The moment we stepped out of my room, I understood what Lora had meant. Even before descending the stairs, soft music drifted through the air.
As we approached the balcony railing, I looked down.
The packhouse was farrger than it seemed on ordinary days. Tonight, it resembled a grand hall without the seats or table. Instead, crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, casting arm golden light over the polished floors below.
Men in tailored suits and women in elegant gowns mingled gracefully, theirughter blending with the music. Some held sses filled with wine, speaking among themselves. Every guest looked like they held high status within the pack.
‘I could even spot several elders gathered together, their expressions dark and gloomy as they whispered among themselves.
And then…
The Alphas.
They stood together.
Lucien in ck.
Ss in brown.
ude in white.

Lucien and Ss wore fitted suits that enhanced their already imposing presence, while ude wore loose, flowing clothes that somehow made him look just asmanding. Despite their different styles, the three of them were equally breathtaking.
As I descended the stairs slowly, I noticed something else. They weren’t interacting much with the guests.
Lucien and Ss were speaking to each other quietly, while ule stood slightly apart, holding a ss of wine, looking almost bored.
But the moment my heels touched the lower steps-
People began to turn.
One by one, conversations and murmurs died down.
And almost instantly, the three men lifted their heads at the same time.
Their

eyes locked onto me.
Taking me in.
Then, like a switch the whispers began spreading like wildfire though the crowd.
“Wait… is she really the one who’s going to be the new Beta? A woman? That’s impossible.”
A man muttered under his breath.

“Right? I heard she’s thete Beta Jayden’s daughter. Is that why he was chosen?” a woman whispered back.
“I heard she’s wolfless. I can’t believe the Alphas want to make a wolfless woman the Beta.”
The gossip grew louder.
Behind me, The and Lora lowered their heads respectfully. Not daring to speak.
But I didn’t.
I stood there, facing the crowd and their whispers. I didn’t flinch I didn’t react.
I knew this was going to happen.
Instead, I turned toward the Alphas.
And lowered my head in a proper bow.
“Greetings to the Alphas. This Beta offers her greetings.”
I said, purposely using my new title.
I did not shrink. I did not hesitate, my father’s words ringing through my mind.
If no one stood by me, then I would stand by myself.
A ripple of shock moved through the hall at my words. The elders’ expressions darkened further, anger shing across their faces. By calling myself Beta, I had already acknowledged the position as mine.
The brothers’ expressions shifted. A moment ago, they had been frowning, their auras subtly sharp as if ready to silence the crowd’s disrespect.
But after hearing my words-
ude’s lips slowly curled into a smirk.
And Lucien and Ss looked at me with something unmistakabl in their eyes.
Pride.
However, the very next second, something happened.
I watched as Ss adjusted his tie and took a step toward me, his voice smooth, a smile spreading across his lips as he drawled out in front of the entire crowd, reaching out his hand for me to take.
“Here, Lilith.”
The moment he did, the hall fellpletely silent, eyes widening as they took in the scene before them.
The scene of Alpha Ss smiling… and reaching out his hand to the.
“Wait… is that really… Alpha Ss smiling right now?” someone whispered in disbelief.
I flicked my gaze from his hand to his eyes, then back to his han again. He held it out patiently, waiting for me. As the seconds passed, I didn’t hesitate. I reached out to take it but before I could,
ude was already beside his brother.
In front of everyone, without shame or the slightest care, he actually shoved Ss aside. Ss, caught off guard, staggered.

back as ude smirked and extended his own hand toward me.
To my shock, he was holding a bouquet of flowers.
I stared in disbelief, trying toprehend where he had even pilled that from, but as always, sunlight seemed to appear from nowhere and shine dramatically on him as he smiled andnded them to me.
“Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman,” he hummed softly.
For a moment, my eye instinctively twitched at his words.
Behind him, someone whispered,
“No way… Alpha ude is handing her flowers?”
Another voice whispered back,
“You’re thinking about that? I mean where on earth did the sun evene from?”
Whispers rang through the air as everyone watched, and suddenly, I wasn’t sure how to act anymore.
Moments ago, I had told myself I would be confident, but this… in front of everyone… I couldn’t believe they didn’t care about their image at all.
Thankfully, there was one other brother who wasn’t like this. I wasn’t sure how I would actually act if Lucien-
“Take this. I heard women like gold.”
My thoughts faltered as I blinked, only to see Lucien had already shoved ude aside just like ude had done to Ss. He now stood before me, Abraham by his side, opening a box that revealed a pair of golden earrings.
“This is the purest form of gold, Nectar Gold. Alpha Lucien had specially crafted into this for you, Beta Lilith,” Abraham exined respectfully.
My mouth didn’t nearly drop to the ground.
No-it actually did.
Gasps erupted around the hall.
“The Nectar Gold?! I heard there’s only two percent left in the entire world and he’s giving it to her?!”
As everyone spoke over one another, my gaze flickered between the three men before me. I couldn’t help the soft, shaky scoff of utter disbelief that escaped me.
Still, Iposed myself and lowered my head to Lucien.
“Thank you, Alpha. This Beta is grateful for your gift.”
Almost immediately, Lucien instinctively puffed out his chest, clearly proud. Ss and ude both frowned and pouted, Ss staring at his empty hand since he had brought nothing, and ude staring at his flowers in disappointment.
Just as I was about to thank them as well, the air suddenly changed.
The next second-
Thud!
Thud!
10:07 Sat, Feb 14 m T
Thud!
The sound of bodies dropping to their knees sliced through the hall. Almost instantly, everyone’s gaze shifted toward the source of the sound, everyone except the Alphas, who still kept their eyes fixed on me.
I watched as the elders, one after another, fell to their knees and bowed, their voices ringing out in rehearsed unison.
“Esteemed Alphas, we do not ept this!”
Silence fell immediately.
“We elders cannot ept making this woman the Beta. This woman is weak, wolfless, and moreover, rumors are spreading that she has put a spell on you. That she is not worthy of the position. Please reconsider! Please reconsider!”
Another elder spoke up quickly, voice filled with indignation.
“She has bewitched the Alphas! How else would they treat her so differently? A wolfless woman cannot possibly deserve such favor!”
“Yes!” another chimed in. “She has clearly seduced the Alphas. She is maniptive, dangerous… evil!”
Murmurs spread through the hall as some guests began to nod i agreement.
“She used her beauty to climb to this position…”
“She doesn’t deserve to stand beside the Alphas…”
“A wolfless woman as Beta? Ridiculous…”
Yet through it all, my expression didn’t change.
I simply watched the elders.
Some of them I recognized, men who had once been friends with my father. Others I didn’t know at all. But now, all of them stood united against me.
However, as they continued speaking, the air suddenly grew heasier.
Darker.
A suffocating killing aura surged through the hall.
One by one, the elders’ voices faltered. Their words died in their throats as they began to tremble, their bodies stiffening.
My eyes widened slightly in surprise, and almost immediately, I licked my gaze toward the Alphas.
The moment I saw their expressions, I sucked in a sharp breath.
They were angry.
Not indifferent.
Not cold.
Not amused.
Angry.
And the next second….before anyone could react,
10:07 Sat, Chapter 155
I watched in disbelief as the elders suddenly began grunting in pain, their hands wing at their throats as if being choked by an invisible force. Their faces turned red, veins bulging as they struggled to breathe.
The guests nearby hurriedly moved away in fear.
Ss was the first to speak.
He stood with his hands tucked casually into his pockets, his eyes glowing faintly as he stared down at the kneeling elders with an indifferent gaze.
“Brothers,” he said smoothly, “how do you feel about wiping out all of our elders? Don’t you think it’s time we got new ones already?”
At his words, the elders stiffened instantly, their faces turning deathly pale.
ude tilted his head with a smirk, his eyes burning with murderous intent as he hummed thoughtfully.
“I don’t have a problem with that. In fact, we can torture them before we kill them. I’ve been rather bored these days, after all. They should be fun to y with.”
The elders shook their heads frantically, trying to speak, but the invisible pressure around their throats only tightened, leaving them gasping silently.
Lucien movedst.
He casually pulled out a cigar, and Abraham, standing beside him, hurriedly lit it with slight hesitation. Lucien took a slow drag, exhaled, and narrowed his cold gaze at the elders writhing before him.
“Let’s start with their tongues first,” he said calmly.
He exhaled another slow stream of smoke before finishing, voice chillinglyposed,
“That way, we won’t have to hear them scream.”
