Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Someone Is At The Gate

She walked for twenty minutes before she saw it.

A cave.

Cut into the cliff face, hidden from casual view by an outcropping of rock. The entrance was narrow and dark and absolutely unwelcoming.

The compass pointed directly at it.

Victoria approached carefully and peered inside.

The cave extended back into darkness. Water dripped from the ceiling. Something that might have been phosphorescent algae glowed faintly on the walls.

Victoria sent light floating ahead.

The cave was deeper than she expected. It twisted and turned, leading down into the cliff itself.

And at the back....

Another ritual circle.

Another set of Morvaine sigils carved into stone. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Another empty location.

Victoria felt something crack inside her chest.

"WHERE ARE YOU?!" she screamed into the cave.

Her voice echoed back, mocking her.

"Where are you! where are! you where are you..!"

Victoria sank to her knees in the cave and felt tears streaming down her face.

Three locations searched. Three decoys found. And still no Thalia.

She was running out of time.

Running out of options.

Running out of hope that she would find her cousin before the seven days expired and Lilith was lost forever.

She pressed her hands to her face and let herself break.

Just for a moment.

Just long enough to release the pressure building in her chest.

Then she stood.

Wiped her face.

And kept moving.

Because giving up was not an option.

Lilith was counting on her.

Even if Lilith did not know it.

Even if Lilith was dead and beyond help.

She would keep searching.

Would keep fighting.

Would find Thalia or die trying.

Two more locations remained.

North. East.

One of them had to be real.

One of them had to contain Thalia.

Victoria left the cave and looked at the grey ocean stretching to the horizon.

Somewhere out there, her cousin was hiding.

And Victoria would find her.

No matter how long it took.

No matter what it cost.

She would find her.

***

Nicholas’s POV

Day two.

Thirty-six hours since Lilith died.

One hundred thirty-two hours remaining.

Lilith.
