Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347: You Summoned A Demon Lord

Lilith’s head snapped toward the sound.

Thalia stood at the edge of the eastern woods, her red robes torn and bloody, her face twisted with absolute rage. The corruption in her magic was visible now, green energy shot through with black veins, pulsing with something that looked diseased.

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!" Thalia screamed at Lilith. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP ME RESHAPE THIS WORLD! AND INSTEAD YOU STAND WITH THEM?! WITH WOLVES WHO CURSED YOU AND A GODDESS WHO DEMANDS YOUR DEATH?!"

"I stand with people who love me!" Lilith screamed back. "Not someone who wants to use me!"

"LOVE?!" Thalia laughed....high and broken. "LOVE IS WHAT KILLED OUR FAMILY! LOVE IS WHAT GOT YOUR FATHER MURDERED! LOVE IS WEAKNESS!"

"No," Lilith said, and her voice was steady despite her tears. "Love is the only thing that matters."

Thalia’s expression shifted through rage to something that looked almost like grief.

"Then you’re a fool," she said quietly. "Just like your grandmother. Just like everyone who came before you."

She raised her hands and dark magic gathered around her....so much power it made the air itself distort.

"If I can’t have you willingly," Thalia said, "then I’ll take you broken."

***

Victoria felt Thalia’s power building and knew exactly what was coming.

A killing blow.

Not aimed at Lilith....Thalia still wanted her alive. But aimed at everyone around Lilith. At the Alphas and the pack and Victoria herself. At everyone Lilith loved.

Thalia was going to force Lilith to choose.

Watch everyone die. Or surrender.

"NO!" Victoria screamed.

She threw herself forward, gathering every ounce of magic she possessed.

Victoria’s green magic slammed into Thalia’s dark power.

The two forces collided in midair and exploded.

The shockwave knocked everyone within fifty feet to the ground. Victoria felt her wards shatter. Felt her protective charms dissolve. Felt magic tear through her body like broken glass.

But she held on.

Held the line between Thalia’s power and everyone behind her.

"AUNT VICTORIA, DON’T!" Lilith screamed. "YOU CAN’T HOLD THAT MUCH POWER!"

Victoria couldn’t. She knew she couldn’t. Thalia was stronger.....more corrupt, more willing to sacrifice everything for power.

But Victoria did not need to win.

She just needed to hold long enough for someone else to strike.

"NICHOLAS!" Victoria screamed. "NOW!"

Nicholas....who had been circling around through the chaos while Victoria held Thalia’s attention....charged from Thalia’s blind side.

Kael’s silver form was a blur of lethal intent. His blessed claws aimed for

Thalia’s throat.

Thalia spun at the last second.

Her magic lashed out and caught Kael mid-leap, slamming him into the ground with bone-crushing force.

Nicholas shifted back to human and didn’t get up.

"NICHOLAS!" Sebastian and Lucian both screamed.

Through the her power, Victoria felt his consciousness flickering. Felt him struggling to stay awake. Felt his absolute refusal to give up even when his body was broken.

"Pathetic," Thalia said, looking down at Nicholas’s prone form. "You really thought you could stop me? You’re just wolves. Cursed, desperate, dying wolves."

No one touches him.
