Lilith pov.


    I was surprised.


    As I stared at Verya, hearing The’s words, I was really surprised

    Not because the Alphas had asked Verya to look after the packhouse, I could understand that after what happened thest time they were away but the fact that they had also asked her to look after me…


    That was what caught me off guard.


    I couldn’t understand it. Even as their Beta, asking an Alpha from the third-strongest pack to look after me, it caught me off guard.


    I wasn’t that important, and yet… something warm stirred in my chest.


    They cared about me. They cared enough to look out for my safety.


    The thought shed through my mind, and before I could stop it, a soft, fluttery feeling surged inside me. For a brief, ridiculous moment, the image of those three ruthless men who had gone out of their way to cook for me just to make me happy popped into my head.


    Heat crawled up my cheeks, and the corners of my lips lifted into a small, soft smile.


    But then, before I could process anything…”


    “Aww… don’t tell me you’re smiling like that because of me.”


    A soft, sultry voice purred through the air, and my eyes snapped forward, my breath hitching.


    Why?


    Verya was suddenly there, leaning way too close.


    I froze.


    Her scent drifted toward me, Her toned body slightly towered over me. And she was smiling down at me, a mischievous glint dancing in her eyes as she reached out, grabbed my chin, and lifted it just enough so I was looking up at her.


    I blinked.


    “I didn’t know you liked me this much, beautiful,” she continued smoothly. “So… does this mean you’re into women now?”


    My brain short-circuited. She thought I was smiling because of er? My face heated, and I scrambled to respond.


    “I-”


    But she cut me off.


    “That’s good,” she said,pletely unbothered. “Men are so overated anyway. Don’t worry, anything a man can do, a woman can do better.”


    Her gaze slowly traveled down my body. Over the marks. The bruises. The sheets barely covering me.


    Her smirk deepened, her meaning clear as day.

    My face burned hotter as she looked back and winked.


    up


    “So… how about you leave those idiots ande with me instead-”


    She didn’t get to finish.


    “Ah ah… is this recording already?”


    Ss’s voice cut through the room sharp and loud.


    Everyone froze.


    Verya and I snapped toward the source.


    It was The, holding her phone up, her expression calm as ever as the sounds from her phone drifted through the room.


    “I think it’s recording,” ude’s voice followed, calm but serious. “Verya, if you’re listening right now, it means you’re trying toy your filthy paws on our little wolf.”


    A pause. The silence stretched for a beat longer, then-


    “If that’s the case… you’re a dead woman. A dead woman, I tell you, you lesbian!”


    I blinked.


    Verya scoffed.


    ude continued, his tone deadly serious.


    “When we get back, we’re going to skin you alive, gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and take your lungs out. I swear


    to the goddess. Lilith is ours, don’t even try to flirt with her, to touch her, or to even look at her!”


    ude hissed through the speaker and the next second, static crackled. Ss’s voice cut in, t and emotionless.


    “You’re being dramatic, brother. But yes. If you flirt with her, Veya-”


    Another pause.


    “You die.”


    More static,


    It was Lucien this time.


    “And if you so much as touch her,” his voice was low, cold, final.,


    “There won’t be enough left of you to bury, Verya,”


    Silence.


    The recording ended.


    The calmly lowered her phone, expression nk but posture respectful.


    “This is what the Alphas asked me to y if you got near Beta Lath. They also asked me to report everything that happen while they’re gone, without leaving a single detail out,” she said, er tone perfectly clear.


    Lora beside her shivered, head lowered, terrified Verya

    Verya slowly looked at me. Then at The. Then back at me. She muttered four words, shaking her head, a low chuckle spilling out as she leaned back, hands raised in mock surrender, learly amused.


    “Your men are insane. I give up.”


    I inhaled a deep breath.


    My men…


    My face flushed an even deeper shade of pink.


    Those words-goddess, why did I like the sound of them more than I should have?


    “Pfft, calm down, human. Your heart is pounding so fast, you’re going to have a heart attack,” Dravena’s voice drifted through my mind.


    But the next second, Verya spoke, snapping my attention back to her.


    “I overheard the pretty girl wants to go to the pack carnival.”


    I looked up to see her leaning toward Lora, towering over her with that flirty, mischievous smile, her hands casually deep in her pocket. Almost instantly, Lora’s ears flushed red, her eyes darting nervously, like a girl standing in front of her crush.


    For a brief second, I remembered the first time I’d met Verya-Lora had called her “hot.”


    Did she… have a crush on Verya?


    Lora didn’t answer. Instead, her eyes instinctively drifted to me, and I could see it clearly: a silent, pleading message.


    She did have a crush on Verya.


    I smiled softly and nodded at her.


    “Yes,” I said, my voice gentle but firm. “We want to go to the carnival, Alpha Verya. Please apany us.”


    Verya turned her gaze to me, her smile widening, eyes sparkling with amusement.


    “Of course,” she said smoothly, voice low and teasing. “It would be my honor. Something tells me… today is going to be really fun.”
