The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 232: In Their Arms

Scarlett’s POV

​"I’ve been suspecting your wives, too," I said softly.

​The moment the words left my mouth, the air in the room completely shifted. The submissive, pleading look in the triplets’ eyes vanished, replaced instantly by a raw, terrifying, feral fury. The temperature in the room seemed to drop below freezing.

​"If it’s them," Leo snarled, his voice dropping into a guttural, demonic register that vibrated right through the floorboards, "if either Camila, Talia, or Bianca had anything to do with this... I swear on my wolf’s blood, we will send their dead bodies back to their parents in pieces."

​"They won’t survive the night," Liam added, his green eyes flashing violently as his claws partially extended, digging straight into his own knees.

​I looked at the rich food spread out on the silver trays, but a sudden wave of exhaustion and heavy dread washed over me. I sighed softly, pushing Leo’s hand away as he tried to offer me another piece of potato. I just wasn’t feeling hungry anymore.

​They noticed the shift in my energy instantly. The terrifying Alphas immediately melted back into anxious, devoted mates.

​Leonard leaned his head closer against the edge of the mattress, his brown eyes swimming with a desperate, painful pleading. "Scar, please... in less than a month, the marriages will be completely over. The elders are already processing the termination clauses because we found you. Please be patient with us. We will handle them, I promise."

​I sighed again, rubbing my temples as my eyes grew heavy. The adrenaline from the attack, the poison, and the emotional roller coaster were finally catching up to me. "I’m just really feeling sleepy," I muttered, pulling the duvet tighter around my shoulders. "You can all leave."

​But none of them moved. They stayed glued to the floor, staring up at me like three large, stranded puppies.

​I frowned at them, crossing my arms. "What? I said go."

​Leo swallowed hard, looking through his dark lashes with a mixture of sheer desperation and agonizing restraint. "Can we... can we please sleep with you tonight, Scar? Just sleep. We won’t touch you if you don’t want us to, but our wolves are thrashing. We need to smell you to know you’re safe."

​"No," I said flatly, rolling my eyes at them.

​Inside, my body was practically screaming for them to stay, but I wanted to see how far their new obedience went. The triplets’ shoulders visibly slumped. They actually thought I was being completely serious and didn’t want to pressure me. Slowly, with heavy chests and defeated expressions, they began to push themselves up from the floor, ready to walk out the door and leave me alone.
