The Omega's Sweetest 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 place 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 clawed 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 splattered on the wall. It was as if someone who did this to her is a monster.

She clenched her jaw when she remembered Clarine'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.

Seconds later, 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

not. If only she had the ability to read minds...

"L-Luna, aren't you going to ask Clarine, 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 Clarine is currently staying. Clarine 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 speculate. 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 Clarine'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

welcomed by Clarine'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 not comfortable

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!" Clarine cried on his Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

chest and buried her face there. He had no other choice but to lift his hand and tapped her back a bit,

comforting her when her cries became louder.

Meanwhile, Lilian was actually shocked by what she saw just a few meters away from her. She doesn't

want to think bad about Clarine 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 clawing her off from Alpha Karius and just sighed deeply.

Something is really not right here. Clarine is not like her usual self.

Alpha Karius looked at Calyx who just came inside. "Calyx, investigate what happened," he

commanded with his alpha tone. Calyx just nodded and immediately went to the place where they

found the body.

Seconds later, he looked at Clarine 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, Clarine. You need to rest," Alpha Karius almost whispered to her and Clarine

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

Clarine 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 Clarine 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 Clarine, Lilian. I'm just doing what an Alpha should do to

his own pack. That's the right thing to do as Clarine 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

played 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 to laugh 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 relationship

before after her relationship 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 Clarine. 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 plans 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 Clarine 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.
