Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Thank You For Loving Me

"What other way?" Lilith challenged. "We’ve exhausted every option. This is it. The transformation works or I die. There’s no plan C."

Sebastian wanted to tell her she was wrong. Wanted to tell her that Victoria was preparing backup plans and Elena had knowledge they hadn’t tapped yet and there were always more options.

But he couldn’t.

Because Lilith deserved honesty. Especially tonight.

"If the transformation doesn’t work," Sebastian said slowly, "and you....if the worst happens, I need you to know something."

"What?" Lilith asked.

"That loving you was worth it," Sebastian said. "Even if it ends tomorrow. Even if we only get these few months together. It was worth it. You were worth it."

Lilith’s eyes filled with tears. "Sebastian...."

"Let me finish," Sebastian said. "You came into our lives and turned everything upside down. You challenged us. Made us better. Made me want to be better. And even knowing how this might end, I wouldn’t change a single thing about how we got here."

A tear slipped down Lilith’s cheek. "You say that now. But if I die tomorrow...."

"Then I’ll grieve," Sebastian said. "I’ll rage and break things and probably destroy half the estate in the process. But I still won’t regret loving you. Because Lilith...you’re the best thing that ever happened to me. To all of us. And no amount of pain could make that not true."

Lilith stood abruptly and crossed to him. Sebastian pushed his chair back and she immediately climbed into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face against his shoulder.

Sebastian held her tight and felt her crying silently against him.

"I don’t want to die," Lilith whispered.

"I know," Sebastian said. "And you’re not going to. You’re strong, Lilith. Stronger than you realize. You’re going to attempt the transformation and you’re going to succeed and then we’re going to have the life together that we deserve."

"Promise?" Lilith asked, and her voice was small.

"I promise to fight for that with everything I have," Sebastian said. "I can’t promise the transformation will work. But I can promise that I will do absolutely anything to keep you alive. Anything, Lilith. There are no lines I won’t cross. No prices I won’t pay. If there’s a way to save you, I will find it."

Lilith pulled back to look at him. Her eyes were red and her face was wet with tears but she was smiling slightly.

"That’s very intense," she said.

"I’m an intense person," Sebastian said.

"I know," Lilith said. "It’s one of the things I love about you."

Sebastian felt warmth spread through his chest despite the circumstances. "You love me?"

"Obviously," Lilith said. "I thought I made that clear when I forgave you for the forced marking and chose to stay despite knowing it might kill me."

"Say it anyway," Sebastian said. "I want to hear it."

Lilith cupped his face in her hands. "I love you, Sebastian. I love how you care for people even when you pretend not to. I love how you’re gentle with me even when Rhen wants to be possessive. I love how you try so hard to be good even when the world makes it difficult. I love you."

Sebastian kissed her.

They moved to the bed and lay down together. Sebastian held Lilith close and felt her slowly relax against him. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
