Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: STOP! You’re Hurting Her!

"Fix it," Lucian growled.

"I’M TRYING!" Victoria snapped.

She placed both hands on Lilith’s chest and green magic poured out of her....healing magic, stabilization spells, every technique she knew for keeping someone alive when their body was trying to die.

Lilith convulsed harder.

The magic was not working.

"No," Victoria whispered. "No no no...."

She pushed more power into Lilith. The green light blazed brighter.

Lilith screamed, a sound so filled with agony that every person on the battlefield flinched.

"STOP!" Sebastian lurched forward. "You’re hurting her!"

"I’m trying to SAVE her!" Victoria shot back.

But Nicholas could see it. Could see that whatever Victoria was doing, it was not working. The curse was too strong. Too embedded. Too hungry.

Lilith was still dying.

And they were all just standing there watching it happen.

Selene’s POV

Selene had been a Moon Temple Guardian for three hundred years.

She had seen battles that leveled cities. Had watched civilizations rise and fall. Had witnessed suffering and death in forms most mortals could not comprehend.

But watching this girl die while her mates stood helpless and her aunt desperately tried to save her with magic that clearly was not working...

That was its own special kind of torture.

Selene moved forward without consciously deciding to.

She knelt beside Victoria and placed her hand on the witch’s shoulder. "Your magic isn’t working because you’re fighting the curse directly. You can’t overpower it."

Victoria looked up at her with eyes wild with desperation. "Then what do I do?!"

"You don’t," Selene said quietly. "I do."

She gently moved Victoria aside and placed both hands on Lilith’s chest....directly over her heart where the curse was strongest.

Divine magic was different from witch magic or wolf magic or any mortal power. It came from the Moon Goddess herself, channeled through her Guardians, and it operated on laws that superseded mortal limitations.

Selene called on that power now.

Silver light blazed from her hands....not warm like healing magic, but cold and absolute like moonlight on ice. It poured into Lilith’s body and wrapped around the curse.

Not fighting it. Not trying to destroy it.

Just containing it.

Holding it still.

Giving Lilith’s body a chance to stop tearing itself apart.

The convulsions slowed. Then stopped.

The bleeding continued but it was no longer hemorrhaging. No longer seeping through her skin like she was dissolving from the inside out.

Lilith’s eyes, which had been rolled back in her head, slowly closed.

Her breathing, which had been ragged gasps between seizures, steadied into something that almost looked like sleep.

Selene held the magic for another thirty seconds. Then she slowly withdrew her hands.

"She’s stabilized," Selene said quietly.
