Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364: A Bridge Between Life And Death

"How long?" Sebastian asked hoarsely.

Elena considered. "A few days. Maybe a week if we’re lucky. The curse will adapt to my magic the same way it adapted to Selene’s divine power and the necklace’s protective charm. When it does, it’ll come back stronger than before."

"Then we have a week to find a permanent solution," Nicholas said.

"Yes," Elena agreed.

She turned to look at Lilith sleeping peacefully now, no convulsions, no blood, no signs of the horror that had been consuming her just minutes ago.

"We need to talk," Elena said quietly. "All of us. About what’s really happening to your mate and what it’s going to take to save her permanently."

She looked at Victoria. "I received your message. I came as fast as I could without revealing my location to the vampire hunting me. And I’ve been researching this curse since the moment I gave Nicholas that necklace."

"You knew," Victoria said. "You knew what was happening to her."

"I suspected," Elena corrected. "I felt the divine magic on Nicholas when we met. Recognized the signature of a Moon Goddess curse. I saw a signature of a Morvaine witch bonded to three cursed Alphas, And I knew she was in danger."

"So you gave us the necklace," Nicholas said.

"To buy time," Elena confirmed. "So you could find someone who actually knew how to help. Which apparently meant finding me." She smiled slightly. "Clever use of the sacred portal, Victoria. Not many witches remember that ritual anymore."

"Will you help her?" Lucian asked bluntly. "Can you break the curse?"

Elena was quiet for a long moment.

"I don’t know," she admitted. "What Lilith has isn’t a normal curse. It’s divine punishment combined with a soul bond and ancestral Morvaine magic all tangled together in ways that shouldn’t be possible. Breaking it without killing her will require..." She stopped.

"Require what?" Sebastian demanded.

Elena looked at the three Alphas with an expression Victoria could not quite read.

"A miracle," Elena said softly. "Or something very close to it."

She moved to sit in the chair beside Lilith’s bed, looking at the unconscious girl with something like wonder.

"But first," Elena continued, "you all need to understand what you’re really dealing with. Because this isn’t just a curse. It’s not just divine punishment or a prophecy demanding sacrifice."

"Then what is it?" Victoria asked.

Elena met her gaze directly.

"It’s a test," Elena said. "The Moon Goddess doesn’t just want Lilith dead. She wants to see if Lilith is strong enough to survive what she’s becoming. And if the bonds between her and these three Alphas are real enough to withstand the impossible."

The room fell silent.

"What is she becoming?" Nicholas asked quietly.

Elena smiled...sad and knowing.

"Something that hasn’t existed in this world for centuries," Elena said. "Something powerful enough to change everything about how supernatural politics and magic work. Something dangerous and beautiful and absolutely unprecedented."
