Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Lilith Isn’t Entirely Wolfless

Nicholas must have sensed her confusion through the bond because he leaned close and whispered, "You stand with us. Not behind us. Not sitting. You stand as our equal."

Lilith’s throat tightened but she nodded.

They climbed onto the platform together and turned to face the pack. Sebastian moved to stand on her right, Nicholas on her left, and Lucian just behind them. A united front.

Nicholas raised his hand and the murmuring in the hall stopped immediately.

"Thank you all for coming," Nicholas said, his voice carrying easily through the space. "I know many of you have questions about what happened last night. And you deserve answers."

He paused and let his gaze sweep across the crowd.

"As you all know by now, Sebastian completed his bond with Lilith last night. The second of three bonds required to break our curse." His hand found Lilith’s and squeezed once. "The power surge you felt throughout the territory was a result of that bond completing. It was not an attack. It was not a threat. It was simply... power. Lilith’s power. Waking up."

Murmurs rippled through the crowd immediately and Nicholas let them talk for a moment before raising his hand again.

"I know you’re afraid," he continued. "I know you have concerns about what Lilith is and what she might be capable of. And I’m here to tell you that we share those concerns."

Lilith felt her stomach drop but Nicholas squeezed her hand again....reassurance through the bond that he knew what he was doing.

"Lilith is not entirely wolfless as we originally believed," Nicholas said. "She has magic. Power that is waking up inside her as the bonds complete. We don’t fully understand it yet. We don’t know the extent of it. But we are investigating, and we will get answers."

"And what if those answers prove she’s dangerous?" a voice called from the back of the hall.

Nicholas’s eyes went cold and he scanned the crowd until he found the speaker....Elder Morris, standing near the back with his arms crossed. "Are you suggesting our mate is a threat to this pack, Elder Morris?"

"I’m suggesting we have a right to know what we’re dealing with," Morris shot back. "That power surge last night could have killed someone if they’d been standing too close to the Alpha wing. What happens when the third bond completes? Will the entire estate come down on our heads?"

More murmurs, louder this time, and Lilith felt panic starting to claw at her chest.
