CHAPTER 57: The Chose One
FLASHBACK.
"THIS IS FOR YOU."
Lilian looked at the man who's holding a tea for her. It was the man named Jackson. She already
noticed her on her first days here in the Midnight pack and she could tell that he's the friendliest wolf
here.
Everyone is really fond of Jackson. He's easy to be with and kind. Whenever they have training, every
female wolf is really doing their best to get noticed by him. And since Jackson is naturally nice, he Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
would check on them like a gentleman should do. Well, she wouldn't deny that Jackson is indeed a fine
young man. Almost all of the girls here have a crush on him and it seems like he's not even aware of it.
Lilian already noticed that pack on her first days here.
"This will help you regain your energy from the nonstop training. Sorry, the leaders didn't go easy on
you even though it was your first time," he said again as he sat beside her. They are now in the
mansion and it actually surprised her that Jackson still followed her.
They're still not friends but he's already acting like one. She didn't even bother talking that much to him
since she could sense the secret glares of the other female wolves in the pack whenever he's with her.
It was hard for Lilian to ignore them but she's trying.
"Thank you," Lilian replied politely as she accepted the tea from him.
Calista is busy with her duties with some other elderly wolves. The other helpers in the house are busy
with their work so she's now the one who's entertaining Jackson now even though she doesn't really
have the mood since the training was really a bit intense earlier for her. Her body is still new to those
training here. And if only her previous pack was able to give those omegas like her before to train
properly, then she won't be weak like this now.
"How's the training for you? The leaders could be really harsh sometimes," Jackson said, insisting on a
conversation with her and sitting on the chair next to her.
Lilian shrugged. "It's fine with me." Well, she lied on that part. The leaders, or the wolves that are
leading the pack with the training are not fond of her. Aside from the fact that Jackson is close to her on
her first days, everyone is also thinking that she's using her privilege as the daughter of the alpha even
though she's not.
That thought never crossed Lilian's head. Even though she has all the rights to boss around here, she
never did because she knew the feeling of being commanded just like what she experienced on her
previous pack. It was never erased from her mind...
The way the higher ranked wolves treated them, omegas, like their slaves...
So, no... Lilian won't do that to them here.
"Don't worry. I could personally assist you in your training and be your sparring partner if you want."
Lilian looked at her this time. "Why would you even do that?" she asked, raising a brow.
Well, she's truly not comfortable with the training leaders. It was obvious that they are purposely
making it harder for her after knowing that she's the daughter of the she-wolf alpha. She's obviously a
beginner but they are treating her like a pro sometimes. She always felt weak after those training
sessions!
"Because I could sense that you're not that comfortable around them. I can see the hesitation on the
way you punch earlier." He smiled a bit. "If I will be your sparring partner, there's no need for you to
stop yourself. And who knows... I could also be your friend if you also want."
Friend.
It never crossed her mind to make one. She was fine alone. She couldn't really tell if she had some
friends on her previous pack but she was civil to the other omegas that she knew. So, hearing it now
made her hesitate a bit.
But then, there's nothing wrong if she will make one this time right?
So, she was surprised at her own answer to him. Lilian just nodded and also smiled a bit in return.
Because deep inside her, she's also craving for a genuine friendship which she never had before since
she was too focused on some... things.
And the next few days, Jackson did really fulfill what he told her. He became her sparring partner and
even though he's a male, he makes sure that his moves will make her comfortable. And she also
learned easily around him! He's one of the reasons why she easily adjusted to her training. And he
gave her the genuine friendship that she wants.
And in a short span of time, Lilian found friendship with him. She's not easily trusting anyone and
doesn't really make friends that much but it's different with Jackson.
He's the brother she wished to have...
-END OF FLASHBACK-
***
ALL THOSE SIMPLE things that Jackson did to Lilian suddenly rushed in her head. She remembered it
clearly as she stared at the man that she treated as her brother, beating the hell out of Alpha Karius'
loyal Beta... Calyx.
'Jackson...' She tried calling him through the mind link but he never listened. He's too focused on what
he's doing.
Calyx tries to fight back and also punch back but there's something on Jackson's punch that makes him
suddenly weak and doesn't have the choice but to get hit a couple of times. Lilian couldn't help but to
worry about Calyx. He's strong but then Jackson is more eager to take him down. She concluded that
maybe Jackson released Alpha Karius but then Calyx tried to stop him.
But her attention towards them was short-lived when she was suddenly out of breath again. That's
when she realized that Alpha Karius' demon is still choking her.
'A-Alpha Karius... please, s-stop this...' she tried saying it despite her wolf being choked to death.
Her wolf is groaning painfully as his nails are buried and pierced on her skin. It made her weak to the
point that another batch of tears are starting to blur her sight again as she tries to gasp for air.
"If you wouldn't agree on what I want then I'll let Alpha Karius do the work instead!" said Gianna again.
Lilian didn't mind her anymore and just stared at Alpha Karius. Even though he really looked different
now, she could still see her mate in his eyes. She weakly shook her head as if it was enough to make
him stop. She's getting out of breath...
"L-Love..." Lilian whispered this time and to her surprise, his grip on her neck loosened up a bit. She
took that as a chance to cough and gasped for air! Her cough was laced with blood as her tears got
blurry.
"G-Go... while I c-could still s-stop him.."
Lilian's eyes widened in shock when she clearly heard the familiar voice of Alpha Karius. He's trying to
stop his demon! His demon just kept on letting out animalistic groans but it was obvious that Alpha
Karius' wolf was stopping it.
Hot tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes even more. She could see how Alpha Karius is having a
hard time at this moment. She could clearly see how he fought with his own demons as he groaned
loudly this time. It was as if he's losing his own sanity now and it hurts Lilian to see him like this.
Meanwhile, Gianna's eyes widened in shock at what she just witnessed. It was very clear to her how
Alpha Karius stopped his demon to kill Lilian. It only proves how strong Alpha Karius is! No! Her plan
must succeed! If Lilian won't agree on what she wants then Alpha Karius will do it instead! He should
kill her now!
"No! You should kill her, Alpha Karius! Do it, c'mon!" Gianna screamed loudly this time and glared at
Lilian's wolf who's obviously feeling weak now as she coughed for a couple of times now. Her side is
aching and she got many wounds that wouldn't heal easily. Will she even live after this?
'I w-wo'nt. You're n-not like this, A-Alpha Karius. I know you l-love me...' Lilian's wolf whispered again
through the mind link. She's hurting for their situation now. "You w-will never hurt me..." she added. She
trusts him. She knows that Alpha Karius can do it. He will never hurt her intentionally.
Alpha Karius shook his head and groaned again in so much pain as he could feel how his demon
started to get out again. It was so painful for him to the point that he was already screaming. Until he
couldn't stop it anymore...
As Lilian tries to get up, she was shocked when Alpha Karius suddenly attacked her and threw her in
the air like she weighed nothing at all. She throws her wolf harshly until she's dropped on the floor with
a loud thud that creates a crack on the ground. The broken vase pierced her skin so forcefully that she
couldn't help but to cry in pain.
Her own blood gushed out from her skin, she was already unable to move. It feels like her body was
trapped between two closed walls that made her unable to breathe.
She's so tired now...
Is this her end?
Suddenly, the flashbacks of her memories with Alpha Karius came to her mind. When they were still
hiding their relationship to everyone...
They were so happy even though what they had was just a secret. They were both content with what
they got...
Their laughters, unending cuddles, sweet and flowery words, kisses and love makings... it all flashed in
her mind like a tornado.
Maybe what they said was right.
That your memories will flash to your mind when you're already about to die.
Her eyes are already dropping as her breathing became slowly. Her heartbeats are now becoming slow
like it's already tired from beating...
'I love you... Alpha Karius...' she whispered in the air as she finally fell into deep slumber.
But then moments later, when she's ready to die, a loud pump in her chest suddenly made her open
her eyes again as she gasped for air. It was as if she was hit by something she doesn't even know!
"Hijo de puta! So, it's true, huh?! The chosen one of the moon goddess is her?!" Lilian heard Gianna
shout in annoyance.
