163 The goddess wolf

Silas pov

“She is in danger, save her from Lucien.”

That was what Draziel had told me a minute ago. When I heard is words, I had been stunned for a second.

Lucien?

He wouldn’t do anything to Lilith… unless-

That was when it hit me. Unless he had also been losing control over his wolf lately. Unless the curse had started taking effect on him too.

Unless I wasn’t the only one.

During these past three days, I had begun to feel it, the effect of the curse. It started slowly, from the constant control I once had over my body slipping, to Draziel acting different, strange… unresponsive.

And when he confirmed it was indeed the curse, I hadn’t been as surprised as I thought I would be.

Our birthday was in two months. It was only a matter of time before we lost ourselves completely. Yet, there was this strange feeling in my chest now, this unfamiliar ache that hadn’t been there before.

When I first found out about the curse, I had been close to indifferent.

If we died, then it was fate. We couldn’t change it, that was what had believed.

But now…

Now it was different.

Now there was someone I didn’t want to lose. Someone I didn’t want to leave behind.

Lilith…

After hearing what Draziel had said, I didn’t even remember deciding to move. I just ran, following her scent. Claude’s wolf must have warned him too, because halfway to Lucien’s room, he was suddenly beside me-then, in the next second, he surged ahead, overtaking me.

He reached the door first and jerked it open…

Only to freeze in place.

His body went rigid, eyes wide in terror as he stared at the scene in front of him.

My heart hammered violently against my ribs as I reached his sile, stopping just outside Lucien’s room. My breath hitched, my eyes also widening as I looked past him-

And saw them.

Lilith’s lips were pressed against Lucien’s, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, his arms around her waist. But that wasn’t what made my breath hitch.

It was the state of the room. Broken furniture, holes gouged into the walls, and, most horrifyingly, blood smeared across the

walls, blood dripping from her head and staining her dress.

Claude and I stood frozen in stunned disbelief, and then Lilith shakily leaned away from Lucien. He watched her with a mix of guilt and pain, a single tear sliding down his cheek. And we watched as she lifted her hand, wiped it away with a fragile smile, drew a sharp breath, closed her eyes, and fell limp against him.

And just as Lucien reached out to catch her, Claude and I moved

He was faster.

One moment he was at the door, the next he had grabbed Lucien and slammed him against the wall. His eyes were furious -more furious than I had ever seen him at Lucien before.

And just as Lilith was about to hit the ground, my arms were already wrapped around her, holding her close. She fell limp against my chest, her breath slow. I quickly shrugged off my suit acket, reaching to press it against the bleeding on her head.

But then I saw it.

The wound on her head healed at an alarming speed, faster than anything my brothers or I could manage. Within seconds, there wasn’t a single scratch.

I stared, dumbfounded, struggling to process what I was seeing. knew she was hiding a wolf, but I hadn’t imagined he healing abilities could surpass even my brothers’ and mine. It couldn’t be-

Before I could think further, a deep, piercing growl tore through the air, followed by a sickening thud.

I jerked my head up just in time to see Claude’s fist slam into the wall beside Lucien’s head.

“How could you hurt her?!” he roared, fury radiating from every fiber of his being. His eyes flashed a deep white, and for a moment, the air seemed to shift. It was clear, Claude truly wanted to kill Lucien.

Lucien didn’t respond, his head downcast, hair falling over his brows, as Claude held him by the collar, fist embedded in the wall, leaving a jagged hole. I frowned.

“You should have controlled him,” Claude spat, his voice sharp, eyes narrowing as he glared. “You should have controlled your damn wolf! Why did you let him hurt Lilith?!”

From his words, it was obvious Claude already understood, the curse had driven Lucien to act this way. For Claude to know meant he was also feeling its effects. The three of us were struggling with it, and it was all because we hadn’t found our mate.

My eyes flicked to Lilith, and for a brief moment, I couldn’t help but freeze as a thought crossed my mind. We hadn’t marked her before, hadn’t checked if she was our mate, because he last time she had been wolfless.

The thought had never crossed my mind but now, seeing her now, knowing she had a wolf… could we still try?

I was just thinking that when Lucien’s voice broke the tension. Weak, almost inaudible, but unmistakable.

Both me and Claude paused.

“I tried…”

Lucien’s voice trembled as he lifted his head, and for a moment the world seemed to go still.

He was crying.

Lucien-the man who hadn’t shed a tear when our father died, e one who hid all pain behind a mask, the man who had even tried to kill her that night was crying.

All because he had hurt her. His eyes trembled as they met Lili’s, and he continued, voice breaking

“I-I really tried, but I couldn’t control him. The curse… the curse is strong. I could have really killed her. I… I’m losing my mind, brothers…”

My heart pounded. The air seemed heavy, thick. I watched him with wide eyes, Claude’s expression mirrored mine.

Lucien was the strongest of us, not just physically, but emotionally. He was the eldest, a man nothing could faze, even at the brink of death. Yet here he was, broken, crying over Lilith.

The realization hit me: the goddess hadn’t just wanted us to die she knew we weren’t afraid of death. She wanted to break us, to show us true pain, to leave’us utterly helpless. This was her true punishment for our cruelty.

For a fleeting moment, I imagined a faceless woman sitting on the cloud, staring down at the mortal world. Even without seeing her features, I felt her lips curve into a smile. A shiver ran down my spine. And something told me… this wasn’t all. There was more, something I didn’t yet understand.

“Lucien…” Claude whispered in disbelief.

Before he could continue, I let out a quiet sigh. I placed Lilith’s head gently on the ground, resting her there, and stood. My gaze was cold as I appeared and gripped Claude’s hand on Lucien’s neck.

“Release him. You know he isn’t at fault,” I said, my voice low, leaving no room for argument.

Claude’s eyes flicked from me to Lucien. He took a deep breath, struggling to control the rage inside him, then the next second, he finally let go.

“You are right,” he muttered, just as Lucien sank to the ground, Claude flicked his eyes to Lilith and muttered under his breath.

“I can barely control it myself… it’s getting worse these days. Dervic is turning into something worse, something that should have been impossible.”

At his words, he sighed and turned to us, Lucien rising slowly, leaning against the wall, his face slightly pale.

Claude continued, voice tight with frustration,

“What should we do now? Didn’t we have two months left before-”

He paused, jaw tightening, then his eyes narrowed. “Didn’t we have two more months left before our birthday? Why is it taking effect now?”

At his question, I frowned. Lucien didn’t say anything, his head still lowered as if he couldn’t bring himself to look at Lilith.

Claude was right. My brow furrowed, a thought crossing my mind, one I wasn’t sure I should say.

I wanted us to try marking Lilith again.

What if she’s the mate we’ve been looking for all along?

The curse had hidden the bond, preventing us from knowing our mate, but she was the first woman any of us had ever felt a true connection with. From the moment they met her, she had been different. The only woman Lucien, Claude, and I couldn’t deny we felt a bond with. It was possible she was our mate.

But before I could say anything, something in the air shifted. I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. The tension thickened, almost electric, and all at once, every gaze in the room snapped toward her-toward Lilith.

And as we did, our eyes widened.

Lilith was now sitting, no longer unconscious. Instead, she stared at us, eyes fixed on each of us as if she were memorizing our faces. Slowly, her head tilted, the air growing heavier with every passing second, pressing against my chest, making it

hard to breathe.

Claude reacted. Lucien didn’t.

“Lilith…” Claude murmured under his breath, relief slipping into his voice as he took a step closer.

Then he paused.

And I knew why.

That wasn’t Lilith.

“You are her wolf from that night,” Claude said, voice low, referring to the night Dervic had sneaked into Lilith’s room.

We all watched her carefully.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, something ancient and dangerous flickering within them.

Then, the corner of her lips curved into a smile.

A slow, deliberate smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

She hummed softly.

“Smart boy-”

Her voice was smooth, sultry, laced with amusement, sending a strange shiver down my spine.

She flicked her gaze to each of us, one by one, a smirk tugging at her lips as if she found our shock entertaining.
