Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: We Will Be Sending You Back To Your Mother

The moment he did, Lilith felt the pull to follow him, to move toward the one brother who had been gentle with her, But Nicholas’s presence in the room was like gravity....heavy, inescapable, terrifying in a way she couldn’t articulate.

She stayed where she was, her head down, her hands clasped in front of her.

Nicholas stood from his chair and walked toward her. His footsteps were measured, controlled, each one deliberate and slow. When he reached her, he stopped close enough that she could feel the heat radiating from his body.

"Lilith," he said, and the sound of her name in his voice was almost her undoing.

She kept her head down.

"Look at me."

She lifted her gaze to his face. His silver eyes were cold, analytical, but there was something underneath that coldness...something that looked almost like regret.

"We will be sending you back to your mother," Nicholas said, his voice steady and absolute. "This weekend."

The words took a moment to process.

When they did, Lilith’s head snapped up.

"Why?" The word came out sharp with panic. "Did I do something wrong?"

Her eyes were darting between the three brothers now, looking for some kind of explanation, some hint of what had triggered this. Was it because she had fainted? Was it because of what had happened that day in the office?

"Was it because of what happened the other day?" Her voice was shaking now, the panic rising higher in her chest. Her eyes were beginning to water, tears threatening to spill over. "I’m sorry I fainted. I’m sorry I blacked out."

Sebastian’s jaw clenched at her words. Lucian made a sound....something between a curse and a groan that he covered by turning away.

Lilith was full-on panicking now. Without thinking, without planning, her hands went to the zipper at the back of her dress.

"Please punish me instead," she said, her voice fracturing. "Please don’t send me back before the end of the 30 days agreement."

The zipper slid down. Cold air hit the bare skin of her back and she didn’t stop.

"Let me repay the debt," she continued, tears streaming down her face now, her hands fumbling with the fabric. "Because if I don’t... if I don’t complete it..."

Nicholas’s expression shifted. A flash of something dark and pained crossed his features, but he didn’t move to stop her.

Lilith pulled the dress away from her shoulders.

"I know what you will do to my pack," she whispered, her voice breaking completely. "I know what you will do to my mother. So please... please let me complete it. I promise I won’t faint again."

She was nearly half-undressed now, moving with the frantic desperation of someone trying to offer everything they had as payment for a chance to save the people they loved. Her skin was exposed, her vulnerability on full display, and she didn’t care. She would offer this. She would offer anything.
