Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371: What If It Doesn’t Work?

Waking up was harder than it should have been.

Lilith opened her eyes to afternoon sunlight streaming through the window and felt like she was trying to drag herself out of quicksand.

Everything was heavy. Her limbs. Her head. Even her eyelids felt like they weighed more than they should.

But she was awake.

Alive.

For now.

Lilith pushed herself upright slowly...careful, testing her body’s limits and immediately felt the bonds flare to life.

Not painful. Not overwhelming. Just present in a way they had not been before.

She could feel Nicholas somewhere in the estate. Feel his steady presence like a beacon. Feel the careful control he was maintaining over emotions that wanted to spiral.

Could feel Sebastian closer. In the hallway maybe. Or just outside the door. His anxiety bleeding through the connection like static.

Could feel Lucian pacing somewhere below. Restless energy and barely contained panic making the bond between them pulse erratically.

They knew she was awake.

All three of them knew the moment her eyes opened.

Lilith looked down at her hands and flexed her fingers experimentally. They worked. Everything worked. She was not dead or broken or consumed by the curse.

Not yet.

The door opened and Sebastian entered carrying a tray with food. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He looked exhausted. Dark circles under his eyes. Hair disheveled like he had been running his hands through it repeatedly. Clothes rumpled like he had slept in them.

But the moment he saw Lilith sitting up in bed, his entire face transformed.

Relief so intense it was almost painful flooded through the bond between them.

"You’re awake," Sebastian said, and his voice cracked on the words.

"I’m awake," Lilith confirmed.

Sebastian set the tray down on the nightstand and sat on the edge of the bed. He reached out and took her hand like he needed to touch her to confirm she was real.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

Lilith considered the question. "Weak. Tired. Like I’ve been sick for a week and my body is still recovering."

"You were in a coma for three days," Sebastian said. "And before that you nearly died in battle. Your body has been through hell."

"I know," Lilith said quietly.

Sebastian squeezed her hand gently. "You need to eat. Build your strength back up. Elena says you need to be as strong as possible before the transformation attempt."

Lilith looked at the tray. Bread. Cheese. Fruit. A glass of water. Simple food that should have looked appealing.

But her stomach turned at the sight of it.

"I’m not hungry," Lilith said.

"You need to eat anyway," Sebastian insisted. He picked up a piece of bread and held it out to her. "Please. Even if it’s just a few bites."

Lilith took the bread and bit into it reluctantly.

It tasted wrong.
