The Omega's Sweetest Revenge

52. The Wrong Move

CHAPTER 52: The Wrong Move

"HOW DID YOU know about that?" Lilian couldn't help but to ask him. It was as if he was so sure about

what he said which really confused her. But then... she also realized that he's not an alpha for nothing.

Alpha Karius is intelligent and also observant.

He sighed. "I could feel it. I know every member of my pack. And Clarine has been acting unusual the

past few days," he answered. Well, he knew everyone in his pack. He memorized every one of the

wolves as part of being an Alpha. He's not that talking to each and everyone but he knew each one of

them all.

Lilian smiled bitterly. "If you already knew that she's a different person then why did you... why did you

let her touch you like that?" she asked but it was already too late to take back what she said. She

sounded so jealous of Clarine! She wasn't able to hold back again! Her mouth is really not cooperating

sometimes.

He smirked, suddenly feeling good knowing that she sounded jealous. But then his smirk was short-

lived since he could remember her image kissing another man again. It just kept on playing in his mind,

he couldn't help it. He wanted to forget about it but he couldn't.

"It was all an act. If she finds out that we already know who she is, she will be alarmed. The best thing

to do is to act normal and make her think that I'm on her side," he told her honestly. Well, there's

nothing wrong if he will tell her his observations now. He's been watching silently on the fake Clarine

the past few days and he could tell that something is really off with her. Until he observed her simple

gestures that he only watched on Gianna before. He kept on comparing the two and it turns out Gianna

possessed Clarine's body and killed her.

He wanted to confront her but he needed one solid plan to confront her. He just can't do something

without thinking. He won't make wrong decisions again just like before.

Despite his reason, Lilian couldn't help but to let out a deep sigh. It was all just an act but it actually

pinched her heart to pieces. Seeing Alpha Karius being touched like that by another woman is not that

good for her heart. What more on the next days that he needed to act? She will burst out in pain and

jealousy!

"How long are you... going to act?" She couldn't help but to ask.

He let out a deep sigh. "I still don't know. I'm already planning how to capture her without her causing

havoc to the pack. She's like a ticking time bomb that's about to explode any moment. She's that

dangerous."

Lilian sighed. Yeah, she should really understand the situation and endure everything. And she has

seen and felt the ruthlessness of Gianna before. But how come she became powerful like this now that

she was also able to possess Clarine's body? It seems like she had gained something or... she already

had that kind of power before but she only let it out now. She doesn't know anymore.

"Tss. I should be mad at you right now but here we are talking about these... things." Alpha Karius

scoffed when realization hit her. He should not talk like this to her now after he had hurt her! "I'm still

mad at you."

"I'm sorry..." Lilian whispered. "I won't justify what you saw but it was... real. I let him kissed me and it's

truly my fault--"

"Stop. You don't have to shove it on my face anymore that you let him kiss you. I know what I saw." He

cut her off from speaking as he clenched his jaw again.

Lilian looked down and sighed deeply and didn't say a word anymore, afraid that it might anger him

even more.

"Let's be discreet from now on. That's the safest thing to do right now," he said once again before

sighing deeply and turned around, leaving her without saying another word.

Meanwhile, Lilian was left still processing everything in her mind. So... Clarine and Gianna are only one

but the real Clarine is already dead. She couldn't help but to feel sad about that. She can't believe it.

She treated Clarine as her friend but... she's gone. The real Clarine has been so nice to her.

She let out a deep sigh again. She should be really careful from now on... now that she knows who's

the real enemy here.

Gianna. That bitch won't really stop from causing trouble, huh.

***

"ALPHA KARIUS, YOU'RE here!" The sound of Clarine's voice echoed in the mansion as soon as

Alpha Karius entered. He stopped himself from rolling his eyes in annoyance because of her irritating

voice. He prays to the goddess that he could endure this.

Clarine clung to his arm as Lilian followed behind him. She just came inside and yet she's going to

witness this again! She wanted so badly to remove the fake Clarine's hand on Alpha Karius but she just

sighed to calm herself.

"I've been waiting for you. Where have you been, hmm?" The fake Clarine softly asked that made Lilian

roll her eyes this time.

To not see them together, Lilian went straight to the kitchen to drink cold water instead.

"Luna, why are you letting that woman touch Alpha Karius like that?" asked Mia, one of the helpers in

the mansion. Mia is really talkative but she was quiet when Lilian just came here in the mansion. She's

actually bubbly. She's kind of chubby and has blonde curly hair that Lilian suddenly has the urge to

pinch her naturally blushing cheeks because of the cold weather.

"What do you mean?" Lilian asked innocently like she doesn't know what she means.

Mia's eyes widened a bit. "That woman named Clarine! She's touching Alpha Karius like she's his

mate! And I don't like her guts. She's acting like the real Luna here. It reminds me of Gianna-- ops!

Sorry, you didn't hear that, Luna! I'm sorry!" Mia couldn't help but to worry. It wasn't new to her anymore

the story of Gianna's ruthlessness to Lilian before. She knew about how Gianna accused Lilian of

something that she didn't do before so she's kinda worried that it offended Lilian bringing up about her

again.

Meanwhile, Lilian didn't mind what Mia said. Back on the first thing that Mia just said, of course, Lilian

couldn't tell her that it was all part of their plan, to act like she's not affected by Alpha Karius' closeness

to the fake Clarine. She shrugged. "Because I trust him. No matter how many women show signs that

they like him, he's still mine, my mate and my forever," Lilian replied, making her almost puke at her

words. She just wants Mia to shut up! That's all! But then her wolf is actually delighted with what she

told her.

Mia suddenly smiled dreamily. "Well... I can't blame you. Alpha Karius is really a loyal man. I pray to the

moon goddess that she will soon grant me a mate like him someday..." She giggled. She's still

mateless and waiting for the time that she will soon meet her mate. She wanted someone like Alpha

Karius, too.

Lilian just shook her head and almost scoffed at her. Mia will not find a man like Alpha Karius because

he's the only one in this world, a very rare man and she's her mate. She didn't tell Mia anymore, just

busied herself in getting something to drink inside the refrigerator to freshen up her mind.

This day has been really so stressful to her and even though Alpha Karius' anger towards her had

subsided a bit, she knew that she still needed to make up with him.

Goddess. She never knew that this day would come again. She's so whipped towards him again!

***

"SO, HOW ARE YOU with your mate?" Jackson asked the next morning when she went to their

meeting place again.

Lilian wanted to ignore him and just let everything subsided a bit and to not go there for the meantime

but she can't since she can't just shrug off her training. The situation is really getting serious as days

pass by, especially now that they know who their enemy is.

"Not that... good," Lilian replied, not really in the mood to tell him everything. Alpha Karius is back on

ignoring her and she doesn't know anymore if it's still part of the plans to act normal around the fake

Clarine!

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Jackson asked as he mixed the tea on the table. They are actually in

the house of one of the wolves in Moon Stone Pack. They lend a place for Jackson to stay and he

decided to move here this time since he knew that Alpha Karius is mad at him now. Alpha Karius lent

him a place to stay in his office but he moved out after what happened.

The house was just small... just enough for Jackson and Nichola who's always nowhere to be found.

The interior and the furniture are already old but it's fine for Jackson. What's important is he has a

place to stay while he's here with Lilian.

"No need," she answered.

"Take this, then." He handed the tumbler with the tea that he made.

"For what?" Her brows furrowed.

"Give it to him as my peace offering. I know what I did is wrong and I'm still grateful that you're treating

me the same. Thank you for that..."

Lilian smiled. "You're like a brother that I never had..." Of course, she opted on not avoiding Jackson

because he's important to her. Like what she said, he's the brother that she never had.

Jackson smiled. "I know." He sighed. "It's getting dark. You should go now. I don't want to anger your

mate even more once he finds out that we're together again."

Lilian nodded before she stood up from the old sofa. He took the tumbler and took her leave after that.

***

"IS THAT FOR me?" Alpha Karius asked when Lilian handed her the tumbler.

"Yeah." She looked down. She's actually glad that he's talking to her now. She thought that he would

still ignore her like earlier. "It's a peace offering from... Jackson. He regretted what he did and he also

wanted to say his apology personally but..." She shrugged.

He scoffed. "I won't accept that."

Lilian gulped. "Okay. I understand. I'll just put this here..." It was obvious that she's sad that he didn't

accept the tumbler.

Alpha Karius sighed, suddenly couldn't take the sadness in Lilian's eyes. Before she could even place

the tea on the table, he already accepted it from her hand making her eyes widened a bit.

She was about to say something when he opened the tumbler and drank the tea.

But it was a wrong move...

The tea was spiked... it could trigger his demon's side.
