Alpha Daddies And Their Innocent Little Maid (18+) novel Chapter 44

44 They were furious.

Lilith pov

Her eyes locked on me-sharp, unblinking.

The corner of her lips curled into a smirk, one that sent shivers racing down my body.

The way she looked at me, the hunger in her gaze left me unsure how to even react.

It was the first time a woman had ever looked at me like that, and before I realized it, my gaze dropped to the floor, heat flooding my cheeks.

And even without seeing her, I knew that her smirk had widened.

“You heard me the first time, didn’t you?” Claude’s voice cut in, dripping with irritation. My gaze flickered to him just in time to see him roll his eyes before, to my shock, he casually reached out and flicked his fingers against Verya’s head where it rested on his shoulder. She jerked back with a pout, rubbing the spot as she leaned away.

Claude straightened, turning fully to her. I watched as he towered over her, his back muscles flexing, his aura thickening, heavier, sharper, overwhelming the entire room in an instant, easily dominating hers.

At that moment, it was obvious who was stronger between the Alphas and who would win if they fought. The truth had been clear from the start.

Claude might have been more laid-back than his brothers, but his strength was no less than Lucien’s or Silas’s. And when he wasn’t smiling… he was terrifying. 1

“Fuck off. There were plenty of women arranged for you, weren’t there? You don’t have to be so greedy, Verya.”

His voice was cold, clipped.

I couldn’t see his expression, but I swallowed hard, my heart pounding against my chest as I stared at his back

What was happening here? I didn’t fully understand, but something told me this had to do with me.

But if Verya felt the shift in Claude’s aura, she didn’t show it.

Instead, her voice drifted to my ears, smooth, unbothered. I could almost picture the grin curling on her lips as she spoke.

“Greedy? Well, that’s rich coming from you.” 2

Verya chuckled, her laughter echoing through the room. I watched as she stepped away from Claude, her movements slow and deliberate, almost feline. She turned and lowered herself onto the bed with ease, crossing her legs before continuing.

“As for the women… I got tired of them. Honestly, I thought Fangspire’s women would be better-prettier, at least curvier, like the Goldenstorm women. But they’re not. She tilted her head, eyes glinting with amusement. “ And then I noticed you. You looked so uninterested, so bored. The Claude I know would never wear that expression around a woman.”

Claude turned to her, his expression flat and unreadable, lang blond hair falling in loose, messy strands around his face. 1

“I mean, you’d jump at any chance to shove your dick somewhere. Then I remembered the pack summit, when you excused yourself to use the restroom but instead you were fucking Alpha Mark’s luna.” She laughed. ” Goddess, I can still see it, Mark’s fury, the deadpan look on your brothers’ faces when you strolled back into the hall with that lazy grin… and then his wife followed moments later, dripping in your scent.”

The room fell into silence at her words.

I dropped my gaze to the floor, inhaling a deep breath.

I knew exactly what she was talking about. Everyone did, it had been the gossip of the packs. 2

Alpha Claude had snuck around with another Alpha’s luna during a summit.

Rumor had it Alpha Mark was so enraged he nearly declared war on Fangspire but even he had known better than to challenge the triplets.

“You know that’s why everyone keeps their lunas away from-

“Oh, get to the point,” Claude cut her off, his voice almost bored. He dragged a hand through his hair, the other slipping casually into his pocket. By now, his aura had eased, no longer thick with tension.

He simply looked irritated.

Verya only chuckled at his interruption before continuing.

“When you made that excuse about going to the restroom, couldn’t help but think back to that day. And I thought to myself… ah, he’s probably off somewhere fucking someone he doesn’t want me to know about.”

I watched as she tilted her head slightly, her eyes locked on mine.

“Someone prettier… better than all the others back there,” she went on, her tone calm, laced with amusement.

“And I was right. You were with someone… different from the rest.” Her eyes narrowed, pinning me in place. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t.

“She’s different, isn’t she?” she pressed. “I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something about her scent … sweeter, richer. She smells better than the others.”

My eyes widened at her words, but before I could dwell on it, Claude stepped forward, blocking her from my view. His voice cut through the air, deeper, sharper, almost a growl, as if it didn’t belong to him alone.

And suddenly, before anyone could react, his aura burst forth again, stronger this time, like flames surging outward, the sheer force of it nearly driving me to my knees

The world seemed to freeze. Instinctively, I backed away until my back hit the wall, my eyes locked on Claude’s

back.

It was the first time I had ever seen such raw power radiating from him. He looked deadly serious.

“Know your place, Verya,” Claude said coldly, his voice cutting through the air. “I won’t repeat myself. I told you to fuck off.” He stepped closer, towering over her

“I could kill you right here, right now, without even blinking… do you really want to test me?”

He asked, and something in his voice told me he wasn’t bluffing. But Verya didn’t seem fazed, if anything, she looked entertained, almost thrilled to be riling him up.

“Kill me?” She pressed a hand to her chest in mock shock,ps curling into a wicked grin as she looked up at Claude,

“But don’t you need my help? I doubt your brothers would be too pleased if I died,” she taunted, her voice light, teasing.

Then, in the very next second, her eyes gleamed with mischef as she leaned forward eagerly.

“You know what? I’ve got an idea. How about you give her me and-”

Her words never finished. In the blink of an eye, she was no longer on the bed and Claude was no longer standing

before me.

My head snapped toward the window, and a startled gasp escaped me when I caught sight of him. My heart sank.

Claude was there, gripping Verya by the neck, lifting her of the ground, holding her at the edge of the window.

I swallowed hard, watching her stare at him in mild surprise, as if she hadn’t even realized when he moved or how she ended up there. As I struggled to process it, Claude’s chuckle filled the room, low, dark, amused And even without seeing his face, a shiver ran down my spine.

“Do you really think I care about that?” His voice was rough. Verya’s strangled groan cut through the air as his fingers tightened around her neck. “Your help? My brothers? I could snap your neck right here, right now. Who cares”

He hissed the words, and for a moment, I couldn’t move.

Even if I wanted to, there was nothing I could do. Two Alphas facing off and if I interfered, I might not even realize when my head came rolling off my shoulders. So I stayed frozen. 1

The air grew so heavy it was suffocating. And just when I thought Claude was truly going to strangle her, my eyes widened in shock as the corners of Verya’s lips slowly curved into a smile.

As though the lack of air meant nothing to her, she hummed softly, her gaze flicking away from him toward the door. 1

“Are you sure about that, Claude?” she asked.

And at that exact moment, I felt it, a sudden shift in the air. Two powerful auras surged forth, thick with murderous intent, and they didn’t belong to Claude or Very. 1

Claude’s head snapped toward the door, sensing it too. I caught the faintest curse slip from under his breath. When I followed his gaze, my blood ran cold, every hair on my body standing on end. 1

Lucien and Silas stood by the doorway, their gazes locked on the scene before them.

On Claude.

Their faces were as emotionless as ever.

Lucien’s expression was icy, hands tucked into his pockets his presence pressing down on the room. Silas leaned against the door, arms crossed, a faint frown tugging at the corners of his lips but beneath it all, one thing was

clear.

They were furious.
