CHAPTER 31: The Meeting Place
IT'S BEEN A WEEK but Lilian didn't talk that much with Alpha Karius anymore. She didn't roam around
the pack anymore as their last talk just lingered in her mind. She didn't respond to what he said that
time anymore and was just staring at him without any hint of emotion in his face. They're just staring at
each other until the kids come back together with their Teacher Naia. They continued their lecture for
that day like Alpha Karius didn't open up about it.
Their child is such a sensitive topic for her. And Alpha Karius opening it up to her is making her
remember the sole reason why she's doing her revenge. Because the truth is, she's not only doing it for
what happened to her before. She wanted to avenge her unborn child... their child who didn't have the
chance to see the world. The child that she could've saved in the past if only Alpha Karius didn't hurt
her.
Lilian jolted a bit on her bed when she heard the knock on her door the next morning. She lazily got up
and opened the door revealing Nadia holding a tray with her breakfast. She's not really going out when
she knows that Alpha Karius is still in the mansion. She would only go out when she knows that he's
already out for his Alpha duties.
And Alpha Karius seemed to know about her avoiding him because he didn't budge her anymore after
that, although he was trying to be civil to her and would talk to her about simple things when they saw
each other in the mansion.
"Here's your breakfast, Luna..." Nadia said as she gently put the tray on the side table. It was her
breakfast, just bread and a coffee like what she wanted. She's not really used to eating heavy breakfast
in the morning so this is enough for her.
Lilian smiled a bit at Nadia. "Thank you," she replied, making Nadia's brows furrowed a bit. Nadia
couldn't help but to think that maybe there's something wrong with their Luna right now. Lilian had been
so mean to her for the past days. And she gets why she's acting that way. Hearing her thank you is
such a big confusion to her.
Nadia couldn't help but to think about what happened in the past... where she did nothing on Gianna's
stunt and accused Lilian for something that she didn't even do. Nadia knew that Lilian did it but she
didn't want Gianna to get mad at her that time since they all thought that she's their Luna... but it all
turned out that it was all just a setup. Alpha Karius just used her and later on got rid of her from the
pack.
The past few days, Lilian realized that even though she would show her bitchy side to Nadia, she won't
just budge. Nadia never talks back to her and would just quietly follow what she wants and Lilian hates
it. She hates it that she doesn't get any reaction from her that she gets tired from being bitch to her.
She wanted to see her crying in front of her or to be angry at her but it seems like that's impossible to
happen now.
Nadia just smiled at her, actually happy inside her head because Lilian isn't mean to her right now.
What happened the other day where she didn't like the food they cooked and cooked something new
for five minutes was still so fresh to her. Nadia wanted to create a good impression on her now even
though her view towards her was already tainted because of what happened in the past.
"Is the Alpha still downstairs?" She asked Nadia.
"The Alpha already left for his duty, Luna."
Lilian nodded. This morning, she just wanted to go to the garden later to look at the flowers that relaxed
her whenever she looked at them from the balcony of her room. She wanted to see it up close this
time. They all looked pretty from afar and she thinks that they are prettier up close, too.
Nadia later left as Lilian started to eat her breakfast. She decided to take a bath after that and change
into her most comfortable dress.
Lilian went downstairs sporting her smiling face making the other helpers cleaning looked at her
weirdly. She's not really approachable whenever they are looking at her so she gets why they are
gazing at her with their confused expression.
"Good morning!" Lilian greeted the helpers cheerfully.
It was clear that they were a bit hesitant if they would greet her back since Lilian saw how the other one
pinch the side of the other helper. But then, they looked at her with their nervous expression before
they greeted her back with a bit of hesitation in their tone.
"G-Good morning, Luna..."
Lilian just nodded. "I'll just roam around the garden." She informed them and they just both nodded.
Lilian walked her way to the garden and smiled as soon as she smelled the fresh breeze of the air that Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
had a hint of the fragrant flowers. The garden was actually wide. She could even shift here and run
around with her wolf form if she wants but she didn't want that to happen so she prefers just wandering
around the wide garden. There are different varieties of flowers that are well taken care of. She ran
around giggling like a kid, suddenly forgetting about her revenge and her issue on Alpha Karius and
everyone around her.
She suddenly felt like a kid again... no problems and just playing around. She closed her eyes and held
the flowers as she walked with a smile on her lips, feeling the wind and the sunlight kissed her skin.
But her smile suddenly vanished when she felt another familiar presence. She opened her eyes again
and saw a familiar figure of a woman just a few distance from her.
"L-Lilian..."
She pursed her lips. Lilian never knew that she would show up here in front of her now. She's not
expecting this to happen. But she smiled, even though she's the reason why Alpha Karius knew about
their unborn child. She told him about it.
"Penny." Lilian called her name as she strode closer towards her direction.
As soon as she got closer to Penny, she smiled even though she could see the tears forming in the
corner of her eyes.
"Y-You're really here, Lilian."
"Call me Luna. That's how you should address me from now on. I'm mated to the Alpha of this pack,"
Lilian replied coldly like she's trying to intimidate her but still flashing her sweet smile in front of Penny.
Penny, on the other hand, shivers at Lilian's coldness. She already knew that she changed a lot but not
to this extent. Even from afar, she already felt the coldness of her aura making her step back a bit. She
couldn't believe Lilian's aura had become heavier despite being an Omega.
"I'm sorry, Luna. Uh..." Penny suddenly got lost on words. She doesn't know what to say now that Lilian
is just in front of her now.
"You told him about it."
"A-About what, Luna?" Penny's brows furrowed.
"My... child."
A gasp escaped from Penny's lips, not expecting that Lilian would open up about it. "I-I'm sorry, Luna."
She looked down, suddenly felt scared to meet Lilian's gaze. "I just thought that he deserved to know
about it especially when... we all thought that you're already... d-dead that time."
Lilian didn't talk after that for a moment that made Penny nervous. She played with her own hands that
are now slightly shaking because she's really intimidated at this version of Lilian now. But then, she
stiffened when she heard Lilian's slight chuckle.
"I'm just kidding. Don't be so serious, Penny! Loosen up a bit, c'mon!" Lilian even tapped her shoulders
a bit as she giggled.
Penny doesn't know how to react after that. She was about to say something when a helper from the
mansion suddenly came to them.
"Yes?" Lilian's brow raised a bit.
"Uh... Luna, I forgot to tell you a while ago. The Alpha wanted you to go to the... uh, tree house later
this evening. He has something important to tell you..."
Lilian thought a bit. What's this all about now? Why does he want her to go to the tree house again?
That place brings back so many bad memories to her. That place used to be their favorite place but
now... all that Lilian could think about is the pain he had caused her... and how she lost her child.
And evening? Why not now? She has so many questions but her brows just furrowed because she
knew that even the helpers won't be able to answer it all.
She just talked to Penny the whole day and caught up with her. Even though she doesn't really know
Penny that long, she still appreciates her because she's the only one who helped her before when she
had her miscarriage.
Lilian's thought brought her to what the helper said earlier. Will she even go to the tree house later?
Well, she doesn't have the mood to go there later. Maybe it's better if she's going to just ditch him.
That's the right thing to do. And she won't even care…
