Alpha Daddies And Their Innocent Little Maid (18+) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

Lilith pov

The entire place fell into a stunned silence, so thick you could hear a pin drop. Every eye was on me, wide and unblinking, mouths slightly agape, breaths held as I was wrapped in Claude’s arms, staring down the three men before me. They couldn’t have been more different from one another, yet each wore the same expression: pride.

Not because I had defeated the men as Lilith. But pride because I had done it as their beta. Pride because I had proven that they had made the right choice. Even though I knew they didn’t really care about anyone else’s opinions, there was a faint flicker of satisfaction in their eyes.

My heart raced as my mind tried to wrap around what I had just done, what Drevana, grinning from ear to ear, was eagerly urging me to do next: fight the elders.

But before I could even think, Silas spoke.

“So… does anyone here have anything else to say about our choie?”

He pulled his hand from my hair, and I watched him turn as Claude gently lowered me to the ground, then faced the crowd with a sly, predatory grin.

“Yeah,” Claude added, tilting his head toward the elders, smirking. “If you have something to say, why don’t you step up? Hm? How about we call those whose sons aren’t here so they can come fight the little wolf? Surely, since she is a woman, your strong boys can take her on, right?”

The elders’ faces went pale. Some glanced helplessly at the men sprawled on the ground, unconscious, while their fathers frantically tried to wake them. After a tense moment, it was clear they weren’t calling anyone. Their earlier smug expressions had vanished.

Claude’s grin widened. He scoffed, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Pussies.”

The elders’ faces flushed red almost immediately, especially as whispers rippled through the crowd.

“I can’t believe no one could even touch her. They didn’t land a single punch! Isn’t she… wolfless?”

“Right? Maybe their sons are weak and just pretending. But honestly, I’m not surprised, she is Beta Jayden’s daughter, after all. That man was known as the strongest beta.”

Something inside me bloomed at their words. For the first time since my father’s death, I felt like I had truly made him proud. But I didn’t dwell on it, didn’t mock the elders. After all, they were the backbone of this pack.

Before anyone could react, I walked past the Alphas, their gazes sharp on me. I stepped closer to the elders, who watched with wary eyes, likely expecting aggression but I did something unexpected. I lowered my head slightly, my voice calm yet carrying through the hall, and everyone froze in surprise.

“I understand that you might not want me in this position,” I began, lifting my gaze slowly to meet theirs, eyes catching the flicker of shock in their expressions. “But I promise to be a beta that earns everyone’s trust. A beta that everyone looks up to. A beta that puts the safety of the pack first. A beta that is willing to die for the pack without hesitation.”

As soon as I said those last words, the elders’ expressions shifted A flicker of something, like they were staring at someone else entirely and for a brief moment, one of them whispered shakily,

“Jayden…”

Then, I realized..

It was as if they were seeing my father right there in me. I drew a sharp breath and turned slightly toward the crowd. letting their attention rest on me. “I promise to become a beta that fosters unity, strength, and loyalty across every corner of this pack.”

They watched in silence. Finally, I turned back to Lucien, Silas. and Claude, holding their gazes. “A beta that helps the Alphas build a strong, stable pack. I, Lilith, swear this by the moon goddess’ name.”

As soon as the words left my lips, Silas cracked a smile, Claude’s grin widened, and Lucien, a tiny, almost imperceptible smile, curved his lips. I caught it, and for that brief moment, I felt something warm inside.

I lowered my head and bowed, a gesture of respect carrying the full weight of my promise. The hall remained silent… until a loud thud rang out.

“We welcome the new beta, Beta Lilith, into the position!”

I turned sharply to see one of the elders kneeling, his voice firm as it echoed through the hall. One by one, the others followed. Thud, thud-each elder fell to one knee, then the other, their voices ringing together.

“We welcome the new beta, Beta Lilith, into the position!”

I stared in disbelief. The men who had opposed me only moments ago were now kneeling before me, their words genuine. They had truly accepted me into the position.

And not just them…

“We welcome the new beta, Beta Lilith, into the position!”

I turned again, seeing the crowd, one after another, drop to their knees. My heart pounded so hard, I thought it might burst. And then…

“I am proud of you, Lilith. I have always been proud of you.”

A voice-a whisper brushed past my ears, soft and fleeting, gone in an instant.
