What are you?

Emily's POV. I crouched low, my hackles raised as I faced the imposter wearing Leo's face. Every instinct screamed at me to run, to find my real mates and get as far away from here as possible. But I knew I couldn't do that. Whatever was going on, whatever had happened to the triplets, I had to face it head-on. "Emily, please. You're confused. Let me help you." A snarl ripped from my throat. "Stay back," I growled, baring my teeth. " Where are my mates? What have you done with them?" "There's no need for all this hostility. We can work this out like civilized beings, can't we?",he said, holding up his hands in a placating gesture. I glanced around wildly, searching for any sign of the others. But the clearing was empty save for me and the imposter. Even Alpha James was nowhere to be seen. Had that been another trick? Another illusion to lull us into a false sense of security? "What do you want?" I demanded, trying to keep the fear from my voice. "Why are you doing this?" Not-Leo's lips
