52/Say no, Lilith.

Lilith pov

I whipped my head around so fast I thought I’d nearly snapped my neck when Silas asked that question. My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him, waiting for him to repeat himself, hoping I’d misheard. But his expression was blank, his eyes fixed on me, watching my reaction and that was when I realized I hadn’t heard wrong.

Spend an hour with a woman…

I swallowed hard, instinctively wanting to turn to Verya, bu Silas’s voice cut through, low and deliberate.

“Verya wants you,” he said, his gaze steady. “For an hour. And in return, she’ll give us something we need. Are you willing to give yourself to her?”

My hands clenched at my sides before I could stop them, my stomach twisting painfully at the question. Sleep with a woman? I had never done that, and I wasn’t even sure I wanted to. I bit my lip, unable to answer as every gaze pinned on me. I could feel verya’s stare burning into my back.

I wanted to say no, to refuse outright, but the words stuck in my throat, refusing to come out.

Seconds stretched. Finally Claude who’d been slouched in his seat spoke, eyes narrowed, his expression bored but sharp.

“Are you serious, Silas?” he asked. Tilting his head, he added, “Why are you even entertaining the lesbian? We could strangle the information out of her, or threaten her pack. If you don’t think she cares about her life, you could threaten what she cares about most.”

His gaze flicked behind me to Verya. “I imagine you’d care about your pack’s safety, wouldn’t you?”

Verya scoffed, unimpressed. “Oh, go ahead, Claude. Attack my pack, add more blood to your hands. Your curse is already eating you from the inside, why not kill a few more before it finishes you?” 1

A shiver ran through me as Calude’s aura thickened, almost suffocating, but he didn’t seem fazed. He leaned back in his seat, deadpan, a humorless smirk tugging at his mouth. “You think I’d care about that?” he asked, one brow raised.

Verya scoffed, but before she could reply, Lucien who had sat silent all this time, as if nothing and no one else existed finally spoke. Crushing his cigar into the ashtray, he leaned back, his eyes locking on me.

I agree with Claude, for once,” he said, his deep voice sending tingles through me. Everyone turned toward him, Claude and Silas looked visibly surprised, but Lucien kept going.

“Verya disrespected Claude. Even as an Alpha, that should have cost her life. Yet here she is… daring to bargain with us?” His gaze flickered to Verya, eyes flashing brighter as his tone deepened, almost layered with another voice. 1

“Who do you think you are to try and take what’s ours, Very?”

As soon as he said this, his aura intensified so much that I almost fell to my knees, my chest tightening until I couldn’t breathe. But I knew Verya had it worse, his aura was aimed directly at her. She grunted in pain and coughed, and when I saw blood spill from her lips, I sucked in a sharp breath, instinctively wanting to rush to her, but I couldn’t move.

My body stayed frozen in place, trembling as cold sweat broke over me.

This was Lucien’s killing intent, but not the usual one I had felt when he was angry at Claude. 1

No, this was sharper, deadlier, making my vision blur.

“Know your place, Verya, and tell us what you know about Merck. This is the first and the last time I’ll ask,” Lucien drawled, cold as ice. He leaned on the desk, propping his head on his hand, eyes flicking to the door.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll start with your people waiting outside. Since I can’t kill you, I’ll bring them in, tear out their eyes, cut out their tongues. I’ll make you watch as I inflict every pain I can, until their screams fill this room. And when I’m finished…” He raised a hand, claws slid out, long and sharp. “I will remove their hearts.”

My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as his words landed. 1

Something told me he wasn’t bluffing and Claude’s small shirk and Silas’s tired sigh confirmed it.

For a long moment no one spoke, the air thickened until I could barely think. (1)

Who was Verek?

Verya chuckled, and my gaze snapped to her as she grinned at Lucien with an amused, dangerous light in her eyes.

She spat out, “Do it.” 1

I inhaled sharply as she tipped her head, narrowing her gaze at Lucien while she wiped the dried blood from her lips.

“Try it, Lucien, and all this information goes out the window. You need me.” Her eyes flicked between Lucien, Silas, and Claude. “Don’t any of you understand? Even if I tell you where that bastard is, you still need my help. Threatening me won’t make me agree. I know that you’ve been searching for years, you need this more than I do so…”

Her grin widened as she narrowed at Lucien, not flinching in the slightest.

“Let me see you do your worst.”

Lucien’s gaze darkened instantly, the corner of his lips tugging into a frown.

Then I felt it, a surge of his aura. But before it could hit Verma, Silas rose from his seat, his voice cutting through

the tension.

“I believe that’s enough,” he said.

Almost immediately, Lucien’s aura stilled, freezing in place, and then withdrew, the heavy weight in the room vanishing in an instant. Lucien shifted his gaze to Silas, watching him silently.

Silas’s eyes then narrowed on me. I inhaled sharply as he began walking toward me, each step slow but deliberate.

“There is no need to argue or spill blood. We’ll go with whatever Lilith decides,” he said.

Before I could react, he was in front of me. I gasped as he seized my chin, pulling me closer, towering over me until his face was barely an inch from mine. 1

“Does everyone here agree with that?” he murmured, his warm breath fanning my lips. As I stared up at him, heat pooled between my legs, shivers ran down my spine, and my body reacted to our close proximity.

No one answered. No one said a word but that seemed to be the response Silas needed. In the next second, he leaned closer, his eyes almost glowing as he asked,

“Tell me, Lilith. What do you want to do? Do you want Very to take you to bed for an hour?”

My heart pounded violently, almost as if it would burst under the intensity of his gaze and the weight of the

situation.

What did I truly want? Did I even have a choice? If I said no, would the Alphas be angry? Would it affect the contract? I couldn’t tell if this was a test or if I really had a choice at all.

Either way… it didn’t matter. I needed to please the Alphas. If agreeing would give them what they wanted, I had to do it. For Mother. It didn’t matter.

I parted my lips, ready to say yes, but his grip on my chin tightened, freezing me in place.

And then I heard it, just barely, a whisper but I recognized the voice clearly in my mind.

“Say no, Lilith.”

My eyes widened, and I stiffened, unsure if I had heard correctly.

Silas’s expression remained neutral, blank, as if he hadn’t Heard a thing but I knew I hadn’t imagined it.

Before I could stop myself, the words slipped out.

“No, Alpha.”

My voice was barely audible over the pounding of my heart and I added, trembling,

“N-no, I-I do not want this.”

As soon as I said it, the world seemed to freeze. I swallowed hard, certain I had ruined everything, but then, in the next second, the corner of Silas’s lips curled into a slow smirk.

And just under his breath, his voice low and deliberate, I heard him mutter,

“Good girl…”
