12. The Talk With Penny


    CHAPTER 12: The Talk With Penny


    "SHOULD I KILL him?" Calyx asked seriously as they left the room. Alpha Karius remained silent, still


    trying to calm himself from what he did earlier. He obviously snapped and didn''t stop himself from

    punching the man a while ago.


    Alpha Karius shook his head. "No need. And find his family. Make sure that they are protected," he


    replied as they left the abandoned house. Calyx just nodded as an answer but inside his mind, he''s not


    really in favor of what Alpha Karius told him to do. The wolf did wrong to him but here he is, still willing


    to help him despite what he did instead of killing him.


    Alpha Karius wasn''t really like this before. He''s actually ruthless but after he met Lilian, the omega that


    owned his heart, he somehow softened. Calyx actually liked that change in him since he became more


    sensitive to what''s happening to his pack. He would help anyone as long as he can. Just like now...


    But he couldn''t help but to feel sad especially that Alpha Karius is hurting now after what he found out


    about Lilian. She''s... dead. Even Calyx couldn''t believe that news but he couldn''t afford to lie to Alpha


    Kariha even though he couldn''t really ept it. Calyx knew how hard it was for him to ept it. But as


    a loyal and trusted Beta of Alpha Karius, he will always be there for him, not just as a servant but also


    as a friend.


    Sighing, Alpha Karius left Calyx with the man. He went to his mansion again, not to visit the injured


    wolves but to look for Gianna. Some of the wolves are even shocked at his presence when he got there


    since they thought he already left. Maybe they are already used to the fact that he''s not really staying in


    his mansion that much anymore after Gianna came. But they didn''t say a word about it. They all


    followed what Gianna always told them to do.


    Alpha Karius went inside his mansion with his usual intimidating expression.


    "A-Alpha Karius, we thought you already left," Nadia said, the old woman who''s also the head of the


    helpers here as she nced at him nervously. She bowed her head a bit to show some respect.


    "Where''s Gianna?" He asked, not minding what she just said.


    "S-She''s in her room. We think that she''s not really feeling well since she didn''t get out the whole day."


    He just nodded at her and walked towards the stairs then went to the second floor where the room that


    Gianna is upying. He knocked first before opening the room and saw Gianna sitting on the bed and


    didn''t even notice his presence since she''s staring at the wall like it was the most interesting thing that


    she saw all her life.


    "Gianna," he called her name, making her flinch a bit. Alpha Karius saw how she gulped in shock but it


    was all changed to her helpless expression.


    "A-Alpha Karius..." she called him, slightly trembling. She stood up from where she''s sitting. "I... I


    suppose you have changed your mind. I know you love me. You were just bluffing thest time we


    talked, right?" She chuckled nervously as she took a step closer to him and touched his arm.


    Alpha Karius dodged her touch immediately as he stared at her without any hint of emotion on his face.


    He could clearly see on her face the stress as she said those words. "That''s not the reason why I see


    you. And no, Gianna. I''m sorry to burst your bubble but I''m not in love with you. I am here to officially


    kick you out of my pack together with your other packmates," he told him straight, not minding her


    emotions anymore.


    He wanted this done as soon as possible. If he needed to say cruel things to her just to kick her out of


    his pack, then so be it. She''s too much anyway. He wanted to stop everything that she''s doing to his


    own pack.


    Gianna''s expression changed to her mad expression. She red at her as her tears formed at the


    corner of her eyes. "W-What the hell are you saying, Alpha Karius? You can''t just make me leave this


    pack! You need us! You need our pack! We''re doing you all a favor here! If we''re not here, the rogues


    will attack you soon."


    He sighed. "You know what I realized? When the pack seemed to not trust me now, I did a self


    reflection. It was me who''s really at fault here. I should''ve put my trust in them first so they would also


    trust me in return. I should trust my pack and their capabilities. I''m sure we can beat every rogue that


    wille to us if we have trust with one another..." He paused as a bitter smile formed on his lips. "And


    that was my mistake. We can do this. I shouldn''t have asked for your help in the first ce..."


    Her eyes turned to slit. "How sure are you that you could even do it? And everyone is looking up to


    you! I''m the perfect Luna that you could have--"


    "I''ll be the one to decide on that matter." He cut her off from speaking.


    Giannaughed bitterly. "Oh, cut your crap, Alpha Karius. I know damn well the reason why you can''t


    love me. You love that Omega, right?" She smirked.


    Alpha Karius clenched his jaw. So, she knew, huh. How did she find out about it? He''s not sure


    anymore. He red at her, not minding to answer her.


    Sheughed again like she''s mocking Alpha Karius. "You had a secret rtionship with an Omega. I


    knew it from the very beginning. You have a low standard by the way. Poor her. She didn''t even have


    the chance to be introduced in the whole pack and was just content at being the hidden whore of the


    great Alpha of Moon Stone Pack," she taunted him, making Alpha Karius'' boiled in anger. "And you''re


    selfish and a coward, Alpha Karius. It was all your fault. Don''t put all the me on me because it was


    you who did the stupid things here."


    His hand balled into fist and tried so hard to not hit her on the face. He''s trying so hard to not hurt her


    since she''s still a woman. How could he call her Lilian a... whore?! He''s not his whore! "Fucking. Shut.


    Up!" He shouted at her face.


    "Why? You can''t ept the fact that you fucked up so bad that you weren''t able to save your Omega?"


    She smirked. "Well, I don''t care. At least, I was able to give her the best punishment of her life. Who


    knows... she must be dead by now!" Sheughed like a mad man again making Alpha Karius suddenly


    see red all over the ce.


    He suddenly grabbed Gianna''s neck and gripped it so tight, making her unable to breathe properly. He


    pinned her to the wall as she tried to remove his hand on her neck. His nails dug on her skin.


    "L-Let go of me..." Gianna said as she try to catch her own breath. Her foot couldn''t reach the floor


    anymore since Alpha Karius effortlessly pulled her up as he choked her mercilessly. A lone tear


    escaped from Gianna''s eyes making Alpha Karius smirked.


    "Be careful of what you''re saying, Gianna. I''m just putting up with your whims the past few days. It''s


    time for you to stop manipting my pack," he said sharply to her as his canines came out. His nails


    became sharper too, causing Gianna to flinch a bit in so much fear.


    "D-Don''t kill me. Please..." She begged this time, making Alpha Kariusugh mockingly at the sudden


    shift of her expression. She was mocking him a while ago and now, she''s begging him to stop from


    hurting her.


    "I''ll give you another chance. Just make sure to never show your face here again."


    Gianna nodded repeatedly. That''s when Alpha Karius released her from being choke tightly. She


    coughed repeatedly while holding her neck.


    ***


    "I JUST WANTED to talk to Alpha Karius!I swear, this is really important! I''ll stop once I''m done!"


    "Alpha Karius is busy! He doesn''t have time to face you right now!"


    "I promise, this will be very quick! Just please, let me talk to him!"


    "You''re a stubborn witch!"


    Alpha Karius'' brows furrowed when he heard a noise outside the mansion. It was a woman, trying to


    get off from the hold of two wolves guarding outside the mansion. He went to them, curious on what''s


    happening, making the wolves also stop from forcing the woman from getting inside the mansion.


    "What''s this all about?" Alpha Karius asked them.


    "A-Alpha Karius, she said that she wanted to see and talk to you but don''t worry, we''re stopping her--"


    "Let her be." He cut the other wolf from speaking, before looking at the woman. "Follow me."


    The woman then red first at the wolves who were gripping her a while ago before looking at Alpha


    Karius. She immediately followed Alpha Karius when he went back inside the mansion. He went


    straight to the library and sat on his swivel chair.


    "Speak." He doesn''t even know why she''s letting this woman speak with him. He''s drained the whole


    day after his talk to Gianna. And now, she''s facing this woman again that he doesn''t even know. He


    could only sense her race, she''s a witch. But as he stared at him longer, he suddenly recognized that


    she''s one of the witches that healed the injured wolves awhile ago.


    "I-I''m Penny. And I have something to say about... L-Lilian."


    That made Alpha Karius straighten his back on what he heard. It seems like his rtionship with Lilian


    is slowly being revealed after she suddenly disappeared.


    "What about her?" His breathingbored when he heard her name as he sped his both hands and


    leaned on his table.


    "I know your rtionship with her... because of t-this..." The woman who introduced herself as Penny


    put something on the table. It was a locket.


    Alpha Karius immediately recognized the locket. It was the same locket he gave her before. Then he


    suddenly realized that Lilian must''ve removed it already after he... hurted her. Or maybe, she lost it.


    With his trembling hands, he got the locket and opened it... and there, he saw the picture of him and


    Lilian smiling widely inside the treehouse, it almost made him tear up but he stopped himself as he


    remembered that Penny is still in front of him.


    "I assumed that... you had a rtionship with Lilian, Alpha Karius."


    He didn''t speak, as his gaze is still stered on the locket. He sighed as he gulped the lump in his


    throat.


    "And I think you also deserve to know this. Before she was... p-punished by Luna and the whole pack,


    something terrible h-happened to her..."


    For some reason, Alpha Karius'' chest tightened in anticipation of what Penny was about to say to him.


    Sighing, he said, "What is it?"


    "S-She lost her baby days before she was used of being a thief. I was with her when she buried her


    dead baby..."


    And there, Alpha Karius lost it. He cried a river not minding Penny in front of him anymore. It fucking


    hurts him to the point that she suddenly wanted to die instantly!
