Lilith pov

Dravena’s voice suddenly filled my mind, sharp and clear. The world in front of me flickered, and I saw her sitting at the edge of her throne, posture rigid, eyes serious, lips drawn into a deep frown. Her aura thickened the air around her, heavy and oppressive, nothing like her usual teasing self.

This time, she looked annoyed.

“What?” I asked, my eyes narrowing.

“He knows you have a wolf,” she snapped, her voice almost a growl. “And he wants to see if you will use me again, like last time. He’s baiting you. Betting that I will come out and confirm his suspicions.”

She clicked her tongue sharply.

“What a sneaky, smart bastard.”

A breathless scoff slipped out of me as my gaze flickered back to Silas. He was still watching. Silent. Unmoving.

Studying me.

It felt like he was dissecting me with his eyes, seeing straight through my skin, through the silence, through the fact that I was speaking to Dravena right now.

“If I take control and fight now,” Dravena continued, her voice rumbling through my mind, “he will know it’s me. It will confirm everything. But this isn’t the time to reveal myself.”

My brows furrowed as she spoke, more to herself than to me. Then, before I could even process it, she started biting her nails, her gaze going distant, almost wild.

“But I really want to fight!” she burst out. “I want to play with him. He’s adorable-so strong, so fast. He had last a long time against me. It would be fun. I want to take control!”

I blinked, stunned, as Dravena let out a frustrated cry and grabbed at her hair like a child denied her favorite

toy.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Silas looked like he had no intention of holding back and she was worried about not fighting him?

Goddess.

I was really going to die, wasn’t I?

“However, if you had fought against Claude, you wouldn’t have been able to dodge that.”

Silas’s voice sliced through the air, straight through my thoughts. I inhaled sharply, my gaze snapping back to him, just in time to see him vanish again.

And then-

He was right in front of me.

So fast this time that I didn’t even have the chance to think, let alone move. My body froze completely as Silas lifted his hand from his pocket again, this time aiming straight for my face.

A punch.

So powerful that the air itself seemed to ripple around his fist.

My heart dropped straight to my stomach. The terrifying realization hit me all at once, if he hit me, he would definitely cave my skull in.

I could barely process anything before my eyes snapped shut, my entire body bracing for the impact. For the pain.

Successfully unlocked!

But it never came.

Not in the next second.

Nor the one after that.

Instead, a rush of wind brushed past my hair.

Slowly, trembling, I opened my eyes.

Silas stood there, his fist suspended in the air, stopped an inch from my face. His expression was unchanged, calm and controlled, his knuckles close enough that I could almost feel the pressure of the blow that never landed.

If he hadn’t stopped-

I would have been dead.

“If it was Lucien who had punched you,” Silas said evenly, “your head would have exploded.”

My eyes widened so much they nearly popped out of their sockets as I stared at him in pure shock. Then, slowly, the corner of his lips curved upward, forming a smirk.

Cold. Amused.

As if he found me fascinating.

My fear.

My stillness.

Everything about me.

I swallowed hard, my gaze instinctively shifting to Lucien. He watched me with those same cold eyes, and when our gazes met, he casually, almost lazily blew a puff of smoke into the air, his head tilting as he held my

gaze.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Insane. They all were.

Every single one of them. Claude, Lucien… even Silas who was the calmest of them all, was hiding a terrifying madness beneath that composed expression. noveldrama

“Goddess, the strength in that punch was so good,” Dravena purred inside my head. For a moment, I saw her clearly, eyes wide and sparkling, almost drooling as she watched the scene unfold.

“That punch alone would have blown anyone’s head clean off. Imagine catching it with my bare hand… it would hurt, but the pain?” She sighed, voice thick with delight. “…would feel so good. I want to play with him. It’s turning me on so much. I really really want to play with him”

She cried out, yanking herbhaur harder

This girl…add one more to the mix-Dravena, my wolf.

She was utterly insane.

Before I could even process her words, Silas moved again.

My breath hitched but this time, he didn’t attack me, instead….

He drew his hand back, then reached out and gripped my chin. And before I could react, he pulled me closer. Too close. So close there was barely an inch between us.

I looked up at him with trembling eyes, his lips almost brushing mine. The world around us seemed to freeze, the air thick and unmoving as his smile slowly widened, his eyes narrowing with something dark and intent.

In a low voice, he hummed, tilting my face higher as my body trembled, frozen beneath his touc

h, I felt the air knock out from my lungs.

“Fight me, Lilith,” he purred. “Be a good girl for me… and fight.”
