Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Magdalene, Break the gates

*One hour and forty-seven minutes later*

Victoria stood at the gates of the Blackwood estate with twelve witches and warlocks at her back.

It was not the full strength of what the Morvaine coven used to be, that was lost forever, burned to ash fifteen years ago. But it was enough.

Magdalene stood to her right, ancient and powerful, her white hair braided with crystals that hummed with stored magic. Henrik was to her left, carrying the ritual tools needed to sever bonds. The other ten were younger witches and warlocks who had served the coven or owed Victoria their lives or their power.

Together they represented a force strong enough to break through whatever defenses the Blackwoods could muster.

Victoria looked at the estate and felt her rage crystallize.

The grounds were destroyed. Scorch marks everywhere. Bodies of dark creatures dissolving into black smoke. The front doors completely gone.

Evidence of the attack.

Evidence of Lilith fighting for her life while the Alphas were somewhere else.

"Magdalene," Victoria said quietly. "Break the gates."

The older witch stepped forward and raised both hands. Green magic gathered around her...old power, earth power, the kind that predated modern supernatural divisions and slammed into the main gates.

The wards screamed.

But they held.

"Again," Victoria commanded.

Magdalene hit them harder. The wards buckled but reformed.

A third strike. A fourth.

On the fifth strike, the wards shattered like glass and the gates swung open with a sound like breaking bones.

Victoria walked through.

Her coven followed in formation....six to her left, six to her right, all of them radiating enough power to make the air shimmer with heat.

Pack wolves appeared immediately.

They materialized from the shadows and the tree line and the estate itself, at least thirty of them in defensive positions, some already shifted into their wolf forms, others human but ready to shift at a moment’s notice. All of them positioned to block the path to the main house.

All of them prepared to die defending their territory.

Victoria would have admired their loyalty if she were not so angry.

She stopped twenty feet from the nearest wolves and let her power pulse outward, a wave of magical pressure that made every wolf flinch even if they did not understand why.

When she spoke, her voice carried across the grounds with magical amplification, reaching every ear on the estate whether they wanted to hear her or not.

"Stand aside," Victoria said. "I’m not here for your pack. I’m here for my niece."
