Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: We Are Handling It Lilith

Lilith’s POV

She woke up feeling different.

Not dramatically. Not in a way she could point to immediately and name.

Just....different.

Like something had shifted in the night while she was sleeping and she was only now catching up to it.

She lay there for a moment staring at the ceiling.

The bond was warm in her chest the way it always was. Nicholas at one end of it....steady and familiar, that constant awareness of him she could recognize anywhere now.

But there were two other things sitting alongside it this morning.

Not the bond, but something else.

Warmer than yesterday. Closer than yesterday.

She pressed her hand flat against her chest, and thought about Sebastian’s hands on her hips yesterday and the way Lucian’s golden eyes had looked at her.

She got up to prepare for the day before she lost herself into thinking about gold and black eyes and what they had done to her yesterday.

***

Agnes was already in the kitchen when she got there.

Already had tea on the counter before Lilith sat down. Did not say anything. Just set it in front of her and went back to whatever she was doing at the stove.

This was what Lilith loved about Agnes.

No performance. No fuss.

Lilith wrapped both hands around the mug and looked out the window at the estate grounds.

The morning was grey and still. Dew on the grass. The forest at the edge of the territory dark and unchanged.

"Drink your tea," Agnes said without turning around.

Lilith smiled and drank everything in one go, Then she stood up, said thank you to Agnes and decided to go for a walk around the estate.

***

She found Sebastian in the library after leaving the kitchen.

She had not been looking for him specifically. She had been walking...just moving through the estate the way she did when she needed to think....and she turned a corner and entered the library and there he was.

Sitting in the chair by the window, with a book open on his knee.

He looked up when she came in, his dark eyes moved over her face.

She walked toward him and sat down in the chair across from him.

Neither of them said anything for a while.

"You okay," Sebastian said finally.

"Yes," she said. "You?"

"Yes, i am okay" he replied.

The library was quiet around them. The morning light shining through the tall windows.

"Sebastian."

He looked at her.

"Two days ago," she said carefully. "I went to see Nicholas."

His expression did not change.

"I know," he said.

She looked at him. "He told you."

"This morning. In the office." He held her gaze. "He told us about the new post, We are handling it Lilith."

"I know you are," she said.

He was quiet for a moment, then he turned to look at her. "Are you scared?" he asked.

"You are in love with him."
