    The entire ce fell into a stunned silence, so thick you could hear a pin drop. Every eye was on me, wide and unblinking, mouths slightly agape, breaths held as I was wrapped in ude’s arms, staring down the three men before me. They couldn’t have been more different from one another, yet each wore the same expression: pride.


    Not because I had defeated the men as Lilith. But pride because I had done it as their beta. Pride because I had proven that they had made the right choice. Even though I knew they didn’t really care about anyone else’s opinions, there was a faint flicker of satisfaction in their eyes.


    My heart raced as my mind tried to wrap around what I had just done, what Drevana, grinning from ear to ear, was eagerly urging me to do next: fight the elders.


    But before I could even think, Ss spoke.


    “So… does anyone here have anything else to say about our choie?”


    He pulled his hand from my hair, and I watched him turn as ude gently lowered me to the ground, then faced the crowd with a sly, predatory grin.


    “Yeah,” ude added, tilting his head toward the elders, smirking. “If you have something to say, why don’t you step up? Hm? How about we call those whose sons aren’t here so they cane fight the little wolf? Surely, since she is a woman, your strong boys can take her on, right?”


    The elders’ faces went pale. Some nced helplessly at the men sprawled on the ground, unconscious, while their fathers frantically tried to wake them. After a tense moment, it was clear they weren’t calling anyone. Their earlier smug expressions had vanished.


    ude’s grin widened. He scoffed, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Pussies.”


    The elders’ faces flushed red almost immediately, especially as whispers rippled through the crowd.


    “I can’t believe no one could even touch her. They didn’tnd a single punch! Isn’t she… wolfless?”


    “Right? Maybe their sons are weak and just pretending. But honestly, I’m not surprised, she is Beta Jayden’s daughter, after all. That man was known as the strongest beta.”


    Something inside me bloomed at their words. For the first time since my father’s death, I felt like I had truly made him proud. But I didn’t dwell on it, didn’t mock the elders. After all, they were the backbone of this pack.


    Before anyone could react, I walked past the Alphas, their gazes sharp on me. I stepped closer to the elders, who watched with wary eyes, likely expecting aggression but I did something unexpected. I lowered my head slightly, my voice calm yet carrying through the hall, and everyone froze in surprise.


    “I understand that you might not want me in this position,” I began, lifting my gaze slowly to meet theirs, eyes catching the flicker of shock in their expressions. “But I promise to be a beta that earns everyone’s trust. A beta that everyone looks up to. A beta that puts the safety of the pack first. A beta that is willing to die for the pack without hesitation.”


    As soon as I said thosest words, the elders’ expressions shifted A flicker of something, like they were staring at someone else entirely and for a brief moment, one of them whispered shakily,


    “Jayden…”


    Then, I realized..


    It was as if they were seeing my father right there in me. I drew a sharp breath and turned slightly toward the crowd. letting their attention rest on me. “I promise to be a beta that fosters unity, strength, and loyalty across every corner of


    this pack.”

    They watched in silence. Finally, I turned back to Lucien, Ss. and ude, holding their gazes. “A beta that helps the Alphas build a strong, stable pack. I, Lilith, swear this by the moon goddess’ name.”


    As soon as the words left my lips, Ss cracked a smile, ude’s grin widened, and Lucien, a tiny, almost imperceptible smile, curved his lips. I caught it, and for that brief moment, I felt something warm inside.


    I lowered my head and bowed, a gesture of respect carrying the full weight of my promise. The hall remained silent… until a loud thud rang out.


    “We wee the new beta, Beta Lilith, into the position!”


    I turned sharply to see one of the elders kneeling, his voice firm as it echoed through the hall. One by one, the others followed. Thud, thud-each elder fell to one knee, then the other, their voices ringing together.


    “We wee the new beta, Beta Lilith, into the position!”


    I stared in disbelief. The men who had opposed me only moments ago were now kneeling before me, their words genuine. They had truly epted me into the position.


    And not just them…


    “We wee the new beta, Beta Lilith, into the position!”


    I turned again, seeing the crowd, one after another, drop to their knees. My heart pounded so hard, I thought it might burst. And then…


    “I am proud of you, Lilith. I have always been proud of you.”


    A voice-a whisper brushed past my ears, soft and fleeting, gone in an instant.


    Father…


    The corners of my lips curved into a genuine smile, and I lowered my head slightly at everyone as I whispered, “Thank you.”


    At that moment, It felt as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Despite everything, from Kael’s betrayal, to standing in the rain wanting to be swept away by the Alphas, to stepping into the Alphas’ room and offering my body to them-everything had been a whirlwind.


    Yet now, the position I had once thought impossible was mine. I was beta.


    ***


    “My name is William. Please, Beta Lilith,e meet me when you need anything,” a middle-aged man said with a warm smile, extending his hand toward me.


    For perhaps the twentieth time, I forced an awkward smile and reached out to shake his hand, feeling slightly ufortable. “Thank you. It’s nice to meet you, sir William,” I said, keeping my tone polite, even as a part of me really wanted to excuse myself.


    But that was impossible; I was swarmed. Men and women alike approached, smiles stered on their faces, their words carefully practiced, and I could tell they didn’t mean a single one of them.


    After what had happened earlier, the tension in the air had dissipated. The party resumed, mingling and chatter filling the hall. Ss had told me that he and his brothers had something to discuss, and I should stay and try to socialize with the guests. He had reminded me that I was beta now, and that I should hold my head high. They would be back soon, he had said.

    And so here I was, standing alone amidst a sea of strangers, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries. For once, they weren’t looking at me with disdain, but with… curiosity, perhaps even respect.


    “You’ve really changed things, Beta Lilith. You’re the first woman to ever be beta in this pack, this is really good, haha,” a woman said with a wide smile. The others around her nodded andughed in agreement.


    I froze for a moment, remembering this was the same woman who had sneered earlier, questioning how a “weak woman” could ever hold such a position. I forced a tight, polite smile and gave a small nod, unsure of what to say. It was awkward. Really, really awkward.


    Instinctively, I scanned the room for a familiar face, The or Lora but they weren’t there. A few other maids were serving the guests, but they were nowhere in sight.


    Being surrounded by nobles made me slightly ufortable. Don’t get me wrong-I had always been around nobles before my father’s death. I had attended parties, dined with them,ughed with them. Back then, they had been kind, just because my father was beta, and I had believed their kindness was genuine.


    But after my father died, the mask fell. I saw people for who they truly were. Those I had called friends, the aunties and uncles I trusted, turned their backs on me because I was wolfless and because of my mother’s actions.


    I knew no one was obligated to be kind, but the sudden return of false smiles made me uneasy.


    So as they continued to try to strike up conversations, one woman said,


    “Beta Lilith, do you remember me? I used to—”


    “I apologize, please excuse me,” I interrupted, my smile polite but firm. Confusion shed across their faces as I lowered my head slightly and walked away toward an empty table, trying to steady myself.


    Just as I settled down, my phone dinged. Instinctively, I reached for it, and a smile spread across my face as I read the


    message:


    Theodore: Who is our new beta in town?! That’s right, the beautiful Lilith! How are you, girl? I hope the party isn’t boring. Sorry Jason and I couldn’te, we really wish we could, but make sure to enjoy yourself. Jason says hi. When we get back, we’ll definitely see you.


    It was Theodore, my former boss, one of the few people who had epted me at my lowest. These days we rarely spoke, but after hearing what had happened at the packhouse, he had checked up on me immediately. I had also invited him and Jason to the party, but they were visiting Jason’s family at another pack before the wedding. I couldn’t help but miss them.


    However, just as I was about to reply, a voice cut through the air


    “Hello there.”


    A man’s voice. I frowned instinctively, expecting a guest, but something in the air had changed, something had made me shiver.


    A sense of danger or perhaps bloodlust rushed down my spine. I drew in a breath and jerked my head toward the source.


    Four people were standing before me: two men and two women


    The women were identical-twins, with red hair, wearing matching red dresses. Their smiles widened at the exact same time, giving the eerie impression that one person had split into two. My eyes didn’t linger on them long; instead, they snapped to the man with blue hair and a wild, friendly grin stered across his face as he stared down at me.


    Then my gaze flicked to thest man. ck, long hair fell over half of his face. His expression was unreadable, almost hidden, and for a moment I couldn’t help but narrow my eyes on him but the next second..


    The blue-haired man stretched out his hand toward me, his grip teasing.


    “Nice to meet you, Beta Lilith. Congrattions on bing beta,” he said, waiti


    ng for me to take his hand.
