CHAPTER 48: The Trainings With Jackson
THE SCENT OF a rogue from a distance made Alpha Karius and the pack warrior's alarmed. They are busy guarding the place, making sure that they wouldn't miss any rogue or demons. They immediately went to the direction where it came from and they were led to the house of the head of Omegas, Clarine.
"Help! Help! Please, help me!"
Alpha Karius didn't hesitate to go there and shift to his wolf form. He saw three rogues lingering around the helpless and crying Clarine as she crawled back in fear. Her face is full of tears as she sobs while the rogues start to go in her direction.
Alpha Karius' wolf jumped in the air, calling the attention of the rogues and started attacking them. His canines elongated and pierced the skin of the first rogue that went to him that made it groan. He mercilessly clawed its body repeatedly as the other pack warriors also attacked the other rogues. He also ripped the head of the other rogue that almost clawed the other pack warrior until it groaned in so much pain. His claws and canines could really kill instantly, without giving the victim any chance to heal. It's his ability as an Alpha.
The smell of blood lingers in the air as the rogues were thrown on the ground harshly. Moments later, they were able to kill them all in just a couple of seconds. Most of the work was done by Alpha Karius.
Alpha Karius went to Clarine who's already shivering in fear while leaning on the tree. When she saw him approaching, she immediately calmed down and stopped from crying.
"A-Alpha Karius... thank you so much for saving m-me.." she almost whispered as she was being assisted by one of the pack warriors and put it on his back, all preparing to leave the place as soon as possible.
Since it's not safe for Clarine to stay in her house anymore, Alpha Karius decides to take her in his mansion for the meantime. They reached the place and he commanded the other pack warriors to go back to their area where they are guarding since there's a possibility that there are still rogues lingering around the pack.
Nadia gave Alpha Karius a blanket when he shifted back to his human form. Meanwhile, Clarine was escorted by Fina and the other helpers to her room.
"What happened?" Lilian couldn't help but to ask when she saw what's happening. She looked at Alpha Karius as if there's a big question mark on her face. It was confusing her after seeing the familiar face of Clarine full of fear and worry that she didn't even dare looking at her.
With his tired expression, Alpha Karius went to the confused Lilian and kissed her forehead. "She was nearly attacked by the rogues. It was a good thing that we're just near her house since we were able to smell the rogues' scent."
Lilian couldn't help but to gasp in worry for Clarine. "I-Is she okay? Did something happen to her?"
He shook his head. "There's none. We're just on time."
"What about you? Aren't you hurt?" Lilian asked and suddenly wanted to slap herself on her own questions. But then it came out naturally from her mouth, like she's really indeed worried about him. He has traces of blood on his body. She was able to see it before he covered his nakedness with the blanket that Nadia gave him. It was really a good thing that only Nadia is the only female wolf here since the other helpers assisted Clarine. Lilian suddenly feels irritated with the thought that someone might see Alpha Karius' nakedness. She feels possessive to him all of a sudden and thinks that his body is for her eyes only.
Lilian shrugged away that thought in her head and just looked at Alpha Karius instead.
Meanwhile, Alpha Karius couldn't help but to smirk a bit at the genuine worry in Lilian's eyes. That only means one thing. She still cares for him. That thought was enough for him to feel special as his heart hammered so fast against his chest.
"Don't worry about me, love. I'm fine. And I heal faster than an ordinary wolf..." he assured her. It was one of his abilities as the highest rank wolf in the pack. His wound heals really fast.
Lilian just nodded and sighed in relief, actually feeling good that Alpha Karius is fine.

"SO, YOU'RE FINALLY decided, huh. What's with the sudden change of mind?" Jackson asked when they met each other again near the falls. It became their meeting place since it's the best place that no wolves would be able to hear their conversation.
Jackson was actually surprised. Lilian kept on ignoring him the past days and he thought it's time for him to give up convincing her since it seems like she's not really interested at all.
"Let's not talk too much, Jackson. Help me train and... control my ability," she said instead and sighed deeply.
"Good decision, Lilian but I'm afraid I'm not the real one who could help you in controlling your ability. I can only help you in your trainings and maybe... let's do our sparring sessions again?" He shrugged his shoulders with a smirk on his lips. Honestly, Jackson missed his sparring sessions with Lilian. Lilian is the only one who could keep up with his strength in Midnight Pack.
"What do you mean you're not the one who could help me in controlling my ability?"
"I have asked someone to help us, Lilian."
"Who?"
