Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95: The Pack Will Be Holding A Major Fuction

"Lilith," Emma said. "Dora called an emergency assembly. Everyone needs to be at the facility by 8 AM instead of the usual 9 AM. Something’s happening."

Lilith nodded slowly, processing the information. Emergency assembly. Early start. Something important.

"Okay," she said. "Thank you for telling me."

"Are you alright?" Emma asked, concern flickering across her face. "You look...."

"I’m fine," Lilith said, cutting her off gently. "Just didn’t sleep well. I’ll be there by 8 AM."

Emma nodded, though her expression suggested she didn’t entirely believe that Lilith was fine. But she didn’t push. She simply turned and left.

Lilith closed the door and stood in the darkness of her apartment for a moment.

She had maybe forty minutes to pull herself together enough to be presentable. Forty minutes to drag her exhausted body through a shower and into work clothes. Forty minutes to appear functional when she felt like she was falling apart.

She moved to the communal bathroom.

The water was cold, it was always cold in omega housing, the pack not bothering to waste resources on heating water for omegas. She splashed it on her face, gasping at the shock of it.

The cold was grounding. Real. It pulled her back into her body and away from the phantom sensations of hands that weren’t there, mouths that weren’t touching her, bodies moving against her in ways that existed only in her subconscious.

She closed her eyes under the spray.

Immediately, gold eyes flashed in the darkness behind her eyelids. Lucian’s wolf. Zev. Watching her. Waiting for her.

Lilith’s eyes snapped open.

She forced herself to look at the cold water cascading from the showerhead. Forced herself to keep her eyes open. Forced herself to focus on the physical sensation of cold water against her skin rather than the phantom touch of three alphas invading her dreams.

But even as she washed, she couldn’t shake the feeling.

The dreams were becoming more vivid. More real. More consuming. Every time she allowed herself to drift, they were waiting. And her body, her traitorous, confused body...responded to them like they were essential. Like they were necessary for her survival.

It was driving her insane.

By the time she finished the shower, her teeth were chattering from the cold. Her body was covered in goosebumps. But she was awake. More awake than she’d been in days.

She dried off quickly and pulled on her work clothes...black pants, grey shirt, the standard omega uniform. She pulled her damp hair back in a braid and looked at herself in the small mirror.

The face that looked back at her was barely recognizable.

Dark circles under her eyes. Pale skin that suggested she hadn’t seen sunlight in weeks. A thinness to her features that hadn’t been there before. She looked hollowed out. Haunted. Like something was consuming her from the inside.

Because something was.

Lilith turned away from the mirror and headed toward the omega assembly facility.

***

The assembly area was a large open space used for announcements and group briefings. Roughly fifty omegas were gathered there, standing in loose clusters, talking quietly among themselves. They all had the same exhausted look that Lilith felt...tired, worn down, barely functional.
