The real maneuvering would start tomorrow.
As the hall began to clear, Lucian caught Lilith’s attention with a subtle gesture.
She excused herself from her duties and moved toward him, acutely aware that every movement was likely being observed.
"Go to my room," Lucian said quietly, his voice low enough that only she could hear. "Tidy it up. I want everything organized perfectly."
It was a simple instruction. A task. Nothing that should have sent electricity through her body.
But it did.
"Yes, Alpha," she said.
Lucian nodded, his gold eyes meeting hers for just a moment before he looked away.
Lilith turned and left the hall.
Behind her, Nicholas leaned toward Lucian and said something too quiet for her to hear.
As she made her way through the corridors toward the Blackwood quarters, Lilith’s mind was spinning.
Why had they requested her specifically all evening?
Why did Lucian nearly lose control when another omega got close to him?
Why did being near them make her body respond in ways that contradicted everything her mind was telling her to feel?
She didn’t have answers.
All she knew was that something was happening, Something had changed in the dynamic between her and the three alphas.
And as she climbed the stairs toward Lucian’s room, she couldn’t shake the feeling that seven days wouldn’t be nearly enough time for her to understand what was happening.
The Summit had officially begun.
And Lilith was at the center of whatever game was about to unfold.
***
*The Next Morning*
The breakfast tray was heavier than usual.
Lilith balanced it carefully as she made her way through the corridors toward the Blackwood quarters. The morning was still early, most of the compound was just beginning to wake up. The Summit’s second day was about to officially begin.
Her body was already responding to the anticipation of seeing them again.
She’d barely slept the night before. Every time she’d closed her eyes, she’d remembered the opening ceremony. The way they’d requested her specifically. The way Lucian’s eyes had gone gold when another omega got too close. The intensity radiating from all three of them despite their calm exteriors.
And then Lucian’s instruction to tidy his room.
She’d done it efficiently, trying not to notice the lingering scent of him in the space. Trying not to think about him naked in the shower, water running over his muscular body. Trying not to imagine things she had absolutely no business imagining.
She’d failed at all three.
