CHAPTER 47: The Villain
"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 occasion 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 accepted 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 accept 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?
Chocolates? 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 home later?" 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 alarming." 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 be late 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 plans 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 accepted the letters. Seconds later, 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 the last 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 welcomed her.
'Let's meet again, Lilian. I'll wait for you in the same place where we last 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 they last 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 glare 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. NôvelDrama.Org content.
"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 time comes 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.
"Woah, you all grow up so fast, babies!" Clarine giggled as she picked the eggplant for her food later.
She treats her plants like her babies. "But, sadly, I'm gonna eat you all now..." She pouted as if the
vegetables could even understand her.
Clarine spent all her time harvesting her vegetables not knowing that someone was staring at her from
behind.
"Wow. That's a lot."
Clarine 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. Clarine wouldn't deny the fact that she did really become prettier but she
doesn't have the courage to voice it out anymore since she suddenly felt scared around her.
"G-Gianna..." Clarine called her name.
"You have a very sharp memory, huh." Gianna took a step closer, making Clarine unconsciously step
back a bit. How come she's here again? Clarine 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
Clarine and raised her hand. She lifted Clarine on her neck, choking her like she weighed nothing at all.
She sucked all her energy until Clarine was not breathing anymore.
Seconds later, Gianna smirked evilly. "Well, well... it's time for the villain to make her move..." she
whispered before she took over Clarine's lifeless body.
