Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: If You Want Me To Stop, Tell Me Now

Nicholas held her gaze.

"Yes, But we are still investigating it to know if he was truly the one who informed the hunters about the meeting," he said.

"That is not an answer." Lilith said.

"It is the only honest answer I have right now." Nicholas looked at her and replied.

She looked at him.

At the silver eyes that were giving her something and holding something back at the same time.

She was tired of that.

She was so tired of that.

"Nicholas." Her voice came out quietly. "My father spent his whole life serving his pack. He died and left us with a tarnished name and now my mother is in a coma because of grief, because she couldn’t handle it." She paused. "If he is truly not guilty of the crime, if he was wrongly accused, I deserve to know."

"Yes," he said. "You do."

"Then tell me." she pressed on.

"I don’t have the full answer yet." His jaw was tight. "What I know is that the post appeared. Eli found it and took it down before it spread. The claim it makes...." He stopped. "I am not going to confirm or deny something I am still investigating. Because if I tell you something incomplete and it turns out to be wrong I will have hurt you for nothing."

She stared at him.

"And if it turns out to be right," she said.

He held her gaze.

"Then I will tell you everything," he said. "Every single thing. I promised you that."

The office was quiet.

She looked at the paper on his desk.

She looked back at Nicholas.

"Who is behind the posts," she said.

"We are close to finding out." Nicholas replied.

"Is it someone from Shadowmere?" She asked.

Something moved in his face, but it was gone before she could read it properly.

"Why do you ask that?," he said carefully.

"Because my father’s Beta records are not public," she said. "Wren told me that. Someone with access to Shadowmere archives is feeding this." She held his gaze. "Someone who knew my father."

Nicholas looked at her for a long moment.

"Yes," he said quietly. "We believe it is someone connected to Shadowmere."

She nodded her head and stood up.

Picked the paper off his desk and folded it and put it back in her pocket.

He watched her do it without moving.

"Lilith."

She stopped and turned back to loot at him.

"I am going to find out the truth about your father," he said. "Whatever it is. I am going to find it and I am going to tell you." His voice was completely even. "You have my word."

She looked at him for a moment.

At the man who had brought her to a waterfall nobody else had ever seen.

She believed him.

She did not know if she should.

But she did.

"Okay," she said.

She walked out of his office and pulled the door shut behind her.

***

Wren left very early the next morning.

She hugged Lilith at the door. Held on for a moment. Pulled back and looked at her face with those sharp eyes that missed nothing.

"Thursday," she said.

"Thursday," Lilith said.

Lilith stood at the top of the steps until the grey car disappeared through the gates.

His wolf was right there at the surface.
