861Slap him harder!
Lilith pov
“What?” I breathed, disbelief lacing my voice,
Did I hear him right?
Didn’t Seraphina make him promise not to have anything to do with me or she’d break the bond?
He had agreed to that. So why… why now?
As if he could read the questions in my eyes, Kael took a hesitant step closer, his expression tight with guilt.
“Lilith, your father made me promise to look after you if anything ever happened to him,” he said softly, “I know I’ve failed that promise, and it’s been eating me alive. I can’t think straight, I can’t sleep, I’m worried about you, Lilith…”
His voice faltered for a moment before dropping lower, almost trembling
“You know how dangerous those men are. I’m scared something will happen to you. If you promise to quit, I’ll keep helping you, I swear to the Goddess.”
I frowned slightly, narrowing my eyes in confusion. Why was he doing this?
He clearly didn’t love me anymore, so what was it? Guilt? Pity?
Before I could even process the thought, the world around me seemed to still. My heart slammed against my chest, every muscle in my body going rigid as that familiar, taunting voice echoed in my head, the one I hadn’t heard in days.
Dravena. My wolf.
“Pity?” she purred, her tone dripping with amusement as a low chuckle rippled through my mind, nearly stealing my breath. “Oh, my pretty human… I can’t decide if you’re blind or just delusional. Can’t you see it?”
She paused. Then, with wicked delight, she added,
“It’s painfully obvious your ex is gay.”
I swore my heart dropped straight to the pit of my stomach at her words, my eyes widening so much they nearly popped out of their sockets.
W-what did she just say?
Kael’s voice faded into nothing, completely drowned out by Dravena’s laughter echoing through my head, rich and merciless, as if my shock was the funniest thing she’d ever seen.
“Haha! I actually meant to tell you before but I forgot,” she snickered. “Oh, Lilith, have you ever wondered why he was never really into you? Why he barely touched you? And when he did, even getting hard was a struggle? This is really hilarious”
A shaky breath escaped me at her words.
She was right but I had always thought maybe he just wasn that attracted to me. It couldn’t be what she was implying. He’d slept with Seraphina, after all…
“Wait, wait,” Dravena cut in, her laughter sharper now. “That’s not even the best part. Guess who your ex truly likes? Not his precious mate, but the men you’re fucking. Isn’t that why he’s so desperate to keep you away from them? Haha, what a shameless bastard.”

I sucked in a sharp breath, my eyes snapping to Kael as I stared at him in disbelief and confusion.
And then, like a switch flipping inside me, everything suddenly made sense.
The way he always spoke about the Alphas, warning me to stay away, saying they were dangerous, his eyes hadn’t held fear. They’d held… longing.
My hands instinctively clenched into fists as anger surged through me.
“Lilith… Lilith, are you okay?”
Kael asked carefully, stepping closer with a worried look, his hand reaching toward me. “Lilith, you don’t have to forgive me, but-”
“Kael,” I cut him off, an amused scoff slipping out as I looked at him, “are you… gay?”
His eyes widened instantly, his hand freezing midair. And in that moment, seeing the stunned, guilty look spread across his face, I knew Dravena had been right.
The world seemed to freeze, silence slicing through the tense air as he stared at me. Then he blinked, snapping out of it and taking a step closer, stammering, “L-Lilith, what are you saying—”
Smack!
He didn’t get the chance to finish before my palm struck his cheek hard, his head jerking to the side as shock flashed across his face. But I didn’t give him time to recover my other hand came crashing down on his other cheek, snapping his head the opposite way as I glared at him, chest heaving, face burning with fury.
Anger. Rage. Disgust.
Call it whatever, at that moment, every buried emotion erupted, and I couldn’t hold it back anymore.
Back then, I hadn’t done anything because it was with his mate afterall, the woman the Goddess had bound to him but now? It turned out he didn’t even like women. Which meant that all this time… he had been with me out of pity. And I had loved him while he was never even attracted to me.
Goddess, I was seconds away from losing it completely.
“Woohoo! Go, girl! That’s it, slap him again! Harder! I’ll even lend you a little strength this time!” Dravena cackled in my head, clearly enjoying the chaos, but I ignored her.
“Lilith…”
He whispered my name, touching his cheek like he couldn’t quite believe I’d hit him. I drew in a sharp, shaky breath and gritted through my teeth,
“If that’s all, then I’ll be taking my leave, Beta Kael.”
I turned sharply, ready to walk away before I really did something I’d regret.
“Lilith, wait-!”
His voice rang out again as his hand shot forward, grabbing my arm.
Thud!
The sharp sound of something solid hitting flesh echoed though the air. I turned back just in time to see Kael’s head snap back as he hissed in pain, clutching the side of his head. My brows furrowed in confusion as I glanced down, only to see a half-eaten apple rolling on the ground.
Before I could even process what had just happened.

Another apple came flying out of nowhere, smacking him squarely on the head with enough force to make him stumble and fall backward.
“Ow, what the hell?!” he cursed under his breath, groang as he looked up to see where it had come from… and the moment he did, his face went pale. His eyes widened in sheer horror.
“A-Alpha Claude…” he gasped.
My entire body went cold. I didn’t want to look, but my eyes betrayed me.
And when I did, I wished the earth would open up and swallow me whole.
Perched casually on a thick tree branch above us was a blond-haired man, legs lazily dangling as he twirled an apple in his hand. The breeze ruffled his hair and white clothes, making him look almost unreal, otherworldly. Like a god playing at being human.
The second his gaze met mine, his lazy grin deepened, that sharp amusement flickering brighter in his eyes as he raised the apple and took a slow, deliberate bite.
I stared up at him, eyes wide, heart pounding, and at that moment, there was only one thought echoing in my head.
The Goddess really didn’t answer my prayers, did she?
