Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Something’s Happening With The Blackwood Alphas

Lilith found Emma in the omega quarters’ common area, sitting alone with a cup of tea that had long gone cold.

The evening had settled over Shadowmere like a heavy blanket. The formal ceremony had concluded hours ago. The alphas had dispersed to their various quarters. The compound had settled into the quieter rhythms of night preparation.

Emma looked up when Lilith approached, and her kind eyes immediately showed concern.

"Lilith," Emma said, setting down her tea cup. "Come. Sit with me."

Lilith sank into the chair across from her friend. She needed to talk to someone. She needed to say the things out loud that had been spinning in her mind since everything had become so confusing and overwhelming that she couldn’t process it alone anymore.

Emma studied her face for a long moment, her expression shifting from concern to understanding.

"Something’s happening with the Blackwood alphas," Emma said. It wasn’t a question.

Lilith’s face flushed immediately, and that was answer enough.

"Talk to me," Emma said gently. "Tell me what’s going on."

Lilith struggled to find the words. How could she explain what she didn’t fully understand herself? How could she describe the way her body responded to them? How could she admit the confusion of fear mixed with something that felt dangerously like desire?

"They’re... they’re just being kind," Lilith said finally, the words sounding weak even to her own ears. "They’re asking me to help them with things. And they’re interested in how I’m doing. That’s all."

Emma’s expression hardened slightly.

"Lilith," she said, her voice becoming sharper. "Look at me."

Lilith raised her eyes to meet Emma’s gaze.

"I need you to listen to me very carefully," Emma said, leaning forward. "Because what I’m about to tell you is important. It’s more important than your comfort or your confusion or whatever you’re feeling right now."

Lilith swallowed hard, sensing the shift in Emma’s tone.

"Do you remember why you were sent to the Blackwood estate?" Emma asked quietly.

"The blood debt," Lilith said. "My father...."

"Your father was responsible for the death of the Blackwoods’ father," Emma interrupted, her voice firm. "That’s why they held you responsible. That’s why they made you pay with your own body. You weren’t there because of anything you did, Lilith. You were there because of who your father was. You were there because they decided you would be the payment for his crime."

Lilith felt her chest tighten.

"During those sixteen days at their estate, they used you," Emma continued, her voice carrying the weight of someone who understood exactly what she was saying. "They had the legal right to do so. The blood debt gave them that right. But what you need to understand is this: they saw you as payment. They saw you as a traitor’s daughter."

"But they released me," Lilith said, her voice small. "The contract was fulfilled. They let me go."

"Did they?" Emma asked, her eyes sharp. "Or are they just playing a longer game? Because Lilith, the way they’re looking at you now, that’s not the look of alphas who are done with you. That’s the look of alphas who are just beginning."
