Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266: You’re In Love With Them

Wren studied her face for a moment and then said quietly, "You’re in love with them."

Lilith’s breath caught. "I didn’t say that."

"You didn’t have to. I can see it in your face." Wren’s expression softened. "It’s okay, you know. To love them. Even if it’s terrifying."

Lilith looked down at her hands. "It is terrifying. considering the fact that they accused my father of killing theirs"

"I know." Wren reached across the table again and squeezed her hand. "But you’re one of the strongest people I know. You’ll figure it out."

Lilith wanted to believe her. She really did.

They talked for another hour about nothing important....Wren’s terrible coworker who could not figure out how to use the inventory system, a movie Wren had watched that made her cry, the weather and the city and anything that was not the bond or the brothers or the posts.

It felt normal and easy and for a little while Lilith could almost pretend she was just a girl having coffee with her best friend and not a mate caught between three cursed Alphas and a conspiracy she did not understand.

But eventually the conversation circled back.

"You’ll tell Alpha Nicholas about Mike?" Wren asked as they stood to leave.

"I will," Lilith promised. "Tonight. As soon as I get back."

Wren hugged her tight. "Call me if you need anything. I mean it. Any time."

"I will. Thank you, Wren."

They walked out together and Wren headed toward her car while Lilith pulled out her phone and texted Callum. He replied immediately that he was two blocks away and would be there in thirty seconds.

Lilith stood on the sidewalk and watched Wren drive away, and the whole time her stomach was twisting with dread.

She had to tell Nicholas about Mike.

She had to tell her mate that her ex-boyfriend might be the one destroying her father’s reputation.

She had to admit that the person she had once loved, the person she had given herself to before the bond existed, might be her enemy now.

Callum pulled up and she climbed into the back seat, her hands still shaking.

"Back to the estate?" he asked.

"Yes," she said quietly. "Back to the estate."

And the whole drive home she rehearsed in her head how to tell Nicholas the truth without breaking apart completely.

***

The estate felt too quiet when Lilith walked through the front doors. Callum had dropped her at the main entrance and disappeared without a word, and now she stood in the vast entryway with her heart pounding and her palms sweating and absolutely no idea how to do what she was about to do.

She had to tell Nicholas about Mike.
