The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 241: Set Up

Scarlett’s POV

​We all marched into the large, private office. The air was thick with pure, choking, angry tension.

​Sir Lennox walked straight to the large desk. He didn’t sit, and he didn’t try to order them around. He knew his place—he was the former Alpha, but his sons were the reigning Alphas of this pack now. He couldn’t command them, but as a father, his heart was clearly breaking. He just glared at his three sons, his eyes heavy with worry.

​"Explain," Sir Lennox said, his voice rough. "What happened out there?"

​"Liam sold us out," Leo snapped immediately, his hands still clenched into tight fists. "The Shadow Pack had our exact movements, Dad. If we hadn’t flipped the script at the last second, the Full Moon vanguard would have been wiped out. The enemy knew everything."

​"Because it was a perfect setup," Leonard added, his voice low, steady, and dead serious. "We only shared that final plan with one person. Liam. Then we captured a high-ranking warrior, and he named our brother as the source. It is too clean to be a coincidence."

​"It’s a setup, alright, but I’m the one being set up!" Liam shouted, his face pale as he stepped forward. Blood was still tracking down his chin from his split lip. "Look at me. You guys know me. I would never sell out my pack. I would never try to kill my own blood! That warrior was lying to break us apart from the inside!"

​Honestly, watching Liam break down like this was tearing me in half. He looked so genuinely hurt and confused. But when I looked at Leo and Leonard, covered in dirt and dried blood, I knew they weren’t lying either. They had almost died.

​"Liam, where were you today?" Sir Lennox asked, stepping in before the brothers could tear each other apart. "Did you leave the packhouse at any point after your brothers marched?"
