Lilith pov
Have you ever met someone and felt… off? Not just uncomfortable, but like something about them was wrong?
You haven’t even spoken a word, haven’t interacted at all, yet there’s a strange vibe you can’t shake.
That was exactly what I felt as I stared at the people before me.

The blue-haired man, the twins, and the long-haired man-all of them staring at me, all smiling, except the long-haired man, whose face remained unreadable, expressionless. As the blue-haired man stretched his hand toward me, I heard Dravena’s voice purr in my head.
“Oh… they are strong. Very strong.”
For the first time, aside from the Alphas, she had acknowledged someone’s strength. Of course, she added those smug words
“But of course, I could take them all at once. They are not nearly as strong as the Alphas, but stronger than most I’ve seen.” she said, leaning against her seat, legs crossed, a grin playing on her lips, that familiar glint in her eyes. She was basically calling everyone weak, but the people before her… were just strong enough to pique her interest.
“Can I play with them?” she asked next, and I couldn’t help a disbelieving scoff slipping out before I realized. Just as I was about to say of course not, someone spoke-
Not the blue-haired man.
One of the twins, the one beside him.
“Seems like the new beta doesn’t want to shake your hand, George,” she purred, her lips curving into a smile. For a brief moment, I couldn’t help but notice how striking she was. She and her twin were almost frighteningly beautiful.
“Maybe she’s just shy,” the other twin chimed in, her expression perfectly mirroring her sister’s.
The blue-haired man, George, was about to pull his hand back apologetically.
“Apologies, I didn’t-”
Before he could finish, I instinctively reached out and took his hand, plastering a tight, polite smile on my lips.
“No, I apologize. I was carried away. Nice to meet you, and thank you,” I said, keeping my tone measured, though I couldn’t hide the faint frown that curved my lips as our hands met. His smile widened, and the next second, he wrapped his hand around mine in a firm handshake. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except the shiver that instinctively ran through me when our skin touched.
It wasn’t fear. It was something else.
Bloodlust.
The aura of a man who had taken too many lives. Similar to the alphas, but different.
“Nice to meet you, Beta Lilith. My name is George, and this is my mate, Isla,” he said as he released my hand, gesturing to the girl beside him.
Isla’s grin widened, her movements almost serene as she reached out and clasped my hand before I could even react.
“Nice to finally meet you, Beta Lilith. I’ve heard so much about you,” she purred, and then, almost as suddenly, released my
hand.

George continued, gesturing toward the other twin.
“And this is-”

“Ivy,” the woman cut him off, a sly grin on her face as she mirrored her sister’s earlier movement, shaking my hand.
“I’ve heard about you too, Beta Lilith. Especially how you managed to save the packhouse from the rogue attacks, so courageous. I didn’t know someone wolfless could be this strong she said, and I froze, realizing the news of Dravena’s actions had already spread.
I plastered my tight smile and muttered awkwardly,
“Erm, thank you.”
She smirked and released my hand just as George introduced the last person.
“And this is Leo, Ivy’s mate.”
At the announcement, Ivy’s face twisted with surprise and faint disgust, as if she were hearing it for the first time. She shot George a sharp glare, while he barely suppressed a laugh and her twin smirked beside him.
It looked like she wanted to argue, but she swallowed the words back.
“Yeah, yeah. He’s my mate,” Ivy spat, teeth gritted.
Leo didn’t react at all. His head dipped lower, dark hair falling over his face as he remained silent, a heavy, suffocating aura clinging to him, not moving to shake my hand.
I let out a quiet breath of relief. Of the four, he was the one whose presence felt the darkest, the one I truly did not want to shake hands with.
“It’s… really nice to meet you all,” I said, gently pulling my hand back, already searching for a polite way to slip away.
I didn’t want to be rude, but out of all the guests who had tried to approach me today, these were the ones who made me the most uncomfortable. Something about them felt… off. Too sharp Too watchful.
I was just about to excuse myself when George spoke again.
“It’s really nice to meet you too,” he said smoothly. “We’re not from around here. We actually came here to see you in particular. We all wanted to meet the first woman beta of the Fangspire pack, the one who managed to slaughter all those rogues.”
My brows furrowed before I could stop myself.
That was the second time they had mentioned the packhouse incident. Their tone wasn’t horrified or cautious like the others’. No… they sounded impressed.
Why?
“I see…” I replied slowly, forcing a polite nod despite the unease rawling up my spine. “May I ask where you are from?”
Before George could answer, Isla lifted the glass of wine in her hand, swirling the dark red liquid lazily as she stared at me with a soft chuckle.
“Somewhere far away,” she said lightly. “Very far away.”
Ivy turned to glance at her twin with an amused smirk, as if sharing some private joke.
My confusion deepened. I didn’t think it was a good idea to stay round them, not only because of the bad energy but also

because of Drevana.
The hungry wolf was already calculating which one to pounce of first, so I drew in a breath and spoke.
“I should excuse-”
“Whoops.”
The word slipped from Isla’s lips, far too calm to be accidental.
The next second, the glass tilted.
Red wine splashed forward in a slow, deliberate arc, straight toward me.

And as it did, everything seemed to slow. I caught the faint twinkle in their eyes as they watched carefully, almost eagerly, to see if I would dodge it or not.
I could.
But something didn’t feel right. It was as if they were trying to figure something out, whether I would move in that last instant before the wine reached me.
They wanted to test my reflexes?
No… they wanted to confirm if I had a wolf.
A truly wolfless person, no matter how fast, wouldn’t possess such frightening speed.
Something told me they already had their suspicions and only wanted confirmation and in that case…
Splash!
I didn’t move. I allowed it to spill over me, even though in that split second I could have easily stepped away.
The warm liquid slid down my face and dress. I drew in a slow breath and lifted my gaze to Isla, who tilted her head slightly. Most people around us had turned in shock, but I kept my eyes #xed solely on the four of them, who were watching, calculating while the room quietly observed.
Then, the next second…
“Oh my, Isla, why would you make such a mistake and spill wine on the Beta?” George said, putting on a perfectly feigned look of shock as he turned to his mate.
Isla’s lips curved into a faint smirk before she quickly covered her mouth, feigning remorse.
“Oh goddess, I apologize. It was truly a mistake.”
People around us began to whisper, their gazes darting betweens as if waiting to see how I would react.
But I simply offered a small smile and shook my head.
“Of course, it’s fine. It was a mistake after all. Please excuse me, I will go change.”
As I turned, I caught the brief flicker of amusement that passed Between the twins and the blue-haired man. Only the long- haired man remained completely unmoved, his expression as unreadable as ever.
I walked past them without giving them another chance to speak and headed upstairs, the hem of my dress damp and clinging slightly as I made my way to my room.

Yet, even as I walked, I couldn’t help but think about what happened earlier.
What was that?
Who exactly were they?
And why did they radiate such dark energy?
Drevana’s voice echoed, almost immediately, as though she were in a world of her own.

“Sigh… I really want to play with them. They should put up a fight before their heads are ripped off,” she purred dreamily.
My eye twitched. But rather than respond, I chose to ignore hers I continued upstairs. Thankfully, the upper floor was quiet—no guests in sight since the Alphas’ rooms were here.
I was just about to reach my door when something made me pause.
A grunt.
Small. Barely audible. Yet unmistakable.
My brows furrowed, and I stopped, glancing instinctively around. Nothing. I shook my head, thinking I had imagined it, and stepped forward again.
Then-
Again. Louder this time.
A groan.
I froze. This one came from the Alphas rooms, more specifically Lucien’s room. My heart stumbled.
The first thought that hit me was… he was with a woman. And immediately, a sharp, bitter pang of sadness twisted in my chest.
Why was I feeling this? The agreement with the Alphas remained. I was their Beta. Their property. As long as they cared for my mother’s health, as long as they hadn’t rejected me, my body my life… it was theirs.
And they still had to find their mate and even if they were nice to me, it couldn’t change that fact.
I drew a shaky breath, trying to shove the bitter emotion down, shaking my head as I prepared to step away.
But then…
“Aaggh!”
Another grunt, this one followed by a loud crash.
My heart dropped straight to my stomach as I realized something. That sound… it wasn’t just pleasure. Not really. It was pain.
Before I could process anything,bl jerked my head toward Lucien’s room, muttering under my breath.
“Lucien…”
