CHAPTER 18: The Comeback
SEEING THE WOLVES looking at Lilian makes her burst out in laughter. They are obviously checking
her out like she's some random celebrity. It was obvious that they were admiring her looks. They even
heard them murmuring that maybe she's a Luna from a known pack.
"Who is she?"
"She's a new face. Maybe she's a Luna from the Genesis Pack."
"Yeah, maybe. The Alpha from that pack hasn't introduced his Luna yet."
"I must admit that she's pretty and sexy. Look at those curves!"
Lilian smirked on what she heard. Even the female wolves are talking about her. She looked at Calista
on her side. It was obvious that some of the wolves were looking at her with their mocking expressions.
But instead of being affected, she remained elegant and just raised her brow to everyone who would
glance at her direction.
"Oh, Calista! This is the second time that you attended this event!"
Calista's glance went to the voluptuous female wolf wearing a burgundy revealing gown going in their
direction. Lilian is not familiar with her but based on the expression of the other wolves, this wolf is a
higher ranked wolf. It was obvious that some of the wolves were intimidated by her presence.
"Florence," said Calista with her serious expression. "Good evening," Calista greeted formally. Lilian
suddenly sensed the uneasiness on her face but it was masked by a small smirk on her lips as her
brow raised a bit looking at the woman named Florence.
The woman that Calista called Florence giggled. "The ever formal and stiff Calista! What's new? How
are you? Are you still the trying hard she-wolf Alpha? Oh, ops!" She giggled again as she covered her
lips in a sophisticated manner, like she didn't try to offend Calista through her words.
Lilian pursed her lips on what she heard as she tilted her head a bit. It was obvious that this woman
named Florence was insulting Calista through her words. Lilian tried to calm herself to not scratch her
on the face using her sharp claws. Her gaze went to Calista. She still looked unaffected like the words
of Florence didn't even hurt her.
"Yeah, I'm still the 'trying hard' she-wolf Alpha of the Midnight pack. At least I'm not the trying hard wolf
who almost stole someone else's mate before. That's more gross, right?" Calista said with a smirk on
her lips.
The taunting smile on Florence's lips disappeared in just a snap after what she heard on Calista. She
was about to say something again when the big double doors opened again revealing a familiar woman
with some wolves flocking around her as if they were guarding her. The attention of the wolves went to
her as she took her way towards the center.
Lilian tensed a bit as her hand balled into fist seeing the woman again. It was Gianna... the woman who
humiliated and accused her for something that she didn't do before... the Luna of her previous pack.
But why is she alone? Isn't he supposed to be with her Alpha in going here? Why is she with the
wolves guarding her and not... Alpha Karius?
Her blood boils just seeing her smiling widely in front of the crowd as if she's the real main event in the
party. Lilian couldn't take how she is able to smile widely like that as if she didn't hurt someone before.
It seems like everything has been so easy for her for the past year. And Lilian couldn't accept it.
Lilian spent her time training herself to be stronger so that once she faces them again, she's ready and
won't back down anymore unlike before. She had it rough. She can't remember anymore how many
bruises she got just so she could learn in her training. She can't remember anymore how she managed
to study many things about wolves and other creatures.
And here is Gianna... who seems to have everyone on her side. It was as if she didn't have a hard
time... unlike her. No matter how Lilian denies it, her heart hurts as she compares their state for the
past year. She clenched her jaw at that idea.
It was obvious that everyone was admiring her as she waved her hand to the wolves around. She's
wearing an outfit almost the same as Lilian but just different in color. They have the same style,
sweetheart neckline with a high slit on the left leg and it's also backless but the color is white.
Lilian wanted to smirk at her outfit. The color white gown of Gianna is very opposite to her rotten
attitude. It doesn't suit her. Her wolf is even agreeing to her own thoughts, making her smirk wider while
looking at Gianna. Her wolf suddenly wanted to brush off the smile on Gianna's lips.
"Calm your wolf." Lilian heard Calista whisper beside her, making her calm a bit. "It's not yet time to
show your claws. Let the wolves find their mates first."
Lilian sighed. She didn't even notice that she was already trembling in anger while just looking at
Gianna. She tried to enjoy the party and just got wine to drink from the waiter who just walked towards
her direction. The real party hasn't started yet but the place is now a bit crowded since some wolves
just came.
"Good evening, Calista! Oh. Who's this pretty young lady with you?"
Their attention went to an old man walking towards their direction, not minding Florence anymore who's
just glaring secretly at Calista before leaving them. The old man was being assisted by two other
wolves beside him.
"Good evening too, Alpha Facundo. We met again," Calista replied and shook hands with the old man.
"Oh, this is Lilian... my daughter." Calista slightly pulled Lilian's waist a bit beside her.
Alpha Facundo is the Alpha of Nirvana pack from London. He's mateless and still didn't pass his
position as an Alpha to his next successor. But even though he's mateless, his pack is famous since
they had the most powerful within their pack, making everyone fear them.
"Your daughter? You found her?!" There's a hint of shock on the old man's face that Calista called
Alpha Facundo. It seems like he's also close to Calista based on his tone, Lilian thought.
"Yeah. You said earlier that this lady beside me is pretty, right? Where do you think she got the looks?"
Calista smirked at him.
The old man chuckled loudly making the other wolves look in their direction, gasping like what they saw
was a rare moment. "Yeah! I could see the resemblance very much. But her aura screams like your Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
mate," Alpha Facundo said. "I'm sure that man is very much happy for you and your daughter now. Oh,
I suddenly missed that idiot." He laughed loudly but Lilian was able to see the hint of sadness in his
eyes.
Calista smiled, a sad one remembering her mate again. "That... I'm sure he is."
Lilian didn't dare to talk anymore. She separated from Calista later on to look around. She's wondering
if she could see more familiar faces on this night. She had seen some popular wolves everywhere in
the party that she just learned their names through the book that she had read before and she was
actually amazed by that. This party is indeed a party for high caliber wolves.
Calista talked to other wolves while Lilian was just wandering around and observing everyone. Inside
Lilian's head, she was actually looking for someone that she didn't see ever since she came here
earlier.
Suddenly, she heard murmurs from the female wolves making their head turn to the entrance where a
man came with an oozing sex appeal. It was... him... and he's with his Beta.
Calyx and... Alpha Karius.
Lilian straightened her back at the sight of him again. Instead of the fast beating of her heart and
butterflies in her stomach, she couldn't feel anything but rage and anger towards him and his pack. He
looked dashing and handsome in his black tuxedo making the female wolves ogle at him, even the old
ones. And to Lilian's surprise, the color of his tie matched her dress! It was as if they decided to wear
the same color for this night.
She shook her head disappointingly when she thought that she shouldn't make a big deal out of it! It's
just a tie!
The masters of ceremony even announced his arrival like he's a very important guest for this night.
Everyone clapped their hands looking at him.
Alpha Karius was just looking seriously around. His Alpha aura can be felt in a few distance that every
wolf that he looked at will look down, scared to meet his gaze. even Lilian could feel how his aura
changed for the past year. It was heavier... and more ruthless this time. It was as if she gained more
power.
Lilian couldn't help but to notice his appearance now... on how his looks and features changed a bit.
His muscles and build became more rough this time, like he poured his attention on making himself
physically fit for the past year. He grew stubbles on his chin, making his features more ruthless than
before. He still has that dominating aura. His jaw is clenching as he was just sporting his usual serious
expression. Even Calyx beside him also looked serious.
He was looking around when suddenly Lilian met his gaze. His brows furrowed until his eyes suddenly
widened as he looked at her. His mouth hangs open like he had seen a ghost.
"L-Lilian..." She could read how he mouthed her name and as an answer, she smirked tauntingly at him
as she sipped on her wine seductively.
Yeah, right. That's it. He should be shocked at her comeback. Because now that they see each other,
she will now start her revenge.
