CHAPTER 62: The Luna Is Pregnant!
ALTHOUGH IT WAS hard for Lilian to adjust to her work, she still tries her best to accommodate all the wolves who have problems that need her help. It was honestly draining her but there's no room for complaining right now. This will be her life from now on. She needs to get used to it.
She never really sees herself to be the leader of the pack someday. But then... things changed. Here she is now... leading a thousand wolves in one pack. She's also the next in line successor of Calista in Midnight Pack. The responsibility on her shoulders is really heavy but Calista never pressured her about it which was a good thing.
"Luna, thank you so much. My son will finally be at rest now that he's put to a nice place," said Criselda, one of the old wolves in the pack who has a warrior son that died from the tragedy.
Lilian smiled and held Criselda's hand. "There's no need to thank me, Criselda. This is the least thing that I could do after what he did to all of us. Your son did his best to save the pack. I will be forever grateful to him."
Criselda also smiled, her tears brimming at the corner of her eyes, but it's a tears of joy. Although Criselda lost her dear son, she feels at ease knowing that Lilian never abandoned them like a true Luna or Alpha should do. After being doubted by many wolves with her capabilities, Criselda could tell that Lilian really deserves her position. Lilian didn't let herself be affected by the other wolves' negative words towards her.
"You are so kind. Thank you, Luna!" Criselda didn't stop herself anymore. She came closer to Lilian and hugged her so tight even though the two pack warriors who were guarding Lilian almost stopped her. But Lilian was able to tell them that it was fine. She hugged Criselda back tightly.
It warms her heart knowing that the wolves she helped in the pack appreciates her efforts. Criselda was one of the wolves who believed in Lilian despite being criticized by almost half of the pack. Some left the pack and Lilian didn't stop them anymore. It was still their right to choose whether they wanted to stay or not. She's not in the position anymore to stop them. Some of them believe that Alpha Karius is the only one who could rule the pack better.
And Lilian understands their point. She won't argue that because that's the truth.
She failed to recognize all his efforts here when she came back to his pack because she was too focused on her revenge back then.
Lilian stuck on being called as 'Luna'. Well, she's still the alpha of the pack but she prefers to be called that way. And... she wanted Alpha Karius to be the only alpha of the pack.
Later that day, after her visitation to the families who had lost some warriors, she decided to take a rest for a moment in the tree house. But before that, she talked to Calyx to make sure that everyone in the pack is safe and secure. Even though there's no threat from rogues anymore, she still makes sure that the pack warriors are guarding the pack.
When she's finally inside the tree house, she sat on the bed and sighed heavily. The silence finally embraced her again as some thoughts came rushing in her head. This is just the start of not being with Alpha Karius but it feels like it's been a year already. It felt so long. She always yearns for his touch and kisses everyday.
"I miss you so much," Lilian whispered in the air as if he could even hear her... as if he's still with her.
She sighed and slowly laid down on the bed as the tear slowly slid down the side of her face and smiled sadly.
It was wrong but... there are times that Lilian wanted to end her life to stop feeling the pain in her chest. She sometimes thought that it was the only way to be with Alpha Karius again... in another life.
But until now, she's still holding on to the words of Tatianna to her. Tatianna told her to trust her. But how could she even trust her if she's almost losing hope everyday?
"When will the pain end?" She asked again in the air as she closed her eyes.
***
EVERY DAY THAT passing by was a torture to Lilian. One thing that really helps her a lot to cope up with the pain and missing Alpha Karius was working. She knew that it wasn't healthy anymore but it was the only way that she knows that could make her forget about Alpha Karius temporarily.
Temporarily. Yes, it was all temporary because after a tiring day, when she's alone again, she will think about him. It was hard but Lilian kept on holding on. If she gives up now, what will happen to the pack? She's starting to love the pack already and she knew pretty well that that's what Alpha Karius wants her to do.
There's no room for giving up. Lilian keeps on fighting her sadness everyday even though she feels like she's not going to win at all. Sadness will always find its way to torture her.
"You've been really working hard the past few days."
