Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290: The Petitions

"Too much?" Sebastian asked carefully.

"No." Lilith touched one of the bite marks on her shoulder and felt the echo of pleasure it had caused. "No, I just... I look like I was mauled."

"You were." Sebastian did not sound even remotely apologetic. "By me. And now everyone who sees you will know you’re claimed."

Lilith felt heat rush through her at the possessiveness in his voice, and through the bond she felt Sebastian’s immediate response to her arousal.

"Don’t," he said, his voice strained. "Don’t do that or I’m going to fuck you again and you’re already too sore."

"I didn’t do anything...."Lilith replied.

"You’re thinking about last night and I can feel it through the bond." He got out of bed and held out his hand. "Come on. Let’s get you in the bath before I lose control again."

An hour later, Lilith was clean and dressed carefully, because every movement reminded her of exactly what Sebastian had done to her, and sitting in Sebastian’s destroyed bedroom trying to figure out what came next.

The windows were shattered. The bedframe was cracked straight down the middle. There were scorch marks on the dresser and the walls, and glass covered nearly every surface.

"We can’t stay in here," Sebastian said, surveying the damage. "We’ll move you to my room temporarily until this is repaired."

"Your room IS destroyed."

"I meant Nicholas’s room. Or yours." He paused. "Actually, we should probably just share Nicholas’s room. All of us. Once Lucian marks you...."

A knock at the door cut him off.

"Come in," Sebastian called.

The door opened and Nicholas stepped inside, took one look at the destruction, and raised an eyebrow. "I see the bond completion went well."

"Fuck off," Sebastian said without heat.

Nicholas’s lips twitched but he did not smile. Instead he looked at Lilith and his expression softened. "How are you feeling?"

"Sore. But okay." She replied.

"Good." He walked over and sat on the edge of the broken bed beside her, his hand finding hers automatically. Through their bond she felt his relief, his satisfaction that Sebastian’s marking was complete, and underneath it a thread of concern she could not quite identify. "We need to talk."

Sebastian tensed. "About what?"

"The pack." Nicholas looked between them. "Last night’s power surge was felt throughout the entire territory. Every wolf in the pack knows something happened. And this morning I received formal petitions from three of the elders demanding an explanation."

Lilith felt her stomach drop. "Petitions?"

"Formal requests for a pack meeting to address concerns about your... nature." Nicholas’s voice was careful. "This isn’t the first time, Lilith. When Kael marked you and the room shook, that was noticed. Whispered about. The elders have been watching ever since. But last night’s surge was impossible to ignore. They’re scared."

"Scared of me?" she asked.

"Scared of what you might be. What you might do." Nicholas squeezed her hand gently. "They want answers. And they want reassurance that you’re not a threat to the pack."
