Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: They Are Watching Me

LILITH’s POV

The estate felt different.

Lilith could not explain it, but the air was heavier. The pack moved differently...slower, quieter. Like everyone had used something up two nights ago and had not gotten it back yet.

Like the entire pack took a day off to get everything in place before they started running the pack again after the full moon.

She walked through the main corridor toward the dining hall.

Wolves she passed looked at her. Not hostile and not friendly either.

One omega stopped completely and stared until her companion pulled her forward.

Lilith kept walking.

Agnes was waiting at the table with tea already poured. and she saw that she looked tired.

Lilith sat down.

"Did you sleep?" Lilith asked.

Agnes shook her head.

"Full moon nights are not sleeping nights." she said.

"Why? But it is a day after already, so why?" Lilith said.

"The pack runs. The elders watch. The young ones shift for the first time if the moon calls them. It is celebration and duty all at once."

Lilith wrapped her hands around the teacup.

"And this year?"

Agnes met her eyes.

"This year was different."

"How?"

Agnes poured herself more tea before answering.

"The entire pack didn’t know until yesterday that their Alphas chain themselves every full moon."

She looked at Lilith confused face before she continued.

"The whole pack felt it through the mindlink. Three anchors. Three wolves at the edge. Alpha Kael holding because of you. Alpha Rhen holding because of you. Alpha Zev nearly breaking his restrain because he could not reach you."

"I did not..."Lilith wanted to defend herself but Agnes waved her hand.

"You did nothing wrong, child. You saved them by being exactly where you were."

Lilith set the cup down."The pack knows?" she asked.

"The pack has always known. They felt Alpha Kael mark you days ago. During the full moon, they felt all three wolves fighting the curse and winning."

"Winning?"

Agnes smiled. "They held the chains. That is winning."

Lilith didn’t know what to say, so she just nodded her head and then picked up her cup.

A maid came in with bread and set it down without a word. She glanced at Lilith. Lilith looked back at her, and the omega quickly dropped her face and left the kitchen.

"They are watching me."

"They are trying to understand you. You are wolfless, but their Alphas are bonded to you. You have no scent marker from Alpha Rhen or Alpha Zev, but both wolves nearly tore themselves apart trying to reach you. It does not make sense to them yet."

"Does it make sense to you?"

Agnes leaned back.

"You are their mate. That is all the sense I need." she replied back.

Lilith ate half a piece of bread and couldn’t finish it. Her stomach was too tight, so she excused herself shortly after and Agnes did not stop her.

***

Lilith walked outside.

The clearing where the full moon ceremony had been was still marked. Ash from the fire. Flattened grass where wolves had run. Lanterns still hanging from the trees.

She stood at the edge and stared.

"They ran all night." A voice said from behind her.

Lilith turned.

Sera was standing behind her. Her hair pulled back. Her eyes shadowed and still looking very beautiful.

"I did not hear you," Lilith said.

"You were thinking too loud," Sera said.

Sera came to stand beside her. They both looked at the clearing.

"It was a good moon. Strong. The young ones shifted clean. No one was hurt."

"Agnes said it was different this year." Lilith said.

Sera glanced at her. "It was." she said.

"Because of me?" Lilith asked.

"Because of them. Because they chose chains over instinct. Because Alpha Kael found an anchor and the other two did not, and everyone felt what that imbalance does to their wolf under the full moon."

Lilith looked down and Sera moved closer to her.
