34 Are you blind?
Lilith pov
Kael looked stunned, Seraphina looked like she wanted the round to open up and swallow her, Claude looked like he was having the time of his life, Silas and Lucien just stared coldly at the scene, and Abraham stood beside me without a word, his face blank, though I caught the nervous swallow as he lowered his head as if he didn’t want to
watch.
And me?
Well, I watched as Claude simply stood in front of Kael with a teasing grin, his eyes fixed on him, and for a brief moment, I saw them flash a bright shade.
Claude’s words rang in my mind again and again. He had just called Seraphina unattractive and flat while he called Kael unappealing in appearance.
But why…
Was it because of me? Wasn’t Kael their Beta?
Kael held the Beta position of the Fangspire pack. It was the third-highest position given to a person after the Alpha and Luna, the Beta was the third in command, meant to be the Alpha’s right hand. If my parents had given birth to a son, the position would have gone to him, but instead, it went to Kael’s family.
The thing was, Kael wasn’t exactly strong, not in terms of strength, at least. He was timid, a man who couldn’t even stand up to his own mother. That explained why he couldn’t say anything to Claude’s words, why he stood frozen in place, his eyes wide with stunned disbelief.
Just when the silence was about to turn suffocating, Silas spoke first, his voice calm and collected despite the heavy awkwardness in the air. 1
“Claude, Kael is our Beta. Don’t embarrass him,” he stated, and everyone turned to look at him.
Yet, despite his words, Silas didn’t seem the least bit concerned or even interested in what was happening to Kael. In fact, at some point, he already had a cup of coffee in his hand, sipping casually.
Claude merely let out a soft chuckle as he ran a hand through his hair, pushing strands back with casual ease before continuing.
“Embarrass him?” he echoed, the corner of his lips tugging into an amused smirk as his gaze slid back to Kael. ” Ah, forgive me if I sounded too harsh. I didn’t mean to call you and your mate ugly. What I meant is… you’re both ordinary. Nothing remarkable about either of your faces, just plain. But I suppose plain people do gravitate toward each other. Or maybe it’s simply the mate bond being as strong as they say, because I still can’t fathom how you’d cheat on her-”
He gestured toward me, and my face flushed pink, before gesturing at Seraphina.
“With this.”
Seraphina’s eyes turned red in an instant, and she bit her bottom lip, teetering on the verge of tears.
“A-Alpha Claude, I-” Kael finally managed to speak, perhaps moved by Seraphina’s expression. His voice was shaky, his words stammering, but all he could manage was:
“Please stop…” he whispered, barely audible, his face reddening with embarrassment.
But that didn’t stop Claude. If anything, it only seemed to excite him more. If I wasn’t being delusional, it almost felt like he was enjoying this… like a child who had suddenly found his new source of entertainment.

“Stop?” he hummed, walking towards Kael, who visibly stiffened and took a shaky step back. But in the blink of an eye, Claude was already standing in front of him. Kael gped, his eyes wide as he suddenly felt Claude’s hand grip his shoulder.
Towering over him, Claude looked down with a wide grin.
“Okay, I’ll stop. But before that, I do want to know someth, Kael,” he said, as Kael trembled beneath his hold.
Kael stared up at him in fear, while I raised a brow in confuton at Claude’s words.
“Don’t you like beautiful women?”
He asked, and Kael’s fear shifted into confusion. But before anyone could react, Claude had already moved, he was no longer standing in front of Kael, but instead… behind me
A startled gasp escaped my lips, every hair on my body starting on end as I felt his presence loom just behind me. When he pressed his body against mine, his hand settling lightly on my shoulder, my entire body heated instantly. It reacted to him, that same familiar heat shot down my spine. Not quite as overwhelming this time, but still enough to leave me breathless.
And just as he leaned in, resting his head against my other shoulder, a low chuckle slipped from him and the world seemed to freeze as every gaze shifted toward Claude and me.
I couldn’t move. I could barely breathe as he fixed his eyes on Kael and began to speak.
“Listen to me, alright?” he murmured, pointing to my face his finger stopping just beneath my eyes. “This she- wolf has round, beautiful green eyes that could easily pull you in, eyes like the ocean. Gorgeous, isn’t it?” His finger slid to my nose. “A small, straight nose.” Then to my lips, and a shiver coursed through me, my breath catching as his fingertip brushed them. “And stunning, plump lips that look really good wrapped around-” He cut himself off before finishing, but my heart pounded against my chest, knowing exactly what he wanted to say.
He chuckled, clearly amused, before letting his hand drift down to my chest, pointing. His next words made me want to crawl into a hole, especially with Lucien and Silas’s gazes burning into me, following Claude’s every word.
“And let’s not forget, she’s not flat, either. She’s VERY well endowed”
My eyes flicked to Kael. He was staring with wide, unblinking eyes, and for the briefest moment, I saw it, a flash of jealousy sparking in his gaze, his trembling hands clenching into fists.
“However, your mate is not necessarily unattractive,” Claude said, his finger now shifting toward Seraphina, his tone low and teasing.
“But compared to the she-wolf, she is painfully ordinary..ike a wilted flower beside one in full bloom.”
The instant those words left his lips, my jaw dropped faster than lightning. I could have sworn to the goddess herself that I heard a faint snort echo in my head but before could even think about it, Seraphina reacted first.
A shrill cry ripped from her throat, snapping everyone’s attention toward her. She trembled violently as she glared at Claude, tears streaming freely down her cheeks.
“Stop! Stop it! I don’t want to hear anymore!” she screamed, and Kael and I both sucked in a sharp breath at the exact same time.
Oh my goddess! Did she just scream at Claude?
At one of the Alphas?
I could even sense Claude taken aback for a moment by the outburst, but before anyone could fully grasp what had just happened, she continued.

“How dare you compare me to that wolfless omega? To this ugly bitch?!” she spat, her chest heaving as her breathing grew harsher. “Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m better than her? She has nothing! She works at some filthy restaurant, and you’re telling me she’s better looking than me?” She scoffed, whipping her gaze toward me, eyes sharp as daggers. “She’s ugly! Kael is my mate, he belongs to me! If you think she’s prettier than me, then you’d better get your eyes checked-”
“Seraphina!!!”
Kael was the first to snap out of his daze, shouting her name, his voice laced with terror.
And he wasn’t the only one. As much as I disliked the girl, even I could hardly believe she had said all of that to Claude, a man whose very name was enough to strike fear.
Hadn’t she heard his reputation?
Even Abraham looked shaken, his cold mask cracking as he stared at Seraphina in shock.
Forget Abraham, Lucien and Silas looked absolutely furious Their faces remained unreadable, but the air itself had shifted, thicker, heavier, dangerous.
Yet Claude didn’t react the way I expected. He didn’t look angry at all.
Instead, he leaned back slightly and chuckled under his breath, and the sound sent a shiver racing down my spine. I wanted nothing more than to step away, terrified of being caught in whatever mess Seraphina had created.
“What?! Why are you calling my name now? You didn’t even stand up for me when he was saying all that! I am your mate, Kael! Grow a spine!”
The moment the words left her mouth, Kael’s face burned redder with embarrassment. Instead of snapping back at her, he turned toward Claude, his body visibly trembling as he hurried to speak.
“I-I apologize for my mate’s disrespect. Please, f-forgive her-”
“Kael! Are you seriously apologizing right now? What about what he said to me?!” she shrilled, her voice sharp and grating, and a scoff slipped out of me before I could hold it back. 1
Seraphina was the daughter of a wealthy man in the pack, pampered all her life, and it showed, she had no idea that what she was doing could very well cost her head.
“Seraphina, shut up!” Kael roared, whipping back toward her. But she didn’t seem ready to back down. Her lips parted, ready to say more.
But this time…
She couldn’t.
Why?
Because a table knife had suddenly gone flying toward her head.
