CHAPTER 35: The Reward
LILIAN DOESN'T KNOW what's gotten to her anymore the moment she reaches her own room. Her
heart is beating so fast like she had gone to a long marathon. She even held it as if it was enough to
make it calm.
Gritting her teeth, Lilian sighed deeply with her eyes closed. Here comes the feelings that she doesn't
want to feel again.
She just greeted Alpha Karius a very simple happy birthday and yet her heart wouldn't just calm down!
And the butterfly demons in her stomach were like celebrating what she's feeling right now.
The softness of his eyes earlier that met hers was just so damn alluring, it was full of emotion as if he's
saying sweet things. And at that mere thought, she could feel that her insides were starting to heat up.
She couldn't help it as the mark on her neck suddenly became itchy. It aches uncomfortably and she
can't just control it.
Now, she's doomed. She's in heat again.
"No, this is not happening again..." she whispered to herself and went straight to her bathroom, rubbing
the crook of her neck where her mark is as if it's the only way to ease what she's feeling.
She looked at her own reflection and sighed the moment her gaze went to the mark on her neck. The
mark is pulsating and slightly lighting up, making her feel uncomfortable. "What the fuck is happening
to me?" she asked, couldn't help but to curse, talking to her own reflection.
Her face is blushing hard because of the heat that she's feeling, but it makes her face more glowing.
Added the fact that her mark is lighting a bit, it just emphasized the beauty of her face. She licked her
lip when she felt her pussy suddenly throb when Alpha Karius' handsome face appeared in her mind.
Damn.
Lilian decided to just take a quick cold shower. She let the cold water cascaded down her body that's
still on fire. The weather is already cold but it seems like the coldness of the water is still not enough to
wipe the heat that she's feeling right now.
She was struggling to wear her robe when she's done showering because of the ache on her neck.
Clumsily, she doesn't know what's really happening to her own body anymore and just went out of her
own room. She wasn't able to wipe the water cascading down her body from her hair anymore since
the pain on her neck is just getting worse as seconds passed by.
Without thinking, she found herself knocking in front of Alpha Karius' room. He immediately opened it.
"Lilian?" He asked with his brows furrowed as his gaze scanned her body. He clenched his jaw. That
moment, Alpha Karius already knows that she's in heat again. He could see how the mark on her neck
pulsated as her other hand went up to cup it. Alpha Karius could feel the heat that's being released by
her own body just by only staring at her.
Alpha Karius suppresses his canines to come out when her sweet scent invades his nostrils. It was
enough to take him to high heavens that he even closed his eyes. His wolf seems to be happy again
seeing her. But he can't just jump onto her and do what the fuck everything that he wants. Because
he's so damn sure that she wouldn't even like it.
The past few days, Lilian has been really aloof at him. And he couldn't really blame her for that. But
he's giving all his efforts to make up with the things that he did in the past. He won't stop until she
forgives him.
"H-Help..." she almost whispered as she let her body lean to his chest. Lilian wanted so badly to slap
herself. She never knew that she would ask for help from him! And she could be this weak!
She already planted in her mind that she is not going to show her weak side anymore but her situation
right now is really hard. Her mark just keeps on aching! Goodness! Her situation is not helping at all.
Worry washed over on Alpha Karius' face. Even though he's still sad about what she did to his very
special day, he couldn't deny the fact that he's worrying about her. He's still his Luna and mate... other
than that, he loves her so much so he doesn't want her to be in pain.
"Fuck." Alpha Karius couldn't help but to utter a crisp curse as soon as they already both entered his
room. He let out a deep sigh when her robe went down a bit, revealing the valley of her breast. He fixed
it with his trembling hands as he helped her sit down on his wide bed.
He suddenly realized that the mark on her neck is making her feel this way. That's the first sign. The
pain on the neck and constantly craving for... sex, reason for her to feel the heat right now.
He closed the door before glancing at her again. She's now breathing hard as her own sweat and water
trickled down her pretty face, neck, collarbone and to her... breast. Her hair is wet from her cold shower
earlier and she wasn't able to wipe it properly. The small beads of water are wetting her robe, making
him see the curves of her body. Alpha Karius' cock twitch at that sight.
Oh, damn. It seems like his wolf is also craving for his mate's heat.
"You know damn well that I have a very low self control when it comes to you, love..." he said darkly
that almost came out as a whisper as he tried to control his own body to react just by only staring at
her. She's just sitting there, not doing anything at all but it's already hard! He wants his buddy down
there to calm down but it seems like it's already a bit impossible now, knowing that the woman in front
of him is really effortlessly hot and sexy.
She looked up. It was obvious that she's having a hard time because of the pain on her neck but she
still has the guts to smirk at him. "Who says you need to control yourself? No one's stopping you here,"
she replied darkly with a hint of playfulness in her tone.
He clenched his jaw again as he looked up, his tongue poke his inner cheek before glancing back at
her again. Now, he could feel the heat that's slowly awakening his body.
"You only need me when you're in heat. I don't want our relationship to be just... physical. I want more
than that," he whispered and smirked bitterly.
Alpha Karius doesn't know anymore how he says those words to her. He tried so hard to not back
down when her stares became cold, the smirk on her lips was erased instantly at his words.
"But I'm your mate. You're the only one who could ease the heat I'm feeling," she answered as a matter
of fact, suddenly feeling the irritation in her system now. How dare he ask for something more than
being physical to each other when that's the only thing that she could give to him! It would be too hard
for her if she will put her heart at stake again. "I don't want us to be more than that. That's all I could
offer to you. If you don't want to ease the heat on my body right now, then I could just find someone
else that can do that for me--"
"Don't you fucking dare do that," he spat suddenly turning mad. No, he couldn't accept that. He's
territorial on everything or everyone he owns, and that includes Lilian. His Alpha aura rolled off him but
Lilian didn't back down.
Despite the ache and the heat she's feeling, Lilian stood up meeting his dark gaze. "And don't you
interrupt me when I'm still talking! Now, it seems like you wouldn't like to give in to what I want, then so
be it!" she told him with her slightly threatening tone.
It's time for her to control and manipulate him... now that she got the upper hand. If fucking him is the
best way to make him do what she wants then she will do it, even though it's still a mistake. She
doesn't want to involve herself with him anymore and just wants to take revenge on him after
everything that he did to her but this is the only way to get him wrapped around her fingers.
"I-I... uh, I'm sorry," he suddenly said, his eyes suddenly softened making her smirk. She couldn't help
but to lift her hand and caressed his stubbled jaw feeling the roughness of it, and smiled innocently at
him.
The ruthless alpha is this soft when it comes to her. How pathetic.
"Oh, what a good boy you are. Because of that, you have a reward from me..." she said playfully and
suddenly pushed him to the bed and straddled him.
She could feel how his cock hardened the moment her pussy rubbed on his front.
"What reward?" he asked huskily as he licked his lower lip, watching her slowly remove her robe
revealing her breast. Lust danced in his eyes the moment she exposed her body in front of him.
Lilian bent down to whisper in his ear. "Probably a good fuck or... my mark. You choose."
Alpha Karius' breathings became rugged. He smirked when he realized something. His wolf is
anticipating her next moves.
"Nevermind. I'll give both to you if you're going to be a good boy," she added and planted a soft kiss on
the side of his neck where she could put her mark later on.
