Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: If The Pack Turns On Her....

"Fuck that." Lucian pushed off the door frame and walked into the room.

"She’s our mate. Their Luna. They don’t get to remove her just because they’re scared."

"They can if we can’t prove she’s not a threat." Nicholas ran a hand through his hair. "The law is clear, Lucian. If a majority of the pack elders agree that a Luna poses a danger to the pack’s survival, they can petition for removal. And we’d have to comply or risk pack revolt."

"Then we don’t let it come to a vote." Lucian said, looking at his hand.

"How?" Nicholas asked.

"We show them she’s not dangerous. We show them she’s in control. We show them she’s OURS and anyone who tries to remove her will have to go through all three of us first." Lucian replied.

Nicholas looked at his brother and saw the gold bleeding into his eyes. Zev was close, protective, ready to fight anyone who threatened their mate.

"Tonight needs to go well," Nicholas said quietly. "If the pack turns on her...."

"They won’t." Lucian interrupted him.

"You don’t know that."

"Yes I do." Lucian’s voice was absolutely certain. "Because they know if they try to remove her, we’ll tear the pack apart before we let them take her. And they’re not stupid enough to push us that far."

Nicholas wanted to believe that. Wanted to trust that the pack would choose loyalty over fear. But he had seen fear turn wolves against each other before. Had seen how quickly stability could crumble when uncertainty took root.

"Where is she now?" Lucian asked.

"With Sebastian. Getting ready for tonight."

"And how is she handling it?"

"Terrified. But trying not to show it."

Lucian nodded slowly. "Good. Fear keeps you sharp. Just as long as it doesn’t break her."

"It won’t," Nicholas said, and he made himself believe it. "She’s stronger than she thinks."

"She’ll need to be." Lucian walked to the window and looked out over the estate grounds where pack members were already starting to gather in preparation for tonight’s meeting. "Because tonight is going to determine everything. Either they accept her as Luna, or we’re going to have a serious problem."

Nicholas did not answer because there was nothing to say. Lucian was right.

Tonight would determine everything.

And Nicholas could only pray that Lilith was ready for it.

Lilith’s POV

Lilith stood in front of the mirror in Nicholas’s bedroom and barely recognized herself.
