Alpha Daddies And Their Innocent Little Maid (18+) novel Chapter 36

36 Things were about to get complicated

Silas pov

There were two things I believed in life.

You could call them my ideals, my morals, or simply the principles I lived by but they were the foundation of every decision I made.

First, every life on earth mattered. Everyone had a purpose, and no life should be taken lightly.

And the second,

Yes, every life mattered, but I would never hesitate to take one if I had to.

Because just as every life had meaning, that didn’t mean everyone deserved to live.

That was why I never blinked an eye when my brothers and killed, when blood stained our hands. I believed it

was meant to be.

We killed because we were stronger. Because we had the power, the strength to do it.

The strongest survived. The weakest perished.

That was the law of the jungle. That was how we, werewolves, lived.

And if someone stronger than my brothers and me came along, and we met our end at their hands, then it was also

meant to be.

But for the first time that night, I found myself unable to follow what I had always believed in and it was because of that girl, Lilith.

Blonde curls, deep green eyes, a face and a body that could val any woman I had ever seen. 1

The moment she stepped into that room, I was spellbound.

I remembered her from the day before, when she had nearly been hit by our car as we returned to the pack, but seeing her up close lit a fire inside me for the very first time.

It stirred my wolf, Draziel, awakening a craving we had never felt before.

Perhaps that was why I chose to fight for the girl who was meant to die that night.

Lucien was right, for what she had done, she was meant to die. But I didn’t want her to, and now again today…

My eyes narrowed on the girl before me, her head lowered as she stared at the ground, her body trembling as though she wished to hide from our gaze.

I tilted my head slightly to the side, my eyes sharp as I studied her.

I had also chosen to save Kael’s mate because of her.

She hadn’t wanted her dead, I heard her say yes to Claude when he asked if he should save her. And knowing that cheeky bastard, he wouldn’t have tried. Not because he simply wanted to kill her, but because it would have been more thrilling for him to watch her die.

Before I realized what I was doing, I had saved her for Lilith

I couldn’t understand why she would want the one who had treated her that way to live, but perhaps that was what made her so… interesting.

“She is more than just interesting, Silas.”

A deep, guttural growl rumbled through my head, the voice low, cold, and emotionless.

Draziel.

“Her scent is addictive, not only to us, but to our brothers as well. It feels like a force keeps pulling us to her, urging us to claim her. To take her. She’s unlike any other woman… I believe there’s something more to this.”

He continued, and for a brief moment, I said nothing, my eyes never leaving her.

Draziel was right. He was the type who saw things with a clear mind and spoke the truth as it was. He rarely spoke, rarely interacted, and rarely caused trouble but when it came to important matters, he never held back. And this time, he believed this girl wasn’t just an ordinary one.

“Wasn’t that why you brought up the idea of the Crescent Bond? To keep her close and figure it out?” I asked, recalling how Draziel had told me to bring her nearer, to uncover why we were so drawn to her.

She couldn’t be our mate. That much was certain. She was wolfless, and women without wolves were practically human, unable to have mates, unable to bear pups.

But still, there was something different about her, something special, and I wanted to find out what it was, which was part of the reason I had brought up the deal with Lucien

Before Draziel could respond, an amused voice broke through the air.

“Aw, no bloodshed. That’s a bummer,” Claude was the first to speak, breaking the silence after Kael and his mate walked out.

I didn’t need to look at him to know he was smirking.

Lilith jolted at the sound of his voice. She lifted her head slightly, only to quickly lower it again the instant her eyes met his. She bit her bottom lip, her cheeks flushing an even deeper shade of red.

“I was hoping for some fun, for some excitement. But no worries, we already have our new maid here”

He went on, and as always, before anyone could react, his figure vanished from beside me. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the girl, making her flinch as he closed the distance with a grin.

Her eyes widened and she swallowed hard when Claude murmured under his breath, loud enough for me to hear.

“I bet you’d be so much fun to play with, she-wolf.”

He chuckled, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, making her tremble as his fingers brushed her skin.

I almost rolled my eyes, watching him with disinterest.

Claude was the type who couldn’t hide his lust or perhaps simply didn’t care to. Either way, if he wanted something, or someone, he had to have them.

I could also feel Lucien’s irritation as he watched Claude, his eyes locked on him.

Meanwhile, Lucien didn’t want anyone to know about the deal with Lilith, which was why he had her brought into the packhouse as a maid. Not because he cared what others hought, but because he didn’t want word spreading because of the curse and a few maids lingered nearby, their heads bowed silently as they stood near the table.

But Claude?

He didn’t seem to care.

“Brothers,” Claude called out, leaning away from Lilith ase turned to us. “Can I have her first? I promise to be quick-”

“Do you want to die?” Lucien’s voice sliced through the air his eyes narrowing into a glare fixed squarely on him. Claude seemed to realize his mistake, but only chuckled, seatching the back of his head as his mouth formed an exaggerated O.

Before he could say anything more, Abraham, who had bee silent all this while suddenly spoke, lowering his head respectfully.

“I apologize for the interruption, Alphas, but I’ve just received word. Alpha Verya has arrived at the pack.’

At his words, my brow lifted in surprise.

I hadn’t expected Verya so soon. Lucien had only mentioned that she intended to come, but not when.

Almost instantly, I felt Lucien’s irritation spike, while Claude blinked in confusion, tilting his head.

“Verya? Wait-you mean that lesbian? She’s coming here?

As usual, he hadn’t been listening when we talked about it, but I ignored him.

Instead, my gaze shifted to Lilith, my lips tugging into a faint frown as a thought struck me.

If Verya laid eyes on her, there was no doubt-Lilith would capture her attention.

I tilted my head, a quiet sigh slipping past my lips.

Something told me things were about to get complicated.
