Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Rhen Wants To Mark You

Lilith POV

Lilith could not sleep.

She had been lying in bed for two hours staring at the ceiling.

The full moon was three days past but something still felt wrong.

Not wrong, It felt different, The air in her room was too thick and her skin felt too tight.

She sat up, looked at the window.

The moon was waning but still bright enough to cast shadows across the floor.

She threw the covers off, pulled on a robe over her nightgown, and walked out barefooted.

She did not know where she was going.

Just knew she could not stay in this room.

The hallway was empty, everywhere was silent.

Everyone was asleep at this time of the night.

She walked down the stairs carefully.

Through the main hall, outside door into the garden.

The night air hit her and she breathed it in and felt better almost immediately.

She walked toward the edge of the garden where the trees started.

The woods were dark, It was quiet and dark.

She should go back inside, the right decision was to go back, but she didn’t.

Something pulled at her chest.

Not the bond.

She knew what the bond felt like now....warm and steady and connected to Nicholas.

This was different, it felt sharper.

Like a hook behind her ribs pulling her forward.

She stepped into the trees.

The woods were darker than she expected.

The moonlight barely made it through the canopy.

She walked slowly and carefully.

Her bare feet silent on the dirt and moss.

The pull got stronger.

She followed it without thinking.

Around a thick tree.

Over a fallen log.

She went deeper.

Then she heard it.

A sound that made her stop completely.

Not a howl.

Not a growl.

Something between a roar and a breath.

Pained.

She should turn around, but she kept walking.

The trees opened into a small clearing.

Moonlight spilled through, and Sebastian was there.

On his knees.

Head down and shirtless.

His back was to her, she could see his spine through his skin.

His shoulders heaving.

He didn’t know she was there.

Lilith stepped behind a tree and watched.

She didn’t know why, she just could not look away.

Sebastian’s hands were pressed flat to the ground.

His fingers digging into the dirt.

His whole body was shaking.

Then he threw his head back and growled.

The sound ripped through the clearing.

Lilith’s breath caught.

His spine moved.

Not like a muscle tensing.

Like something underneath his skin was trying to get out.

She pressed her hand to her mouth.

Sebastian’s breathing changed, It became faster, harsher.

His shoulders rolled forward and she heard the first crack.

Bone breaking and restructuring.

His right arm buckled and reformed.

It became longer and thicker.

Claws where his fingers had been.

Oh god!

Lilith could not move, could not breathe, could not look away.

The second crack came from his spine.

His back arched violently and his whole body lifted off the ground.

Another crack.

Then another.

His legs twisted and reformed.

His jaw extended.

Teeth pushing through gums.

Fangs.

His skin rippled and darkened and then fur started spreading from his spine outward.

Black and thick.

Covering him in waves.

The transformation was not clean.

It was brutal.

Beautiful in a way that made her chest hurt.

Sebastian’s human form disappeared completely, and Rhen stood in his place.

He was massive.

Easily the size of a horse.

Black fur gleaming in the moonlight, Brown eyes tinted with gold.

Mouth open, he was breathing hard.

Lilith stared.

She had never seen a wolf this large before, even at Shadowmare.

She had never seen one this big.

Rhen shook himself and stretched.

Tested his legs.

Then he went completely still.

His head turned slowly toward the tree line.

Toward her.

And their eyes met.

Golden brown eyes locked on her like she was the only thing in the world.

Lilith’s heart stopped and Rhen’s lips pulled back.

Not a snarl, but something else.

Recognition.

Hunger.

Claim.

Lilith screamed, She turned and ran.

She didn’t think, she just turned and ran.

Her bare feet hit the dirt hard, branches whipped her face.

She didn’t care, She ran faster than she had ever run in her life.

Behind her she heard the growl, low and deep vibrating through the ground.

Then the sound of paws hitting earth.

Oh god....oh god....oh god.
