Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Someone Is Looking Into How Victor Died

She looked at the map. "Wren called," she said. "About the post, she said It’s spreading further. More forums. Someone is pushing it deliberately across multiple networks, she is worried that it’s not organic because my father’s name is appearing now. His Beta record. Someone is connecting it to the alliance meeting." She paused. "Wren documented everything again. More screenshots, usernames that keep reappearing across different platforms. She sent it all to me." she looked up at him and the said . "I thought you should know."

Then she turned her face to the wall like it was the most thing to look at in the room.

Nicholas looked at her standing there with her eyes fixed on the wall and he understood exactly what had happened. She had walked down here. Stood outside his door without knocking. Stood there long enough that he’d had time to notice her through the glass and still not left. She hadn’t come because of the information. She’d come because she hadn’t been able to stay away.

He stood up.

She kept her eyes forward until he was close enough that she couldn’t anymore. They dropped to the floor, and he put two fingers under her chin and tilted her face up and looked at her properly for the first time in two days.

"Lilith."

She didn’t respond.

"Look at me." Nicholas said.

Her eyes came up. Dark, a little wide, her breath held tight in her chest.....and then the exact moment she realized he could see all of it, the flush moving up her throat slow and involuntary and entirely honest, and something in his chest pulled so hard his wolf surged with it, both of them feeling the same thing at once, and it took him a moment to regulate his breath.

She was responding to him. Right now, standing here, her body pulling toward him even as everything else in her was trying to pull back from him. It isn’t the way it would have felt if she’d had her wolf....not the full force of it.....but the bond had taken root in her anyway, quiet and certain, and it was making itself known.

His thumb moved across her jaw slowly.

Her breath caught in a way she couldn’t have hidden even if she’d tried.

He held her face a moment longer than necessary, watching her try to hold his gaze but was failing at it. Then he said "I’ll contact Callum. He’ll bring Eli and Finn. We’ll look into it."

She nodded.

"Okay?" He asked her

"Yes," she said. Quietly and a little unsteady.

He didn’t move his hand. He kept on looking at her flushed cheeks, the line of her throat and the unaffected face she was trying to maintain. "Come with me tonight, Lilith, I want to show you something."

Her eyes shifted. "Will Sebastian and Lucian be there?"

He looked at her face. At the question underneath the question. "No," he said. "Just me and you."

The hesitation moved through her face immediately, and for a brief moment he saw that the idea of being alone with him terrifies her.

Callum. Come to my office now. Bring Eli and Finn with you.
