CHAPTER 02: The Rumor
LILIAN DOESN'T really believe in love at first sight. It's just a bull of crap. Her life is already poor as an
Omega and believing on those kind of sh*ts won't make everything better. It was all just a waste of
time.
But when she laid her eyes on Alpha Karius, everything that she told herself suddenly vanished. Alpha
Karius became the man of her dreams. He became the man that suddenly erased all worries and
doubts in her own life. It's just a shame that she can't have him and their status is always a hindrance.
He's an Alpha and an Omega like her shouldn't hope too much. She will just get hurt in the end.
But she still prayed that someday, he would also look at her the way she looks at him.
And it happened.
Alpha Karius noticed Lilian the day when she was asked to clean the Alpha's house. He was able to
throw a glance on her and Lilian was so happy at that moment. They are both attracted instantly until
they don't notice how they fell with each other anymore. One day, they're just strangers with each other
but now, they're now together, a lover.
Lilian couldn't help but to put a smile on her lips whenever she thought about how Alpha Karius and her
started their relationship. It was full of rainbows even though it's just a secret. Their secret relationship
wasn't perfect but it was full of happy memories that she will treasure for the rest of her life.
"What the heck are you doing?!"
Lilian almost jumped from where she was standing when she heard the voice of a higher rank wolf. It
was Mason, the scariest Beta that commands every Omega in the pack.
Being an Omega was never easy. It was actually exhausting. The Omegas are like the slave of the
pack that do all the dirty works. Lilian wanted to protest but she knew that it won't do her any good. She
will just get punished in return and that's the least thing that she wants to happen right now.
She's pregnant and she needs to take care of herself. A baby is depending on her so she must avoid
being in trouble in order to be safe.
Lilian cleared her throat as her own sweat glided down from her forehead to her cheek. Her gaze went
to the innocent lady who looked really tired now. The lady was already pale. Lilian balled her fist and
stopped herself from helping her. If she's in a different situation right now, she won't just stand there
and watch the poor lady almost die in tiredness. She wouldn't mind getting a punishment just to save
the lady.
"I... I was just resting a bit--"
"Did I order you to rest?!" Mason shouted at the poor lady. The other Omegas are now looking at them.
They are busy cleaning the muddy and stinky tunnel near the boundary of Seleniya. It was actually
gross but they had no other choice but to follow the command of a higher rank wolf. Anyone who will
disobey the order of a higher rank wolf will be whipped multiple times. They will not show any mercy to
an Omega.
"I-I'm so sorry! Please, spare me!" The poor lady bowed her head and suddenly went down on her
knees and started begging. Everyone gasps on the next thing that Mason did.
He whipped the lady with the rope he's holding without even blinking. The poor lady just cried in return.
No one dared to stop Mason. No one dared to make even a sound and watched him hurt the lady. It
was really unfair on their part as the Omega. They are constantly being mistreated by the other wolves.
Lilian really wanted to end it with the help of Alpha Karius.
Lilian shut her eyes tightly. They are really too much. She wanted to inform Alpha Karius but she
doesn't want to give him another headache right now. He has too much on his plate and Lilian doesn't
want to bother him at this moment.
ANOTHER WEEK had passed and Lilian's situation became worse. She became more sensitive with
her surroundings and her sense of smell didn't really help. Whenever she smells something weird, she
would quickly throw up due to her pregnancy.
Lilian glanced at herself inside the bathroom of her small house. She looked really weak and pale right
now. Aside from the fact that she was so tired from yesterday because of being ordered around by the
higher rank wolves, she's also stressed out. She had been thinking of a way to communicate with Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Alpha Karius and even tried sneaking in in his mansion but she always failed miserably.
The security inside the Alpha's mansion became tighter. The number of wolves at the front and the
back of his house was doubled because of the attack of the rogue pack from the north. They're
securing his safety so it was really hard for Lilian to inform Alpha Karius about her situation.
Lilian fixed herself and went out of her small house. She's living alone and has no parents already.
She's fine being alone though.
She went to their usual meeting place, the tree house located in the forest of Seleniya. It was Lilian's
fourth time to come at that place hoping that Alpha Karius would suddenly appear. She needed to tell
him about her pregnancy because the truth is, she's really scared. She had no idea on how to be a
good mother and she can't really do this alone. Lilian needs support from the father of her child. She
needs Alpha Karius beside her.
Lilian knew that the baby just complicate their situation, given the fact that their relationship is just a
secret. But she's willing to continue her pregnancy and keep the baby. She's just waiting for Alpha
Karius' side on this very important matter. But it's pretty hard to get a hold on his whereabouts these
days. It seems like the pack is at stake right now.
"Maybe he will not come again," Lilian whispered to herself when she noticed that it's been a couple of
hours and yet there's still no trace of Alpha Karius in their meeting place. She sighed and decided to go
back again like she usually does the past few days.
When Lilian was already near her small house, she heard two Omegas talking. Her brows furrowed on
what she heard.
"It's true! There's a rumor that the Alpha is going to tie the knot with a higher rank wolf from another
pack!"
"Hey, like what you said, it's just a rumor. We all know that a wolf should only end up with his or her
mate. What tie the knot are you talking about anyway?"
"Believe me, Anna! The Alpha is doing it to secure and strengthen the security of the whole Moon
Stone Pack! If he's going to merge our pack to another powerful pack, then there will be no rogue
lingering in the whole Seleniya! We will all be safe!"
Lilian couldn't move from what she heard. Is that even true? Is Alpha Karius going to marry a woman
from another pack?
The corner of her eyes heated when she realized something. If ever that Alpha Karius will agree on that
matter... then what will happen to her now? What will happen to their baby?
