139/What?!
Lilith pov
“Haha! This is so funny, so hilarious. I’m dying of laughter, oh goddess.”
Dravena’s laughter echoed through my mind as she lounged lazily on her throne, feet swinging in the air, hands clutching her stomach, eyes squeezed shut as she laughed for goddess knew for how long. Probably from the very moment Seraphina had said those words until now.
It had been exactly twenty minutes since it happened.
Twenty minutes since Seraphina had boldly announced that Kael wasn’t the father of her child.
The first emotion had been shock.
That was what Kael and his family felt all at once.
Eyes wide. Mouths parted. Sharp intakes of breath. Hearts skipping, bodies going rigid and cold.
They were completely dumbfounded.
As if a bucket of icy water had been dumped over them. No one reacted. No one spoke. I was certain they couldn’t, not while they stared at Seraphina, half-expecting her to laugh, to say it was a joke, to claim she’d spoken out of anger and hadn’t meant it.
But she didn’t.
Her expression never changed.
A sneer was etched onto her lips as she stared them down, her eyes narrowed into a sharp glare fixed on Kael and his family, eyes that called them idiots without her having to say it out loud.
The first to react was Dravena. That girl…
“Pfft… no fucking way.”
She had burst into laughter and didn’t stop, her loud, mocking cackle echoing relentlessly in my head.
Then came Claude.
Just like Dravena, he threw his head back and laughed openly, as if the twist before him was the most entertaining thing he had seen in a long while. Even Samuel joined in, not as loudly, but he covered his mouth as he chuckled, shaking his head in utter disbelief.
Lucien and Silas, on the other hand, didn’t change their expressions in the slightest. Yet beneath their cold exteriors, there was a faint glint of amusement in their gazes as they watched the scene unfold.
Verya and Lucas, the two Alphas who had remained silent from the beginning, turned to look at each other, as if sharing the same thought, that the Fangspire pack was truly something else.
As for the elders, their earlier enthusiasm died instantly, shock washing over their faces.
But it was Kael who bore the most pain. The most devastation.
He blinked, clearly unable to process the words yet, until his mother, her voice nearly broken, asked if what Seraphina had said was true.
And Seraphina, that insufferable girl nodded.
She didn’t hesitate.
“Your son is useless,” she said coldly. “He isn’t even good in bed and couldn’t get me pregnant. I’ve been managing him for so long, but he’s pathetic. I really don’t understand what Lilith ever saw in him. Your son is trash.”
And that was it.
Kael’s mother snapped.
“You bitch!!”
She lunged forward, pinning Seraphina to the ground, her fists tangling in her hair as she struck her again and again, screaming as the hall erupted into chaos,
Literally.
At that moment, Kael’s mother saw nothing but red. She kept punching Seraphina relentlessly, while Seraphina tried, truly tried to push her off. But against that kind of fury, she was no match, Soon, she began shouting for help, crying that she was pregnant.
No one moved.
Not a single person stood up to stop it. And, if I was being honest, I was no different.
Kael’s mother wasn’t exactly aiming for her stomach either, she deliberately targeted Seraphina’s face, her fists landing again and again. Kael and his father only knelt there, watching in a daze, frozen in shock.
But before it could escalate any further, Silas finally stood. His voice cut cleanly through the chaos as he declared the meeting over and ordered the guards to take Kael and his family, including the pregnant Seraphina, to the cells.
Then he turned to me.
His gaze was sharp, commanding, as he ordered me to come to the study with him and his brothers.
And that was how I ended up here.
In the study.
Standing before Silas, Lucien, and Claude, all three seated opposite me, their penetrating gazes fixed on me in a way that sent a shiver down my spine.
Silas was completely emotionless, legs crossed as he leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed but authoritative.
Lucien’s gaze was cold, a cigar hanging loosely between his lips, unlit. Instead of lighting it, his thumb idly toyed with the lighter, clicking it softly, his eyes never leaving me.
And then there was Claude.
He watched me with a faint smirk, long blond hair falling casually over his face. His feet were propped up on the desk, his posture relaxed, fingers lazily stroking his bottom lip as his gaze roamed over me, slow and deliberate.
My heart pounded violently. My palms grew slick with sweat.
My body reacted in ways it never had before.
And it wasn’t just them who were here.
Samuel was there too, perched casually on the edge of the desk beside Claude. His eyes stayed on me, the corner of his lips curved into a faint smirk as he idly bounced an apple in his hand, playing with it like this was all entertainment.
Despite how nervous I was, Dravena was different. She kept laughing, completely unbothered, as if she didn’t care or wasn’t worried in the slightest, about why the Alphas had summoned us specifically.
“That’s what my father taught me. Save those who need saving. Protect those who need protection. Help those who can’t help themselves. That’s the basics of being human. I couldn’t ignore what I saw yesterday.”
I lowered my head, their gazes heavy on my skin.
“That’s why I chose to go to the packhouse.”
I kept it brief. Something told me they already knew Dravena was the reason the other maids were alive. That should have been the question. Even if my father had trained me, I shouldn’t have been able to kill rogues like that.
But they didn’t ask.
Why?
My thoughts were spiraling when Silas hummed softly.
“I see.”
The words felt distant, as though he couldn’t truly comprehend what I had said. None of them could. They didn’t value human lives the way I did. They were ruthless, lethal but they protected their pack all the same,
just not for the same reasons.
Then Silas spoke again.
“Then tell me, Lilith…”
His voice trailed off, and I waited for the rest of the question, my heart pounding harder with every passing second as my mind raced through what he might ask next.
Do you have a wolf?
Why did you lie about being wolfless?
Nothing would have surprised me. I swear it wouldn’t have.
But I hadn’t
expected this.
“Do you want to be our beta?”
I froze.
My body went rigid, my breath catching in my throat as my eyes widened and snapped back up to the men before me. My mind scrambled, desperately trying to process whether I had heard him right at all.
But his expression… His brothers’ expressions…
They were serious.
Wait.
What?!
