Alpha Daddies And Their Innocent Little Maid (18+) novel Chapter 134

134/They are lying.

Lilith pov

The tension in the room thickened.

I frowned as everything spiraled further out of control.

So he really knew about the attack and didn’t help?

Could it really be that he-

I shook my head.

There was no way Kael could have committed treason or sided with the rogues.

I knew him.

Kael could be many things, a cheater, an idiot, a people-pleaser but he wasn’t evil.

Even though he didn’t love me, even though he cheated on me with his mate and turned out to be gay in the end, he had still been there for me when my father died. He couldn’t side with something so vile.

Just as my mind struggled to process everything happening, a sharp, high-pitched voice sliced through the air, loud and filled with fury. I didn’t even need to look to know who it was.

“Liar! The bastard is lying, Alphas!”

Everyone turned toward Seraphina as she screamed, still hiding behind Kael. Her face was pale, her eyes wild as they darted from the cab driver to me before she pointed a trembling finger in my direction.

“Alphas, they’re both lying! We didn’t receive any note. Kael didn’t know the pack was under attack. Yes, this bitch hired the man to slander us!” she shrieked. “She’s doing this because she’s jealous. She’s jealous that Kael picked me, Alphas!”

Her voice shook with panic, and almost immediately, every gaze in the room shifted to me.

The Alphas’ expressions were cold and unreadable. Samuel’s lips tilted into a faint smile. Verya raised a brow. Lucas, the Alpha of the Bloodthorn Pack, who hadn’t shown a single emotion until now, tilted his head slightly. And the elders watched with open curiosity.

Not because they doubted what the cab driver and I had said, the evidence was already clear. From what I’d heard earlier, Kael’s mother had practically admitted they hadn’t believed the note. But of course, Seraphina, oblivious as ever, had failed to read the room and decided to shift the blame onto me.

My expression didn’t change in the slightest as she continued, glaring at me with pure, unrestrained hatred.

“Is that so? They’re both lying?” Lucien repeated, speaking for the first time. The cigar hung loosely from his lips as his gaze flickered toward her, his eyes turning noticeably colder, the shift subtle but deadly.

Claude.

In an instant, his aura erupted, his deep growl cutting through the tension, his eyes flashing brighter than usual, rage radiating from him. The force of it made the entire room tremble.

“How dare you!!”

He thundered.

Everyone froze.

The air itself seemed to shiver. The aura surged toward the pregnant Seraphina, ready to fling her aside but before it could reach her, Kael moved. Fast. Too fast.

He lunged forward, throwing himself in front of her, taking the brunt of Claude’s force. The impact slammed him against the wall with a bone-jarring thud, carving a deep dent into it. He crumpled to the ground, blood pooling beneath him as a strangled grunt escaped his lips.

My breath hitched. My heart pounded so hard I thought it might burst. Kael’s parents screamed, and Seraphina shrieked simultaneously, their voices echoing in terror.

“Kael!!!”
