Sacrificed To The Triplet Alpha Kings novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334: We Don’t Have Time

Nicholas watched Victoria’s face carefully as he answered. "Lilith can surrender her magic instead of her life. Burn out every drop of Morvaine power in her blood and offer it to the Moon Goddess as payment for breaking the curse."

The silence that followed was absolute.

Then Victoria laughed...high and bitter and furious.

"No," she said. "Absolutely not."

"It would save her life..." Sebastian started.

"It would DESTROY her!" Victoria’s power exploded outward, making the ground shake. Several wolves yelped and backed away. "You’re asking her to give up her birthright. Her heritage. Her connection to every Morvaine witch who came before her. She is the LAST of our bloodline. The last witch who carries our ancestral power. And you want her to burn it out of herself to save YOU?"

"It’s her choice," Nicholas said carefully.

"It’s NOT a choice!" Victoria screamed. "It’s coercion! You’ve bonded her. Made her love you. Twisted her emotions until she can’t think clearly. And now you’re presenting her with the option to sacrifice everything she is to save you. That’s not a choice. That’s manipulation."

"We’re not manipulating her," Lucian growled.

"Aren’t you?" Victoria challenged. "The bonds are designed to make her want to please you. To make her prioritize your wellbeing over her own. Every instinct she has is screaming at her to save her mates even if it costs her everything. How is that a fair choice?"

Nicholas opened his mouth to argue but stopped. Because Victoria was right. The mate bonds did make Lilith prioritize them. Did make her want to save them even at her own expense. It was biological. Instinctual. Impossible to fight.

"So what do you suggest?" Nicholas asked quietly.

"I suggest you let her go," Victoria said. "Sever the bonds. Let her choose her own path without the biological imperative to sacrifice herself for you clouding her judgment."

"Severing the bonds would kill her," Sebastian said.

"Not if it’s done properly," Victoria said. "Henrik has tools. Rituals. Ways to cut the connections without causing fatal trauma."

"And then what?" Lucian demanded. "She lives the rest of her life alone? Human and powerless because she gave up her magic? Or still magical but traumatized by severed bonds? Either way she loses."

"But she LIVES," Victoria said. "Don’t you understand? Alive and alone is better than dead. Alive and human is better than dead. Any version of her surviving is better than what you’re offering her now."

"ENOUGH!"

Lilith’s voice cracked across the grounds and everyone went silent.

She stood between Victoria and the Alphas, shaking with rage and fear and absolute exhaustion, and she was done.

Done with everyone talking about her like she was not standing right there.

Done with people making plans for her future without asking what she wanted.
