CHAPTER 49: The Dress
LILIAN FELT LIKE they were caught red-handed even if they didn't really do something wrong as Alpha Karius' intense and obviously mad eyes bore at them. She saw how his jaw clenched staring at her dress and Jackson's naked top. She tries putting herself in Alpha Karius' shoes... well, someone that will see her and Jackson would really put malice since they are also both sweaty. She wanted to know what's on Alpha Karius' mind right now but she doesn't have the courage to ask him.
Lilian bit her lower lip. Some of the wolves don't really mind what's happening but they could feel the alpha aura roll off her mate as he stares at them. No one dared to say a word since they were too scared at Alpha Karius right now. They could feel his intense aura that no one even dares to move on their positions.
Lilian gulped a bit and looked at Jackson on her side who's obviously acting like the atmosphere wasn't heavy at all! The bastard has the guts to even smirk at one of the female wolves that he just met the other day! The female wolf just blushed as she averted her gaze to another direction, not making a sound since Alpha Karius' aura is still over the air.
"Let's go home," Alpha Karius said, restraining himself to not make a scene in the place. Lilian just straightened her back as soon as she heard the deep baritone voice of Alpha Karius. He immediately went to her and pulled her on her side, making her land on his chiseled chest. She almost closes her eyes as soon as she sniffs her manly scent that invades her nostrils. "Thanks for accompanying my Luna to roam around..." he said with his formal voice as he looked at Jackson.
Jackson then looked at Alpha Karius, the side of his lips lifted a bit as he shrugged his shoulders. "No problem, Alpha. Actually, Luna Lilian is fun to be with. There's no dull moments when I'm with her. Right, Luna?" He even looked at Lilian with a smug expression on his face!
Lilian secretly glares at him, wanting so badly to just smack him in the face for putting malice on his words that would surely anger Alpha Karius even more.
"R-Right..." she answered and just buried her face on Alpha Karius' chest as she felt how his hand tightened around her. She could feel how mad he is now so before he could even do something to Jackson, she held his hand gently on her waist, calling his attention since his intense gaze is still at Jackson. "L-Let's go home..." she said to him as she looked up to his serious and handsome face. She could clearly see how his stubbled jaw moved a bit and clenched before he sighed deeply like it was his way to calm himself.
Meanwhile, Alpha Karius was itching so hard to punch the man's face but he was stopping himself not to lash out in front of the other wolves. And besides, Lilian was able to calm him immediately so he opted to just murdering Jackson in his head. If only he is that bad alpha, he already killed this Jackson with his canines on the spot, but he's not and it's not a good example to the wolves in his pack.
They were silent as they made their way to Alpha Karius' mansion. No one dares to talk once they get home, making Lilian nervous even more. Alpha Karius pulled her to 'their' room without a word and she was just following what he wanted, afraid that she would anger him even more.
She shouldn't be feeling this way. It's wrong. She already considers him as her enemy ever since he hurted her but why does it feel so painful to be ignored by him?
Her toes are trembling making her sit on the edge of the bed uncomfortably as Alpha Karius started to unbutton his long sleeve polo. She blushed when she saw his body and looked away. He went straight to his closet and got another pair of clothes to wear, still not talking or glancing at her.
An ache suddenly crept inside Lilian's chest as Alpha Karius just kept on ignoring her. It makes her heart hurt even more. He should be mad at her, right? But why does he not even saying a word? It was frustrating her too much! She would like it if he would say what he feels... but he's not saying anything that suddenly annoys her.
After a couple of seconds, Alpha Karius went out from his closet with his new long sleeve. He wore it immediately. He only looked at Lilian for a sec before looking away.
"Are you still going out?" Lilian takes the courage to ask him even though she's not really sure if she's going to get an answer.
"Yeah."
Lilian tried to hide the shock in her face in his one word answer. Yeah? That's it? Nothing more? She wanted so bad to voice it out but her mouth couldn't seem to cooperate! Goodness! What's happening to her?!
Lilian stood up and was about to say a word when they suddenly heard a scream outside. She gasped and they both went out of the room.
"AHHH!! GET OFF ME! ROGUE!!"
Alpha Karius and Lilian went down quickly and she was shocked when she saw Clarine being held by two helpers as she cried nonstop, obviously feeling scared on the sofa. It was already a mess when they got there. The pillows are already on the floor and the helpers are obviously having a hard time stopping Clarine.
"There's no rogue here. Please, calm down!" said Fina as she held Clarine's arm.
Alpha Karius immediately went to them and Lilian also followed. He crouched down and held Clarine's arm. Surprisingly, she calmed down and stopped from crying.
"A-Alpha Karius... there's a rogue," Clarine almost whispered as she looked up at Alpha Karius. He stared at her for a bit. It was obvious that Clarine is showing some signs of trauma after she got almost attacked by the rogues the other day.
"Calm down, Clarine," Alpha Karius said to calm her. "Breathe..." he instructed and Clarine immediately obeyed. She inhaled and exhaled until she calmed down while still staring at Alpha Karius.
