Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350: You Have To Wake Up

She moved to the bed and placed her hand on Lilith’s forehead. Her magic pulsed once....gentle, checking, and then withdrew.

"She’s in a coma," Victoria said quietly. "Deep one. Her body shut down to conserve energy. To give the curse less to feed on."

"Will she wake up?" Lucian asked from the doorway.

"I don’t know," Victoria admitted.

Nicholas appeared behind Lucian, his face carefully blank but his eyes burning with the same desperation they were all feeling.

"How long?" Nicholas asked.

"How long what?"

"How long do we have?" Nicholas clarified. "Before the curse kills her. Selene said maybe a day. Is that accurate?"

Victoria was quiet for a long moment. "I’d say less. Twelve hours. Maybe eighteen if we’re lucky. The divine magic Selene used will slow the curse temporarily. But it’s already adapting. Already finding ways around the containment. When it breaks through...." She stopped.

"She dies," Sebastian finished.

"Yes."

The four of them stood around Lilith’s bed in silence.

Watching her breathe.

Watching her chest rise and fall with shallow breaths.

Watching her die slowly.

"I’m not giving up," Victoria said finally. "I’m going to find a solution. I’m going to save her."

She turned and left the room, her robes swirling behind her.

Nicholas looked at his brothers. "One of us should stay with her. Always. She shouldn’t be alone when she..." He stopped. Could not say the words.

"I’ll take first watch," Sebastian said immediately.

"I’ll take second," Lucian said.

Nicholas nodded. "I’ll coordinate with the Guardians. See if Selene knows anything else about the curse that could help."

He left.

Lucian hesitated at the door, looking back at Lilith one more time. "She’s going to wake up. She has to."

"I know," Sebastian said, even though he did not know anything anymore.

Lucian left.

Sebastian was alone with Lilith.

He pulled a chair beside the bed and took her hand, the one that was not covered in blood and held it gently.

"You have to fight this," he whispered. "You have to wake up. Because we can’t lose you. I can’t lose you."

Through the bond he could feel her....distant and fading but still there. Still tethered to him by threads of magic and love and desperate hope.

"Please," Sebastian whispered. "Please don’t leave us."

But Lilith didn’t answer.
