The Omega's Sweetest Revenge

26. The Target

CHAPTER 26:The Target

"THE ALPHA TOLD me to accompany you to walk around, Luna," Calyx told Lilian formally as they

made their way out of the mansion.

They even passed the helpers who are busy working with the household chores and Lilian couldn't help

but to smile sweetly at them remembering the stunt she pulled the last time. It was obvious that they

are now intimidated by her presence.

On the other hand, it was a good thing that Calyx was the one who accompanied her for this day. She

doesn't want to be around Alpha Karius or Mason anyway.

"Hmm, yeah. You can just go. I still know my way here in the pack. I could still remember the path

towards the omega village. That's the first place that came to my mind..." she told him as she walked

faster than him.

Meanwhile, Calyx was just following her from behind. He's still serious and doesn't talk that much just

like before. Physically, he had changed a lot just like Alpha Karius. His muscles had grown in their right

places and he became more serious than before. He's still the same loyal Beta of Alpha Karius.

"That... I can't let that happen. I will follow you around until Alpha Karius comes back. That's what he

ordered me to do," he said seriously, not really having the plans to let Lilian on what she wants to just

roam around the pack on her own.

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever..." she murmured and just let Calyx do what he wanted.

"I still can't believe that you're alive," Calyx said all of a sudden behind her. Calyx was actually

confused. All he thought before was Lilian was already dead. He investigated it himself but seeing her

in flesh right now made him a bit confused. And how come that she came from the Midnight pack? Did

they take her in? And it seems like Lilian has a deep relationship with the she-wolf Alpha of that pack.

Calyx reminded himself to talk to Alpha Karius about it once he had time. He could feel that something

had really changed on Lilian. After seeing her before, it seems like her attitude and aura really changed

a lot. She became... fiercer and more confident to herself. It was a good change but for him, it feels like

there's something more to it. And he would find it himself especially if it concerns Alpha Karius.

Lilian stopped from walking on what she heard. She turned around and looked at Calyx with a smirk on

her lips. "Believe it now. Well... just accept the fact that your Alpha failed to protect me back then that's

why I had been through a lot. But look... I was able to get through all of it."

He sighed deeply as he clenched his jaw. Calyx knew how devastated the Alpha is on what happened

to Lilian before and until now, he's still blaming himself. Even though Calyx doesn't really want to admit

it, the past few days, Alpha Karius became lively when he found out that Lilian is alive.

"He regretted all his decisions before. He's deeply sorry for everything that he did--"

"Cut it. I still want to see him suffer," Lilian said, shutting him off from speaking.

Calyx's expression instantly darkened at what she said. She just playfully smirked at him as he

clenched his jaw. He doesn't like how her lips curve in excitement as if she's really anticipating Alpha Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Karius' downfall. And he doesn't like it. Calyx realized that Lilian is maybe hiding something under her

sleeves. And he knew damn well that it wasn't a good thing.

"Don't you dare. I won't let you on your plans to ruin him." Her tone was playful but he could feel the

heaviness of it. Something is really off on the new version of Lilian in front of him now.

She chuckled. "And what? What are you going to do if I did? Are you going to kill me?" She bursted out

laughing, not minding the dark expression on Calyx's face. "We both know you can't do that. Before

you could even lay a finger on me, your Alpha will surely go berserk and who knows? He could also kill

you just for me. You're just his Beta while me... I'm her mate and her Luna."

His breathing labored as his hand balled into fist. It was clear that Calyx didn't really like what Lilian told

him. She wanted to laugh at his expression now but she remained composed in front of him when she

noticed that he's losing his cool and patience.

"I will make sure you'll never succeed," he told her with his gritted teeth.

"Okay. But just a reminder... I won't back down again just like before. Never again," she said before

continuing walking.

"L-LILIAN? LIAN?! Is that you?!"

Lilian turned around when she heard the familiar voice calling her from the other direction. She saw

Clarine looking at her with her teary eyes. Clarine still looked the same, only that she gained weight

and it seems like she doesn't look tired anymore just like before.

Clarine quickly went to Lilian and was about to hug her but then Calyx was quick enough to go in front

of her to stop her on what she's about to do. Calyx looked at Clarine with his most intimidating

expression.

"You can't just come closer to the Luna just like that. Know your boundaries," Calyx strictly said to

Clarine making her gasped and looked down.

"Y-Yeah, right. I'm sorry, I forgot that she's our Luna now," Clarine said awkwardly as her shoulders fell

down. She's actually sad knowing that Lilian is not the same Lilian that she knew before. Everything

has already changed. She reminded herself not to get too comfortable around Lilian from now on.

Lilian sighed. "It's fine. I know her."

Calyx brows furrowed. "Alpha Karius strictly told me to watch over you and don't just let anyone go

near or touch you. This is for your own safety."

Lilian's brows furrowed this time. "Didn't you hear what I said? I know her," she calmly said and used

his most authoritative tone with a hint of sharpness. As if Clarine will even hurt her.

That made Calyx immediately back down and just clenched his jaw, letting Lilian do what she wanted.

Lilian smiled at Clarine, encouraging her to continue what she was about to do a while ago. Calyx

stepped aside and that was Clarine's cue to go to Lilian and hugged her so tight.

"I... I can't believe that it's true! You're a-alive! I'm sorry, I wasn't able to do something to save you

before. It bugs me until now." Clarine suddenly started to sob on Lilian's shoulders.

"Shh. I'm fine now, Clarine." Lilian unwrapped her hands around her. "How are you? How's the omegas

here?" She looked around and suddenly felt confused.

The place has already changed. And it seems like the omegas are not like before anymore. They are

not busy working while someone is watching them. It seems like... they finally got the same privilege

just like the other wolves in the pack.

Clarine smiled. "We are all fine here now. You see, everything has changed here. And I'm no longer the

head of the omegas. Alpha Axel made me step down from my position."

"What? But, why?" Lilian's brows furrowed.

"A year ago, Alpha Karius decided to break the barrier between the higher ranked wolves and the

omegas. They are not treating us like slaves anymore. And we're so thankful that he finally got the

courage to change our system. It feels so nice that we're all treated the same now."

While Clarine was telling her those things, her eyes were glistening. It couldn't be denied that she's

happy.

Inside Lilian's head, she couldn't help but to feel confused. So, Alpha Karius made a decision to mix

omegas with the other wolves in the pack. Then, that's good. At least, they are not treated like the

pack's slaves now. She's happy for the omegas here.

"That's a nice news, then," she just said to Clarine with a small smile on her lips.

"Yeah. By the way, do you want to come with me? We are training on the field. Mason was the one

leading the training right now." Clarine suggested.

Hearing Mason's name, Lilian raised her brow. So, he's still here, huh, she thought.

"Okay. Let's go there," Lilian told Clarine.

Clarine immediately clung to Lilian's arm as they made their way towards the open field. And just like

what Clarine said, they are indeed training. Each of the wolves are holding their bow and arrow,

focusing to aim for the target just a few distance from them. They are practicing archery that reminded

her of the Midnight pack where she also used to train something like this.

Behind them was Mason seriously instructing the wolves, giving them the go signal before they

released their arrow.

As soon as they release the arrow, Mason's brows furrowed like he's not pleased on the target that the

wolves hit. It's far from the bullseye. Even from a few distance, Lilian was able to see how he clenched

his jaw as his hand balled into fist like he's stopping himself to lash out in anger. Before he could even

say a word, Calyx immediately caught his attention.

"The Luna is here. Give respect to her," Calyx said seriously to Mason.

Mason immediately drifted his eyes on Lilian. His face immediately paled when he saw her. The wolves

bowed down when they saw Lilian to give respect. Mason was the last one to bow down, making Lilian

smirked. She couldn't believe that the man who followed Gianna like a slave before is now bowing

down in front of her like a scared cat.

An idea suddenly came inside Lilian's mind. "Wow. You're practicing archery?"

Mason nodded hesitantly as he gulped. "Y-Yes, Luna..."

She smirked. "I want to practice with them. Can I?" She flashed her sweetest smile in front of them.

"Of course, you can, L-Luna."

Lilian clapped her hand excitedly as she got an extra bow and arrow at the table beside Mason. "But

can you do me a favor? Can you be my target instead and not the board there?" she asked, pointing

the board a few distance from them, making Mason almost fall on the ground and gasp.
