<h4>Chapter 693: Who?</h4>


    Olivia’s POV


    ?The prisoner was trembling now, the threat of me finding his daughter having broken thest of his iron will. He looked up at us, his eyes wet with tears and blood.


    ?"Start talking," Imanded, my voice cold and sharp. "Who sent you?"


    ?The man swallowed hard, a rattling sound in his throat. "The leader... the Rogue King. He sent us for revenge. He wanted the heads of the Trinity because of what you did to his mate."


    ?I frowned, looking back at my husbands. "His mate?"


    ?Lennox stepped forward, his shadow swallowing the prisoner. "We haven’t killed a high-ranking rogue female in years. Who are you talking about?"


    ?"The one you beheaded," the man whispered. "Four years ago. Annabe."


    ?The name hit the room like a physical blow.


    ?"Annabe?" Lennox growled, his eyes shing with rage. "She was the only one. She was a traitor to the pack. We executed her for trying to kill Olivia and shooting Levi."


    ?The prisoner let out a weak, bitterugh. "You thought she was just a jealous girl, didn’t you? You never knew. Annabe was the mate of our King. The n was simple from the start. She was supposed to lure you in, Alpha Lennox. She was supposed to make you date her, get close to you, and then kill you and your brothers from the inside."


    ?I felt a chill run down my spine. We had always thought Annabe was just a woman who had gone crazy with obsession.


    ?"But she failed," the rogue continued. "She actually fell in love with you, Lennox. She couldn’t do it. Our leader called her back, furious, and gave her onest task: kill the woman who had stolen your heart. Kill Olivia. He told her that once the Luna was dead, the Trinity would be weak and easy to destroy."


    ?I remembered that day. The silver sh of the gun. The way Levi had stepped in front of the bullet for me. I remembered the cold look on Annabe’s face before the axe fell.


    ?"She missed," the rogue coughed. "She shot the wrong brother and then she died. Our King has been waiting for four years to make you pay. This wedding was his chance to take back the blood you owe him."


    ?I was shocked. When we interrogated Annabe before her death, she had cried and screamed that she did it because she loved Lennox. She said she wanted me gone so she could have him. We never knew there was a Rogue King pulling her strings from the shadows.


    ?Lennox’s hands were clenched into fists so tight his knuckles were white. But his face was full of a new, darker question.


    ?"The tunnels," Lennox barked, grabbing the man by his shirt and lifting him half out of the chair. "Annabe didn’t know about the southern tunnels. They were sealed before she was even born. Who told you how to get in?"


    ?The man went silent. He looked at the floor, his body shaking. He looked like he was more afraid of the answer than he was of us.


    ?"Tell me!" Lennox roared, his Alpha voice shaking the very walls of the cell.


    ?"Your father..." the man whispered, his voice breaking. "We found your father. He’s with the King. He’s the one who told us everything."


    ?The silence that followed was deafening. Lennox let go of the man’s shirt, stepping back as if he had been burned. Levi and Louis looked like they had seen a ghost.


    ?"My father is dead," Lennox said, his voice a low, hollow growl. "I stripped him of his wolf, threw him out of this pack years ago. He was a monster, and he died in the wilderness."


    ?"He didn’t die," the rogue sobbed. "The King found him. He was broken and starving, hiding in the mountains. He wanted revenge on the sons who betrayed him. He gave the King the maps. He told us exactly where the guards wouldn’t be looking. He’s the one who knew the old ways into the mansion. He’s the one who mapped out the tunnels for us."


    ?I looked at Lennox. His face was a mask of pure horror and fury. Levi and Louis looked just as stunned. Their own father had sold them out. He had sent killers to their wedding to murder their wife and their unborn child.


    ?"Where is he?" Levi stepped forward, his eyes shing with rage. "Where is the Rogue King hiding him?"


    ?"The Dark Forest," the man gasped. "There is a camp near the ck River. They are gathering more men. This was just the beginning. The King... he doesn’t just want the Trinity dead. He wants to watch the pack burn so he can build his own kingdom on the ashes."


    ?I reached out and grabbed Lennox’s arm. His muscles were like granite under my touch. Through our bond, I could feel his world shattering. The man who raised him—the man who had already caused so much pain—was back to finish the job.


    ?"Lennox," I whispered, trying to pull him back to me. "Lennox, look at me."


    ?He didn’t look at me. He was staring at the rogue, but he wasn’t seeing him. He was seeing the face of his father.


    ?"Louis, get the guards," Lennox said, his voice eerily calm. "Double the patrols on the ck River. Levi, get the armory ready. If he’s alive, I’m going to be the one to put him in the ground this time. For good."


    ?"Wait," I said, stepping between them. "We can’t just rush out there. It’s a trap. If your father knows the tunnels, he knows our tactics. He knows how we think."


    ?"We are going to prove him wrong."


    ?I looked at my three husbands. The wedding glow waspletely gone. In its ce was a cold, hard hunger for war. We were finally married, but our honeymoon was going to be fought in the dirt and blood of the Dark Forest.


    ?"We do this together," I said, my voice hardening. "If we are family, we fight like one."


    ?Lennox finally looked at me. He reached out, hisrge hand cupping the side of my face. His thumb brushed over my cheekbone, and for a second, I saw the man I loved instead of the Alpha.


    ?"As you wish," he said.
