Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: The First Wet Dream

The thought made Rhen howl so violently that Sebastian actually gasped.

"Then we suffer," Sebastian said quietly. "For however long it takes. Until she understands. Until she’s ready."

Lucian stood there for a moment, visibly wrestling with Zev. The wolf wanted out. Wanted to run. Wanted to find her and drag her back to the estate and force the bond into completion.

But Lucian held the line.

"How long?" he asked finally.

"I don’t know," Sebastian said. "Days. Weeks. Months. Years."

The thought of years without her made Rhen whimper inside his chest.

Lucian turned and left the garden, his movements jerky and uncontrolled. Heading back toward the training grounds, probably. To run off some of Zev’s desperate energy.

Sebastian remained on the bench.

The sun was higher now, warming the air slightly. The garden smelled like winter, cold soil, evergreen plants, the faint scent of frost. Nothing like Lilith. Nothing that could comfort Rhen.

He closed his eyes and felt the weight of the incomplete bond.

Three pieces of a four-piece puzzle. Broken. Waiting. Suffering.

The bond had formed during her time at the estate....a slow, insidious thing that had caught all of them by surprise. The first time he’d held her while she was panicking, the first time Nicholas had comforted her, the first time Lucian’s wolf had recognized her as theirs. Small moments that had accumulated into something neither of them could deny.

But she didn’t know. She’d left thinking it was just a contract. Sixteen days of being at their disposal. She didn’t understand that they’d bonded with her, that she was woven into their very DNA now, that every moment without her felt like drowning.

Rhen surged against his skin, desperate and furious.

Sebastian made him sit still.

This was what it meant to be bonded to someone who was completely unaware of the bond. To wait in agony for them to figure it out.

And the worst part was that there was no guarantee she ever would.

She might spend the rest of her life thinking the Blackwood brothers had simply used her and discarded her. She might move on to someone else. She might live and die without ever understanding that she was the missing piece of their souls.

Sebastian opened his eyes and looked at the empty garden.

The thought made him want to scream.

But screaming wouldn’t bring her back. Suffering wouldn’t change anything. The only thing they could do was wait.

Wait and endure the slow agony of the incomplete bond.

Wait and hope that eventually, somehow, she would understand.

Wait and survive one day at a time until she came back to them.
