Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295: I’m Not A Prisoner

Lilith stood at the window of her bedroom and stared out at the forest that stretched endlessly beyond the estate grounds, her fingers pressed against the cool glass.

Five days since the pack meeting. Five days since she had stood in front of hundreds of wolves and felt their fear directed at her like a physical thing. Five days of feeling like she was suffocating under the weight of everything she did not understand.

She needed to get out.

Needed space to breathe and think without three sets of eyes watching her every move, without two bonds humming constantly beneath her skin demanding her attention.

She needed to see her mother.

Lilith turned from the window and grabbed her jacket, pulling it on over the simple dress she wore. The marks on her throat were visible, she had stopped trying to hide them days ago, and when she caught sight of herself in the mirror she barely recognized the woman staring back.

Two bond marks. Two completed claims. And still so much she did not know.

A knock at the door made her turn.

"Come in."

Nicholas entered first, followed by Sebastian and Lucian, and the moment all three of them were in the room the air felt heavier, charged with the tension that had been building between them for days.

"I’m going to visit my mother," Lilith said before any of them could speak. "At the hospital. I’ll be back this afternoon."

Nicholas’s silver eyes studied her face with an intensity that made her want to look away. "Maybe you should wait. Just a few more days,,,,"

"Why?" Lilith interrupted, her frustration finally breaking through. "Why do I need to wait? What’s wrong?"

She saw them exchange glances, that silent communication through the mindlink that always made her feel like an outsider even with the bonds connecting her to them.

"Nothing’s wrong," Sebastian said carefully. "We just think it’s better if you stay close to the estate right now. After the pack meeting, with everything that’s happened..."

"I’m not a prisoner," Lilith said, her voice sharper than she intended. "I need to see my mother. I need some space. I need...." She stopped, took a breath. "I just need this. Please."

Another silence, heavier this time.

Through the bonds she could feel their conflict.....worry, protectiveness, something darker that felt almost like fear. But fear of what? What weren’t they telling her?

"Fine," Nicholas said finally, though his jaw was tight. "But you’re not going alone."

"I can take care of myself...."

"That’s not negotiable." His Alpha voice, the one that left no room for argument. "Sebastian’s Beta will drive you. He’ll stay with the car while you visit your mother. And you call us the moment you’re ready to leave."

Lilith wanted to argue, wanted to demand why they were being so overprotective, but she was too tired to fight. "Fine. Whatever. Can I go now?"
