45: The Lennox Family
CHAPTER 45: The Lennox Family
ALPHA KARIUS, TOGETHER with the pack warriors decided to guard the places that rogues would
possibly attack. He doubled the security of his pack, especially the school of pups since that's the last
place 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 playing with her mind or lying to her. But then Jackson is not a man
like that. He's not the type that would really play 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
village 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 be late 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 suddenly comes 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. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
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
entered the library, she couldn't help but to feel amazed knowing how large 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 glass window making the light outside penetrate the insides of the library. There are
some piles of papers above it and a lampshade. 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 display her picture there? Her wolf is even liking the
idea of Alpha Karius displaying 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 accept 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 different language 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 black 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 to comment 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 England. It was said that they are one of the wealthiest clan of wolves even before since
their ancestors believed that they were hiding gold bars in a safe place where only a few of the family
could access.
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 Belaya 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... How come 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 Belaya Lennox didn't publicize her mate. It was because she was...
violated 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 violated 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 accept 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.
