Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Go to your room, Take a bath

The formal dinner continued.

But the energy of the hall had shifted irrevocably.

Conversations resumed, but they were quieter. More careful. Servers moved more carefully around the brothers’ table, understanding that even accidental proximity could be dangerous.

Everyone had witnessed the power play.

As the dinner progressed toward its conclusion, Sebastian turned slightly in his seat to look at Lilith.

His dark eyes met hers for just a moment, and then he spoke, his voice low enough that only she could hear, despite the ambient noise of the hall.

"Go to your room," he said, the command absolute and brooking no argument. "Take a bath."

It wasn’t a suggestion. It was an order. And the meaning beneath the words was unmistakable: wash off what Kieran left on your body. Remove his touch. Cleanse yourself of his claim.

"Yes, Alpha," Lilith said quietly, and she excused herself from her duties.

She made her way out of the dining hall, her movements steady despite the trembling that ran through her entire body. She could feel the weight of attention on her as she left, the eyes of every alpha in the hall tracking her departure.

By the time she reached her room in the Blackwood Alphas quarters, she was shaking.

She moved through the motions of drawing a bath, of removing her clothes, of sinking into the hot water. She sat there and started washing away the remnants of Kieran’s touch.

***

Lilith sank deeper into the hot water of the bath.

Steam rose around her, wrapping her in warmth. The heat should have been soothing. Instead, it felt like torture.

She scrubbed her skin where Kieran’s hand had been. Under the table. Uninvited and possessive.

The water was scalding but it didn’t wash away the feeling of his touch. Didn’t erase the memory of his fingers sliding higher. Didn’t remove the sensation of being trapped between two alphas while the entire dining hall watched.

Lucian’s growl still echoed in her ears.

That sound. That inhuman sound of pure rage and possession. It had shaken the entire hall. Had made every alpha in the room freeze.

And then Nicholas’s cold voice. The threat delivered so calmly. So civilly. So perfectly constructed that it was almost beautiful in its cruelty.

She scrubbed harder.

Sebastian’s command kept replaying in her mind: Go to your room. Take a bath.

She understood what it meant. He wanted her to wash off what Kieran had left on her body. Wanted to erase the other alpha’s claim. Wanted her clean and ready for...for what? She didn’t know.

Lilith pulled herself out of the bath and dried off slowly. The towel was soft against her still-flushed skin. Her body was warm, her hair damp, her mind racing with questions that had no answers.

She wrapped the towel around herself and stood in the center of her room.

The knock came exactly as her skin began to cool.

Three sharp raps on the door.

She opened it to find Finn standing in the corridor. Sebastian’s beta. His expression was calm, professional and expectant.

"Alpha Sebastian demands that you come to his room," Finn said simply.

Lilith’s breath caught.

She searched his face for information. For context. For something that might explain why Sebastian was summoning her now, after everything that had happened in the dining hall.

Finn gave her nothing.
