49. The Dress


    CHAPTER 49: The Dress


    LILIAN FELT LIKE they were caught red-handed even if they didn''t really do something wrong as Alpha


    Karius'' intense and obviously mad eyes bore at them. She saw how his jaw clenched staring at her


    dress and Jackson''s naked top. She tries putting herself in Alpha Karius'' shoes... well, someone that


    will see her and Jackson would really put malice since they are also both sweaty. She wanted to know


    what''s on Alpha Karius'' mind right now but she doesn''t have the courage to ask him.


    Lilian bit her lower lip. Some of the wolves don''t really mind what''s happening but they could feel the


    alpha aura roll off her mate as he stares at them. No one dared to say a word since they were too


    scared at Alpha Karius right now. They could feel his intense aura that no one even dares to move on


    their positions.


    Lilian gulped a bit and looked at Jackson on her side who''s obviously acting like the atmosphere wasn''t


    heavy at all! The bastard has the guts to even smirk at one of the female wolves that he just met the


    other day! The female wolf just blushed as she averted her gaze to another direction, not making a


    sound since Alpha Karius'' aura is still over the air.


    "Let''s go home," Alpha Karius said, restraining himself to not make a scene in the ce. Lilian just


    straightened her back as soon as she heard the deep baritone voice of Alpha Karius. He immediately


    went to her and pulled her on her side, making hernd on his chiseled chest. She almost closes her


    eyes as soon as she sniffs her manly scent that invades her nostrils. "Thanks for apanying my


    Luna to roam around..." he said with his formal voice as he looked at Jackson.


    Jackson then looked at Alpha Karius, the side of his lips lifted a bit as he shrugged his shoulders. "No


    problem, Alpha. Actually, Luna Lilian is fun to be with. There''s no dull moments when I''m with her.


    Right, Luna?" He even looked at Lilian with a smug expression on his face!


    Lilian secretly res at him, wanting so badly to just smack him in the face for putting malice on his


    words that would surely anger Alpha Karius even more.


    "R-Right..." she answered and just buried her face on Alpha Karius'' chest as she felt how his hand


    tightened around her. She could feel how mad he is now so before he could even do something to


    Jackson, she held his hand gently on her waist, calling his attention since his intense gaze is still at


    Jackson. "L-Let''s go home..." she said to him as she looked up to his serious and handsome face. She


    could clearly see how his stubbled jaw moved a bit and clenched before he sighed deeply like it was


    his way to calm himself.


    Meanwhile, Alpha Karius was itching so hard to punch the man''s face but he was stopping himself not


    tosh out in front of the other wolves. And besides, Lilian was able to calm him immediately so he


    opted to just murdering Jackson in his head. If only he is that bad alpha, he already killed this Jackson


    with his canines on the spot, but he''s not and it''s not a good example to the wolves in his pack.


    They were silent as they made their way to Alpha Karius'' mansion. No one dares to talk once they get


    home, making Lilian nervous even more. Alpha Karius pulled her to ''their'' room without a word and she


    was just following what he wanted, afraid that she would anger him even more.


    She shouldn''t be feeling this way. It''s wrong. She already considers him as her enemy ever since he


    hurted her but why does it feel so painful to be ignored by him?


    Her toes are trembling making her sit on the edge of the bed ufortably as Alpha Karius started to


    unbutton his long sleeve polo. She blushed when she saw his body and looked away. He went straight


    to his closet and got another pair of clothes to wear, still not talking or ncing at her.


    An ache suddenly crept inside Lilian''s chest as Alpha Karius just kept on ignoring her. It makes her


    heart hurt even more. He should be mad at her, right? But why does he not even saying a word? It was


    frustrating her too much! She would like it if he would say what he feels... but he''s not saying anything


    that suddenly annoys her.


    After a couple of seconds, Alpha Karius went out from his closet with his new long sleeve. He wore it


    immediately. He only looked at Lilian for a sec before looking away.


    "Are you still going out?" Lilian takes the courage to ask him even though she''s not really sure if she''s


    going to get an answer.


    "Yeah."


    Lilian tried to hide the shock in her face in his one word answer. Yeah? That''s it? Nothing more? She


    wanted so bad to voice it out but her mouth couldn''t seem to cooperate! Goodness! What''s happening


    to her?!


    Lilian stood up and was about to say a word when they suddenly heard a scream outside. She gasped


    and they both went out of the room.


    "AHHH!! GET OFF ME! ROGUE!!"


    Alpha Karius and Lilian went down quickly and she was shocked when she saw rine being held by


    two helpers as she cried nonstop, obviously feeling scared on the sofa. It was already a mess when


    they got there. The pillows are already on the floor and the helpers are obviously having a hard time


    stopping rine.


    "There''s no rogue here. Please, calm down!" said Fina as she held rine''s arm.


    Alpha Karius immediately went to them and Lilian also followed. He crouched down and held rine''s


    arm. Surprisingly, she calmed down and stopped from crying.


    "A-Alpha Karius... there''s a rogue," rine almost whispered as she looked up at Alpha Karius. He


    stared at her for a bit. It was obvious that rine is showing some signs of trauma after she got almost


    attacked by the rogues the other day.


    "Calm down, rine," Alpha Karius said to calm her. "Breathe..." he instructed and rine immediately


    obeyed. She inhaled and exhaled until she calmed down while still staring at Alpha Karius.


    For some reasons, what Lilian saw was actually making her heart ache a bit. How Alpha Karius held


    rine''s arm gently to calm her made Lilian look down, it made her eyes stung. The tears are


    brimming at the corner of her eyes but she tries to ignore it and understand the situation.


    She shouldn''t feel this way. What Alpha Karius did to rine shouldn''t be a big deal to her because it


    was the right thing to do. And for Pete''s sake, rine is traumatized! She shouldn''t be jealous at this


    moment.


    Lilian gasped at her sudden realization. She''s jealous just by staring at him and rine. But she


    doesn''t have the courage to voice it out. This is not good. She''s familiar with this kind of feeling even


    before and she''s not like it.


    Lilian was moved to where she''s standing when Alpha Karius suddenly carried rine in his arms


    who''s now unconscious. She fell asleep after she calmed down because of the breathing exercises that


    they did. She''s probably tired now after crying so hard. Lilian stepped aside when Alpha Karius walked


    beside her with rine still in his arms.


    He didn''t even bother to look at her. He just walked away like she''s just an air... like nothing at all.


    And it freaking hurts like hell for her. Damn, she never knew that her revenge would backfire like this.


    ***


    THE NEXT MORNING, Lilian woke up without Alpha Karius on her side. The bed is empty and she


    knew that he didn''t evene home to sleep with her.


    Lilian weakly got up from the bed and fixed herself. She went down after and wasn''t surprised anymore


    when she didn''t even see Alpha Karius. He''s off to his duty again as the alpha. She sighed heavily. She


    needs to talk to him as soon as possible and clear things out with him. She couldn''t bear the ache in


    her chest anymore.


    She saw rine eating on the table and she didn''t hesitate to go to her and also eat. rine looked


    sleepless, there''s a bag of circles under her eyes as she weakly eats the food in front of her. She''s


    emotionless, it made Lilian think if she''s really the one who cried yesterday and got carried on Alpha


    Karius'' arms.


    "Good morning, rine. How''s your sleep?" Lilian asked and smiled at her. Yes, she''s maybe jealous


    of her and Alpha Karius yesterday but she''s not that immature to not understand things. rine was


    obviously unwell so she needed to be more considerate around her. And besides, she considers her as


    her friend. rine has been really good to her even when she''s still an omega.


    rine didn''t say a word and just continued eating like she didn''t hear Lilian at all. Lilian just sighed as


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Nadia served her the usual food she''s eating for breakfast.


    She once looked at rine again and her brow arched a bit when she saw that the neckline of her


    dress was stained a bit from the sauce of the steak that she''s eating. Lilian gets a tissue to give her but


    she gasped when rine just held her wrist, stopping her and suddenly red at her making her move


    a bit.


    "I was just going to wipe your dress," Lilian said as she chuckled a bit, trying to ease the tension


    between them. Obviously, rine didn''t like what she did, making her confused.


    rine didn''t talk and just stared at her before continuing eating like nothing happened. Lilian just


    sighed. Everything has changed on rine after she was almost attacked by the rogues. It must be the


    effect of her trauma. She''ll try to understand her more.


    Lilian decided to just eat and didn''t mind her when she saw one of the helpers crying as she went in


    their direction.


    "L-Luna..."


    "What happened?" Lilian''s brows furrowed.


    "Fina... she''s d-dead."


    She gasped on what the helper said. And then a realization suddenly hits Lilian.


    She looked at the neckline of rine''s dress as the familiar scent of Fina lingered in the air.
