Lilith pov
Emptiness.
That was all I felt.

No sorrow at the fact that my mother was gone. No closure that I had been able to see her before she died. No relief that she was finally at peace with my father once again.
I just felt nothing.
Not even the ache in my chest.
Just… emptiness.
It had been two days since my mother died. Two days since we buried her. Two days since Ist shed those tears.
And during those two days, I hadn’t left my room. I hadn’t done anything. I hadn’t spoken to anyone. I hadn’t eaten.
I had locked myself inside, curled up on my bed, and simply stared at nothing, lost in my thoughts.
I thought about everything I had been through.
My father’s death.
Then my mother’s suicide attempt, and all the desperate things I had done to try and save her, only for her to die in the end
anyway.
But most of all…
I thought about what I was going to do now.
Why I was still living.
Still breathing.
Still alive.
Until two days ago, I had been using my mother as an excuse to keep going. Even despite the mockery. Despite the fact that Kael had betrayed me. Despite the fact that I had given up my body to the Alphas that everyone feared.
I had told myself to endure it all because of my mother.
But now… she was gone.
And I feltpletely alone.
There was a voice in my head whispering that there was no point in trying anymore. Telling me to just end it all. To stop the pain.
To be with my parents again.
As I tightened my arms around myself, curling into a small ball on the bed, the thought felt strangelyforting

I wanted to do it. <ul><li></li></ul>
I wanted to be with my family again.
I didn’t want to keep living like this.
Why was life so unfair?
Why did I have to lose everyone I loved?
What was the point of living anymore…?
“I want to die… I really want to die, Dravena.”

The words slipped from my trembling lips, barely louder than a whisper. My eyes stung as tears welled up in my eyes.
Almost immediately, I felt Dravena’s emotions surge through me, heavy and sad.
For the first time, when I looked into my mind, I saw her sitting on her throne without her usual smirk or teasing smile.
Instead, there was sorrow in her gaze.
The kind of sorrow that only came from someone who had also lost someone precious.
For a moment, she didn’t say anything.
Then finally, she spoke softly.
“Lilith. I-“.
But before she could finish her sentence..
Something happened.
Something that made my head snap up.
Thud!
The door-
My door fell to the ground with a loud crash.
I stared in shock, my eyes widening slightly as dust rose from the shattered wood.
And standing in the doorway…
Were them.
Lucien.
Ss,
ude.
All three of them stood there, framed by the broken door, staring directly at me. Their expressions were serious, deep frowns etched onto their faces.

For a moment, when I saw them, I inhaled sharply. My heart skipped a beat.
I had been ignoring everyone.
Including them.
For the past two days, The and Lora had knocked on my door repeatedly, their voices filled with worry as they begged me to open it. But I hadn’t listened.
And even though the Alphas never knocked…
I knew they had been there.
Sometimes Lucien would stand outside my door. I couldn’t see him, but his presence was sharp and tense.
It always felt like he wanted to say something. Like he wanted to enter.
But he never did.
He would just stand there… for a long time before leaving and repeating the same process.
ude and Ss were the same.
Silent. Watching. Hesitant.
And now, seeing them again for the first time in two days instinctively made me shiver, especially considering the fact that my door had just been broken down.
I couldn’t help but think they were angry.
Why?
Had I been disrespectful by locking myself inside?
As I stared at them and they stared back at me, a second passed inplete silence.
Then, instinctively, I swallowed and opened my mouth to say something-
But then….
“Dude, is your hand made of iron or something?” ude suddenly blurted out. “We said you should open, not destroy the entire door.”
He turned sharply toward Lucien, pointing usingly at the broken door on the floor in disbelief.
Lucien simply nced down at his hand then at the door.
His expression remained cold and stoic as always.
Then he gave a small, careless shrug.
“Well, It opened.
ude stared at him in disbelief.
“It fell off its hinges, Lucien.”

Lucien blinked once.
“Then it was weak.”
ude scoffed loudly, rubbing his temple as if he had suddenly developed a headache.

I could only stare at them in surprise, blinking in confusion from where I sat on the bed,pletely unable to understand what was going on, especially seeing Lucien actually talk back to ude instead of tantly ignoring him.
Despite looking cold like he always did…
He felt like apletely different person.
But before I could even wrap my head around what was happening, Ss cleared his throat.
Both Lucien and ude turned to look at him at the same time as Ss took a slow step toward me.
Then another.
And when he finally spoke, his voice was calm… but firm.
“Lilith, there is something we need you to do.”
He paused briefly, his serious gaze fixed on me.
“We understand this might not be the right time, but we need you toe somewhere. It’s for a mission… as our beta.”
At his words, I simply stared at him in confusion for a moment as I tried to process what he had just said.
Then my gaze shifted behind him.
Lucien and ude were both looking at me as well, their expressions just as serious.
And that was when it finally clicked.
Right.
I was still their beta.
For the past two days, I hadn’t even left my room. I hadn’t spoken to anyone. I hadn’t done anything.
I hadpletely forgotten about it.
About the fact that they had chosen me.
A strange feeling twisted in my chest.
Now that my mother was gone….
I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to be beta anymore.
Yes, I had wanted it because it was something I had always wanted. But more than that, I had wanted it with the hope that when my mother woke up, I would be able to protect her…
Make her proud.
10:54 am Pppp.
But now…
She would never see it.
My feelings were a mess, scattered and tangled in ways I couldn’t even begin to understand.
Still…
The Alphas themselves hade here to call me.
That meant whatever this mission was, it had to be important.
Taking a slow breath, I pushed myself up from the bed with the little strength I had left.
Their eyes followed my every movement.

Lowering my head, my messy blond hair fell around my face as I spoke; my voice so soft that even I could barely hear it.
“I understand, Alphas… I will do anything you ask of me.”
The moment the words left my mouth, the room fell quiet.
I could feel their gazes deepen.
Something shed in their eyes-something heavy and unreadable.
But when I lifted my head to look at them, they had already looked away, as though they didn’t want me to see their expressions.
ude was the first to react.
He suddenly forced a wide grin onto his face and nodded quickly.
“Haha, that’s good. Thank you, little wolf. But first, you have to get dressed.”
As soon as he said that, he stepped aside.
And that was when I saw them.
The and Lora were standing behind the Alphas.
The moment our eyes met, I noticed their slightly red eyes and the worried expressions on their faces from not seeing me these past few days,
Ss spoke again before either of them could say anything.
“They will help you get ready,” he said calmly. “We will be waiting at the destination. Abraham will bring you there.”
As he spoke, his and his brothers’ gazes lingered on me for a moment longer-Ss and ude with stiff smiles, while Lucien simply frowned.
Then they turned around and stepped out, walking over what used to be my door as they left the room.
Almost immediately, The and Lora rushed toward me.
Their expressions were filled with worry as they began asking questions all at once, if I was okay, if I was going to eat, if I had

slept.
But my eyes weren’t on them.
They were still fixed on the retreating figures of the three Alphas.
A quiet sigh slipped past my lips.
Then I slowly drew in a breath and forced a small smile onto my
face.

“I’m okay,” I said softly.
The words felt strange leaving my mouth, but neither of them called me out on it.
Instead, they simply nodded and began helping me get ready.
For some reason, the clothes they had prepared were… strange.
They handed me a short dress with soft floral prints, along with a pair of heels.
As soon as I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn’t help but feel confused.
What kind of mission required a dress like this?
From the nces The and Lora kept exchanging behind me, I could tell they had some idea of what was going on.
But neither of them said anything.
And I didn’t ask.
Once I was ready, I quietly walked downstairs..
Almost immediately, the other maids began looking at me.
Some had pity in their eyes.
Others looked sad.”
No doubt they had heard about my mother’s death.
After what happened at the packhouse, none of the maids gossiped about me anymore or spoke badly behind n
If anything….
It felt like they respected me now.
But I didn’t say anything to them.
I simply kept walking.
Outside the packhouse, Abraham, the Alphas’ Gamma was already waiting beside a car.
The moment he saw me, he lowered his head respectfully.
“Greetings to the Beta,” he said. “Please enter. Allow me to drive you to the destination.”

At his words, I gave a small nod.
But before I got into the car, I turned toward The and Lora.
They were both looking at me with sad expressions.
Forcing another small smile, I spoke quietly.
“Thank you… for caring about me”
My voice sounded lifeless, almost breathless.
Lora immediately shook her head.
And The sniffed softly, as though she was trying to hold back tears.
Before I could react, The suddenly reached out and took my hands in hers.

“Lilith, my child,” she said gently. “I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel better. But one thing I do know…”
Her hands tightened softly around mine.
“Your inother is proud of you. And so is your father. They both want you to be happy… to live your life for yourself.”
Her voice trembled slightly.
“So please… do that. Live for yourself, Lilith”
For a moment, I didn’t say anything.
My eyes stung painfully, but I forced myself not to cry again.
Instead, I squeezed her hand gently and held it for a moment longer.
Then I slowly pulled away.
Without another word, I walked toward the car,
Opening the door, I slipped inside and sat down quietly as Abraham closed it behin
d me,
The engine started soon after,
And as the car slowly pulled away from the packhouse…
I kept my gaze fixed on the window, silently watching as everything outside began to blur
