Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Aunt Victoria Is Here

The hospital was quiet when they arrived, the supernatural ward on the third floor even more so. Finn walked Lilith to the elevator and then stopped.

"I’ll be in the car," he said. "Call me when you’re ready to leave. And Luna?" He hesitated. "Be careful."

"Careful of what?"

But Finn just shook his head. "Just be careful."

He left before she could ask what he meant.

Lilith took the elevator up to the third floor and walked the familiar path to her mother’s room, her footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. The nurses recognized her now, nodded in greeting but did not stop her.

Her mother’s room was at the end of the hall, the door partially open. Lilith pushed it wider and stepped inside, and the familiar sight of her mother lying motionless in the hospital bed made her chest ache the way it always did.

"Hey, Mom," Lilith said softly, closing the door behind her and moving to the chair beside the bed. "I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Things have been... complicated."

Complicated did not even begin to cover it.

She sat down and took her mother’s hand, the skin cool and dry beneath her fingers. The machines beeped steadily in the background.....heartbeat, breathing, all the mechanical things keeping her alive while her mind stayed locked away somewhere Lilith couldn’t reach.

"I don’t know what I’m doing," Lilith admitted to her mother’s sleeping form. "I don’t know if I’m making a terrible mistake or if this is somehow right. The bonds....they feel right. The Alphas....they terrify me and make me feel safe at the same time. How is that possible?"

Her mother did not answer. Never answered. Lilith wasn’t even sure she could hear.

"There was a pack meeting," Lilith continued, her voice breaking slightly. "They’re scared of me. Of what I am. Of this power I don’t understand." She touched the marks on her throat. "Two bonds complete now. Sebastian marked me a week ago and the power that came with it....Mom, I shattered every window in his room. I felt like I was going to explode from the inside out."

She wiped at her eyes, frustrated with the tears that kept coming.

"And now there’s one bond left. Lucian. And I don’t know if I can survive a third marking. I don’t know if my body can handle it. But the curse.....they need all three bonds complete or they’ll go feral and...."

"Lilith."

The voice came from behind her, soft and familiar and impossible.

Lilith’s heart stopped.

She turned slowly in her chair, hardly daring to breathe, and found a woman standing in the doorway.

Tall. Elegant. Dark hair pulled back from a face that was beautiful and severe in equal measure. Eyes the same shade as Lilith’s own staring at her with an expression of profound relief mixed with absolute horror.
