Semua Bab The Alpha Kings Sacrificial Mate: Bab 161 - Bab 170

"I can't think when you're...." Lilith's words dissolved into a moan as Nicholas's fingers curled inside her and found that spot that made stars burst behind her eyes."That's the point," Nicholas said against her ear. "We don't want you thinking. We want you feeling. Feeling what we do to you. Feeling what you do to us.""When Victoria comes for you in three days," Lucian said, and his hand came up to wrap around her throat gently...not squeezing, just holding, "are you going to go with her?""I don't...fuck..." Lilith could barely form words as Nicholas's fingers worked inside her and Sebastian's hands tormented her breasts."Answer him," Nicholas commanded."I don't know!" Lilith sobbed. "I don't know what I'm going to do!""Then let us convince you," Sebastian said.And then everything happened at once.Nicholas lifted her like she weighed nothing, Sebastian's hands were pulling at her dress, and within seconds she was naked and being carried toward the stairs with all three of th

They were all silent for a moment, looking down at their mate lying unconscious between them with three fresh bond marks on her throat and power still crackling faintly beneath her skin."We need to talk to Dr. Aldric," Sebastian said finally. "Make sure she's really okay. And then we need to figure out what the fuck we're going to say to her when she wakes up.""And we need to prepare for Victoria," Nicholas added. "Because when she feels these bonds complete.....and she will feel them.....she's going to come for Lilith. And she's not going to ask nicely anymore."As if summoned by his words, a massive surge of magic exploded at the edge of the territory, powerful enough that all three brothers felt it through their connection to the pack.Alpha! Eli's panicked voice came through the mindlink. We have a situation at the northern border. There's a witch here. She's demanding to see you immediately. And she's threatening to burn the entire pack to the ground if you don't come to her ri

"Tell us," Nicholas commanded, his Alpha voice ringing through the clearing.Victoria met his gaze and smiled....sad and bitter and absolutely merciless."Look at you," she said quietly. "Pathetic animals who claimed a witch without understanding what you'd done. Who marked her and bound her and completed three bonds thinking it would save you.""Tell. Us." Sebastian's voice was shaking now."Fine." Victoria's power surged again and Nicholas felt the air become too heavy to breathe. "I'll tell you exactly what your precious curse requires. What it's always required. What every version of this curse has demanded since the Moon Goddess first created it."She paused and let the silence stretch."Any unfortunate girl who becomes mated to you will have to carry your curse. Become your sacrificial lamb. She has to DIE for your curse to break."The words fell into the clearing like stones into still water, sending ripples of shock and disbelief through every wolf present."No," Sebastian sai

Lucian's jaw tightened and she saw gold bleed into his eyes. "Because I was terrified. Because you kept saying you didn't know if you'd stay. Because it felt like you were going to leave with Victoria when she comes for you and I couldn't..." His voice broke. "I couldn't lose you. So I made sure you couldn't leave. And I hate myself for it."Lilith felt the bond surge between them, felt his absolute sincerity through the connection, and it made her even angrier because she could not even hate him properly when she could feel everything he was feeling."Where are Nicholas and Sebastian?" she asked."At the border. Dealing with Victoria."The name made Lilith's chest tighten. "Aunty Victoria came here?""She felt the bonds complete," Lucian said. "The power surge when I marked you....she felt it across the territory. She came to the border immediately demanding we hand you over.""And?""And Nicholas told her no."Lilith laughed bitterly. "Of course he did. Can't let the sacrificial lam

"We'll find it," Nicholas promised, even though he had no idea if that was true.Lilith nodded and then stood on shaking legs. "I need to shower. And eat. And process the fact that I'm apparently carrying a death curse inside me now.""Take your time," Nicholas said. "We're not going anywhere."Lilith walked toward the bathroom and then stopped at the door, looking back at him. "Nicholas?""Yes?""If we can't find another way," she said quietly. "If it really does come down to my death or your curse. Promise me you won't let me make a stupid heroic choice."Nicholas felt his chest tighten. "Lilith....""Promise me," she interrupted. "Promise me you won't let me sacrifice myself. Because I'm scared that when the time comes, I'll try to be noble. And I need you to stop me."Nicholas stood and crossed to her, pulling her into his arms one more time. "I promise. No noble sacrifices. No heroic deaths. We find another way or we face the curse together.""Together," Lilith repeated.And for
