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 plans 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 place.
"Soon. I'll come 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 plans on coming 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 plans 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 only complicate things.
"I'll always come 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 plans 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 plans
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 accepting it all. Other than that, he's also
good in... bed. Of course, she must admit that but she has no plans 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 Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
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 relay 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 blaming 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 never come 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 succumb 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 contemplating 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 explain 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 explains 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
mother was never wrong," he said so surely.
