The Omega's Sweetest Revenge novel Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11: The Real Poison

"YOU'RE FUCKING kidding me. This is not the right time to play around, Calyx. Don't fucking test me," Alpha Karius said sharply to Calyx after dropping the news about Lilian. No, she's not yet dead. What the hell is he talking about? That's impossible!

Calyx sighed. "I hope I'm just kidding, but I'm not. You know me damn well, Alpha Karius," he said weakly. Calyx is not really not the type to play around. And he's always telling the truth to Alpha Karius, but it was really hard to believe him.

Alpha Karius brushed his palm on his face in frustration when he felt like he's about to tear up. He shook his head aggressively. "I will not believe you unless you show me the wolf that I asked to look over her. I'm sure he could tell Lilian's whereabouts right now."

"That's another problem. I can't find that wolf anymore but I asked the wolves in your mansion when the chaos happened. Some of them are familiar with Lilian so they knew it was her that had been punished by Gianna," Calyx said coldly. "But for your peace of mind, I will still find that wolf to confirm Lilian's situation right now."

Alpha Karius let out a deep breath before nodding his head. No, that's not real, right? Lilian is not yet... dead. He's just dreaming. Right. He should wake up in this nightmare now! But inside him, he could feel how his heart shattered into pieces the moment Calyx told him that Lilian didn't make it. It feels like he couldn't breathe anymore and the only thing that could ease his pain is to see Lilian... alive and breathing.

That night, Alpha Karius spent his time looking at the sky, silently praying to the Goddess that Lilian is okay and well... that she's in a good hand right now, wherever she is right now.

THE NEXT MORNING, Alpha Karius went to his mansion to continue visiting those wolves who were injured yesterday, even though he doesn't really want to since that means he will see Gianna again. She still pissed him off. He's not sure anymore what he will do to her once he sees her.

"How's everything here?" He asked Calyx. Calyx arrived first at the mansion and Alpha Karius couldn't be more thankful to him since the truth is, he's not really in good shape right now after what he found out yesterday... about Lilian. Calyx was the one who instructed the wolves and witches to tend to the wolves' needs since he wasn't around awhile ago.

"It's getting better. I already asked some witches who have the ability to heal and they are now on their way here. Some of the wolves that have been really hurt so bad were the Omegas, plus their healings aren't that fast, either."

"Okay. Thanks for your hard work, Calyx," Alpha Kariua genuinely told him as he tapped his shoulders. "What about the other thing that I asked you to do? Did you find the wolf?" He wanted to know where that wolf is to know the truth about Lilian's whereabouts.

Calyx cleared his throat. "Yes, I already found him. I'll take you to him later."

Relief washed over Alpha Karius when he heard Calyx's response. That wolf is the only key if he's going to believe the death of... Lilian. He doesn't want to believe yet unless the wolf will tell him everything.

Alpha Karius busied himself that day with the wolves. And it was a good thing that they are all getting better even though some of them still feel distant to him since they're questioning his capability as the Alpha of the pack. But he's trying to win their trust again. He's working really hard to make things right this time. He just hopes that Gianna won't do something to make everything worse again.

When it was already five in the afternoon, Alpha Karius prepared himself to leave the mansion to meet the wolf that he asked to look over Lilian. Calyx took him to the abandoned house just near his mansion. He went there immediately and Calyx welcomed him with a smug look on his face as his tongue poke his inner cheek while shaking his head.
