Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: She Can Not Be Our True Mate

He released his grip on the desk and turned to face them.

"Something about her affects us in ways that shouldn’t be possible," he continued. "Our wolves need her in a way that suggests something beyond the normal alpha-omega dynamic. Something beyond simple sexual possession. Something that I don’t understand, and something that I’m increasingly convinced is dangerous."

Sebastian’s expression shifted.

"You’re not suggesting....." he started, but Nicholas cut him off.

"I’m not suggesting anything," Nicholas said firmly. "I’m stating facts. Fact one: our wolves respond to her in abnormal ways. Fact two: when separated from her, they become subdued and dangerous. Fact three: when together with her, we lose all control and hurt her. Fact four: she’s wolfless, so she cannot be our true mate, which means this is something else entirely."

Lucian made a sound of frustration.

"So what does that mean?" he demanded. "What are we supposed to do? We keep her? We send her back damaged? We kill her to stop this from happening again?"

The suggestion hung in the air like poison.

Nicholas’s expression didn’t change, but something flickered in his silver eyes.

"No," he said quietly. "We wait. We wait until tomorrow morning. We wait for Agnes to report on her condition. And we hope...." He paused, and the word seemed to cost him something. "We hope that she recovers enough that we can return her to Shadowmere as agreed."

"And if she doesn’t?" Sebastian asked.

"Then we will figure out what to do," Nicholas said. "But for now, you both need to go to your rooms and rest. We will discuss what to do about the omega tomorrow morning when we have more information."

Sebastian didn’t move. He stood there, his body vibrating with tension, his eyes locked on Nicholas with an expression that suggested he wanted to argue. Wanted to fight. Wanted to do something other than accept this dismissal.

But then he turned toward the door. He didn’t wait for Lucian. Didn’t acknowledge his brothers. Just pushed the door open with enough force that it slammed against the wall, and he stalked out into the hallway.

Lucian watched him go, then looked back at Nicholas.

"This is going to end badly," Lucian said quietly. "Whatever this is, whatever she is, however our wolves are responding to her....this is going to end in a way that destroys us all."

Nicholas didn’t respond. He just turned back to the window and looked out at the darkening grounds, and his expression was the expression of a man who was beginning to understand that he couldn’t control everything. That sometimes, despite all of his strategy and all of his power, life had other plans.

Lucian turned and followed his brother out of the office, closing the door quietly behind him.
