Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: A Morvaine Witch Attacked The Estate

Lucian reached her first.

"Lilith...."

"I hurt them," she whispered. "I hurt her. I used magic I don’t even understand and I...." Her voice broke. "What if I had hit you instead? What if my power had gone toward you and Callum and..."

"You didn’t," Lucian said firmly. He grabbed her shoulders and made her look at him.

"You protected us. Your power knew the difference between threat and pack. You didn’t hurt us."

"But I could have," Lilith said. "I’m getting stronger and I don’t know how to control it and what if next time..."

The bond between her and Nicholas suddenly flared with alarm so intense it made her gasp.

He felt the attack. Even hours away, he felt it through the connection.

And he was coming back.

Callum moved to the broken doors and looked out at the grounds. Bodies of dark creatures lay scattered across the lawn....some killed by the Betas, some killed by Lilith’s power.

"We need to secure the perimeter," Callum said. "Make sure they’re really gone. Finn, Eli...with me. We sweep the territory."

"What about the Alphas?" Finn asked.

"They’re already on their way back," Lucian said. "I can feel Kael and Rhen in the bond. They’re running. They’ll be here within a few hours."

The three Betas headed outside, leaving Lucian and Lilith alone in the destroyed hall.

Lilith looked down at her hands. They had stopped glowing but she could still feel the power humming just beneath her skin. Stronger than it had been this morning. Stronger than it had been yesterday.

Growing.

"The curse is feeding my magic," she said quietly. "Isn’t it? The more the curse grows inside me, the more powerful I become."

"I don’t know," Lucian admitted.

"That woman....Thalia, she called me cousin. She’s family." Lilith looked up at him with tears burning in her eyes. "How many more of them are out there? How many more Morvaines survived the attack that I don’t know about?"

"Victoria will know," Lucian said. "When she gets here, we’ll ask her."

"If she gets here before Thalia comes back." Lilith wrapped her arms around herself. "That witch wants to use me. Wants to use my bond manipulation powers to ’reshape the world.’ What does that even mean?"

"Nothing good," Lucian said grimly.

Through the bonds, Lilith could feel Nicholas and Sebastian getting closer. Could feel their panic and rage and absolute determination to get back to her as fast as physically possible.

They would be here soon.

And then she would have to tell them about Thalia. About another threat. About the fact that she was not just caught between the Alphas and Victoria anymore.

There was a third player in this game.

And unlike Victoria who wanted to save her, Thalia wanted to use her.

***

Lilith looked at the destruction around them....the broken doors, the scorched floor, the bodies outside and felt the weight of everything crushing down on her.

The curse inside her growing stronger.

Her power exploding beyond her control.

Her aunt’s deadline expiring in hours.

And now a corrupted Morvaine witch who wanted to turn her into a weapon.

How much more could she survive before something broke?

She didn’t know.

Nicholas’s POV

"Faster," Nicholas pushed through the mindlink to Sebastian.

"I’m trying," Rhen responded. "We’re still two hours out."

"What happened back there?" Sebastian asked.

"I don’t know. But we’re about to find out." Nicholas replied.

*One hour and forty-seven minutes later*
