CHAPTER 53: The Job Well Done
"ARGH!" ALPHA KARIUS held his neck as his throat suddenly ached for some unknown reasons. The
pain escalated 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
playful 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's composed 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 slate with him.
Lilian never knew that this day would come... 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 Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
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.
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 Clarine. 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 contemplated 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 gaze laid on Lilian's body.
She's so damn sexy that his canines are about to come 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 to complete 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 planning 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 black 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 to come 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.
Clarine-- 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 playfully when she saw that there were two
wolves guarding the gates.
"Where are you going, Miss Clarine?" 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 to complete what he was saying anymore when she suddenly held his neck tightly so
that he didn't see it coming 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
speculate 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 Clarine 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.
Gianna laughed 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?
