Alpha Daddies And Their Innocent Little Maid (18+) novel Chapter 132

132/He hadn’t believed me.

Lilith pov

Kael might be fired and executed.

That was what Lora had said when she burst into the room with frantic steps, her eyes wide with shock as she delivered the news-news that left both Theila and me stunned.

Were the Alphas really going to kill their beta?

But why?

The reason was obvious.

Kael had been nowhere to be found during the rogue attack yesterday. He was the beta of the pack, left in charge while the Alphas were away for this very reason, to protect the pack, the packhouse included.

And yet he hadn’t.

Countless lives had been lost because of it. Lives that could have been saved, or at least fewer lost, if he had been there to take charge and fight back.

After I had tried to reach him and sent the cab driver with a handwritten message warning that the packhouse was under attack, I had completely forgotten about him in the chaos of yesterday.

Now that I thought about it, why hadn’t he come at all? Had the driver failed to deliver the message? Even the Alphas, who had been far away, had returned, yet Kael hadn’t shown up.

For a brief moment, a bitter thought crossed my mind.

If Father had still been the beta, more than five lives wouldn’t have been lost.

The corners of my lips curved into a frown as I walked with Theila and Lora by my sides, my steps slow, my gaze unfocused as we headed toward the dining area where the Alphas were having breakfast.

After Lora’s announcement, she added that everyone was already downstairs, the Alphas, including Alpha Verya and Alpha Lucas, along with some pack elders, the evil ugly bitch (Seraphina), as she called her, and Kael’s parents too.

They were on their knees, begging for their son’s life.

And apparently, the Alphas had asked to see me.

When I heard that Kael’s parents were there, I felt my chest tighten. I really didn’t want to go, especially because of his mother.

Back when I had still been dating Kael, she had changed completely after my father’s death. Her once kind smile had twisted into a sneer. She berated me endlessly, made my relationship with Kael a living hell.

She had gone out of her way to remind me of my place. That her son being with me was nothing more than pity. There were times she deliberately dragged me to her gatherings, despite knowing I didn’t want to go, just so the people there could shame me openly.

Her words were always the same.

“My son, the beta, is so kind. This girl is practically a charity case now, and yet he still wants to be with her. Hmph. I can’t even get him to leave her. But if he loves her, what can I do?”

She would say it loudly, sweetly, making Kael look noble, then turn around and try to matchmake him with every eligible woman in the room.

To be honest, I still carried trauma from her.

It wasn’t physical.

It was emotional.

Kael’s father wasn’t as cruel, but he wasn’t innocent either. Though it was clear he was happy that the beta position had passed to his family after my father’s death, he never said it outright.

As long as I “knew my place,” he tolerated me. Still, he often sided with Kael’s mother, that Kael deserved better, that his children shouldn’t be wolfless like me. He had even once advised Kael to take me as his mistress and

marry someone more suitable.

I really didn’t want to see them.

Before I realized it, a sigh slipped from my lips.

Theila’s voice cut through my thoughts, gentle but laced with concern.

“Are you okay, Lilith?” she asked, making me stop and look at her. Her brows were furrowed as she leaned closer and whispered,

“Are you scared?”

I blinked, about to respond, when a panicked voice echoed through the packhouse-loud, trembling, desperate.

“P-please, Alphas… please spare our son. H-he really didn’t know. W-we didn’t know the message was true. Please don’t kill him!”

I recognized that voice instantly.

Kael’s mother.

My brows furrowed at her words, but before I could fully process them, Lora leaned closer and whispered urgently,

“See? I told you. They really want to kill him, especially Alpha Lucien. He almost raised his claws to end him right there, but Alpha Silas stopped him—”

“Shh.”

Theila cut her off sharply, eyes narrowing as she shot Lora a stern look. Lora immediately snapped her mouth shut and leaned back, half-hiding behind me.

Theila turned to me then, her voice steady but firm.

“You don’t have to be scared, Lilith. The Alphas won’t hurt you. You saved the packhouse yesterday. The Alphas are not the kind to repay kindness with cruelty. You should go, you can’t keep them waiting any longer.”

She nodded at me.

Even though I wasn’t truly scared, just nervous about what was about to unfold, I nodded back and forced a small smile. Then I turned forward and, without hesitating any longer, began walking toward the stairs.

My heart pounded harder with every step.

I swallowed, rubbing my hands against my dress as I descended, each step carrying me closer to whatever awaited below.

As I reached the bottom, the scene before me slowly came into focus, the long dining table, surrounded by faces both familiar and unfamiliar. Some I recognized immediately.

Others, not at all.

The Alphas were there. Lucien. Silas. Claude.

They sat at the head of the table. No one was eating-well, no one except Claude.

Lucien and Silas sat rigid, their expressions carved from stone, lips pressed into tight lines, eyes cold and unreadable. Yet beneath that calm surface, the anger was unmistakable, simmering, restrained.

Claude, on the other hand, looked entirely unfazed. The bruises he should have had were gone, his face fully healed as he ate casually, as if nothing of importance was happening, as if the tension filling the room didn’t exist at all.

Verya and Lucas were there too, the Alphas who had gone to war with the triplets. Around them sat people I didn’t recognize, likely the pack elders.

And then there was him.

A man seated beside Claude, posture relaxed, a small smirk playing on his lips, his eyes glittering with amusement as he observed the scene like it was nothing more than entertainment.

I knew him.

Dr. Samuel.

My mother’s doctor.

The man from yesterday.

Even the elders seated at the table looked taken aback. I knew why.

A lowly servant like me was being allowed to sit next to the Alpha.

Curious gazes turned toward me, followed by hushed whispers as they leaned toward one another, their voices carrying faintly through the air.

“Is it her?”

“The late Beta Jayden’s daughter?”

“The girl who tried to warn the beta about the rogue attack?”

I didn’t dare hesitate in such a tense atmosphere. Lowering my head, I answered quietly,

“Yes… Alpha Silas.”

I took a deep breath, then under everyone’s watchful eyes, reached out and carefully sat in the seat beside him. My mind struggled to catch up with what was happening, with why I was even here.

Then Silas spoke again, his voice still dry, still eerily empty.

“Lilith, do you know this man?”

I lifted my head and followed his gaze to the cab driver. I blinked in confusion, especially as I noticed Kael’s parents staring at me intently, as though silently wanting me to deny it.

I didn’t.

Lowering my head, I answered honestly.

“Yes, Alpha Silas. I know him. Yesterday, during the rogue attack, I sent him to deliver a message to Beta Kael about the attack.”

As I spoke, relief washed over the cab driver’s battered face.

Kael’s mother sobbed harder at my words, her body trembling violently. Kael himself finally lifted his head, meeting my gaze with sheer terror, his eyes filled with guilt and fear.

Still trying to understand what was unfolding, I tensed as Silas drawled again.

“I see.”

He hummed softly, then turned his attention to the cab driver.

“Tell us again what you said earlier. What happened when you delivered the message to Kael?”

At once, the man trembled and dropped to the ground, pressing his forehead against the floor as he cried out, his voice shaking but desperate.

“A-Alpha… this lowly one truly went to the beta’s mansion yesterday to deliver the message, just as the miss instructed. But as soon as I arrived, the woman who calls herself the beta’s mate slapped me and said the note was a lie, because it came from the miss. The beta’s mother ordered others to beat me for spreading false news about a rogue attack, even though I insisted I had seen it, that the packhouse was being attacked. No one believed me. No one even tried to check the situation. They said it was just her attempt to get the beta’s attention… and the beta, the beta was there, watching it all happen.”

His voice broke, tears spilling freely.

“A-Alpha, please believe me. This truly happened. I had tried my best to tell the beta but despite knowing he didn’t believe me enough to check, he did nothing and I was thrown out unconscious.”

My eyes widened as his words sank in. Instinctively, my gaze snapped to Kael, disbelief crashing through me as I realized the truth.

Yesterday, he had received the note.

But he hadn’t come.

All because the note had come from me.

All because he thought I was lying.

And due to that reason, many people had died.
