they are protecting you, but when it’s a father and son turning on each other, it’s just terrifying.

​Liam didn’t back down. He ripped his collar out of his father’s grip. "You and your wife need to stop sending assassins to kill Scarlett!"

​Sir Lennox pushed him away again, looking at him with deep pain. "Yes, we want to save your lives! We don’t want the prophecy to come to pass! But myself, my brothers, and your mother would never think of harming Scarlett. Is this really how you boys see us? Has it actually come to this?"

​Ma’am Olivia was just sobbing silently in the background.

​I mean, can you blame her for breaking down? To have your own flesh and blood look at you with so much hatred and accuse you of trying to murder his mate has to be the worst feeling in the world.
