Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: They’re My Mates

"You have no right to question her judgment Mike," Wren said sharply.

"I have every right when she’s bonding herself to the family that might be keeping secret about her father’s death from her!" Mike’s voice was rising now and several people in the café turned to look. "Do you even know what you’ve done, Lilith? Do you know what they are? What they have done?"

"They’re my mates," Lilith said, her voice shaking with anger. "And they’re investigating what happened to my father. They told me that from the beginning."

"And you believe them?" Mike laughed bitterly. "You believe the Blackwoods brothers are going to tell you the truth about what happened that night?"

"What night?" Lilith demanded. "What are you talking about?"

"The night your father died. Ask them. Ask them where they were. Ask them what they know. Ask them if he truly committed the sin they accused him of." Mike stood up and threw some bills on the table. "And when they lie to you, because they will lie.....you come find me. Because I’m the only one who’s going to tell you the truth."

He turned and walked out of the café, leaving Lilith and Wren sitting in stunned silence.

"Lilith...." Wren started.

"Did you know?" Lilith’s voice was barely above a whisper. "Did you know he was going to say that?"

"No. I swear I didn’t. I just wanted to show you what I found about your mother. I had no idea Mike was...." Wren reached across the table but Lilith pulled her hand back. "He’s angry, Lilith. After the news about you being sent to the brothers started spreading, He’s changed.....I think.....We all know that he was close to your father and he’s been obsessed with finding answers for weeks, hearing the news might have fueled his anger. But that doesn’t mean what he’s saying is true."

Lilith felt tears burning behind her eyes but she refused to let them fall. "The brothers told me they’re investigating. They told me they’re looking into my father’s death and try to clear his name, and they also promised to look into my mother’s family. They’ve been honest about that."

"Then trust them," Wren said gently. "Trust your mates over Mike’s accusations."

Lilith wanted to. Wanted to believe that Nicholas and Sebastian and Lucian would never lie to her about something this important. But Mike’s words kept echoing in her head.

Ask them if they were there the night your father died. Ask them if he truly committed the sin they accused him of.

What did that even mean?

"I need to go," Lilith said, standing up.

"Wait.....let me show you what I found about your mother...."

"Later." Lilith grabbed her purse and headed for the door. "I’ll call you later, Wren. I just need to think."

She pushed out into the afternoon sunlight and immediately felt Sebastian through the bond, already moving toward her from where he’d been watching. He appeared at her side within seconds, his hand going to her elbow.

"What happened?" he asked, his eyes scanning her face. "You’re upset."

"Mike was there."

Sebastian’s expression darkened. "What did he say?"

"He..." Lilith shook her head. "Can we just go home? Please?"

Sebastian studied her for a moment and then nodded, guiding her toward where they’d parked. Through the bond she felt his concern, his protective instincts flaring, but he didn’t push. Just stayed close as they drove back to the estate in silence.

Ask them if they were there the night your father died.
