Lilith’s POV
“Alpha, what are we going to do with her? Why did you bring her here? This could be a trap. We cannot trust her.”
I woke up to the sound of unfamiliar voices.
They were distant at first, but as I became more aware, they grew louder, filled with tension and suspicion.
I struggled to open my eyes. Everything was a blur, and my head felt heavy. Slowly, my vision adjusted, and I scanned my surroundings. My heart raced when I realized where I was. I was inside a pack house, but it wasn’t like any pack house I had ever seen.
The structure, the air, even the scent—it was new to me.
Looking around, I noticed the people surrounding me. None of them looked familiar.
Panic began to creep in.
“W-Where am I? W-who are you?” I asked shakily. My voice cracked, and pain shot through my body when I lowered my gaze.
That’s when I saw it—my legs were injured, covered in cuts and dried blood. My heart sank.
“My baby…” I gasped, clutching my stomach. “Is my baby okay? Please, someone help me. I’m pregnant! How did I even get here?”
“Shut up!” a harsh voice snapped, silencing me.
I looked ahead and saw a group of elders standing before me. Their faces were stern, their expressions unyielding.
“Who are you?” one of the elders asked, their tone authoritative.
I gulped.
“I-I’m Lilith...who are you? How did I got here?”
“We are the elders of the Silver Moon Vanguard. We should be asking you that question. How did you end up near our territory? Who attacked you? And why are you pregnant? Who’s the father of your child?” The questions came one after another, leaving me overwhelmed and unable to respond immediately.
Gathering my courage, I took a shaky breath. “I’m from the Blood Moon Howl Pack,” I began. My voice was trembling, but I pushed through. “I’m… I’m an Omega. But I am fated to the Alpha of my tribe.”
Gasps filled the room, and I felt the weight of their disbelief.
“How is that even possible?” one elder demanded. “An Omega like you—the lowest rank—mated to an Alpha? This must be a joke.”
“It’s true,” I pleaded. “I’m not lying. I was fated by the Moon Goddess herself to the Alpha. Please, believe me. Spare my life!”
The room erupted in murmurs, suspicion thick in the air.
“No,” another elder declared firmly. “We cannot trust you. You’re injured and weak, and you claim to be from the Blood Moon Howl Pack, our rival pack. Anyone from that pack who crosses into our territory is sentenced to death!”
“N-No, please,” I begged, tears streaming down my face. “I’m pregnant. Have mercy on me and my pup!”
“Kill her!”
“Throw her away!”
The crowd around us murmured in agreement with the elders, and I felt fear grip my heart. My hands trembled as I clutched my stomach protectively. Soldiers began to approach me, their weapons drawn and their faces cold.
I was frozen, paralyzed with fear.
Then, suddenly, a deep, commanding voice rang out, cutting through the tension like a blade.
“Silence!”
The room fell quiet instantly. All heads turned toward the source of the voice. The elders stepped aside, parting like the sea.
A tall, imposing figure emerged from behind them.
He was unlike anyone I had ever seen—towering, with a powerful build and a strikingly handsome face.
His presence alone demanded respect, and his piercing gaze locked onto mine as he walked toward me.
Stopping just a few feet away, he stood tall. Slowly, his gaze shifted to me, and for a moment, when our eyes met, I felt an intense electricity surging through my veins.
“Only I get to decide what happens to her.”
