《The Omega's Sweetest Revenge》 01. The Secret Relationship 01. The Secret Rtionship CHAPTER 01: The Secret Rtionship THE SMELL of sex is so strong. The sounds of her moans and the creaking of the bed was also Content held by N?velDrama.Org. evident in the surroundings. Alpha Karius was pumping in and out of Lilian''s core as he gripped her waist tightly. Their sex is creating an erotic sound as their body pped with each other. "O-Oh, Goodness! Yes, oh! Uhm... p-please, slow down, Alpha Karius!" Lilian screamed as he held on the bedsheet like her life was depending on it while Alpha Karius continued thrusting inside of her. As usual, he didn''t listen and even fastened his pace. He yed with her sensitive wet bud as he continued pumping behind her. Lilian''s moans became louder this time. She buried her face on the bedsheet as her moans got muffled. "You want this, huh?" He sucked her earshell making her head fall back this time as she held his strong arm on her tiny waist. "Yes, yes! Oh!" Lilian just keeps on moaning in so much pleasure. Alpha Karius never disappoints in bed. He''s always amazing! She''s always satisfied by his touch and kisses. Lilian can''t get enough of him. They always do this when they''re alone together but she still can''t get used to his enormous size. It always feels like the first time. She always felt so full. "Good. Take this," Alpha Karius said and just focus on thrusting. He even pulled her hair and hugged her from behind, not minding the sticky sweats covering their bodies. Momentster, he let out a few more thrust and then filled Lilian''s core with his hot seeds. They are both panting as they fixed themselves and cover their body with the thickforter. Alpha Karius withdraw his shaft and then pulled Lilian onto his chest. He hugged her tight and stroke her hair gently. They are both sweaty from their intense sex but they didn''t mind it and savored the moment of the closeness of their body. Lilian sighed in contentment. This is home for her. "I love you," Lilian whispered to him with her eyes closed. She''s now tired but she always make sure that after their mind blowing sex, she will say those words to him and remind Alpha Karius how much she loves him. "And I love you too," Alpha Karius whispered huskily back at her. That put a satisfied smile on Lilian''s lips. "Do you want to sleep?" he suddenly asked her when he saw that her eyes were getting heavy. "Yes, but we both know that we can''t stay here longer. They will look for you," Lilian replied and started to y with the thin hair on Alpha Karius'' chest to keep herself awake. She would pull it yfully and rolled it on her fingers as she sniffed his manly and addicting scent. They are at their usual meeting ce, the tree house. It''s found in the middle of the forest of Seleniya and only few wolves are going in that ce as they believed that it was the Alpha''s private property. It''s the only ce where they can show how much they love each other, the sole witness of their wild moans and pleasured faces. The view from the top of the tree is breathtaking as they both watched the sunset on that afternoon. Lilian suddenly felt Alpha Karius kiss the top of her head. "I can always make a reason. All I want is for you to take a decent rest," he answered and then caressed her hair. Lilian just sighed and smiled sadly. Alpha Karius and Lilian have been in a secret rtionship for almost a year now. They''re keeping their rtionship from the whole pack since they both know that they wouldn''t like an Omega like Lilian to be in a rtionship with their Alpha Karius. They are against that idea. An Omega is too low for an Alpha. That''s what they all believed so they needed to hide their rtionship from everyone. They are in love with each other but sadly, they can''t show it to the public. Everyone is against their rtionship. "Don''t worry about me, love. I can manage." Lilian assured him. She even smiled at him cutely. That made Alpha Karius slightly chuckled then sighed. "Just give me more time, my love. I promise you, if everything''s alright, I will dly scream at the whole wide world that I''m in love with a very special woman like you," he whispered in Lilian''s ears. Lilian couldn''t help but to blushed at his words and hug him tighter. She will wait for that time toe. She will be the happiest woman once Alpha Karius will finally have the courage to finally introduce her to the world. AFTER THEY both parted ways, Alpha Karius told Lilian that he won''t be able to go to their meeting ce for a week or more. And as an understanding girlfriend she is, Lilian just nods her head on Alpha Karius. She understands the nature of his work. He''s the Alpha of the most powerful pack in Seleniya-- the Moon Stone Pack, so it''s really understandable that he won''t be able to meet her all the time. Alpha Karius needs to attend to the wolves'' needs too. And she won''t demand too much attention and time from him since she knows how heavy and tireful his work is. It''s been three weeks since they bothst saw each other. Lilian couldn''t help but to worry about Alpha Karius since there''s a rumor that the pack is at stake right now. She''s not really sure but she heard that the other wolves were attacked by the rogue pack from the north so they needed to ask some help from other werewolf packs to strengthen the security of the whole Moon Stone Pack. "Come here, Lili." Lilian''s thoughts suddenly vanished when Penny gestured to her to sit on the vacant chair in front of her. They are inside Penny''s old house. Penny is a witch and has the ability to heal someone. Lilian went into her house since she felt like something was wrong with hertely. She would vomit whenever she smelled something weird so she thought that maybe she''s sick. Lilian thought that Penny could help her. "I''m nervous," Lilian blurted out as she met the gaze of Penny. Penny just smiled at her. "Don''t be. I already have a hunch about what you''re feelingtely but I still want to make sure," she said. Penny got a candle and lit it. She suddenly uttered a short prayer that Lilian couldn''t understand. Lilian was just watching Penny as she closed her eyes and when she opened it again, she met her now purple eyes. Penny blew the fire on the candle and secondster, a smoke was formed in the air. Penny''s brows furrowed like she was confused about something. "W-What is it?" Lilian nervously asked. Penny smiled. "What good news. You don''t have an illness, Lilian. You''re pregnant." 02. The Rumor 02. The Rumor CHAPTER 02: The Rumor LILIAN DOESN''T really believe in love at first sight. It''s just a bull of crap. Her life is already poor as an Omega and believing on those kind of sh*ts won''t make everything better. It was all just a waste of Content held by N?velDrama.Org. time. But when sheid her eyes on Alpha Karius, everything that she told herself suddenly vanished. Alpha Karius became the man of her dreams. He became the man that suddenly erased all worries and doubts in her own life. It''s just a shame that she can''t have him and their status is always a hindrance. He''s an Alpha and an Omega like her shouldn''t hope too much. She will just get hurt in the end. But she still prayed that someday, he would also look at her the way she looks at him. And it happened. Alpha Karius noticed Lilian the day when she was asked to clean the Alpha''s house. He was able to throw a nce on her and Lilian was so happy at that moment. They are both attracted instantly until they don''t notice how they fell with each other anymore. One day, they''re just strangers with each other but now, they''re now together, a lover. Lilian couldn''t help but to put a smile on her lips whenever she thought about how Alpha Karius and her started their rtionship. It was full of rainbows even though it''s just a secret. Their secret rtionship wasn''t perfect but it was full of happy memories that she will treasure for the rest of her life. "What the heck are you doing?!" Lilian almost jumped from where she was standing when she heard the voice of a higher rank wolf. It was Mason, the scariest Beta thatmands every Omega in the pack. Being an Omega was never easy. It was actually exhausting. The Omegas are like the ve of the pack that do all the dirty works. Lilian wanted to protest but she knew that it won''t do her any good. She will just get punished in return and that''s the least thing that she wants to happen right now. She''s pregnant and she needs to take care of herself. A baby is depending on her so she must avoid being in trouble in order to be safe. Lilian cleared her throat as her own sweat glided down from her forehead to her cheek. Her gaze went to the innocentdy who looked really tired now. Thedy was already pale. Lilian balled her fist and stopped herself from helping her. If she''s in a different situation right now, she won''t just stand there and watch the poordy almost die in tiredness. She wouldn''t mind getting a punishment just to save thedy. "I... I was just resting a bit--" "Did I order you to rest?!" Mason shouted at the poordy. The other Omegas are now looking at them. They are busy cleaning the muddy and stinky tunnel near the boundary of Seleniya. It was actually gross but they had no other choice but to follow themand of a higher rank wolf. Anyone who will disobey the order of a higher rank wolf will be whipped multiple times. They will not show any mercy to an Omega. "I-I''m so sorry! Please, spare me!" The poordy bowed her head and suddenly went down on her knees and started begging. Everyone gasps on the next thing that Mason did. He whipped thedy with the rope he''s holding without even blinking. The poordy just cried in return. No one dared to stop Mason. No one dared to make even a sound and watched him hurt thedy. It was really unfair on their part as the Omega. They are constantly being mistreated by the other wolves. Lilian really wanted to end it with the help of Alpha Karius. Lilian shut her eyes tightly. They are really too much. She wanted to inform Alpha Karius but she doesn''t want to give him another headache right now. He has too much on his te and Lilian doesn''t want to bother him at this moment. ANOTHER WEEK had passed and Lilian''s situation became worse. She became more sensitive with her surroundings and her sense of smell didn''t really help. Whenever she smells something weird, she would quickly throw up due to her pregnancy. Lilian nced at herself inside the bathroom of her small house. She looked really weak and pale right now. Aside from the fact that she was so tired from yesterday because of being ordered around by the higher rank wolves, she''s also stressed out. She had been thinking of a way tomunicate with Alpha Karius and even tried sneaking in in his mansion but she always failed miserably. The security inside the Alpha''s mansion became tighter. The number of wolves at the front and the back of his house was doubled because of the attack of the rogue pack from the north. They''re securing his safety so it was really hard for Lilian to inform Alpha Karius about her situation. Lilian fixed herself and went out of her small house. She''s living alone and has no parents already. She''s fine being alone though. She went to their usual meeting ce, the tree house located in the forest of Seleniya. It was Lilian''s fourth time toe at that ce hoping that Alpha Karius would suddenly appear. She needed to tell him about her pregnancy because the truth is, she''s really scared. She had no idea on how to be a good mother and she can''t really do this alone. Lilian needs support from the father of her child. She needs Alpha Karius beside her. Lilian knew that the baby justplicate their situation, given the fact that their rtionship is just a secret. But she''s willing to continue her pregnancy and keep the baby. She''s just waiting for Alpha Karius'' side on this very important matter. But it''s pretty hard to get a hold on his whereabouts these days. It seems like the pack is at stake right now. "Maybe he will note again," Lilian whispered to herself when she noticed that it''s been a couple of hours and yet there''s still no trace of Alpha Karius in their meeting ce. She sighed and decided to go back again like she usually does the past few days. When Lilian was already near her small house, she heard two Omegas talking. Her brows furrowed on what she heard. "It''s true! There''s a rumor that the Alpha is going to tie the knot with a higher rank wolf from another pack!" "Hey, like what you said, it''s just a rumor. We all know that a wolf should only end up with his or her mate. What tie the knot are you talking about anyway?" "Believe me, Anna! The Alpha is doing it to secure and strengthen the security of the whole Moon Stone Pack! If he''s going to merge our pack to another powerful pack, then there will be no rogue lingering in the whole Seleniya! We will all be safe!" Lilian couldn''t move from what she heard. Is that even true? Is Alpha Karius going to marry a woman from another pack? The corner of her eyes heated when she realized something. If ever that Alpha Karius will agree on that matter... then what will happen to her now? What will happen to their baby? 04. The Bloody Break-up 04. The Bloody Break-up CHAPTER 04: The Bloody Break-up "FROM NOW on, I want to end everything. Let''s pretend like nothing happened between us. Let''s be strangers and I don''t want to see your face again." Lilian wasn''t able to talk after what he said. She was just waiting for a couple of seconds until he took back those words. If this is one of Alpha Karius'' jokes, then it''s not funny at all! Her heart is breaking inside her chest! "Please, take back what you just said," Lilian pleaded as he stared at the man that she truly loves with tears forming in the corner of her eyes. She''s trying to be as firm as possible and won''t let her voice crack. Alpha Karius just clenched his jaw and tilted his head a bit. He suddenlyughed sarcastically that made the hair on Lilian''s nape rose up. The man in front of her right was like a stranger, far from the man that she loves. It feels like she doesn''t know him anymore. "I won''t take it back. That''s what I want, woman," he told her coldly. A gasp escaped from Lilian''s lips. Woman. He just called her ''woman'', like he doesn''t even know her name, like she''s just a mere stranger to him. What the hell is happening to him? Why does he suddenly want to end everything between them?! This is not him! She shook her head. "Y-You''re just lying. Maybe this is just one of your pranks! I knew it, Alpha Karius! Stop this now, hmm?" Her voice became gentle like she was convincing him to stop his antics. She tried to reach him again and held his arms but he just moved her hands away, like he was so disgusted, like she has some kind of disease that he''s trying to avoid.Content held by N?velDrama.Org. "This is not a prank! This is real, I have no time to fool around so fucking swallow the fact that I no longer want a connection with you anymore!" He shouted in so much frustration and gazed at her with his bloodshot eyes. Lilian almost jumped from where she''s standing in shockness. "B-But we l-love each other! You told me multiple times that you love me, Alpha Karius!" He licked his lower lip, his breathingsbored and then brushed his own hair with his palm. Even though he really looked mad right, he still looked hot and handsome. "I fell out of love. Stop your drama, goddamnit!" A sobbed came out automatically from Lilian''s mouth and cried in front of him. She tried to suppress her sobs but it just kept oning out from her mouth. Maybe it''s the effect of her pregnancy, she really became emotional which she couldn''t really stop. He fell out of love. Is that it? Is that his reason? But he never once made her feel like his love will end this way... that he will fall out of love because he always tells her how much he loves him all the time they were together. He never had his shorings when ites to their rtionship! "Why? W-Why, Alpha Karius? Did I do something wrong? Did I upset you? Please, tell me, I''m willing to change it! I''m willing to change myself if that''s what makes you stay in our rtionship! I''ll be good, I won''tin in our secret rtionship anymore. If you''re willing to keep me forever, then I''ll ept it! Just don''t end what we have!" Lilian was so desperate to make Alpha Karius stay. She really never expects herself to be like this in front of a man that she''s even willing to change herself in order to make her stay. It was pathetic but she was left with no other choice. She wanted him to stay in their rtionship! "I just felt... tired. I felt tired of this damn set up! I want to end up with someone that I can truly show to the world! I felt tired of hiding this damn rtionship. It feels so fucking frustrating that you''re just an... Omega," he replied, almost whispering thest word. "You''re too low for me!" Her tears won''t stop from falling now that he finally said those words. So, that''s it, huh. Because she''s just an omega... Growing up as an Omega, Lilian''s life was really hard. She was treated like a ve by the other wolves. She''s basically an orphan and she doesn''t even have someone to rely on. She doesn''t have friends. She was fine being alone... not until Alpha Karius came to her life. She felt like a light shone in her dark world. Lilian suddenly wanted to keep him forever. She suddenly wanted to be selfish and keep Alpha Karius for herself only but it was impossible since he has his own pack to take care of but she''s willing to understand! She''s willing to wait on his free time like what she always does! She was so happy that he was able to notice an Omega like her before. Lilian being an Omega was never an issue to Alpha Karius. He never once belittled her as a lower rank wolf. He never made her feel like she''s too weak or too low for him... just now. And honestly, Lilian was really hurt. She felt insulted. His words are like knives that cut her deepest soul. "W-Why..." That''s the only word that escaped from Lilian''s lips. She felt too weak to suddenly utter a word. She held her chest, hoping that it would stop from hurting now. "I''m so tired of you." "But I... I can''t, Alpha Karius. I can''t go on with my life without you now." That''s the sad truth. It will be really hard for her to go on with her life now because she was so used to his presence. It will be too hard for her to move forward knowing that he created a big impact on her life. "You can. You have no other choice and besides, I''m going to get married soon. I''ll end up with a woman with a higher rank and a good background. Lessplications, right?" He smirked at her mockingly. "That way, I can obtain more power and authority." Lilian''s toes suddenly felt weak. She knelt in front of Alpha Karius after hearing those words. He''s getting married? So... the rumors are really true, then. That he''s going to tie the knot with another woman and he said to a higher rank wolf. "P-Please, no! Please, don''t marry someone else. I can''t... I love you, Alpha Karius! I love you so much!" Lilian begged as he cried in front of him. She had reached her lowest point in life. She never knew that she would really beg for a man to stay. "Fucking stand up! Even if you cry in a river, I won''te back to you!" Lilian shook her head. "No! Please, I need you!" ''We need you'', she wanted to continue that but she felt out of words all of a sudden when Alpha Karius turned his back on her. She tried to reach him but he didn''t even look back on her. "I hope this will be thest time that we''ll see each other," he coldly said and then left Lilian crying and begging him to stay. Lilian cried nonstop when she was already alone. She covered her eyes using her palms as the tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt dizzy at the realization that her rtionship with Alpha Karius came to its end now. It was all done. It was painful as hell. She was about to stand up to leave the ce when she felt a liquid gushed out from in between her thighs. Her face automatically paled when she saw the blood running freely down her legs as a sudden surge of pain hit her womb. "O-Oh, no... Please, no! N-No! Please, hold on, baby," she whispered as she carried herself to stand up and ask for help. 05. The Sweetest Revenge 05. The Sweetest Revenge CHAPTER 05: The Sweetest Revenge BLOOD. IT was blood that came out from her femininity. Lilian was so shocked that even though her body was giving up, she still tried to stand up and look for help. "H-Help! Help me, p-please!" Lilian shouted when she sessfully got down from the tree house. Maybe it was the adrenaline rush that pushes her to move quickly before everything is toote. She doesn''t even know anymore how she was able to get down since she''s already dizzy. Her surroundings were spinning that she''s about to give up but no! She must move and get help! Lilian continues walking desperately despite her wobbling knees. She''s in the middle of the forest and it was impossible to get some help at this moment but she will still try! She will try for the sake of her baby! She will never give up! "Help me..." Her throat is getting dry. She already stopped from crying but the pain she''s feeling on her lower abdomen is getting worse! And the blood won''t just stop from gushing down to her legs. She''s losing too much blood! "No... please, h-hold on, baby. M-Mama will get some help," she whispered to her little one as she held her t stomach. When she finally got out of the forest, it was a miracle that she saw a woman walking, so with all her strength, Lilian shouted again for help. "H-Help! Help me!" Lilian sessfully got the attention of the woman who happened to be Penny, the witch who confirmed her pregnancy. "L-Lilian?" Penny asked as she looked at her with her confused expression but it vanished immediately. It was reced by her worried expression when she saw the blood on Lilian''s thighs. "What happened to you? G-Goodness, you''re bleeding!" Penny blurted out and rushed to Lilian and held her arms. "Penny, help me. Please, my baby! Please, save my b-baby..." Lilian almost whispered. She was relieved that finally, someone will now help her but she''s still worried about her baby. She''s silently hoping that everything will turn out well after this. Secondster, Lilian finally fell into deep slumber. LILIAN WOKE up with an aching body. When she''s finally conscious, her brows furrowed when she saw that she''s inside an unfamiliar room. The walls are made with mostly wood. Some heads of wild animals are hanged there too as a disy. There''s also a table at the side, at the top of it are some bottles and tubes, maybe some herbal medicine? Lilian is not really sure. "You''re finally awake." Lilian nced at the door when someone came inside. It was Penny. She was holding a tray with a teacup on it. "P-Penny..." Lilian''s voice was still hoarse. She tried to get up from the bed and lean on the headboard then looked at her. "Drink this. It will help you to regain your energy," Penny said and sat beside her then gave her the teacup. There''s a green liquid on it and it was still smoking hot. Penny assisted Lilian to drink it slowly. The taste of the liquid was actually bitter but Lilian didn''t mind it and just drank it. "W-What happened?" she asked Penny and tried to remember how she got in there. "You''re in my house right now. I''m sorry, I took you here since I don''t really know where you live. You were asleep for almost three days." Lilian''s eyes widened a bit as she ced back the teacup on the tray beside them. "T-Three days?" Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Penny nodded. She tried to recall what happened. It hits her like a damn tornado. From where Alpha Karius broke up with her to the... baby! The baby! "W-What about my baby? Is my baby safe, Penny?" Lilian asked with her shaking voice as she held her stomach. Strange. It was really strange since she couldn''t feel anything anymore. It felt... hollow. What happened to her baby? "L-Lilian, I''m sorry..." Penny said with her now teary eyes. She reached Lilian''s hands and held it tightly, like she''s giving her strength to her touch. Lilian''s heart suddenly skipped. "Why are you saying s-sorry, Penny? What happened to my baby?!" she asked her nervously. Her eyes suddenly heated like she''s about to break in tears. She shook her head multiple times like she''s having an idea already about what happened to her baby. "The baby... the baby didn''t m-make it. I''m sorry, Lilian. I tried to save you but the baby..." Penny sobbed and then hugged Lilian so tight. She kept on saying sorry to Lilian and caressed her back softly. "Penny... no! My baby! Please, tell me you''re just kidding. My baby is still alive!" She cried on Penny''s shoulder. Her tears won''t just stop streaming down her face. Her heart was breaking as she thought about her baby... Her baby is gone. Her baby didn''t make it. "PLEASE, LILIAN. You need to be strong." Penny was the one who took care of Lilian. Three days have passed but Lilian is still mourning her unborn baby. It pains her to think that her baby didn''t even see the beauty of the world, she didn''t even have the chance to be a mother to him or her. Lilian smiled bitterly. She''s not even sure about the gender. "I don''t know what I''ll do with my life, Penny," Lilian told Penny as her hot tears brimmed the corner of her eyes. She was just staring at the ceiling of the room where she''s in right now, unmoving and doesn''t have much energy to exert so much effort. She felt weak. Penny sighed. "I won''t force you to move but will you be fine alone? I have to go somewhere. There will be an announcement in the Alpha''s mansionter. I think this has something to do with the rumor about the merging of two packs. Everyone must be there but if you still can''te, I understand." Lilian suddenly looked at Penny. "I''lle. I''lle, Penny," she told her that made Penny''s brows furrowed then immediately agreed. "But are you really sure? I know your condition--" "I''m fine now." She cut her off from speaking. She has to be fine. She needed to confirm and see with her own two eyes if Alpha Karius is indeed tying the knot with another woman, even if it will hurt her to the bone. "Okay. We''ll go together." Lilian let out a deep sigh before she forced herself to get up from the bed. Penny lent her a decent dress to wear. The dress was actually tight on her but she doesn''t have the strength to voice it out to Penny anymore and when it''s their time to leave, Lilian suddenly feels tense. She will see Alpha Karius again, that''s for sure. Penny and Lilian both went to the Alpha''s mansion. Like the previous days, the security was tighter this time. Some wolves were already entering the big gate in front so they blended in with them. Moments crept in her system when she realized that the whole duration with her rtionship with the Alpha, he didn''t even bother to invite her there. When the wolves were now settled on their seats, a man suddenly came up to the center making them all look at him. "Good day, everyone! This day is very important to our Alpha as he will announce something big to us. Kindly rx on your seats and wait for him--" "No need." Someone suddenly interrupted the man from speaking. It was Calyx with his most grim expression. "The Alpha is here... together with our future Luna!" he announced. And like a slow motion, Lilian''s gaze went to the man and a woman behind Calyx. It was Alpha Karius... and an elegant and pretty woman clinging to his arms. Lilian swallowed the lump in her throat as she looked at them both together. They looked perfect and happy. They are both smiling widely as everyone pped their hands on their arrival. Her hands automatically balled into fist as she thought about how happy he is right now with another woman when she''s still mourning their child. How unfair! He should experience her pain, too! He should be hurt too! As the lone tear escaped from her eyes, she promised to herself that Alpha Karius willter on taste her own revenge... her sweetest revenge! 06. The Assigned Room 06. The Assigned Room CHAPTER 06: The Assigned Room LOSING HER CHILD is also losing the other part of herself. Lilian never knew that she could go through this kind of pain. The rain is pouring hard but she couldn''t afford to leave the ce where she buried the little life from her womb... her baby. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "L-Lilian,e on. Let''s go back," Penny said beside her as she touched her shoulders,forting her. They are now both soaking wet from the rain but Lilian doesn''t really mind it. She wanted to just stay in the ce where she buried her child. She wanted to be with her forever. The rain seemed to understand what she''s feeling because it poured harder as her cries became louder. But then the scenarios that she saw a while ago made everything worse. Alpha Karius is now going to be with the woman on his level... a woman who has a nice background... unlike her who''s just an Omega. But how could he do that to her?! He ended everything between them just like that! He hurt her with his most sharpest words that stabbed her heart for a million times! He''s so cruel that she can''t help but to get mad at him! How could he even afford to act like that in front of the whole pack when here she is... grieving with their lost child. "I... I d-don''t want this p-pain anymore! I don''t like it! P-Please, stop the pain! Take it all away!" She shouted as she looked at the gloomy sky and held her chest. Penny couldn''t help but to also cry on Lilian''s situation right now. She knelt down on the muddy ground and hugged her sideways tofort her. Lilian doesn''t deserve this. She doesn''t deserve to lose someone very dear to her. She didn''t even have the chance to carry her first child in her arms. Although she''s clueless on the father of Lilian''s child, Penny had a hunch that her rtionship with her child''s father is not really good. Because Lilian should not go through this kind of pain alone. Where is her child''s father? Penny couldn''t help but to think about it. She wanted to ask Lilian but it''s not the right time to ask, seeing her state right now. "Hush now, Lilian..." she whispered to her as her eyes were getting misty from the rain and her own tears. Penny only wished that Lilian would be fine soon. She''s not that close to her but she hopes and prays that her pain will end eventually. LIVING WITHOUT A purpose. That''s what Lilian thought as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror. She lost weight and has bags around her eyes. Her lips are dry, the same as her own hair. It feels like she''s already dead even though she''s still literally alive. She sighed before washing her own face with the cold water. Today, she''ll be facing another challenge of being the lowest of the low in the pack. She will go out to do the duties of an Omega... the ve of the higher ranked wolves. It hurts that until now, the system of the pack is still trashy. Everyone should be treated fairly even though they don''t have the same ranks. After fixing herself, Lilian went out without any hint of emotion on her face. When she went out, she saw some kids running around while carrying a basket full of newly harvested fruits and vegetables, even heavier than their weight. At their young age, they are supposed to have fun and studying but since they have a fucked up system in the pack, they are forced to do thebor. Lilian pursed her lips. She failed to recognize all of this as she was too blinded with the idea of being in love secretly with Alpha Karius that much. She failed to see the hardships of the Omegas like her inside the pack. "Lilian!" Lilian straightened her back when she heard the familiar voice of the head of the Omegas. It was rine. They are not that close but rine is nice. She''s five years ahead of Lilian. rine looked tired as she caught her own breath and held her chest. She''s thin, probably because of too much work she''s facing everyday. But despite the wrinkles on her face, it can''t be denied that she''s a pretty woman. "Hey, rine," Lilian said dryly. She has actually no strength to interact that much to anyone right now but she doesn''t want to appear rude in front of her. "Good thing I saw you! Mason instructed me yesterday to go to the Alpha''s mansion today. They are in need of cleaners since our Luna is moving in," rine said with a glint of happiness in her eyes. Lilian couldn''t help but to bite her lower lip when she saw the glint of hope in rine''s eyes. Compared to the other works, cleaning the Alpha''s mansion was the most lightest work to handle. If they were in another situation right now, Lilian would probably feel happy and jump in so much excitement. Because there''s a chance that she would see Alpha Karius again. But she could only feel the anger inside her with the idea that she''s going to see Alpha Karius again. She secretly clenched her own fists. And, what? The Luna is moving in? That means they are going to live on one roof? Lilian couldn''t help but to think about it. "Okay..." she answered weakly with a slight smile on her lips, masking the anger and pain she felt. rine clung to her arm as they walked towards the other Omegas who were also waiting for them. They are all four Omegas that will go to the Alpha''s mansion right now to clean. "This is my first time going to the mansion! I''m so excited!" said Dahlia. She''s the youngest among the four. Compared to their heights, Dahlia is the smallest and also the most approachable among them. "Cut that, Dahlia. I know you''re just excited to see the Alpha. Stop daydreaming about him ending up with you. He already has his own Luna," Jasmine said with her coldest tone while holding the cleaning materials that they are going to useter. "I know that, Jasmine!" Dahlia rolled her eyes. "I know, they already announced our new Luna but... I''m just wondering... is she really our Luna? I mean, is she already mated to Alpha Karius? We all know how sacred the mating process is in our pack. It will be a shame for Alpha Karius to end up with someone who''s not even his mate--" "Shh! Stop talking about that! Someone might hear you!" rine cut Dahlia off from speaking. "Get ready. Mason will be the one to fetch uster." Dahlia just pouted and rolled her eyes. Jasmine just shook her head at her childishness and remained quiet until they reached the meeting ce where Mason was going to fetch them. Momentster, they saw him standing seriously near the entrance of the vige where most of the Omegas reside. Omegas are really considered as the ''outcast'' in the pack so they are separated from the higher ranked wolves. Disgust is evident on Mason''s face as he looks at the Omegas working their ass off walking around and doing their duties. He even hissed at someone who almost bumped on him but he let it pass the moment he saw the four of them. "Let''s make things clear here. Don''t ever make a fucking mess inside the Alpha''s mansion. Our Luna is also there. If by any chance that one of you will create a scene there, I''ll dly personally punish you." Mason threatened them before he gestured his head to follow him. They walked all together following Mason, not daring to talk, afraid that they might offend him. It took them a couple of minutes when they reached the Alpha''s mansion. They were weed by the head of the helpers, an elderly woman who''s obviously waiting for them. "Here they are, Nadia. You are free to punish them if they make a mistake," Mason said as he looked at the four of them with his threatening expression again. "I''ll go for now. I have to check on those filthy Omegas who are working on the tunnel." Lilian gulped at Mason''s words as she inhaled a deep breath to stop herself from talking back. Mason She wanted to shout at him for calling them filthy but she just clenched her own fist to stop herself. He left immediately after that. The elderly woman that Mason called Nadia just nodded her head. She looked serious and reminded Lilian, the antagonist in the book that she read before. Her hair is in a neat ponytail that defines her high cheekbones. Her lips are on its grim line as she looks at the four of them from head to toe, like she''s judging them through her stares. "Come inside. I''ll assign the four of you to the rooms where you could work," Nadia told them with her coldest tone as she made her way inside the mansion. When they got inside, she looked at the four of them again and pointed at Lilian. "You. I''ll assign you to the room of our Luna. You better do your thing as quickly as possible because Alpha Karius will also upy that room soon." Lilian gulped. She doesn''t know but she had a feeling that what she''s going to do won''t turn out well. But then she smiled bitterly when she realized what Nadia said. So... they are going to sleep in one room soon, huh. Who knows what they ''re gonna do behind closed doors alone. Of course, they wouldn''t just stare at each other. They will do more than that. And thinking about those things hurts Lilian despite the anger she''s feeling. Not long enough, they will produce their own pups that will be the next in line to their throne. A happy family... Bitterness crept in Lilian''s system as she suddenly remembered her little angel who passed away. She couldn''t help but to think how Alpha Karius could continue his life normally after he hurt her without remorse. 07. The Punishment 07. The Punishment CHAPTER 07: The Punishment "LET''S SWITCH!" Dahlia insisted as she went to Lilian with her puppy eyes and sping hands. She''s obviously hoping that Lilian would switch rooms with her and clean the room of the Alpha. If Lilian is in a different situation, of course, she would love that idea but she can''t just defy Nadia''s words... or make a mistake because of Mason''s threat earlier to them. Lilian sighed. "We can''t. Nadia already told you where to clean. We can''t just disobey her," she said calmly to her. "Don''t push it, Dahlia. Just go to your designated room and start cleaning. We can''t just ck off here," rine said, this time with her most authoritative tone as the head of the Omegas. Even though rine always looked positive and jolly, she''s sometimes strict on the rules. One of the reasons why she has been selected as the Omega''s head. "Fine!" Dahlia pouted and stomped her foot, marching away from them to go to the room where she''s assigned. rine and Lilian just looked at each other and shook their heads. Jasmine already left and started cleaning. rine looked at Lilian with concern in her eyes. "Are you sure you''re gonna be okay cleaning that room?" she asked. "Yeah. Why wouldn''t I be?" Lilian asked her. rine was about to say something but then she sighed and didn''t push it anymore. Lilian tilted her head a bit, realizing something. It seems like rine knew something as she looked at her eyes. She''s not sure but it seems like rine''s eyes are screaming with worry and pity, which she''s not sure where ising from. Lilian had a hunch but... Is it possible that she knew about her secret rtionship with Alpha Karius before? Lilian shook her head with that idea. That''s impossible. Only Calyx knew about their rtionship. And Alpha Karius made sure that no one would know about it. And aside from that, they had been careful in their rtionship. So, her hunch is certainly not right. "Nothing. So, I shall go now to fulfill my duty. Bye for now," rine said as she waved her hand and left Lilian with her deep thoughts. When Lilian was left, she decided to open the room and sighed. She''s being paranoid again. Might as well fulfill her duty as soon as possible to leave the mansion immediately. A spacious room weed her. The walls are painted with white and decorated with some old paintings that she''s sure cost a fortune. There are also some books on the shelf. She scoffed when she was able to sniff the familiar scent of the man who hurted her. She always loved to sniff that scent before but now, it makes her vomit. She hates it now. "So, this is also going to be his room, huh..." Lilian whispered to herself with a bitter smirk formed on his lips. She saw some bags at the side of the bed. She assumed that it was owned by Luna who''s also going to upy this room from now on. Maybe it was her luggage. It was a torture staying inside the room as Alpha Karius scent is also lingering around. She started cleaning and wiping the dust at the table when suddenly, the room at the corner opened revealing a woman wearing a robe. She''s wiping her wet hair with another towel as her sweet scent starts to linger in the air. Her skin is tan like those Latina women she sees in magazines. Even though her body was covered with a robe, Lilian could tell that she''s sexy. She''s actually tall and Lilian has almost the same height as her. Lilian''s lips pursed when she realized that this woman was the same woman that she saw with Alpha Karius when Calyx made that announcement. It was his Luna. She mentally raised her brow. What are the odds that she''s going to meet Alpha Karius'' woman this way? Then, she realized that she doesn''t know her name yet. Even though Calyx already introduced her to the whole pack, Lilian wasn''t able to memorize her name as she was too focused on the betrayal and pain that she was feeling at that time. "What the hell?! Are you a thief? Why did you enter this room?!" Lilian''s eyes widened in fraction at the woman''s sudden usation. And heck, a thief? Lilian is so sure that even though she''s wearing an old dress, she doesn''t look like a thief. In fact she''s presentable enough and for her to conclude that she''s a thief slightly insulted her. "I''m not a thief," Lilian calmly said to her. "I''m sorry. I''m here to clean the room--" "I don''t believe you! Strip! Maybe you''re hiding something inside your clothes! Did you steal something?!" She ordered as her tone raised a bit, making Lilian gasps. "W-What? I didn''t steal anything!" Lilian slightly shook her head, as if it was enough to make the woman believe that she''s not really a thief. "That''s an order from your Luna! You''re going to strip or I''ll be the one to strip you?" She threatened as she red at Lilian. Her eyes turned cobalt blue a bit, a sign that she''s wolfing out. Lilian''s mouth hangs open as fear starts to consume her system. But then she couldn''t help but to feel disappointed. So, this is the Luna of the pack, huh. She just jumped into conclusion that she''s a thief without even hearing her proper exnation or looking at the cleaning tools that she''s holding! She doesn''t want to say it but Luna is really stupid for thinking that way of her! Even though Lilian wanted so badly to defend herself and tell her that she''s not really a thief, she calmed herself to not burst in anger. How could this woman use her of something that she didn''t even do? "I won''t strip because I''m not hiding anything." This time, Lilian''s voice is filled with conviction. "Like I said, I''m here to clean. Now, please excuse me--" "You dare to talk back to your Luna, huh!? I won''t tolerate this!" She shouted again and suddenly advanced towards Lilian''s direction. Lilian was rmed and as a defense mechanism, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, afraid that she might really strip her like she was saying. But what Lilian didn''t seeing was the hard p that crossed her cheek. Her nails brushed on her skin, causing it to bleed. Since she''s an Omega, the healing of the wound that the woman caused was slow. Lilian could feel the sting on her cheek that she wasn''t able to move quickly. She remained looking at the floor, her hair slightly disheveled because of the impact of her p. Damn. That was one painful blow. "Now, I know why your attitude stinks. You''re just a low ss wolf, a stupid and dirty omega," the woman said and suddenly forcefully pulled Lilian''s clothes, tearing it off from her body. "N-No! Please!" Lilian pleaded when she noticed that she''s really serious about stripping her clothes off. She tried to dodge her hands but she just received another p from her, causing her head to spin a bit. "Please, s-stop!" "Why don''t you want to strip, huh? It makes me really believe that you''re a thief!" She forcefully pulled Lilian''s dress until her undergarments were revealed in front of her. Her bra and panty are now on full show. A lone tear escaped from Lilian''s eyes, thinking how selfless her situation is. Even if she''ll scream and ask for help, for sure they wouldn''t listen to her. Why would they even listen to an Omega anyway? Lilian''s skin is now full of scratches as her eyes are getting blurry because of her own tears. But the woman didn''t stop from hurting her even though she already saw that she''s not hiding something. She''s unstoppable, like no one could stop her anger right now. She continued hitting her without remorse. "Luna Gianna!" Just when she''s about to drop on the floor, Nadiaes inside gasping in shock. Nadia''s eyes were widening as she looked at the helpless Lilian on the floor. But instead of helping her, Nadia went to their so-called Luna and scanned her body if she was hurt. "W-What happened here, Luna?" Nadia asked, not minding Lilian on the floor crying without any sound. "Call Mason and fucking punish this woman! She''s a thief!" She pointed at Lilian in anger as she breathed heavily. Nadia didn''t say a word. Lilian saw Nadia nodded before she stormed out of the room. "You won''t get away from this, woman! I''ll make sure that Alpha Karius will also know about your rotten attitude." Lilian didn''t bother to say a word anymore, afraid that might anger add to her anger. She didn''t dare to say a word that might trigger her even more. It seems like the Luna of the pack has an anger issue that sheshed out on her just like that. Momentster, Mason came inside with his serious expression. "You called for me, Luna?" He asked before drifting his gaze on Lilian. "Take this bitch with you and punish her." Mason didn''t say a word and suddenly pulled Lilian harshly on the floor. Lilian tried to get away from Mason but his grip just tightened that she could feel how it bruised her skin. Mason is clenching his jaw as his eyes turned to slit.l "M-Mason, please... I didn''t do anything. B-Believe me..." Lilian pleaded helplessly, hoping that Mason would still listen to her and spare her even though it was already impossible. "Shut the fuck up! What did I tell the four of you a while ago, huh? I''ll punish you personally if you''re going to make a mess!" He continued pulling Lilian harshly again until they reached the entrance of the mansion and there, they saw Alpha Karius and Calyx who''s about to go inside. They are both sporting their serious expression but then their brows furrowed when they saw Lilian being pulled by Mason harshly. Mason bowed his head a bit as a sign of respect to the Alpha. "Where are you going to take her?" Calyx was the one who asked first. Alpha Karius remained quiet but Lilian looked at him with her teary eyes, hoping that he would help her. If there''s someone who could still change Mason''s decision to punish her, that would be Alpha Karius. His jaw only clenched before looking away, as if he''s disgusted to look at Lilian, making her cry even more. "I''ll punish her. It was an order from Luna Gianna," Mason answered. "So, if you''d excuse us..." he trailed. "B-But..." Calyx looked at Lilian once again before his gaze drifted to Alpha Karius who''s still not saying Content held by N?velDrama.Org. anything. He then sighed when he realized that the Alpha has no n to say a word on this. When Mason realized that Calyx and Alpha Karius had nothing to say anymore, he pulled Lilian again. Lilian tried to look back at Alpha Karius, hoping that he would still say something but there''s none. He ignored her, making her chest hurt even more. She''s so mad at him. So mad that she had a thought on hurting him, too. 08. The War Has Begin 08. The War Has Begin CHAPTER 08: The War Has Begin "FASTER, DAMN IT!" Mason hissed at Lilian when she slowed down from walking. He''s now preparing his ck horse before he grabbed her wrist and put a rope around it. He tightened the rope, securing her both wrists won''t move freely. Lilian looked at him with confusion as her heart hammered against her chest in so much fear. "W-What are you doing?" Lilian asked with her trembling tone when Mason suddenly rode the ck horse. The rope that''s tightened on her wrists is attached on the horse''s head, slightly pulling her hand as it moves. She gulped as her gaze went to the wide field in front of them. The sunlight is hurting her skin since she''s still wearing her undergarments. She felt the heat on her cheek when she realized that she''s too exposed in front of the wolves. There are some wolves walking around and busy with their own work. Some of them stared at her and Mason but didn''t say a word and just acted like nothing was happening, afraid that Mason will get angry if ever they meddle on what he''s doing. "You disgusting Omega! How dare you mess up with the Luna?!" Mason shouted as he nced at the wolves on the field before pointing at Lilian. "Everyone, listen to me! This woman right here is a thief! Our Luna Gianna was the one who caught her!" A series of gasp escape from the mouth of the wolves who heard what Mason said. Their eyes are widening as if they are too shocked by the news that he suddenly blurted out. Lilian wanted to defend herself and tell them the truth like the way she told Luna that she was wrong in her usation but no words came out from her mouth, like she was too tired of exining herself since she already knew that they wouldn''t believe her in the first ce. An Omega like her has no rights to say what she or he wants that easily. No one will even bother to listen to her. "What?! She''s a thief!?" "Oh, goodness! She should be punished!" "How dare she?!" The wolves started to murmur something that Lilian could barely understand. Her eyes are getting blurry because of her own tears as her head is spinning so bad. Lilian was just looking down, staring at her own feet while hearing the murmurs of the wolves, sobbing quietly and making sure that they wouldn''t see her tears streaming down her face. "Don''t worry, ya''ll! This woman will be punished to not make the same mistake again. We will make sure that she won''t have another victim again," Mason said sharply before looking at the horse he''s riding and suddenly whip its back making it neigh and start to run. Fear embraced Lilian''s system when she realized that she would be pulled as the horse ran fast! Lilian had no other choice but to also run but then the horse ran so fast that she couldn''t keep up with its pace anymore. Mason kept on whipping the horse back, making it run faster so she had no choice but to also fasten her pace. No one bothered to help her. The wolves are just watching her being pulled harshly by the horse that Mason is riding. Lilian is getting tired as her throat went dry because of the hotness of the sunlight. Until Lilian couldn''t keep up anymore. She dropped on the ground while she''s being pulled by the horse, trying to escape from the rope around her wrists but it was so tight that she couldn''t even remove it. Her body was brushed harshly on the ground because of the sharp rocks and humps. It hurts her to the core that she couldn''t help but to scream in so much pain. Not to mention that the healing of the wounds are also slow, making everything worse. "S-Stop! Please, stop!" Lilian shouted as her body started to bleed because of the sharp rocks. But Mason didn''t stop. He keeps on making the horse run while Lilian is being pulled harshly. She couldn''t even turn into her wolf form since she couldn''t concentrate and focus anymore. She was too consumed by her own fear and the physical pain on her body. The ground was so rough that she was stabbed by the sharp twigs of a tree, making her wince in pain. "Ah!" Lilian shouted when she felt the twigs ripped on her skin. She''s bleeding and the pain won''t just go away because her healing is so slow since she''s an Omega. Lilian''s eyes are closing already as her head spin. Her throat is getting dry because of the heat and so This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. much shouting, pleading that Mason will hear her and stop what he''s doing to her. But he didn''t listen. He never listens to her pleas and beggings. There''s a smug smirk on his lips as he rode the horse, whipping its back to make it run fast. When Lilian thought that everything was finished already, a tall man suddenly came to Mason, making the horse stop from pulling her harshly. The tall man was blurry in front of Lilian''s eyes but she was able to hear what he said to Mason. "This is another order from Luna. She said that you should kill Omega, she''s a threat to her rtionship with Alpha Karius," the tall man said, making Lilian''s lips slightly hung open. What did he say? There''s another order from Luna and that was to kill her? She gasped. Even though she already epted the fact that she''s living without a purpose already, she couldn''t help but to feel sad about the reason for her death. This is absurd, Lilian thought. After what she heard, she had already concluded that Luna Gianna knew about her secret rtionship with Alpha Karius before! What the tall man just said is enough evidence that she knew everything about them. "Don''t worry. Even though our Luna wouldn''t say anything about that, I would still kill her," Mason said coldly before ncing at Lilian who looked weak and helpless. He smirked at the sight of her breathing heavily with bruises on her body. "After all, an Omega like her is too useless to be included in the pack. I won''t go easy on her," he added. At that moment, Lilian smiled bitterly. She suddenly liked the idea of disappearing in this world to be with her child instantly. After all, she''s been missing him ever since the day that he was taken away from her. With that thought, she fell into a deep slumber. * * * LILIAN THOUGHT THAT she''s already dead the moment she opened her eyes again. She imagined being in a better ce. She thought that she''s now in another dimension and happy with her child. But she was wrong. The moment that she felt the pain on her body again, she gasped in the realization that she''s still alive. And confusion is now written on her face when she sees the wolves in the pack looking at her with disgust and anger. They started to throw eggs and rocks at her, making her dodge it despite her body pain and bruises. "P-Please, stop!" Lilian crossed her arms on her head and avoided the rocks and eggs that were thrown on her. She started to sob and cry at the pain, begging them to stop. Her head is spinning so bad that even with the slightest movement, she''s passing out. She wanted to run but she''s caged inside a jail. She had no other choice but to just dodge the throws. "Kill her!" "She''s just an Omega! She should be killed!" "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Lilian couldn''t help but to cry helplessly. She thought that after being pulled harshly, she would die and her misery would end instantly. But she was wrong. Here''s another pain that they''re causing her. And what really hurts the most is the fact that no one had the courage to defend her. She saw Penny, rine, Jasmine and Dahlia in the crowd, crying for her. Lilian smiled bitterly at that sight. She couldn''t really me them. Their rank as a wolf has no power to make everyone stop. For sure, they are also scared for their own lives. The wolves only stop from throwing rocks and eggs at her when a tall figure of a woman stepped up on the tform in front. Lilian slowly held up her face and gasped when she saw the Luna of the pack, the sole reason why she''s in her situation right now. Luna Gianna proudly looked at the whole pack with an intimidating expression. The pack bowed down on her as a sign of respect. She''s wearing a dress that emphasizes her curves. She looked innocent but Lilian knew better. Behind her innocent face is a woman who has an anger issue and is willing to kill someone easily. Lilian is the living proof of that. Lilian was used of something that she didn''t do. That''s why she''s in her situation right now. "L-Luna Gianna..." she whispered as her hand balled into fist, trembling so bad upon looking at her. "I called you all here, my beloved pack, to witness how we punish this woman right here." Gianna pointed Lilian inside the cage who''s now breathing raggedly as she red at her. "This is for everybody to see that anyone who defies the order from the Luna... or from the Alpha will face a rightful punishment. And for the information of everybody, this woman is a thief!" Everyone gasped at what Gianna said and started murmuring something again. Meanwhile, Lilian looked down when she realized that their Luna was getting out of hand. Alpha Karius should stop her. She''s deciding for the pack when in fact, the Alpha should be also involved in this matter. What happened to him? Lilian couldn''t help but to think about the man who hurt her. "You know, it''s very important inside the pack to follow all the rules. This is to maintain a harmonious rtionship with one another. And what this woman did is not a good example to everybody, especially to the young pups out there. We can''t just tolerate what she did. We don''t want our pups to grow up seeing this kind of wolf, right?" "Right!" "Our Luna is right!" "Then, it would be better if we eliminate them early! What should we do to her?!" Gianna asked. "Kill her! Kill! Kill!" Everyone cheered like it was so normal to just kill someone easily. "Very well---" It was so fast. Luna Gianna wasn''t able to continue what she was saying when a wolf suddenly attacked the wolves in front, making everyone gasp. From the looks of the wolf who suddenly attacked, Lilian realized that it was an intruder. Lilian thought that it would stop instantly but then it didn''t. The wolves that suddenly attacked continued until some wolves came and also started to attack the whole Moon Stone Pack. Lilian''s mouth hangs open when she witnesses everything. The war has begun... but who are these wolves who suddenly came here to attack the Moon Stone Pack? 09. The She-Wolf Alpha 09. The She-Wolf Alpha CHAPTER 09: The She-Wolf Alpha IT WAS A BIG chaos. Panic and worry is now written on the eyes of the wolves of the whole Moon Stone Pack. Not to mention that their Alpha is also missing in action. No one knows where he is right now in the midst of this chaos. Suddenly, there was a big explosion at the side, just near Lilian''s cage. It rmed her seeing the wolves jumped because of the impact of the explosion. It pains her when she sees a pup running away for her life because of the fire that started. Few more minutes, if Lilian wouldn''t be able to get out of the cage, fire would consume her too. "H-Help!" Lilian shouted in fear as she nced at the chaotic wolves. They already forgot about her inside the cage! They are all busy saving their own lives. Some are already running away, and some are fighting the intruders who just suddenly came. Her nce went to Luna Gianna as Mason and the other wolves were busy protecting her. They now shifted on their wolf forms and are now attacking the intruders. Mason ripped the head of the brown wolf that jumped to attack Luna Gianna. Blood gushed out on the ground as the groan of the wolf echoed in the whole surrounding. Mason was ruthless, like no one would be able to stop him from protecting Luna. Lilian''s brows furrowed in confusion despite the worries in her eyes. Who are these wolves? She couldn''t help but to think about it. Everyone knows that the Moon Stone Pack is not just an ordinary pack, it has a strong force. And aside from that, Alpha Karius is also one of the most dangerous Alpha ording to some witches before. But where is he now? Why is he letting his pack be attacked by these wolves? "You piece of shit of a wolf!" Lilian heard Luna Gianna cursed as she kicked on one of the Moon Stone Pack wolves and used him to protect herself by the sudden attack on the intruder. Mason and the other wolves are now busy fighting the intruders so they aren''t able to protect Luna Gianna anymore. Lilian''s eyes widened in shock when she saw that the head of the wolf had been ripped because of what Luna Gianna did. How could she do that?! Luna Gianna just sacrificed a wolf from the Moon Stone Pack for her own damn protection! Without any hint of remorse written on her face! Without blinking! It made Lilian think that Luna Gianna could easily kill someone if she wanted to. How the hell could she do that to that poor wolf. Lilian''s anger towards her just heightened even more. It also made her think that she didn''t deserve to be called as the Luna of the pack if she''s this way. "Fucking protect the Luna!" Someone shouted to the whole pack, and they obliged. There''s a circle of wolves that surrounds Luna while the chaos is still going on. Everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for her, but Luna Gianna, for sure, doesn''t even feel the same. What happened a while ago is a big proof that she can easily sacrifice one of the pack for her own sake. Luna Gianna remained stiff, as if she was too afraid to lose her own poise on the sudden war between the intruders and Moon Stone Pack. She even fixed her hair that suddenly blocked her face. Instead of paying too much attention to Luna, Lilian tried to find a way to get out of the cage even though she felt weak because of the fire that''s getting nearer in her direction. Since everyone is too busy to even notice her, she was able to form into her wolf form. Her wolf is in its gray color, smaller "Ugh..." She groaned before using thest bit of her strength to destroy the cage. She repeatedly hit the cage using her wolf''s head until it was able to crack it open. Hope surged in her system when she saw that the cage had been destroyed already. Without further ado, she prepared herself from escaping. Momentster, she ran away from the chaotic wolves without anyone noticing her. *** "THE WHOLE MOON Stone Pack is in chaos! Aren''t we going to do something?" Calyx asked Alpha Karius as he puffed his own cigarette looking at the nice view in front of them. They are both staying inside Alpha Karius'' secret house just near his mansion where the chaos is going on. Remembering about it, he clenched his fist thinking that it was all because of Gianna Dorington, the daughter of the Alpha from the other pack whom he trusted the most. But his trust towards that pack is now tainted. Gianna is getting out of hand. She had been creating a mess in his own packtely. He thought she would be a great help to him and to the whole pack, but he was wrong. Now, he''s thinking how he would even remove her from his own pack. Even though his pack is considered as one of the strongest packs, a witch once told Alpha Karius that his pack will soon be attacked and dominated by the rogues. Rogues will eat all the wolves alive and as the Alpha of the pack, he should make a move to stop it. It''s better to prevent it while it is still early. And the best thing that he thought was to merge with another pack in exchange for the whole Moon Stone Pack''s safety. But what he didn''t see toe was the... marriage. The daughter of another pack wanted Alpha Karius'' hand in exchange for merging with the Moon Stone Pack, to strengthen their bond as two packs. Alpha Karius endured it all even though he was really hurting since he had to cut ties with his secret girlfriend, Lilian. It hurts him the moment he sees the tears in her eyes. But he had to... for the sake of the whole pack. He has been staying in his secret house for days now, not wanting to see Gianna''s face. It irritates him how she maniptes the wolves in his pack but they are doing him a favor. So, he had to keep up with all her antics. Not when he''s still thinking of another way to stop the rogues from attacking his pack in the near future. He sighed. "Let''s go, then," Alpha Karius said to Calyx before dropping his cigarette on the floor and stepping on it. Well, it''s still his mission to protect his own pack so even though he doesn''t really have the energy to see Gianna again, he decided to go to his mansion where the war is going on. Calyx nodded and then momentster, they went out of his house and shifted on their wolf forms. Alpha Karius'' wolf is in its ck color,rger than an ordinary wolf with golden eyes. It looked magnificent as they started to run towards the forest, on their way to the mansion where the chaos is still going on. *** TIRED AND WEAK, Lilian keeps on running away, afraid that someone will see her. She doesn''t actually know where to go. She only wants to get away from that ce. It''s not safe for her anymore. Lilian''s wolf has been protesting in her head for them to stop for a while but she didn''t listen. She kept on running and running until she stopped in front of a waterfall. She was breathing heavily when she decided to drink water from it. Her throat is really getting dry ever since earlier. She quench her thirst until her heart''s content. And because she was too weak already, she shifted back to her human form again, not minding if she''s naked and someone might see her. And as she stared at her reflection on the water, Lilian couldn''t help but to chuckled bitterly while her tears were streaming down her face again. She can''t help but to pity herself. How pathetic that she had she''s not sure anymore if she''s still included on that same pack, who maltreated her and gave her pain. Her face is full of bruises and wounds, she can''t be recognized anymore. Shaking her head, Lilian washed her face as if the water would be able to take away the bruises and wounds on her skin. Even her naked body is full of wounds and dirt. Her wounds from the rough ground earlier because of being pulled harshly by the horse are now healing. It wasn''t that painful anymore. "They hurt you so bad, huh..." Lilian straightened her back when she heard a voice behind her. She didn''t see thating! She didn''t let her guard down as she slowly faced someone who spoke, and just what she thought, it was a woman, based on her voice. The woman has naturally curly hair and a voluptuous body. She''s wearing a white dress that ends up on her toes. But what caught Lilian''s attention was the crown on her head made of rare flowers. It was shining even though it wasn''t reflected by the light. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "W-Who are you?" Lilian asked with her trembling voice but she remained stoic, not wanting to show any fear from her expression. The woman smiled. "I''m Calista. The she-wolf Alpha from the Midnight Pack. Do you want to be with us and escape from your current pack? I promise you, I will take care of you..." she said with a gentle smile on her lips. Lilian gulped. She thought a bit but then, she found herself nodding and epting what Calista just said. Well... she doesn''t like to stay in the same pack who hurted her anymore. She wanted to get away from all of them. 10. The News From Calyx 10. The News From Calyx CHAPTER 10: The News From Calyx THE WHOLE PLACE was a mess when Alpha Karius arrived at his mansion. He clenched his jaw at the sight of those bloody wolves as the fire started to consume the side of the house. He immediately he looked at the intruders. He clenched his jaw at that sight. His pack, obviously, is not in good shape right now. He can''t help but to also me himself for what happened. If only he didn''t pay too much attention to his irritation towards Gianna, maybe this will not happen. Maybe he was able to stop everything. Surprisingly, the intruders stopped from attacking the Moon Stone Pack when they felt the Alpha aura of Alpha Karius. As they should. Because Alpha Karius won''t think twice to fight back if ever they won''t stop from harming his pack members. It angers him how they easily get inside his pack, knowing that they have strong force plus they already merged with another pack. It somehow makes him think that they are not just ordinary wolves, or packs. Alpha Karius decided to talk to one of them through the mind link. "How dare youy a finger on my pack! What the fuck do you want, huh?" Alpha Karius asked as his wolf stepped forward. The intruders unconsciously stepped back while looking at him with fear. His ck wolf is emitting a dark light, making everyone shiver and tremble. One of them decided to talk through the mind link. "We came here to get one of our pack members. She''s here..." His brows furrowed, for that reason, they decided to harm his pack? What a petty reason! "And you decided to make a mess here without even asking me if who the fuck that pack member that you want to get?!" "Trust me. You wouldn''t want to give her to us if you''d know who it is," the wolf calmly answered as if he''s not even affected by his Alpha aura, or maybe he was just pretending to be tough since Alpha Karius could also sense the hesitation in his tone. "So, you resorted to killing my pack members?! How dare you all!" Alpha Karius roared and made sure that they saw his sharp canines. Even the whole Moon Stone Pack felt his powerful and dangerous alpha aura that they all looked down, not wanting to look at him. "Who the hell are you looking for? Everyone here is my pack member. They are all mine!" "You''re wrong." The wolf intruder chuckled insultingly through the mind link as his wolf shook its head, like he was also disappointed by what Alpha Karius said. "She''s ours. And we saw everyone here hurted her, even your Luna. It''s time for her to go back to us... her real family and pack." Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to feel confused about what the wolf just said. Who among his pack members are they talking about? Who could it be that they want to get? He clenched his jaw. One thing is for sure, he will protect his pack no matter what happens. *** "WHAT THE HELL have you done, Gianna?" Alpha Karius asked Gianna with his gritted teeth the moment she stepped inside the room. It was actually his room, but Gianna insisted on staying there so he had no other choice but to stay in his secret house to not see her often. It actually irritates him, he had to move out from his own mansion. Gianna shed her most pitiful face, her lips quivering a bit with her teary eyes. "I... I-I''m sorry, Karius--" "It''s Alpha Karius to you, Gianna," he said, cutting her off from speaking. He almost rolled his eyes at her for calling him that way. Even... Lilian doesn''t even call him by his first name. Thinking about her, Alpha Karius suddenly missed her. What he had with her is gone now. He needs to ept that painful truth. She''s better off without him. And he would be a big asshole if he will still continue seeing her in secret. After everything that they had been through, Alpha Karius finally came to realize that a woman like Lilian shouldn''t be kept as a secret. She''s a nice and amazing woman, he felt bad for keeping their rtionship hidden. If Alpha Karius was able to keep up with Gianna''s crazy antics the past few days, well, not now... not anymore. And heck, he did let her call him by his first name the previous days because he knew she was doing his pack a damn favor but he can''t do this anymore. He''s done with her. Anyone can call him selfish now but he doesn''t care anymore. She gulped, her expression changed a bit and was shocked for a second. "A-Alpha Karius..." "You punished an Omega without even informing me. You made everyone hate her, without even hearing her side properly. You used her of something that she didn''t do. Now, how do you want me to react about it, hmm?" Alpha Karius asked as he brushed his own hair with his fingers in a frustrated manner. "W-Why are you even defending that damn Omega, anyway?! You should side with me! I''m your Luna!" She told him, not realizing that she already raised her voice to him. Alpha Karius chuckled without any hint of humor in his tone. "Obviously, you''re the one who made a mistake here, so why should I side with you? Don''t make meugh. And you''re my... what? Luna? We both fucking know that what we have is just a damn set up. You know my stand on this matter." He doesn''t want to sound cruel but Gianna is really testing his patience. He never knew that she could be like this. He never knew that she would take it all seriously. All the things that he heard about her was good news. But maybe, all those things are just a facade to cover up her real color. She''s not nice like everyone thought about her. She has an anger issue. He had been observing her the past few days, too. "Y-You''re so cruel to me, Alpha Karius. I just want the pack to be better! And clearly, if that Omega won''t be punished, everyone will surely follow in her footsteps! If I don''t do that, everyone will not be afraid tomit the same mistake again! Why can''t you see that?" He sighed. He clearly got her point but... why did she have toe up with the idea to humiliate the Omega in front of all the wolves? She''s the one who''s cruel here! She can just talk to the poor Omega without humiliating her! "Stop your drama, Gianna." Gianna shook her head aggressively. "And I freakin'' know your stand in our rtionship! I know! I know that you''re not feeling the same way as me. But I still... l-love you. Even if it hurts." She paused a bit and chuckled dryly. "That''s the sole reason why I agreed on this set up. I agreed to help your pack and even persuade my father to merge with your pack to be close to you. Tell me, Alpha Karius. What should I do for you to also love me? What should I do for you to make everything real... without pretensions and all, hmm?" He clenched his jaw. Alpha Karius is aware of Gianna''s feelings for him but... what can he do? He will only love one woman in this lifetime, even though he already pushed her away. He already hurt her so badly that he doesn''t have the face to see her again. Lilian... he just hopes that she''s well and good right now. But then, thest time that he saw her was when Mason was pulling her harshly. And he didn''t do anything to stop him. Damn it. At that time, he asked a wolf to look over her and the wolf said that Lilian was already in a good condition at that time. Did that wolf... lied to him? He went back to reality when he heard Gianna''s sobs. "Nothing. Nothing, Gianna. I''m sorry but I can never reciprocate your feelings for me," he answered before leaving the room, not ncing at her again, but thest thing that he heard was his cries. In Alpha Karius'' head, he reminded himself to look for the wolf that he asked to look over Lilian after Mason took her. He needs to know about her whereabouts before he loses his damn sanity. *** WHEN THE NIGHT falls, Alpha Karius went back to his secret house again after visiting those wolves who were injured by the attacks of the intruders earlier. He was actually tired, physically and emotionally, now that the pack is also starting to question his capability as the Alpha since he wasn''t there when the mess happened. He sighed. It was exhausting but he''s trying to fix it all and gaining back the trust of his pack again. He''s also stressed out with the fact that the wolf that he asked to look over Lilian was nowhere to be found. He already asked Calyx to find that wolf but he still had no news about him. But that doesn''t mean that he would stop. He needs to know the news about Lilian. "Alpha Karius, I have something important to tell you," Calyx came, breathing heavily as he looked at him. "What is it?" Alpha Karius asked him. He alsomanded him to investigate what really happened before the intruders came, the full details since he wanted to make sure that he wouldn''t miss anything. "I... I finally got the name of the Omega that has been punished by Luna Gianna and the wolves in the pack. But... sadly, ording to some of our men, the Omega didn''t make it. She... died." Calyx looked down and sighed, like he''s also sad about the loss of one of their pack members. For some reason, Alpha Karius'' heart started to hammer so fast against his chest. What the hell? What is happening to him? Why is he this nervous as he hears Calyx''s news? "Say the name." "Promise me, you won''t freak out and lose your shit first," Calyx told him. Alpha Karius'' brows furrowed. "Just fucking say the name!" He couldn''t help but to raise his voice anymore. Calyx should not beat around the bush! He has too many things in his mind now, but here he is, can''t say directly what he wanted to say. Calyx clenched his jaw. "I-It''s... It''s Lilian Montgomery, your secret lover. I''m sorry, Alpha Karius..." At that moment, Alpha Karius felt like his world suddenly stopped from revolving as a loud explosion echoed in his ears. He felt his heart shattered into pieces as his tears started to well up his eyes. Did he hear it right? Lilian... His Lilian is... Damn! She didn''t make it? She''s... dead? 11. The Real Poison 11. The Real Poison CHAPTER 11: The Real Poison "YOU''RE FUCKING kidding me. This is not the right time to y around, Calyx. Don''t fucking test me," Alpha Karius said sharply to Calyx after dropping the news about Lilian. No, she''s not yet dead. What the hell is he talking about? That''s impossible! Calyx sighed. "I hope I''m just kidding, but I''m not. You know me damn well, Alpha Karius," he said weakly. Calyx is not really not the type to y around. And he''s always telling the truth to Alpha Karius, but it was really hard to believe him. Alpha Karius brushed his palm on his face in frustration when he felt like he''s about to tear up. He shook his head aggressively. "I will not believe you unless you show me the wolf that I asked to look over her. I''m sure he could tell Lilian''s whereabouts right now." "That''s another problem. I can''t find that wolf anymore but I asked the wolves in your mansion when the chaos happened. Some of them are familiar with Lilian so they knew it was her that had been punished by Gianna," Calyx said coldly. "But for your peace of mind, I will still find that wolf to confirm Lilian''s situation right now." Alpha Karius let out a deep breath before nodding his head. No, that''s not real, right? Lilian is not yet... dead. He''s just dreaming. Right. He should wake up in this nightmare now! But inside him, he could feel how his heart shattered into pieces the moment Calyx told him that Lilian didn''t make it. It feels like he couldn''t breathe anymore and the only thing that could ease his pain is to see Lilian... alive and breathing. That night, Alpha Karius spent his time looking at the sky, silently praying to the Goddess that Lilian is okay and well... that she''s in a good hand right now, wherever she is right now. *** THE NEXT MORNING, Alpha Karius went to his mansion to continue visiting those wolves who were injured yesterday, even though he doesn''t really want to since that means he will see Gianna again. She still pissed him off. He''s not sure anymore what he will do to her once he sees her. "How''s everything here?" He asked Calyx. Calyx arrived first at the mansion and Alpha Karius couldn''t be more thankful to him since the truth is, he''s not really in good shape right now after what he found out yesterday... about Lilian. Calyx was the one who instructed the wolves and witches to tend to the wolves'' needs since he wasn''t around awhile ago. "It''s getting better. I already asked some witches who have the ability to heal and they are now on their way here. Some of the wolves that have been really hurt so bad were the Omegas, plus their healings aren''t that fast, either." "Okay. Thanks for your hard work, Calyx," Alpha Kariua genuinely told him as he tapped his shoulders. "What about the other thing that I asked you to do? Did you find the wolf?" He wanted to know where that wolf is to know the truth about Lilian''s whereabouts. Calyx cleared his throat. "Yes, I already found him. I''ll take you to himter." Relief washed over Alpha Karius when he heard Calyx''s response. That wolf is the only key if he''s going to believe the death of... Lilian. He doesn''t want to believe yet unless the wolf will tell him everything. Alpha Karius busied himself that day with the wolves. And it was a good thing that they are all getting better even though some of them still feel distant to him since they''re questioning his capability as the Alpha of the pack. But he''s trying to win their trust again. He''s working really hard to make things right this time. He just hopes that Gianna won''t do something to make everything worse again. When it was already five in the afternoon, Alpha Karius prepared himself to leave the mansion to meet the wolf that he asked to look over Lilian. Calyx took him to the abandoned house just near his mansion. He went there immediately and Calyx weed him with a smug look on his face as his tongue poke his inner cheek while shaking his head. "The man won''t really talk and tell me everything. Maybe you could make him speak up," Calyx said as they went inside the room where he saw a man with tight silver chains around him. His eyes are blindfolded. Above him was a faint light from the yellowish bulb that''s also illuminating the whole room. Calyx went to the man and removed the blindfold from his eyes harshly. "The Alpha is here. Better tell us everything if you still want to live. He doesn''t have that much patience so be a good dog." Calyx even tapped the man''s cheek lightly. "A-Alpha Karius... spare me!" The wolf begged immediately as soon as he met Alpha Karius'' gaze, making him smirked when he saw the fear in his eyes. "Have you forgotten the fact that I''m still your Alpha, hmm? I told you to look over Lilian. Why did you suddenly disappear, huh? Where were you?" He asked as he pulled the hair of the wolf, showing his cold and intimidating expression. "Now, tell me everything that you know before I decide if I want you to live or... die." C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org He shook his head in fear. "P-Please, don''t k-kill me! I wanted to tell you everything but... b-but..." The man dodged his gaze and cried this time. Alpha Karius looked at Calyx, like he was also thinking the same thing on what just the man said. It seems like something... or someone is stopping him to tell them everything. "But, what? Tell me what happened after Mason took Lilian. Fucking tell me." "I... I..." He shook his head. "Promise me first to protect my family after this. I have a daughter, please look over her in case something bad might happen to me. Tell her and my mate that I love them both so much--" Sighing, Alpha Karius nodded his head, feeling impatient. "Fine, fine! Stop saying things and just tell me now or I''ll kill you for real this time," he said with his threatening tone. "T-That time, after you asked me to look over her, I didn''t really do it. I intended to not tell you, Alpha Karius, what Mason did to her because I was told to shut up... to not stick my nose on it and not report it to you..." "Who the fuck told you that?" Alpha Karius asked with his gritted teeth this time and clenching jaw. "I-It... it was Luna Gianna. She told me that she will give me money in exchange of not telling you what she did to L-Lilian. If I won''t obliged, she will do something to my family..." His breathingbored with his eyes welling up with his own tears. "After Mason took her, they humiliated her in front of the pack. Everyone was saying that she should be killed because she was a thief. She was used of stealing something even though she didn''t really do it. I saw her e-escape when the intruders came but... I-I''m not sure if she''s still a-alive. I-I''m sorry, Alpha Axel. I was too afraid..." With his heavy breathings, Alpha Kariua forcefully pulled his own hair again. "Fuck. If you were able to tell me, I could''ve saved her! Damn it!" He couldn''t help but to me him! If only he was able to tell him, then he would be able to protect her! Alpha Karius suddenly saw red all over the surroundings. His canines appeared as he punched the face of the man on the face repeatedly until he''s bleeding profusely. He let out all his frustrations by punching him too hard but then, Calyx was able to stop him. He tried inhaling deeply as he nced back at the man again who can''t be recognized anymore. His eyes were dropping as he coughed with his own blood. Sighing deeply, Alpha Karius closed his eyes when realization hits him. No matter how much he mes anyone, it will still be his fault. This will not turn out like this if only he''s good at deciding things. Now, he''s doubting himself. Maybe they are all right... that he''s not really a good Alpha. "If you want to kill him, then tell me. I would dly do it for you. Don''t taint your hand with that useless wolf," Calyx said seriously as he red at the bleeding wolf. Alpha Karius was so mad already that he wasn''t able to say what he wanted to say again. He only wanted one thing right now. He wanted to cut his ties from Gianna and their pack. Gianna is obviously the real poison here. He shouldn''t have trusted her since the very beginning. 12. The Talk With Penny 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 This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. 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! 13. The Midnight Pack 13. The Midnight Pack CHAPTER 13: The Midnight Pack "I''M SORRY, ALPHA Karius. I assumed that... y-you are the father of the baby that she was carrying. Lilian wouldn''t really say a word about it and I didn''t try asking her anymore, thinking that it might really be a sensitive topic for her." Alpha Karius clenched his jaw as his hot tears trickled down his face. He couldn''t take this news anymore. It was hurting him to death! He doesn''t even know that Lilian was pregnant! If he only knew... If he only knew that he was pregnant, maybe he could change everything. Maybe he could do better than this. His child... he wasn''t able to save his child! "I found her near the f-forest. She was asking for help. And I was horrified to see that she was bleeding that time but unfortunately, the baby didn''t make it. She lost so much blood but I h-helped her until she fully recovered." Everything that Penny was saying couldn''t seem to register in Alpha Karius'' mind anymore. It feels like he suddenly lost all his strength, his will to live and continue facing his fuck up life. He was crying without a sound, not minding Penny in front of him anymore. He wasn''t able to recover immediately and didn''t even notice that Penny already left him in his library who''s also worrying about him and reminded herself to look for someone downstairs that would look over Alpha Karius. He''s obviously not in his good shape right now. "L-Lilian... Oh my, Lilian. I''m s-sorry. I''m so sorry!" He said while crying as he brushed his own hair and gripped it harshly, like it was his way to pour all his emotion from his heart that''s shattering into pieces the moment he heard the news about Penny. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. First, someone told him about Lilian''s... death. And now, this... another death of his child that he didn''t even know in the first ce! The pain was so hellish that he suddenly wished to disappear! They had a... baby. A baby that he doesn''t even know. A baby that he''s not even aware about. He didn''t even experience how to be a father to his own child. He didn''t even know! It was frustrating as hell that Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to flip the table harshly. "AHHHHH!!!" He screamed so loud, not minding anyone that might hear his voice. His heart is ripping into pieces. He''s... evil. He''s ming himself for everything that happened to Lilian that he''s not even aware about. He should be the one who died! He should rot in hell and not Lilian or their unborn baby. They didn''t deserve it. He hoped that he could change everything to make Lilian''s life and the baby better. Lilian... how did she even cope with all the pain that she bears alone? He knew it was painful for her, too. And he''s a fucking asshole because he caused it all to her! Alpha Karius destroyed everything that he saw. He destroyed the sofa using his ws that he didn''t even notice that came out. He kicked the chairs and the small ss round table at the center. He ruined the books on the big shelves like it only weighed nothing. He also threw away all the disyed paintings and the curtains at the side... He poured all his frustration with all the things that he saw while screaming loudly. He punched the wall repeatedly until it created a crack. That''s when the door suddenly bursted open revealing Calyx and the other helpers in the mansion looking scared at him. Only Calyx has the guts to go closer to him. "A-Alpha Karius!" "Oh, goddess!" "Shit!" "This is really bad. Is our Alpha okay?!" The next thing that Alpha Karius knew is he suddenly felt Calyx behind him, stopping him from punching the wall repeatedly. But he didn''t stop like he didn''t notice him alone. In just one swift move, using his Alpha strength, he pushed Calyx harshly in just a snap. Calyx groaned as soon as his back mmed the wall in a strong force. And that made Alpha Karius go back to reality... "Fuck this..." Alpha Karius muttered as he leaned on the wall weakly and closed his eyes. His chest is so heavy after he found out everything. He wanted to... kill himself for everything that he had done. The pain is too much. He couldn''t take this anymore. Goddess... how could he take all the pain away in just a snap? *** "WHERE ARE WE?" Lilian asked when Calista took her to a ce where she''s not even familiar with. She was so tired. Her body is aching so bad but Calista was able to tend to her wounds earlier. Calista made sure that she was well taken care of. "Wee to the Midnight Pack, dear. This will be your new home from now on. Don''t worry. Everyone here is kind. They will treat you nice, unlike your previous pack," Calista said with a gentle smile on her lips. They are actually in the middle of a forest, it reminds her of the forest where the tree house is located where she usually meets up with Alpha Karius before. But in the middle of the forest is a huge traditional mansion where Calista lives and the pack. Some of the wolves are just living nearby. Most of their houses here are made up of wood and light materials and not that far from each other. The first thing Lilian noticed is the fact that the wolves here are smiling at her... which is so new to her. It made her flinch a bit since an Omega like her on her previous pack was always being insulted. They always looked at her with disgust together with the other Omegas. They would always make them do the dirtiest and hardest work. Which is so different here. "In here, no matter what your rank is as a wolf, we are all equal..." Calista continued as she gestured to her to look at the wolves who were busy helping each other. It was obvious that they''re living with a very harmonious rtionship with each other. Lilian bit her lower lip on what she witnessed. This ce... it''s very different from the Moon Stone Pack where she came from. "Leave your worries behind, dear. The Midnight Pack will treat you as family. I assure you that no one will be able to hurt you here..." Lilian gasped. She couldn''t believe that there''s a ce like this. "T-Thank you..." she whispered as a lone tear escaped from her left eye. "Thank you so much..." "No worries, dear. Come. I''ll show you your room." Calista raised her hand to wipe her tears away from her cheeks full of gentleness before caressing her hair lightly. Lilian couldn''t deny the fact that the same gesture warms her heart a bit. Later on, Calista held Lilian''s arm and slightly pulled her towards the grand staircase. The interior of the mansion is more traditional than the outside. The walls are decorated with old paintings of Calista and some other wolves that Lilian is not familiar with. They all looked really close with each other. She could see in the painting how good their rtionship with each other was. But she noticed something as she stared at the paintings. She didn''t see a man with Calista. Does she have a mate? She couldn''t help but to ask in her mind. "Maya, have you cleaned the vacant room on the second floor?" Calista asked one of the helpers. "Yes, Alpha. We already prepared everything," the woman that Calista called as Maya replied. Lilian suddenly gulped. So, Calista is indeed the Alpha of the Midnight pack. It was actually amazing for Lilian since it was very rare for a woman to be an alpha in a certain pack. Only a few wolves are in favor of that idea. But for Lilian, it was fine for her if a woman would be the one to lead the pack. If a man can do it, then a woman can do it, too! A woman can lead, too! They went inside an extravagant room, making Lilian''s mouth hangs open. The room was painted with white and gold. It was pretty wide for her, triple times wider than her previous house. "Did you like it?" Calista asked while Lilian was still gaping at the whole appearance of the room. "Y-Yeah. I like it so much!" Temporarily, Lilian forgot everything that happened to her because of everything that she saw here in the Midnight Pack. It was all new to her but she likes the sudden change in her life now. She loves it so much. Calista chuckled. "That''s good to hear, dear." "Is this really my room? I mean... oh, goddess. I''m not really used to extravagant things. I''m sorry, I couldn''t absorb everything that''s happening to me..." Lilian told Calista as she sighed deeply. "That''s fine, dear. And you have all the time to get used to these things here in the pack. From now on, you are my daughter," Calista whispered to her as she brushed Lilian''s hair full of gentleness and a small smile on her lips. 14. The Unexpected Question 14. The Unexpected Question CHAPTER 14: The Unexpected Question THE NEXT MORNING, Lilian''s brows furrowed as soon as she opened her eyes. The whole surrounding was so new to her. It was all... new and peaceful. That''s when she finally realized that she''s not in her old house anymore. The bed is toofortable for her. She could smell the faint smell of the fragrant flower at the veranda making her smile a bit. It was a nice morning because her body is fine now, it wasn''t aching anymore. She can now move freely without flinching, it must be because her wounds are all healed now. Lilian got up from the bed the moment she heard a knock outside the room. Quickly, she opened it and saw Maya, one of the helpers in the old mansion with another two women. They are all smiling at her. "Good morning, Miss Lilian!" They greeted each other in unison , making Lilian flinch a bit. They giggled at her reaction. "G-Good morning, too." "We''re here to assist you in fixing yourself. Our Alpha said that she will tour you aroundter," said Maya as the four of them came in. Lilian''s brows furrowed. "There''s no need. I can manage." She chuckled awkwardly. She''s not really used to someone helping her. She''s used to doing all the things on her own. "We know but we wanted to assist you. I''m Liza by the way," said one who''s thinner than Maya. "And I''m Kathryn. We''re the helpers in the mansion. We''re all omegas." That made Lilian gasp a bit. So, they are all omega, huh. But it seems like everyone is really getting along here. Even though the three women in front of her are omegas, Lilian could see that they are really happy. Maya smiled at Lilian''s reaction. "Yeah. Maybe we''re all omegas but we''re treated nicely. Alpha Calista doesn''t really want us to help in her mansion but we insisted. This is the least thing that we could do for her after she helped us." Liza and Kathryn also nodded in agreement. "That''s right, Miss Lilian. Alpha Calista is the nicest and the best Alpha of all!" Kathryn agreed. "Come on, we should bathe you now!" Lilian''s eyes widened a bit. Bath? Are they going to bathe her?! Like... they''re going to see her most private area and all?! She gasped at that idea inside her head. Her question was answered when Maya and Liza pushed her towards the bathroom. Kathryn was also pushing her from behind so even though she tried to get off from their holds, she couldn''t. Lilian had no other choice but to let them do what they wanted. Maya, Kathryn and Liza literally saw everything from her as they soap her. They even removed the hairs on her pubic area! It was embarrassing as hell but they didn''t seem to mind it. They were just doing their work even though Lilian was already blushing hard. "Wow, Miss Lilian! You literally have the sexiest body! You have a big breast and booty!" Liza said. She was flustered the whole time they were bathing her. After an hour and thirty minutes, they were done bathing her. They made her wear a white simple puff sleeve dress and let her hair down. They applied light makeup that emphasized her features. She nearly didn''t recognize herself when she looked at her own reflection in the mirror. Maya, Liza and Kathryn did well in fixing her overall appearance right now. She rarely tries dressing up before so she can''t help but to alsopliment herself in her mind. "Wow! You''re indeed pretty, Miss Lilian!" Mayamented when they''re done dressing her up. "Thank you," Lilian replied shyly. "Okay! Time to go out now. Alpha Calista is now waiting for you," Kathryn said as they pulled her outside the room that she had been upying since yesterday. *** CALISTA DID REALLY tour Lilian around the whole Midnight Pack. It was pretty wider than she thought. They even have a training ground where the wolves used to train every morning. It was mandatory to join the training as long as the wolves were of legal age. They also have a small school in which they teach children the basic lessons that they need to learn. They also have a couple of witches with them to heal the wolves in case they''re injured. "The training ground is open for everyone. It was mandatory for wolves who reached the legal age to train here for their sake. We were sometimes attacked by rogues here but thankfully, we managed to fight back because the majority of the wolves here are trained physically," Calista said as they both gaze at the open field where some wolves are training seriously. "What do you think about it?" Some are punching a sack of sand hanging on a branch of a tree, some are using knives and other tools in fighting. It was nice to see them help each other to learn. Lilian''s thought brought her back This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. suddenly to her previous pack. In Moon Stone Pack, there''s no proper training for all of the wolves. Only the higher ranked wolves had the privilege to train properly. "I honestly like it," Lilian answered as her gaze went to the two wolves at the side who were obviously flirting. The man helped the woman to target the bullseye. They''re learning archery, almost hugging each other. Lilian''s brows furrowed a bit remembering someone at that gesture of the two wolves. Well, she shouldn''t remember that very same man who hurted her. It''s just ruining her mood. "I know what happened to you in your previous pack. They humiliated and punished you for something you didn''t do, right?" Calista suddenly said that Lilian also looked at her. How did she know about it? Lilian is not sure anymore. "I know everything that''s happening inside that pack. I''ve been observing it for a very long time..." "Why?" Lilian couldn''t help but to ask. Why is Calista even observing the Moon Stone Pack? "Because I don''t really like their system ever since the former Alpha was still the one who''s leading the pack. And aside from that... I.. I am looking for my d-daughter..." Calista looked down as she mentioned thest word. She smiled, a sad one. "I have a daughter and I was away from her for a very long time. And ording to some witches I consulted before, my daughter is in the Moon Stone Pack. It was really hard for me to find her because she''s protected by one of the most powerful packs and no one couldn''t really invade their turf that easily." Lilian reached out for Calista''s hand and held it as if it was her way tofort her. "I hope you can find your daughter soon..." Calista just nodded her head before looking at the wolves training again. They both fell into deep silence as they observed everyone. Until Calista decided to break it... "Lilian... did it evere to your mind to... take revenge on your previous pack? To those wolves who hurted you?" She gasped, not really expecting Calista''s question. But then she slowly nodded without any hint of emotion in her face. "Yes. And I intend to make them all suffer in my hands... especially that very same man who hurted me the most." 15. The Daughter 15. The Daughter CHAPTER 15: The Daughter ONE YEAR LATER... LILIAN REALIZED SOMETHING after what she answered to Calista. She wanted to learn how to fight properly this time. She wanted to be strong... so that when the timees, she could face those who hurt her without trembling in fear anymore. She wanted to be ready when she faced them. She wanted to show them all that she''s not the same wolf that they humiliated and pained her before. That even though she''s just an Omega, she can defend herself properly now which she failed to do in the past. "Aren''t you tired yet?" Lilian stopped from punching the sack of sand when she heard that familiar voice getting near towards her direction. It was Jackson with a smirk on his lips. Jackson is actually handsome. He''s tall and dark and has curly hair which he tends to brush using his fingers sometimes. He''s actually considered as the most handsome male wolf in the pack. Every girl here likes him. Well, Lilian couldn''t really me them. Aside from the fact that Jackson is handsome, he''s also a nice man. He''s actually the full package, so female wolves are doing their best to have him but sad to say, Jackson is the type of man who doesn''t really y around with women. He''s just waiting for his mate to wolves of the Midnight Pack. Jackson is Lilian''s sparring body. If there''s someone in Midnight Pack that she''s close with, that would be him. He''s one of the wolves who made her life easier in the pack when she was still new. It was easy for Lilian to adjust before because of him. Calista also trusts him so she''s letting Lilian train with him. Lilian breathed heavily as she threw a nce to him. "Hey. Are you done teaching the pups?" she asked as she get the tumbler of water that he handed to her. Aside from training, Jackson loves the pups so much. He teaches the pups the basic lessons since they couldn''t really all attend in school to learn. Jackson is like a different man when he''s with the kids so Lilian knows how much he loves them. "Yeah. So, let''s do our one on one session now, I guess." She shrugged her shoulders and smirked at him. "I''m always ready, you know." "Hah! I''m not yet tired. Okay, let''s do this!" He said before he ran towards Lilian and attacked her. But since Lilian''s reflexes were fast, she was able to dodge Jackson''s punch. He repeatedly punches her but he is sessful dodge it. They trained for an hour and more until they got tired. That day, Lilian and Jackson spent their time training together. *** WHEN LILIAN WENT back to the mansion, her brows furrowed when she didn''t see Maya or any helpers lingering around. On an ordinary day, they would probably go towards her to assist her in changing her clothes. And would talk to her about many things. They are that loud but Lilian doesn''t really mind. After all, they became her friends already. Even though it has been a year after she got to the Midnight pack, she still can''t believe everything that happened to her. It was very different from her previous pack. Here, she was treated like a princess. She''s well taken care of by the helpers and Calista. She will be forever grateful to the wolves here. Sighing heavily, she went into her room to take a bath first and change into her mostfortable clothes, a white dress that ended just above her knees. When she''s done fixing herself she went down only to hear some noises at the dining area. It made her curious that she couldn''t help but to go closer. It seems like there''s a visitor in the mansion so maybe that''s the reason why the other helpers are not around. "I... I can feel it, Joseph! She''s my daughter!" A gasp escaped from Lilian''s lips when she heard the conversation. It was Calista and one of the elderly wolves in the pack. And did she hear it right? They''re talking about Calista''s daughter that had been lost for years? The news about it is not new to Lilian anymore since Calista always tells her that whenever they''re alone. Lilian should''ve left instantly since it seems like the talk between Calista and the elderly wolf seemed serious in what they''re talking about but something is pulling her to listen even though it was wrong. She has a feeling that she needs to hear what they are about to say. "Yes, Alpha. We know and we already confirmed it..." "See? I already told you the moment I got her from her previous pack! It was her! She''s indeed my daughter! And goddess... She was hurt by that same pack. I couldn''t take it anymore. She was hurt because I failed as a mother..." "No, you didn''t fail as a mother, Alpha. You did all your best to protect her from the very beginning..." "You don''t understand. If only... if only I was able to protect her during the war years ago... things will C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org definitely changed." "I understand you, Luna..." "Oh, Lilian... my daughter." The next thing that she heard was the loud cries of Calista. Lilian''s eyes widened in shock. It took her a couple of seconds absorbing what she just heard. It was hard for her to process everything as her hot tears trickled down her face. She can''t believe it! She can''t believe that Calista is her... mother. But she wanted to make sure! Is it really true? Did she hear it right? "M-Miss Lilian?" Lian flinched when she heard the familiar voice of Maya just a meter in front of her. She didn''t even notice that she came towards her direction. And as Lilian looked at Maya''s face right now, it seems like she also heard Calista''s conversation with the elderly wolf. Secondster, she didn''t notice anymore that Calista and the elderly wolf suddenly came to her. Calista is now crying so hard as she stared at her with full of gentleness. "I-Is that true? You''re my... m-mother?" Lilian asked with her trembling lips as tears pooled in her eyes. She never knew that she still has family. All she thought was she''s already alone. She was fine living on her own but it still hurt thinking that she has no someone to rely too whenever that she has a problem. Lilian couldn''t believe it! "Lilian... you''re my d-daughter!" Calista said as she went to Lilian and suddenly hugged her tight. "I''ve been waiting for this to happen. I never knew that you''re the daughter that I''ve been looking for! I''m so d I found you now!" "P-Please, tell me everything. I couldn''t understand... how... Howe? How did it happen? Why am I away from you for a long time?" Lilian asked with her trembling lips. And the moment Calista hugged her... Lilian suddenly feel the warmth of a mother that she didn''t feel for the past years. It felt so good. Calista unwrapped her arms around Lilian and caressed her cheek gently, brushing her tears away. "It was years ago when we were attacked by the wolves and rogues. The pack was still new at that time. Our force is not as strong as it is now. I l-lost you because I gave you to a trusted wolf but... but we never found her again! At that time, we lost you but I never believed what they were saying that you were already dead! And I was right! Oh, goodness! I can''t believe it! You''re with me now! P-Please, let''s not be away from each other again from now on... my daughter." Lilian sobbed. "M-Mama..." It escaped from her lips involuntarily. But it felt nice that she''s calling someone as her mother now. She will never feel alone again. She will never feel the void in her heart again. She feelsplete now. "If I was careful enough before, I should''ve never let you go! I''m sorry! I''m sorry, dear.." Lilian shook her head lightly. "I understand, Mama..." Lilian thought that Calista has so many regrets before. But she clearly understands now. Calista is also hurting for thest few years, same as Lilian. They are both in pain for being separated for years. But now that they''re together, they will not be separated from each other again. Calista nodded. "If only... if only I never lost you before, I was able to protect you from the wolves who hurted you! I promise... I will not let anyone hurt you again," she said as her eyes turned to slit, her Alpha aura rolled off her making Lilian also flinched. 16. The Excitement 16. The Excitement CHAPTER 16: The Excitement "I WANTED YOU to know that even though you''re my daughter, you''re still my pack member. Everyone is treated fairly here. Now that we''re on training, I will show no mercy," Calista said seriously a few days Until now, she still can''t believe the fact that Calista is indeed her mother. Calista treated her like a fragile woman this time. But whenever they are training together, she''s like another woman. She''s ruthless and shows no mercy like what she said. Lilian breathed heavily, feeling the pain on her stomach after Calista punched her harshly. They''re This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. doing hand to handbat right now. And Lilian could really see how good Calista is on this. Actually, even on knives and archery, she''s good at it. There''s nothing that she''s not good at, making her the most suitable Alpha of the Midnight pack. Lilian could feel her Alpha aura rolled off Calista like a wave as she seriously fought with her. "T-Then that''s good. I do not want to be treated like a damsel in distress princess," Lilian replied as she wiped the sweat rolling down from her forehead. Lilian decided to attack this time. She punched Calista on the face but she just kept on dodging it. Calista was so fast to the point that Lilian didn''t see the punch on her stomaching. Lilian was pushed backward as her back hit the ground, making her cough. "Urgh!" Lilian groaned at the sudden attack of Calista. She coughed repeatedly. "The Blood Moon is nearing and you intend to go back to your previous pack for revenge. And yet you''re not yet physically ready? Pathetic," Calista said as she looked down on Lilian, taunting. Lilian shook her head. "I''m ready!" "No, you''re not." "I am-- fuck!" Calista suddenly punched her. "Why did you punch me all of a sudden, mother?!" Calista smirked. "You talk too much. And really? Mother? I thought we already set our rules when we''re training? No mother and daughter right?" Lilian couldn''t help but to re at her. Well, she was the one who set that rule. Ever since Calista was the one who''s training with her, Lilian said that they shouldn''t treat as mother and daughter. Calista liked that idea even though she refused at first. Calista showed no mercy when they''re training. After a couple of seconds, they started to punch each other again and like always, Calista always won against her. Well, nothing''s new to that anymore. *** "AREN''T YOU EXCITED for the Blood Moon?" Maya asked a monthter after Lilian''s training. Days passed by really like a blur. Lilian didn''t even notice how days passed by quickly. She''s enjoying her training with Calista and learning new things about the wolves. She''s also studying with Jackson sometimes, one thing that she really enjoyed the most since she started teaching the pups a few weeks earlier. "Not that much," Lilian answered as she dried her hair with the towel. She just got out of the bathroom after she took a bath. "But what if your mate will be there? I''m sure that would be... awesome!" Maya said as her eyes glinted in so much happiness. The Blood Moon is a very special asion for the wolves. It is the mating night for the wolves. There is a traditional program hosted by the higher ranked wolves and will attend the party in an exclusive five star hotel. Calista will also attend and she will bring Lilian to the party to introduce her as her own daughter. It was actually crucial in Calista''s part as the Alpha of the pack since it''s very rare for the wolves to have a female alpha. However, Lilian knew Calista so much. She won''t back down if ever they will throw some insulting words at her. And about the mating process... Well, Lilian doesn''t really think that much about it. For the past years, she was fine not meeting her mate. She was fine because... Alpha Karius was still with her that time. But as of now, she never really cared about it that much anymore. Mate? Two wolves uniting for love? It''s just a bull of crap for her now. After everything that she had been through, Lilian refused to believe in those kinds of stuff now. Love is not like that. And heck, not everyone who''s mated loves each other. Some also cheat even though they are alreadymitted to someone. "I won''t go to that event to find my own mate, Maya," Lilian said seriously while looking at her reflection in the mirror. For the past months, she also studied her own expression. She learned how to hide her own emotion for her own sake. She also learned how to fake it. "But... why? To find your own mate is the most exciting part of being a wolf!" Maya''s tone was filled with disappointment as she pouted like a kid. "That''s better than being... mateless, right?" Lilian nodded and said, "I just don''t feel it." Maya shrugged her shoulders. "Well, if that''s what you want, I can''t do anything about it anymore. But may I just remind you that when your mate will finallye to you, nothing or no one matters to you anymore. The only one that you see is your own mate. And of course, the mating process during the Blood Moon is also about... sex!" Maya giggled. Lilian just shook her head and blushed a bit. Maya has already found her own mate, maybe that''s why she''s this excited for her to attend the party. She knew what would happen at that event. Maya was given by the moon goddess the most understanding mate. Lilian already met Maya''s mate and she can say that they really love each other genuinely. "Shut up, Maya." Maya giggled again, teasing her. "You wouldn''t know what would happen once you met your mate but you would surely feel the heat that you needed to release with him. There''s no need to stop yourself for the sake of your thirsty wolf..." Maya said and smirked at Lilian. She just shrugged her shoulders. Well... feeling the heat is inevitable but she will try to control herself at that moment. Love and mating stuff is not her priority now. And what''s really in her mind is the fact that she will surely see Alpha Karius in that party again. She will see the man who hurted her again. But well, this time, she''s ready and excited. She wanted him to see the new woman that she hurted before. What will he even feel once he sees her? And aside from that, she intends to start her revenge on that night of the Blood Moon. 17. The Remarkable Night 17. The Remarkable Night CHAPTER 17: The Remarkable Night "IT WAS EARLY in the morning when Lilian got up from the bed. After she fixed herself, she heard a knock from outside of her room. Shezily opened the door and saw Kathryn and Liza smiling widely at her while holding two boxes. "Good morning!" They greeted in unison and giggled as they looked at each other. "Yeah, good morning, too." Well, Lilian is not really in the mood early in the morning. She read a book it hard for her to forget the lines in the book. "Oh. You have an eyebags," Lizamented when she saw Lilian''s face then pouted. Lilian didn''t answer anymore and just let them get inside her room. They put the two boxes on the bed, still smiling. "What are those?" she couldn''t help but to ask the two of them. "This is the gown that you''re going to wear to the partyter!" Kathryn answered and giggled. "Hay... I just hope I could attend too but I''m still a minor," she added dreamily. "Even though you''re a minor, you''re still not allowed to get inside the hotel. You''re omega just like me, remember?" Liza replied to Kathryn. Lilian couldn''t help but to roll her eyes on what she heard. Well, the Blood Moon party will happen in a luxurious hotel and they prevented the lower ranked wolves from getting inside. The omegas have a designated area to stay at. They are not allowed to mingle with the higher ranked wolves since some of the alphas and lunas from other packs are still not open with the Omegas being with them. It''s sad that not only the Moon Stone pack has a rule like that. Only a few packs have embraced the reality that Omegas also belong to them... and the Midnight Pack is one of them. Thinking about it makes Lilian so proud to her second pack... the one who embraced her like their own family despite the fact that she''s an Omega even when they still didn''t know that she''s the daughter of their Alpha. Going back to the part, as of Lilian, she''s allowed to enter because she''s going with Calista, the Alpha of the Midnight pack. After Liza and Kathryn''s nonstop banters, they went out quickly to help Maya in cleaning the other rooms in the mansion. When Lilian was finally alone in her room, she couldn''t help but to stare at the boxes on her bed and smirked. Well, she intended to be the most beautiful and sexiest woman on that night... the woman they couldn''t have. She can''t wait for them to see their reaction. *** AT EXACTLY SIX in the evening, Lilian started to fix herself for the party. She skipped her regr training and studied earlier for the eventter so she will be in her best condition. Maya, Kathryn and Liza were the one who assisted her as usual. Kathryn was the one who did her make up while Liza is on hair. Maya is preparing her gown for her to wearter on. "What do you want to look like with your make up?" Kathryn asked Lilian. "I want to look... sexy and daring," Lilian answered as she smirked in the mirror in front of them. Kathryn giggled at her answer. "Hmm, I like that. Okay. I''ll start." Lilian just nodded and let Kathryn do wonders on her face as she closed her eyes and leaned her back on the chair, rxing as she tried to imagine what would happenter. She can''t wait to see the shock expression in their faces once they see her. She knew the fact that the Moon Stone pack thought that she''s already dead... especially their Alpha. Calista told her about that and she wanted to burst outughing on that matter. She''s... dead? What a news! She''s sure as hell that they will be really shocked to see her, alive and kicking again... the omega that they humiliated and hurted before, will rise like a bolt of thunder ready to strike them all. After more than an hour, Maya, Kathryn and Liza were done assisting her. Maya helped her by wearing her bloody red gown with a sweetheart neckline that emphasized her cleavage. There''s a high slit on her left leg exposing her creamy thighs. Her back is also exposed since it''s backless. Her hair is on a high ponytail making her neck and corbone in full show. Her make up alsoplimented her outfit. It''s a bit smoky and her lips are the same as the color of her gown. She looked like a viin in movies, ready for the most awaited revenge. Lilian couldn''t help but to smirk on her appearance as she nced at her reflection in the mirror. The threedies beside her really did a great job in helping her to achieve the look that she wanted. "Wow! You looked so sexy and alluring!" Lizaplimented. "Damn those curves! I wish I had that kind of body. Your boobs and butt are a big p to me!" "Oh, goddess. If I were a boy and at the right age already, I would definitely defy the moon goddess to have you as my mate instead," Kathryn said as she looked at Lilian with her twinkling eyes. "Well, I could even leave my own mate just to have her instead," said Maya, making the four of them bursted outughing. Few momentster, they heard a knock from outside. Maya was the one who opened it and it revealed Calista. Maya, Kathryn and Liza looked at her as if they''re preparing to get out of her room. Lilian just nodded before ncing at Calista again. Her mother looked breathtaking in her long sleeve emerald gown. She looked ssy and elegant as her hair was in a half ponytail that showed her high cheekbone. She looked intimidating wearing her crown that she only used for important asions or when she feels like to wear it. "Don''t you think you''re showing too much skin?" Calista asked as she nced at Lilian''s body. "I mean... don''t get me wrong, you looked pretty and alluring but I''m just worried about youter. I''m sure there are many male wolves that will ogle at you. It''s Blood Moon, may I just remind you that, dear." Lilian chuckled. Of course, she knew about that. Since it''s Blood Moon, the body heat of the wolves is higher than normal. "That''s the n. I want them to ogle at the woman that they can''t have no matter how much they want." Calista bursted outughing on what she said. "You looked fabulous and sexy, by the way." "You too, mother. It looks like we''re the same age." Calista rolled her eyes. "Oh, don''t fool me, dear." Lilian just giggled before she started a bit on Calista''s face. She suddenly realized how they look so much like each other. The uncanny resemnce is really showing once she stares at Calista for a couple of seconds. After that, they went out of her room as Lilian clung on Calista''s arm. When they got outside the mansion, the limousine and the driver were already waiting outside to take them to the five star hotel. While they were inside the limousine, Calista suddenly held Lilian''s hand making her look at her seriously. "Why?" Calista smiled. "This is my second time attending a party this Blood Moon. The first one was when I met your father, my mate. I never attended another party again after that." Lilian suddenly blinked, thinking that this must be too hard on Calista since it just reminded her of her mate. "W-What happened to him?" Lilian couldn''t help but to ask. She never opened about that topic to Calista since she thought that it is a sensitive topic to her. She never saw a picture of him in the mansion. "He... died. He died in the war where I also lost you. I was so devastated that day... losing the most precious wolves I had. But it''s all in the past now. I''m d that you''re already here. I''m sure your father would be very much happy wherever he is now," Calista told her as she smiled a bit, hiding the tears forming at the corner of her eyes. Lilian didn''t dare to talk about it anymore. It seems like Calista is really sensitive when ites to her mate so she didn''t push it again as she just nced outside the window the whole ride. It took them almost an hour before they reached the hotel. It''s also owned by a higher ranked wolf. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org They got out of the limousine and were immediately ushered by ady to the real venue. Momentster, they reached the real venue. And Lilian couldn''t help but to smirk when she saw some wolves checking her out like a piece of meat in front of them all. "Oh, wow. Everyone''s looking at you, dear. They are hungry for your attention," Calista murmured in his ear. Lilian just giggled at her remark. Shs shrugged her shoulders and smirked. This will be a very remarkable night for her. 18. The Comeback 18. The Comeback CHAPTER 18: The Comeback SEEING THE WOLVES looking at Lilian makes her burst out inughter. They are obviously checking her out like she''s some random celebrity. It was obvious that they were admiring her looks. They even heard them murmuring that maybe she''s a Luna from a known pack. "Who is she?" "She''s a new face. Maybe she''s a Luna from the Genesis Pack." "Yeah, maybe. The Alpha from that pack hasn''t introduced his Luna yet." "I must admit that she''s pretty and sexy. Look at those curves!" Lilian smirked on what she heard. Even the female wolves are talking about her. She looked at Calista on her side. It was obvious that some of the wolves were looking at her with their mocking expressions. But instead of being affected, she remained elegant and just raised her brow to everyone who would nce at her direction. "Oh, Calista! This is the second time that you attended this event!" Calista''s nce went to the voluptuous female wolf wearing a burgundy revealing gown going in their direction. Lilian is not familiar with her but based on the expression of the other wolves, this wolf is a higher ranked wolf. It was obvious that some of the wolves were intimidated by her presence. "Florence," said Calista with her serious expression. "Good evening," Calista greeted formally. Lilian suddenly sensed the uneasiness on her face but it was masked by a small smirk on her lips as her brow raised a bit looking at the woman named Florence. The woman that Calista called Florence giggled. "The ever formal and stiff Calista! What''s new? How are you? Are you still the trying hard she-wolf Alpha? Oh, ops!" She giggled again as she covered her lips in a sophisticated manner, like she didn''t try to offend Calista through her words. Lilian pursed her lips on what she heard as she tilted her head a bit. It was obvious that this woman named Florence was insulting Calista through her words. Lilian tried to calm herself to not scratch her on the face using her sharp ws. Her gaze went to Calista. She still looked unaffected like the words of Florence didn''t even hurt her. "Yeah, I''m still the ''trying hard'' she-wolf Alpha of the Midnight pack. At least I''m not the trying hard wolf who almost stole someone else''s mate before. That''s more gross, right?" Calista said with a smirk on her lips. The taunting smile on Florence''s lips disappeared in just a snap after what she heard on Calista. She was about to say something again when the big double doors opened again revealing a familiar woman with some wolves flocking around her as if they were guarding her. The attention of the wolves went to her as she took her way towards the center. Lilian tensed a bit as her hand balled into fist seeing the woman again. It was Gianna... the woman who humiliated and used her for something that she didn''t do before... the Luna of her previous pack. But why is she alone? Isn''t he supposed to be with her Alpha in going here? Why is she with the wolves guarding her and not... Alpha Karius? Her blood boils just seeing her smiling widely in front of the crowd as if she''s the real main event in the party. Lilian couldn''t take how she is able to smile widely like that as if she didn''t hurt someone before. It seems like everything has been so easy for her for the past year. And Lilian couldn''t ept it. Lilian spent her time training herself to be stronger so that once she faces them again, she''s ready and won''t back down anymore unlike before. She had it rough. She can''t remember anymore how many bruises she got just so she could learn in her training. She can''t remember anymore how she managed to study many things about wolves and other creatures. And here is Gianna... who seems to have everyone on her side. It was as if she didn''t have a hard time... unlike her. No matter how Lilian denies it, her heart hurts as shepares their state for the past year. She clenched her jaw at that idea. It was obvious that everyone was admiring her as she waved her hand to the wolves around. She''s wearing an outfit almost the same as Lilian but just different in color. They have the same style, sweetheart neckline with a high slit on the left leg and it''s also backless but the color is white. Lilian wanted to smirk at her outfit. The color white gown of Gianna is very opposite to her rotten attitude. It doesn''t suit her. Her wolf is even agreeing to her own thoughts, making her smirk wider while looking at Gianna. Her wolf suddenly wanted to brush off the smile on Gianna''s lips. "Calm your wolf." Lilian heard Calista whisper beside her, making her calm a bit. "It''s not yet time to show your ws. Let the wolves find their mates first." Lilian sighed. She didn''t even notice that she was already trembling in anger while just looking at Gianna. She tried to enjoy the party and just got wine to drink from the waiter who just walked towards her direction. The real party hasn''t started yet but the ce is now a bit crowded since some wolves just came. "Good evening, Calista! Oh. Who''s this pretty youngdy with you?" Their attention went to an old man walking towards their direction, not minding Florence anymore who''s just ring secretly at Calista before leaving them. The old man was being assisted by two other wolves beside him. "Good evening too, Alpha Facundo. We met again," Calista replied and shook hands with the old man. "Oh, this is Lilian... my daughter." Calista slightly pulled Lilian''s waist a bit beside her. Alpha Facundo is the Alpha of Nirvana pack from London. He''s mateless and still didn''t pass his position as an Alpha to his next sessor. But even though he''s mateless, his pack is famous since they had the most powerful within their pack, making everyone fear them. "Your daughter? You found her?!" There''s a hint of shock on the old man''s face that Calista called Alpha Facundo. It seems like he''s also close to Calista based on his tone, Lilian thought. "Yeah. You said earlier that thisdy beside me is pretty, right? Where do you think she got the looks?" Calista smirked at him. The old man chuckled loudly making the other wolves look in their direction, gasping like what they saw was a rare moment. "Yeah! I could see the resemnce very much. But her aura screams like your mate," Alpha Facundo said. "I''m sure that man is very much happy for you and your daughter now. Oh, I suddenly missed that idiot." Heughed loudly but Lilian was able to see the hint of sadness in his eyes. Calista smiled, a sad one remembering her mate again. "That... I''m sure he is." Lilian didn''t dare to talk anymore. She separated from Calistater on to look around. She''s wondering if she could see more familiar faces on this night. She had seen some popr wolves everywhere in the party that she just learned their names through the book that she had read before and she was actually amazed by that. This party is indeed a party for high caliber wolves. Calista talked to other wolves while Lilian was just wandering around and observing everyone. Inside Lilian''s head, she was actually looking for someone that she didn''t see ever since she came here earlier. Suddenly, she heard murmurs from the female wolves making their head turn to the entrance where a man came with an oozing sex appeal. It was... him... and he''s with his Beta. Calyx and... Alpha Karius. Lilian straightened her back at the sight of him again. Instead of the fast beating of her heart and butterflies in her stomach, she couldn''t feel anything but rage and anger towards him and his pack. He looked dashing and handsome in his ck tuxedo making the female wolves ogle at him, even the old ones. And to Lilian''s surprise, the color of his tie matched her dress! It was as if they decided to wear the same color for this night. She shook her head disappointingly when she thought that she shouldn''t make a big deal out of it! It''s just a tie! The masters of ceremony even announced his arrival like he''s a very important guest for this night. Everyone pped their hands looking at him. Alpha Karius was just looking seriously around. His Alpha aura can be felt in a few distance that every wolf that he looked at will look down, scared to meet his gaze. even Lilian could feel how his aura changed for the past year. It was heavier... and more ruthless this time. It was as if she gained more power. Lilian couldn''t help but to notice his appearance now... on how his looks and features changed a bit. His muscles and build became more rough this time, like he poured his attention on making himself physically fit for the past year. He grew stubbles on his chin, making his features more ruthless than before. He still has that dominating aura. His jaw is clenching as he was just sporting his usual serious expression. Even Calyx beside him also looked serious. He was looking around when suddenly Lilian met his gaze. His brows furrowed until his eyes suddenly widened as he looked at her. His mouth hangs open like he had seen a ghost. "L-Lilian..." She could read how he mouthed her name and as an answer, she smirked tauntingly at him as she sipped on her wine seductively. Yeah, right. That''s it. He should be shocked at hereback. Because now that they see each other, C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org she will now start her revenge. 19. The Wolf In Heat 19. The Wolf In Heat CHAPTER 19: The Wolf In Heat THE PARTY HAS OFFICIALLY started. The masters of ceremony told everyone to enjoy the party as the loud music started to y from the musicians on the side. The soft music started to y in the background. The music ying was sweet, making everyone get their partners to dance with. Lilian''s gaze went to Calista at the corner. Calista''s hand is being held by Alpha Facundo and pulled towards the dancefloor. Lilian smiled at that sight. Now, she could tell that Calista seems to enjoy the party even though she has been insulted by Florence a while ago. There are judgments on the wolves'' eyes while looking at Calista but she didn''t mind it anymore. Meanwhile, Lilian doesn''t really have the energy to dance with any wolves tonight. She was actually enjoying the attention of everyone looking at her but she will not give them the satisfaction to dance to any of them. Every male species in the party is hoping to dance with her but she keeps on rejecting them. Even from a far distance, Lilian could feel the stare of a man on her side. Even though she''s not looking at that man, she knows that she''s looking at her intently as if he wants to make sure if she''s even real or just his imagination. Her lips curved into a smirk. She''s enjoying how she could sway his mind just by only looking at her. It gives her so much satisfaction. Momentster, as she sips on her wine, a tall man suddenly stops in front of her, getting her attention. The scent of his familiar manly scent attacked her nostrils making her bite her lower lip seductively in front of him. She smirked again as she looked up to his face. She became taller too that matched his broad shoulders and chiseled chest. Her face is just on the same level of her chin even though she''s already wearing high heels. "Hi," she greeted him with a smile on her lips. She could feel his uneasiness as he looked at her face... like he''s memorizing every detail while looking at her seriously. "You''re... alive," he said, almost whispering thest word. He breathed out uneasily as his tongue poke his inner cheek then gulped. Lilian chuckled. "Of course, I am! Your pack failed to eliminate me before! Silly!" She told him, trying to lift up his mood through her shady joke but she didn''t even budge but it was obvious that she didn''t like what she said. "Oh. Now, what? You still don''t know how to ride jokes, Alpha Karius? Still the ever serious alpha of the Moon Stone pack, eh?" He sighed heavily. "Lilian... I..." He shook his head as he looked down like he was so ashamed to even meet her gaze. "I am... sorry. I am so sorry..." She let out a giggle again, as if she''s making everything lightly and just a joke. Well, she was actually surprised to herself that she''s not affected by his presence anymore. She only felt the searing anger in her chest as she looks at him now. Her affection towards him before every time he''s near is gone. Lilian could still remember how her heart thumped against her chest like she joined a marathon back then and the butterflies in her stomach that would run wildly whenever they were together before. Those memories are making her disgusted now. "Why are you saying sorry? For hurting my feelings before? That''s nothing to me now! We should just forget about it! I have moved on! It''s all in the past now." Lilian smiled. Yeah, maybe she has already moved on but she still can''t move on with the fact that he was the reason why she lost her baby before. She med him on her baby''s... death. She clenched her jaw, remembering it again but it was immediately brushed away when he took a step closer to her, still looking at her eyes.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "Can... Can we talk privately? Would that be fine with you?" he suddenly asked. Lilian immediately shook her head. "No," she answered. He sighed and nodded. "When will you have the time? Let''s talk, please..." Lilian secretlyughed. Wow. The alpha is begging her to talk to him. What a bull of crap! "Still a no. I don''t want to talk to you." He slowly nodded his head. "Then... can I have this dance instead?" he asked again as he looked at her with his hopeful expression. Lilian pouted a bit as she tilted her head, her finger slightly touching her chin yfully like she''s thinking how to answer his simple question. But then, an idea came to her mind. She smirked as she nced at the wolves who''s obviously looking at the two of them, observing what would happen next. It doesn''t surprise her anymore why they are hungry about Alpha Karius'' whereabouts. Everyone will be really curious about this man in front of her. It was Alpha Karius that she''s with right now so it''s a big deal for them. Of course, all eyes will be on him. "Hmm. Sorry, but my answer is still the same. It''s still a no," she said as she smiled, leaving him with his hand still in the air asking for a dance with her. Everyone gasped at Lilian''s rejection of the famous Alpha. Some of them are ring at Lilian but she doesn''t care anymore. She was just smirking as she saw the disappointment of everyone''s faces. *** THINKING ABOUT WHAT happened earlier makes Lilian want to burst out inughter. She watched Alpha Karius'' expression from afar and he looked really stunned by her rejection, leaving him hanging there while everyone was looking at him. Everyone didn''t really expect that the handsome alpha would be rejected like that when every female wolf wanted so badly to dance with him. Lilian was in a very good mood as he stepped inside thefort room to pee. She got inside thest cubicle and took it all out with a smirk. When she''s done, she went out to wash her hands and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked flushed since she drank wine earlier. Even though she''s a wolf, she''s a little bit tipsy now since she''s not really used to drinking wine or alcohol. She has actually low alcohol tolerance. She giggled when she remembered what happened a while ago again. She was smiling and didn''t notice anyone suddenly entered the room anymore. "Lilian... love.." Lilian''s brows furrowed when she saw the familiar face of Alpha Karius appeared in front of her. He had this pleading face again as he looked at her. "What are you doing here?" She asked with her sharpest tone this time. Since they are not in front of the wolves now, she can stop the show. "How are you?" He asked with full of gentleness in his tone. His eyes softened the moment he saw how angry she was right now. Sheughed mockingly. "How dare you ask me that question. I''ve never been this fine when I was still in your pack." "Lilian..." "What? Don''t tell me you have already forgotten my stand in your pack. I''m the thief omega who stole something from your Luna." "She''s not my Luna. My Luna is right here in front of me," he told her as he tried to hold her hand but she was fast enough to shoo it away by pping it. "Don''t fucking tell me that!" For some reason, her tears started to brim the corner of her eyes but she''s trying so hard to stop it. She will not cry in front of him. She will not show any weakness to give him the satisfaction. Maybe this is just the wine that''s affecting her system now. She should not act this way while he''s here! "Lilian... forgive me, please, love." "I will never forgive someone who caused me so much pain before. I lost a very precious loved one because of you," she said without any hint of emotion on her face. She remembered her... baby. The baby that she didn''t even have the chance to hold. She didn''t even have the chance to be called his or her Mama. She wanted to chuckle at her own thoughts. She didn''t even have the chance to know the gender of her baby. She stared at Alpha Karius with her most angry expression. She wanted to hurt him as much as he hurted her before. Fixing the side of her hair, she''s getting ready to leave as she holds her gown but then she suddenly tripped making him fall on Alpha Karius'' hard chest. Her eyes widened in fraction on what happened and wasn''t able to move quickly. She was able to sniff his manly scent and saw his rough features closely. She saw his Adam''s apple move when his gaze went down to her red luscious lips. Before something that she didn''t like happened between them, she harshly got away from him but an unexpected thing happened. Her core suddenly ached and throbbed as she looked at him. It felt like her body was suddenly on fire. "N-No, damn it..." she whispered. She''s in heat. Damn it! 20. The Pleasure 20. The Pleasure CHAPTER 20: The Pleasure LILIAN FELT LIKE her own body is on fire as she took a step away from Alpha Karius. She was breathing hard as her own sweat trickled down her face. It was painful, especially to her most private part since it was begging to be touched. She had the urge to dip herself in a cold ice of water to ease the hotness that she was feeling but how? Her mind doesn''t seem to work anymore! Her body was too consumed by the pain and the heat on her core! It''s making her weak and unable to move while breathing hard. "Fuck, the Blood Moon is already starting. You''re in heat." She heard Alpha Karius say it but she couldn''t seem to understand it anymore. Her mind is focused on the pain on her throbbing core begging for attention. With her trembling toes, she held the nearest wall for support as the ache in between her thighs became even more worse. Even though her outfit was revealing and exposed, it felt like her gown was preventing her from breathing. She wants to take it off because of the hotness that she''s feeling. "G-Get out..." Lilian tried so hard to whisper as she looked at Alpha Karius. She wanted to take everything off from her own body to ease the heat but she wouldn''t be able to do that if Alpha Karius is still with her. This is the reality of the wolves. It will be too hard for them to resist their own body if they are in too much heat... especially now that it''s Blood Moon. Though Alpha Karius looked rxed, Lilian could see how much he''s controlling himself to not give in to his own heat and desire. She could see how his throat moved up and down as his eyes traveled down her body. Great! They''re both in heat! Why are they even together at this moment? Lilian couldn''t ept it! She will ept it more if it''s a different wolf that she''s with right now! Meanwhile, even though Alpha Karius looked calm and rxed, his wolf is also begging to touch the woman in front of him right now. He wanted to give in to his own desire but he knew that Lilian would just hate him even more if he would do that without her consent. "I won''t. Let me do something about it. I don''t want to see you hurting like this. Damn it!" He cursed and clenched his jaw as he grabbed her waist when she''s about to fall on the floor because she was moving so much. Unlike her, he can control his body and resist the heat but since it''s Lilian, he needed more willpower to do that. Ever since heid his eyes on her earlier, it feels like his body was suddenly on fire. Desire lord his own body like it was reacting to his original master again. Only Lilian could do this to him. He has never been a ve to his own libido but when ites to him, controlling his body is getting harder. Lilian shook her head weakly. "N-No... just go..." she whispered weakly again as she inhaled more air as if it would ease the heat she''s feeling. For some reason, her eyes started to water at her situation right now. She never knew that she could be in a situation like this. She felt miserable and weak. She already promised herself to not show weakness again when the timees that she will see those who hurted her before including Alpha Karius but here she is... showing her teary eyes to him. She avoided his gaze and concentrated on breathing hard again. "You''re in pain, Lilian. Don''t be so stubborn," he said sharply this time as he clenched his jaw. It was obvious that he''s not reallyfortable seeing Lilian like this now. He wanted to take care of her but only if she wanted to. He was actually hurt seeing the disgust in her eyes the moment he looked at her eyes earlier. Her eyes were like taunting him, as if telling him that she was fine while she''s not with him... and he honestly didn''t like that. He''s been hell being away with her. His wolf doesn''t like the idea of being separated from her. Lilian wasn''t able to talk back immediately when she saw how he clenched his jaw. That sight just added the dampness of her panty underneath her gown. The smell of her own arousal lingered in the air. She actually felt ashamed but she couldn''t control her own body anymore. And then suddenly, her gaze went to Alpha Karius'' lips. It looks red... and tempting that she suddenly wanted a taste. A part of her was screaming to pull his nape to taste his lips but then the other part of her head remained firm on her decision to not look at it and just avoid it. She gasped when another shot of pain hit her insides again making her groan and hold the fabric of Alpha Karius'' tuxedo. "Urgh!" Her head rested on his hard chest unconsciously as she breathed heavily. It''s getting harder for her to control the heat in her own body. She badly wanted a release now before she lost her own sanity. If only she''s not with him right now, she would touch herself until shees just to ease the heat! But she''s with him! And it''s just making everything worse! "Let me do something about it, please..." he pleaded this time. Lilian is not really sure but the softness in his tone made her look up at him. She met his soft eyes this time and was suddenly drowned in his orbs. It was like she had been hypnotized by his stares that she couldn''t seem to break their eye contact. His eyes are like sucking the deepest part of her soul. Alpha Karius also stared back at her and even though Lilian felt really weak, she was able to read the softness and emotion in his eyes as his hand suddenly went up to caress her face. She should brush away her palm on her cheek but to her surprise... she didn''t. She liked the warmth of her hand. She liked how his rough palm touched the softness of her cheek. Lilian let Alpha Karius caressed her cheek tenderly until she didn''t notice anymore that he already bent down to give her lips a sweet and slow kiss. Lilian was surprised at first but she found herself closing her eyester on to savor the kiss. The taste of his lips awakened everything inside her. It was sweet Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. and with a hint of wine. She could also taste his minty breath from their kiss, alluring her to taste him even more... and she did. She didn''t notice herself that she was already kissing Alpha Karius back with the same ferocity. Alpha Karius would lick her lips then bite if after that sends shivers down there, dampening it even more. It was ticklish but she likes the sensation so much. His stubbles would brush the softness of her chin but she didn''t mind it anymore as she was already too focus on the hotness of his kisses to her. "Hmm..." she moaned when Alpha Karius inserted his tongue in her mouth and explored the sweetness of her mouth. She couldn''t help but to wrap her hands around her neck before she pulled his thick and smooth hair, earning a groan from him. Alpha Karius'' hand around her waist tightened as he pushed her on the sink, pinning her making her feel his hardness. The aggressiveness of his kisses is making her knees wobble so she just pulled his hair even more. His lips went down to her cheek, licking her skin there before biting it lightly. The hotness of his tongue is like setting her body on fire, her core is just throbbing even more. She could feel the liquid gushing out from her core. His kisses traveled down to her jaw, then down to the side of her neck, sucking her there that would surely leave a mark. "Ohh..." she moaned at the sensation of his tongue on her skin. She could feel his canines, a sign that his wolf is liking what he''s doing to her. A realization suddenly crawled onto her system. Is it possible that they could be... mates? Her thoughts suddenly vanished when his hand went up to touch her corbones and went to her neck, slightly choking her making her look up to him. Even though her mind is not really liking what''s happening, her wolf is whimpering in so much pleasure as she meets his eyes full of desire. His lips are now glistening and were so red because of their intense kiss a while ago. "I can''t stop now..." he said as he leaned down again to devour her lips. Lilian was already distracted with the pleasure again and kissed him back. She just moaned at that kiss and didn''t really see his hand that suddenly cupped her right breast, making her break away from the kiss. "Uhmm..." Alpha Karius massaged her breast and even though she''s still fully cloth, she was already drowned with the temptation of his lips and hands. "Oh, shit..." she cursed when Alpha Karius pulled down the upper part of her gown revealing her pinkish nipples. She''s not wearing a bra since the gown has a foam that would support her breast. She looked at him, waiting for his next moves. It seems like she can''t stop now. She likes the pleasure so much even though it was really wrong. 21. The Real Start of Her Revenge 21. The Real Start of Her Revenge CHAPTER 21: The Real Start of Her Revenge ALPHA KARIUS FELT like he has been back to the times where he''s still hugging Lilian this close... when everything''s still fine between the two of them. That''s one of his mistakes before when he was still with her... making her as his secret. He was a coward. And he wanted to correct it now. He will be brave this time for both of them. And most especially, he wanted her forgiveness. He had so many mistakes and was the sole reason for her pain before. They were happy... even if their rtionship was just a secret. She''s the only woman that he truly loves and he has no ns to love another woman again. He intends to make her as his own Luna soon... if only she wants to. If she didn''t want to be his Luna in the end, then he preferred being mateless forever. She''s the only woman that he could see that he wanted to spend his life with. He went back to reality when he heard Scarlett''s seductive whimper. He instantly wrapped his arms around her waist possessively as he massaged her breast. Goddess. She''s so perfect, he thought. Her body is making him sinful every time he''s seeing it even before... and seeing it now... it feels like he''s about to lose his own sanity this time. The truth is, he''s trying to stop himself but he can''t take it anymore. The moment he was able to sniff her familiar sweet scent awhile ago, he lost it. He wanted to devour her and... owned her fully now. His wolf is liking her scent so much. And he damn knew why it was reacting this way. It is possible that Lilian could be really his mate. After she disappeared and everyone thought that she already died, he never felt this kind of desire again. He''s been celibate for a year or more now. That''s why he can''t really me his wolf, why it is acting this way... excited and couldn''t wait to own every bit of part of Lillian. Lilian''s breast is in front of Alpha Karius'' eyes. Without further ado, he leaned down to lick her hardened pebble making her head fall back in pleasure as she pulled his hair harshly. He didn''t mind how her hand fisted on his hair as his body was already consumed by his own heat. Between them, he has more control in his wolf than her but this time, it feels like he''s losing the tiniest thread of his patience. "Ohh my... shit!" Lilian cursed when Alpha Karius sucked her nipple like a hungry baby. She pulled his thick hair again as he sucked her nipples alternately. He would sometimes massage it with his calloused big palm. She was feeling even hotter! She clung to his neck as he devoured her nipples like a child. She had the urge to look at his eyes and she gasped when he was looking at her. Lilian bit her lower lip when she Content held by N?velDrama.Org. saw the desire pooling in his eyes. He''s so hot while sucking her hardened peaks. Alpha Karius made her seat on the sink and spread her legs wider for him, cing himself in between. She felt his bulge against the fabric of his cks, adding the wetness on her core. Alpha Karius went back on kissing her again as he removed her gown, pulling it down harshly until her panty was now finally exposed in front of his eyes. While kissing, his hand went to her left leg, caressing the softness of it while his tongue roamed around her mouth, tasting her again. He would bite her lower lip then lick the sting away, making her moan. "Ahh... oh my," she moaned when his lips went down in the middle of her mountains and buried his face there, sniffing her scent. Lilian didn''t notice anymore how his other hand suddenly went down to her inner thigh until it reached her wet core, teasing it against the fabric of her panty. "Fucking shit. You''re so wet, love," he whispered after pulling himself from the kiss. Lilian was so drowned to their kisses already that she didn''t notice the way he called her anymore. He didn''t notice how Alpha Karius called her love with full of tenderness as his eyes looked at her softly. She was too drowned from her own heat. The moment his finger touched her throbbing core, her eyes closed automatically as she bit her lower lip feeling the pleasure. "A-Alpha Karius..." she whispered his name as he yed with the liquid on her core, spreading the wetness on her cl*t, sliding his finger in a circr manner. Lilian unconsciously spread her legs wider to amodate him better. She held on his broad shoulders as he found the most sensitive part of her cunt and started to rub it faster, creating an erotic sound. "Ahh... ahh.. fuck!" Lilian couldn''t control her moans anymore. She was too loud already but she didn''t care and was too focused on the pleasure in between her thighs already. Alpha Karius looked at her eyes as he kept on rubbing her flesh. Her face turned into a frown as her mouth hangs open while he''s just clenching his jaw making him look even more hotter. The pleasure doubled when he suddenly entered his middle finger inside her core. Her mouth hung open as she gasped when it felt like she''s being stretched too much again like it was her first time! Oh, goodness! That''s just his finger! It''s not yet his dick that prated her but it actually hurts! "Still tight, eh?" He teased her with a smirk ying on his lips. They had sex multiple times before but the moment he inserted his finger inside her felt like it was her first time again. He slid his finger in and out of her core, creating an erotic sound echoing inside the even more. His moves became fast until Lilian couldn''t control it anymore. As soon as her cum came out from her core, he knelt down and his finger was immediately reced by his tongue and lips. He started to suck all her juices and made sure that every drop of it would go straight to his mouth. He wanted to taste all of her. "Shit! Ahh!" She shouted in so much pleasure as her hand fell onto his hair and pulled it while he''s licking her clean down there. She would push his head even more to her wet flesh for him to give it more attention through his tongue and long fingers. Lilian was trembling already but Alpha Karius didn''t stop until he drank all her juices. He didn''t stop until she felt weak again. When she looked at his eyes again, she knew that she should stop this now. She knew that this was all wrong but she found herself removing his tuxedo from his broad shoulders and helped him remove his dress shirt impatiently. The buttons of his inner shirt scattered on the floor harshly because of her harsh pulling on his shirt. "Getting impatient, are we?" he said then chuckled. Lilian red at him. "Just shut the fuck up. I know you like this so much," she replied. This is one of the things that Alpha Karius love so much back then. He likes it when Lilian is the one dominating him. He doesn''t really mind though as long as it''s Lilian who''s doing it. When Lilian was done undressing his upper body, she couldn''t help but to stop midway as he nced at his hard stomach and chest. It''s glistening with his own sweat making it look more salivating. The fine cracks on his stomach are more defined now that he''s sweating. Lilian was obviously stunned at how his body looked and wasn''t able to move quickly. Alpha Karius took that as an opportunity to push her legs on the sink and knelt down. He took her right leg on his shoulder before delving his tongue to her wet core. "Oh, fuck! Yes... ohhh!" Lilian immediately moaned when his tongue finally touched her slit. He smirked at her reaction and licked the lower part of her cl*t again upwards earning another series of moans from Lilian again. "Ahh... ahh, fuck! Y-Yes!" "I can''t get enough of you. I want a taste again. You''re too sweet, love..." He chuckled at her reaction, causing it to vibrate on her femininity. He licked her wet slit repeatedly and prated her core using his tongue. She''s too wet already, her essence is now dripping down to her ass hole. Alpha Karius immediately licked it without any hesitation. "Damn it! Do that again!" She said gripping his hair, rubbing her slit on her face. "Say my name first," he replied. It turns him really on every time she calls him by his name sensually. "A-Alpha Karius," she obliged like an obedient child. "Again," he demanded, using his Alpha tone. "A-Alpha Karius. Please..." She pleaded. Well, Lilian thought it was just to ease the heat she''s feeling. This is just for a show anyway. She will make sure that her feelings won''t be at stake again. She wanted to look vulnerable in front of him as part of the real start of her revenge. She intended to wrap him around her fingers and give her the pain that she had felt before. 22. The Mark 22. The Mark CHAPTER 22: The Mark THE PLEASURE WAS too much for Lilian to handle. Her moans are echoing in the four corners of the bathroom already, not minding someone might hear them but she already lost all her inhibitions. Everyone outside could hear their moans and groans but it seems like they didn''t really care anymore since they are now all busy finding their own mates. Lilian suddenly thought about Calista. She''s not sure anymore what''s going on her now. She just hope that she''s enjoying the party even if she doesn''t have a mate to wait to mark her. "Lilian, I just want to be clear here. I''m not forcing you to do this with me. It''s hard to stop now but if you don''t really like it, then I''m not going to force you-" Alpha Karius'' words was cut off when Lilianughed at him. "Don''t worry. I want this too." She assured him as she caressed his face, particrly on his stubbles that made him looked more mature. It was rough and sent a ticklish feeling on her palm. His eyes darkened at her answer as he clenched his jaw, feeling her hand there even more. His hand went down to his cks. He unbuckled his belt while looking at her eyes. He pulled down his cks along with his boxers, not tearing off his gaze with Lilian. The temperature inside thefort room became ten times hotter for Lilian when he bit his lower lips sexily in front of her. It''s just a simple gesture from him but it affected her so much, especially her wolf. That''s the thing that Lilian couldn''t really deny. Alpha Karius is effortlessly sexy and handsome. He could even just stand like a statue and everyone will definitely looked at him and worship him like he''s a God. After a while, Lilian felt wetter even more when his bulge was now in front of her very own eyes. His tip is now glistening with his own precum. It was long and hard as the veins on its body pulsated like it needed attention. He''s fully erected now, making Lilian bite her lips unconsciously. She suddenly wondered what would be the taste of it if she''s going to run her tongue around it. Damn. She didn''t expect that he''s this big now. Well, he''s gifted with his size even before but is it really possible that he could be bigger and longer like this now? That''s what she thought but it immediately vanished when Alpha Karius turned her around and now, her back is facing him. He caressed it with his calloused palm before leaning down to lick her earshell sensually, sending an electrifying feeling down her spine. "Look how aroused you are," Alpha Karius whispered on her left ear as he undo her hair, fisting on it lightly making her looked up a bit. Her hair is now disheveled but he fixed some strands that''s blocking the side of her face. Alpha Karius took that as a chance to lick the side of her neck to her throat. His lips left sloppy wet kisses on her skin making her feel hotter even more. Lilian also looked at herself in her own reflection on the mirror. It can''t be denied that she really looked aroused now just like what he said earlier. Her lips are hanged open with a frown on her face while Alpha Karius lips grazed on her neck, slightly biting it. She felt how he suddenly gripped her butt cheek, leaving a tap on it harshly. "Ah!" she shouted in sheer pleasure as his rough and big palm kissed her butt. Alpha Karius did it Content held by N?velDrama.Org. again until her butt cheek turned red from too much tapping. "Ah, fuck!" She couldn''t help but to curse repeatedly. It stings but the pleasure is more dominating. She didn''t give too much on the pain anymore. Momentster, she felt how his dick pressed on her behind, grazing on her butt cheek. She smirked when a naughty idea came to my mind. She teasingly rubbed her butt on his dick and smirked when she saw his reaction in the mirror. It looks like he''s about to lose his own patience now. He''s gritting his teeth as his hand on her hair tightened. He even groaned like he''s already having a hard time. "I''m gonna take you now..." he said after leaving a mark all over her neck, his canines already came out, slightly pricking her skin but it wasn''t that painful for her. Lilian just answered through her delicious moan as he kept on rubbing his hard dick on her wet slit from behind. She could feel his tip on her entrance, like it''s knocking and asking for permission. She just looked at him in the mirror sensually and he immediately took that as a signal that she''s letting him already. He let out a sigh like he''s having a hard time again, controlling himself until he gripped both of her butt cheeks, spreading it wider and then suddenly mmed his shaft inside her harshly. A gasp escaped from Lilian''s mouth at his sudden intrusion. It actually hurts! She''s already wet but his rough entrance on her core blew her mind. She was too stretched again but the pain subsided immediately and was reced by pleasure when he started moving, slowly at first until it became aggressive. "Ahh! Ahh... ohh... yes! Ahmm. Hmm..." She kept on moaning like a wanton woman as Alpha Karius gripped on her waist tightly for support while thrusting inside her. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius secretly smirked when he saw in the mirror how Lilian''s face contorted in so much pleasure as her boobs bounced while thrusting inside her. It feels nice to know that he still has the same effect on her whenever they''re being intimate like this. She feels so warm. He never knew that he could feel this kind of warmth again after a long time. He felt... cold and lifeless all the time before especially when everyone is telling him that she''s already dead. But it was a good thing that his tiny hope inside his heart that maybe she''s still alive never died. He came back to reality when he heard Lilian''s sexy moans again. His dick is growing bigger inside her, hitting her most sensitive spot making her feel really good and hotter. She held the sink tighter when his thrust became faster. He suddenly held her right leg and put it on the sink, making it wider for him to enter from behind. She could feel him even more in their position right now. She felt too stretched like he has a n on tearing her core! "Fuck, it feels so good to be inside you again. I miss doing this with you..." he whispered against her ear but she didn''t understand it anymore as she was just moaning in pleasure while he''s pumping in and out of her. His other hand suddenly glided down to her cl*t in front. He immediately found her most sensitive bud. He rubbed it fast while he''s thrusting desperately inside her making her head fall back in pleasure, leaning her head on his sweaty chiseled chest. Their closeness felt like it''s burning her own skin from too much hotness she''s feeling. Not to mention, her wolf is also in heat making her core throb even more at his touch. Oh, goodness. It''s too much for her. The pleasure is so much that her eyes are getting misty like she''s about to tear up. It feels so good. "Ohhh... oh my, ahh! Ahh... ahh!! Shit!" Lilian''s toes curled when she felt like something was forming in the pit of her stomach again. She''s about to cum again and Alpha Karius just keep on thrusting, not really nning to stop while ying with her cl*t. "Are you going to cum hmm?" he asked, breathing heavily from her neck as he licked her skin there. "Y-Yes! Yes! Ohhh... hmm!" "Then cum, love. Give it all to me. Coat my cock with your creamy essence." And as if on a cue, Lilian did really explode like she saw the stars in the night sky. She reached her peak shouting in so much pleasure. Alpha Karius suddenly gripped her left boob and yed with nipples as she released all her juices. She exploded but Alpha Karius didn''t stop from thrusting inside her. He suddenly pulled out his shaft and made Lilian turn around again and put her other leg on the sink. She slightlyid down as he watched him holding his wet length from his juices but it was interrupted when he entered her core again abruptly. "Ohh..." A delicious long moan escaped from her mouth as he mmed himself inside her again, pumping in and out. He''s just looking at her eyes while thrusting, biting his lips and watching Lilian''s expression. He didn''t stop from pumping until he started groaning. Lilian spread her legs wider to aodate his length properly when she felt like he''s about to cum so she weed his every thrust even more. Few more thrust and he exploded inside her before he leaned down on her neck as he release his cum inside her womb. She gripped on his broad shoulders and buried her ws on her skin when she suddenly felt something weird inside her. It feels like she''s wolfing out! Instead of being scared of what''s happening to her own body, her wolf likes it so much that she lets everything happen in a blink of an eye. Consumed by so much pleasure, Lilian didn''t notice anymore that Alpha Karius left a kiss on the skin of her neck already as his canines suddenly buried, making her gasp. He already marked her. 23. The Alpha is Here! 23. The Alpha is Here! CHAPTER 23: The Alpha is Here! TO GET MARKED by Alpha Karius wasn''t really on her n. Lilian wanted to scold herself from getting into her situation right now but she realized that it was already toote. She can''t turn back time now. It already happened. She slowly moved from the bed and removed the hand on her waist. Alpha Karius was hugging her tight while sleeping soundly beside her. She knew that maybe he''s too tired from their countless sex times! Well, she couldn''t really deny the fact that he''s still good in bed just like before. He still has the ability to take her to the highest heavens while thrusting inside her ruthlessly. But it was her wolf''s decision. If she didn''t give in to her own heatst night, it would only hurt her. Her core would only throb nonstop if she wouldn''t let someone to ease the heat for her. And in that case, Alpha Karius was the one who ease her pain, no matter how she denied it. Sighing, Lilian got up from the bed and scanned the whole room. They are inside a luxurious room in the hotel where the party was heldst night. They continued what they started in thefort room here and she just raised her brow when she saw her gown scattered messily on the floor along with his dress shirt and cks. She wore it again and put her hair on a ponytail, making some strands fall just in front of her face. When she''s done, she looked at the sleeping Alpha Karius again and gritted her own teeth. Even though he''s just sleeping, his handsomeness couldn''t be really denied. His brows are almost meeting like he''s irritated even though he''s at sleep. He looked intimidating while still closing his eyes. "You may have marked me but I will never let you have my heart again. You''re just nothing to me now..." Lilian whispered onest time before she stormed out of the room. *** "WHERE HAVE YOU been?" Calista''s first question as soon as she saw her in the lobby of the hotel. She looked worried as she scanned her whole body and tilted her head a bit when she realized something. Calista could smell the faint scent of another wolf on Lilian. She suddenly had a hunch that maybe, she''s with someonest night. It''s the Blood Moon so it''s not surprising anymore that Lilian could possibly find her mate. "Did you find your matest night?" Lilian just sighed as she suddenly had the urge to hug her so without further ado, she threw herself to Calista for a tight hug as frustrations from what happenedst night flooded her head. "I already found him. And I guess, I fucked up really bad this time. I intend to hurt him but... this happened." Lilian couldn''t help but to be disappointed in herself as she let out those words to her own mother. Calista just sighed at her and held Lilian''s back gently. She could really feel the heaviness of Lilian''s heart now. "So, it''s him, huh. It''s Alpha Karius." That was a statement from Calista. She knew it already the moment she was able to sniff the faint scent of another wolf on Lilian. The scent was familiar and strong. She already knew that kind of scent before so she''s not that shocked to know about it anymore. Lilian just nodded her head as an answer while Calista was just rubbing her back, sendingfort to her chaotic mind. "We can''t do anything about that anymore. It''s your wolf''s decision, Lilian," she told him. That''s one of the things that wolves couldn''t control. Once your wolf makes a decision to mate with someone, you can no longer stop it. A wolf''s mark is the most sacred part of being a wolf so even though they really want it, they have to respect it. Lilian just closed her eyes. Yeah, right. To begin with, she felt the heat inside her caused by her own wolf because of the Blood Moon. She wouldn''t let herself be in that situation if only she didn''t feel the heat. Lilian didn''t bother to talk anymore as she was just feeling her mother''s warmth, feeling tired fromst night. The truth is, the thing in between her legs is also aching as she takes a walk. She wanted a decent rest right now as her body is also aching fromst night. Calista must''ve felt that she''s too tired already that she didn''t try to talk again. She unwrapped her hands around her and guided the small of her back as they both made their way towards the entrance of the hotel. She was just hugging her on the side as they went inside the limousine to go back to the mansion. *** LILIAN LOOKED AT herself in the mirror and touched the skin on her neck where the mark is getting visible now. It looks like a tattoo whenever the light from outside hits her skin. It has a moon surrounded by some veins that only an Alpha mark could leave whenever marking their own mates. It was one of the gifts from the moon goddess to the Alphas that couldn''t be removed anymore. That''s one of the most special things about alphas. Once they mark someone as their mate, you can''t do anything about it anymore even if you ask the greatest witch to remove it. And the mark on her neck... she cannot do something about it anymore. Now that he marked her, what will happen? Lilian sighed when she realized that she suddenly forgot all her ns to take revenge on him. She clenched her jaw when the image of her hardships before rushed to her mind again... especially when she lost her little one that she wasn''t even able to hold. Her heart aches thinking all of it and those wolves who hurted her before. "I will take my revenge no matter what happens," she said as she wed the skin on her neck where the mark is harshly, not minding if she''s already hurting. Her ws buried on her skin as it bled profusely. "Miss Lilian, what are you doing?!" Lilian automatically stopped when she heard the familiar voice of Maya. Maya immediately went to her as she removed her hand on her neck and gasped, realizing that an Alpha had marked her when she anymore. Lilian didn''t say a word and just stared at Maya through the mirror without any hint of emotion in her face. "I''m fine. Don''t worry about me." Lilian assured Maya with now her cold icy tone, as she looked at the blood slowly trickling down to her corbone. "D-Don''t hurt yourself again, please..." Maya whispered as she held her shoulders gently and wiped the blood using her own hand like she''s about to cry in front of Lilian. Lilian couldn''t help but to feel bad that she made her worried right now. She sighed and smiled at her lightly. She stood up and immediately regretted it when she suddenly felt like her world was suddenly spinning. Three days had passed and after the marking process, she''s been really unwell, the reason C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org for her to not train with the other wolves or Calista for the past few days. She''s getting a decent rest and it was a good thing that Calista wasn''t really saying a word about it. They let her on her own. Lilian knew damn well why this was happening to her. Her head would always ache sometimes making her feel weak especially her own wolf... like it was longing for someone. The marking process wasn''tpleted. Alpha Karius was able to mark her but Lilian failed to give her her own mark. Her pride wouldn''t take it. She couldn''t ept the fact that she needed to also give her her mark. "Are you okay? Should I call the others and inform them about what''s happening to you? Or do you want me to call Calista here?" Maya asked her as she supported her from standing. She smiled gently. "I''m fine..." she replied. Lilian decided to go to her bed but before she even did it, Kathryn suddenly came inside while panicking. "Miss Lilian! Miss Lilian!" Her brows furrowed. "What is it, Kathryn? Is there something wrong?" For some reason, Lilian''s heart started to beat so fast when she looked at her worried expression right now as she also held her own chest. "Come outside! You need to see this!" Without further ado, Lilian stood up immediately even though her world was still spinning. She tried so hard to get out of her bed, knowing that something was really going on outside that she needed to see. At the entrance of the mansion, confusion was now written on Lilian''s face when she saw some unfamiliar wolves outside. But her brows raised a bit when she saw a familiar man standing in front. It was Alpha Karius with his serious expression. "I am the Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack. I came here for a very important reason. I just want my Luna to be with me. I won''t leave this ce without her," he said in his most authoritative tone as he suddenly found Lilian''s gaze. His eyes immediately softened when he saw her. 24. The Marking Process 24. The Marking Process CHAPTER 24: The Marking Process LILIAN GRITTED HER teeth when she realized that her wolf was itching to touch him the moment he where the mark is. His brows furrowed but then he clenched his jaw when he saw the blood dripping out from her mark. "This visit is so sudden. You want to get my daughter so bad, huh?" Calista said in front as her brows raised a bit, looking at Alpha Karius with her taunting expression. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius remained calm even though he was slightly intimidated by Calista, the alpha of the Midnight Pack. He heard so much about her pack and it was all a good thing. All that he could say is that it was a nice pack despite the bad rumors circting about their she-wolf Alpha. He''s not really against the fact that it was ruled by a woman. The only thing that he''s concerned about is the fact that they have Lilian... now his mate. He couldn''t believe that the woman that he had been loving for the past years is his mate now. But he needed to fix everything between them first. He wanted to start a clean te with her since he intended to keep her forever. He wanted to clear things up between them and most especially, to apologize to everything that he had done before. "Yeah. I''m desperate to get her. My wolf is aching to be with her already..." He replied calmly, not caring about the fact that he admitted that he''s desperate to have Lilian with him. But inside his head, he knew that it''s not only his wolf that''s aching to have her... even him. He missed her so much... her skin and her natural smells. All of her. But on the other side, Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to get confused. Daughter? Is she referring to Lilian? He couldn''t understand. "That''s not my decision to make. Whether my daughter likes it or not, you should respect her decision," Calista replied calmly before turning around and now looking at Lilian. "What''s your decision, dear?" she asked. Lilian sighed as she thought thoroughly about it. If she will be back in the Moon Stone Pack again, it will only just remind her of all her hardships before, all the pain that she had been through. She wanted her revenge. And she will not be able to do it if she''s not going there. She needed to ovee all the traumas in that pack in order to execute her revenge. "Can we talk about this first, please?" Lilian said to Calista as she gestured to her to go back inside the mansion. "Wait here," she told Alpha Karius seriously. He just nodded and watched her get inside with Calista. "Dear, you don''t have to feel pressure about this. If you still don''t want to get close to the pack that had hurt you before, then you don''t need to go with that man," Calista said gently as she held her arms. Lilian shook her head. "No. I want to do this. I want to show them that I''m no longer the weak Omega they used to know." Calista sighed. "You can''t stop me from worrying about you, dear..." "Don''t worry about me. I can handle myself. I''m strong now." She smiled at her gently. "I know. But we can''t really predict what would happen next once you stay there. I... I was just scared that they would hurt you again. I''m your mother, Lilian. No matter what you do, I will support you but I won''t forgive myself again if something happens to you again there." Warmth wrapped in Lilian''s heart when she heard what Calista said. She gets what she feels but she needs to do this. "I will take care of myself..." she told her. They fell into deep silence after that but then Calista looked at her then sighed again, thinking that Lilian will not change her mind again. So... Calista gave in and nodded her head. "Fine. I''m letting you go now. But once that he will hurt you again, I''ll go there by myself to get you back. Remember that, dear..." Calista said coldly as they both headed out again, meeting the serious gaze of Alpha Karius. Lilian looked at him. "Fine. I''ll go with you," she answered seriously, making Alpha Karius smile a bit. It was obvious that he''s happy about her decision. "Let''s go, my Luna. Let''s go back to our pack..." he said that almost came out as a whisper before he extended his arm to Lilian. Even though she was hesitating, she still epted his hand and felt his warmth that sent electricity down to her spine. *** AS SOON AS THEY stepped on the familiar ground of the Moon Stone Pack, memories immediately shed in Lilian''s mind. She stared at the wolves lining up to wee them with her most serious expression. She could familiarize those wolves who humiliated her before... those wolves who threw rocks and eggs at her and wished her to get killed as punishment for something that she didn''t do. She smirked when she saw someone who suddenly looked down when sheid her eyes on her, like she was too afraid to even meet her gaze. "T-The Alpha is back together with the real Luna!" someone shouted as they all suddenly bowed their heads at them as a sign of respect. Lilian secretly smirked while looking at them all. She couldn''t believe that the same pack who caused her pain before is now bowing their heads in front of her now. Everything has changed now. And she will make sure that these wolves in front of her will know her real stand in this ce now. She''s not the same weak omega anymore. Alpha Karius remained emotionless as he guided her on her back. She didn''t even look at anyone from the pack and they just directly went inside the mansion. When they got inside, memories came back to her mind again. The interior of the mansion changed. The design became more modern this time, like the design a year ago has been erased and now reced. The helpers of the main suddenly rushed towards their direction and bowed their heads. Lilian even saw Nadia, the head of the helpers in the house. Nadia seemed uneasy when she saw her, making her suddenly want to burst out inughter. Everyone who sees her seems like they saw a ghost. Their reaction is priceless! "Do you need something?" Alpha Karius asked her with his most gentle voice. She just smiled at him fakely. The house annoyed her to the core but she can''t do something about it anymore. This will be her new home as she takes her own revenge. "Nothing. I just want to rest now," she answered nonchntly. He nodded. "I''ll ask a witch to see you. My mark on your skin is bing more visible now. It''s better if someone will check on you," he said with his most concerned tone. Lilian could tell that he''s also worried that he saw blood on her mark earlier. Lilian didn''t reply to what he said. She hates how he sounded concerned now. He shouldn''t be this way. She just nodded at him, not wanting to have more conversation with him anymore. She''s not yet in the mood to interact that much with everyone here. She''s still not feeling well. "Nadia, please take my Luna to her room. I''ll just ask the witch that will check on her." Hemanded. Nadia just nodded and replied, "Yes, Alpha." Later on, Nadia took Lilian''s things and guided her to her room. Lilian tried to meet her gaze and smirk. "So... you''re still working here, huh. I bet you still remember me." Nadia didn''t say a word but it was obvious that she''s bing even more ufortable as they reach the room on the second floor. She just smirked at her as she followed her to the room where she''s supposed to stay. "Enjoy your stay here, L-Luna..." Nadia said, stuttering herst word before bowing her head a bit and stormed out of the room. Lilian''s smirked became wider on what Nadia acted. She scanned the whole room and raised her brow a bit. This is the room where she was supposed to clean before... when she was used of something she didn''t do. This is the room where... Gianna upied before. She scoffed. She wanted another room so she reminded herself to ask for another er on. For now, she wanted to continue her rest after the long ride earlier. She didn''t notice anymore that she already slept in tiredness, not noticing that Alpha Karius came inside with the witch who will check on her mark. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "I''m worrying about her mark. I could feel that her body is being somehow weak even though it''s not really supposed to happen. It should be the other way around, right?" Alpha Karius asked the witch. It was Penny. As far as Alpha Karius knew, once two wolves undergo the mating process, they will feel stronger. That''s what he felt after marking Lilia. He knew that something had changed inside him after that. Penny on the other hand couldn''t help but to tear up a bit upon seeing Lilian again. Penny couldn''t deny the fact that she''s happy that she''s here now but even though Lilian is asleep, she could feel that something has changed in her as she observed her heavy breathings while sleeping. Her brows furrowed when she realized something. "Nothing''s wrong with her, Alpha Karius," Penny said when she saw her mark. "The marking process wasn''tpleted yet. You marked her but she didn''t give her mark to you. You both need toplete it as soon as possible or else..." She sighed. "Or else what?" Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to feel nervous. "Her body will slowly deteriorate... and will dieter on." 25. The New Version of Lilian 25. The New Version of Lilian IT WAS ALREADY dinner time when Lilian woke up from the bed. It took her a couple of seconds before she realized that she''s not in her usual room in the mansion. She raised a brow realizing that she''s in Alpha Karius'' mansion now. Sighing, she get up from the bed and fixed herself first. As she wore her clothes, she realized that everythinghing has changed here. It looks modern with a slight of traditional design because of the old books on the shelves. There''s a small nts disyed on the transparent round table near the sofa on the side, making it looke more aesthetic. The color of the whole is mostly dark green and brown. There''s also a huge cab at the far corner at the other side. When Lilian went inside the bathroom for a quick bath, she couldn''t help but to feel amazed. There''s a bathtub at the left side of the bathroom. The scent of floral is also lingering in the air. The huge mirror made her frown when she saw her reflection. Her mark is still there but what she realized is she''s getting better than the other days. She''s not feeling weak anymore. "Could it be because my wolf likes to be around Alpha Karius so much?" She asked herself in the mirror like it could even answer. But then, she frowned when she realized the answer to her own question. Of course! Her wolf likes it so much! She rolled her eyes when her wolf whimpered at her own thought. Momentster, she took a quick bath and used the new shampoo and shower gel. After that, she changed in a simple white puff sleeve dress and dried her hair. She went out of the bathroom after that and fixed her hair in a bun before getting out of the room. She stered her most serious and intimidating look as she went down on the staircase and made her way to the dining area where she could hear the noises. "Make sure that everything is set! Alpha Karius strictly told me earlier that everything should be perfect. No mistakes! This night is special to him since this will be the first night here of his Luna." Lilian heard the familiar voice of Nadia. "Really? Sl, it''s true, huh? He''s already... mated? Who''s our real Luna? I hope this is real this time. Gianna had been really a pain in the ass to him before." "Whoever she is... we have to respect our Alpha''s decision in choosing her. Let''s just continue our work here. Hurry up!" Nadia said with her most strict tone as the other helpers continued their work on setting up the table and put the newly cook food. A yful idea suddenly came to Lilian''s mind. She smirked. As soon as she stepped inside the dining area, the helpers gasped when she saw her. The other one looked confuse like she couldn''t recognize Lilian. But then the helper suddenly realized that Lilian must be the Luna so she just bowed her head, not wanting to say a word anymore. Meanwhile, Lilian could recognize her though. The helper was one of the wolves who threw rocks on her before. She knew that face. She was one of those who wished her to get killed before and one of the crowd. "Hi! I''m sorry, I overslept. I''m so hungry now," Lilian said as she pouted fakedly. Her gaze went down to the foods on the table. "Oh. What are those foods?" "Uh, these foods are mostly Italian. This one is Osso buco a Mnese, this one issagna and here is the risotto. The other two is the bottarga and polenta--" "I know, I''m not stupid." Lilian cut off the helper who spoke while introducing the foods with her suddenly cold tone. She had the urge to be a bitch right now so might as well show her bitchiness to them, especially the helper who hurted her before. Well, it was truth though that she already knew those food. It''s famous italian foods and sometimes, Maya and Kathryn would cook her those foods before back in the mansion. Thinking about them, she suddenly missed the three of the helpers in Calista''s mansion. She wasn''t able to say her goodbye to them properly. She knew that they''re must be mad at her now. "S-Sorry, Miss--- Luna." The helper bowed her head like she was too embarrassed. Lilian even caught Nadia ring at the poor helper secretly for almost making a mistake in adressing her. Lilian doesn''t really mind it though. She was actually enjoying the fear on their eyes as she shed her most intimidating look. "Well... those foods... I don''t think I want to eat Italian foods right now," she said to them innocently. "I want spanish foods instead. I don''t like the foods on the table. Throw it away," she added and smiled at them sweetly. A series of gasps escaped from the helpers'' lips. Even Nadia was also shock, like they couldn''t believe that Lilian doesn''t like the foods that Alpha Karius personally asked them to cook. They felt like their efforts were put to waste when they prepared the foods since they cooked it earlier than their usual time in cooking the dinner. They made their best to make it taste better. But even though they couldn''t This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. believe the fact that Lilian doesn''t like it andmanding them to throw it away, they didn''t say a word about it anymore. "I don''t want these foods. I''m hungry. Kindly prepare my food for five minutes. If you wouldn''t be able to do it on a given time, I''ll tell it to Alpha Karius..." she threathened them smirking before going back to her room again. As soon as she entered her room, she bursted outughing remembering their faces, especially Nadia and the other helper. She knew that they''re probably stress now preparing the food in just a short time. Oh, that was just a simple punishment. Her real wrath is not yeting out. *** IT DIDN''T SURPRISE Lilian anymore that the helpers was able to prepare all the foods within five minutes. The helpers are too afraid that Alpha Karius might found out about it and would punish them. Lilian was smiling sweetly as she was about to eat the spanish foods that they served for her within five minutes when a familiar footsteps came inside the dining area. It was Alpha Karius. It looks like he''s tired from his Alpha duties but as soon as he saw Lilian, his expression softened and smiled a bit. "Good evening. How''s your rest?" he asked as he suddenly crouched down to give him a peck on Lilian''s hair like it was the most natural thing to do. Lilian was actually stunned a bit but she didn''t show any hint of emotion in her eyes. She gritted her teeth at his sudden move on her. Heck, she will not show him that she was moved on that simple peck on her head! "Fine," she answered quickly as she started to get the utensils. She spoon the food and started eating, not minding Alpha Karius anymore, like he was just a wind beside her. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to smile as he sat on his chair staring at Lilian, looking so beautiful in her simple white dress. She''s like a goddess in his eyes. Her beauty never falter. "So... this is what it felt like, huh..." he blurted out all of a sudden, making Lilian looked at her like he said a ridiculous thing. "What?" she asked with her brows raised a bit. "To go home knowing that your love one is waiting for you. It was a nice feeling indeed," he said with a small smile on his lips. Alpha Karius thought before that what he heard from those mated elderly wolves are just absurd. They said that even though the simplest things could make them happy as long as they are with their mates. He understands it now. Going home with Lilian in the house makes the butterflies in his stomach grumbles. It was a nice feeling. He suddenly couldn''t help but to look back on the days that their rtionship was still a secret. Back then, he wasn''t able to do this... to make everyone see his affection to her. And it was the most coward thing that he did all his life. Now, he wanted to change it. This is the time to be man enough to his mate... his Lilian. Meanwhile, despite her system getting wild on what she heard, Lilian remainedposed and calm, not wanting to show any hint of emotion on her face. No, she''s not affected at his words. Maybe it was just a... lie. He would just hurt her in the end like what he did before anyway. "Stop talking and just eat," Lilian told Alpha Karius with her dismissing tone and eat the food. Lilian thought that Alpha Karius would not talk that much as they eat. But she was wrong. He became talkative while they''re both eating their dinner. "Do you have any ns tomorrow? Maybe you could... see your former friends again." He told her. "I''ll see if I''ll have a mood to walk around tomorrow." She''s not in the mood to talk that much so she''s trying to make her answer short and direct to the point. He smiled. "Just tell me so I could ask Calyx or Mason to apany you. I would like to do the honor to apany you but I have duties I shouldn''t miss tomorrow. I''ll try to finish it as early as possible so I could be with you the whole day." He chuckled awkwardly. Lilian remained formal but she straighten her back after hearing Mason''s name. "I prefer Calyx to apany me if ever I have the interest to walk around tomorrow. I don''t want Mason... or anyone," she said sharply as she looked at him. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius'' heart hurt a little realizing something. It looks like Lilian doesn''t really want to be with him that much. He could sense it just by looking at her expression now. He''s not used to this new version of Lilian. If only he could turn back the old her... 26. The Target 26. The Target CHAPTER 26:The Target "THE ALPHA TOLD me to apany you to walk around, Luna," Calyx told Lilian formally as they made their way out of the mansion. They even passed the helpers who are busy working with the household chores and Lilian couldn''t help but to smile sweetly at them remembering the stunt she pulled thest time. It was obvious that they are now intimidated by her presence. On the other hand, it was a good thing that Calyx was the one who apanied her for this day. She doesn''t want to be around Alpha Karius or Mason anyway. "Hmm, yeah. You can just go. I still know my way here in the pack. I could still remember the path towards the omega vige. That''s the first ce that came to my mind..." she told him as she walked faster than him. Meanwhile, Calyx was just following her from behind. He''s still serious and doesn''t talk that much just like before. Physically, he had changed a lot just like Alpha Karius. His muscles had grown in their right ces and he became more serious than before. He''s still the same loyal Beta of Alpha Karius. "That... I can''t let that happen. I will follow you around until Alpha Kariuses back. That''s what he ordered me to do," he said seriously, not really having the ns to let Lilian on what she wants to just roam around the pack on her own. She rolled her eyes. "Whatever..." she murmured and just let Calyx do what he wanted. "I still can''t believe that you''re alive," Calyx said all of a sudden behind her. Calyx was actually confused. All he thought before was Lilian was already dead. He investigated it himself but seeing her in flesh right now made him a bit confused. And howe that she came from the Midnight pack? Did they take her in? And it seems like Lilian has a deep rtionship with the she-wolf Alpha of that pack. Calyx reminded himself to talk to Alpha Karius about it once he had time. He could feel that something had really changed on Lilian. After seeing her before, it seems like her attitude and aura really changed a lot. She became... fiercer and more confident to herself. It was a good change but for him, it feels like there''s something more to it. And he would find it himself especially if it concerns Alpha Karius. Lilian stopped from walking on what she heard. She turned around and looked at Calyx with a smirk on her lips. "Believe it now. Well... just ept the fact that your Alpha failed to protect me back then that''s why I had been through a lot. But look... I was able to get through all of it." He sighed deeply as he clenched his jaw. Calyx knew how devastated the Alpha is on what happened to Lilian before and until now, he''s still ming himself. Even though Calyx doesn''t really want to admit it, the past few days, Alpha Karius became lively when he found out that Lilian is alive. "He regretted all his decisions before. He''s deeply sorry for everything that he did--" "Cut it. I still want to see him suffer," Lilian said, shutting him off from speaking. Calyx''s expression instantly darkened at what she said. She just yfully smirked at him as he clenched his jaw. He doesn''t like how her lips curve in excitement as if she''s really anticipating Alpha Karius'' downfall. And he doesn''t like it. Calyx realized that Lilian is maybe hiding something under her sleeves. And he knew damn well that it wasn''t a good thing. "Don''t you dare. I won''t let you on your ns to ruin him." Her tone was yful but he could feel the heaviness of it. Something is really off on the new version of Lilian in front of him now. She chuckled. "And what? What are you going to do if I did? Are you going to kill me?" She bursted out Content held by N?velDrama.Org. you could eveny a finger on me, your Alpha will surely go berserk and who knows? He could also kill you just for me. You''re just his Beta while me... I''m her mate and her Luna." His breathingbored as his hand balled into fist. It was clear that Calyx didn''t really like what Lilian told him. She wanted tough at his expression now but she remainedposed in front of him when she noticed that he''s losing his cool and patience. "I will make sure you''ll never seed," he told her with his gritted teeth. "Okay. But just a reminder... I won''t back down again just like before. Never again," she said before continuing walking. *** "L-LILIAN? LIAN?! Is that you?!" Lilian turned around when she heard the familiar voice calling her from the other direction. She saw rine looking at her with her teary eyes. rine still looked the same, only that she gained weight and it seems like she doesn''t look tired anymore just like before. rine quickly went to Lilian and was about to hug her but then Calyx was quick enough to go in front of her to stop her on what she''s about to do. Calyx looked at rine with his most intimidating expression. "You can''t juste closer to the Luna just like that. Know your boundaries," Calyx strictly said to rine making her gasped and looked down. "Y-Yeah, right. I''m sorry, I forgot that she''s our Luna now," rine said awkwardly as her shoulders fell down. She''s actually sad knowing that Lilian is not the same Lilian that she knew before. Everything has already changed. She reminded herself not to get toofortable around Lilian from now on. Lilian sighed. "It''s fine. I know her." Calyx brows furrowed. "Alpha Karius strictly told me to watch over you and don''t just let anyone go near or touch you. This is for your own safety." Lilian''s brows furrowed this time. "Didn''t you hear what I said? I know her," she calmly said and used his most authoritative tone with a hint of sharpness. As if rine will even hurt her. That made Calyx immediately back down and just clenched his jaw, letting Lilian do what she wanted. Lilian smiled at rine, encouraging her to continue what she was about to do a while ago. Calyx stepped aside and that was rine''s cue to go to Lilian and hugged her so tight. "I... I can''t believe that it''s true! You''re a-alive! I''m sorry, I wasn''t able to do something to save you before. It bugs me until now." rine suddenly started to sob on Lilian''s shoulders. "Shh. I''m fine now, rine." Lilian unwrapped her hands around her. "How are you? How''s the omegas here?" She looked around and suddenly felt confused. The ce has already changed. And it seems like the omegas are not like before anymore. They are not busy working while someone is watching them. It seems like... they finally got the same privilege just like the other wolves in the pack. rine smiled. "We are all fine here now. You see, everything has changed here. And I''m no longer the head of the omegas. Alpha Axel made me step down from my position." "What? But, why?" Lilian''s brows furrowed. "A year ago, Alpha Karius decided to break the barrier between the higher ranked wolves and the omegas. They are not treating us like ves anymore. And we''re so thankful that he finally got the courage to change our system. It feels so nice that we''re all treated the same now." While rine was telling her those things, her eyes were glistening. It couldn''t be denied that she''s happy. Inside Lilian''s head, she couldn''t help but to feel confused. So, Alpha Karius made a decision to mix omegas with the other wolves in the pack. Then, that''s good. At least, they are not treated like the pack''s ves now. She''s happy for the omegas here. "That''s a nice news, then," she just said to rine with a small smile on her lips. "Yeah. By the way, do you want toe with me? We are training on the field. Mason was the one leading the training right now." rine suggested. Hearing Mason''s name, Lilian raised her brow. So, he''s still here, huh, she thought. "Okay. Let''s go there," Lilian told rine. rine immediately clung to Lilian''s arm as they made their way towards the open field. And just like what rine said, they are indeed training. Each of the wolves are holding their bow and arrow, focusing to aim for the target just a few distance from them. They are practicing archery that reminded her of the Midnight pack where she also used to train something like this. Behind them was Mason seriously instructing the wolves, giving them the go signal before they released their arrow. As soon as they release the arrow, Mason''s brows furrowed like he''s not pleased on the target that the wolves hit. It''s far from the bullseye. Even from a few distance, Lilian was able to see how he clenched his jaw as his hand balled into fist like he''s stopping himself tosh out in anger. Before he could even say a word, Calyx immediately caught his attention. "The Luna is here. Give respect to her," Calyx said seriously to Mason. Mason immediately drifted his eyes on Lilian. His face immediately paled when he saw her. The wolves bowed down when they saw Lilian to give respect. Mason was thest one to bow down, making Lilian smirked. She couldn''t believe that the man who followed Gianna like a ve before is now bowing down in front of her like a scared cat. An idea suddenly came inside Lilian''s mind. "Wow. You''re practicing archery?" Mason nodded hesitantly as he gulped. "Y-Yes, Luna..." She smirked. "I want to practice with them. Can I?" She shed her sweetest smile in front of them. "Of course, you can, L-Luna." Lilian pped her hand excitedly as she got an extra bow and arrow at the table beside Mason. "But can you do me a favor? Can you be my target instead and not the board there?" she asked, pointing the board a few distance from them, making Mason almost fall on the ground and gasp. 27. The Wicked Smirk 27. The Wicked Smirk CHAPTER 27: The Wicked Smirk LILIAN BURSTED OUT inughter when she saw that Mason almost passed out in his position right now. It seems like what she said is still registering in his head but he realized that she''s just kidding. Everyone who heard what she said didn''t seem to find it funny. Instead, they remained silent as her When Mason finally recovered momentster, he smirked. "A-Are you sure, Luna? Do you know how to y archery?" he asked, masking his nervousness with what he said. Mason was actually uneasy. He knew that Lilian was not good at this. He had known her before and she''s one of the Omegas he doesn''t really like. Lilian is a hard headed omega, added the fact that she''s also used of being a thief by Gianna before. It''s still not registering to his mind that she''s indeed alive after what he did before. He already admitted to his mistake before but seeing her like this now... as if she''s taunting him and mocking him... it irritates the hell out of him. He can''t just scold her like what he''s doing before since he''s now the new Luna of the pack. Alpha Karius already marked her. So, the best thing that he should do now is toy low or else... Alpha Karius will punish him again. Lilian suddenly smirked. "Actually... no." She lied, making Mason feel tense even more. "But I''m familiar with this game." Her voice was teasing, as if ying archery was not a deadly game to someone who''s not even ying it, that''s what Mason thought in his head. He wanted to protest. He wanted to stop Lilian from doing what she wanted to do but he couldn''t. He can''t disobey Alpha Karius'' Luna... the real Luna. Mason cleared his throat. "Then you can use the board as the target instead." Lilian shook her head. "No. I want you to be the target. Get an apple and put it on your head." "B-But... Luna, you might hit me--" "Isn''t that cool? It will be much more fun if I hit your face instead." She cut him off from speaking with her most authoritative tone. Mason wasn''t able to speak after that and was just clenching his jaw. The other wolves who were hearing their conversation didn''t say a word and were just staring at them but it was visible on their faces that they were shocked by what Lilian just said. But then, the tension died down a bit when Lilian suddenlyughed again as she shook her head, like everything was just pure entertainment to her. Mason couldn''t help but to clench his jaw again as his hand balled into fist. "Just follow what our Luna wants you to do, Mason... or else, the Alpha will know about this," Calyx suddenly said, making Mason inhale air and tilt his head a bit. He thenter on nodded his head. He can''t mess up again. Thest thing that he wanted to happen is to make Alpha Karius mad again. The But one thing is for sure. He doesn''t want to waste this second chance again. "Fine." Mason nodded as he got an apple ced on the side, at the top of the table, and walked towards the board and positioned himself there. Like what Lilian told him, he put the apple on his head and stood straight like a statue. Lilian smirked when she saw that there''s a hint of nervousness in Mason''s face even from a few distance. He''s not moving at all. She got the bow and arrow and scanned it curiously. It''s almost the same as the one she''s using back in Midnight Pack, so she''s sure to herself that she could use it properly. She may not be the best yer of archery in Midnight pack but at least, she knows how to hit the bullseye. "A-Are you sure with this, Luna? You might really hit his head," rine said nervously to Lilian. Lilian just smiled at her sweetly and didn''t bother to reply to what she said anymore. She sighed and positioned herself to aim the target-- the apple on Mason''s head. She stretched it and readying to aim the apple and not long enough, she released it smoothly. She never once trembled while holding the arrow so she was sure that the result was good. And just what she thought, it hits the apple, making everyone gasps in amazement like they''re not really expecting it to happen. They even pped their hands making Lilian smile proudly at them all. "Wow!" "Our Luna can y archery!" "She''s so good!" Lilian could hear the series ofpliments from the other wolves around her and she was just smirking, not because she was able to hit the apple but because of Mason''s reaction as he stared up on his head. He was obviously shaking like his head was the one who got hit but immediately sighed in relief when it didn''t. "That was one hell of a nice shot!" rinemented beside her with eyes widened in shock as Lilian put the bow and arrow on the table beside them. rine even pointed the arrow that just hit the apple on Mason''s head as she gasped in amazement. Lilian was just giggling at everyone''s reaction as she smoothly fixed her hair and tucked it behind her ears, like what she just showed was nothing at all. "So... you''ve learned how to y archery, huh?" Calyx said seriously but there''s a little smirk forming on his lips. It was also obvious that he was amazed from her shot earlier. He was one of those wolves who pped their hands earlier. Lilian shrugged her shoulders. "Hmm. Not really." She giggled. "It''s just beginner''s luck." "What?! Beginner''s luck? It seems like you''ve been ying archery all your life!" rine suddenly told her. Lilian didn''t bother to answer what she just said anymore and looked at Mason once again. He''s still not moving in his position as if everything is still not sinking inside his head. She smirked at him. If ever he''s going to do another monkey business while she''s here, she swear that the arrow will bury on his face for real next time. *** HOW''S YOUR DAY?" Alpha Karius asked once Lilian got inside his mansion. The helpers immediately went towards her direction as if they were ready to assist her if she wanted help but she just raised her hand a bit, signaling them that she doesn''t need their help. "It was fine," Lilian answered quickly as she made her way to the refrigerator to get cold water. Alpha Karius was just following her as she drank on her ss. Lilian could feel her piercing gaze behind him, realizing that he wouldn''t just go away. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius was staring seriously at Lilian but his wolf was really itching to touch him. But he can''t since he could feel the barrier between them, and he doesn''t want to just invade her personal distance just like that even though they already did more than that for a lot of times. What can he do? Lilian was just so effortlessly beautiful and sexy in her simple dress. It awakens the bulge in between his thighs but he''s trying to stop himself. "Calyx told me that you yed archery earlier... and he also said that you''ve hit the target smoothly," Alpha Karius said, trying to strike a conversation between them. Lilian stared at him before she put the ss on the sink and washed it. She turned around and saw his face. His expression instantly softened when he met her gaze. "Yeah. I''ve been ying archery back then in Midnight pack. I trained with the other wolves there, so..." She shrugged her shoulders. "It was just easy for me to aim the target." He nodded. "I see. I hope one of these days, I could train with you..." She smirked. "Let''s see about that. Aren''t you busy with your Alpha duties?" she asked as she took a step closer towards his direction. Lilian saw how his Adam''s apple moved when she lifted her hands and held his broad shoulders. His eyes darkened when he looked closely at Lilian''s face. She could smell his manly scent mixed with mint from his breath that made her almost forgot about the sudden idea came to her mind. "I already did some of my duties the other day. I''m sure the next few days, my schedule will be free so I could apany you if you wanted to roam around the pack again or if you wanted to train..." he said huskily. "Or... do you have any idea in mind? I''ll be with you..." "Hmm..." She acted like she was thinking something but the truth is, she''s not. Lilian raised her hand a bit and held his neck, tracing the most sensitive spot. She caressed his skin there as she tiptoed to reach his ear, brushing her breast to his chiseled chest teasingly. She could feel how he''s stopping himself from groaning from the way he gulped. "Okay. If that''s what you want, Alpha. But I know something that is more exciting than training and roaming around the pack," she said meaningfully as she looked down at his pants that''s obviously grown a tent. Her hand went down to it and palmed it while looking at his eyes. A wicked smirk formed on her lips. If this is the only way that she could fully wrap him around her fingers, then she would do it. 28. The Mark She Couldnt Give 28. The Mark She Couldn''t Give CHAPTER 28: The Mark She Couldn''t Give SMIRKING, LILIAN GETS away from Alpha Karius when she saw that his eyes darkened on what she said. It was obvious that he was too affected by what she did. She immediately stepped back when she saw how he clenched his jaw as his breathing ragged from their small distance. The smell of his manly scent almost made her back down. "Teaching the pups. That''s what I mean. Teaching them is exciting for me, Alpha Karius. I love kids so much! Can I?" Lilian asked as she smiled sensually at him. "Of course, you can do that, my Luna..." Alpha Karius replied with his deep and husky voice but his thoughts suddenly drifted to something. Lilian loves kids... just like him. It reminded him of their pup that he wasn''t even able to hold or kiss. Until now, it still hurts for him whenever he thinks about how Lilian got through all of it while she''s alone. If he''s already hurting, what more to Lilian? Even though she already changed, Alpha Karius could still feel that the old Lilian is still in her. She may have changed her attitude and her physical appearance but Alpha Karius was certain that the woman that he had loved before until now is still in her. "Great! When can we do that then?" Her voice wasced with excitement. She didn''t mind how Alpha Karius grew a damn boner while she''s talking in front of her but she also saw how his emotion suddenly changed a bit like he was thinking something deep. She didn''t mind it though as she was having fun teasing him with her naughty remarks. "Maybe... tomorrow?" Desire and lust is still dancing in his eyes as he talks. Secondster, Alpha Karius licked his lower lip as he tilted his head a bit as if he just came back to his senses. Alpha Karius wanted to punch himself so bad. He almost caved into his own lust and desire again when his gaze went down to Lilian''s pretty face... down to her luscious plump lips that got wet from drinking water awhile ago. He suddenly wanted a taste of those lips but he couldn''t. He knew the fact that Lilian wouldn''t like it so he had to set aside his desire a bit. But on the other side of his brain, he thought that maybe he could do more than kissing with her again the next time since he''s also worried about the mark process. If ever Lilian fails to give her mark to him, she will deteriorate. And he doesn''t like that to happen. The best thing that he could do now is to convince her to do ''it'' with him again and give the mark to him. But he doesn''t know how since Lilian is just only having fun teasing him and doesn''t really have the ns to do it with him again. "Okay. I''m so excited!" she eximed. "I''ll just go to my room and get changed. It has been a tiring day for me," she added as she turned her back to him and left. Actually, she''s not really tired. She just yed archery with the other wolves and it was just an easy game for her. She just wanted to get away from Alpha Karius since she suddenly felt suffocated at their distance. Lilian couldn''t help but to let out a giggle as soon as she reached her own room. His reaction was priceless when she let go of him. He looked like a pup that had been deprived of something that he couldn''t have. She sighed as she sat down on the soft mattress of the bed and rxed a bit. She wouldn''t deny the fact that she felt the pooling of her panties earlier... even until now. Alpha Karius is effortlessly hot! That should not be a big deal anymore. He got the looks and the body so it''s not that surprising anymore that despite his rank and position, female wolves are not intimidated by him. It actually turns them on knowing that he got the power. At that thought, Lilian suddenly felt hot and unconsciously held the mark on her neck as she bit her lower lip. Mindlessly, Lilian''s hand went down to her chest, to her boobs and groped it. A soft sigh escaped from her lips when she closed her eyes and a familiar image of a man came to her mind. "Hmm..." It was Alpha Karius. It came to her mind how he clenched his jaw like he''s stopping himself to unleash the real beast inside him. Lilian was so lost to her own thoughts that her other hand suddenly slipped inside her dress and caressed her own thigh. Her dress hitched up as her hands found her most sensitive area that''s still covered with the soaking fabric of her panties. "Fuck," she whispered under her breath as soon as she felt her own wetness. Goodness. Why is she even doing this to herself?! She''s getting insane! She''s not like this. Why does she suddenly feel all hot like a wanton woman? She doesn''t know what came to her mind anymore and helped herself to pull down her own panty and cupped her soaking sex while her other hand is still groping her breast. She pinched her hardened pebbles while she''s still fully cloth that made her wet even more. "Ahh..." Lilian moaned when she start pleasuring herself, rubbing her throbbing cl*t and ying with her nipples. She did it in a circr manner as her chest went up and down because of her heavy breathings. She spread her legs wider to have more ess on her core, inserting her finger inside it. A long moan escaped from her mouth on what she did. She didn''t notice anymore that she pushed down her dress harshly along with her bra revealing her pinkish nipples. Lilian kept on ying with her wetness, not knowing that the door was slightly opened and someone was watching her desperately reaching her own peak. "I can do more than that if you want..." Lilian immediately stopped and opened her eyes. She turned her head a bit and saw Alpha Karius with his dark expression, lust dancing in his eyes as he watched what she''s doing to herself. The bulge inside his pants is now obvious, as if the beast is finally awakened like a while ago when she cupped it. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius never knew that he would see Lilian in a situation like this, pleasuring herself until she reached her highest peak. It never came to his mind that she could do this. But he''s so damn turned on at that sight! Even if her back was facing him earlier, he could already tell how sexy she was as she touched her core. Now, he''s thanking the Goddess that Lilian forgot to close the door of her room properly. He should stop himself but lust and desire already consumed his own body. It was as if it ruled his system that he didn''t notice himself anymore that he already came inside her room and closed the door. He nced at her again and licked his lower lip when he saw how hot she is in her position right now. Her hair is slightly disheveled as her dress is now pulled down to her stomach revealing her breast. Her legs are spread wider as if she''s waiting for him to touch the thing in between her thighs. "Lick me, then," Lilian replied sensually with a yful smirk on her lips that made Alpha Karius'' eyes widened a bit in surprise. He was stunned a bit but he didn''t let it rule his system as he took his steps closer towards her, not wasting any seconds. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Alpha Karius didn''t need her to say that because he would if she only let him... and she did that made his dick throb in so much anticipation. "dly, My Luna. dly..." he whispered as he went to her and knelt down on the floor like a ve worshiping his own God. The smell of her arousal immediately attacked his nostrils that he couldn''t help but to clench his jaw to stop himself from taking her roughly in just a snap. Without further ado, he stuck out his tongue and licked the base of her cl*t upwards, earning a whimper from her. He looked at at her reaction and he couldn''t help but to smirk how fucking pretty she is wearing her arouse face... her eyes are closed as her head falls back in pleasure while her lips are hanging open. "Ohh, fuck. That''s one good lick..." she whispered as she buried her hands in Alpha Karius'' hair, slightly pulling it when she felt that he licked her sensitive core again. He suddenly pushed his tongue inside her core as he yed with her throbbing cl*t that it created a sensual sound. Alpha Karius was just staring at Lilian as he continued pounding her using his sinful tongue, not wanting to tear off his gaze from her while focusing on eating her most sensitive flesh and tasting every corner of it. Momentster after licking and touching her aching bud, Alpha Karius felt the shaking of her legs and suddenly released all her juices inside his mouth. He groaned when he finally had her sweet taste in his tongue, it made his pants tighten because of his hard and erected shaft. Goddess. He wanted to take her now! "Fuck me..." Lilian demanded after he licked her clean. Her boldness made him hotter even more as his breathingbored. Alpha Karius doesn''t really know what''s gotten into him but he tried to ask about the mark. "I will if you''ll give me your mark. I already gave mine..." He stared at her creamy neck that''s a bit sweaty because of the hotness she was feeling. She chuckled as she suddenly closed her legs. Desire is now gone from her eyes as she smirked at him while bending down a bit to touch his clenching jaw. "I will not give my mark to an asshole like you," she whispered. 29. The School of Pups 29. The School of Pups CHAPTER 29: THE School of Pups "IS THERE ANY other way for this? Lilian wouldn''t give me her mark that easily and I understand it," Alpha Karius said in front of Penny the next morning. He already treated Penny as his friend. She''s actually nice and one of the people who helped Lilian before so he has no issue about her. She''s a witch and he gets her as one of the healers of the pack. Sighing, a memory fromst night came to his mind. He grew a damn boner after pleasuring Lilian. It was damn painful for him and he had to resort with his own hand in his bathroom because Lilian didn''t let her enter her after that. He was stunned at her words and was also hurt, he wouldn''t deny that. But then, she was right. He''s an asshole and he doesn''t deserve her mark. But he''s just worried about her. He doesn''t want her life to be put at stake here. Her safety is his most priority now. He had already made his own mistake before so he should not make another mistake again. Penny sighed as she slowly shook her head. "There''s... none. I don''t know any other way," Penny said with her most sad tone. Penny couldn''t help but to pity Alpha Karius. She never knew that she could see him this way. She knew him as ruthless and powerful but ever since Lilian disappeared, it feels like his heart died too. The only thing that happened beautifully when Lilian was gone is when Alpha Karius became more sensitive to his own pack. He improved a lot when ites to the wolves. He became a better Alpha and became open to the suggestion of everyone, whether it came from a higher rank wolf or the lowest rank of a wolf. Until now, Penny still couldn''t believe the idea of Alpha Karius destroying the system that has been practiced ever since the Moon Stone pack was formed by his ancestors. His ancestors never really favored the Omegas and treated them ves. But now... Alpha Karius was able to abolish it and unite everyone no matter what their rank is. He did all of it while Lilian was gone. And Penny has a thought that he did it for her. He became better just for her. He personally called for her this morning to talk to her about the mark. And he couldn''t help but to sigh deeply at her answer. This is really frustrating him. If only he could just Lilian for sex that easily for her to give her mark. But that won''t work that way! Damn it! "Okay... thanks for that, Penny." Penny sighed heavily at the sight of Alpha Karius like he''s losing hope. "She changed a lot, right?" She smiled sadly at what she said. Even though she didn''t see Lilian yet, Penny already knew that she changed based on how frustrated Alpha Karius is right now. Alpha Karius straightened his back when she heard what Penny asked him. He clenched his jaw. "Y- Yeah..." He let out a deep sigh as if he''s having a hard time. She sighed. "That''s one of the reasons why I''m still afraid to see her personally. rine told me that it was like she''s facing a new version of Lilian when she saw her. Lilian is still good to her but it couldn''t be denied the barrier between them. It was like she''s not familiar with her aura anymore." He nodded his head. "She hates me," he said as a matter of fact. Well, she wouldn''t call him an asshole if she didn''t hate him. "Well, Alpha Karius... what she had been through was not a joke. She experienced hell in your own pack so you couldn''t really me her for acting that way." "I know. It''s all my fault." Penny was right. He couldn''t me Lilian for being like that to him. Maybe it''s her way of punishing him for hurting her before. Penny softly smiled at Alpha Karius. "Don''t worry, Alpha Karius. I know that the old Lilian is still in her. I hope that one day, she will have the courage to forgive you and open her heart to you again." Penny couldn''t help but to be sad for Alpha Karius. She saw how devastated he was when she thought that Lilian was already dead. She saw how he grieved and got hurt multiple times for hoping that Lilian woulde back to him someday. And now that she came back, it feels like he''s still not able to reach her. She could feel how hard this is for him. "I hope so, Penny. I hope so..." Alpha Karius replied with a sad smile formed on his lips. *** "CAN YOU PLEASE, clean my room?" Lilian asked Nadia when she''s about to enter the other guest room to clean. Nadia is holding a dust cloth with a spray on her other other hand. Nadia cleared her throat nervously. "Uh... I''ll ask the other helper to do it, Luna--" "I want you to do it," Lilian cut her off from speaking with her most intimidated voice. Nadia gasped a bit but instead of protesting, she slowly entered Lilian''s room. Actually, her room is not that dirty. She makes sure that her surroundings are clean and organized. She just wanted to make fun of Nadia and she suddenly had the mood to show her bitchy side to her. As soon as Nadia stepped inside Lilian''s room, she started wiping the side table with the cloth she''s holding even though it''s already clean. While cleaning, Lilian was just staring at her while crossing her arms in front of her chest as her brow arched a bit. When Nadia started sweeping the floor, an idea came to Lilian''s mind. She went to her vanity table and got the powder. She purposely poured the powder on the floor. "Oops! Sorry!" Lilian said as she smirked. Nadia immediately moved and wiped the powder on the floor. She did it again and Nadia would just wipe it withoutining as she sighed deeply. When she was done teasing Nadia, she looked at her seriously. "I''m gonna get out now. Don''t steal something in my room, okay? Or else..." she threatened as she smirked. Well, Lilian is not that really worried about the things that Nadia might steal in the room. As if she could even do that! Lilian just wants her to remember what happened before... when she was used of stealing something and Nadia did nothing. *** LILIAN WAS JUST smiling the whole time as Alpha Karius guided her towards the ce where she will take her for this day. Alpha Karius was obviously notfortable around her because he would avoid her gaze whenever their eyes met. Of course, she very well knows why. After what happenedst night, she''s sure as hell that he''s probably ashamed to face her now. He wasn''t able to prate her after what she said to him. He said something about her mark... on when will I give it to him. Well, she''s not really nning to give C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org her mark to him. She doesn''t deserve it. "We''re here," Alpha Karius said when they are now in front the small school where the pups studies. And for this day, Lilian wanted to personally teach them and introduce herself formally to them. "Alpha Karius!" They both nced at the left side where they heard the voice calling Alpha Karius. A cute and chubby little boy went towards Alpha Karius and raised his hands as if he''s asking him to carry him. "Oh, hey, Axel! How are you?" Alpha Karius asked with a hint of softness in his tone. Lilian''s brow raised a bit at his tone. She didn''t expect it. She didn''t expect that she would be really this gentle to a child. Her thoughts suddenly drifted to something in the past that made her gulped because of the lump in her throat. Would he be this gentle if ever their child is... alive? Lilian immediately brushed off that idea from her mind and just looked at the surroundings. It was like a typical human school for the pups. There''s a yground and a small garden. The walls are painted with light colors, making it look livelier for the pups. "Who is she, Alpha? She''s so pretty!" Lilian went back to reality when she heard the voice of the kid that is now being carried by Alpha Karius. He chuckled. "She''s Lilian, Axel. She''s my mate and my Luna." The kid pouted. "Oh. She''s already mated? That''s sad. I want to be her boyfriend when I grow up." Alpha Karius chuckled at what the kid said. Even Lilian smiled a bit. "No, I won''t allow that. Sorry, buddy," Alpha Karius answered. "And please, inform the other pups that I''m here together with my Luna." He put down the kid immediately and just ruffled his hair. The kid just nodded before running away from them. Lilian didn''t bother to speak after that, making Alpha Karius look at him. He cleared his throat and smiled a bit and said, "Wee to Jade Alistair School, My Luna. This is the first ever school for pups here in Moon Stone Pack." A gasp escaped from Lilian''s lips as what he said sinked inside her head. Jade Alistair... he named it after their second names. Alpha Karius real name is Karius Alistair Lennox, while her name is Lilian Jade Montgomery. 30. The Three Reasons 30. The Three Reasons CHAPTER 30: The Three Reasons "MY NAME IS Lilian Jade Montgomery and I am the Luna of Moon Stone Pack," Lilian introduced herself in front of the pups when she was given the go signal to speak in front. She''s smiling in front of the kids as they stare at her curiously. It drifted her thoughts to the pups in Midnight Pack for a moment. The school of pups in Midnight pack isn''t like this. The Jade Alistair School is far nicer than the school in Midnight pack. The walls here are painted with cute paintings of butterflies, flowers and small pups ying. It was pleasing to see since it''s also colorful. It somehow made Lilian happy seeing the kids enjoying it while learning. It reminded her of the system before. Every pup isn''t privileged enough to go to school unless they are a daughter or son of a higher ranked wolf. But now... they are all here. Some of the kids are familiar with her but she couldn''t recall their names anymore since she''s gone from this pack for a year or more. Lilian''s gaze went to the side when she saw Alpha Karius talking a bit to Teacher Naia. Teacher Naia will sometimesugh as she would also yfully p Alpha Karius biceps. She''s purposely doing it, that''s what Lilian thought as she looked at the both of them. Teacher Naia is a half human and a half wolf. She''s the one teaching the pups in this school. It couldn''t be denied that she''s indeed pretty, her mustard dressplimented her sun kissed skin. It was obvious that Teacher Naia is attracted to Alpha Karius. From the way sheughed and blush, Lilian couldn''t help but to arch her brow a bit as she looked at them. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius doesn''t seem to mind Teacher Naia''s advances towards him as he was just staring at Lilian the whole time as she lectures the wolf some things that she''s also teaching back in the midnight pack. His lips would curl into a small smile when he noticed how attentive the pups are while she''s talking in front. There''s no doubt that Lilian loves kids so much. "Luna! Luna!" A kid suddenly raised his hand making Lilian stop talking while reading a fable. "Yes?" Lilian asked with a friendly smile still stered on her lips. "You''re already mated to Alpha Karius, right?" The kid asked as he pouted a bit, like he''s so sad on the news. "Uh... yeah. Why?" Well, not yet fully mated since she didn''t give her mark to him but it would be hard to exin it to the kids in a simple way. "Too bad. You''re my crush!" The kid blurted out while blushing so hard, making Lilian giggled. "No, Simon! She''s my crush! I want to be her boyfriend when I grow up! Alpha Karius! When will you break up with your Luna?" Another kid suddenly shouted as he stood up as he shamelessly looked at Alpha Karius at the back, making the attention of Teacher Naia also look in her direction. The kid was Axel, the same kid that came to Alpha Karius earlier. Everyoneughed at Axel but he was just pouting. Lilian couldn''t help but to alsough. Kids are indeed a breath of fresh air for her. Alpha Karius at the back sighed heavily but there''s a small smirk on his lips as he goes in front, not minding Teacher Naia who''s gawking at him. His both hands are ced inside his pocket as he throws a nce at the kids. "Axel, I already told you that I won''t allow that," he told the pouting kind. He then went to Lilian''s direction and she gasped on the next thing that he did. He pulled her on the waist making the kids cheered at their ''sweetness'' before nting a kiss at the side of her head. Meanwhile, the other two kids who are iming that Lilian is their crush were both frowning at Alpha Karius and Lilian. "Yieeeeh! Our Alpha is so sweet!" one kid cheered. Lilian doesn''t know what to react but she could feel how her face heated as the kids looked at the both of them dreamily, like they also can''t believe that their Alpha is acting sweet in front of them. Alpha Karius was just smirking, it was obvious that he''s enjoying the attention that the kids are giving to them. Lilian cleared her throat to conceal the sudden feeling that she felt at the pit of her stomach. She knew that feeling... the feeling where there''s a butterfly inside her grumbling and she wouldn''t deny the fact that it was a nice feeling. But her thoughts drifted to something. She shouldn''t feel this way. She''s here for her revenge... for Alpha Karius to get hurt and experience all his pain that she had felt before. Momentster, Alpha Karius gets off Lilian as she tries to act like she''s not affected at all while she continues her lecture. Her expression went emotionless when their eyes met secretly... like it was enough to tell him that she didn''t really like what he did just a while ago. She didn''t like how he got suddenly touchy in front of the kids because it somehow made her feel those strange feelings again. *** "I''M SORRY FOR what I did earlier." Lilian stopped from fixing the instructional materials scattered on the floor as soon as she heard Alpha Karius'' voice. The pups went out for a bit together with their Teacher Naia for their quick snacks. And now, she''s left with Alpha Karius inside the room. She looked at him seriously. "I honestly didn''t like what you did. Don''t touch me like that in front of the other wolves again without my permission." Lilian made sure that her tone was firm and cold. After the realization hits her earlier that she''s starting to feel that kind of emotion again, she thought that it would be better to guard her heart this time. It has only been a few days after she got back in the Moon Stone pack and yet here she is, already shakened about her revenge. She should only focus on that thing. That''s the real reason why she came back here. He sighed deeply as he looked at Lilian and put the educational books on the shelves. He couldn''t help but to gulp seeing her bum protruding a bit because of her above the knee dress that would hitch up a bit whenever she moved. He tore off his gaze from that and focused on Lilian''s face this time. This is not the time to get turned on even though his wolf is really pushing him to grab Lilian''s soft bum against the thin fabric of her dress. "This school... I built it three months after you... disappeared." He suddenly opened up about it. He wanted her to know about it. That made Lilian finally face him without any hint of emotion on her face. Jade Alistair School. A school named after their second names. He built it because his reasons were all connected to her. "Why did you name it that way? Jade Alistair, huh?" She chuckled without any hint of humor in her tone as she shook her head a bit. "I named it that way for three reasons..." Her brow arched a bit as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, trying to intimidate him but it was useless since he wasn''t even bothered on the way she stared at him. She''s actually curious about his so-called three reasons. There are many changes in this pack in just a span of a year. And she must admit that this school is one of the changes that she really likes here. Every pup in the pack is now given the opportunity to learn despite their status in life, a thing that she didn''t experience before. Remembering about it, Lilian couldn''t help but to feel sad about herself before. She didn''t have the chance to learn just like the kids now. She learned with the help of the elderly omegas who taught her the basic things like writing and reading. Other than that, she self-studied and was fond of reading books whenever the elderly omegas give her old books. When she had a rtionship with Alpha Karius, one of their bonding before is he would sometimes lecture him some basic things about their race. It was fun before. But remembering it all now is just making her want to suddenly just forget all of it. "What are those three reasons then?" Lilian was actually curious about it. "It was all connected to you." He sighed, there''s a sad smile formed on his lips. "First, this school keeps on reminding me of you. I knew before that you love kids so much when we were still together and it hurts me because we can''t be a normal mated wolves like any other else..." Lilian clenched her jaw when she suddenly brought up the past. Well, she said that before but they didn''t really n to have a child but that happened... "Second is... it has been my coping mechanism from what happened to you. They keep on telling me that you were... d-dead. And I didn''t believe them. I knew that you woulde back to me someday." He smiled bitterly. "I worked so hard to build this school to not think too much about you before. I also buried myself with work not minding what would everyone say to me anymore. It hurts because N?velDrama.Org (C) content. everyone just keeps on shoving in my face that you''re already dead." He chuckled without any trace of rumor in his tone. She remained staring at her as she suddenly felt the lump on her throat, not nning to interrupt him. "And third... the most painful one. I built this school because of our... lost little pup. Penny told me about it, Lilian. She told me that..." He looked down as his eyes turned misty. "I''m sorry... I''m so sorry¡­" 31. The Meeting Place 31. The Meeting ce CHAPTER 31: The Meeting ce IT''S BEEN A WEEK but Lilian didn''t talk that much with Alpha Karius anymore. She didn''t roam around the pack anymore as theirst talk just lingered in her mind. She didn''t respond to what he said that time anymore and was just staring at him without any hint of emotion in his face. They''re just staring at each other until the kidse back together with their Teacher Naia. They continued their lecture for that day like Alpha Karius didn''t open up about it. Their child is such a sensitive topic for her. And Alpha Karius opening it up to her is making her remember the sole reason why she''s doing her revenge. Because the truth is, she''s not only doing it for what happened to her before. She wanted to avenge her unborn child... their child who didn''t have the chance to see the world. The child that she could''ve saved in the past if only Alpha Karius didn''t hurt her. Lilian jolted a bit on her bed when she heard the knock on her door the next morning. Shezily got up and opened the door revealing Nadia holding a tray with her breakfast. She''s not really going out when she knows that Alpha Karius is still in the mansion. She would only go out when she knows that he''s already out for his Alpha duties. And Alpha Karius seemed to know about her avoiding him because he didn''t budge her anymore after that, although he was trying to be civil to her and would talk to her about simple things when they saw each other in the mansion. "Here''s your breakfast, Luna..." Nadia said as she gently put the tray on the side table. It was her breakfast, just bread and a coffee like what she wanted. She''s not really used to eating heavy breakfast in the morning so this is enough for her. Lilian smiled a bit at Nadia. "Thank you," she replied, making Nadia''s brows furrowed a bit. Nadia couldn''t help but to think that maybe there''s something wrong with their Luna right now. Lilian had been so mean to her for the past days. And she gets why she''s acting that way. Hearing her thank you is such a big confusion to her. Nadia couldn''t help but to think about what happened in the past... where she did nothing on Gianna''s stunt and used Lilian for something that she didn''t even do. Nadia knew that Lilian did it but she didn''t want Gianna to get mad at her that time since they all thought that she''s their Luna... but it all turned out that it was all just a setup. Alpha Karius just used her andter on got rid of her from the pack. The past few days, Lilian realized that even though she would show her bitchy side to Nadia, she won''t just budge. Nadia never talks back to her and would just quietly follow what she wants and Lilian hates it. She hates it that she doesn''t get any reaction from her that she gets tired from being bitch to her. She wanted to see her crying in front of her or to be angry at her but it seems like that''s impossible to happen now. Nadia just smiled at her, actually happy inside her head because Lilian isn''t mean to her right now. What happened the other day where she didn''t like the food they cooked and cooked something new for five minutes was still so fresh to her. Nadia wanted to create a good impression on her now even though her view towards her was already tainted because of what happened in the past. "Is the Alpha still downstairs?" She asked Nadia. "The Alpha already left for his duty, Luna." Lilian nodded. This morning, she just wanted to go to the gardenter to look at the flowers that rxed her whenever she looked at them from the balcony of her room. She wanted to see it up close this time. They all looked pretty from afar and she thinks that they are prettier up close, too. Nadiater left as Lilian started to eat her breakfast. She decided to take a bath after that and change into her mostfortable dress. Lilian went downstairs sporting her smiling face making the other helpers cleaning looked at her weirdly. She''s not really approachable whenever they are looking at her so she gets why they are This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. gazing at her with their confused expression. "Good morning!" Lilian greeted the helpers cheerfully. It was clear that they were a bit hesitant if they would greet her back since Lilian saw how the other one pinch the side of the other helper. But then, they looked at her with their nervous expression before they greeted her back with a bit of hesitation in their tone. "G-Good morning, Luna..." Lilian just nodded. "I''ll just roam around the garden." She informed them and they just both nodded. Lilian walked her way to the garden and smiled as soon as she smelled the fresh breeze of the air that had a hint of the fragrant flowers. The garden was actually wide. She could even shift here and run around with her wolf form if she wants but she didn''t want that to happen so she prefers just wandering around the wide garden. There are different varieties of flowers that are well taken care of. She ran around giggling like a kid, suddenly forgetting about her revenge and her issue on Alpha Karius and everyone around her. She suddenly felt like a kid again... no problems and just ying around. She closed her eyes and held the flowers as she walked with a smile on her lips, feeling the wind and the sunlight kissed her skin. But her smile suddenly vanished when she felt another familiar presence. She opened her eyes again and saw a familiar figure of a woman just a few distance from her. "L-Lilian..." She pursed her lips. Lilian never knew that she would show up here in front of her now. She''s not expecting this to happen. But she smiled, even though she''s the reason why Alpha Karius knew about their unborn child. She told him about it. "Penny." Lilian called her name as she strode closer towards her direction. As soon as she got closer to Penny, she smiled even though she could see the tears forming in the corner of her eyes. "Y-You''re really here, Lilian." "Call me Luna. That''s how you should address me from now on. I''m mated to the Alpha of this pack," Lilian replied coldly like she''s trying to intimidate her but still shing her sweet smile in front of Penny. Penny, on the other hand, shivers at Lilian''s coldness. She already knew that she changed a lot but not to this extent. Even from afar, she already felt the coldness of her aura making her step back a bit. She couldn''t believe Lilian''s aura had be heavier despite being an Omega. "I''m sorry, Luna. Uh..." Penny suddenly got lost on words. She doesn''t know what to say now that Lilian is just in front of her now. "You told him about it." "A-About what, Luna?" Penny''s brows furrowed. "My... child." A gasp escaped from Penny''s lips, not expecting that Lilian would open up about it. "I-I''m sorry, Luna." She looked down, suddenly felt scared to meet Lilian''s gaze. "I just thought that he deserved to know about it especially when... we all thought that you''re already... d-dead that time." Lilian didn''t talk after that for a moment that made Penny nervous. She yed with her own hands that are now slightly shaking because she''s really intimidated at this version of Lilian now. But then, she stiffened when she heard Lilian''s slight chuckle. "I''m just kidding. Don''t be so serious, Penny! Loosen up a bit, c''mon!" Lilian even tapped her shoulders a bit as she giggled. Penny doesn''t know how to react after that. She was about to say something when a helper from the mansion suddenly came to them. "Yes?" Lilian''s brow raised a bit. "Uh... Luna, I forgot to tell you a while ago. The Alpha wanted you to go to the... uh, tree houseter this evening. He has something important to tell you..." Lilian thought a bit. What''s this all about now? Why does he want her to go to the tree house again? That ce brings back so many bad memories to her. That ce used to be their favorite ce but now... all that Lilian could think about is the pain he had caused her... and how she lost her child. And evening? Why not now? She has so many questions but her brows just furrowed because she knew that even the helpers won''t be able to answer it all. She just talked to Penny the whole day and caught up with her. Even though she doesn''t really know Penny that long, she still appreciates her because she''s the only one who helped her before when she had her miscarriage. Lilian''s thought brought her to what the helper said earlier. Will she even go to the tree houseter? Well, she doesn''t have the mood to go thereter. Maybe it''s better if she''s going to just ditch him. That''s the right thing to do. And she won''t even care¡­ 32. The Pouring Rain 32. The Pouring Rain CHAPTER 32: The Pouring Rain "THIS IS FUCKING corny," Calyx said as he looked at the red balloons scattered on the floor of the tree house before throwing Alpha Karius his disgusting expression. Goodness. He never knew that a time woulde that he would be doing this right now. He''s known for being the strongest warrior next to the Alpha and here he is... fixing these red and shiny balloons while Alpha Karius is ring at him. Alpha Karius just shook his head. "Can you just do your work quickly? Just blow the fucking balloons and put it there. I swear, if those would pop, I will fucking castrate you," he said with his most threatening tone as he pointed the balloons on the newly painted walls of the tree house. He has been preserving the tree house for a long time now. He painted the walls and changed the wood to a stronger one to make sure that it''s in very good condition. He also changed the roof to a new one and extended it and ced a small table where he put the picture frame with his picture with Lilian at the top of it. He changed the windows into ss, making them view the beauty of nature in front of them. He had been cleaning the tree house regrly, making sure that the things in here are still good to use. He wanted to show these all to Lilian. He did these all for her. This ce is so close to his heart because this was their meeting ce before, the only ce that witnessed their love for each other. "Why do you even need to do this on your birthday? You can just celebrate it with the pups again like what you did thest time," Calyx replied as he followed what Alpha Karius instructed him to do. He blows the balloons and uses it as a design at the edges of the wall while Alpha Karius is busy on the lights. Today is Alpha Karius'' birthday and like what Calyx said, he celebrated it with the pups before since Lilian is still not with him before because they thought that she''s already dead. He wanted to celebrate his special day now with Lilian. His wish on his previous birthday came true. He wished that Lilian woulde back to him and the Goddess must''ve heard all his prayer because he granted it now. But he somehow couldn''t help but to feel sad knowing that Lilian had forgotten about his special day. She''s been avoiding him for days now and it hurts him everytime she would just talk to her coldly. When will the warm Liliane back to him? He sighed. "Have you informed one of the helpers in the mansion to ry my message to my Luna?" Alpha Karius asked, suddenly remembering about it. "Yeah. But you know... I''m just worrying about something, Alpha Karius." "What is it?" Alpha Karius'' brows furrowed in confusion. Calyx sighed heavily. "Nevermind. Let''s just continue designing your very own tree house." He slightly shook his head and continued what he''s doing. Calyx brushed away the idea in his mind. He''s really having a bad feeling about this but he chose to just ignore it since Alpha Karius seemed to enjoy his day. There''s a small smirk on his lips as they both decorated the tree house which they are not really used to doing ever since before. Alpha Karius really made an effort to make these all things possible. Calyx actually suggested to Alpha Karius to just call some wolves to do the decorations here instead but he did it all personally with him since he doesn''t want anyone that would just step inside here. This tree house is really a sacred ce for him. He doesn''t want anyone to enter this ce just like that but of course, Calyx is an exemption. Even if he doesn''t want to say it in front of Alpha Karius, Calyx is really worried that Lilian might not negatively about it. "What about the food, Calyx? The pastry shop where I ordered the cake? Is it all fine now?" Alpha Karius asked Calyx worriedly. "It''s all fine now. I will go thereter to get the cake." Alpha Karius just nodded his head, feeling thankful that Calyx is here with him right now. On his previous birthday, he chose to celebrate it with the pups when the school was still newly built at that time. And since Lilian is here now, he wanted to celebrate his birthday with her. He wanted to make everything perfect this time. Momentster, Calyx and Alpha Karius were done decorating the whole tree house. Alpha Karius smiled, feeling satisfied with the oue of what they did. For a first timer, the decoration that they did was nice. "Aren''t you going to eat your lunch first?" Calyx asked him. "C''mon, Alpha. Let''s get out here for a bit. I''m starving." Alpha Karius shook his head. "I''m not yet hungry. You can go if you want and besides, I can''t leave the ce. The balloons might pop and no one would be able to see to change it if I leave." Calyx brows furrowed. "Fine. If that''s what you want, Alpha." Alpha Karius just nodded as a reply and watched as Calyx left him. When he came back, he gave him his food to eat his lunch there and he thanked him for that before putting the food forter in his mini refrigerator. "You should go, Calyx. Check on my Lunater if she''s already on her way here," hemanded Calyx. "Okay," Calyx answered as he left Alpha Karius. *** AFTER CALYX BROUGHT lunch for Alpha Karius, he ate a bit first and didn''t really leave the tree house. Alpha Karius asked Calyx to look at the tree house first before he fixed himself a bit to look presentable. He has extra clothes in the tree house so he doesn''t need to leave anymore. "What do you think about this?" Alpha Karius showed his outfit in front of Calyx. "That''s... fine, I guess." Calyx shrugged his shoulders boredly. Alpha Karius is wearing a light blue formal long sleeve shirt. It fits him perfectly as he folded it up to his elbow exposing his veiny arms. He''s also wearing cks and shiny ck shoes thatplemented his long sleeve shirt. He waxed his hair and sprayed himself his manly perfume as he smirked in front of the mirror nervously. He never doubted his looks but at this moment, Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to feel tense knowing that he will meet Lilianter. He just hopes that Lilian will like how he looks right now. "So... I should go now, right?" Calyx said after a couple of minutes. They didn''t notice the time anymore. The sun is already setting and momentster, Lilian will be here to celebrate his birthday with Alpha Karius. Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to feel excited and giddy. He''s hoping that everything will turn out well "Yeah. Thank you for your help on this, Calyx," Alpha Karius said sincerely to him as he tapped his shoulder lightly. Of course, this won''t all be possible without him. Calyx was the one who fixed the electricity here so the lights that the Alpha Karius put around the tree house are working. "No problem, Alpha." Calyx shrugged his shoulders. "I gotta go now." Alpha Karius just nodded his head. Meanwhile, Calyx already informed the helper in the mansion to fetch Lilian to go to the meeting ce. So, he''s now free to rest for this day since his work is done. As soon as Calyx entered his house, he sat on his sofa and sighed deeply with his thought that Alpha Karius is indeed willing to do everything for his mate, even the corniest thing. He doesn''t see him as being like that. He hasn''t found his mate yet so he''s not sure if he will be like that in the future too. Momentster, the cold breeze of the air entered from the windows of his house. His brows furrowed. It looks like it would rain, too. He shrugged his shoulders and decided to close the windows. Maybe Alpha Karius is already enjoying his time with his Luna at this moment. He''s happy for him and just shrugged off the negative idea in his mind. He shouldn''t think negatively about Lilian from now on since he''s now their new and real Luna. Alpha Karius already imed and marked her. On the other hand, Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to feel anxious when the rain suddenly started to pour as he paced back and forth. Time passes by quickly. He didn''t notice the time anymore, getting worried because of the rain that suddenly poured. "Where is she now?" He asked, talking to himself when the rain started pouring hard as the wind blew the balloons that he decorated. He couldn''t help but to feel worried about Lilian. If ever Lilian is on her N?velDrama.Org (C) content. way here now, he''s probably stuck now somewhere! The pouring rain is so heavy and the strong breeze of the wind is getting more dangerous since he could see how the trees moved harshly from the ss window. "Fuck!" He cursed when he remembered the lights he surrounded the tree trunks earlier. He decided to go down to just remove it, not noticing that he''s already wet and drenched from the rain. He removed it even though it''s against his will. While doing all the work, his thoughts are just on Lilian and how she is now. But on the other side of his brain, it was telling him that Lilian just ditched him but his heart refused to believe it. He never knew that his birthday would be really this sad because Lilian didn''te to see him on his special day. He stood there waiting for her to meet him under the pouring rain. 33. The Throbbing Pain 33. The Throbbing Pain CHAPTER 33: The Throbbing Pain "L-LUNA, AREN''T you going out? You need to see Alpha Karius right now, Calyx told me about it earlier..." Lilian red at the helper who came to her while she''s sitting on the sofa boredly. This is the second time that the helper came to her and it honestly irritated her a bit since she just kept on saying the same thing. The helper wants Lilian to go to the tree house even though it''s really against his will. "How many times do I have to tell you that I have no ns going there?" Lilian said sharply to the helper as she rolled her eyes. Heck, she will not go back to that ce again. The tree house served as their meeting ce before and going back on that ce will just make her remember her ugly and painful past. That is the ce where he lost her own little pup... and that is the ce where Alpha Karius chose to end between the both of them. It is where it ended everything. Her heart died in that ce, too. "I-I''m sorry, Luna,", the helper said as she bowed her head a bit, afraid of meeting Lilian''s eyes. The helper couldn''t help but to feel nervous. Calyx informed her earlier to make the Luna go to the tree house. But it seems like she can''t do that anymore since the Luna made herself clear that she wouldn''t go there. She couldn''t help but to wonder. Lilian didn''t respond anymore and just leaned back on the sofa again. After roaming around the garden earlier and talking to Penny a bit, she suddenly felt tired as her neck ached, probably because of her mark. She keeps on ignoring it the past few days but the mark on her neck keeps on aching and she''s having a hunch that maybe because she hasn''t given her mark yet to Alpha Karius. Thinking about it made her lips pursed a bit. Well, she doesn''t want to give him her mark. It was already a mistake that she let him mark her so she doesn''t need to repeat another mistake again. Lilian once read before in old books that it''s fine not giving her mark to her mate anyway. So, she opted to not give it to Alpha Karius since it won''t affect her. But she already forgot the other details since it had been a long time since she read about the book on the mating process of the wolves. She didn''t pay that much attention to it anymore since it wasn''t that important to her at that time. But, why is her neck aching now? Is it just a normal stiff neck or what? But it''s not healing. Is it something else? Lilian shook her head a bit before she rested her back on the sofa again, not noticing that she already felt asleep. *** "SHOULD WE WAKE her up?" one of the helpers asked Nadia when they saw Lilian peacefully sleeping on the sofa. Nadia sighed heavily. Maybe their Luna was tired of roaming around the garden earlier that she didn''t notice that she already fell asleep and forgot about going to the tree house where Alpha Karius asked her to go. "We should not. It looks like she''s tired from earlier," Nadia answered. And besides, they are both scared to wake Lilian up since they might get scolded. Nadia saw how she rolled her eyes on the poor helper earlier. So, might as well leave her be on what she wants to do. Maybe Alpha Karius could understand if she won''t be able to go. After being mean to them the past few days, Nadia didn''t really make a big deal about it. She deserved Lilian''s bitchy side to her, after all. It''s because of what she did in the past. And she''s really regretting it up until now. "B-But it''s our Alpha''s birthday. He''s waiting for her now..." the helper said sadly. Worry is now written to her face. Nadia didn''t answer the helper anymore and looked at her. "Let''s just continue cleaning the kitchen," she said coldly to the helper before she left her. Meanwhile, the helper couldn''t help but to feel sad for Alpha Karius when the rain suddenly started to pour harshly. She suddenly felt worried about their Alpha. She just hopes that he''s safe at this moment. She couldn''t help but to feel mad at their Luna... knowing that she ditched him on his very special day. But no matter what she feels, it won''t even matter because she''s just a helper in the house. *** LILIAN WOKE UP because of the coldness of the wind that kissed her skin. It slowly drew to her that it''s raining harshly outside. The curtains on the ss windows are dancing with the wind. There''s no electricity, probably because of the strong wind but it''s a good thing that she could still see clearly in the darkness because of her wolf. Her brows furrowed when she saw that the helpers and Nadia were shouting near the entrance of the mansion. Curiously, Lilian stood up to go in their direction to ask what''s happening. Why are they even there at this moment if it''s this cold and raining so hard? They should be resting now. "What''s the matter?" she asked with her hoarse voice. She probably overslept since it was already dark outside and she''s guessing that it''s probably nine or ten in the evening already. "L-Luna!" they said in unison as they gasped. The helpers together with Nadia looked at her with their widening eyes. Their expression is telling her that they are about to cry. Her brows knitted even more, still clueless. "A-Alpha Karius is still not here, Luna. It''s alreadyte but he hadn''te home yet. The rain and wind is getting harsher! We just hope that he''s fine." Nadia was the one who answered it with her worried tone. Her both hands are sped together like she''s praying to the goddess for the safety of Alpha Karius. Lilian was shocked a bit on what she heard as her brows furrowed. He''s not yet here? She looked outside and the rain and wind was really harsh and thinking that maybe... he''s still in the tree house sent a pang of worry in her chest even if she doesn''t want to. Did he wait for her to go there? Goodness! He should know that she''s not going there anymore! What''s gotten into him?! She clenched her jaw at her own thought. If he''s still not here, then what is it to her now? She should not care! She should not take it as a big deal! He would do anything that he wants for all she cares! Sighing, Lilian was about to turn her back when she saw a tall figure getting drench with the rainwater going in their direction. It was Calyx. It looks like he did his best to go here quickly and didn''t budge with the coldness of the rain anymore. "Beta Calyx!" "Calyx, we''re very sorry for disturbing you at this moment but we''re getting worried for the Alpha..." Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Nadia said worriedly as she held Calyx''s hand, not minding how wet he was. Calyx''s gaze suddenly went to Lilian''s direction making her suddenly shiver. He clenched his jaw as he suddenly red at her, making the helpers also shocked. It looks like he was threatening her through his stares. "You didn''t fucking go to that damn tree house?" he asked with a hint of sharpness in his tone. Lilian was moved by his tone that he stepped back a bit but she didn''t show it that much and remained "Why would I even go to that ce--" "Fuck it! If something bad happened to Alpha Karius... I swear, I''ll fucking kill you." "Beta Calyx! She''s still our Luna!" one of the helpers shouted like she didn''t like how he threatened Lilian. It was a sign of disrespecting their Luna but he didn''t mind it anymore. All he cares at this moment is Alpha Karius who''s still in the tree house. And based on the harshness of the wind and rain now, there''s a possibility that the tree house is not on its good shape already. Lilian just held her chin up and met his mad expression darted to her, not nning to back down. He was the one who first tore up their gazes and turned around before going to look for Alpha Karius. Lilian looked outside again, suddenly feeling guilty about ditching Alpha Karius as time passed by. It was the longest minutes of her life. She was ying with her own hands as she stared at the big bate of the mansion. She doesn''t know anymore what''s suddenly gotten into her, that there''s a part of her that''s waiting for Alpha Karius... to see him safe going back here. They all straightened their backs when they saw two tall familiar figures going to them. "Tss! I was fine there! You could''ve just let me!" "Everyone is fucking worried about you! Of course, I''ll go find you in your tree house! What a great day to celebrate your damn birthday!" The two men were bickering as they approached the entrance of the mansion. The helpers are already holding towels to give to them. Nadia went to Calyx to give the other towel while the other helper went to Alpha Karius. Lilian was stoned in her direction when she saw Alpha Karius. It was his... birthday. And she forgot about it. She suddenly felt the lump forming in her throat when her gaze met with Alpha Karius. His expression hardened and clenched his jaw as he took the towel from the helper. Lilian wanted to say a word but she just couldn''t find the right words to say as she bit her lower lip. She tried to open her mouth and decided to just go to him but before she could even do it, he already walked beside her like he didn''t feel her presence at all... like a damn invisible statue. Lilian''s heart throbbed in pain on what he did. Alpha Karius just ignored her... and it hurts. 34. The Birthday 34. The Birthday CHAPTER 34: The Birthday GUILT CREPT into Lilian''s system as she watched every helper in the mansion attend to Alpha Karius and Calyx''s needs. "Alpha Karius, Beta Calyx, do you want coffee? Or tea?" Nadia asked them. "Don''t bother, Nadia. I''ll go back to my house now." Calyx was the one who answered it and smiled a bit at Nadia. As soon as his eyes darted to Lilian, he clenched his jaw. He opened his mouth like he C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org wanted to say something again but his gaze went to Alpha Karius who''s still busy drying himself with the towel. Calyx sighed heavily. "What? But it''s still cold outside. You can just stay here for the night. That would be fine with Alpha Karius, right?" Nadia looked at Alpha Karius. Thetter just nodded a bit, not bothering to look at Lilian. "No, it''s fine. I could just go home. The rain has already stopped pouring so it''s already safe to go outside. And besides, I don''t think I could still stand staying in a house where I could see someone so inconsiderate..." Calyx said meaningfully as he nced at Lilian while raising a brow. "Calyx." Alpha Karius suddenly called his name like he was warning him, making him sighed and nodded his head a bit. Lilian pursed her lips, wanting to say something but the lump in her throat wouldn''t let her speak. She couldn''t form the right words to say when she saw the coldness of Alpha Karius'' eyes. She looked down, suddenly feeling ashamed to face them all as she gritted her teeth. She should not act like this! She should feel proud of herself because she finally hurt his feelings this time. It''s still not enough. What she felt before is far more worse than what he''s feeling right now. "Tss. I''ll go now, Alpha Karius. Nadia..." Calyx nodded his head a bit before he finally headed towards the entrance of the mansion and left. It took a couple of seconds before Alpha Karius spoke again. "Nadia... you can all rest now. I''m already fine here." He ordered the helpers. "A-Are you sure, Alpha? You don''t need anything?" Nadia asked with a hint of hesitation in her tone. Alpha Karius nodded. "Yeah." "O-Okay." Nadia looked at the other helpers and gestured to them to go back to the maid''s quarter where they are staying. Alpha Karius was left with Lilian who''s still not moving on her position. It was like her feet were already rooted to where she''s standing and she couldn''t move anymore! Damn. What''s happening to her now? "What are you still doing here, Lilian? You should go to your room now. It''s gettingte..." he said as he started walking towards the kitchen area. Lilian gulped a bit when she saw his slightly wet back. Did she mention that he''s topless? The fine cracks on his back made her feel suddenly hot. "Uh..." Lilian doesn''t really know what to say but she found herself following Alpha Karius and reached the kitchen area. She found him getting a ss of water from the fridge before he sat at the stool on the counter. Lilian''s hand balled into fist when she realized that she looked like an idiot following and staring at him but he''s not even throwing her a nce! It was frustrating as hell but she calmed herself and sat on the other stool beside him. "I said go to your room, Lilian..." he said again as he gulped at the water on the ss. Lilian raised a brow. "Stopmanding me what to do." "I''m not." He sighed. They fell into deep silence again. Both of them don''t really know what to say. The electricity already came back a while ago so the only thing that could be heard is the sound of the air conditioner. Lilian cleared her throat, finally deciding to break the silence between them. "Why did you wait for me to go there?" she asked, not looking at him. Her eyes remained on her own hands. There''s no hint of expression in her eyes. "Don''t mind it. I didn''t wait that long." He chuckled but it didn''t reach his eyes. "And I want to say... sorry." Lilian couldn''t help but to straighten her back and looked at him this time. Sorry? He''s saying sorry to her? Why? She''s the one who made him wait for a couple of hours and yet he''s now the one who''s saying sorry. "W-What for?" Lilian tried to mask the confusion in her eyes. He smiled, a sad one. "I had no time to ponder what I did but I suddenly realized awhile ago when I saw you that it was really insensitive of me to make you go there. That tree house... it was our meeting ce before. It was the sole witness of how we professed our love for each other but then... it was also the ce where I hurt you the most." He looked down as if he was too ashamed to even meet Lilian''s gaze. Lilian didn''t dare to talk as she felt the lump forming in her throat. The ache in her heart couldn''t be denied anymore as he said those words. It was just a simple apology but it felt like the border that she built to protect herself from pain is now slowly crumbling down. "I''m sorry, Lilian. I know our meeting ce is now tainted with... ugly memories. Bringing you there was such a bad move." He chuckled but it didn''t reach his eyes. "Before this day ends, can you fulfill my birthday wish instead?" His tone was so hopeful as the sad smile on his lips was never erased while looking at Lilian. His other hand lifted and suddenly fixed Lilian''s hair and put it behind her ear, it made her hot. She didn''t know what''s gotten into her anymore that she didn''t even budge to his sudden move... like she''s really used to what he did. Her wolf could really recognize him. "What is it?" Her brows furrowed as she looked at his eyes. "Can you greet your Alpha a happy birthday?" Her eyes widened a bit. What the hell? That''s his wish? Lilian couldn''t help but to be shocked by what he said. The other part of her brain was actually telling her that his wish is really hard to fulfill but she was wrong! He just wanted a birthday greeting from her! "Don''t make meugh, Alpha Karius," she said with her serious tone. "Who said I''m trying to make youugh? I''m serious here, My Luna. If you''re going to greet me, I''ll forget how you ditched me on my own birthday and made me wait for nothing." She gritted her teeth. She hated the fact that he''s using those words against her! She''s slowly eaten by her own guilt again! Lilian let out a deep sigh as she red at Alpha Karius. "Fine! Happy birthday, Alpha Karius..." 35. The Reward 35. The Reward CHAPTER 35: The Reward LILIAN DOESN''T KNOW what''s gotten to her anymore the moment she reaches her own room. Her heart is beating so fast like she had gone to a long marathon. She even held it as if it was enough to make it calm. Gritting her teeth, Lilian sighed deeply with her eyes closed. Herees the feelings that she doesn''t want to feel again. She just greeted Alpha Karius a very simple happy birthday and yet her heart wouldn''t just calm down! And the butterfly demons in her stomach were like celebrating what she''s feeling right now. The softness of his eyes earlier that met hers was just so damn alluring, it was full of emotion as if he''s saying sweet things. And at that mere thought, she could feel that her insides were starting to heat up. She couldn''t help it as the mark on her neck suddenly became itchy. It aches ufortably and she can''t just control it. Now, she''s doomed. She''s in heat again. "No, this is not happening again..." she whispered to herself and went straight to her bathroom, rubbing the crook of her neck where her mark is as if it''s the only way to ease what she''s feeling. She looked at her own reflection and sighed the moment her gaze went to the mark on her neck. The mark is pulsating and slightly lighting up, making her feel ufortable. "What the fuck is happening to me?" she asked, couldn''t help but to curse, talking to her own reflection. Her face is blushing hard because of the heat that she''s feeling, but it makes her face more glowing. Added the fact that her mark is lighting a bit, it just emphasized the beauty of her face. She licked her lip when she felt her pussy suddenly throb when Alpha Karius'' handsome face appeared in her mind.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Damn. Lilian decided to just take a quick cold shower. She let the cold water cascaded down her body that''s still on fire. The weather is already cold but it seems like the coldness of the water is still not enough to wipe the heat that she''s feeling right now. She was struggling to wear her robe when she''s done showering because of the ache on her neck. Clumsily, she doesn''t know what''s really happening to her own body anymore and just went out of her own room. She wasn''t able to wipe the water cascading down her body from her hair anymore since the pain on her neck is just getting worse as seconds passed by. Without thinking, she found herself knocking in front of Alpha Karius'' room. He immediately opened it. "Lilian?" He asked with his brows furrowed as his gaze scanned her body. He clenched his jaw. That moment, Alpha Karius already knows that she''s in heat again. He could see how the mark on her neck pulsated as her other hand went up to cup it. Alpha Karius could feel the heat that''s being released by her own body just by only staring at her. Alpha Karius suppresses his canines toe out when her sweet scent invades his nostrils. It was enough to take him to high heavens that he even closed his eyes. His wolf seems to be happy again seeing her. But he can''t just jump onto her and do what the fuck everything that he wants. Because he''s so damn sure that she wouldn''t even like it. The past few days, Lilian has been really aloof at him. And he couldn''t really me her for that. But he''s giving all his efforts to make up with the things that he did in the past. He won''t stop until she forgives him. "H-Help..." she almost whispered as she let her body lean to his chest. Lilian wanted so badly to p herself. She never knew that she would ask for help from him! And she could be this weak! She already nted in her mind that she is not going to show her weak side anymore but her situation right now is really hard. Her mark just keeps on aching! Goodness! Her situation is not helping at all. Worry washed over on Alpha Karius'' face. Even though he''s still sad about what she did to his very special day, he couldn''t deny the fact that he''s worrying about her. He''s still his Luna and mate... other than that, he loves her so much so he doesn''t want her to be in pain. "Fuck." Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to utter a crisp curse as soon as they already both entered his room. He let out a deep sigh when her robe went down a bit, revealing the valley of her breast. He fixed it with his trembling hands as he helped her sit down on his wide bed. He suddenly realized that the mark on her neck is making her feel this way. That''s the first sign. The pain on the neck and constantly craving for... sex, reason for her to feel the heat right now. He closed the door before ncing at her again. She''s now breathing hard as her own sweat and water trickled down her pretty face, neck, corbone and to her... breast. Her hair is wet from her cold shower earlier and she wasn''t able to wipe it properly. The small beads of water are wetting her robe, making him see the curves of her body. Alpha Karius'' cock twitch at that sight. Oh, damn. It seems like his wolf is also craving for his mate''s heat. "You know damn well that I have a very low self control when ites to you, love..." he said darkly that almost came out as a whisper as he tried to control his own body to react just by only staring at her. She''s just sitting there, not doing anything at all but it''s already hard! He wants his buddy down there to calm down but it seems like it''s already a bit impossible now, knowing that the woman in front of him is really effortlessly hot and sexy. She looked up. It was obvious that she''s having a hard time because of the pain on her neck but she still has the guts to smirk at him. "Who says you need to control yourself? No one''s stopping you here," she replied darkly with a hint of yfulness in her tone. He clenched his jaw again as he looked up, his tongue poke his inner cheek before ncing back at her again. Now, he could feel the heat that''s slowly awakening his body. "You only need me when you''re in heat. I don''t want our rtionship to be just... physical. I want more than that," he whispered and smirked bitterly. Alpha Karius doesn''t know anymore how he says those words to her. He tried so hard to not back down when her stares became cold, the smirk on her lips was erased instantly at his words. "But I''m your mate. You''re the only one who could ease the heat I''m feeling," she answered as a matter of fact, suddenly feeling the irritation in her system now. How dare he ask for something more than being physical to each other when that''s the only thing that she could give to him! It would be too hard for her if she will put her heart at stake again. "I don''t want us to be more than that. That''s all I could offer to you. If you don''t want to ease the heat on my body right now, then I could just find someone else that can do that for me--" "Don''t you fucking dare do that," he spat suddenly turning mad. No, he couldn''t ept that. He''s territorial on everything or everyone he owns, and that includes Lilian. His Alpha aura rolled off him but Lilian didn''t back down. Despite the ache and the heat she''s feeling, Lilian stood up meeting his dark gaze. "And don''t you interrupt me when I''m still talking! Now, it seems like you wouldn''t like to give in to what I want, then so be it!" she told him with her slightly threatening tone. It''s time for her to control and manipte him... now that she got the upper hand. If fucking him is the best way to make him do what she wants then she will do it, even though it''s still a mistake. She doesn''t want to involve herself with him anymore and just wants to take revenge on him after everything that he did to her but this is the only way to get him wrapped around her fingers. "I-I... uh, I''m sorry," he suddenly said, his eyes suddenly softened making her smirk. She couldn''t help but to lift her hand and caressed his stubbled jaw feeling the roughness of it, and smiled innocently at him. The ruthless alpha is this soft when ites to her. How pathetic. "Oh, what a good boy you are. Because of that, you have a reward from me..." she said yfully and suddenly pushed him to the bed and straddled him. She could feel how his cock hardened the moment her pussy rubbed on his front. "What reward?" he asked huskily as he licked his lower lip, watching her slowly remove her robe revealing her breast. Lust danced in his eyes the moment she exposed her body in front of him. Lilian bent down to whisper in his ear. "Probably a good fuck or... my mark. You choose." Alpha Karius'' breathings became rugged. He smirked when he realized something. His wolf is anticipating her next moves. "Nevermind. I''ll give both to you if you''re going to be a good boy," she added and nted a soft kiss on the side of his neck where she could put her markter on. 36. The Good Boy 36. The Good Boy CHAPTER 36: The Good Boy "DAMN IT," LILIAN whispered as Alpha Karius tried to move his hips underneath her and rubbed it to her pussy, it made her wetter. "You fucking stay there and don''t move. I didn''t tell you to do that," she added with full authority in her tone as she slightly red at him. Her voice was firm and strong, and it was enough to make Alpha Karius stop on what he was doing instantly. Even though it really feels good, she wanted him to know that she''s the one that he should follow here. She will take control this time. She smirked, knowing how powerful her words could be when ites to him, he obeyed her instantly without second thoughts. Meanwhile, instead of being disappointed and pissed, Alpha Karius found himself smirking at how Lilian suddenly took control. She looked really hot straddling him right now that his cock is aching and dying toe out from the tightness of his sweatpants, like a beast that is slowly being unleashed by a goddess. "We will stop this if you won''t follow what I want," she said, threatening him. She slightly pushed his broad shoulders on the bed, making him stay still. "Now, I don''t want you calling me by my name or my Luna or what the fuck endearments that you want to call me. I want you to call me Ma''am this time. You understand?" She lifted his chin up with her finger and met his dark gaze. "Yes, Ma''am," he answered with his deep husky voice. This is the first time that Lilian will take charge while they are in bed. And for him, it was honestly sexy and just heightened the desire that he''s feeling right now. Lilian looked ten times hotter in front of him. "Suck it." She smirked and inserted her thumb inside his mouth, feeling the wetness of it. And like a good boy, he obeyed what she wanted and sucked her thumb, running his tongue on it. Lilian sexily licked her lips at the sight of Alpha Karius sucking her thumb, like it was her hardened peaks he''s sucking. Hus tongue would run sensually on her thumb, making her gasped on the tingling sensation that she felt on her own core. Her panty is now soaked with her own wetness, making her also look at his eyes with desire. "Stay where you are," she whispered as she leaned back a bit, making him have a better view of her wet and glistening pussy. She smirked at him once again and lifted her other hand and yed with her pussy just in front of him while her other hand got support from his leg. "Fuck, let me have a taste, please," Alpha Karius said as if he''s having a hard time. He''s restraining himself to not flip her over and be on top of her instead. He clenched his jaw, thinking how helpless his situation is right now. He badly wanted to touch her too and run his tongue on her goddess-like body, too! He wanted to feel every bit of her skin but she wouldn''t let him! And since she just said that he would stay where he is, then he will dly obliged just to please her. Heck, he won''t hesitate to follow everything that she wants him to do. That''s how whipped he is when ites to her. "Just watch. You don''t need to do anything," she answered as her breathingbored and opened the cheeks of her pussy, rubbing her throbbing cl*t in a circr motion. She''s sure as hell that Alpha Karius is almost losing the tiniest thread of his patience right now. But of course, she will not let him take over for now. She will watch how he lost his own cool and sanity just by only watching her. "Please." "No. And what did I tell you to call me, hmm?" Lilian whispered naughtily again and looked at him with her threatening look. "Should I continue what I''m doing? Or should I just... stop?" He gulped. "I''m sorry... Ma''am. Please continue." "Very good. But I do not want you telling me what to do. Just rx and watch me first." He nodded like an obedient kid. His Adam''s apple moved a bit and let out a deep sigh as his eyes stared at her body again. He badly want to suck her soft and pinkish nipples, running his tongue on it until it''s swollen but he stopped himself by sighing deeply again while clenching his jaw. It was a damn torture watching Lilian to pleasure herself when he can even do it for her! Lilian continued ying with her pussy again, rubbing it this time creating an erotic sound because of her own wetness. She rubbed herself while still straddling his hard pack abs, slightly rubbing on it. Her juices trickled down to his abs as she makes her moves faster on her cl*t. The pleasure just heightened with the thought of Alpha Karius just watching her without doing anything. "Ohh... ah, damn," she moaned and bit her lower lip as her head fell back in pleasure. She could feel his hardened cock against her butt cheek. She teasingly moved her butt a bit. Her wolf just whimpered in pleasure on what she''s doing like it''s please, so she continued moving while her hand was still on her core. "M-Ma''am, please..." he whispered as his breathings became heavier and faster. Their hearts are both thumping so fast because of the excitement and desire that they are feeling. Lilian just gave him a nce and smirked a bit as her mouth hangs open because of so much pleasure. "Ahm... ah! Ah!" she almost shouted when she inserted her middle finger inside her dripping core. She pumped her finger continuously inside of her and looked at Alpha Karius again and suddenly flinched when she saw how his eyes turned gold and his canines were now elongated. Instead of being scared, she just continues what she''s doing. It seems like his wolf is also pleased with what it''s seeing. "Damn that wet and pinkish pussy, I wanna eat it so bad." Lilian heard Alpha Karius whisper but she was able to hear it. She didn''t mind it anymore and just kept on ying with her pussy as the smell of her arousal scattered in the air. Secondster, her legs trembled, a sign that she''s about to cum. Her breathings became even faster while moaning deliriously. "Oh, f-fuck! Suck me!" Lilian mindlessly shouted and Alpha Karius doesn''t need to be told what he needed to do anymore. He pulled Lilian''s hips into his mouth until her pussy was just in front of him. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Like a thirsty mad man, he stick out his tongue and licked her wet bud. Lilian''s moan became louder making him smirk a bit. She even takes her hands on his hair, slightly pulling it as her legs keep on trembling. "Ahh... ah... hmm, yeah! That''s right! Suck me!" The taste of her juices is heaven for Alpha Karius. It was enough to drive him insane! Her juice is like an oasis in the middle of a hot dessert. It''s what he needs at the moment to quench his thirst. "Hmm." Alpha Karius groaned while her pussy was still in his mouth that sent vibration onto her. He drank every bit of her juices and made sure that it would be poured in her mouth. He felt how her hips moved a bit, rubbing her pussy even more onto her face. Some of her cum already sshed on her face messily but he didn''t mind it anymore as he was already too addicted to her taste. The smell of it was very addictive to him, making his wolf celebrate in so much pleasure. His wolf likes her juices so much like the way he likes it. When she''s done, she looked down on her and smirked sexily. "Oh, look at that. I made a mess on your face." She giggled as she caressed his stubbled cheek. "I don''t mind, Ma''am, as long as it''s your cum that would mess up my face." "Very good. Now, give me the best fuck of my life. Fuck me as you please, I''m giving you the permission but in one condition." She caressed his stubbled jaw and smiled yfully at him. "What is it, Ma''am?" His stare at her is still dark, waiting for her answer. She caressed his hair that blocked his forehead and touched his cheek where she messed her cum, wiping it and putting it in his mouth. He sucked her finger like the way he did earlier. "From now on, you''re going to follow what I want like a good boy and I''ll let you do anything to my body." As if hypnotized, Alpha Karius nodded like a puppy in front of her. Lilian just smirked. Now, she can say that she''s now finally wrapped around her fingers for real this time. She will use her own body to her advantage. 37. The Mark of Lilian 37. The Mark of Lilian CHAPTER 37: The Mark of Lilian WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, Alpha Karius removed his shirt and sweatpants, exposing his body like a Greek God and proud manhood. He flipped Lilian over making her underneath him this time. He harshly gripped on her bosom like a mad man while staring at her innocent face as he clenched his jaw. "You''re so damn hot, Ma''am," he couldn''t help but to blurt out. Everything about her is such perfection. He caressed her arms as she stared at her beautiful eyes. And once again, he''s like being hypnotized when she stares at him. "Show me what you got," Lilian whispered at him, trying to equal the intensity of his stares. He''s really handsome and she hates how her own body reacts to him. Her own body is betraying her again, liking the way he touches him. Alpha Karius'' eyes darkened the moment his gaze went down to Lilian''s wet and plump lips. She''s biting it earlier, making it redder and inviting. He didn''t hesitate to lean down and have a taste of it while his other hand was still busy molding her breast, ying with her hardened nipples. Her lips are so sweet, making him want her more. A whimper escaped from Lilian''s mouth as soon as she got a taste of Alpha Karius'' lips. His lips taste like mint, allowing herself to taste him even more. His lips moved slowly at first then secondster, it became aggressive, following the rhythm of how he molded her breast. It was fast, she almost couldn''t follow his rhythm. He was like eating her mouth already! "Hmm." She purred like a cat, opening her mouth to wee his tongue to explore her insides. His This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. tongue battled with hers as it fought with the same intensity. She kissed him back, letting him dominate her mouth this time. Her hands raked on his hair, pulling it, while they continued kissing that created a sound. He even bit her lower lip and licked the sting away. His kisses were fast and she tried to move away a bit to gasp for air but he would only let for a sec before devouring her lips again. Goodness! His moves are so fast! "Let me... hmm.. b-breathe... ahmm.." She couldn''t help but to say it and slightly pulled his hair. And with that, Alpha Karius pulled away from the kiss and looked at her with his concerned eyes. She gasped for air immediately as he even caressed her swollen lips. "Sorry, Ma''am. Did I bite your lips too hard, hmm?" he asked and even though she doesn''t want it, Lilian could feel how her cheeks heated at his simple words. "Not really," she answered and looked away a bit as if it was enough to calm her wolf who''s now enjoying their heated pleasures. She actually likes how fast and rough he is. It just excites her even more but of course, she wouldn''t admit it. "Please, look at me, Ma''am." Alpha Karius gently held her cheek, caressing it lightly and made her look at him. "I could live just by looking at your pretty face forever..." She smirked. "Really? Then, can you live without having sex with me?" "That''s a different story, Ma''am." He smirked and leaned down again, targeting her neck this time, licking it and running his canines on it teasingly before he turned it back to normal. He kissed her mark, sucking it lightly as she gave him more ess to what he''s doing. Her neck really looked sexy with his mark on it, he couldn''t help but to run his tongue multiple times on it. His stubbles are also tickling her skin. "You''re the only woman that could pleasure me like this." "Ahh..." she answered him with a moan as his other hand twisted her nipple. "Oh, fuck..." She could feel how her core throbbed even more as his tongue ran on her soft and delicate skin. Alpha Karius'' lips went down to her corbone, gently biting it as he yed with her nipple. He teasingly rubbed his manhood on Lilian''s core making her whimper. His shaft would slide to her heated core since she''s too wet already as his lips went down to her hardened nipple this time. She unconsciously opened her legs wider for him as he continued rubbing his shaft on her slit. Moments "Ohh..." Lilian pulled Alpha Karius'' hair as his mouth sucked her nipple. He would sometimes release it with a sound while groping her other mountain. She can''t help but to close her eyes a bit, feeling the tingling sensation in her core. Alpha Karius sucked Lilian''s nipples alternately, giving it both an equal attention. While doing it, he couldn''t help but to look at Lilian''s pleased face. Her mouth turned into a big ''O'' as her head fell back in pleasure, biting her lower lip. He smirked at that sight and just sucked her even more. His other hand went south and found her core. He caressed and rubbed her wet slit while still sucking her left nipple as she spread her wetness. He found her sensitive bud and rubbed it in a circr motion, slowly at first until he did it faster. "Ahh... ahhh. Oh, my-- ahh!" Her moans are like music to his ears. He enjoys how she shouted in so much pleasure. "A-Alpha Karius!" He inserted his two fingers abruptly making her gasped, feeling the hotness of her insides. Without further ado, he pumped in and out of her core ruthlessly. He watched how Lilian''s boobs jiggle while he moved his fingers inside her, creating an erotic sound. Lilian slightly opened her eyes and met the darkness of Alpha Karius'' gaze. She clung onto his neck for support as he rammed his fingers inside her as the lone tear escaped from her left eye because of so much pleasure. Oh, goodness! This is too much for her! "Ohhh... my! Y-Yes-- ah! Ah! Ahh..." The room was filled with Lilian''s moans and Alpha Karius'' heavy breathings. When she felt like she''s about to cum again, she looked at him darkly this time. "I-I''m... ah! I''m c-cumming! Oh, fuck!" Her other hand gripped theforter as he stared at him darkly, clenching his jaw and biting his lower lips. When her cum is aboute out, he suddenly withdraw his finger, making her re at him and was ready to curse him to death. "What the fuck-- ah!" She wasn''t able to continue what she''s about to say anymore because he suddenly slid his cock inside her wet core. His huge dick stretched her pussy to the point that she felt a slight pain, making her close her eyes again. Alpha Karius looked at Lilian with a smirk on his lips before he put her both legs on his shoulders, kneeling in front of her, watching how his dick smoothly glided inside her wet slit. Damn. It was heaven. His dick is just so perfect to her pussy. He didn''t make it any longer anymore and began thrusting inside her fast and ruthless. There''s no gentleness in his thrust as he gripped her legs on his shoulders. His other hand went to her cl*t and rubbed it while ramming his cock inside her so fast. "O-Ohhh... oh, yes! Ahhh! Ahh!" Lilian could feel his veiny cock inside her. It even hit her most delicious spot making her cry, reaching the high heavens. He kept on thrusting inside her until her slit was now swollen and had turned red because of his huge cock. The bed is already creaking because of his ruthless moves. She gave him the permission so he''s going to take advantage of it. He would fuck her the way he please! Her warm juices coated his cock making him smirked a bit. He flipped her over this time, making her fall in all fours. He harshly pulled her both hands and hair as he continued thrusting inside her. He''s like a beast that is hard to tame while fucking her from behind. "S-Shit! Ah! Oh my... ahh!" They tried different positions as Lilian just screamed in so much pleasure. Now, they went back to their first position earlier. He made her sit on his cock this time, riding him like a cowgirl as she held her both boobs that were bouncing because of her moves. When she felt like she''s about to cum again for the ninth time, she leaned down at the side of his neck and breathed heavily as she inhaled his manly scent. Alpha Karius continues thrusting inside her and when he''s already groaning, her canines suddenly went out unconsciously. Lilian couldn''t think properly anymore as she was already too intoxicated with his scent. She bit the side of his neck, making him groan even more. As soon as her canines buried on his skin, his cum bursted out in her core, making her feel the hotness of it. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to smile and lifted his hand to caress Lilian''s hair as she bit his neck. Finally... she''s giving him her mark. 38. The Taste of Her Revenge 38. The Taste of Her Revenge CHAPTER 38: The Taste of Her Revenge AS SOON AS LILIAN opened her eyes, the smell of an English breakfast attacked her nostrils. She looked at the surroundings and realized that she''s not in her usual room. All the things inside the room where she''s in screams masculinity. The walls and things are painted mostly brown, white and ck. And then she realized that she''s in Alpha Karius'' room. Yeah, she slept inside his room after what they didst night. "Hey." She looked up at Alpha Karius who''s holding a tray and put it on a side table. Her brows furrowed. She suddenly salivate at the sight of fried eggs, sausages, ck bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms and fried bread on the te. There''s also orange juice at the other side of the tray. It suddenly made her stomach grumble making him chuckle a bit. Alpha Karius thought that Lilian was so adorable. "Good morning, Ma''am." He greeted her. Alpha Karius smirked when he saw how pretty she was in the morning. Her hair is disheveled a bit and her chinky eyes and natural red lips make him suddenly hard. She''s still naked and just making theforter wrapped on her body to cover her tender bosoms. Alpha Karius clenched his jaw when he saw some red marks around her neck down to her cleavage. She looks wearing his marks. Since she''s an Omega, the mark is really slow to heal. She''s effortlessly sexy, making him suddenly want to take her again. But he shrugged away those green thoughts in his head since he knew how tired she was fromst night. He really took her hard and rough multiple times. He''s sure as hell that she''s still sore even though she''s ring a bit at him now. "You can stop calling me that, you know..." she said with her hoarse voice as she rolled her eyes at him. Of course, she wanted to be called ''Ma''am'' only in bed. She doesn''t even know what''s gotten into her why she suddenly wanted to be called that wayst night. But, well, it made her superior and she found out that she really has the power over him since he''s willing to do everything that she wants, even the simple things. He chuckled again. "I suddenly like to call you Ma''am. You''re my Ma''am." "Whatever." She cleared her throat and the best that she could do right now is to act like she''s mad or something since his body is also distracting her. He''s topless and only wearing his sweatpants. She already saw his fine and toned bodyst night but she still couldn''t help but to feel amazed. The fine cracks on his stomach suddenly made her think that it''s better to lick that than to eat the English breakfast in front of her! Oh, goodness! She must be insane for thinking that way! Instead of showing that she''s a bit affected by his body, she still acted normal in front of him. He just smiled at her. "You can eat your breakfast now to regain your energy. Sorry, I was too roughst night," he said as he ced the tray in front of her and his other hand went to her hair and fixed it for her to eat properly. Lilian gulped at his sudden move. The way his calloused palm went to the side of her neck to fix her hair made her think what they didst night, on how he gripped her hair harshly and pulled her both hands to her back while thrusting hard and fast behind her-- shit! Her mind is really corrupted when it "Did you hear meining about it?" Instead of having shbacks on what they didst night, her brow arched a bit like she''s showing her bitchy side to him. But what Lilian didn''t know is that her sarcastic tone is just turning Alpha Karius even more. He likes her this way. The way she rolled her eyes or arched her brow at him is just making him take her again. He remembered how her eyes rolled back in pleasure while he pleasured her! "I was just worried." "Well... I don''t need your worry. I can handle myself," she told him as she started eating her breakfast. She really felt tired from what they didst night. She could still feel how her toes trembled multiple times, how she screamed loudly and how she clung onto him tightly for support. That thought alone suddenly made her blush but she tried to conceal it by focusing on eating the food in front of her. "You... already gave me your mark," he suddenly said, making Lilian stop from eating. She looked at him seriously this time and put down the spoon and fork. "So what? You don''t like it?" She tried sounding like it''s not a big deal at all. Well, it''s part of her n. To make him follow what she wants like a damn good boy for her revenge. "It''s not that. I... uh, I wasn''t able to say this to you but it''s the right thing to do since we''re mates. And aside from that, this is for your safety, too." Her brows furrowed. "For my safety? I don''t think it will do any harm to myself if I don''t give my mark yet." He seriously shook his head. "I talked to Penny. She said that if you wouldn''t be able to give your mark to me, your body will deteriorate." She chuckled without any hint of humor in her tone. "I don''t believe you," she said even though she''s slightly convinced because he mentioned Penny. And she read some books about the marking process C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org of the wolves although it''s only limited. She actually doesn''t think that it will affect her. "It''s fine. At least, it''s done. I can now be at ease." He smiled warmly at her this time. Lilian looked away when she suddenly felt how her heart thumped fast against her chest. She had a glimpse on the mark on his neck but she just continued eating since it actually looked sexy on him! The mark just gave more justice to his neck and now it just emphasizes it. The way Lilian blushes makes Alpha Karius unconsciously smile. He couldn''t help but to look at her pretty face as she ate the food he cooked a while ago. He''s d that she likes it. He really woke up early to personally cook her breakfast to make an effort. He didn''t disturb her anymore as she ate her breakfast. Momentster, she''s done and drinks the juice on the side. He got the tray and put it on the side table. "What are your ns for today?" He asked all of a sudden. "I don''t know. I don''t have the mood to roam around the pack for today," she answered. Yeah, she doesn''t have the mood and aside from that, she''s still tired fromst night. Her femininity is still aching because of his ruthless thrusts! It would be a miracle if she could still walk properlyter. "Hmm. Okay. I''ll stay here with you then." He shrugged his shoulders a bit. "What? Don''t you have work? Alpha duties?" Her brows furrowed. She doesn''t want him around her. Her thoughts are just filled with some worldly things when she sees her. Yeah, she''s that affected to him now, but there''s no way in hell that she''s going to tell it to him. "I have but my Luna is more important. I know you''re still tired. I''ll dly assist you in everything that you want to do for today." She rolled her eyes again. "No need. Just go." "I don''t wanna. I''ll stay so you could spare the helpers from your bitchiness." He chuckled lightly as if what he said wasn''t a big deal to Lilian. She red at him, but Alpha Karius is actually enjoying the sudden change of her expression. "What did you say?!" Bitchiness? How dare he say that to her! Well, yes, she''s really a bitch sometimes but she couldn''t ept that he''s the one telling it to her. "Yeah. I know you''ve been really giving them a hard time but that''s fine. They''ve been really patient with you, especially Nadia..." She crossed her arms. She suddenly has the hunch that maybe Nadia was the one who told him what she''s doing to them when he''s not around. "I will show them my bitchy side if they keep on talking behind my back. And that Nadia did something wrong to me. They all deserved it." "I know. But instead of giving them a hard time, pour all your wrath to me instead. I''d dly embrace it..." His voice suddenly became husky as he looked into her eyes. Lilian smirked. "Wait for it, then. I will destroy you until you won''t be able to rise up anymore." It was a threat. Now that she got the upper hand, she''s sure that she could control him and that makes the possibility that he won''t be able to hurt her anymore. But that doesn''t mean that she will let her guard down. "I''ll wait for it. You can destroy me as you please until I make up with all that I did in the... past." She became serious this time. The mention of the past is just bringing back all her ugly and painful memories that she wanted to forget. She wasn''t able to talk after that. She just watched him in the eyes without any hint of emotion written on her face. "I''m allowing you to take your revenge on me, love... hurt me if you want," he whispered as the memories of their dead child crossed his mind. It was all his fault. It was his fault why their little angel wasn''t able to live. It was his fault why Lilian had gone through so much pain. And if Lilian will really take revenge on him, he wouldn''t mind. That''s what he deserves for making the wrong decisions before... when he chose to hurt her without knowing that she''s already carrying their child at that time. "Then, brace yourself. You will taste my sweetest revenge soon," she said seriously as she suddenly stood up naked, not minding him watching her moves and wore her robest night before she stormed out of his room without ncing back at him. 39. The Bigger Wolf 39. The Bigger Wolf CHAPTER 39: The Bigger Wolf SHE WENT BACK to her usual self where she kept on ignoring Alpha Karius again. Days had passed and theirst conversation didn''t really turn out well and Lilian thought that it''s better to distance herself from him for now since he''s just bringing up the topic about their child. Aside from that, she wouldn''t deny the fact that the sexual tension between them became thicker now that she already marked him. Her wolf is always craving for him and before her own body betrays her again, she chooses to just ignore him. Heck, she wouldn''t like to appear like she''s the only one who''s thirsty for sex! "Good morning, Luna. You haven''t eaten your breakfast yet, so I brought you food," Nadia suddenly said when Lilian was in the garden, sitting on the round table. She''s just staring at the wide garden in front of her, feeling the cold breeze of air, rxing her mind, hoping that her greeny thoughts about Alpha Karius suddenly disappear. "Did I tell you to bring my breakfast here?" Lilian asked as she arched her brow while looking at Nadia. Well, she didn''t really order the helpers to give her food there so she''s actually surprised that Nadia is bringing it to her now. "I-I''m sorry, Luna." Nadia bowed her head a bit and immediately trembled on Lilian''s tone. She gulped and was about to get the tray but Lilian sighed and stopped her. "Nevermind. Put it back here." Lilian gestured her head a bit to make her put the tray in front of her again, so Nadia immediately obliged. "Sit down. You can have the food. I only want the coffee." She gets the coffee on the other side of the tray and sip on it. The taste is surprisingly good. It''s not too sweet and not too bitter for her liking. She likes the creaminess of it, too. She held the mug, feeling the heat as she looked at Nadia. "B-But, Luna... it''s not really appropriate to sit on one table with you. Sorry, but I can''t do that." Nadia slightly shook her head, still trembling. "You haven''t eaten your breakfast yet, right? Eat it." Shemanded again and used her most authoritative tone. It was enough to intimidate her. "Luna..." "I don''t want to repeat myself. I''m ordering you to sit down and eat the food," she said, more firm and authoritative this time. Nadia gulped at Lilian''s tone as her head is now filled with confusion. Why would the Luna even bother to ask her to eat the food for her? It doesn''t make sense. And besides, Nadia knew how Lilian disliked her so badly after what she did in the past. Nadia had no choice but to sit down on the chair just in front of Lilian. She was hesitant at first but Lilian looked at her with her arched brow so she had no choice but to follow her. Lilian was just sporting her emotionless face as she sipped on her coffee as Nadia started eating the food that she prepared slowly since she''s really ufortable eating with the Luna. This is not right, Nadia thought. "You''re the one who told Alpha Karius how I treat all the helpers in the mansion?" Lilian started to talk as she stared at Nadia who suddenly stopped from eating. Nadia paled instantly. Of course, she needed to tell everything that''s happening inside the mansion to Alpha Karius. He asked her to report sometimes to him and always ask for Lilian. She would report every detail to him. But it seems like Lilian didn''t like it so Nadia couldn''t help but to feel scared even more. "I''m sorry, Luna! I''m sorry!" "Tss." Lilian just rolled her eyes. She slightly smirked looking at how Nadia looked at her with her scared expression right now. She never knew that the strict helper that she knew before could be really like this. "I''m really sorry, Luna. D-Do you want me to stop reporting everything to Alpha Karius?" "Hmm. Maybe. I just want you to do something for me instead." She slightly shrugged her shoulders a bit as she sipped on her coffee again. Nadia straightens her back, as if she''s really ready for what Lilian is about to say. "What is it, Luna? I''ll do it if I can," she said with her most determined tone. "I want you to stop being blind in every wrong thing that you witnessed, just like what you did to your fake Luna before. I''m your real Luna so follow what I want, hmm?" Lilian said seriously making Nadia paled even more but secondster, she slowly nodded her head like a scared cat. *** PENNY WAS THE one who apanied Lilian to roam around the pack the next day. She hasn''t seen Alpha Karius that much in the mansion the previous day since he''s also busy discussing some things with Calyx or the other elderly wolves in the pack. Lilian didn''t put too much attention on it anymore and just didn''t talk to him that much. Now, Penny and Lilian are in the school of pups. Lilian taught the pups earlier and she could say that she''s somehow close to them now. When they''re done, they go out for their snacks then momentster, they are busy ying on the yground now since it''s their break time. The noise that could be only heard on the surroundings is the hearty giggles of the kids as they yed with each other. "I saw Alpha Karius'' mark." Penny suddenly started to talk while sitting beside Lilian on one of the benches in the school just under the tree. They chose to stay there since the weather is a bit hot for today and they are protected from the sunlight because of the huge tree beside them. Lilian rolled her eyes a bit. "Yeah. I gave him my mark the other day." She gave it when they were having sex. "That''s good. Your life will be really at stake if you won''t give it to him since he''s still your mate," Penny said seriously, making Lilian look at her this time with her brows furrowed. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "So, it''s true, huh. He said that my body will deteriorate if I fail to give mine." She remembered what he told him and now that Penny is bringing back the topic, she wanted to know more. She''s actually curious so she anticipates the next words of Penny. "Yes, it''s true. The venom of an Alpha''s fangs is dangerouspared to other ordinary wolves. Since you''re an omega, your body might not take it unless you also give her your mark to break the venom. If you got your mark from an ordinary wolf, then there''s no doubt that you will be able to take it but it''s not..." She didn''t talk after that. Well, what Penny just said makes sense to her so she''s slightly convinced now. She doesn''t really want to believe it at first but of course, Penny won''t lie to her. And even though she wanted to contradict what she''s saying, she has no knowledge about markings on wolves that much. "You''re nning something against him," Penny suddenly said again, making Lilian straighten her back. "I can feel it... you have this urge to make him... fall." Lilian chuckled. "You''re talking too much, Penny." She chose to just divert the topic. She doesn''t want to talk that much about her revenge. Penny just looked her in the eye. "Your heart is full of hatred and anger right now, I understand but I hope you learned to forgive those who hurt you before..." Lilian smirked. "Forgive? Hmm, I''ll think about it." What they all did to her is not just a simple joke. They killed her soul. It''s time for them all to pay back what they did to her before. "AHHHH! A ROGUE!" Lilian and Penny stood up immediately upon hearing the scream of one of the pups as their eyes widened in shock. There''s really a rogue ready to attack one of the pups! Lilian is ready to help the pup but then Penny stops her by slightly pulling her arm, making her re at her. Rogues are wolves that do not belong to any packs. They are not following rules and are used to doing what the hell they want even if it involves killing every race. "Don''t fucking stop me!" Lilian shouted as she jumped in the air, shifting to her wolf form, feeling worried about the pup. Lilian immediately went to the rogue that''s ready to attack the kid and wed its face. She ripped her with her canines before kicking it, making it hit the wall of the school that created a big crack on it. She didn''t stop and ran to the rogue again and bit it harshly before throwing it in the air, making it fall on the ground. A groan escaped from the rogue until it stopped moving and secondster, it died instantly. Meanwhile, Penny was just in awe as Lilian''s wolf expertly fought with the rogue... the rogue that instantly died by how she wed and ripped it. But that''s not really the thing that caught her attention the most. Lilian''s wolf seems bigger than a normal wolf. How did that even happen? Penny thought as her mouth still hangs open while staring at Lilian who''s now in its human form. 40. The Blind Witch 40. The Blind Witch CHAPTER 40: The Blind Witch "SHE WILL BE the reason for your death. Maybe not literally but I know she has something under her sleeves," Calyx said while they were inside Alpha Karius'' office again, reviewing some reports. Calyx couldn''t really ept how Alpha Karius forgives Lilian easily after she ditched him on his own birthday. He saw how hurt he was when he went back to his tree house. Lilian could really hurt him easily. That''s what he noticed and he''s afraid that in the near future, Lilian will fully wrap Alpha Karius around her fingers and control him in the end. That''s not impossible to happen knowing how whipped Alpha Karius is to her. Alpha Karius shrugged his shoulders as he scanned the pages of the reports. "I''ll let her be," he answered as if it wasn''t even a big deal. He''s already decided that whatever Lilian''s ns could be, he''d dly embrace it all. That''s how he loves her. He loves her so much that he''s giving her all the permission to hurt him, to taste her most sweetest revenge. Calyx annoyingly shook his head, disappointed at Alpha Karius'' answer. "Fucking whipped," he whispered that didn''t escape from Alpha Karius'' ears. He never knew that he could be really like this, the Alpha that he looks up to is willing to get hurt by a Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. woman. But on the other side, seeing Alpha Karius like this made Calyx somehow a bit rxed. This only means that he''s happy, unlike before when he thought that he lost Lilian. Alpha Karius was always stressed and buried himself with work, not getting enough rest. As his Beta, it actually hurts Calyx seeing him that way before. It was a good thing that Lilian came back to him and it turns out that they are also mates, but Calyx couldn''t still be at ease knowing that Lilian is nning something to Alpha Karius. Calyx will do everything to protect his Alpha, that''s for sure, so he needed to secretly watch over her. Alpha Karius chuckled. "If ever I''ll die in my mate''s hands, then I''ll dly rest in peace." He took it in a joking way as he smirked at him. Dying is really a heavy word but sometimes, it would cross his mind. If he will die, would Lilian even forgive him? He shrugged off that idea and looked at Calyx who''s about to burst out in anger already. Calyx is really the best Beta for him. He''s loyal and would do anything for him. What he likes about Calyx is he always trusts his decisions. Calyx didn''t seem to really like what Alpha Karius said and just remained serious while clenching his jaw as if he''s stopping himself to punch him since his hand also balled into fist. Well, he couldn''t just punch his Alpha that easily even if he wanted to. He wants to punch him for Alpha Karius to see the truth about Lilian... But he shook that idea away and just looked back at the papers instead. Momentster, they fell into deep silence. They became serious this time on their work as their gazes went to the pile of papers in front of the both of them. The papers are about the weekly report on the pack and the welfare of everyone. Alpha Karius became really hands on to his pack when Lilian was still not back. But he became more hands on now that she''s back, for her to see that he''s doing all his best to be the great Alpha, not only for the pack but also for his Luna. "Have you found the witch that I was telling you the other day?" Alpha Karius suddenly asked after a couple of minutes of silence as he leaned his back on his swivel chair. Well, a witch told him before about the rogue attacks but he wanted to ask another opinion of another witch just to make sure. There''s no harm in trying another witch this time. Calyx nodded his head. "Yeah. She''s now on her way here--" He wasn''t able toplete what he''s about to say anymore when they both heard a knock on the door. "Come in," Alpha Karius said. "I''m sorry for the disturbance, Alpha but a witch is here looking for you," said Marcus, one of the werewolves guarding outside the office. Marcus looked back a bit and gestured his head to someone outside. That''s when he opened the door wider for someone toe in. It was the witch that they were talking about. "A pleasant morning, Alpha Karius. I am Nich, a witch from Ha." The woman wearing a ck cloak bowed her head a bit as a sign of respect in front of Alpha Karius. Ha is a bit far from the Moon Stone pack. It''s actually a secluded ce and there''s a tribe of witches living there. He asked Calyx to look for a trusted witch in Ha to answer his questions about the rogue and some other things that concern the pack. "Likewise, Nich. Please, take a seat." Alpha Karius gestured his hand to the chair just in front of Calyx. Nich immediately obliged and shyly removed the hood of her cloak. Nich is a blind witch but has a strong sense when ites to her surroundings. She''s one of the strongest witches in the witches tribe in Ha. "There''s something that''s been bugging you the past few days." Nich started talking as she looked at Alpha Karius, even though she didn''t really see him. Alpha Karius is not really that surprised anymore on what she suddenly said. Maybe she could feel how chaotic his mind is. "Yeah. It''s about the... rogue attacks that a witch had told me before," Alpha Karius said as he sighed and both sped his hands on the table. "The witch told me before that my pack will be attacked by the rogues in the near future, making me make some wrong decisions in the past. I have lost some lives of my pack and someone who''s very dear to me." It was his child that he''s pertaining to. He almost lost Lilian, too, because he chose to break up with her in the past. "Wrong decisions... You know, it''s normal for us to make wrong decisions and trust anyone fast since we sometimes think that we run out of choices..." Nich meaningfully said. "Gianna... is she the wrong decision you''re talking about?" She smirked a bit. Alpha Karius straightened his back at the mere mention of that name, the woman who caused trouble in his pack and used his mate for something that she didn''t even do before. How did Nich find out about her? He''s not sure anymore. He could feel the aura of the blind witch in front of him that she''s not just a witch. She''s more than that. "You''re right. That woman really angered me to the core," he said as he clenched his jaw. He''s noting clean since he also hurt Lilian before but what Gianna did is really the worst. She made his own pack hate one of them, which is Lilian. It was also the reason why he removed the barrier among the higher ranked wolves to the lower ranked wolves. He realized that it was toote but it''s better if everyone treats each other fairly. That''s how a real pack works. He learned all of it when Lilian wasn''t with him. Meanwhile, Nich thinks something a bit strange, her eyes suddenly lit making the color of purple more vivid in front of Calyx and Alpha Karius. The two men let her as she suddenly gasped. Seconds "Two women... I''m seeing two women that will fight for power and for your heart. The other woman is the woman named... Gianna. She will bring the worst in your pack so do not let your guard down, especially the ones that are important to you. She''s a bit... destructive." She paused a bit. "The other woman is still unclear to me but she will give you either protection or your downfall. She''s holding a grudge against you but you still need to be careful around her. She''s the only one that could protect you from the wrath of Gianna and the rogues. She''s rewarded by the moon goddess of a great power and it will be a big challenge for her to control it." Alpha Karius thinks a bit. The other woman is holding a grudge against him. He suddenly has a hunch that maybe... Lilian was the second woman that Nich is talking about. But... she also said that the second woman is rewarded by a great power by the moon goddess. He''s not belittling Lilian but she''s just a mere omega. What Nich said in thest part is a bit impossible. Lilian doesn''t have any super power, he knows that. "You should be careful to your decisions from now on, Alpha Karius..." Nich advised making Alpha Karius nodded his head. "And about the rogue attacks, well, you don''t have to worry about it anymore..." "Why?" "Because you already found your mate. That''s enough reason for them to back down since they could feel your oozing power as the alpha." He nodded again before sighed in relief. He was about to say something again when Marcus suddenly came inside again making his brows furrowed. He''s about tosh out for the sudden disturbance since he didn''t even knock but he stopped himself. "What?" Alpha Karius'' tone is a bit annoyed as his brow raised a bit. "A-Alpha Karius... the school of pups has been attacked by a rogue." "Fuck!" He couldn''t help but to stand up and was about to go but he stopped on thest thing that Marcus said. "B-But everything is under control now. Luna Lilian was able to kill the rogue." Marcus sighed in relief. Even though everything is under control now, Alpha Karius still didn''t hesitate to stand up and went out of his office to go to the school of pups. He''s worried about the pups. When he reached the ce, he was in awe seeing a big wolf, almost at his wolf''s size, that suddenly attacked the rogue ruthlessly and killed it. Momentster, the big wolf shifted to its human form and Alpha Karius was shocked to see that it was Lilian, his mate. How the hell did she turn out to be that big and expert in fighting? 41. The Visitor 41. The Visitor CHAPTER 41: The Visitor LILIAN IS NOW wrapped with a nket after shifting back to her human form. Her body and lips were stained with blood so she wiped it with the nket while pondering what she just did. She''s not that dumb to not realize her strength earlier. Yes, she trained herself to be stronger and learned to defend herself in Midnight Pack but she knew what she did a while ago was beyond her capability. She knew to herself that she''s just an omega. She''s well aware about the things that an omega can do. And her wolf... how the hell did she be bigger like that anyway? She ripped and wed the rogue easily and without any hint of remorse. She even throws it in the air making it fall on the ground with a heavy impact. An omega cannot do that. "Search the whole area and make sure that there''s no rogue lingering around here," said Alpha Karius to the wolf warriors of the pack. Calyx was the one who led the searching while he seriously looked at Lilian who''s silently quivering. Yes, she''s shaking, that''s what Alpha Karius'' noticed after she was given a nket to cover her nakedness by Teacher Naia. She''s sitting on the bench with Penny who''s still not talking, probably because she''s too shocked by what she saw, too. He saw Penny being amazed with Lilian''s wolf earlier so he clearly understands why she''s not saying a word about it. Sighing, Alpha Karius went in their direction. Penny was the one who noticed him first and stood up and left to give them time together while Lilian was still busy wiping the blood on her hand and mouth. Alpha Karius sat on the seat where Penny was upying earlier. "Let me do it," he said to her and took his own hanky before getting her hands from her. Surprisingly, she didn''t even protest and let him be. "You were so brave awhile ago, love. I saw what you did to save the pup..." he said with his most gentle tone as he smiled a bit, trying to cheer her up. Her hands were cold and shaking a bit. He wanted to calm her down so he held her hands longer, transferring his warmth to her. Lilian looked at Alpha Karius with now her brows furrowed. "You were here? That means... you saw it too, right?" she asked. Well, she thought that he just came here together with some wolf warriors. She suddenly thought about his reaction to how she shifted a while ago. Maybe he''s also wondering how she did that. "Yeah. I received a report that there''s a rogue attack here. I got worried about the pups so..." He shrugged his shoulders, not asking about what he saw earlier. Lilian actually appreciates it. He didn''t open up about it anymore, maybe he felt that she''s not reallyfortable talking about it which she really appreciates. Lilian chose to not talk after that. She suddenly felt exhausted. All she wants to do right now is to have some decent rest on her bed and sleep. After exerting that kind of strength awhile ago, she suddenly felt how tired she is now like it consumed a lot of her energy. "You can rest, love," he whispered. As if getting what she''s thinking, Alpha Karius suddenly pulled her head gently and made hery on his broad chest, wrapping his arms around her. She just let out a soft moan as she gave all her weight to him. He shifted her weight a bit and also pulled her both legs on hisp, holding it in ce to make her feel better. She feltfortable as she closed her eyes, inhaling his manly scent on his neck. And as if on a cue, she fell asleep feeling the loud thudding of his heart against his chest that matched the rhythm of her heart, too. *** IT WAS ALREADY dark when Calyx and the pack warriors came back. Alpha Karius looked at them with his serious face as he lightly tapped Lilian''s arms who''s still sleeping peacefully on his chest. His touch was gentle to not wake her up. "Is it done? Have you found any suspicious footprints of a rogue? It''s really impossible that only one rogue has the guts to step on my territory," he said with so much authority. "And we have guards around the area. How the fuck did a single rogue was able to outsmart them all." He gritted his teeth in annoyance. He couldn''t really ept the fact that a single rogue was able to enter his pack. What a brave move from that rogue. N?velDrama.Org (C) content. He tried to think on the other side. It could be from his rivals, sending him a warning or something. It could also be just a normal rogue getting lost in his pack. Or maybe someone has sent it... He''s really trying to think what could be the reason behind this rogue attack. But then a thought suddenly came to his mind. The witch before told him about some rogue attacks that will happen to his pack in the future. It could be starting now... "We are already investigating about it, Alpha. And about the footprints, we found out that it was the same footprint of the rogue that was killed by the Luna. There''s no other rogues in the whole area aside from... him." Calyx was the one who answered and gestured his head, pointing the dead rogue on the ground that was now being pulled by the other pack warriors. The scent of its blood still lingers in the air. He already made the pups go back to their homes. The ss has been canceled after what happened and aside from that, there''s a crack on the wall of the ssroom so they still need to fix it for a couple of days. He pity those pups who have witnessed what happened earlier. He just hopes that it won''t cause them trauma. They''re too precious to see that scary animal. Alpha Karius just nodded. He wanted to get mad at them all but he can''t since Lilian is still in his arms, sleeping. He doesn''t want to disturb her so he just red at everyone making them all look down, except for Calyx who still remained emotionless. Calyx was the only one who had the guts to look back at him. Momentster, Alpha Karius stood up, carrying Lilian in a bridal way and decided to go back to the mansion. Some of the pack warriors are left in the school of pups to guard the whole area. Some are also fixing the walls. When he reaches the mansion, he''s actually surprised that Nich is there together with an unfamiliar man. His brows furrowed. He thought she already left. "I had the urge to visit your Luna that''s why I came here, Alpha Axel. I''m sorry for not telling you this earlier. One of the wolves was kind enough to take us here." Nich said as she bowed her head a bit then her head tilted a bit, as if she could see Lilian that Alpha Karius was carrying. "That''s her, right?" Alpha Karius just nodded his head a bit. "I''ll just take her to our room to rest," he told her and went upstairs where his room is. He put her to bed and made her wear his clothes. While putting it to her, he would gulp unconsciously when he saw her body. But he shrugged his worldly thoughts and sighed deeply before going down to check on Nich since he could already feel how he grew a damn boner just by staring at the sleeping Lilian. "I thought you already left. I apologize for leaving you earlier, there was a rogue attack so I went to the area immediately to check on it..." he said as he upied the other sofa in front of them. The other man with Nich looked straight into Alpha Karius'' eyes, making him raise a brow a bit. He also looked back with the same intensity to him and doesn''t really have the ns to back down. Who is he? He thought but he''s already caught on the next thing that Nich said. Nich just nodded her head. "She''s starting..." Her eyes glowed a bit making her move on his seat a bit as he looked at her straight in the eyes even though she couldn''t really see him. "Who?" His brows furrowed. "The first woman... Gianna is starting. Take care of your pack, Alpha Karius." He went serious this time. "I know Gianna is a daughter of an Alpha but how is she even rted to the rogues here?" "She has a special ability that everyone is not aware about. She wille back to you." He clenched his jaw. The audacity of that woman to stille back here in his pack. Well, he will get ready for her return. How dare she cause fear to everyone here after he weed her before? She was even treated like his real Luna and now what? She wille back like she didn''t do something wrong? That thick faced bitch. *** LILIAN WOKE UP groaning and realizes that she''s already inside Alpha Karius'' room. She immediately got up from the bed as the memories earlier rushed in her head. She slept in Alpha Karius'' broad chest. That thought alone made her blushed as it made her heart pounded loudly against her chest. She shrugged off that idea before she stood up and decided to go back to her room. That''s when she sees that she''s also wearing his shirt. She smells like her now... When she went out, her brows furrowed upon hearing some voices downstairs. Curiously, she went down barefooted and looked at the people talking. The other one was Alpha Karius, she''s sure of that since she could recognize his deep and baritone voice. He''s talking with an unfamiliar woman and another man. "What the..." she whispered when she realized that the man beside the woman was familiar with her. "Jackson..." she whispered his name and as if on a cue, the man looked up at his direction and looked at her. It was real. Jackson from the Midnight pack is here. What is he even doing here? 42. The Privacy 42. The Privacy CHAPTER 42: The Privacy "HIS NAME IS Jackson Casters. He''s a traveler and is currently residing at Ha. He''s a wolf from a pack in South Africa," Nadia said as she slightly tilted her head at Jackson''s direction. Alpha Karius looked at him curiously. Just by only looking at him, he could tell that he''s tall. He has curly hair and a pointed nose. His skin has a darkplexion and he really looked like a person who doesn''t even know how to joke. Alpha Karius straightened his back while looking at him. He could feel that something is really odd with this man named Jackson in front of him. "Jackson is also a blogger in his country and as of now, he''s currently featuring different packs for his blog and he chose your pack this time, Alpha Karius," Nadia exined. "I''ve heard some things about his blog and I can say that he''s good at what he''s doing." "Any identification?" Alpha Karius asked as he arched his brow a bit. He wanted to make sure if he''s really a blogger like what Nadia is saying. He reminded himself to make Calyx have a background check on him. He couldn''t risk it, especially his pack. Jackson then moved and got something inside his pocket. He showed some IDs making Alpha Karius tilted his head a bit. One is his nationality card, the other is his pack card, and the other one is an old school card. He looked at him again andpared his face on the ID cards. The photo on the other ID is actually blurry, making him more suspicious. While the two IDs are still new, like it has been only released recently. Well, even though Jackson already showed him his cards, he''s still not fully convinced. Jackson suddenly moved on his seat and smiled a bit. "I can assure you that I will only post positive things about your pack in my blog." He smiled a bit. "I am actually amazed by how you rule your own pack. In just a span of a year, you were able to change the system of your pack that has been followed by your ancestors, the barrier between the higher rank wolves and the lower rank wolves, right?" Alpha Karius just simply nodded. How did she even know that? Well, he''s not sure anymore. "What do you want to happen then?" Alpha Karius asked. Of course, he''s not that dumb thinking that he wanted something in his pack aside from his blog and stuff. He just knew that he had other business in his territory. Something is really strange about the aura of this man named Jackson. There''s only one way for him to find out about it... "Is it fine for you if... I''ll stay here in your house for a couple of days until I''m done writing on my blog?" Jackson asked as he cleared his throat. Alpha Karius smirked. What a thick-faced man. Just what he thought. He specifically chose his mansion to stay when he can even choose any houses out there. "Why do you think I''d let you stay here? I can just let you stay in my office. I also have guest rooms there..." He smirked. He has guards there that will look at him if ever he did something wrong. He can easily order them to punish this man if he ever does something unpleasant to him. That made Jackson a bit stunned but he was able to smile after. "Okay. If that''s what you want, Alpha Karius. I wouldn''t mind staying at any ce anyway. I could make some friends with your pack, too." Jackson smiled like he''s not even bother. "Thank you for your kindness." Alpha Karius nodded his head a bit. "Okay. I''ll ask Calyx to assist you. And I only have one rule for you as you stay here in my pack." "What is it, Alpha Karius?" "No monkey business. If ever I found out that you''re doing something behind my back, I''ll personally kill you with my bare hands." He threatened him and smiled at him. "So... wee to my pack, Jackson Casters. I hope you enjoy your stay here." He stood up and extended his hand for a handshake. Jackson looked at his hand a bit. It took seconds before he also shook Alpha Karius'' hand. Alpha Karius smirked. Oh, he wouldn''t mind killing any outsidyer in his pack if ever they do something wrong... *** "YOU SAW IT too, right?" Penny asked Alpha Karius when she entered his library. He checks some documents first there before he goes back to his room where Lilian is sleeping. He looked at Penny seriously. He''s sure what she''s pertaining to. It was Lilian and how she was able to kill the rogue expertly awhile ago and her big wolf. Penny still can''t get over the fact that Lilian was able to do it when she knew that she''s an Omega. She tried thinking what could possibly be the reason behind it but she couldn''t find it in her head. "Yeah," he answered. "Maybe because she''s the daughter of a she-wolf alpha..." he replied as if it''s not even a big deal. He already thinks about that possibility. But the other side of his brain is telling him that there could be other possible reasons for that. He already has a hunch but he still needs to make sure about it. He will know about it soon, he just needs more time to see for himself. "A she-wolf alpha? Howe?" Penny asked as her brows furrowed. She never really heard anything about it. She only knows before that Lilian is actually living alone, no parents and doesn''t have that many friends. Other than that, she had known her as the kind hearted omega since she would sometimes save her co-omegas when they''re doing their dirty and heavy works before. She knew her in a very short period of time but she could tell that she''s one of the nicest people that she had met. And Penny couldn''t also feel sad knowing that she had changed. She changed and became cold. The coldness of her stares made her shiver every time they talked. She changed because she has been really hurt before, and Penny couldn''t really me her for that. It was her way to protect herself now. "Do you remember the wolves that suddenly intruded here in our pack back when... Lilian was used of being a thief?" "Yes. But what about them?" Penny''s brows furrowed. Why does Alpha Karius suddenly ask about it? She couldn''t help but think about it. "The wolves are from the Midnight pack, the pack that has a female alpha named Calista." "Calista... her name seems familiar to me." Penny tried to think as her brows furrowed. Calista... where did she even hear her name before? She tried to remember that name but she just couldn''t get any answer. "She''s pretty popr since some of the wolves are questioning her capability as an alpha. And her mate died a long time ago in the war." Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. That made Penny straighten her back. Right. Now, she remembered. She''s the Alpha that has been really talk of the town because of being a female alpha. She shrugged a bit, thinking that Calista is brave enough to rule her pack. Not every woman could do that but that doesn''t mean that a woman is not allowed to lead anymore. "That''s... sad. Don''t tell me... she''s the real mother of Luna Lilian?" Penny asked as the realization suddenly started to hit her. Her eyes slowly widened as she looked at Alpha Karius. Alpha Karius smirked. "She is. That''s how badass my Luna is," he even told her proudly. "Wow," she blurted out in awe. "Yeah. Just wow. But I don''t think that''s the reason for her sudden capability..." His expression is serious this time. "I think there''s more to it that I need to know," he added. *** LILIAN COULDN''T HELP but to feel confused. Why is Jackson suddenly here? What''s his business here? That''s what he thought when she woke up the next morning. She was disoriented at first, but surprisingly, she calmed down when she saw an arm wrapped around her waist. She looked up and saw Alpha Karius'' sleeping face. Even if he''s sleeping, he still looked ruthless because of his brows meeting. His naturally red lips are slightly opened making her smell his minty breath. She suddenly had the urge to caress his jaw but she stopped herself and rolled her eyes at her thought. Lilian removed his arms around her waist gently, afraid that he might wake up but it''s toote. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her before he smiled a bit. "Good morning, love," he greeted with his deep husky voice. "How are you feeling now?" He lifted his hand and fixed her hair, making Lilian''s cheeks slightly heated. But then, her brows furrowed after what he asked registered in her mind. Why is he asking how she is feeling now? But then, what happened yesterday suddenly came to her mind where she discovered something new to herself... where her wolf became bigger than its usual size and her strength. It bothers her too much and she actually appreciates Alpha Karius for asking that much about it since she''s also confused about herself. "I''m fine." Lilian gets up from the bed. "I''ll go back to my room now. I''ll fix myself." "No need. Everything you need is already here," he said and also got up from the bed, revealing his naked chest. She looked away when she realized how hot he is even in the morning. His disheveled hair and sleepy eyes just made him hotter even more. He suddenly wrapped his arm back around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder, sniffing her neck. Instead of getting away from him, Lilian surprisingly didn''t bother to remove his arm around her. She looked at it and slightly pulled the hair on his arm yfully. He didn''t mind it and just tightened his arm around her. "What do you mean?" She asked. "I put all your clothes and things here. From now on, we''re going to stay in one room, love. I want to have privacy with you..." he yfully said as his hand on her waist hitched up and reached her left breast, giving it a good squeeze, making her arched her brow a bit. 43. The Serious Matter 43. The Serious Matter CHAPTER 43: The Serious Matter AFTER TAKING A bath, Lilian went out of Alpha Karius bathroom with just a towel wrapped around her body. She forgot to get her clothes earlier because of her annoyance to him when he told her that he put all her things inside his room! He didn''t even bother to ask her about it! "Woah. You''re so sexy, love." She heard Alpha Karius say while she''s on his way to his closet, as if he didn''t even do something wrong! Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to notice how sexy she is even just with a simple towel wrapped around her body. He suddenly envies the beads of water trickling down from her hair down to her chest. It was such a turn on but of course, she''s mad at her right now so he won''t give in to his lust and desire easily. Well, he asked Nadia to put all her things in his room from now on for their privacy... and also to watch over her after she did to the rogue and the size of her wolf. He just wanted to make sure that she''s fine and the best thing that he could do is to make her closer to him. Lilian looked at him and rolled her eyes at him. "Don''t talk to me," she said. Before getting inside the closet, she even heard his sexy chuckle making her even more annoyed. Wow. The jerk has the guts to After a couple of seconds, she opted wearing a mustard halter top dress that ended just above her knees. She''s drying her hair when she decided to go out. And there, she saw the grinning Alpha Karius again from ear to ear. She rolled her eyes at her again as she made her way in front of the full length mirror but before she could even do that, Alpha Karius suddenly pulled her arm that made hernd on hisp. "Don''t roll your eyes too much. You don''t know how much those pretty eyes affect me," he said as he got the towel from Lilian''s hand and he continued drying her hair. "Why does it even bother you?" She asked, raising a brow. Goodness. She doesn''t know what''s happening to her anymore. She''s just letting him do what he wants to do to her. This is not really good already. And her heart... it beats so fast again just by only sitting on hisp. She knows this kind of feeling. And she''s afraid to admit to herself that her heart is at stake again... No... "Because it turns me on so much. Well, whatever you do gives me a damn boner. That''s how you affect me, love. You''re the only woman that could affect me like this," he answered, making Lilian''s cheeks heated. Alpha Karius even saw it that he even chuckled at her reaction. "You''re blushing," he said with his teasing tone. Her eyes slightly widened a bit and looked away. "I-I''m not!" And now she''s even stuttering! What''s with her now that she''s suddenly shy to Alpha Karius? It''s just him for Pete''s sake! She should not feel this way around him! She should show him that she''s not affected at all! "Okay, if you say so..." he replied. He stopped teasing her after that and just silently dried her hair. When he''s done, he suddenly hugged her from behind, making her straighten her back. She could feel his broad chest behind her and she could also sniff his manly scent that she suddenly wanted to close her eyes to smell it. "Now, you''re being clingy..." Lilian said, not looking back at him. "I like hugging you, you know that even before." He chuckled. "How sure are you that I still like being hugged by you, huh?" Her tone was a bit confident. She''s not the same Lilian anymore. The old Lilian likes being so close with him... but not anymore. The old Lilian is already dead the moment she experienced so much pain. "I just know. Even though you''re rolling your eyes at me, I know you still like it because you''re not really pushing me away," he replied as if he was so sure of what he said. The audacity of this man! Instead of arguing with him, she tried to stand up from hisp. "Get off me," shemanded but the brute just tightened his arm around her as if he really had no ns on letting her go. "Hmm. Please, let''s stay like this for a while. I miss you, love. So much..." he suddenly said, making Lilian stop from getting off of him. "Tss. We''re always seeing each other here in your mansion." "I know but..." he sighed deeply. "I just missed the old us." She gritted her teeth. "If you will just bring up our past, just let me go now. I have no time to reminisce about those ugly memories," Lilian said as a matter of fact. He sighed deeply. "I still love you, Lilian. What I feel for you never falters," he said instead, not minding what she just said. "Well... I''m sorry but the feeling is not mutual anymore," she coldly replied to him. He smiled, but it was clear that it didn''t even reach his eyes. "That''s fine. I''ll do everything for you to love me again..." "Let''s see. Because I already told myself that I will never fall in love with you again. Never again," she said and stood up from hisp, and this time, he let her go. She goes out of his room without hearing his next words. But what she didn''t really like is her wolf whimpering like she''s sad about the words that she said to Alpha Karius. And her heart... it was aching when she had a glimpse of his hurt expression. *** LILIAN WENT TO the vige to visit some other wolves. But what she didn''t really expect is seeing Jackson mingling with the other wolves there as if he''s been staying in the pack for so long. Jackson could be really friendly to everyone around him, that''s why he''s loved by the Midnight pack, not only because he''s handsome but he''s also kind and nice. That''s the reason why female wolves are so fond of him. Just like now. Most of the wolves talking to him are females. Girls are obviously whipped by his looks on the first nce. He could easily charm someone with just his smiles. She cleared her throat to get everyone''s attention. "What''s the matter here? And, oh. It seems like we have a newbie here..." Lilian even pretended that she''s shock as she looked at Jackson''s direction as she raised a brow. "Luna!" Everyone even bowed their heads a bit as they saw Lilian approach their direction except Jackson. Jackson smirked at her, crossing her arm in front of her chest. Okay. So, he has the audacity to smirk at her, huh. "Good day, Luna Lilian. I am Jackson Casters from a pack in South Africa. I am currently working on my blog and I chose this pack to feature since I''ve heard many good things here. Although Alpha Karius already gave me the permission, I hope you wouldn''t mind me roaming around the pack, Luna." He chuckled a bit and even scratched the back of his head, also emphasizing the word ''Luna''. "This is my first day and I can already feel the warmth of the whole Moon Stone pack." He smirked. Lilian couldn''t help but to shake her head mentally. So Jackson made up some story to go here. Jackson Casters, huh? He used a fake surname to hide his real identity. She''s actually surprised that he was able to go here with just his made up story and fake identity. And he even got Alpha Karius'' permission! What is even the reason why he suddenly went here? She wanted to know so bad. "That''s fine with me. Uh... I''ll just go near the falls to rx a bit." She pointed at the direction where the falls is. She looked at Jackson as if she''s talking to him through her eyes and fortunately, he got what she wanted to say to him. Lilian wanted so badly to talk to him. The falls is the best ce where she could talk to Jackson since the water is noisy enough for the other wolves to not hear their conversation. She won''t dare risking it. Someone might find out that Jackson is a fraud so as much as possible, she wanted to make everything rted to the both of them just a secret. Just a couple of secondster, she reached the falls and stood there silently, waiting for him. And just what she thought, Jackson followed her there momentster. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Hi." Jackson greeted him and even shed a smile as if he didn''t do something wrong. "Hi, your face! Why are you here, Jackson?" she asked immediately as she rolled her eyes. He chuckled. "Woah. Chill. I just want to take a visit, okay? I want to make sure you''re fine so... how are you?" He asked. "I''m fine. I know there''s another reason aside from that, Jackson. Tell me now." He became serious this time. "Yeah. We really need to talk about a serious matter, Lilian. This has something to do with you..." Lilian couldn''t help but to straighten her back a bit. Now, she suddenly felt nervous about the next thing that Jackson is about to say. 44. The Vision 44. The Vision CHAPTER 44: The Vision "YOUR MOTHER MISSES you so much," Jackson said as they sat on the big rock near the water. He held Lilian''s hand and guided her on sitting properly. Lilian heaved a deep sigh and smiled. "Please tell her I miss her, too." She couldn''t help but to think about her sometimes. She misses her mother so much and she can''t help but to wonder what she is doing now? What''s making her busy the past few days that she''s not with her? Oh, Lilian hopes that she''s not burying herself with her work and her Alpha duties that much. Jackson scoffed. "You should be the one telling that to her. When are you going back, Lilian? Alpha Calista is so worried about you." That made her straighten her back. Well... she has no ns in going back for now. And her mission is still not done... But then, the other part of her brain is somehow saying that her wolf likes to stay here. Her wolf is happy here and she would be really lonely if she ever left this ce. "Soon. I''lle back soon. I just need to finish some... things here." Lilian shrugged his shoulders as her eyes went to the clear water and sighed again. "That''s good to hear. I thought you have no ns oning back already. The Midnight pack is still your home, in case you have forgotten that thing already." He gently shook his head as if he''s disappointed and sighed. Well, Jackson couldn''t help but to feel sad knowing that Lilian, his sparring partner is not around in Midnight pack. He misses her so much but as of now, he has no balls to admit it to her. Other than that, he also has no ns on telling Lilian what he... truly feels for her. Because Jackson knew to himself that it''s all useless now. And what he feels is wrong that voicing it out will onlyplicate things. "I''ll alwayse back to our pack," Lilian replied with a small smile on her lips. Of course, Midnight pack is still her home like what Jackson has said. And she has no ns on... staying here longer. "That''s good to hear. By the way, how''s your mate?" He suddenly shifted the topic as he looked down. He suddenly wanted to hit himself for asking Lilian about that. It actually hurts him but he has no ns on showing it to her that he''s hurting. "Is he... good to you? Are you fine staying with him?" He asked. He wants to know. Because the other side of his brain is saying that maybe, he could pursue her if her mate is not treating her well. He could take her away from him if she''s not happy with him. Damn, he must be insane now. He''s willing to go to that extent of stealing Lilian away from her mate if ever she asked him to. "He''s..." Lilian was suddenly out of words. Alpha Karius... he''s actually good at and is busy making up with her even though she''s hurting him with words. He''s just epting it all. Other than that, he''s also good in... bed. Of course, she must admit that but she has no ns voicing it out. She blushed at her own thoughts. "... still the same Alpha," she continued instead. "What do you mean still the same? From what I learned from your story that you told me before, that Alpha broke your heart. Is he repeating the same mistake?" Jackson asked as he clenched his jaw. He knew about her past, one of the reasons why he had the urge to steal Lilian away from her mate but he chose not to as a sign of respect to her. Lilian sighed again. "Let''s not talk about it. I want to know what''s the reason for your sudden appearance here. Did someone send you?" She diverted the topic instead and looked at him seriously this time, remembering what he told her just minutes ago. "Alpha Calista sent me here. Aside from the fact that she wanted to know if you''re fine here, she wanted to ry a message about her vision to you." He told him seriously. Vision. Calista, her mother, has the ability to see a vision through her dreams. She''s actually a hybrid-- half witch and half wolf but being a wolf is more dominant in her blood. She rarely shows the ability of being a witch, too. But aside from that, she hates her witch ability that could see a vision because she failed to see what''s going to happen before when she lost her mate and Lilian back in the war. Thinking about it, Lilian couldn''t help but to be sad for her mother. Until now, she could still feel that Calista is ming herself for what happened long years ago. Sometimes, she wanted to open it up before but then she knew how painful it would be for her so she chose not to talk that much about it anymore. "What did she see?" Lilian asked curiously. "It''s about the moon goddess," he answered. The serious tone of Jackson somehow made Lilian suddenly feel nervous even though she shouldn''t be. She suddenly had the hunch that this talk will be heavy for her. Lilian nodded. "You said earlier that you have something to tell that has something to do with me. What is it? And why are you even bringing about the moon goddess all of a sudden?" Well, it actually doesn''t make any sense if this talk concerns her. "As we all know, the moon goddess is responsible for the mating process of the wolves. The goddess is the one who''s choosing the mate of every wolf that would be bound forever through their marks." He paused a bit. "But other than that, there''s one thing that you should know about it. The moon goddess rewards a wolf every hundred years with an extraordinary strength that would end the evil and the darkness of this world." Lilian didn''t talk, waiting for the next thing that Jackson is about to say. Well, she already knew about some things since she had studied those things before when she was in Midnight pack. But it was all limited since she''s also busy with some other things like her training and teaching some pups. And sometimes, she would prefer reading romance books. "I thought that''s just a myth? About the wolf with extraordinary strength and... stuff." She shrugged her shoulders. She has read something like that but what she''s sure of is it''s just a myth. Well, some are saying that it''s just a myth, but some are also saying that it''s all true. "It''s not just a myth, it really happens in our race. It was just forgotten because some wolves are not that traditional anymore. We''re already in the modern times era so we can''t really expect everyone to believe it. Every wolf has their own beliefs and practices now..." Jackson shrugged. Lilian nodded slowly. "The wolf that was rewarded by the moon goddess will be the one to kill all the evil creatures in our world... and that includes demons." Lilian''s brows furrowed this time. "Demons... There''s no such creatures like that anymore. The demons have been locked in the underworld a long time ago and they can nevere back again, you know that." She''s sure about that thing since their kinds are not lingering in this world now. If ever there''s a demon around, she could immediately feel it even if she''s just an omega. Demons are terrifying creatures, worse than rogues with a rotten scent so it will be immediately noticed by anyone. Jackson nodded. "Yeah. But demons were able to breed their race here in this world before. Most of their victims were humans, since they''re the most vulnerable target they could get. Any human that will give birth to a demon dies. And the child... it''s either they die or they automatically sumb to the underworld. But then, some of the demons that were able to survive are just hiding in the body of every creature, a host, waiting to be unleashed. So, the best thing that the moon goddess should do is to send someone to kill them all. And I don''t think you will believe me about this, but..." He gulped like he''s contemting if he''s going to say it or not. Her brows furrowed. "But what?" "Your mate... Alpha Karius has the blood of a demon, Lilian. His ancestor was mated to a demon before---" Jackson was cut off from what he''s saying when Lilian suddenly chuckled and shook his head exaggeratedly. "That''s impossible, Jackson. I know he''s a pure blooded wolf." Well, he would never be an alpha if he''s a half demon. Demons are known for being evil. "Still, he has a demon''s blood running through his veins. I know it''s hard to believe but that''s the truth." "No. He''s not." Lilian shook her head again. "If he''s also a demon, why is he not killing everyone? From what I know about a demon, they have no ability to think properly just like a rogue. So, care to exin that to me?" She raised a brow. "Because he''s just hiding it! He''s an alpha and has a huge self control to his body! That exins why!" Jackson said, almost shouting. Good thing they are near the falls so it will be safe for them to not be heard by anyone. Lilian still shook his head. "No, I refuse to believe what you''re saying, Jackson," she said as she stood up from where they were sitting. "I need to go." She''s about to turn around to go back but Jackson was able to hold her arm, stopping her from leaving. "I still haven''t told you something." "What is it? Tell me now." "The wolf that has been rewarded by the moon goddess... it was you, Lilian. Alpha Calista saw you in her dreams. It was your face... and she saw how you end the life of Alpha Karius ruthlessly." For some reason, Lilian paled at what she heard. She suddenly couldn''t move. She couldn''t even say a word! Her? The wolf that has been rewarded by the moon goddess? That''s impossible! "If you''re just going to joke around, much better if you leave now. You''re saying nonsense, Jackson. This is such a waste of time! How will that even happen if I''m just an omega?" Jackson sighed, as if he could understand what she felt. "It will happen, Lilian. The vision of your C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org mother was never wrong," he said so surely. 45: The Lennox Family 45: The Lennox Family CHAPTER 45: The Lennox Family ALPHA KARIUS, TOGETHER with the pack warriors decided to guard the ces that rogues would possibly attack. He doubled the security of his pack, especially the school of pups since that''s thest ce where there''s a rogue attack. Meanwhile, Lilian doesn''t even know how she was able to get back to Alpha Karius'' mansion that day. She was still confused about her conversation with Jackson. And what she doesn''t really believe that much is the part where Jackson said that she''s the wolf that has been rewarded by the moon goddess to end the darkness in this world! It''s really impossible. She''s just an ordinary omega, nothing is really special with her. But aside from that, what she found out about Alpha Karius being a half demon still bugs her mind. She needs proof in order to believe it. But the other part of her brain is also saying that it''s not true. He''s not a demon. Maybe Jackson was just ying with her mind or lying to her. But then Jackson is not a man like that. He''s not the type that would really y around. "Nadia, where''s Alpha Karius?" Lilian asked the old maid as soon as she entered the house. It was already six in the evening when she reached the house. She had fun talking with the wolves in the vige though, even if she didn''t look and talk to Jackson anymore after their conversation near the falls. "He informed me earlier that he will bete in going home, Luna. He will guard the whole area together with the pack warriors." She nodded. "Okay. I''ll use the library, then." "Uh... may I know why, Luna?" Nadia''s brows furrowed. She doesn''t know why Luna Lilian suddenly wants to use the library. And also, Alpha Karius doesn''t really let anyone enter his library that much unless he has permission. But then it''s the Luna... so maybe he won''t make that much fuss about it? Maybe Alpha Karius won''t be mad... She raised a brow. "Why are you even asking? Of course, I''d like to read something. I''m kinda bored..." Her tone was a bit annoyed, and it was enough to make Nadia scared. "I''m sorry, Luna..." Nadia bowed her head, afraid that she annoyed the Luna. "I''ll just go back to my work." She''s about to go but then an idea suddenlyes to Lilian''s mind. "Oh, wait, Nadia." Lilian called and stopped her. "What is it, Luna?" Nadia''s brows furrowed a bit. "Hmm. How long have you been working for Alpha Karius?" she asked her curiously. Nadia tilted her head a bit as if she was thinking about Lilian''s sudden question. "I couldn''t remember exactly anymore but I''ve been here ever since Alpha Karius was still a kid. I started working for their family when I was still a teen, Luna," she answered. Even though Nadia was actually curious why Lilian suddenly asked her about it, she didn''t voice out about it anymore, afraid that she might just annoy her even more. Lilian nodded, a conclusion suddenly came to her mind. If there''s someone that has knowledge about Alpha Karius'' family, that would be Nadia. Maybe she could ask her some questions the next day. She will use her authority as the Luna fot Nadia to not tell their conversation to anyone if ever. "Okay. That''s... all. You may go back now," Lilian said and even smiled a bit that really surprised Nadia. After a couple of seconds, Lilian immediately went to the library of Alpha Karius'' house. As soon as she N?velDrama.Org (C) content. entered the library, she couldn''t help but to feel amazed knowing howrge the shelves were. It was full of books and some were already old which were separated to other shelves. There''s a table at the corner near the ss window making the light outside prate the insides of the library. There are some piles of papers above it and ampshade. She went to it closer and her brows furrowed when she saw the frame on the left side of the table. It was her, smiling widely but she''s not looking at the camera. It was a candid picture of her and she''s not even aware if Alpha Karius took it. Her cheeks heated instantly. How could he even disy her picture there? Her wolf is even liking the idea of Alpha Karius disying her picture which made her roll her eyes despite the fast beating of her heart. Lilian just averted her gaze from the picture frame to some other things and focused her mind to her real purpose why she''s there. She doesn''t have the time to check more things anymore and starts finding some things that may prove that Alpha Karius might really be a... half demon. She couldn''t ept it. She needs proof. If ever that it''s even true... she''s not sure anymore if what she is going to do in the future. "Damn, where should I start?" She asked herself looking at the shelves full of books before sighing deeply. She doesn''t really know where to start since the library was so wide! Her eyes went to the old books at the far corner shelf. Well, if it''s about the history of Alpha Karius'' family, maybe it''s there on the old ones, right? So, that''s the first spot of Lilian to find some proof. She opened some books and some of them are written in a differentnguage which made her really curse in her head. She doesn''t know how to read it! She doesn''t have any other choice but to look for the other books instead of sticking on trying to read the same book. A certain book caught her attention. It was a book with ck hardbound cover. It has no cover page which is really odd. She opened it and was surprised to see that what''s inside is some photographs of Alpha Karius when he was young. This is him, he''s sure about it. Her wolf could even recognize him. "How cute..." Lilian couldn''t even help but toment since she''s not even expecting it that it was him! He looked chubby in the pictures when he was young. A grin formed on her lips while looking at those pictures. She flipped some pages and the pictures are mostly about him with a short paragraph written below. Even the tiniest details are also written there, from the favorite animal he loved to draw when he was young, to some of the significance happenings in his life. It was all there. But what really caught her attention is the certain page where it has been ripped off from the book. It was as if someone just purposely ripped it since the next pages are still intact on the book. "Okay... that''s odd." Her brow raised a bit on what she saw before she moved to the other books. "Found it," she whispered to herself when she saw the book with a ''Lennox Family'' written on the cover page. She just hopes that the answer that she has been looking for is here. At the first pages, it was written there the origin of the Lennox family''s surname. Their main root is mostly from Ennd. It was said that they are one of the wealthiest n of wolves even before since their ancestors believed that they were hiding gold bars in a safe ce where only a few of the family could ess. Lilian decided to flip the next pages and gasped. The next pages show the family tree of the whole Lennox family and their mates, from their first ancestors down to Alpha Karius. The side of Alpha Karius is still empty, which means the book is not updated. Above Alpha Karius is her mother and father and then above them is an old woman... without a man beside her. It looks like it was her grandmother. Her name is Margareth Bya Lennox. But why is the picture of her mate not there? It doesn''t make sense. "Is she mateless?" Lilian asked as her brows furrowed. If she''s mateless then... Howe that she has a son? Or... was she impregnated by a wolf that''s not even her mate? That''s another possible reason but she doesn''t want to jump into conclusion without reading more about it. She tried flipping the page again and gulped. For some reason, sweat started to trickle down the side of her face. She''s suddenly getting nervous about the next thing that she will find out and she doesn''t even know why! Lilian was trembling as she flipped the next pages of the book and another gasp escaped from her lips. It was written there why Magareth Bya Lennox didn''t publicize her mate. It was because she was... vited by a demon. Lilian doesn''t know what to feel anymore. Her insides are grumbling on what she just found out as the hairs on her nape rose. Her eyes widened in so much shock. Goodness! She suddenly regretted what she''s doing right now. Even though she was trembling so hard already, she still flipped the next page. And there... The page had some information about Alpha Karius'' father. It was written there his achievements and everything that he did when he was still the Alpha of the Moon Stone pack. But then it was also written there that after her mother, Margareth gave birth to him, she died. And it was then found out that the demon''s blood wasn''t running in Alpha Karius'' father''s veins that maybe, he wasn''t able to inherit it. Some witch was able to examine him and they all confirmed that he doesn''t have the demon''s blood that vited his mother, Margareth. But that only leads to another possibility that Alpha Karius was maybe the one who inherited the demon''s blood instead. "Fuck..." Lilian cursed as she closed the book with her trembling hands. She can''t continue the next page anymore. She suddenly doesn''t want to confirm it because she''s sure to herself that she won''t be able to ept it. After sighing deeply and calming herself, she was about to put back the book but she ended up putting it behind her when the door of the library suddenly opened, revealing Alpha Karius. "Hi, love..." he greeted with a small smile on his lips. Lilian suddenly felt... cold. She doesn''t know how to even react around him anymore. 46. The Scent 46. The Scent CHAPTER 46: The Scent "HAVE YOU FOUND something suspicious? Any traces?" Alpha Karius asked one of the pack warriors that hemanded to go near the boundary of the pack to report. "Alpha Karius... I think you need to see this. We found a strange creature near the boundary that suddenly attacked one of the warriors but we''re d we were able to stop it," said Rodent, one of the pack warriors with his most serious tone. Alpha Karius nodded his head. "I''ll check on it." He looked at the other wolves. "Matteo, take charge." Hemanded the other pack warrior to guard the school of pup. "Copy, Alpha." Alpha Karius nodded once again before he went to the boundary where Rodent was talking about. It makes him curious about what it is. Since the ce was just near, they reached the ce immediately and even they''re just a few meters away from the other wolves, Alpha Karius could already smell something strange and unpleasant near them. He quickly went to the direction of the smell and saw something that made his eyes widened a bit. The creature was half human with sharp horns and bloody red eyes that looked like a vampire. The disgusting smell of the creature made him frown a bit. Its nails are sharp with a long tongue that''s sticking out, kissing the ground, with sharp fangs. "Do you know what that creature is?" Calyx asked. He''s one taking charge guarding here. "I have a hunch what that creature is but I''d like to confirm it from you." Alpha Karius sighed as he clenched his jaw. His hand also balled into fist as his eyes turned to slit. "Of course, I know this kind of creature..." he answered, ring at the dead creature. He knows about it. It was a demon. *** ALPHA KARIUS DECIDED to go home after the pack warriors disposed of the demon. He went home with his mind upied, clenching his jaw, thinking how did that happen? Why are demons suddenly here in his pack? It was rming since there''s a possibility that they will attack again. Damn, he''s still having problems with the rogues and now... this. His head suddenly aches with these problems that his pack is facing now. Aside from that, his mind couldn''t help but to remember something after seeing the demon. A small piece of his identity about those freatuy that he couldn''t ept until now. A part of himself that he wished that he couldn''t have... He was zoning out until he reached his mansion. The first thing he finds is his mate. He immediately went to Lilian''s room and checked on her but then no one''s answering when he was knocking on her door. He suddenly saw Nadia going towards his direction. "Nadia, where''s Lilian?" Alpha Karius asked her. "He''s inside the library, Alpha." Nadia looked down a bit. "Uh... I-I''m sorry, Alpha. I know you''re not really letting anyone enters the library without your permission--" "It''s fine." Alpha Karius cut her off from speaking. Well, he made it clear to all of them before that he''s not allowing anyone to enter his library without his permission. Aside from that, there are many important files inside the library so he''s really strict on that rule. But then, it was Lilian so it''s fine. He trusts her. "You can let her anytime she wants to go there. It''s fine with me." Nadia nodded her head. "I''ll take note of that, Alpha." Alpha Karius just nodded and went to the library. He opened the door immediately and smiled as soon as he saw Lilian''s pretty face. "Hi, love..." he said as he entered his library. His brows furrowed a bit when he read her expression. Lilian looked tense a bit as she bit her lower lip. It took her a couple of seconds before she blinked as if she went back in trance. "H-Hey. I thought you''re going homete?" she asked, still not moving that much on her spot. Of course, she couldn''t move because the book is still behind her. She''s holding it properly to hide it from him. She wouldn''t risk being caught by him sneaking inside the library finding some confidential information about him and his family. Alpha Karius'' brow raised a bit in confusion. He wanted to go to her since he actually missed her the whole day even though they are just staying in one house. After what happened for this day, Alpha Karius suddenly felt exhausted and wanted to rest. And only Lilian could give him that. Sighing, Alpha Karius was about to go in her direction when they both heard another knock on the door, making him go to it and open it again. Meanwhile, Lilian took that as a chance to put the book back in its original ce when she saw it quickly. Fortunately, she was able to do that smoothly as she maintains her normal expression. "Dinner is ready, Alpha, Luna..." It was Nadia. Alpha Karius just nodded. "We''re going downter." Nadia just nodded before she left. Alpha Karius went to Lilian''s direction but then the picture frame caught his attention and smiled. "You probably saw it..." he said. He''s talking about her picture. Lilian just nodded. "Yeah. Why would you even disy my picture there anyway?" He shrugged his shoulders and smirked. "I always like to stare at a masterpiece, you know," he answered, making Lilian blush. "That''s why your picture is there..." Oh, goodness. His words are making her heart flutter! She doesn''t know what to feel around him anymore. After what she found out, she doesn''t really think that she could still act normally around him... knowing that he''s a... half demon. There''s a possibility that he might get triggered that will show his demon side. But she just hopes that he won''t. She wanted to be more careful of her moves around him from now on. Because it would probably be dangerous if he would show that side of him. Lilian wanted toy low for now and maybe... forget about her revenge for the meantime? "Tss. You and your flowery words..." She rolled his eyes. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. He just chuckled and went to her. He held Lilian''s hand and kissed it. But then, he suddenly became serious when he realized something. She smells something different... like someone just touched her since the scent was left on her skin. Her brows furrowed when he was able to realize that faint smell on Lilian. That man... Alpha Karius is having a bad feeling about this. 47. The Villain 47. The Viin CHAPTER 47: The Viin "WHY ARE YOU giving that to... me?" Lilian asked Alpha Karius, seeing him holding a red rose in his hand the next day. He''s still in the mansion and is about to leave. Alpha Karius shyly scratched the back of his hand and smiled a bit. "Does it need an asion for me to give you this?" He chuckled. Well, he suddenly thought that he never tried giving flowers to her even before because they were too careful with their situation. He actually wanted to court her, to always make her feel special because she deserves it. She deserves every special thing in this world and he will give it to her as long as he can. Lilian looked away, feeling her cheeks blushed profusely on the simple rose that he gave her. It''s just a simple flower but it was enough for her heart to thump wildly against her chest. She was hesitant at first but she epted the rose from Alpha Karius and smelled it with a small smile forming on her lips. Even though her mind is saying that she should not ept it, her heart and her wolf is just betraying her. "You don''t have to." She gulped then cleared her throat. Goodness. She should be mean to him! Why does she suddenly can''t find her own voice?! And why does her heart won''t even stop from beating so fast? "I know but I want to." He let out a deep sigh. "I... never really tried courting you before. I want to do it this time. I''ll make sure that I''ll always make you feel special everyday..." "This is too... cringe." She frowned and acted like she''s disgusted with his words but Alpha Karius seems to be pleased at her expression. He chuckled looking at her face. "Don''t you like it? Well, maybe, I''ll think of some strategy next time. It seems like you''re not really fond of flowers." Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to feel disappointed in himself. This is the first time and yet... he failed. But then, there''s always next time... What should he do next? Hmm, maybe giving her sweet letters? Choctes? Expensive gifts? Well, he''s been really reading some things about courtships on humans. Maybe he could apply it to her, too. He tried to get rid of the negative feeling in his system right now. The scent that lingers on Lilian the other day... it was so familiar with him but he chose to not pay too much attention to it anymore. It''s just a waste of time. And maybe... he doesn''t want to get hurt if ever his hunch is right. So, he shrugged off that bad feeling creeping in his head and chose to just enjoy every moment that he has with Lilian. Lilian just kept her mouth shut, not really knowing what she would say. She just looked away as she breathed out heavily. "I''ll go now. The pack has been really at stake the past few days after the school has been attacked by a rogue, so..." He shrugged his shoulders. "I''ll be really busy the following days." "What time are you going hometer?" She asked, suddenly regretting it because she sounds like a clingy wife! Why would she even ask that?! Alpha Karius smirked. "I will always go home to you, don''t worry but I''ll try to make it earlier this time. I don''t want to risk the pack from this... creatures lurking recently, it''s getting rming." He sighed. "What... creatures?" Her brows furrowed curiously. "Demons." Lilian tried so hard to hide the shock in her face. There''s a demon lurking in the pack already... That means it will be very dangerous for the wolves here. But then she couldn''t help but to also think about him. He''s also a half demon. Is he even aware of his real identity? She wanted to ask him badly but her mouth wouldn''t even cooperate. And aside from that, she''s also scared of the things that she will find out. "Uh... I have to go. I couldn''t bete for my alpha duties." He smiled a bit before he leaned down to give her a kiss on the lips. Lilian blinks at his sudden bold move. But before she could even react, he already moved away swiftly and walked away from him. She just shook her head and held her chest. That man has all the powers to make her feel the different emotions in just one time. *** THAT DAY, LILIAN doesn''t really have ns to go out. She wanted to just stay inside the mansion the whole day since she doesn''t really have a mood to interact that much with some wolves. "Luna, there are letters for you..." She looked at Fina, one of the helpers in the mansion. She just found out about her name recently since she''s not really giving too much attention to them. Fina is holding a bunch of letters in her hand as she hesitantly gives it to her. "Who gave those letters?" Lilian asked her. "From the pups in school, Luna. They wanted to give you a letter after you saved them from the rogue that suddenly attacked at school." Lilian nodded before she epted the letters. Secondster, Fina bowed her head a bit and excused herself. Lilian sat down on the sofa and smiled a bit when she looked at the cute letters. She spent her time reading the letters one by one while giggling. Two of them even made it as a confession letter, it was from Simon and Axel. She remembered them pretty well. They are so adorable. Reading their letters is a breath of fresh air. She forgot about everything that''s bugging her mind for the meantime. When she''s down on thest letter, Lilian''s brows furrowed. It was weird since the front is designed with some cute doodles and when she opened it, a familiar handwriting weed her. ''Let''s meet again, Lilian. I''ll wait for you in the same ce where west talked to each other.'' -J'' Lilian''s brow shut up a bit. She knows the handwriting so well. It was Jackson''s. She sighed, and stood up. Now, she needs to meet him after she confirmed Alpha Karius'' identity. She indeed went near the waterfalls where theyst talked to each other and immediately saw him. "What do you want, Jackson?" Lilian asked him. Jackson sighed. "I''ve heard some things here in the pack... about the rogue attacks." Her brows furrowed. "What about it, then?" "Many wolves saw you shifted to a bigger wolf. Some are shocked about it, especially the other omegas who knew about you before and they were really surprised." He shrugged. "They didn''t put too much attention on it since they thought it''s just normal since you''re now mated to the Alpha. But I doubt that..." Her brows furrowed, realizing that Jackson was able to gather that information in just a short period of time. He was able to make the wolves here tell him about those things about her. He got their trust so easily that Lilian couldn''t help but to re at him a bit. "So, what do you want to believe, then?" Lilian already has a hunch where this talk will take them. "I know what you''re thinking, Jackson. I told you, it''s impossible. There''s nothing special about me. I''m just an omega!" She refused to believe what he told her because it''s really impossible. There''s no way that she could be that wolf that has ordinary strength and power. Even though she doesn''t want to admit it to herself, she''s still weak because she''s an omega. "No, Lilian. You''re not just an omega, don''t belittle yourself. The moon goddess has bestowed you with ordinary strength so it''s time for you to use it and to save everyone." He paused a bit and let out a deep sigh. "If you don''t know yet, one of the wolves has been attacked by a demon recently. Don''t wait those creatures attack everyone here and die without doing anything..." She gulped, suddenly remembering what Alpha Karius told him. If she''s indeed rewarded by the moon goddess, then that means she needs to kill all the evil creatures including demons. And that also means she has to... kill Alpha Karius when the timees since he''s also one of them. He has demon blood running through his veins. "I... I c-can''t..." She shook her head a bit, suddenly scared of the responsibility that the moon goddess gave her. "That''s why I''m here, Lilian. I''ll help you. Trust me, hmm? You have to trust me this time." Lilian just looked at Jackson when he suddenly held her shoulders and looked at her. She let out a deep sigh, finally made her own decision... *** CLARINE, THE HEAD of the Omegas went out early to harvest vegetables in her backyard. She was humming a song as she stepped on the ground with a small smile on her lips. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "Woah, you all grow up so fast, babies!" rine giggled as she picked the eggnt for her foodter. She treats her nts like her babies. "But, sadly, I''m gonna eat you all now..." She pouted as if the vegetables could even understand her. rine spent all her time harvesting her vegetables not knowing that someone was staring at her from behind. "Wow. That''s a lot." rine gasped at the sudden voice behind her. She turned around, only to see the very familiar woman just a meter away from her. She knows her well. Fear crept in her system as she stared at her now. She still looked the same. rine wouldn''t deny the fact that she did really be prettier but she doesn''t have the courage to voice it out anymore since she suddenly felt scared around her. "G-Gianna..." rine called her name. "You have a very sharp memory, huh." Gianna took a step closer, making rine unconsciously step back a bit. Howe she''s here again? rine knew that Alpha Karius made her leave forcefully before after everything that she did. But why is she here again? Gianna giggled again. "Sorry, dear but I need your body," she said and without further ado, she went to rine and raised her hand. She lifted rine on her neck, choking her like she weighed nothing at all. She sucked all her energy until rine was not breathing anymore. Secondster, Gianna smirked evilly. "Well, well... it''s time for the viin to make her move..." she whispered before she took over rine''s lifeless body. 48. The Trainings With Jackson 48. The Trainings With Jackson CHAPTER 48: The Trainings With Jackson THE SCENT OF a rogue from a distance made Alpha Karius and the pack warrior''s rmed. They are busy guarding the ce, making sure that they wouldn''t miss any rogue or demons. They immediately went to the direction where it came from and they were led to the house of the head of Omegas, rine. "Help! Help! Please, help me!" Alpha Karius didn''t hesitate to go there and shift to his wolf form. He saw three rogues lingering around the helpless and crying rine as she crawled back in fear. Her face is full of tears as she sobs while the rogues start to go in her direction. Alpha Karius'' wolf jumped in the air, calling the attention of the rogues and started attacking them. His canines elongated and pierced the skin of the first rogue that went to him that made it groan. He mercilessly wed its body repeatedly as the other pack warriors also attacked the other rogues. He also ripped the head of the other rogue that almost wed the other pack warrior until it groaned in so much pain. His ws and canines could really kill instantly, without giving the victim any chance to heal. It''s his ability as an Alpha. The smell of blood lingers in the air as the rogues were thrown on the ground harshly. Momentster, they were able to kill them all in just a couple of seconds. Most of the work was done by Alpha Karius. Alpha Karius went to rine who''s already shivering in fear while leaning on the tree. When she saw him approaching, she immediately calmed down and stopped from crying. "A-Alpha Karius... thank you so much for saving m-me.." she almost whispered as she was being assisted by one of the pack warriors and put it on his back, all preparing to leave the ce as soon as possible. Since it''s not safe for rine to stay in her house anymore, Alpha Karius decides to take her in his mansion for the meantime. They reached the ce and hemanded the other pack warriors to go back to their area where they are guarding since there''s a possibility that there are still rogues lingering around the pack. Nadia gave Alpha Karius a nket when he shifted back to his human form. Meanwhile, rine was escorted by Fina and the other helpers to her room. "What happened?" Lilian couldn''t help but to ask when she saw what''s happening. She looked at Alpha Karius as if there''s a big question mark on her face. It was confusing her after seeing the familiar face of rine full of fear and worry that she didn''t even dare looking at her. With his tired expression, Alpha Karius went to the confused Lilian and kissed her forehead. "She was nearly attacked by the rogues. It was a good thing that we''re just near her house since we were able to smell the rogues'' scent." Lilian couldn''t help but to gasp in worry for rine. "I-Is she okay? Did something happen to her?" He shook his head. "There''s none. We''re just on time." "What about you? Aren''t you hurt?" Lilian asked and suddenly wanted to p herself on her own questions. But then it came out naturally from her mouth, like she''s really indeed worried about him. He has traces of blood on his body. She was able to see it before he covered his nakedness with the nket that Nadia gave him. It was really a good thing that only Nadia is the only female wolf here since the other helpers assisted rine. Lilian suddenly feels irritated with the thought that someone might see Alpha Karius'' nakedness. She feels possessive to him all of a sudden and thinks that his body is for her eyes only. Lilian shrugged away that thought in her head and just looked at Alpha Karius instead. Meanwhile, Alpha Karius couldn''t help but to smirk a bit at the genuine worry in Lilian''s eyes. That only means one thing. She still cares for him. That thought was enough for him to feel special as his heart hammered so fast against his chest. "Don''t worry about me, love. I''m fine. And I heal faster than an ordinary wolf..." he assured her. It was one of his abilities as the highest rank wolf in the pack. His wound heals really fast. Lilian just nodded and sighed in relief, actually feeling good that Alpha Karius is fine. *** "SO, YOU''RE FINALLY decided, huh. What''s with the sudden change of mind?" Jackson asked when they met each other again near the falls. It became their meeting ce since it''s the best ce that no wolves would be able to hear their conversation. Jackson was actually surprised. Lilian kept on ignoring him the past days and he thought it''s time for him to give up convincing her since it seems like she''s not really interested at all. "Let''s not talk too much, Jackson. Help me train and... control my ability," she said instead and sighed deeply. "Good decision, Lilian but I''m afraid I''m not the real one who could help you in controlling your ability. I can only help you in your trainings and maybe... let''s do our sparring sessions again?" He shrugged his shoulders with a smirk on his lips. Honestly, Jackson missed his sparring sessions with Lilian. Lilian is Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. the only one who could keep up with his strength in Midnight Pack. "What do you mean you''re not the one who could help me in controlling my ability?" "I have asked someone to help us, Lilian." "Who?" Jackson looked behind him and as if on a cue, a woman from behind a tree went out. The woman was actually familiar to Lilian. It was the woman that he''s with when she saw him in the mansion. It was Nich, the blind witch. Lilian thought how could she even help her? It''s not that she''s belittling Nich''s ability but... she''s blind. "She''s Nich from Ha. She may be blind but she could help in triggering your ability, Lilian." Lilian''s brows furrowed. "How?" He smiled. "You will find out as soon as your training starts." "It''s not like I''ll do something to let out your power, Luna Lilian. It''s still all in your hands..." Nich suddenly said, making Lilian and Jackson even more confused. "What do you mean?" Lilian asked. "Your power will eventuallye out when the right timees. Let''s not rush things. All you need to do is to be ready for what will happen next because she''s already starting," Nich said meaningfully. "I saw something... about two women in Alpha Karius'' life but it was all clear to me now." Lilian slowly shook her head. "I''m still confused..." "I have no time exining things to you, but the first woman that will cause darkness in this world is none other than... Gianna." Lilian''s eyes widened in shock. That name... that familiar name! It makes her suddenly angry at the mere mention of that woman''s name again. How could she even forget the name of the woman who caused her so much pain and humiliation before?! She will never forget her! The urge of hurting her like how she did to her before suddenly came to her mind. And for some reasons, it gives so much satisfaction. Her lips pursed in madness as her hand balled into fist while the face of that woman registered in her mind again. She breathed heavily as if she went to a long race. The fast beating of her heart is one of the indications that she''s so angry with that woman named Gianna. Meanwhile, Nich couldn''t help but to smirk when she felt the sudden rage on Lilian. Her rage was mixed with something powerful and the desire to kill Gianna. "Yeah... that''s it. You should be mad at her. Rage is one of the things that could unleash your power as the chosen one. The moon goddess was never wrong for choosing you, Luna Lilian..." Nich said as Jackson was also in awe feeling Lilian''s rage. *** LILIAN''S TRAININGS went on for days. She will meet Jackson everyday to train. She would bring some extra clothes since there''s a time that she''s needed to shift in her wolf form for her training. "Woah. I still can''t get over the fact that your wolf is that big now," Jackson said as they both went back to the vige after their tiring training. Lilian already changed her clothes while Jackson is still topless. She just rolled her eyes at him and shook her head a bit. "What time is it already?" she asked him. Jackson looked at his wristwatch but then he chuckled. "Oh, it''s almost six in the evening." Lilian just nodded. At this time, Alpha Karius is still not in his mansion since he''s busy with his Alpha duties, so it''s fine with her if she''s going back a bitte. Meanwhile, what Lilian didn''t really know is the fact that Alpha Karius went home early this time since he misses her so much. He''s aching to see and hug her already. Hees homete because of his work and Lilian is already sleeping at that time, he doesn''t have the heart to wake her up. Alpha Karius decided to go to the vige where Lilian used to go the past few days. She''s really getting close to the pack again. "Have you seen my Luna?" Alpha Karius asked one of the wolves just passing by. "She''s... there, Alpha." The wolf pointed at the direction where the falls is and was about to say his thanks to the wolf when he saw two figures getting out of the woods, smiling at each other as if they had their own world. It was Lilian with a man named Jackson. From what Alpha Karius remembers, Lilian was wearing a white dress this morning but now, she''s wearing a green one that''s slightly wet from her own sweat. Meanwhile, Jackson is topless, his own body is also glistening with his sweat. Alpha Karius'' hand balled into fist as he stared at the two of them with a question forming in his head... Why are they together? But above it all, he suddenly felt the anger rising in his chest as his eyes turned to slit looking at them. 49. The Dress 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. 50. The Revenge 50. The Revenge CHAPTER 50: The Revenge THE HELPER WAS crying so hard as she led Lilian and the others to the direction where she found the dead body of Fina. The body was found in the backyard where they put the garbage bags. The ce was stinky because of the smell of garbage but what''s more disgusting is the... messy body of Fina. Lilian almost pukes at the sight of the lifeless body of Fina lying on the ground. Her heart has been wed from her chest, it''s really impossible for her to live anymore and some of her organs are scattered just beside the body. Her eyes are also wide open and her tongue is stuck out. Her blood is also sttered on the wall. It was as if someone who did this to her is a monster. She clenched her jaw when she remembered rine''s dress and the familiar scent on her again. She sighed as the realization hit her. But then... No, it''s not right to just suddenly jump to conclusions. She can''t just point her fingers to anyone easily. "Gather everyone here in the mansion and tell them I have something important to say," Lilian told the helper seriously as they both went back inside the mansion. Secondster, the helpers and guards are now in the hallway and bowed down at her as a sign of respect. Lilian made sure that she''s sporting her most formal face that will surely intimidate them. The atmosphere is kinda heavy since she''s sure by now, they already found out about Fina''s death. "I know the death of Fina, one of the helpers here in this mansion, has already reached all of you..." Lilian started. "At this moment, I want to investigate what really happened. And for your information, I won''t tolerate anyone here if I found out that one of you is the one who''s responsible for Fina''s sudden death. Now, tell me where you were before we found his body..." They were all uneasy at first and suddenly scared because of the aura of Lilian but then they still managed to talk after that. The wolves told Lilian about their alibis and what they were doing before they found out about Fina''s death one by one. She clenched her jaw multiple times, how frustrating it is knowing that their alibis was all making sense. She couldn''t just pinpoint if they are telling the truth, or This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. not. If only she had the ability to read minds... "L-Luna, aren''t you going to ask rine, too?" One of the wolves asked hesitantly. It was obvious that she''s scared but she still managed to ask her that. Lilian looked up at the room where rine is currently staying. rine immediately went there after she called all the helpers and guards of the mansion. She didn''t bother calling her anymore since she''s being considerate on her trauma. But then she couldn''t help but to specte. And the neckline of her dress... It''s possible that it was blood but she wasn''t able to sniff it properly since the scent of the steak she was eating was more strong. This only means one thing. She needs proof. She needs to observe rine''s every move just to make sure if she''s really hiding something under her sleeves. There''s a possibility that she could be the one who killed Fina... *** ALPHA KARIUS WENT back to his mansion as soon as he found out about Fina''s death. He was weed by rine''s hug, making him gasp a bit. He didn''t expect that! He was caught off guard and doesn''t have the courage to push her away since it may only cause her stress. He''s notfortable with her hug but he still endured it. "F-Fina is dead, Alpha Karius. We found her body at the back of the m-mansion!" rine cried on his chest and buried her face there. He had no other choice but to lift his hand and tapped her back a bit, Meanwhile, Lilian was actually shocked by what she saw just a few meters away from her. She doesn''t want to think bad about rine but... how could she hug her mate like that? She did it just in front of her! It was a disrespectful move towards her as the Luna and the mate of the man he''s hugging. Lilian tried so hard to stop herself from wing her off from Alpha Karius and just sighed deeply. Something is really not right here. rine is not like her usual self. Alpha Karius looked at Calyx who just came inside. "Calyx, investigate what happened," he found the body. Secondster, he looked at rine again and Lilian couldn''t believe how gentle his gaze was towards her! Wow. Right in front of her! His mate! Is he doing it purposely? Lilian is not sure anymore as her hand suddenly balled into fist. Heck, it feels like she will die in jealousy at this moment! "I''ll take you to your room, rine. You need to rest," Alpha Karius almost whispered to her and rine just nodded as he let her guide her gently. Lilian was hurt, of course! He''s still ignoring her like she''s not existing at all. She watched how he held rine like a fragile crystal as they both made their way to her room. He didn''t even bother to look back at Lilian. She''s his mate! Why can''t he just look at her?! No, this is not happening... After a couple of seconds, Alpha Karius went down and Lilian decided to talk to him this time. She can''t stop herself anymore. They both need to fix their issues. "Alpha Karius..." She called his name when he''s about to head to the entrance of the mansion. He looked at her without any hint of emotion in his eyes. "Yes?" His brow arched a bit like he was taunting her. But she won''t back down this time! She tried to not look down and just meet his intense gaze. "Can we talk?" She finally asked her. "Sure, what is it?" He shrugged his shoulders. Lilian wanted to sigh in so much relief at his answer. "Uh... Is rine okay now?" She asked instead, an idea suddenly came to her mind. "Not really sure about that. As you can see, after she almost got attacked by the rogue, her mental health has been affected so badly." "I understand, but... is it really that... bad? W-Why are you taking your attention... uh, too much on her?" There. She finally said it. Oh, goodness. This is harder than she thought! He suddenly chuckled without any hint of emotion in his eyes. "Oh, so you''re putting a meaning on it, huh." Lilian immediately shook her head. "N-No, it''s not like that--" "Stop putting meaning on how I care towards rine, Lilian. I''m just doing what an Alpha should do to his own pack. That''s the right thing to do as rine is still a member of this pack." He paused a bit. "And besides, you didn''t hear me talking about seeing you with that fucking man named Jackson full of sweats, so be fair," he added before he turned around and left the mansion. Lilian was dumbfounded at his words. Goodness. He''s still mad. *** "WHAT? AREN''T YOU in the mood to train this time?" Jackson asked when he saw how off Lilian''s mood was. She just sat there on a big rock where they usually rest sometimes, not really in the mood to train after her talk with Alpha Karius. She felt weak. Lilian let out a deep sigh. "I''m just... thinking." She shrugs her shoulders. Jackson''s brows furrowed on her mood. He can''t help but to sigh deeply. "Then would it be fine if you tell me about it? You know, I''m a good listener but I''m not that good at giving advice." Jackson asked as he sat down beside her too. Well, that''s a fact about Jackson. He''s the type of man that would listen to Lilian''s rants and he won''t be bored because of it. He''s just listening until she''s tired from voicing out what she feels. She shrugged his shoulders. "Alpha Karius is mad at me..." she told him as she looked down and yed with her own hands. "Is that even a big deal? It shouldn''t be, right? Have you forgotten your purpose for why you''re here?" That made her stop thinking. Yeah, it shouldn''t be but her heart just keeps on aching inside. This only means one thing... She fell for him for the second time. Lilian wanted so badly tough at herself right now but she doesn''t have the energy to do it. Goodness. It never crosses her mind that she will admit her feelings towards him again. She''s in love with him again... but did she even fall out of love? Her memories in the Midnight pack suddenly crossed her mind. She never tried entering a rtionship before after her rtionship with Alpha Karius. Maybe deep inside her, she''s still waiting for him. Her wolf loves him so much, too. Oh, goodness... how pathetic her feelings could be? And now, he''s putting so much attention to rine. Tears suddenly brim at the corner of her eyes thinking that one day, he could break their bond as mates for her. She couldn''t imagine that thing to happen in the future! It will surely hurt her to death. "You know, it actually hurts how you tell me those things about him while I''m the one who''s here..." Jackson chuckled but it didn''t reach his eyes. Lilian''s brows furrowed as she looked at him seriously, suddenly confused on what he said. "What do you mean?" He sighed deeply. "I don''t have ns to confess now but... well, it''s still no use. He''s already your mate. I can''t do anything about it anymore. I like you, Lilian, if that thing is still not obvious." Jackson couldn''t help but to smile bitterly. He wanted to just put his feelings aside and focus as Lilian''s friend but he doesn''t want to regret not telling her. Lilian was just staring at him, she couldn''t believe that he''s confessing towards her. Well, she already had a hunch before when they were still in Midnight Pack but hearing it from him now feels... weird since Jackson is like a brother to her. She didn''t talk after a couple of seconds, still staring at him. They were both silent as they looked into each other''s eyes. Until Jackson suddenly leaned down towards her, aiming to kiss her lips. The image of Alpha Karius ignoring her and choosing rine suddenly came to her head. And because of it, she let Jackson kiss her. It was a feather-like kiss, she almost didn''t feel it. She was about to close her eyes to feel the kiss but then a tall man from a few distance away caught her attention, making her push Jackson harshly. "What?" Jackson asked, confused. "A-Alpha Karius..." She called his name. She doesn''t hesitate to stand up from where she''s sitting anymore, not minding the confused Jsckson and goes in his direction. He''s so mad right now. His canines elongated as he clenched his jaw. "So, this is what your revenge tastes like, huh. Fucking sweet. But it hurts like hell," he said and turned around to leave her. 51. The Real Clarine 51. The Real rine CHAPTER 51: The Real rine "ALPHA KARIUS, WAIT!" Lilian shouted and followed Alpha Karius quickly. His pace was fast but she was d that she was able to keep up with him. She held his arm and to her surprise, he pulled his hand away from her harshly and looked at her with his clenched jaw. It was as if he was so disgusted with her touch. There''s suddenly a huge lump in her throat making it hard to breathe. She gasped a bit seeing how serious his face is but she gulped and said, "P-Please, let''s talk. I can exin..." Alpha Karius chuckled without any trace of humor in his tone. He can''t believe that Lilian still has the guts to exin to him what he saw. It was crystal clear to him. She kissed another man. And it fucking hurts like hell. So, this is how he is going to taste his own medicine now, huh? "What else do you need to exin, huh? I saw it with my own two eyes, Lilian. I ain''t that stupid to not know that you let another man kiss you like that!" He spat, angrily as he inhaled a deep breath, trying to calm himself. His hand balled into fist. He wanted to punch someone right now and let out all his frustrations and anger! He wanted to divert his attention to other things to forget what he saw because it hurts him to the core! Oh, damn. He knew that maybe this was all part of her n to hurt her but it still hurts! He should be ready that this day wille... Maybe Calyx was right. She will be the cause of his downfall someday. And from what he feels right now, it feels like his heart has been stamped on the ground a couple of times. "I-I''m.. I''m sorry..." Lilian almost whispered as she looked down, suddenly feeling ashamed to even meet Alpha Karius'' gaze. His eyes are bloodshot, full of hatred and frustrations right now. "I... I didn''t mean to..." She can''tpletely form her words anymore as her tears suddenly brim at the corner of her eyes. She''s also hurting just by seeing the hurt in his eyes. Oh, goddess. What has she done? Why is her heart also hurting right now? "You didn''t mean to kiss him? Is that it?" He chuckled again. "Well... nevermind. I''m so stupid to fall into your trap... to fall into your own game... your sweet fucking revenge." He shook his head disappointedly. "Did you enjoy hurting me, hmm? Did you enjoy hurting me to the bone, love?" The words that escaped from his mouth werece with bitterness and pain. Love. Lilian can''t believe that that endearment is hurting her now. He still called her that way even though he''s already hurting. She wasn''t able to form the right words anymore as she let her tears stream down her face. "Don''t fucking cry on me! This is what you like, right? This is what you desire the most! To see me hurting." He paused a bit as he let out a deep sigh. "Fuck. It hurts like hell! Seeing the woman that I truly love... my mate... kissing someone else is like a damn suicide. Is it satisfying that your revenge works on me, huh? Is it?!" Lilian almost jumped from where she''s standing when he raised his voice at him. "P-Please, let''s talk calmly about our issues. You don''t have to... s-shout," she still manages to say as she tries to look up at him and meet his angry and dark eyes. She was suddenly intimidated a bit on how he stared at her. "Hah! Congrattions, love. Your revenge to hurt me worked! It fucking works!" He looked up a bit and smiled sarcastically, like he can''t also believe that it happened to him... like maybe it was just part of his imagination. "I know you nned all of this but... fuck, I still can''t believe it. I actually gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought that I could maybe change your mind. I thought you could love me again for the second time but I was wrong... I was so damn wrong to think about it. I realized that I was just imagining things... that you will be for me again like our first time but it turns out I was wrong." She gasped, suddenly find the courage to talk. "Alpha Karius... yes, I a-admit, it was all part of my revenge. I was h-hurt. And I lost our first... c-child. This ce was the very dear reminder of the memories I loathed the most. And you chose to break me... And I med you for the death of our little angel. Aside from that... I e-experienced a lot of humiliation from the wolves here..." Bringing back the past again was a bit of a challenge to her. She''s still hurting as she remembers all her hardships again. It was as if it only happened yesterday! He smiled bitterly. "I understand, Lilian. I understand your pain so damn well. I guess I deserved to be hurt like this. And I''m sorry for everything that you''ve been through. I was insensitive to not remember those things that you experienced here in this pack. I apologize for the words I said to you before when I broke up with you. I didn''t mean it. I had no other choice back then..." He sighed deeply as his hands suddenly lifted to his hair and pulled it harshly. "W-What do you mean you had no other choice?" Lilian is suddenly confused by his words. Alpha Karius contemted a bit if he would say it to her now or not. But then... he thinks it''s time for her to know about it. It''s her right to know since she''s also a victim for his wrong decisions before. "I... I was informed by a witch before that there will be a rogue attack in my pack even though we have a very strong force when ites to our pack warriors, I had no other choice but to... merge with a This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. strong pack and that''s when Gianna and her father''s pack came into the picture. I... asked them a favor to make the pack stronger... They are also my priority. I''m an Alpha... I should set aside my feelings first and think about my responsibilities." He sighed. "That''s the reason why you... hurt me with those words before?" She asked, still crying silently. She suddenly couldn''t ept it. He broke her with his harsh words before because he needed to save his pack. She doesn''t know what to feel anymore... She''s torn on understanding his reason since it involves his pack and responsibilities or she wouldn''t understand his reasons. "Yes... I know it was a wrong decision but... I had no other choice. I have to protect the whole pack.." "But the rogue attack didn''t happen," she bitterly said. She knew because even though she didn''t want to hear so much about his pack before when she was in Midnight pack, she''s still updated to what''s happening to Alpha Karius and his pack because she''s hearing so much about it everywhere. He nodded. "I know, and that only means that it will still happen in the future. This time, I decided to put my trust in this pack. We won''t need another pack to help us because we can do this all together. We can beat all the rogues out there because we have unity..." He smiled sadly. "I''m sorry for my wrong decisions before." She sighed. "It already happened. And... I also need to tell you something." "What is it?" He asked, still couldn''t believe that their talk went to another matter. For some reasons, his anger towards her and that man Jackson subsided a bit but the pain in his chest is still there. He couldn''t seem to remove it from his mind, especially his wolf. Him being a possessive and territorial alpha keeps on kicking on his system and he couldn''t just shrug it away from his head. "rine... have you observed something weird about her?" His brow raised a bit. "Why?" "Nothing. I feel off around her. There''s something wrong with her--" "I know. That''s why I''m keeping her close. Don''t talk too much about it. Someone might hear you." Her eyes widened a bit as he sighed deeply. "She''s not the rine that you used to know anymore. I could already sense something off towards her when we rescued her and figured out that she''s someone else..." "W-What do you mean?" His face turned serious. "The real rine is dead. She''s Gianna. You should be careful around her from now on." 52. The Wrong Move 52. The Wrong Move CHAPTER 52: The Wrong Move "HOW DID YOU know about that?" Lilian couldn''t help but to ask him. It was as if he was so sure about what he said which really confused her. But then... she also realized that he''s not an alpha for nothing. Alpha Karius is intelligent and also observant. He sighed. "I could feel it. I know every member of my pack. And rine has been acting unusual the past few days," he answered. Well, he knew everyone in his pack. He memorized every one of the wolves as part of being an Alpha. He''s not that talking to each and everyone but he knew each one of them all. Lilian smiled bitterly. "If you already knew that she''s a different person then why did you... why did you let her touch you like that?" she asked but it was already toote to take back what she said. She sounded so jealous of rine! She wasn''t able to hold back again! Her mouth is really not cooperating sometimes. He smirked, suddenly feeling good knowing that she sounded jealous. But then his smirk was short- lived since he could remember her image kissing another man again. It just kept on ying in his mind, he couldn''t help it. He wanted to forget about it but he couldn''t. "It was all an act. If she finds out that we already know who she is, she will be rmed. The best thing to do is to act normal and make her think that I''m on her side," he told her honestly. Well, there''s nothing wrong if he will tell her his observations now. He''s been watching silently on the fake rine the past few days and he could tell that something is really off with her. Until he observed her simple gestures that he only watched on Gianna before. He kept onparing the two and it turns out Gianna possessed rine''s body and killed her. He wanted to confront her but he needed one solid n to confront her. He just can''t do something without thinking. He won''t make wrong decisions again just like before. Despite his reason, Lilian couldn''t help but to let out a deep sigh. It was all just an act but it actually pinched her heart to pieces. Seeing Alpha Karius being touched like that by another woman is not that good for her heart. What more on the next days that he needed to act? She will burst out in pain and jealousy! "How long are you... going to act?" She couldn''t help but to ask. He let out a deep sigh. "I still don''t know. I''m already nning how to capture her without her causing havoc to the pack. She''s like a ticking time bomb that''s about to explode any moment. She''s that dangerous." Lilian sighed. Yeah, she should really understand the situation and endure everything. And she has seen and felt the ruthlessness of Gianna before. But howe she became powerful like this now that she was also able to possess rine''s body? It seems like she had gained something or... she already had that kind of power before but she only let it out now. She doesn''t know anymore. "Tss. I should be mad at you right now but here we are talking about these... things." Alpha Karius scoffed when realization hit her. He should not talk like this to her now after he had hurt her! "I''m still mad at you." "I''m sorry..." Lilian whispered. "I won''t justify what you saw but it was... real. I let him kissed me and it''s truly my fault--" "Stop. You don''t have to shove it on my face anymore that you let him kiss you. I know what I saw." He cut her off from speaking as he clenched his jaw again. Lilian looked down and sighed deeply and didn''t say a word anymore, afraid that it might anger him even more. "Let''s be discreet from now on. That''s the safest thing to do right now," he said once again before sighing deeply and turned around, leaving her without saying another word. Meanwhile, Lilian was left still processing everything in her mind. So... rine and Gianna are only one but the real rine is already dead. She couldn''t help but to feel sad about that. She can''t believe it. She treated rine as her friend but... she''s gone. The real rine has been so nice to her. She let out a deep sigh again. She should be really careful from now on... now that she knows who''s the real enemy here. Gianna. That bitch won''t really stop from causing trouble, huh. *** "ALPHA KARIUS, YOU''RE here!" The sound of rine''s voice echoed in the mansion as soon as Alpha Karius entered. He stopped himself from rolling his eyes in annoyance because of her irritating voice. He prays to the goddess that he could endure this. rine clung to his arm as Lilian followed behind him. She just came inside and yet she''s going to witness this again! She wanted so badly to remove the fake rine''s hand on Alpha Karius but she just sighed to calm herself. "I''ve been waiting for you. Where have you been, hmm?" The fake rine softly asked that made Lilian roll her eyes this time. To not see them together, Lilian went straight to the kitchen to drink cold water instead. "Luna, why are you letting that woman touch Alpha Karius like that?" asked Mia, one of the helpers in the mansion. Mia is really talkative but she was quiet when Lilian just came here in the mansion. She''s actually bubbly. She''s kind of chubby and has blonde curly hair that Lilian suddenly has the urge to pinch her naturally blushing cheeks because of the cold weather. "What do you mean?" Lilian asked innocently like she doesn''t know what she means. Mia''s eyes widened a bit. "That woman named rine! She''s touching Alpha Karius like she''s his mate! And I don''t like her guts. She''s acting like the real Luna here. It reminds me of Gianna-- ops! Sorry, you didn''t hear that, Luna! I''m sorry!" Mia couldn''t help but to worry. It wasn''t new to her anymore the story of Gianna''s ruthlessness to Lilian before. She knew about how Gianna used Lilian of something that she didn''t do before so she''s kinda worried that it offended Lilian bringing up about her again. Meanwhile, Lilian didn''t mind what Mia said. Back on the first thing that Mia just said, of course, Lilian couldn''t tell her that it was all part of their n, to act like she''s not affected by Alpha Karius'' closeness to the fake rine. She shrugged. "Because I trust him. No matter how many women show signs that they like him, he''s still mine, my mate and my forever," Lilian replied, making her almost puke at her words. She just wants Mia to shut up! That''s all! But then her wolf is actually delighted with what she This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. told her. Mia suddenly smiled dreamily. "Well... I can''t me you. Alpha Karius is really a loyal man. I pray to the moon goddess that she will soon grant me a mate like him someday..." She giggled. She''s still mateless and waiting for the time that she will soon meet her mate. She wanted someone like Alpha Karius, too. Lilian just shook her head and almost scoffed at her. Mia will not find a man like Alpha Karius because he''s the only one in this world, a very rare man and she''s her mate. She didn''t tell Mia anymore, just busied herself in getting something to drink inside the refrigerator to freshen up her mind. This day has been really so stressful to her and even though Alpha Karius'' anger towards her had subsided a bit, she knew that she still needed to make up with him. Goddess. She never knew that this day woulde again. She''s so whipped towards him again! *** "SO, HOW ARE YOU with your mate?" Jackson asked the next morning when she went to their meeting ce again. Lilian wanted to ignore him and just let everything subsided a bit and to not go there for the meantime but she can''t since she can''t just shrug off her training. The situation is really getting serious as days pass by, especially now that they know who their enemy is. "Not that... good," Lilian replied, not really in the mood to tell him everything. Alpha Karius is back on ignoring her and she doesn''t know anymore if it''s still part of the ns to act normal around the fake rine! "Do you want me to talk to him?" Jackson asked as he mixed the tea on the table. They are actually in the house of one of the wolves in Moon Stone Pack. They lend a ce for Jackson to stay and he decided to move here this time since he knew that Alpha Karius is mad at him now. Alpha Karius lent him a ce to stay in his office but he moved out after what happened. The house was just small... just enough for Jackson and Nich who''s always nowhere to be found. The interior and the furniture are already old but it''s fine for Jackson. What''s important is he has a ce to stay while he''s here with Lilian. "No need," she answered. "Take this, then." He handed the tumbler with the tea that he made. "For what?" Her brows furrowed. "Give it to him as my peace offering. I know what I did is wrong and I''m still grateful that you''re treating me the same. Thank you for that..." Lilian smiled. "You''re like a brother that I never had..." Of course, she opted on not avoiding Jackson because he''s important to her. Like what she said, he''s the brother that she never had. Jackson smiled. "I know." He sighed. "It''s getting dark. You should go now. I don''t want to anger your mate even more once he finds out that we''re together again." Lilian nodded before she stood up from the old sofa. He took the tumbler and took her leave after that. *** "IS THAT FOR me?" Alpha Karius asked when Lilian handed her the tumbler. "Yeah." She looked down. She''s actually d that he''s talking to her now. She thought that he would still ignore her like earlier. "It''s a peace offering from... Jackson. He regretted what he did and he also wanted to say his apology personally but..." She shrugged. He scoffed. "I won''t ept that." Lilian gulped. "Okay. I understand. I''ll just put this here..." It was obvious that she''s sad that he didn''t ept the tumbler. Alpha Karius sighed, suddenly couldn''t take the sadness in Lilian''s eyes. Before she could even ce the tea on the table, he already epted it from her hand making her eyes widened a bit. She was about to say something when he opened the tumbler and drank the tea. But it was a wrong move... The tea was spiked... it could trigger his demon''s side. 53. The Job Well Done 53. The Job Well Done CHAPTER 53: The Job Well Done "ARGH!" ALPHA KARIUS held his neck as his throat suddenly ached for some unknown reasons. The pain escted from all over his body but it''s bearable enough for him to still stand properly. He scratched his neck as he faced the mirror inside the bathroom. Tiny beads of sweat are cascading down the side of his forehead to his neck. It feels like he''s craving for something that he can''t even name. What is happening to him now? Oh, crap. Is he in heat? He mindlessly shook his head at his own thoughts. He couldn''t be in heat when his wolf is still calm inside him. Speaking of wolf, he can''t feel him anymore. Or is he still sleeping? His wolf could be really yful sometimes. But he honestly couldn''t name what''s happening to him right now. It was actually weird for him but he felt... weak. Like something heavy trapped his chest making him keep on groaning. He coughed and spit on the sink and he was shocked to see that there was blood on his saliva. His eyes widened a bit on what he saw but he calmed himself by sighing deeply. "Fuck," he whispered as he clenched his jaw. Damn, what''s happening to him?! Is he... unwell? But he''s been perfectly fine the past few days! He couldn''t help but to feel worried about himself since he couldn''t feel his wolf inside him anymore. He tried talking to him through their mind link but he heard nothing. It''s frustrating him to the core since he doesn''t even know what''s with him now! "Alpha Karius?" He straightened his back and immediately opened the faucet to wash away the blood on the sink as he also washed his face when he heard the familiar voice of Lilian. He calmed down a bit and made sure that he''sposed enough before facing his mate. "You woke up so early again..." she whispered to him as she took closer towards his direction. She sighed. Alpha Karius is talking casually towards her now but she could still feel the gap between them after what she did... and she wanted to fix it this time. She decided that she will make everything right. She''s willing to forget the revenge that she plotted in her mind before just for him now. She wanted to start a clean te with him. Lilian never knew that this day woulde... that she would think of being back with the same man who hurted her before. But she chose to forgive him. Speaking of forgiving, she didn''t know that she was already unconsciously forgiving him. How could she not even notice it? Now, she''s willing to forget everything... their ugly memories and change it with new memories instead with him. How beautiful... but she needed to fix everything first. Lilian fought the urge to hug him behind and leaned her head on his back as she stared at their reflection in the mirror. They are so close to each other but she felt like he''s still so far away from him... it made her heart ache a bit but it''s her fault. If she didn''t kiss another man, he wouldn''t take a distance away from her. "I have my duties to do," he simply answered. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Her brows furrowed this time. Lilian knew how dedicated he is to his duties as the alpha but seeing at his restless face now, she wanted him to rest even just for a bit. "But... can''t you rest even for a day? I''m sure Calyx is also doing his best to capture Gianna--" He closed the gap between them and covered her mouth with his palm, making her gasp. "Stop. Be careful of what you''re saying. She could hear you. I told you to be careful around her from now on," he said pertaining to the fake rine. Right. She''s still in the house. Why did she even forget about that? Lilian just slowly nodded. "Uh... there''s something that I haven''t told you yet," she suddenly said when he took a step back again, removing his palm on her lips. She contemted a bit but she suddenly thought about her case being the... chosen one of the moon goddess. Maybe she could tell him now. She already thought about this thoroughly. And if she''s indeed bound to... kill Alpha Karius since he''s also a half demon, she won''t do that. Alpha Karius is harmless. That''s what she''s seeing and the truth. He will never hurt anyone around him. He''s the best Alpha and always puts his pack first before him. She won''t kill him because she can''t. It will kill her, too. "What is it?" He said as he suddenly removed his shirt in front of him casually and also his sweatpants along with his boxers. She tried to look away a bit to not get tempted with his adonis-like body. Goddess. They''re supposed to talk but here he is, taunting her with his body like what he''s doing won''t affect her at all! "Have you heard about the... moon goddess rewarding a wolf every hundred years?" she asked, trying not to stutter as Alpha Karius suddenly opened the shower, feeling the water glided down to his body. She got wet a bit and instead of stepping back, she doesn''t have the choice but to also strip off her night dress from her body casually like the way he did. Alpha Karius on the other hand couldn''t help but to gulp the moment his gazeid on Lilian''s body. She''s so damn sexy that his canines are about toe out again but the pain on his chest is really something that he couldn''t just shrug off. "Yeah. But it was all just a myth, I think," he answered instead as he closed his eyes, letting the cold water run down on his body, avoiding her. "What if it''s real?" He clenched his jaw. "If it''s real then..." he sighed deeply, not able toplete what he''s saying. If it''s indeed real, the wolf who was rewarded will kill all the evil things in this world... and he''s one of them. He knew about that. He already read something about it in some books before and learned it in his self studies. There will be someone that will end the evilness and darkness in this world. But then it''s somehow hard for him to believe since he hasn''t seen the chosen one yet. Instead of taking so much attention to his own thoughts, he pulled Lilian closer to him and kissed her hard on her lips, making her moan. His kisses were aggressive, not letting her to breathe properly as his other hand snaked around her waist tightly. His other hand went north and squeezed her bossom hard, making her groan in protest. There''s no gentleness on his kisses and touches that made Lilian pull away but he wouldn''t budge. He was so strong that it was almost impossible for her to stop him! "Hmp!" she groaned again when he bit her lower lip and snaked his tongue inside his mouth quickly, still squeezing her chest hard making her wonder what''s with his aggressive touch all of a sudden! And it seems like he''s nning to take her without her consent! Meanwhile, Alpha Karius couldn''t seem to control his own body anymore as if his own lust and desire suddenly dominated him. What he saw was pitch ck as his canines came out making him bite her lips. As soon as he had a taste of Lilian''s blood on his mouth, he broke away from the kiss like he was thrown with a bucket of ice on his head. He instantly paled seeing the helpless Lilian in front of him like she''s about to cry at his harshness. Oh, fuck. He almost forced her... Realization hits him like a damn tornado. Instead of saying a word, he went out of the bathroom to calm himself. He nearly lost it. And he thinks that he already knows what''s happening to him now. It was almost hard for him to control. His other side is about toe out again... *** THE NIGHT WAS cold and dark. The mansion was quiet since everyone was already resting in their rooms. It was perfect for someone to sneak out. rine-- or Gianna smirked as she went downstairs of the mansion barefooted with a smirk on her lips. As soon as she stepped out of the mansion, she pouted yfully when she saw that there were two wolves guarding the gates. "Where are you going, Miss rine?" asked by one of the guards. "Hmm. Well, I just want to roam around?" She smiled at them innocently. "At this hour? It''s already dark, Miss. You can do that tomorrow. It''s dangerous--" He wasn''t able toplete what he was saying anymore when she suddenly held his neck tightly so that he didn''t see iting and looked him in the eyes, hypnotizing him. "You won''t tell anyone about this..." she told him and the man just nodded his head like a damn robot. She looked at the other wolf and his eyes almost came out from its socket on what he witnessed. He was about to run but she didn''t give him the chance anymore. She also hypnotized him like the first one. "You two should be thankful that I don''t have the mood to kill someone right now." Well, she just killed one of the helpers in the mansion named Fina the other day. Someone might specte if she''s going to kill another one again. And besides, she knew that Alpha Karius is not that dumb to realize that she''s not the real rine anymore. Good thing she still has some cards to use under her sleeves. She giggled at her own thoughts as she made her way out of the mansion without anyone noticing her. She was humming a song until she reached the house of the wolf that''s on her side now. It took her a while to convince him to be on her side. "Good evening..." Gianna greeted as soon as she entered the house. "Why are you here at this moment?" He asked as he took closer towards her. "Aren''t you happy to see me? I''m here to ask you about the progress of what you did." She crossed her arms in front of her chest as she arched her brow. "Don''t worry. I was able to give the tea to Lilian. I''m sure by now, Alpha Karius already drank the tea with poison that might trigger his demon side..." He smirked. Giannaughed as she tapped his shoulder. "Job well done! Job well done... Jackson," she said with an evil smile on her lips. Now, who''s going to win in this game? 54. The Demon Form 54. The Demon Form CHAPTER 54: The Demon Form THE SMIRK ON HER lips was never erased as she sipped on the tea that Jackson made for her. Gianna never knew that she could taste this kind of drink again. It was sweet... very different from her painful past. She couldn''t help but to remember what happened before... Alpha Karius is the only man she has ever loved in this lifetime. She loves him so much and wished to the moon goddess that she will be his mate in the future. But then, maybe destiny has its own way. She was the happiest when Alpha Karius suddenly asked for her father''s pack''s help on the future rogue attacks to save his own pack. He was stressed about that problem before and of course, she talked to her father to help them. She felt bad on what''s happening to his pack that time but she also couldn''t help but to feel happy at the same time. Because for the first time, he noticed her after years of just looking at him from afar. Her heart was the happiest that time. But maybe she was too obsessed with him already to the point that she used the marriage card even though it''s only a set up to strengthen his pack. She loves Alpha Karius to the point that she''s willing to eliminate everyone who will be a hindrance to their rtionship. She could go to that extent just to have him for herself. And that''s fine to her if that''s the only way. They were both fine. Gianna settled on their so-called set up because she thought that maybe he will love her in the end too, like the way she loves him. She became the Luna of the pack for a show. She was respected by Alpha Karius'' pack and it''s one of the privileges of staying with him. She got to rule and do anything she wanted without anyment from anyone. She''s the Queen in his pack, and she''s liking it so much. But it was all short-lived. She was wrong when she thought that she could live with all the privilege of being Alpha Karius'' Luna. Because she found out that he''s having a rtionship with an Omega. A damn omega! An omega who has the lowest pack among all the wolves! An omega who''s the weakest of all! She can''t believe that of all the wolves in the pack, he chose her! What did he even see in her? What''s so special with that woman that she was able to get Alpha Karius'' attention?! It angers Gianna to the core! Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. She couldn''t ept it! So, she did all her best to remove her in his life. She made a decision to use her fake Luna card to remove her in his pack. She made everyone hate that omega. She thought it was all fine, because the majority of the pack was on her side. Everyone looks up to her. But then it didn''t turn out well. Alpha Karius was so mad when he found out everything that she did to the omega. He was so mad that he made her leave! Alpha Karius forced her to leave his pack and what''s really worse is her own father disowned her for what she did. Everyone suddenly hated her. The world suddenly turned upside down. But even though so many unfortunate things happened to her, she found strength on the other side... the evil and darkness. She became evil because they all made her to be one! Now, it''s time for her to make a move and get what''s truly hers! Most especially, she will get Alpha Karius... There''s no doubt about that. She will get him even if he''s already mated to that woman. If she needs to repeat another mistake again, then she will do it in a heartbeat! "You should go now. They might think you are staying here long." Gianna put down the cup of tea on the table and stared at Jackson. She smirked at him. She never knew that she could get his loyalty that easily because of his feelings towards that woman. Jackson... he''s in love with Alpha Karius'' mate. And she never knew that he''s also willing to betray her to have her in the end. That''s how cunning he is... a traitor. "I''m still enjoying my tea here. Are you that desperate to make me leave?" She said as she still smiled at him. "And don''t you want us to discuss what you want in return for what you did for me?" Jackson was one of her easiest targets. He''s maybe strong physically but his mind is easily swayed by his own desires. His feelings for that omega made him like this. Somehow, Gianna couldn''t help but to also see herself in him. They are both willing to do everything to have the love of their lives. He sighed as he sat on the chair just in front of her. She doesn''t really like to stay that long here but she would like to piss Jackson even more. She knows that he''s actually annoyed to see her but he''s just putting up with her whims since he wants something in return from her. "Fine," he answered as he clenched his jaw. "Good. You know that I''m only the one who could help you get the woman that you want." She smirked at him again. Well, she''s telling the truth. If there''s anyone who could match the moon goddess, then that will be her. That''s how powerful she is now. He sighed. "Then tell me how I could even do it. I did what you wanted. I hypnotized Lilian using the scent of wolfsbane that would make her kiss me while Alpha Karius is watching. I also made him drink the tea that has poison." He clenched his jaw. She couldn''t help but to chuckle at what he said. Jackson is right though. It was all her idea to make him do that. And like a loyal dog, Jackson did all of it in a heartbeat for his pathetic love towards that omega. "It seems like you''re getting impatient, dear. Don''t worry. Your hard work will pay off soon. I promise you that once everything is in the right ces, I will break Alpha Karius and that woman''s mate bond.." she smiled evilly. "Because there''s no other woman that''s suited to Alpha Karius but me. Only me..." *** "CAN WE TALK, Nadia?" Lilian asked the old helper when she saw him busy in the garden. It was the perfect time to talk to her about what she found out in the library of Alpha Karius'' mansion. "What is it, Luna?" Nadia asked as she stopped on picking the fallen leaves from the ground and wiped her hand on the hem of her dress. She was actually surprised since why would the Luna even talk to her? It was so sudden. "This is a bit important. Can we talk... there instead?" Lilian pointed to the farthest part of the garden. Nadia was confused at first but then she noddedter on. They walked towards the farthest part of the garden where some of the insects are loud because of their buzzing sounds. That made her think that maybe what they''re going to talk about is really important like what Lilian said. "I don''t actually know how to start this but... you said you''ve been working for Alpha Karius'' family ever since he was still young. So, that means... you know their family very well... right?" She asked as she made her face look more serious. Nadia gasped a bit, suddenly had the hunch on where their conversation would take them. She knew about the family that she served for a long time now. And she promised to herself to not expose their secret until her veryst breath. "Yes, Luna. What about it?" she asked, trying to sound casual in front of Lilian even though she''s actually nervous inside. "I''d like to confirm it from you since I want to hear it from someone who witnessed everything in Alpha Karius'' family. Is it true that... he''s--" Nadia shook her head. "P-Please, stop, Luna. You shouldn''t open up about that matter anymore." Nadia immediately cut her off from speaking. "What do you mean, Nadia?" "It has been a secret of the family... Alpha Karius being a... half d-demon." Nadia looked down as she yed with her hands nervously. "Let''s not talk about it anymore, Luna. Please..." "But why? I''d like to know more about this." Lilian still insisted. "Luna... Alpha Karius could be really dangerous, too if triggered. If that happens..." "He could kill, right?" She finished what Nadia is about to say. Nadia sighed before she slowly nodded. "Alpha Karius is kind. Please, let''s not do something that could taint his reputation as the alpha of the pack." "I understand, Nadia. But... have you ever heard about the wolf that has been rewarded by the moon goddess?" Nadia slowly nodded her head. "Yes. And I just hope that it''s just a myth. Because I could never afford to see Alpha Karius to get... k-killed when the timees because of being a half-demon. Please, let''s keep him safe, Luna. Let''s protect him. I couldn''t afford to see that kid to..." She sighed, not being able toplete what she''s about to say. Lilian sighed. She was about to say something when they both suddenly heard a loud scream from the mansion. They looked at each other as if they''re talking through their eyes. They both gasped and immediately went back only to be weed by a messy ce. The vase shattered on the floor, the paintings hanging on the wall also broke into two and there are some w prints on the wall and floor. It looks like the ce has been hit by a dangerous disaster. "What happened?" Lilian asked one of the helpers. "I-It''s Alpha Karius, Luna! He did this!" the helper answered. Fear is evident in her eyes and she''s also about to cry. Lilian gasped and was suddenly surprised when she saw Calxy running quickly with silver chains on his hand towards the attic of the mansion. Curiously, Lilian followed Calyx in the attic room, only to see a man that she almost didn''t recognize. A naked man chained with silver chains standing at the center... with sharp fangs and horns on his head. His nails are longer than the usual nails of a wolf. His eyes are bloody red, ring at their direction as he tries to get off from the chains around him. He was groaning so loud with his deeper voice. Oh, goddess. "A-Alpha Karius..." Lilian whispered her name when she realized something. He had turned on his demon form. 55. The Surprise 55. The Surprise CHAPTER 55: The Surprise MANY YEARS AGO... "N-NADIA, AM I a bad kid?" The little Karius asked the old helper as he sat on one of the stools to drink the milk prepared for him before going to sleep. It was already dark outside and he''s been waiting for her mama toe home, only to get ignored by her in return. It was as if he''s not exist at all. He couldn''t understand why he has to be hurt like that all the time when she''s around. His heart was always aching when that happened. Why would he always feel that kind of pain to his own mother? Nadia looked at the innocent child and sat in front of him. "Of course not, Karius. You''re a very nice kid." She smiled at him and caressed his cheek gently. She''s hurting for the little alpha. She''s also asking the goddess why he needed to go through this kind of pain at a very young age. He pouted. "But... why does my momma doesn''t love me?" he asked innocently and sighed. Nadia''s smile was immediately erased as soon as the little Karius asked that question. She knew pretty well the reason behind his mother being aloof towards him. And she can''t me her for acting that way towards her son. But then she somehow couldn''t understand how Luna could hate this sweet little alpha in front of her? He''s so adorable and smart! At a very young age, he was able to answer some equations and questions that only an adult could answer. He''s gifted, but it wasn''t enough for his own mom to give her attention to him. "Oh, she loves you so much, Karius. It''s just that... we have different ways of showing our love to everyone around us. In your mama''s case, maybe she''s just busy with some other things that''s why you couldn''t see how she really loves you. She''s your mother after all..." Nadia carefully exined to him. As the little Karius grew up, she witnessed how he craved to be noticed by his own mother. And it hurts her whenever he only gets ignored in the end despite being a good boy. The little Karius nodded. "Okay. I''ll try to understand my mama from now on." He smiled, as if he wasn''t hurt at all. He''s a little ball of sunshine. Despite his little heart being crushed on his mama''s treatment towards him, Karius couldn''t help but to always hope. That one day... she would love him, too. He never loses hope so he won''t stop praying to the goddess that he will soon grant his wish to be loved by his momma someday. "I''ll just y outside with Calyx," the little Karius informed Nadia the next morning after his breakfast. Nadia just nodded in return. He really likes to y with Calyx so much since he''s not that talkative and always giving way to him. It was Calyx who really understands him the most. He found Calyx in the maze with some other kids. There was a table and chairs there and they were like watching something interesting. They are not ying their usual physical games right now, making Karius curious even more. And when he got there he was actually surprised. They are ying chess this time. And Karius was excited since he never yed that kind of game before even though he heard so much about it. "Can I join?" he asked the other kids, making some of them look in his direction. The others are still focused on the game they are watching. "Sure!" It was Josiah who replied and everyone agreed. "But after this game, you will y with the one who will winter." Karius nodded and yed the game. He studied how they move their chess pieces and how the yers use it against their opponents in just a couple of minutes, especially the one who''s leading the game. It wasn''t that difficult for him to know their next moves since he''s also a fast learner. "You never yed chest, right?" said Calyx when he stood beside him. He nodded his head. "Hmm. Yeah," he answered truthfully. "And you will still join?" Calyx brow raised a bit, couldn''t believe that Karius was eager to join despite him not really knowing the game. "Uh-huh!" "What if you''ll lose in that game? They have an agreement that the loser will grant the winner''s wish as punishment. Aren''t you afraid?" He asked with his threatening tone and smirked at him. But deep inside Calyx, he was actually impressed by his eagerness to join the game. There''s no fear in his eyes despite not being familiar with the game. But then, Calyx trusts Karius. He knew about his capability and since he''s naturally smart... he knew that Karius got this... He shook his head. "Hmm. Not really." He chuckled a bit. "Tss." Calyx just shook his head as if he was disappointed in what he said. He was actually thinking that he would have a sudden change of mind. But he didn''t. Karius just smirked and continued watching the chess game. After a couple of minutes, the game was finished and Bryan was dered as the winner. Bryan is really good at chess. He''s tall and more ahead of the other kids here. He''s taller and fatter, and everyone fears his wolf since it''s also fat. He''sughing at his opponent now like he''s mocking him for being a loser. "W-What is your wish, then?" asked Nick who''s the loser in the game. He looked nervous now as the other kids kept on cheering Bryan. Bryan acted as if he was thinking and even touched his chin with the tip of his finger and looked up a bit. "Hmm. Give me your wallet." "Huh? For what?" Nick looks puzzled. "No questions, Nick. Just give it to me." Bryan even extended his hand. Nick was still contemting a bit but then he took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to Bryan. Bryan smirks and opens Nick''s wallet and suddenly gets all his remaining money there. "Woah. I never knew that you have a fat wallet," Bryan said as he chuckled, getting all the remaining money from Nick. "P-Please, don''t get all my money." Nick pleaded like he''s about to cry now. "Na-uh. We had an agreement. Whoever the loser will grant the winner''s wish. And I wished to get all your money in your wallet so you don''t have the choice but to give it to me." Bryanughed again. Nick looked down and sighed. Karius really felt bad about him. A thought suddenly came to his mind. "Who''s the next challenger?" Bryan asked as he looked at the other kids around them. Karius raised his hand without any hesitation. "Me." Bryan looked at his direction. "Okay! C''mon here, kid." He gestured to him to sit on the chair that had been upied by Nick earlier. "Take it easy on him, Bryan. I heard he doesn''t know how to y this game," said one of the kids standing behind Bryan and even massaged his shoulders. Bryan is more ahead than those other kids here so everyone fears him. "Oh, you don''t? Don''t worry, kid. I''ll pretend like I''m a toddler so the game will be fair and square." Bryanughed together with the other audience around. Instead of being offended, Karius just smirked at them. "Okay. Let''s start!" Bryan nodded, still smirking as they started ying chess. Karius was theughingstock of the audience at first. But then they were all shocked when he suddenly finished the game with just five moves. "Checkmate," Karius muttered as he looked at Bryan whose face was now turning red because of shame. Bryan gritted his teeth as he red at Karius. "All is fair and square here." Karius even shrugged, making Bryan even more pissed. "No! I thought you didn''t know how to y?! You yed like fucking pro! You fucking liar!" Bryan shouted as he suddenly flipped the chessboard making it fall on the ground. Everyone gasped at what they witnessed but no one dared to move to stop them. Bryan''s canines already elongated as he breathed heavily. Karius instinctively stepped back at his sight. Bryan is wolfing out making everyone suddenly scared! "Karius, let''s go!" He heard Calyx scream at him but he couldn''t just move anymore that Calyx had no other choice but to suddenly hug him tight when Bryan suddenly attacked him. But Karius was shocked when it was Calyx who was attacked and got wed on his back. He could see how pained Calyx is the moment he was wed by Bryan. Calyx groaned in so much pain as he still hugged him tight. Suddenly, all that Karius sees is... red. Karius couldn''t understand his own body anymore. He felt like the tiniest thread of his patience had been cut all of a sudden. He became a... monster. "AAHHH!!" Everything happened so fast. Karius could hear how Bryan suddenly screamed in pain when he''s now the one who suddenly attacked him. He beat him to the ground like he only weighed nothing. He pierced his skin until his blood was sttering on his face and on the ground. His ws are buried where his heart is beating. He couldn''t control his own body anymore. It was as if he''s someone else. Momentster, everything has sinked into him. He looked at his own hand that''s now covered with Bryan''s blood. "N-No..." he whispered. He killed Bryan without feeling any remorse. That day, he realized that he''s not just a monster... He has the blood of a demon... the reason why her own mother hasn''t loved him ever since he was a kid. He''s carrying the blood of a demon who vited his own grandmother in the past. *** PRESENT DAYS... "IT''S BETTER IF you leave for now, Luna," Calyx said, making Lilian go back to reality. Everything suddenly hits her like a whirlwind. She just saw a glimpse of Alpha Karius'' memory in her head. It was because of their mate bond. It was possible for her to see that memory of Alpha Karius because of their connection to each other as mates. "W-What is happening to him?" Lilian asked with her trembling tone. She could still hear the animalistic groan of Alpha Karius who''s being chained tightly. Calyx smirked. "I bet you already knew about it. You entered his library, right?" His tone was mocking. Her eyes widened in shock. "H-How..." They knew? "Alpha Karius knew about it but he didn''t want to confront you. He''s not that dumb to not realize it. He''s just being blinded with his feelings for you. Now, it''s better if you leave now because your smell will only N?velDrama.Org (C) content. make things hard for him." Lilian was still shocked but she stepped back and didn''t have a choice anymore but to slowly leave with a glimpse of Alpha Karius'' demon form as she left the attic room. She went back to the living area and was shocked when the smell of blood invaded her nostrils. She gasped on what she suddenly saw. The helpers'' lifeless bodies are scattered everywhere with their blood sttered messily. "Fuck..." Lilian muttered and almost jumped from where she''s standing when the head of Mia suddenly rolled in front of her. She almost puked at that sight! She wasn''t recovered at that sight yet when she heard theugh of a woman as she stood proudly just a meter far away from her. "Didn''t you like my surprise, hmm? Oh, the filthy omega... I''m back!" Lilian red at her. She''s back. Gianna is back. 56. The Betrayal 56. The Betrayal CHAPTER 56: The Betrayal LILIAN''S HAND BALLED INTO fist as she saw Gianna again. She''s not pretending to be someone else now. Her facade as rine is long gone. Gianna... like the first time Lilian saw her, was still elegant and beautiful but her aura is darker now. Evilness and darkness is now connected to her name. "Why aren''t you even happy that you see me again, huh? Or are you that surprised to not even say a word?" Gianna asked as sheughed mockingly again. Lilian wanted so badly to erase that mocking smile on her lips. It irritates the hell out of her! She could clearly remember how she used her of being a thief and humiliated her in front of Alpha Karius'' pack. "Why would I be even happy? You deserve to rot in hell, bitch!" Lilian shouted, not really sure if how did she even found the words to say. She''s so mad just by seeing her right now! Her blood is boiling in so much anger. It angers her so much and even wonders how could she even smile like that after hurting someone before. "Na-uh!" Gianna shook her head as she stepped closer towards Lilian. "I''ve been in hell all my life, woman. Do you think that still scares me?!" Sheughed again as her aura suddenly became darker. Herugh echoes in the whole mansion, creating some cracks on the walls. It was creepy to the point that Lilian shivered just by hearing her voice. It made the hairs on her nape suddenly rise up. It actually made her wonder how she was able to achieve this oozing kind of power and strength. She could sense the evilness on it. But what really shocked Lilian is the sudden appearance of rogues outside the mansion. Everything is already in chaos. She could hear the agony of the wolves in the whole Moon Stone pack as they fought with the rogues outside. The scream of the pups and cries of everyone broke her heart. It made Lilian want to protect them all at all cost. Some rogues already came inside the mansion making Lilian gritted her teeth. They destroyed everything inside the mansion. Her heart started to hammer so fast against her chest as the rogues kept on going in her direction. "Fuck!" Lian cursed when one of them attacked her and she was left with no choice but to shift in the air as she jumped high to dodge it. Lilian groaned at that sudden attack, it almost hit her. "Yeah! That''s right! Kill her!" said the lunatic Gianna as she smirked, watching Lilian who''s now starting to fight with the rogues all at once. Lilian dodged the attacks of the rogues at first but then she also attacked them in return. She wed at the other one who ran to her direction and almost did not see the one at her back. She ripped the head of the rogue behind her with her sharp canines as she quickly dodged the next attacks of the other rogues. Some of the other wolves of the Moon Stone pack already came to her to help her in fighting the rogues. She recognized some of the pack warriors as she kept on fighting the rogues. It was good that the pack warriors were protecting her but Lilian didn''t stop fighting. She quickly throws the rogue on the wall when someone suddenly runs towards her. The rogue made a groan as she red at it. ''Protect the Luna!'' Lilian could hear the familiar voices of the other pack warriors as they continued fighting the rogues through their mind link. But then, the rogues seem to be stronger this time. They won''t get killed in just one blow. And their numbers seem to grow even more. Gianna has something to do with it. It seems like she''s the only one who has the control of the rogues here! The whole mansion is such a mess now. The smell of blood lingers in the air as the pack warriors that''s protecting Lilian are getting tired as time passes by. Yes, they are maybe trained for physical fights but they are getting weaker as time passes by because the number of the rogues are getting doubled! Lilian''s wolf gaze went to Gianna who''s still standing proudly on the entrance. There''s a ck aura surrounding her now like she gained more power. She thought of going towards her and fighting her. ''Luna, where are you going?!'' Lilian heard the voice of one of the pack warriors through the mind link. She didn''t mind it and continued walking. ''I''ll finish this as quickly as I can,'' Lilian said instead as a reply through the mind link. She''s not actually sure if she could even finish it quickly like what she said. Gianna is stronger now. And even though she became an omega and had trained herself with some physical fights, it can''t be denied that Gianna could quickly turn her down because of the power that she got now. Gianna saw how Lilian slowly walked towards her and fought quickly with the rogues that would get in her way. Lilian would throw them in the air swiftly as she aims to attack Gianna who''s still smirking mockingly at her. The floor that Gianna would step on will immediately create a crack. Lilian ran towards Gianna and jumped in the air to w her but to her surprise, she was thrown in the air because of the ck aura that''s surrounding her! She backfired and threw it on the wall harshly. Her wolf groaned at the pain she''s feeling on her back and cursed in her head. The searing pain on her back made her a bit ufortable to move. ''Luna!'' the pack warriors muttered in worry through the mind link. They are about to go to her but then they are attacked by another bunch of rogues! "You''re still stupid just like before, huh." Lilian heard Gianna mutter as she took a step closer towards her wolf. "Let''s have an agreement, shall we?" Gianna suddenly pulled Lilian''s wolf hair harshly that made her groan even more. Lilian tried moving and pushed her hand away, feeling disgusted on Gianna''s touch. She quickly gets up and res at her. Gianna was furious at what she did and in just a blink of an eye, a ball of ck This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. light suddenly formed in Gianna''s hands. "I aim to talk to have an agreement with you but you won''t fucking cooperate! Now, let''s see where your stupidity will take you!" Gianna shouted as she hit Lilian with the ck light and it hit her side in so much anger. Another groan escaped from Lilian''s mouth at the impact of Gianna''s ck light. It was hot as if it''s piercing her skin and setting her insides on fire. She never experienced this kind of pain before! Her wolf even groaned until she suddenly coughed with her own blood. It made her weak and almost unable to move, that''s how powerful Gianna''s ck light is. "My agreement is just simple. If you''re going to agree, I might change my mind and stop this mess," Gianna said again as she yed with another ball of ck light in her hand. Lilian wanted to push her away again but she was already too weak because of the pain on her side. "I won''t make things hard for you, woman. What I want is very simple. Break your bond with Alpha Karius and get lost from his sight. That''s it! And everything will be back to normal again..." Sheughed. "You''re the only one who''s making things hard here, you know..." Gianna suddenly touched her side where she got hurt earlier again and to her damn surprise, she felt another pain from her touch! It made her wolf groan again! "Decide now. I don''t really like waiting..." Gianna said as she pressed her hand on Lilian''s side even more, making her feel the heat on her palm. Lilian weakly shook her head, not agreeing on what she wanted. ''Never...'' she answered through the mind link. "Hah! Never, huh? What if Alpha Karius will be the one to break it instead?" Gianna asked slowly as she removed her hand on Lilian''s side. Secondster, they heard an animalistic groan that echoed in the whole mansion. It made her gasp because she could feel the fear that suddenly registered in her system. Lilian slowly turned to see where that groan wasing from and gasped again. "A-Alpha Karius..." she whispered her name in her head. It was him... but he''s in his demon form. That''s when she realized that someone released her from being chained! Behind him was Calyx groaning in pain as the man familiar to her was punching him nonstop, he almost couldn''t catch up. It was Jackson. A lone tear escaped from her eyes. Jackson... he betrayed her. The only man that she treated as his own brother betrayed her... Everything was still sinking on her head when a tight grip on her neck, choking her made her suddenly gasp in surprise. It was Alpha Karius. And it seems like he''s about to kill her from his own grip to her neck. 57. The Chosen One 57. The Chosen One CHAPTER 57: The Chose One FLASHBACK. "THIS IS FOR YOU." Lilian looked at the man who''s holding a tea for her. It was the man named Jackson. She already noticed her on her first days here in the Midnight pack and she could tell that he''s the friendliest wolf here. Everyone is really fond of Jackson. He''s easy to be with and kind. Whenever they have training, every female wolf is really doing their best to get noticed by him. And since Jackson is naturally nice, he would check on them like a gentleman should do. Well, she wouldn''t deny that Jackson is indeed a fine young man. Almost all of the girls here have a crush on him and it seems like he''s not even aware of it. Lilian already noticed that pack on her first days here. "This will help you regain your energy from the nonstop training. Sorry, the leaders didn''t go easy on you even though it was your first time," he said again as he sat beside her. They are now in the mansion and it actually surprised her that Jackson still followed her. They''re still not friends but he''s already acting like one. She didn''t even bother talking that much to him since she could sense the secret res of the other female wolves in the pack whenever he''s with her. It was hard for Lilian to ignore them but she''s trying. "Thank you," Lilian replied politely as she epted the tea from him. Calista is busy with her duties with some other elderly wolves. The other helpers in the house are busy with their work so she''s now the one who''s entertaining Jackson now even though she doesn''t really have the mood since the training was really a bit intense earlier for her. Her body is still new to those training here. And if only her previous pack was able to give those omegas like her before to train properly, then she won''t be weak like this now. "How''s the training for you? The leaders could be really harsh sometimes," Jackson said, insisting on a conversation with her and sitting on the chair next to her. Lilian shrugged. "It''s fine with me." Well, she lied on that part. The leaders, or the wolves that are leading the pack with the training are not fond of her. Aside from the fact that Jackson is close to her on her first days, everyone is also thinking that she''s using her privilege as the daughter of the alpha even though she''s not. That thought never crossed Lilian''s head. Even though she has all the rights to boss around here, she never did because she knew the feeling of beingmanded just like what she experienced on her previous pack. It was never erased from her mind... The way the higher ranked wolves treated them, omegas, like their ves... So, no... Lilian won''t do that to them here. "Don''t worry. I could personally assist you in your training and be your sparring partner if you want." Lilian looked at her this time. "Why would you even do that?" she asked, raising a brow. Well, she''s truly notfortable with the training leaders. It was obvious that they are purposely making it harder for her after knowing that she''s the daughter of the she-wolf alpha. She''s obviously a beginner but they are treating her like a pro sometimes. She always felt weak after those training sessions! "Because I could sense that you''re not thatfortable around them. I can see the hesitation on the way you punch earlier." He smiled a bit. "If I will be your sparring partner, there''s no need for you to stop yourself. And who knows... I could also be your friend if you also want." Friend. It never crossed her mind to make one. She was fine alone. She couldn''t really tell if she had some friends on her previous pack but she was civil to the other omegas that she knew. So, hearing it now made her hesitate a bit. But then, there''s nothing wrong if she will make one this time right? So, she was surprised at her own answer to him. Lilian just nodded and also smiled a bit in return. Because deep inside her, she''s also craving for a genuine friendship which she never had before since she was too focused on some... things. And the next few days, Jackson did really fulfill what he told her. He became her sparring partner and even though he''s a male, he makes sure that his moves will make herfortable. And she also learned easily around him! He''s one of the reasons why she easily adjusted to her training. And he gave her the genuine friendship that she wants. And in a short span of time, Lilian found friendship with him. She''s not easily trusting anyone and doesn''t really make friends that much but it''s different with Jackson. He''s the brother she wished to have... -END OF FLASHBACK- *** ALL THOSE SIMPLE things that Jackson did to Lilian suddenly rushed in her head. She remembered it clearly as she stared at the man that she treated as her brother, beating the hell out of Alpha Karius'' loyal Beta... Calyx. ''Jackson...'' She tried calling him through the mind link but he never listened. He''s too focused on what he''s doing. Calyx tries to fight back and also punch back but there''s something on Jackson''s punch that makes him suddenly weak and doesn''t have the choice but to get hit a couple of times. Lilian couldn''t help but to worry about Calyx. He''s strong but then Jackson is more eager to take him down. She concluded that maybe Jackson released Alpha Karius but then Calyx tried to stop him. But her attention towards them was short-lived when she was suddenly out of breath again. That''s when she realized that Alpha Karius'' demon is still choking her. ''A-Alpha Karius... please, s-stop this...'' she tried saying it despite her wolf being choked to death. Her wolf is groaning painfully as his nails are buried and pierced on her skin. It made her weak to the point that another batch of tears are starting to blur her sight again as she tries to gasp for air. "If you wouldn''t agree on what I want then I''ll let Alpha Karius do the work instead!" said Gianna again. Lilian didn''t mind her anymore and just stared at Alpha Karius. Even though he really looked different now, she could still see her mate in his eyes. She weakly shook her head as if it was enough to make him stop. She''s getting out of breath... "L-Love..." Lilian whispered this time and to her surprise, his grip on her neck loosened up a bit. She took that as a chance to cough and gasped for air! Her cough wasced with blood as her tears got blurry. "G-Go... while I c-could still s-stop him.." Lilian''s eyes widened in shock when she clearly heard the familiar voice of Alpha Karius. He''s trying to stop his demon! His demon just kept on letting out animalistic groans but it was obvious that Alpha Karius'' wolf was stopping it. Hot tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes even more. She could see how Alpha Karius is having a hard time at this moment. She could clearly see how he fought with his own demons as he groaned loudly this time. It was as if he''s losing his own sanity now and it hurts Lilian to see him like this. Meanwhile, Gianna''s eyes widened in shock at what she just witnessed. It was very clear to her how Alpha Karius stopped his demon to kill Lilian. It only proves how strong Alpha Karius is! No! Her n must seed! If Lilian won''t agree on what she wants then Alpha Karius will do it instead! He should kill her now! "No! You should kill her, Alpha Karius! Do it, c''mon!" Gianna screamed loudly this time and red at Lilian''s wolf who''s obviously feeling weak now as she coughed for a couple of times now. Her side is aching and she got many wounds that wouldn''t heal easily. Will she even live after this? ''I w-wo''nt. You''re n-not like this, A-Alpha Karius. I know you l-love me...'' Lilian''s wolf whispered again through the mind link. She''s hurting for their situation now. "You w-will never hurt me..." she added. She trusts him. She knows that Alpha Karius can do it. He will never hurt her intentionally. Alpha Karius shook his head and groaned again in so much pain as he could feel how his demon started to get out again. It was so painful for him to the point that he was already screaming. Until he couldn''t stop it anymore... As Lilian tries to get up, she was shocked when Alpha Karius suddenly attacked her and threw her in the air like she weighed nothing at all. She throws her wolf harshly until she''s dropped on the floor with a loud thud that creates a crack on the ground. The broken vase pierced her skin so forcefully that she couldn''t help but to cry in pain. Her own blood gushed out from her skin, she was already unable to move. It feels like her body was trapped between two closed walls that made her unable to breathe. She''s so tired now... Is this her end? Suddenly, the shbacks of her memories with Alpha Karius came to her mind. When they were still hiding their rtionship to everyone... They were so happy even though what they had was just a secret. They were both content with what they got... Theirughters, unending cuddles, sweet and flowery words, kisses and love makings... it all shed in her mind like a tornado. Maybe what they said was right. That your memories will sh to your mind when you''re already about to die. Her eyes are already dropping as her breathing became slowly. Her heartbeats are now bing slow like it''s already tired from beating... ''I love you... Alpha Karius...'' she whispered in the air as she finally fell into deep slumber. N?velDrama.Org (C) content. But then momentster, when she''s ready to die, a loud pump in her chest suddenly made her open her eyes again as she gasped for air. It was as if she was hit by something she doesn''t even know! "Hijo de puta! So, it''s true, huh?! The chosen one of the moon goddess is her?!" Lilian heard Gianna shout in annoyance. 58. The Darkness And Light 58. The Darkness And Light CHAPTER 58: The Darkness And Light IT WAS DARK. That''s what all that Alpha Karius could see. It was as if he had been locked inside a very dark, closed room. He couldn''t see anything even his wolf. He was trained to see in the dark perfectly but this time, he couldn''t. He''s not sure where he is anymore as he tries to look around. "Where am I?" He asked himself, trying to figure things out. It doesn''t make sense to him. He tried running around, hoping that he could find a way out but to his dismay, the darkness had no end. He''s running without any destination at all but there''s something in this darkness that makes him... weak. It feels like he''s running out of breath as his heart hammers so fast against his chest. This feeling is familiar. He already felt this kind of feeling before. When he suddenly snapped on his ymate when he was still a kid... Bryan. How could he even forget that name? That''s the name of the kid that he... Alpha Karius refuses to notplete his own thoughts. He long buried those memories in the past. He will never do it again. He somehow learned to control it so why is he feeling this kind of feeling again? It feels like he''s not the one in control of his body anymore. It doesn''t make sense to him really. "L-Love..." Alpha Karius straightened his back when he heard that familiar voice. It was his mate! But where is he? Why can''t he see her?! It was frustrating him to the core that the only thing that he could do is to search for her in this unending darkness. He wanted to see her so bad! But he couldn''t get out of this darkness where he is right now. "Lilian! Lilian! Love..." He tried calling her name again and again but it seems like his own voice is just being trapped in this ce. It seems like Lilian doesn''t also hear him. Please, love... he prayed to the goddess he would see her but his prayers weren''t answered. He pulled his own hair in frustration. Why does he suddenly feel... useless and weak? He should do something right now. He should get out of here as soon as possible to see his mate. "We meet again... Karius." His eyes widened with that voice. It was deep and animalistic, it reminded him of his wolf''s groans. Speaking of his wolf... why can''t he seem to feel him now?! "Who the fuck are you?!" He asked, shouting. He clenched his jaw when he couldn''t see anyone. He wanted so badly to punch that voice because its tone was like mocking him! A deep chuckle echoed in the darkness that made Alpha Karius shiver. Even though he wanted to just shrug it off, he knew that just by hearing that voice, he could tell that he''s also dangerous. "You will never see me. I''m... you." Alpha Karius'' brows furrowed. "What do you mean?! Don''t fucking y with me!" He wanted to deny his hunch because the truth is... he couldn''t ept it. He couldn''t ept that the owner of that voice was able to rule his system again. He couldn''t ept that he let him do what he wants and he''s here... trapped in the darkness and unable to get out. "You know the answer, Karius. I''m you because we are only one." He red in the darkness when realization started to hit him like a whirlwind. I''m you... that''s what the deep voice said. His breathing ragged when he finally wanted to admit to himself the answer to his question. It was his demon that he longed for, forgotten and locked at the deepest part of his system. "You came back..." Alpha Karius almost whispered, still couldn''t ept that fact. He suddenly couldn''t help but to also belittle himself. The demon was able to get out because he''s this... weak. "No. I''m always here with you. You just refused to let me out. And now that I took your ce, I will never let you win again." The voiceughed loudly again that made Alpha Karius mad. No! "No! No! This is my body! You fucking go away, you filthy demon!" Alpha Karius shouted in so much frustration. Why does he have to experience this kind of situation? It wasn''t his fault that he had to be this way... It wasn''t his fault... And then Alpha Karius suddenly remembered his wolf... He tried summoning his wolf through the mind link. He knows that he''s still there. He just hopes that he wille out. He concentrated and tried ignoring the mockingugh of his demon. He called his wolf for a couple of times until he heard his painful groan. It was as if he''s also having a hard time like he is now. They are both in aplicated situation now. "C''mon,e out now..." he whispered again. And like he was hit by a tornado, he suddenly saw a glimpse of the surroundings again. There''s no darkness anymore! It was painful for him to summon his wolf because it was as if there''s something that''s trapping him! But then, momentster, he was shocked to see himself choking his mate... Lilian to death. He tried controlling his body and let his wolf rule him even though it was fucking hard for him since his wolf is also feeling weak now. His demon won''t just get lost! It won''t go away so easily! "G-Go... while I c-could still s-stop him.." Alpha Karius tried to say despite having a hard time. It was as if he''s being pulled back to the darkness again. And then his demon snapped once again and came back. He was pulled back and screamed in so much frustration because he doesn''t know what''s happening to his mate anymore! What did his demon do to her?! He swears that he will never forgive himself if something bad happens to Lilian! ''''I love you... Alpha Karius...'''' That''s thest thing that Alpha Karius heard before a lone tear escaped from his eye. He wasn''t able to protect her. He saw a glimpse of how she was hurting earlier! And he''s feeling so useless now... because no matter how many times he tried again, the darkness already sumbed to him. *** "YOU''RE NOT READY to die yet." Lilian gasped at the sudden voice that she heard from a few distance. She looked around and it seems like she''s in... paradise. The surrounding was full of flowers, it reminded her of the garden in Alpha Karius mansion. The fragrance is lingering around, she couldn''t help but to close her eyes to smell it even more. And it was bright. Everything is alive here that at the back of her mind, she wanted to just stay here. But then she looked around to look for the voice that she heard just earlier. The voice was soft and gentle, it sounded like a luby. "Who are you?" she asked as she saw a figure of a woman just a few meters away from her. The woman is surrounded by white light until she suddenly moves closer towards her direction. "I am Tatianna and I am the Moon Goddess..." The woman whispered as her appearance became clear to Lilian. She couldn''t help but to gasp when she saw her face. Tatianna... She''s indeed a goddess. She''s... breathtaking. Beautiful is not an enough word to describe her appearance but then she''s the most beautiful woman that she everid her eyes on. She''s... perfect. She has curly brown hair that suits her paper white skin and is wearing white long dress that ends at her feet. And she has a flower crown on her head. She''s surrounded by colorful butterflies. "M-Moon goddess?" Lilian asked as if she''s still processing everything. "Are you... for real?" Tatianna smiled and nodded at her. "Of course, I am," she answered. "B-But how... how the hell you''re in front of me now?" As far as Lilian knows, the moon goddess is not showing herself to the wolves. No one has ever seen her face. And seeing her now felt like a privilege for Lilian. She''s so lucky to have a glimpse of the moon goddess. "You''re not bound to see me but... I need to tell you something." Tatianna sighed as she suddenly N?velDrama.Org (C) content. reached for Lilian''s hands and held it firmly. Lilian could feel the smoothness of her skin but then she couldn''t help but to feel confused. Lilian''s brows furrowed. "And what is that?" "Long time ago, I chose you to be the one to end the darkness in this world..." Here it is again. There''s a part of her that is still not convinced on this matter since she''s also an omega! It is really impossible! But then who is she to question the moon goddess'' decision? She''s still confused though. "But why me? I don''t understand. There are so many wolves out there who are stronger than me. Why didn''t you choose them instead? Because I don''t think I could do this," Lilian said as a matter of fact. "Why not you? You are a wonderful woman, Lilian. I chose you because I have a lot of trust in you. I never once doubted my decision to reward you with extraordinary strength and power." Lilian looked down as she yed with her own fingers. Can she really... do this? She has so many doubts about herself right now. But then it warms her heart knowing that the moon goddess herself trusts her so much. For the first time, she felt... powerful because the moon goddess is on her side. It felt like everything was suddenly possible for her. And then everything suddenly hits her... Alpha Karius... he''s also a demon. That means, she will also need to... kill him in the end. Can she even do that? The answer is no. She can''t. She loves him and hurting him now is the veryst of her options. "I... I can''t do this. My mate is... My mate..." Lilian shook her head, unable to form the right words anymore. "You have to. And trust me, after this, you will receive the greatest gift from me..." Tatianna replied with a smile on her lips again. Lilian was about to say something but then a loud pump on her chest made her back to reality again. The light and the paradise is gone... And the chaotic mansion weed her eyes again but this time... she could feel the oozing power in her as she slowly stood up from the floor. She will finish this now. 59. The One Last Kiss 59. The One Last Kiss CHAPTER 59: The One Last Kiss IT WAS A BIG confusion to Gianna why Lilian suddenly came back to life again. She used her ck aura on her already! Her ck aura is her strongest weapon, it was a surprise that she''s still alive until now. And Alpha Karius was able to hurt her earlier and she thought that it was already enough to kill her! Gianna knew that Alpha Karius'' demon is one helluva dangerous creature. She knew that when he threw Lilian like she weighed earlier, she would be dead because of the impact. So, why is she alive again?! From the ground, Lilian slowly got up as the white aura surrounded her own body. Gianna could feel the oozing power that she got that matches hers. But then, she didn''t want to look bothered in front of her so she smirked tauntingly at her. She wouldn''t show Lilian that she''s shocked by her power. "Well, well... you''re still alive, huh?" Gianna asked with her mocking tone. Lilian then talked through the mind link since she''s still in her wolf form. "Are you that surprised? Feeling threatened now, eh?" Gianna''s face instantly darkened with that. "Why would I even be threatened by a mere stupid wolf like you? That didn''t erase the fact that you''re still an omega!" Yes. She''s still an omega! She''s still weak! Gianna bury that on her mind as she res at Lilian. "Yes, I may be an omega but the moon goddess is on my side. That alone is enough of a threat to you." Gianna smirked. "Oh, surprise! I''m not even scared a bit. So, what if your moon goddess is on your side? You both are still stupid creatures!" Lilian didn''t mind how she insulted her and the moon goddess. She knew that Gianna would do anything to irritate her. She just became serious and said, "Then let''s finish this. I don''t see any reason to make you do what you want and rule with your evilness and darkness here." "This won''t happen if you only agree on what I want--" "That won''t really happen because Alpha Karius is mine. He''s my mate. Mine. Alone." Lilian smirked on her mind. She knew how obsessed Gianna is towards her mate and she couldn''t really me her. Alpha Karius is such a fine man and aside from that, he''s also kind and N?velDrama.Org (C) content. caring. Gianna''s face darkened even more as she gritted her teeth. She''s not liking Lilian''s confidence! But Lilian wasn''t moved by her res and ck aura anymore. "Then expect that I will destroy this pack and every wolf here in this ce even more!" That''s thest thing that she said before she suddenly shifted in the air and turned into a wolf. Giann''s wolf is brown color. It has the same size as Lilian''s wolf. It was surrounded with ck auras that contradicted Lilian''s white aura. Lilian became even more serious this time. She could feel the anger and power of Gianna as she suddenlyunched in the air and aimed to attack her. And of course, she won''t back out this time. Lilian also jumped in the air and met her attack in the air. They were like two charges that''s repelling because of the aura surrounding the both of them. Their wolves are pushing each other but they immediately both backfired because of their auras. They bnced themselves to not fall on the ground and Lilian made the first move this time. She attacked Gianna and tried wing her wolf. Gianna was able to jump swiftly to dodged her attack. Lilian tried chasing her more quickly this time and tried wing her again and she smirked mentally when she was able to wound her. The wound won''t heal that easily even if Gianna is more powerful now. "Fuck you!" Gianna smirked through the mind linked as her wolf groaned and re at her. Her side is now dripping with her own blood because of Lilian''s ws. Lilian then smirked. "Oh, sorry. Alpha Karius is the only one who could do that to me," she said to her, pissing her even more. Gianna then also tried attacking her this time and they were both fast on their moves. They were like lightning, too fast and dangerous. Every wolf that watches them is in awe. But then, they needed to attack the rogues. Lilian tried to ripped Gianna''s wolf skin but she was able to dodge it. Giannaunched in the air again and Lilian didn''t really see iting. Gianna wounded her on the side of head face, marking it with her sharp ws. She heard the mockingugh of Gianna but she didn''t let it affect her. It stung but she will never give her the satisfaction! They are both attacking each other and no one seems to want to get beaten. "Moon goddess, please give me more strength..." Lilian whispered in the air and closed her eyes for her short prayer to the moon goddess. And then secondster, her white aura became more intense than a while ago. Gianna was shocked to see it and groaned when she felt the intensity of it. Gianna will never show that she was actually moved to her position seeing Lilian''s wolf be much stronger and bigger. Lilian started attacking Gianna again and all that Gianna could do was to dodge it. Her legs are making her back down because of the force of Lilian''s attack but no! She will win on this no matter what happens! "AAHHH!!" Gianna shouted painfully when she felt Lilian''s ws stabbed her stomach deep, it made her blood gushed out from her own body. She res at Lilian but she just sunk her w even more, piercing her skin. Lilian''s ws wereced with light that''s producing a heat, it was too painful for Gianna already. Instead of stopping, Lilian ripped Gianna with her canines this time. Gianna was already groaning in so much pain but she remained unfazed. "Stop this now, Gianna. It''s all over for you," Lilian whispered as she let her white aura surround Gianna''s body, hurting her even more. Giannaughed mockingly. "You will never be happy again, woman. Alpha Karius is now being eaten by his own demon. He''s not your mate anymore. If you''re not going to break your mate bond with him, then his demon could do all the work for me. So, I still won.." Lilian''s wolf res at her as she can''t stop herself anymore. She threw Gianna in the air and in onest strength, she fell on the ground with a loud impact. She wasn''t content on that yet and kicked her stomach repeatedly, stepping on it until Gianna coughed with her own blood. Lilian wanted so bad to erase her smirk on her lips but then... It was all short-lived. Because secondster, Gianna closed her eyes and died... Lilian thought that it was all done. She looked around and saw that the rogues were starting to disappear into ashes. They are all fading now since Gianna is gone... the one who''s in control with them all. Her gaze went to the side where he saw Alpha Karius. He''s still in his demon form but his eyes are full of tears... like he came back to his senses again. Lilian didn''t hesitate to go to him as she shifted back to normal, not minding her nakedness and ran to hug him tight despite his scary appearance. "Don''t... you have to finish this, love. C''mon..." he whispered at her and made her unwrap her arms around him. She shook her head. "I-It''s done. Let''s get out of here--" "No. You have to... kill me. That''s the right thing to do." Lilian gasped. Kill... she doesn''t think she could even do that. Yes, she thought of hurting him before when she came back to his pack but then love hase her way for the second time around. Her love for him was able to conquer the pain and hatred in her heart. Love... how powerful. But it also hurts bigtime. "There''s no need for me to kill you, Alpha Karius." She shook her head weakly. "C''mon, love... I''m tired. I kept on trying to fight this but..." He weakly shook his head as his tears kept on streaming down his face. Lilian couldn''t help but to cry. "Do it... while I can still stop my own demon. Please..." "I.. I can''t!" She cried again louder this time. She''s also having a hard time here... seeing him this weak... the alpha that she only loves in this lifetime. "You can do it, love..." He whispered with a sad smile on his lips. "I won''t do it, Alpha Karius. I love you so much! I can''t kill you! Fuck being the chosen one, I''m still your mate! I will not follow the moon goddess this time." He smiled despite the tears on his eyes. "You don''t know how happy I am hearing those words from you again. I love you too, Lilian... so damn much but this is how you end everything. You have to do this." He suddenly got the sharp chunk of the vase on the ground and gave it to her. Alpha Karius made her hold firmly on the sharp object and pointed it to his heart, aiming to stab. She cried even more. How could he do this to her!? He wanted her to just kill him! When he couldn''t even do that! This is such a torture for her! Heck, this is thest thing that she will do. But then, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind in the midst of her tears. "You have to. And trust me, after this, you will receive the greatest gift from me..." Lilian suddenly gasped when she remembered Tatianna''s words... the moon goddess. Tatianna told her that she had to trust her. She calmed down a bit after that. This will be thest time. This will be thest time that she will follow the moon goddess. Because she wants her to kill a demon or darkness... her mate... is such a torture for her. But she will give her her trust onest time. She was crying so hard as she looked at Alpha Karius'' eyes again. He''s looking at her with his encouraging eyes. He smiled onest time.. And with that, Lilian leaned towards him and gave him onest kiss before she slowly buried the sharp object on his chest... "I love you..." he mouthed onest time as he suddenly faded in the air, white light started to take him away. 60. The Mothers Hug 60. The Mother''s Hug CHAPTER 60: The Mother''s Hug LILIAN KEPT ON crying so hard as she watched the light fading away from her. She shook her head and tried to chase it, as if it was enough to take Alpha Karius back to her. The light slowly fades away with the wind... until it''s out of her sight. She felt like her heart was shattered into pieces at that sight. "N-No! Please, don''t take him away from me!" Lilian shouted in the midst of her cries. Her cries are the loudest inside the messy mansion. She couldn''t believe what she did. She killed her mate. She killed her Alpha Karius. It was all done. But it ended painfully... so painful that she felt like her soul was also gone with the wind. Why does she have to experience this kind of pain again? The pain of losing another loved one. Her mate... what will happen to her now that Alpha Karius is gone? Yes, she may have gained the power from the moon goddess and is considered as the most powerful now but, she couldn''t guarantee to herself anymore if she could still be happy after this... if she could still smile. Thest time she cried painfully like this was when her little angel passed away without her even holding him or her. And now... she''s experiencing another pain of losing someone very dear to her. It was piercing her heart into pieces as she cried even more. "L-Luna..." Lilian kept on crying as she felt a hand on her shoulders. A clothe suddenly wrapped around her, covering her nakedness but it seems like she became numb already. It felt like everything around her has suddenly disappear because of the pain in her heart. "My mate is still a-alive. This can''t be h-happening!" Lilian said in the middle of her cries, as if everyone that''s seeing her will even believe what she''s saying. They saw what she did... she stabbed the Alpha and killed her. Lilian looked at her own hands and trembled when she saw the traces of Alpha Karius'' blood. She couldn''t believe that her own hands ended the life of his mate. She suddenly hated herself seeing his blood on her hands. She red at it as her hand balled into fist. Meanwhile, Calyx couldn''t help but to clench his jaw looking at Lilian weeping so hard. Jackson has stopped from punching and hurting him and is now staring nkly in the air... like everything is still processing in his head. Calyx was the one who wrapped Lilian with the curtain that he just pulled on the broken ss window. She put it on her shoulders and it seems like she doesn''t even notice his presence. "Let''s get out of here, Luna..." Calyx whispered to Lilian this time as she assisted her to stand up, but she just shook her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "C-Calyx... tell me. This is not real, right? Everything that happened here is just... a d-dream! Please, wake me up now!" She pleaded crying loudly again. Calyx gritted his teeth at the sight of the hurting Luna. Some of the wolves already shifted in their human forms, leaving the whole area and going to their loved ones. He couldn''t help but to feel sad seeing the dead helpers in Alpha Karius'' mansion. They had lost many lives... And their Alpha Karius is also... gone now. What will happen to the pack now? Alpha Karius... he''s not just Calyx''s alpha. He''s also his best friend. No, scratch that. He''s more than that to him. He''s the brother that he never had. He wanted to question him for his decision to end his life like that but it was for the better. He respects him so much and this is what he wants. But then... his decision hurts to the core. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Can''t they find any way? For sure, they could do something, right? They should at least look for another way! And he''s somehow ming himself for what happened. If only... he''s not that weak enough to guard him, he wouldn''t escape from him. That fucking man name Jackson was able to get him! He went back to reality when he heard another cry from Lilian again. Sighing, Calyx had no other choice but to pull Lilian forcefully. She was already too weak to even protest and he was able to carry her in his arms. The mansion was too dangerous, it might copse any moment from now. His heart is breaking for the wolves who had lost their loved ones. The pack was filled with cries and agony of the wolves. He clenched his jaw, trying to supress the tears from falling from his eyes. Lilian kept on crying and calling Alpha Karius'' name as if he woulde back to her. But she would hold onto the moon goddess'' words. She will still trust her. She will not stop hoping... even if it hurts. *** DAYS PASSED BY like a blur and Lilian chose to stay in the tree house as they fixed the mansion. All thanks to Calyx who has been really restless after the tragedy and was the one who''smanding everyone. Everything is slowly being back to its normal state because of Calyx. Lilian knew how he''s also having a hard time because he also lost his dear friend and alpha. But he''s doing all his best to do the work in the pack since Lilian couldn''t seem to function anymore. After losing Alpha Karius, she doesn''t think she could still live normally. She smiled sadly as the sight of the tree house hurt her again. Alpha Karius made sure that this ce was well maintained. He made some extensions and made the interior design more modern. He really treasures this ce so much... where their love bloomed when they were still starting as a secret couple. It hurts her heart and melts it at the same time. "How are you, dear?" Lilian let out a deep sigh when she heard the familiar voice of her mother. Calista is staying in the Moon stone pack for days now and was helping them to fix everything. The midnight pack is really a great help. Calista, together with some of her pack members, are there with them to bring back everything to normal. They sent help and healer witches to those wounded wolves in the moon stone pack. "Nothing, Mama," she answered. She lied again for the ninth time. She was actually thinking about... Alpha Karius again. As silly as may sound, she''s actually thinking that everything that happened was just a product of her imagination. How she wished everything is just like that... but it''s not. It was all real. And the pain on her heart wouldn''t just subside. "I understand what you feel, dear. Come here..." Calista said and opened her arms, initiating a hug. Lilian smiled sadly. Yeah, right. Calista also experienced the same situation as her. Calista lost her mate. But she truly admires her for still being strong after everything that she had been through. Her pack is in good condition until now despite her painful past. Lilian went to her mother and hugged her so tight, feeling her warmth. Calista is really making everything light for her. Her hugs were enough to calm her mind a bit. Lilian didn''t talk and was just savoring her mother''s hug. "So.. what are your ns now, hmm?" Calista asked. "I''m not pressuring you. I''ll be always here for you to handle... things if it''s still hard for you." Calista caressed Lilian''s hair gently. "I honestly don''t know, Mama..." Lilian almost whispered. "How were you able to... ept everything, Mama? My father... had the same faith as my mate." They are both... dead. And it actually amazes Lilian that Calista keeps on going despite what happened to her mate. Calista smiled sadly. "I never epted your father''s faith to... die, dear. It''s just that... I got used to it already. There''s no day that I never thought about your father. He will always be in my heart, no one could ever rece him. My love for him is overflowing and will never falter. And it hurts until now that he will nevere back to me again." She let out a deep sigh. "But I also realized that being hurt all the time won''t do anything good to me. I have a pack to take care of and they need me. My love for the pack was able to rece the pain in my heart. And then I also found you. You''re enough for me. And your father will always understand that. I learned to be content with those things that I got because maybe the goddesses have other ns for me. I will always hold onto that." Calista smiled as Lilian kept on listening to her. "It may be painful now but as time passes by, you will learn to also get used to it. Be strong, dear. You''ll get through this. I know you can do it..." Lilian closed her eyes, feeling her mother''s warmth even more. Good thing she''s here with her now. Because she will surely lose her own sanity if she''s not. After that talk, Lilian decided to visit the pack again. 61. The Traitor 61. The Traitor CHAPTER 61: The Traitor EVERYONE WAS SURPRISED when Lilian decided to appear in front of the whole Moon Stone Pack after the tragedy. She called for a meeting in the open field for everyone to attend. And now, standing in front of them all, was really painful for her. She''s alone... just some pack warriors beside her. She pictured this out that she will be with her mate once she meets them all. But she''s not... And it breaks her heart again and again thinking that she will face everyday of her life alone from now on. The morning sunlight hits her face that suddenly reminds her of the light that appeared after she... ended Alpha Karius'' life. The weather is nice but Lilian couldn''t seem to appreciate it because she''s still morning. Sunrise... it reminds everyone of a new beginning, just like what others said. But for her, it''s another pain... another day of living in sadness. Another day of mourning. It''s sad that the beauty of the surroundings doesn''t give her peace anymore. It will always remind her of Alpha Karius. "I know you''re already aware about the tragedy that just happened here in the pack. As the Luna, I want to sincerely apologize for what happened... for losing your loved ones. I know how it feels. They will never be forgotten. Please know that I am always with you," Lilian said as she bowed her head a bit in front of them all, making them gasped and shocked. They can''t believe that their Luna is lowering her head in front of them all. "And aside from that... our pack has also lost our dear... A-Alpha. It was hard for me as his Luna to lose him. He''s my one and only mate. This is breaking my heart but the only thing that we could do now is to... ept everything. He was the very strength and power of this pack but it''s sad that... everything turns out like this. I''m so sorry..." Lilian tried so hard being strong in front of the whole pack even though the corner of her eyes is already getting teary. This is so hard for her... acting like she''s not affected at all. She wanted to be strong for the pack from now on. Because all the responsibilities will be passed to her even though it''s hard for Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. her to learn everything in a short span of time. Seeing the pack with their sad expression is another thing. It was obvious on their faces that they are also mourning with her. Some are even crying silently for their loss and crying because their alpha is gone now. "I don''t know if I could do this... alone but I''m asking for your help... to fulfill all my duties as your Luna and to take care of all of you. This is all new to me and I don''t think I could even do this right, honestly speaking... because there''s no other wolf that could do this better other than Alpha Karius," Lilian continued as a matter of fact. One of the wolves suddenly raised her hand, making Lilian look at her. The wolf asked a question. "Luna... does this mean that you are the new Alpha from now on?" Lilian gulped the lump in her throat and sighed. "Yes. From now on, you can go to me if you want my help. I will work hard to be not just your Luna, but also your Alpha," she answered honestly. She couldn''t help but to somehow doubt herself. Can she really do this? Can she be the alpha that the pack wishes to have? If she''s going to answer her own question... her answer will be... no. No, Lilian can''t do it because aside from the fact that she doesn''t have proper training, she thinks that no one could really rule the whole Moon Stone pack other than Alpha Karius. It was quiet, it made Lilian anxious even more. So many thoughts are running in her mind but she couldn''t seem to find the right words to say. Lilian knows that some of the wolves in the pack are also doubting her, and she understands that pretty well. "They say you''re the chosen one of the moon goddess. And you... killed the alpha!" one of them suddenly said, making everyone murmur with everyone on their sides. "What?! She killed the Alpha!?" "I don''t think I could stomach this! Alpha Karius died in her hands!" "What will happen to us now? Alpha Karius is the best Alpha that this pack has ever had!" "Be careful of your words. She''s still our Luna and the Queen of all the wolves," Calyx said to the wolf who kept on murmuring some things against Lilian. It made Lilian gasp a bit when Calyx referred to her as the queen of the pack. Being the chosen one made her the queen. And she couldn''t just appreciate that title wholeheartedly. She''s a Kingless Queen. She smiled bitterly at her thoughts. Calyx knew how hard this was for Lilian. And he knew that she''s already having a hard time even though she''s still mourning for Alpha Karius'' death. He doubted her intentions to Alpha Karius before but seeing her this week... and pretending to be okay in front of the whole pack is something else. Calyx promised to herself that he will protect Luna at all cost... not because it was the right thing to do, but because Alpha Karius wanted her to do it. He will do everything for him, even if he''s not here anymore. Instead of being insulted, Lilian still smiled sadly. "Yes. I am the chosen one of the moon goddess. It was my fault why... Alpha Karius is gone now. I did it because it was the right thing to do even though it breaks my heart into pieces. It wasn''t my intention to end his life like that. It''s just that... I had no other choice." "So, it''s true? That Alpha Karius is indeed a demon? We had an Alpha that has the blood of evil!" Lilian''s expression darkened a bit. "It wasn''t Alpha Karius'' fault that he has the blood of a demon. Don''t disrespect him in front of me and say some things about him like that or I will do something in that sharp tongue of yours, " she said with full authority this time as she looked at the wolf that suddenly said that. She became serious this time. "Anyone who objects to my decision to be the Alpha of this pack, you can freely leave anytime you want. I''m not forcing you to ept my decision..." she added. Lilian gritted her teeth. She doesn''t really like how they bad-mouthed Alpha Karius like that even though he''s already gone. She had no choice but to be authoritative this time. She just hoped that she could fulfill all her obligations as the new alpha of the pack. *** "ARE YOU SURE on this one?" Calyx asked Lilian the moment they reached the dungeon. The dungeon is where they put the wolves who hadmitted a heavy sin. There are many wolves who died in that ce already. Some took their own life and some lost their sanity because of the deafening silence of the ce. Lilian nodded her head as the disgusting smell of the ce wees her nostrils. She didn''t mind and just kept on walking. It was her first time to see this ce and she pretty understand why the some of the wolves lose their own sanity here. Because even in the dark, Lilian could feel like someone is watching her in the dark even though there''s really none. She suddenly thought about... demons. They say that demons are evil. But she somehow thinks that demons are just inside us, lurking in our head, waiting for us tomit a sin. She erased her own thoughts and looked at the ce again. This is where they will put Jackson... Lilian already asked permission from Calista if they could jail Jackson there and she allowed her. Calista will be the one to inform his parents about it and Lilian is really thankful for that because she doesn''t think she could do it instead. It will surely break Jackson''s parents'' heart. She will not have the strength to talk to them about it. Now, Lilian will visit Jackson to clear some... things. "He''s a traitor. You shouldn''t put your attention too much on him anymore. He doesn''t deserve it," Calyx said with his monotonous tone. "And he already owned up with his mistakes. He hypnotized you with the wolfsbane, and kissed you without hesitation while Alpha Karius was watching. He sided with Gianna and was the one who released the demon of Alpha Karius. Those reasons are enough to be put here for the rest of his life." Lilian slowly nodded her head. She knew about those things already. All she thought was she willingly kissed Alpha Karius but it turns out he hypnotized her... and she didn''t even notice it. She sighed. "I want to hear everything from him." Sighing, Calyx just nodded his head as an answer and couldn''t seem to change Lilian''s mind anymore. They reached the cell where they put Jackson. "We''re here." He informed her. Lilian looked at Jackson who''s sitting inside his cell and looking down. There''s a faint lighting from the small window above but it wasn''t enough to light the ce. Jackson then looked up when he felt their presence. Two warriors are guarding outside. She looked at them, giving them a sign to leave for a moment. She wanted a private conversation with Jackson. "We''ll be outside," Calyx said, which made Lilian nod her head as an answer. She slowly went to Jackson and looked at his face. She confirmed something. He''s not the same man that she treated her brother anymore. He looked stressed. The bags under his eyes somehow made him older. It was as if he ages for years in just a couple of days. "Why, Jackson? Why do you have to... betray me like that?" She asked coldly, trying to contain her emotions. Her eyes are getting misty thinking how the hell did he turn out like this. She never knew that this day woulde... that he would betray her. Of all people, why him? She trusted him so much! He smiled, a sad one. "I''m sorry, Lilian..." She shook her heada aggressively, forcing to calm herself because of her threatening tears at the corner of her eyes. "I want answers." She demanded. "You will never understand me." "Then at least have the decency to exin." She''s trying to contain her emotions right now. She''s already on the verge of crying but then... this is all that she would get from him? She will never understand? Really?! "What for? You shouldn''t be talking to me anymore. I''m a... traitor." She pursed her lips and sighed heavily. "You''re not like this, Jackson. What happened to you?" Lilian asked him. He sighed. "I was... blinded with my toxic love for you. I''m sorry. That is the only way I know to get the love that I don''t deserve in the first ce." Her eyes watered on his answer even more. He loves her, huh. That is not enough reason to betray her! It hurts her so much that this man... the brother she wished to have... became like this. "You''re like a brother to me. And it hurts getting betrayed by you... of all people. I trusted you. You did so much for me. I owe you a lot but..." Lilian shook her head disappointedly. "I''m sorry..." "Your sorry will never be enough. Maybe if you didn''t do that... we were able to find another solution but you fucked everything up and sided with that woman!" Her tears rolled down to her cheeks. "Your sorrys will never be enough. I... I lost the man that I only love! I know it wasn''t all your fault but..." She looked down as she cried silently. "I know. You can... just kill me if you want. If that''s the only thing that would give you your peace of mind." Sheughed sarcastically. "No, I won''t. Just... die slowly here and rot alone. Dying is the easiest option for you," Lilian said as she stood up, leaving him there. 62. The Luna Is Pregnant! 62. The Luna Is Pregnant! CHAPTER 62: The Luna Is Pregnant! ALTHOUGH IT WAS hard for Lilian to adjust to her work, she still tries her best to amodate all the wolves who have problems that need her help. It was honestly draining her but there''s no room for She never really sees herself to be the leader of the pack someday. But then... things changed. Here she is now... leading a thousand wolves in one pack. She''s also the next in line sessor of Calista in Midnight Pack. The responsibility on her shoulders is really heavy but Calista never pressured her about it which was a good thing. "Luna, thank you so much. My son will finally be at rest now that he''s put to a nice ce," said Criselda, one of the old wolves in the pack who has a warrior son that died from the tragedy. Lilian smiled and held Criselda''s hand. "There''s no need to thank me, Criselda. This is the least thing that I could do after what he did to all of us. Your son did his best to save the pack. I will be forever grateful to him." Criselda also smiled, her tears brimming at the corner of her eyes, but it''s a tears of joy. Although Criselda lost her dear son, she feels at ease knowing that Lilian never abandoned them like a true Luna or Alpha should do. After being doubted by many wolves with her capabilities, Criselda could tell that Lilian really deserves her position. Lilian didn''t let herself be affected by the other wolves'' negative words towards her. "You are so kind. Thank you, Luna!" Criselda didn''t stop herself anymore. She came closer to Lilian and hugged her so tight even though the two pack warriors who were guarding Lilian almost stopped her. But Lilian was able to tell them that it was fine. She hugged Criselda back tightly. It warms her heart knowing that the wolves she helped in the pack appreciates her efforts. Criselda was one of the wolves who believed in Lilian despite being criticized by almost half of the pack. Some left the pack and Lilian didn''t stop them anymore. It was still their right to choose whether they wanted to stay or not. She''s not in the position anymore to stop them. Some of them believe that Alpha Karius is the only one who could rule the pack better. And Lilian understands their point. She won''t argue that because that''s the truth. She failed to recognize all his efforts here when she came back to his pack because she was too focused on her revenge back then. Lilian stuck on being called as ''Luna''. Well, she''s still the alpha of the pack but she prefers to be called that way. And... she wanted Alpha Karius to be the only alpha of the pack. Later that day, after her visitation to the families who had lost some warriors, she decided to take a rest for a moment in the tree house. But before that, she talked to Calyx to make sure that everyone in the pack is safe and secure. Even though there''s no threat from rogues anymore, she still makes sure that the pack warriors are guarding the pack. When she''s finally inside the tree house, she sat on the bed and sighed heavily. The silence finally embraced her again as some thoughts came rushing in her head. This is just the start of not being with Alpha Karius but it feels like it''s been a year already. It felt so long. She always yearns for his touch and kisses everyday. "I miss you so much," Lilian whispered in the air as if he could even hear her... as if he''s still with her. She sighed and slowlyid down on the bed as the tear slowly slid down the side of her face and smiled sadly. It was wrong but... there are times that Lilian wanted to end her life to stop feeling the pain in her chest. She sometimes thought that it was the only way to be with Alpha Karius again... in another life. But until now, she''s still holding on to the words of Tatianna to her. Tatianna told her to trust her. But how could she even trust her if she''s almost losing hope everyday? "When will the pain end?" She asked again in the air as she closed her eyes. *** EVERY DAY THAT passing by was a torture to Lilian. One thing that really helps her a lot to cope up with the pain and missing Alpha Karius was working. She knew that it wasn''t healthy anymore but it was the only way that she knows that could make her forget about Alpha Karius temporarily. Temporarily. Yes, it was all temporary because after a tiring day, when she''s alone again, she will think about him. It was hard but Lilian kept on holding on. If she gives up now, what will happen to the pack? She''s starting to love the pack already and she knew pretty well that that''s what Alpha Karius wants her to do. There''s no room for giving up. Lilian keeps on fighting her sadness everyday even though she feels like she''s not going to win at all. Sadness will always find its way to torture her. "You''ve been really working hard the past few days." Lilian stopped on checking some papers inside the library of the mansion before she looked up at Calyx. The mansion has been fixed by some of the wolves and of course, with the help of Calista''s pack. And it was a good thing that they were able to put it back on its normal state after the tragedy. There are so many casualties. But because of their hard works, everything is fine now. Lilian rarely stays at the mansion. She would only go there if she needed to check some things in the library or if she needed some books. She prefers staying in the tree house or Alpha Karius'' office. The mansion was a reminder of his... death for her. And aside from that, she''s seeing him on every corner of the mansion. It will be harder for her to ept that he''s gone if she will stay there longer. "It''s work. I can''t just dismiss this," Lilian replied as her gaze went back to the papers again. She''s actually checking the names of the families that she needed to give some help. They will be giving some help the next day like giving clothes, foods and other things that they might need for their everyday life. It''s the least thing that they could do for them. "You should at least rest. Aren''t you tired?" Concern isced on Calyx''s tone as his brows furrowed but Lilian still smiled at him. "Not really." Lilian shrugged her shoulders. "Check this list. I want all the names of the families of the pack warriors that have been injured and... died that day. We will send some help the next day." She This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. gave the paper to Calyx. Calyx nodded before epting the paper from Lilian. "Okay. I''ll go now so I can finish this sooner. I just checked on you here. I''ll ask Nadia to send you food hereter." "Thank you," she answered and smiled a bit and leaned her back on the chair where she''s sitting. She massaged the side of her head when she felt like it was aching again. Maybe because she hasn''t gotten enough sleep. Lilian hasn''t really been okay the past few days. That''s the truth. She was just keeping herself busy to stop some negative thoughts in her head. And now, she''s not that surprised anymore feeling a headache and it didn''t even help that she felt like she''s about to puke. She sighed heavily to relieve the churning of her stomach. Momentster, Nadia came inside holding a tray with food on it. She smiled seeing her. Among all the helpers in the mansion, Nadia was one of the survivors of that tragedy. Nadia was able to hide underground despite the danger that they may face since there are also some cracks on the floor of the mansion. And Lilian is d that Nadia was able to live after that. "Here''s your food, Luna," Nadia said as she ced the tray on the side of the table. Not long enough, Lilian frowned after seeing the scotch egg with orange juice beside it. She smells something weird. She tried getting the te and smelling the scotch egg but covered her nose immediately and put back the food. "What the hell? It doesn''t smell good to me!" She couldn''t help but to re at Nadia who''s obviously shocked at her sudden reaction upon smelling the food. "B-But, Luna... I just made that a while ago--" "I don''t care. Just make a new one," she said, cutting her off from speaking. Lilian decided to stand up to open the windows wider for the weird smell toe out but then, her world suddenly swirled around making her drop to the floor. "Luna! Help!" She heard Nadia shout but everything was already ck for her. Lilian fell into deep slumber with Nadia who''s already hysterical and called for help. *** "WHAT HAPPENED?" LILIAN asked as soon as she opened her eyes. Her brows furrowed at first and thought where she was, but then it slowly registered in her mind that she''s inside her room with Alpha Karius in the mansion. Lilian saw Penny, Nadia and Calyx just beside her bed. Lilian''s brows furrowed as she tried to get up from the bed and recalled what happened. From what she remembered, Nadia gave her food that she didn''t like the smell of. And when she''s about to open the window, she passed out. She gasped. Goodness. Is she... unwell? Why did that happen to her? "From now on, you''re not allowed to work that much anymore, Luna. It''s not good for you," Penny said seriously, making Lilian look at her. Lilian''s brows furrowed, not really liking Penny''s tone. She''s the Luna here so why the hell would she "And why should I follow you, huh?" Lilian asked, arching a brow, trying to intimidate her but it wasn''t effective. Penny remained serious. "This is for the better, Luna. You''re pregnant again. Take care of yourself and have enough rest." She gasped. What Penny said is still processing in her head. But is it really true? She''s... pregnant? Oh, goddess! 63. The Sad Reality 63. The Sad Reality CHAPTER 63: The Sad Reality SHE''S PREGNANT... AGAIN. Instead of being happy about the news, Lilian couldn''t help but to feel worried. This will be the second time that she''s going to bear a baby and the first one didn''t turn out well. Lilian couldn''t help but to question herself even more. She''s blessed with another baby by the goddess. But can she really be a good mother in the future? She lost her first baby before... reason for her to think that she doesn''t deserve to be a mother. And it freaking hurts for her. "This is your second pregnancy, Luna. This might be crucial to you since your first was..." Penny sighed, not really having the heart toplete what she''s saying since it was a bit sensitive on Lilian''s part. And aside from that, Calyx and Nadia might now know about it yet. She''s not in the position to tell them. "You''re overworking yourself the past few days, Luna. From now on, I will not let you do the work alone in the pack. You need to seek help," Calyx said as he sighed deeply. He never expected this to happen. This might be really hard for Lilian since Alpha Karius is not on her side anymore. And he knew how Lilian really worked hard for the past few days to get the trust of some wolves here in the pack who''s not really in favor of her as the new alpha of the pack. And sometimes, This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. even though Lilian was hiding it, Calyx could feel her sadness. He understands why she''s pouring all her attention to her work because she wanted to forget the pain of losing Alpha Karius, but now that she''s pregnant, he will do everything to make everything light for her especially now that she''s pregnant. Lilian remained silent, still processing what she found out in her head. The truth is she feels really... scared at this moment. She''s scared for her child inside her. There are so many what ifs in her head right now that she couldn''t form the right words to say. And the thought of getting all through this without Alpha Karius on her side is making her anxious even more. Can she really do this alone? What if... what if, like the first one, she will lose... no. She won''t. She can never bear the pain of losing another angel again. It will kill her for real this time. "What do you want, Luna? Is there any food that you want to eat? I could prepare it for you right away," Nadia said with her worried expression. Among the three, she''s the one who''s showing more emotions right now. Nadia could still remember how Lilian fell on the floor earlier. And if she fell the wrong way, something bad might happen to her. And she will me herself for that. Nadia doesn''t want to think about it anymore. Lilian let out a deep sigh. "Just... leave me alone for a moment," she said instead, not sure anymore how she was able to say that. They all nodded and momentster, they left her inside the room. Lilian bit her lower lip as she closed her eyes. Will she be a good mother to her child? Can she do this alone? *** "LUNA, THIS IS good for your pregnancy and your morning sickness. Here eat this..." Lilian snapped out from her thoughts when she heard the familiar voice of Nadia again. She already stopped working to be more focused on her pregnancy. She will only help Calyx with some light works. Good thing he''s good at what he''s doing and would ask her some of her insights sometimes. It was a challenge for her to stop working actually. Her head is not preupied again which means she''s going to think about Alpha Karius again. Sighing, Lilian smiled at Nadia. "Thank you, Nadia," she replied as she looked at the wide garden again. She prefers having her breakfast here since the air and weather is nice for today. It''s a perfect way to rx early this morning. She woke up early because of her morning sickness. And Lilian was d that Penny is staying in the mansion for the meantime to always check on her. Speaking of the mansion, Lilian decided to stay there from now on. She won''t be staying in the tree house for the time being since it''s dangerous for her. She needs to take care of herself thoroughly. "Are you okay, Luna? Do you need anything?" Nadia asked, still not leaving Lilian. Lilian shook her head. "Yes, I''m fine. Don''t worry." Nadia sighed, still not really sure if she''s going to leave Lilian already. She saw the hesitation and worries in Lilian''s eyes yesterday after Penny told her that she''s pregnant. And Nadia also found out about her first pregnancy. Now, everything had sunk into her. Lilian''s hatred before towards her and Alpha Karius was valid. She''s not justifying her revenge but somehow, maybe it was her way to cope up with the pain that she bore for a long time when she was away from the pack. Nadia clearly understands everything now. So, she promised to herself that she will do everything for Lilian from now on. "You can leave, Nadia. I''m sure there are so many things to do in the mansion right now. I will be fine here," Lilian said again. Nadia became silent for a few seconds. "Luna..." "Yes?" "E-Even though you don''t really like my presence that much, I will always be here for you," Nadia said, not really sure how she found the courage to say those words. Lilian nodded as she smiled. "I''ll take note of that, Nadia." Nadia also smiled before she stood up and said, "Call my name if you need anything, Luna." She finally took her leave after that and went back inside the mansion. Meanwhile, Lilian''s heart melted the moment she realized that she''s not really alone in this pregnancy. Nadia is there. Penny and Calyx are also there for her. The other new helpers are also there to help her. She smiled. At least she has them all. Lilian started eating the food that Nadia gave her and ate. It was actually good for her but she doesn''t like the smell. But for her baby, she will endure it. It''s healthy for her pregnancy so she will eat it for her baby to be healthy inside her. In the midst of her meal, the wind blew her face, making her smile again. But she dropped her spoon immediately when she saw a silhouette near the flowers where she used to run before. Her brows furrowed. "Who''s that?" she asked, even though she''s not actually sure if there''s even someone there. Lilian immediately stood up and quickly went to the direction where she saw the silhouette. But then, her eyes widened in shock when the familiar scent lingered in the air as she gasped for air. "A-Alpha Karius..." Lilian whispered his name as her eyes watered, still trying to find him. "Alpha Karius!" Lilian knows that she''s just hurting herself. She knew that it was... so impossible that he''s really here. But she was able to smell him! His scent still lingers in the air! She couldn''t help but to cry as she tried to find him. But to her disappointment, she couldn''t see him. It was making her heart hurt even more. "P-Please, stop this game, love. Come o-out now..." she whispered again as she sobbed painfully. No, she could smell him! He''s here! He''s still here! "Luna!" Lilian gasped when she heard the familiar voice of Calyx. She saw him with his worried expression. "What are you doing here?" asked Calyx. "And why are you crying?!" "C-Calyx! Can''t you smell him? Alpha Karius is here! He''s here!" Lilian desperately told him while crying. Calyx brows furrowed. "What? What are you saying--" "I was able to sniff his scent!" "But that''s impossible! Alpha Karius is dead! He''s gone!" Calyx suddenly shouted. And Lilian felt like she had been poured with cold ice. Yeah, right. He''s... dead. So, it''s really impossible. What Calyx said is the sad reality. It''s impossible that she was able to sniff his scent. 64. The Friend 64. The Friend CHAPTER 64: The Friend SIX YEARS LATER... "KILL! KILL!" Lilian called her five years old son at the backyard of the mansion with a yful smirk on her lips. Even though her son is a bit far from her direction, she could still smell him. His son could be really yful if he wants to. He tends to y around a lot but could also be serious in other things. As what she promised to him, they are going to y together once she''s done with her duties. She''s been really busy in the pack for a while now since the nearing Blood Moon will be held in an open space this time which will happen in a field in the Moon Stone pack so she''s been worrying a lot about some other things. Lilian was really hands on that matter since she doesn''t want to disappoint the wolves. It took her a few days before she could bond with her son again. She already missed him so much! And now, she''s fulfilling it and her son suggested earlier to her that they are going to y hide and seek. "Boo!" Lilian giggled when she found him hiding in the bushes. He pouted. "Mama! You found me so fast!" He said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, with his brows meeting this time like he''s mad already. It really reminds her of her... mate. Instead of being sad on her own thoughts, Lilian just smiled looking at her adorable son. Killian Ambrose Lennox or "Kill" for short is her one and only son. He really looked like his father a lot. From his eyes, brows, pointed nose and thin pinkish lips... there''s no doubt that Alpha Karius is his father. It was as if Lilian had been staring at the younger version of Alpha Karius whenever she looked at her son. The way he smirked, frowned or chuckled... It always reminds her of Alpha Karius so much. Kill is the reason why her pains and heartaches disappeared after she lost Alpha Karius. He became her strength to her everyday battles. There are times that she would still miss Alpha Karius but it''s not that painful anymore. Killian was able to fill all the gaps that she felt in her chest. He''s her ball of sunshine when darkness and loneliness is creeping in her system again. All throughout the years that she''s not with Alpha Karius anymore, Lilian still feels the regrets in her heart. She regretted that she wasn''t able to show her affection to him when she was still alive. She regrets that she didn''t tell how much she loved him many times when she still had the chance. If only she did all of it when she was still here... maybe she won''t have these regrets... And what''s really sad is the fact that she only realized this now. But she chose to think positively from now on. And besides, she poured all her attention to her little one... the future alpha of the pack, Killian. He''s the most beautiful thing that happened to her after all that she had been through... after all the disaster that she experienced before. "What do you want for snacks, honey?" Lilian asked her son as they made their way back towards the mansion. It''s already ten in the morning and they have been ying for almost three hours already. "Anything, mama!" he replied as they were weed by the helpers of the mansion with a smile on their lips. They are all fond of Killian, reason for them sometimes spoiling him which Lilian is really against sometimes. They helped Killian change her clothes and went back to the dining table with the snacks that Nadia prepared for him. While eating, Lilian stared at her son again and sighed as she wiped Killian''s lips. "Where do you want to go next, honey?" Lilian asked him. "To the falls, Mama. I want to see my friend again. I missed him already," he answered. Lilian''s brows furrowed. Killian is always talking about his friend that she never once meet yet. She wanted to know about her son''s friend to make sure if he''s safe with him. Killian is obviously happy with his so called friend but Lilian still wants to make sure. "Okay. Let''s go thereter." Lilian slightly nods her head. *** "NADIA, YOU''RE ALWAYS checking on my son, right?" Lilian asked Nadia when she saw her wiping the dust on the table. When Killian was done eating, he was assisted by one of the helpers to his room to take a dump first before they went to the falls like what he wanted. Nadia''s brows furrowed. "Yes, Luna. Why?" "Hmm, maybe you already met his friend on the falls? Killian told me again about his friend that he''s meeting there." "Friend? I only know Uriel and Vince as his friends. He never once told me about his friends there. How strange..." Nadia''s head tilted a bit, like she''s also thinking. Uriel and Vince are the sons of Calyx and his mate, Vina. They are the only friends of Killian that Lilian is familiar with since he''s always ying with them whenever she''s not around. When she''s going to the office, she would drop Killian in Calyx''s house to y with his two sons. "I just thought you knew about it..." Lilian shrugged her shoulders. "I''m sorry, Luna. I''ll try to find out about it." "No need to say sorry, Nadia. It''s fine. I was just curious since Killian won''t say a name." Nadia slowly nodded her head. Secondster, Killian came into Lilian''s direction and excitedly hugged her. "I''m so excited, Mama! I''m sure my friend is also excited to see me!" Lilian just smiled as she held Killian''s small hand. It took them a couple of minutes before they reached the falls. Killian kept on screaming ij excitement making Lilian smile. The water on the falls looks so unreal because it looks like it''s shining from the sunlight. "Let''s swim, Mama!" Killian shouted at her as he removed all his clothes. He immediately jumped in the water and swam. Lilian is not worrying that he might drown since when he was still months old, he''s already training how This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. to swim. And he learned faster than the other kids with the same age as him. It''s not that surprising anymore since he got the alpha''s blood Lilian is also the chosen one of the moon goddesses. Many wolves are even saying that Killian is such a greatbination of her and Alpha Karius. Some witches said that he''s special... and the moon goddess must''ve given him something that they haven''t discovered yet and when the timees that he will have his own ability, it will be dangerous if it won''t be controlled properly. But Lilian is not really pressuring her son. She lets him y like any normal kid should do and lets him do what he wants as long as it''s for the better. And he''s also training as the future alpha of the pack. The earlier the better but in moderation for him to enjoy his childhood first. It took a couple of minutes before Lilian also decided to swim. Killian isn''t tired from swimming yet and she could already hear his giggles in the cave near the falls. Her brows furrowed. It seems like he''s with someone... probably with his friend that he keeps on telling her about? She shrugged her shoulders and decided to just follow him. Removing her clothes and leaving her undergarments, Lilian swam on the cold water making her shiver all over her body. She followed Killian until she reached the cave. Just a few meters away from her, she saw the silhouette of her son sitting on a big rock with a... man. His back is facing her making the brows on her forehead meeting even more. "Killian, honey?" Lilian called the attention on her son, making him look at her. Killian smiled. "Hello, mama! This is my friend, his name is Rius..." he introduced his friend. And as cliche as it may sound, everything suddenly became slow motion to Lilian. The man slowly looked at him, topless and wet from the cold water with his serious expression. "Hi... love." End: The Alphas Side (Part I) End: The Alpha''s Side (Part I) END: The Alpha''s Side (Part I) **ALPHA KARIUS'' POV** WHEN I FOUND out about my other side, I loathed myself so much. Of all people... why does it have to be me? Why do I have to have it too? I''ve been a good boy when I was young despite the cold treatment of my mother before. Even though I was young, I could still feel the fear of the helpers on me. Only Nadia was good enough for me despite me being a... monster. Monster. That''s what I heard from the other pups before after what I did to Bryan... the kid that I killed because of not controlling my own demon. I was so scared of myself. I was so mad too for doing that to a kid. I became aloof from the other kids and only Calyx has the courage to go near me. I tried shooing him away but he was so persistent! Until I didn''t shoo him away anymore. He''s my most genuine friend and brother. Sighing, a memory from my childhood suddenly rushed in her mind like a whirlwind... "Never let anyone know about what happened to that kid named Bryan. Anyone who will make a word about it will be punished." I could hear my mother talking to someone in thd library before. She was so furious to the point that I could hear a loud thud on a table. I remained standing outside the library as I listened to her. I was curious when she mentioned... Bryan. "And find the writer who published this damn book! How dare he or she publish here about my son being a..." She paused a bit and sighed deeply. "What happened will never be released in public!" "Yes, Luna." "Make sure you do this clean. I just want to protect my son. He''s still so young to experience being judged like that! I will never let anyone look down on him. He''s the future alpha of the pack and I''ll do everything to not taint his name while he''s still young..." With that, I straightened my back with my now teary eyes. My mother wanted to protect me... I heard it loud and clear. It warms my heart that I couldn''t help but to cry. I could still hear her talking but then what she said earlier really warms my heart. I wasn''t able to move in my position until the door suddenly opened revealing my mother. I looked up to him and didn''t bother to wipe the tears on my eyes anymore. "My son... darling. Don''t worry. I got this. I will protect you. I''m sorry for everything," she said as she suddenly wrapped me in a warm hug. I couldn''t help but to cry even more. I''ve been waiting for this... I''ve been waiting for this to finally happen. I savored every moment with my mother. "I love you, Mama..." I whispered while sobbing, still hugging her tightly. "I love you too, son." She caressed my hair and kissed my forehead. That scene became my strength... my reason to fight my demon and locked it at the deepest part of my system. And I did... I was able to keep it hidden. It all went well. I became the better version of myself. I trained as the next alpha. I also gained more confidence and made everyone proud of all my achievements. And what I really like the most that happened to me was... her. My Luna. My Queen. My Love. Lilian Jade Montgomery. The first thing that I noticed about her was the fact that she''s not afraid to stand up for what ''s right. And the fact that she''s glowing when I saw him hits something in my chest. Is it love at first sight? Damn. It was corny but maybe... that''s what happened. A memory came to my mind again back when I first saw her. "P-Please, give me another chance--" "Chance?! Don''t fuckingmand me! You''re just an omega!" Mason screamed at the elderly wolf. I clenched my jaw seeing that scene. The elderly wolfmitted a sin. And I don''t tolerate those wolves who''re doing bad so I always let Mason punished who will do something bad, whether you''re a higher rank wolf or lower rank wolf. The omegas have been really a pain in the ass in the pack. Even though I pity them sometimes, I couldn''t just shrug off the idea of some of them doing bad. Some would steal and some would hurt other wolves. So, even though I had an idea of removing the barrier between the lower ranks and higher rank wolves, I just can''t since some are not in favor of it. I should consider the other wolves'' ideas first. "I''ll do his part instead. I''ll clean his area." I automatically looked at the brave woman who suddenly spoke up for the elderly wolf. It was an This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. omega, but unlike the other women here, I instantly felt something inside me... like my heart skipped a beat and the butterflies in my stomach were flying wildly. "And who are you to stand for him?!" Mason shouted at the brave woman. "I''m Lilian..." she answered with her soft voice that contradicts her brave expression. She looked at the elderly wolf with sympathy before looking at Mason again. "Hah! I still don''t care. If that''s what you want, then clean the whole ce instead!" Mason shouted at her. And that made me interrupt. I didn''t know what''s gotten into me when I went to them, my gaze was still on the woman. "What''s happening here?" I asked with my most authoritative tone, my gaze didn''t leave the woman. "Alpha!" Mason said as he bowed his head a bit together with the other wolves. They are all surprised with my sudden presence here. "I was just punishing him, Alpha." I clenched my jaw. "Just let it pass. Follow me. I have something to do for you," I said instead and looked at the woman again. Lilian... what a beautiful name. She looked at my direction and I wasn''t sure if I did really see how her cheeks blushed the moment our gazes met. Nevertheless, she''s still pretty. That day... I made a decision to make her mine. Mine alone. Because I am sure that I wouldn''t be able to see her with someone else. End: The Alphas Side (Part II) End: The Alpha''s Side (Part II) END: The Alpha''s Side (Part II) I WAS THE HAPPIEST when she noticed my feelings for her. Our rtionship has been a roller coaster ride. There are times that I hated to be an Alpha and thought to be just a simple and ordinary wolf. Because in that way, there will be no moreptions. Our rtionship won''t be a secret in the first ce. She reminds me of the moon... my moon. Because she gave light to the darkness that I was feeling and trying to hide for a long time. My moon because she''s the only ruler of my own feelings for her. I''m her wave. Only her could tame me. Only her. Our rtionship wasn''t perfect. It went through rocks and challenges. But my feelings for her never This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. falter despite the wrong decisions I have made in the past. I chose to hurt her because it was the only way to save my own pack... But if I only knew what she''s gotten through that time, I wouldn''t mind dropping the pack carelessly. If I only knew that she was already pregnant and carrying my first born, I''d forget about everything and be selfish just for once. In that way, maybe I could''ve saved them. Lilian became someone that I almost couldn''t recognize. She became cold and lost the shimmer in her eyes whenever she looked at me after disappearing for a long time. They all thought she was already dead. But I didn''t lose hope. So, when I saw her again, I was happy even though she doesn''t feel the same way towards me anymore. "How dare you ask me that question. I''ve never been this fine when I was still in your pack." I could still remember those words he told me on that night. She has never been this fine in my pack. And it hurts because she seems well like nothing happened to her after she disappeared while I was left still waiting for her to return. That night, something happened between us again. And I was like a hungry teenage wolf and devoured her. I didn''t want her to think that I was taking advantage of her situation at that time since she was also in heat, but at the back of my mind, I wanted it too. I wanted to feel her again. I wanted to feel her skin on mine and ran my tongue on her sexy cunt. I felt like I was alive again... I felt like something had awakened inside me that only Lilian could bring back to life. Things changed when she returned to my pack that she loathed the most. Within those time that I wasn''t with her, I tried to be the better alpha of the pack. I worked hard to be good alpha for her. My hard works are purely dedicated for her so that she won''t have a reason to leave me again. I put up with all her coldness and cruelty towards me. I already expected that to happen after everything that I did to her but then, I couldn''t help but to feel hurt again and again. It was all my fault and I told myself to ept it all because that''s the only way for me to ask for her forgiveness. "Then, brace yourself. You will taste my sweetest revenge soon." Revenge. That''s what she wants. Some would call me dumb for still letting her in my pack despite her motives. But I dly embraced it all. And that''s what I thought... Because the moment I saw her kiss someone else, I lost it. It was fucking painful. My mate and Luna... kissing another man is another thing. It was piercing my heart to the tiniest pieces. I felt like I was already dying at that time. But I chose to forgive her. She''s mad and she wanted to hurt me so bad, then so be it. Even if I looked like a clown to everyone. The respected Alpha of the Moon Stone pack... has been cheated by his own mate... his Luna. What a fucking news! But then, I deserved all the pain. I fucking deserved it for hurting her before and letting her alone gone through in her pregnancy that I wasn''t even aware in the first ce. I was even more devastated that we lost our little angel without my knowledge. So... I deserve this all. I should suffer even more! In the midst of these pains, something unexpected happened, too. I thought we could fix it but... not anymore. My demon came back after being locked for a long time. And it was more powerful this time to the point that I hurted Lilian again. I almost killed her. So maybe, I deserve to die, too... I whispered to her my sweetest I love you despite seeing her pain and cries. I''m d that she was the one who ended my life. She''s the only one that would hurt me multiple times. "My Lilian, love... I hope we can see each other again," I whispered silently in the air as I started to disappear. Death. Maybe it was all destiny to be ended this way. I never thought of disappearing this way... forever. But I couldn''t help it anymore. The moon goddess has finally decided to end my life this way. Or so I thought... "Alpha Karius." When I opened my eyes again, all that I could see was brightness and light, it reminded me of my Lilian. The surroundings were new to me. It was a very nice ce, I almost thought that I''m already in paradise. "Where am I?" I asked myself as I slowly got up from the ground. I looked around to see the source of that soft voice that I just heard just a few meters away from me. The ce was so pretty that I almost thought that it''s just a product of my imagination. Is this all real? It looks magical... Secondster, I saw a woman walking towards my direction as my brows furrowed even more. "I''ll give you another chance to live again with your Luna. But... Do you trust me?" I arched my brow hearing it. Trust... is something that it''s hard for me to give to someone. But should I? End: The Alphas Side (Part III) End: The Alpha''s Side (Part III) END: The Alpha''s Side (Part III) I AM HONESTLY doubting her. Can I really trust her? She introduced herself as Tatianna, the moon goddess. I don''t know if she''s even real and if I should really trust her. "I gave your Luna a mission to eliminate all the darkness and evilness in this world. She is my chosen one," Tatianna said as she smiled a bit. "I admire her courage so much. I know how painful it is for her to... also kill you." My brows furrowed even more. And then the next moment, she''s already telling me about Lilian''s mission and her being the chosen one, the reason why she suddenly has a bigger wolf than an ordinary wolf should have. I was in awe as I listened to Tatianna. It took a couple of seconds before I fully absorbed what she''s saying. But then something inside me was telling me that I should believe her. So, I trusted her and I let her help me even though it was hard for me. "This will take a long. You need to fully remove the demon in your system," she said with her most serious tone. "I understand," I answered. "But... are you really willing to wait? What you''re about to do is a bit risky. Other than that, you will have to be away from your... family." That made me think a bit. Am I really willing to wait? Of course. Because if that''s will actually take to be more deserving to Lilian, then so be it. "Your wolf will be at risk. There''s no guarantee that he will survive as I fully remove the demon." I gulped. My wolf is so precious to me. I don''t know if I could even afford to lose him. But then, I wanted to be more deserving to Lilian. That''s what matters the most. "Yes, I''m willing to r-risk it..." I answered half-heartedly as I felt something stirred inside me. I could feel how my wolf whimpered in sadness. But then, I also know that he will also understand my decision soon. "Okay. Just hold on. Your family is waiting for you. Your Luna is pregnant again. I gasped in surprise. My Lilian is... pregnant again? Oh, goddess. I didn''t expect to know this way. I felt useless again. I felt so sad knowing that I won''t be around her again for the second time. "This should be quick then. I want to be with her sooner," I said with my most determined tone as I sighed deeply. Tatianna nodded before she uttered something that made me wrapped inside a ball of light. It was painful as hell. I didn''t know how I even survived it all. I felt like I was already losing my consciousness but then, I thought about Lilian and our unborn child. I don''t want to be away from her again. So, I better not fuck this up for the ninth time and I should be strong for them. It indeed took so much time. When I woke up, I came back again but things had changed. I''m no longer the alpha that everyone thought of me before. It was a good thing that I didn''t lose my wolf but then, he became weaker. However, I''m so grateful that he made it. We both survived it together. I came back but don''t have the courage to be the alpha again of my previous pack. But I don''t take it in a negative way. My Lilian... she was able to rule the pack while taking care of our child. I saw it all. I saw how she grew into a fine woman and a mother. And I was a coward for not going to her sooner and just watched her from afar. There are times that she would even smell my scent and cry when she wouldn''t find me. I was more than willing to go to her but at the back of my mind, I thought that it''s still not time. Until I didn''t notice the time anymore. When I first saw my son who looked like me, I felt like I was on cloud nine. He''s just so like me. And I loved him the first time I looked at him. He grew up as a nice and kind kid, just like his Mama. "I''m your father. Let''s keep this as a secret first," I said to Killian when he''s near the falls again. Killian gasped before he giggled. "I know. Mama tells me so much about you!" Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "Really?" "Yes, yes! She said she loves you so much! But, Papa... why do you have to be away from us?" Killian pouted. I just smiled at him and didn''t bother to answer it anymore. I have to be away from him and her mother because... I don''t think I still have the face to look at her mother. I hurted her a lot of times already and I''m such a thick-faced if I still go near her like nothing happened at all. And I almost killed her... the fear of seeing that scene again almost made me lose my own sanity. My appearances with Killian became more frequent. He''s a bubbly kid. A ball of sunshine to my days. Until the day that Lilian will see me again came... "Hi... love," I greeted her nervously as I saw how her tears were threatening to fall down her cheeks. She''s still gorgeous as ever. The wet water made the curves of her body to be emphasized even more. But then, she''s ring at me. "No... this is just a dream. You''re not really here," she whispered that didn''t escape from my ear. I sighed as I took Killian and carried him in my arms. I slowly strode closer towards my mate and when I finally saw her up close, I also couldn''t help but to be emotional. "My Luna... this is real. I came back. I''m sorry if I took this long," I said to her as I raised my hand to brushed away the tears that slid down her pretty face. "Please, don''t cry at night anymore, Mama. Papa is already here." Killian suddenly said that made me guilty even more. She''s crying at night and I was away so I wasn''t able to wipe her tears away. "Forgive me, love..." I whispered again. "Is that you, A-Alpha Karius?" She asked as she lifted her hand to feel my cheeks, thinking if I''m real or just a product of her imagination. "Yes, love." "You.. came back for us?" I slowly nodded my head as an answer. "Oh goddess!" She blurted out as she suddenly hugged me tight and cried on my bare chest. I was just soothing her and caressing her back to make her feel better, but then my crotch suddenly twitched which she probably felt that she looked at me with a grin despite the tears on her eyes. "Let''s go home?" I smiled. "I''m already home, Love. You and Killian are my home." I hugged her again tightly. - END 2023 | YULIANNE <3 The Novel will be updated first on this website.
