Semua Bab The Alpha's Triplets With a Rejected Mate: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Philip's POVWhat she proposed seemed like a good idea; bringing them in, giving them the one thing they desperately needed. The only problem was that I wanted them nowhere near me or my people. They were barbaric, had no loyalty, had the ability to switch up as fast as light, and even though they would love the food, they were not going to settle for it.Sure, it was a great idea when you're looking at it from afar, but these people would want something more. They would ask for more since we're proposing a deal to avoid war. They had a peanut-sized brain and would think the reason we're avoiding war is generally that we're scared, and they wouldn't even ask themselves if there may be other reasons.However, Lyra shook her head, "they are not going to move in with us, what are you thinking? If they move in, pretty soon they'll be thinking that this place belongs to them; you were the one who said they were barbaric."I nodded my head, seeing as she was on the same page with me about t

Philip's POVSuddenly, everything grew quiet, save for the crickets chirping, the wind in between the leaves of the trees, and the croaking of the frog.My betas walked like ghosts, not one twig breaking upon receiving the heaviness of their steps. They walked like predators, exactly how I have taught them. And under the leadership of Matt, they surrounded the hut in inconspicuous areas.It was left for me.I walked to the door and placed a knock there. Matt was standing against the wall right beside the door. If the person opened the door, they wouldn't be able to see him; he blended perfectly with the night, looking like a shadow rather than a person.His eyes were fixated on me, but I knew his attention wasn't. He was more focused on trying to overhear any form of conversation inside the house, listening for footsteps and heartbeats as faint as possible.This was important because we had no idea if he had any other person in the house; probably, the person who had kidnapped the bab

Philip's POV"My job is to take the babies from you. Someone else is coming with your children." The voice was automated. Straight from a machine, it could be somewhere tucked within the hoodie he wore.Eunice was hesitant; she looked down at the babies before she stretched out her hand to him to hand over the children.It was this time I knew I had to act.I immediately ran in between them and dexterously took the babies from her.On seeing me, all the blood drained from Eunice's face; she immediately fell to the ground, her mouth exuding the sounds of shock and fear mixed together.Meanwhile, her partner stood there staring at me. He didn't seem to be afraid of me, which was new to me. He seemed stubborn, relentless, as his stance appeared to be steady, more than it was before.He wanted to fight with me.Normally, I would not hesitate to take him head-on in battle, but somehow, I was instantly reminded of Lyra's words, of Tessa's own, and of course, Matt's consistent advice against

Philip's POVHer laughter filled the dining room, even some servants had to stop to stare at her, wondering the reason why she was laughing so hard.Her people joined her, of course. As long as their leader was insane, they had to follow suit. What else is loyalty except communal insanity?The same abrupt way her laughter started, it ended too.She looked at me with a gaze of skepticism and distrust. Her eyes raked my body. She was older than me, and I could spot the jealousy in her gaze. She had her ego wounded, and it was too palpable. She was being offered a house and food by a man even younger than her son.What else was the definition of failure?"So you are granting me a house and food and a farm because you killed my son, but you also believe that your actions had been just," she said, "if so, then why are you bribing me?""Bribing you?" I chuckled, "I'm sure you know that if I don't offer you something, you will probably let your rage loose in my mansion, and I cannot see my f

Philip's POVI realized that I hadn't talked to her about the other thing that brought me here. Her thumb was still busy caressing my hand as the silence poured between us.It was a perfect atmosphere, and everything seemed tranquil."Eunice had been the one who took the babies."I recalled that she didn't get the whole gist from me about what happened and how I came to find out everything. Although Tessa could've told her, but knowing Lyra, she would want to hear it from me than to hear it from someone else.And just like I thought, her eyes lifted up to my face as she paid so much attention to me as I began to tell her all that had happened."So basically, Matt had found the footprints on the ground after I had him set up some men on the secret and illegal path out of this town. He found the tracks, and then he called me that night; we followed them and met a man. He was known for illegally bringing people into this town.""Illegally?" She asked, "can't they just move in?"I shook m
