Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Lucian, Control Your Wolf

Their attention was elsewhere. It was subtle, so subtle that only the most perceptive observers would notice it, but there was a distraction in their bearing. Lucian especially seemed pulled in a direction that wasn’t toward the gathered alphas. His eyes kept flickering gold. His jaw was clenched so tightly it looked like his teeth might crack.

Rhen was showing through Sebastian’s eyes more often than was typical. His composure seemed thin, like it was taking significant effort to maintain.

And Nicholas, despite his impeccable control, had a tightness to his frame that suggested he was holding himself together through sheer force of will.

In the eastern section of the compound, in the work areas where the omegas were completing final preparations, Lilith was arranging linens in one of the storage closets.

Then the world stopped.

It wasn’t a dream. She wasn’t asleep. She was simply standing in a storage closet with a stack of linens in her arms when something hit her with the force of a physical blow.

A connection. A presence. A pull so intense it knocked the breath completely out of her lungs.

Lilith gasped, her hands losing their grip on the linens. The fabric fell to the floor as she staggered backward, her body responding to something her mind didn’t understand.

Gold eyes flashed across her consciousness. Then silver. Then dark eyes like obsidian.

Her chest was heaving. Her skin was flushed. Her entire body was responding to a presence that was suddenly very close. Not touching. Not visible. But close enough that every cell in her being was screaming recognition.

The pull lasted for five minutes. Five solid minutes where she couldn’t breathe properly, couldn’t think clearly, couldn’t do anything except stand there and experience the intensity of the connection.

Then it faded slightly, settling into a constant, low-level awareness rather than a crushing force.

Lilith sank to the floor, her back against the shelving unit, trying to understand what had just happened.

Emma found her moments later.

"Lilith!" Emma rushed into the storage closet, her kind eyes filling with concern. "What’s wrong? Are you okay? You look like you’re going to pass out."

Lilith looked up at her, unable to form words. What could she say? That she’d just felt something impossible? That three men who’d held her captive for sisteen days had somehow just arrived at her pack compound and she’d felt their presence like a physical touch?

"I’m fine," Lilith managed, though her voice was shaky. "Just... dizzy for a moment. I think I need water."

Emma helped her to her feet, her concern obvious. "You’re working too hard. You need to slow down. The extra wages aren’t worth collapsing."

But Lilith barely heard her. Her mind was spinning. The pull was still there, constant and undeniable, like a rope tied around her heart.

Back in the main courtyard, Lucian’s control finally cracked.

He was standing among the gathered alphas, listening to the Nightfall alpha drone on about territorial protocols, when the awareness hit him like a physical punch.

Lilith.
