CHAPTER 40: The Blind Witch
"SHE WILL BE the reason for your death. Maybe not literally but I know she has something under her
sleeves," Calyx said while they were inside Alpha Karius' office again, reviewing some reports.
Calyx couldn't really accept how Alpha Karius forgives Lilian easily after she ditched him on his own
birthday. He saw how hurt he was when he went back to his tree house. Lilian could really hurt him
easily. That's what he noticed and he's afraid that in the near future, Lilian will fully wrap Alpha Karius
around her fingers and control him in the end. That's not impossible to happen knowing how whipped
Alpha Karius is to her.
Alpha Karius shrugged his shoulders as he scanned the pages of the reports. "I'll let her be," he
answered as if it wasn't even a big deal. He's already decided that whatever Lilian's plans could be,
he'd gladly embrace it all.
That's how he loves her. He loves her so much that he's giving her all the permission to hurt him, to
taste her most sweetest revenge.
Calyx annoyingly shook his head, disappointed at Alpha Karius' answer. "Fucking whipped," he
whispered that didn't escape from Alpha Karius' ears.
He never knew that he could be really like this, the Alpha that he looks up to is willing to get hurt by a
woman. But on the other side, seeing Alpha Karius like this made Calyx somehow a bit relaxed. This
only means that he's happy, unlike before when he thought that he lost Lilian. Alpha Karius was always
stressed and buried himself with work, not getting enough rest. As his Beta, it actually hurts Calyx
seeing him that way before.
It was a good thing that Lilian came back to him and it turns out that they are also mates, but Calyx
couldn't still be at ease knowing that Lilian is planning something to Alpha Karius. Calyx will do
everything to protect his Alpha, that's for sure, so he needed to secretly watch over her.
Alpha Karius chuckled. "If ever I'll die in my mate's hands, then I'll gladly rest in peace." He took it in a
joking way as he smirked at him. Dying is really a heavy word but sometimes, it would cross his mind. If
he will die, would Lilian even forgive him? He shrugged off that idea and looked at Calyx who's about to
burst out in anger already. Calyx is really the best Beta for him. He's loyal and would do anything for
him. What he likes about Calyx is he always trusts his decisions.
Calyx didn't seem to really like what Alpha Karius said and just remained serious while clenching his
jaw as if he's stopping himself to punch him since his hand also balled into fist. Well, he couldn't just
punch his Alpha that easily even if he wanted to. He wants to punch him for Alpha Karius to see the
truth about Lilian... But he shook that idea away and just looked back at the papers instead.
Moments later, they fell into deep silence. They became serious this time on their work as their gazes
went to the pile of papers in front of the both of them. The papers are about the weekly report on the
pack and the welfare of everyone. Alpha Karius became really hands on to his pack when Lilian was
still not back. But he became more hands on now that she's back, for her to see that he's doing all his
best to be the great Alpha, not only for the pack but also for his Luna.
"Have you found the witch that I was telling you the other day?" Alpha Karius suddenly asked after a
couple of minutes of silence as he leaned his back on his swivel chair.
Well, a witch told him before about the rogue attacks but he wanted to ask another opinion of another
witch just to make sure. There's no harm in trying another witch this time.
Calyx nodded his head. "Yeah. She's now on her way here--" He wasn't able to complete what he's
about to say anymore when they both heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," Alpha Karius said.
"I'm sorry for the disturbance, Alpha but a witch is here looking for you," said Marcus, one of the
werewolves guarding outside the office.
Marcus looked back a bit and gestured his head to someone outside. That's when he opened the door
wider for someone to come in. It was the witch that they were talking about.
"A pleasant morning, Alpha Karius. I am Nichola, a witch from Halla." The woman wearing a black
cloak bowed her head a bit as a sign of respect in front of Alpha Karius.
Halla is a bit far from the Moon Stone pack. It's actually a secluded place and there's a tribe of witches
living there. He asked Calyx to look for a trusted witch in Halla to answer his questions about the rogue
and some other things that concern the pack.
"Likewise, Nichola. Please, take a seat." Alpha Karius gestured his hand to the chair just in front of
Calyx. Nichola immediately obliged and shyly removed the hood of her cloak.
Nichola is a blind witch but has a strong sense when it comes to her surroundings. She's one of the
strongest witches in the witches tribe in Halla. "There's something that's been bugging you the past few
days." Nichola started talking as she looked at Alpha Karius, even though she didn't really see him.
Alpha Karius is not really that surprised anymore on what she suddenly said. Maybe she could feel how
chaotic his mind is.
"Yeah. It's about the... rogue attacks that a witch had told me before," Alpha Karius said as he sighed
and both clasped his hands on the table. "The witch told me before that my pack will be attacked by the
rogues in the near future, making me make some wrong decisions in the past. I have lost some lives of
my pack and someone who's very dear to me." It was his child that he's pertaining to. He almost lost
Lilian, too, because he chose to break up with her in the past.
"Wrong decisions... You know, it's normal for us to make wrong decisions and trust anyone fast since
we sometimes think that we run out of choices..." Nichola meaningfully said. "Gianna... is she the
wrong decision you're talking about?" She smirked a bit.
Alpha Karius straightened his back at the mere mention of that name, the woman who caused trouble
in his pack and accused his mate for something that she didn't even do before. How did Nichola find
out about her? He's not sure anymore. He could feel the aura of the blind witch in front of him that she's
not just a witch. She's more than that. "You're right. That woman really angered me to the core," he
said as he clenched his jaw.
He's not coming clean since he also hurt Lilian before but what Gianna did is really the worst. She
made his own pack hate one of them, which is Lilian. It was also the reason why he removed the
barrier among the higher ranked wolves to the lower ranked wolves. He realized that it was too late but
it's better if everyone treats each other fairly. That's how a real pack works. He learned all of it when
Lilian wasn't with him.
Meanwhile, Nichola thinks something a bit strange, her eyes suddenly lit making the color of purple
more vivid in front of Calyx and Alpha Karius. The two men let her as she suddenly gasped. Seconds
later, she calmed down and sighed deeply.
"Two women... I'm seeing two women that will fight for power and for your heart. The other woman is
the woman named... Gianna. She will bring the worst in your pack so do not let your guard down,
especially the ones that are important to you. She's a bit... destructive." She paused a bit. "The other
woman is still unclear to me but she will give you either protection or your downfall. She's holding a
grudge against you but you still need to be careful around her. She's the only one that could protect
you from the wrath of Gianna and the rogues. She's rewarded by the moon goddess of a great power
and it will be a big challenge for her to control it."
Alpha Karius thinks a bit. The other woman is holding a grudge against him. He suddenly has a hunch
that maybe... Lilian was the second woman that Nichola is talking about. But... she also said that the This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
second woman is rewarded by a great power by the moon goddess. He's not belittling Lilian but she's
just a mere omega. What Nichola said in the last part is a bit impossible. Lilian doesn't have any super
power, he knows that.
"You should be careful to your decisions from now on, Alpha Karius..." Nichola advised making Alpha
Karius nodded his head. "And about the rogue attacks, well, you don't have to worry about it
anymore..."
"Why?"
"Because you already found your mate. That's enough reason for them to back down since they could
feel your oozing power as the alpha."
He nodded again before sighed in relief. He was about to say something again when Marcus suddenly
came inside again making his brows furrowed. He's about to lash out for the sudden disturbance since
he didn't even knock but he stopped himself.
"What?" Alpha Karius' tone is a bit annoyed as his brow raised a bit.
"A-Alpha Karius... the school of pups has been attacked by a rogue."
"Fuck!" He couldn't help but to stand up and was about to go but he stopped on the last thing that
Marcus said.
"B-But everything is under control now. Luna Lilian was able to kill the rogue." Marcus sighed in relief.
Even though everything is under control now, Alpha Karius still didn't hesitate to stand up and went out
of his office to go to the school of pups. He's worried about the pups.
When he reached the place, he was in awe seeing a big wolf, almost at his wolf's size, that suddenly
attacked the rogue ruthlessly and killed it. Moments later, the big wolf shifted to its human form and
Alpha Karius was shocked to see that it was Lilian, his mate.
How the hell did she turn out to be that big and expert in fighting?
