CHAPTER 07: The Punishment
"LET'S SWITCH!" Dahlia insisted as she went to Lilian with her puppy eyes and clasping hands. She's
obviously hoping that Lilian would switch rooms with her and clean the room of the Alpha. If Lilian is in
a different situation, of course, she would love that idea but she can't just defy Nadia's words... or make
a mistake because of Mason's threat earlier to them.
Lilian sighed. "We can't. Nadia already told you where to clean. We can't just disobey her," she said
calmly to her.
"Don't push it, Dahlia. Just go to your designated room and start cleaning. We can't just slack off here,"
Clarine said, this time with her most authoritative tone as the head of the Omegas. Even though Clarine
always looked positive and jolly, she's sometimes strict on the rules. One of the reasons why she has
been selected as the Omega's head.
"Fine!" Dahlia pouted and stomped her foot, marching away from them to go to the room where she's
assigned. Clarine and Lilian just looked at each other and shook their heads. Jasmine already left and
started cleaning.
Clarine looked at Lilian with concern in her eyes. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay cleaning that
room?" she asked.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Lilian asked her. Clarine was about to say something but then she sighed
and didn't push it anymore.
Lilian tilted her head a bit, realizing something. It seems like Clarine knew something as she looked at
her eyes. She's not sure but it seems like Clarine's eyes are screaming with worry and pity, which she's
not sure where is coming from. Lilian had a hunch but... Is it possible that she knew about her secret
relationship with Alpha Karius before?
Lilian shook her head with that idea. That's impossible. Only Calyx knew about their relationship. And
Alpha Karius made sure that no one would know about it. And aside from that, they had been careful in
their relationship. So, her hunch is certainly not right.
"Nothing. So, I shall go now to fulfill my duty. Bye for now," Clarine said as she waved her hand and left
Lilian with her deep thoughts.
When Lilian was left, she decided to open the room and sighed. She's being paranoid again. Might as
well fulfill her duty as soon as possible to leave the mansion immediately.
A spacious room welcomed her. The walls are painted with white and decorated with some old
paintings that she's sure cost a fortune. There are also some books on the shelf. She scoffed when she
was able to sniff the familiar scent of the man who hurted her. She always loved to sniff that scent
before but now, it makes her vomit. She hates it now.
"So, this is also going to be his room, huh..." Lilian whispered to herself with a bitter smirk formed on
his lips.
She saw some bags at the side of the bed. She assumed that it was owned by Luna who's also going
to occupy this room from now on. Maybe it was her luggage.
It was a torture staying inside the room as Alpha Karius scent is also lingering around. She started
cleaning and wiping the dust at the table when suddenly, the room at the corner opened revealing a
woman wearing a robe. She's wiping her wet hair with another towel as her sweet scent starts to linger
in the air. Her skin is tan like those Latina women she sees in magazines. Even though her body was
covered with a robe, Lilian could tell that she's sexy. She's actually tall and Lilian has almost the same
height as her.
Lilian's lips pursed when she realized that this woman was the same woman that she saw with Alpha
Karius when Calyx made that announcement. It was his Luna. She mentally raised her brow. What are
the odds that she's going to meet Alpha Karius' woman this way? Then, she realized that she doesn't
know her name yet. Even though Calyx already introduced her to the whole pack, Lilian wasn't able to
memorize her name as she was too focused on the betrayal and pain that she was feeling at that time.
"What the hell?! Are you a thief? Why did you enter this room?!"
Lilian's eyes widened in fraction at the woman's sudden accusation. And heck, a thief? Lilian is so sure
that even though she's wearing an old dress, she doesn't look like a thief. In fact she's presentable
enough and for her to conclude that she's a thief slightly insulted her.
"I'm not a thief," Lilian calmly said to her. "I'm sorry. I'm here to clean the room--"
"I don't believe you! Strip! Maybe you're hiding something inside your clothes! Did you steal
something?!" She ordered as her tone raised a bit, making Lilian gasps.
"W-What? I didn't steal anything!" Lilian slightly shook her head, as if it was enough to make the
woman believe that she's not really a thief.
"That's an order from your Luna! You're going to strip or I'll be the one to strip you?" She threatened as
she glared at Lilian. Her eyes turned cobalt blue a bit, a sign that she's wolfing out.
Lilian's mouth hangs open as fear starts to consume her system. But then she couldn't help but to feel
disappointed. So, this is the Luna of the pack, huh. She just jumped into conclusion that she's a thief
without even hearing her proper explanation or looking at the cleaning tools that she's holding! She
doesn't want to say it but Luna is really stupid for thinking that way of her!
Even though Lilian wanted so badly to defend herself and tell her that she's not really a thief, she
calmed herself to not burst in anger. How could this woman accuse her of something that she didn't
even do?
"I won't strip because I'm not hiding anything." This time, Lilian's voice is filled with conviction. "Like I
said, I'm here to clean. Now, please excuse me--"
"You dare to talk back to your Luna, huh!? I won't tolerate this!" She shouted again and suddenly
advanced towards Lilian's direction. Lilian was alarmed and as a defense mechanism, she crossed her
arms in front of her chest, afraid that she might really strip her like she was saying.
But what Lilian didn't see coming was the hard slap that crossed her cheek. Her nails brushed on her
skin, causing it to bleed. Since she's an Omega, the healing of the wound that the woman caused was
slow. Lilian could feel the sting on her cheek that she wasn't able to move quickly.
She remained looking at the floor, her hair slightly disheveled because of the impact of her slap. Damn.
That was one painful blow.
"Now, I know why your attitude stinks. You're just a low class wolf, a stupid and dirty omega," the
woman said and suddenly forcefully pulled Lilian's clothes, tearing it off from her body.
"N-No! Please!" Lilian pleaded when she noticed that she's really serious about stripping her clothes
off. She tried to dodge her hands but she just received another slap from her, causing her head to spin
a bit. "Please, s-stop!"
"Why don't you want to strip, huh? It makes me really believe that you're a thief!"
She forcefully pulled Lilian's dress until her undergarments were revealed in front of her. Her bra and
panty are now on full show. A lone tear escaped from Lilian's eyes, thinking how selfless her situation
is. Even if she'll scream and ask for help, for sure they wouldn't listen to her. Why would they even
listen to an Omega anyway?
Lilian's skin is now full of scratches as her eyes are getting blurry because of her own tears. But the
woman didn't stop from hurting her even though she already saw that she's not hiding something.
She's unstoppable, like no one could stop her anger right now. She continued hitting her without
remorse.
"Luna Gianna!"
Just when she's about to drop on the floor, Nadia comes inside gasping in shock. Nadia's eyes were
widening as she looked at the helpless Lilian on the floor. But instead of helping her, Nadia went to their
so-called Luna and scanned her body if she was hurt.
"W-What happened here, Luna?" Nadia asked, not minding Lilian on the floor crying without any sound.
"Call Mason and fucking punish this woman! She's a thief!" She pointed at Lilian in anger as she
breathed heavily. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Nadia didn't say a word. Lilian saw Nadia nodded before she stormed out of the room.
"You won't get away from this, woman! I'll make sure that Alpha Karius will also know about your rotten
attitude."
Lilian didn't bother to say a word anymore, afraid that might anger add to her anger. She didn't dare to
say a word that might trigger her even more. It seems like the Luna of the pack has an anger issue that
she lashed out on her just like that.
Moments later, Mason came inside with his serious expression. "You called for me, Luna?" He asked
before drifting his gaze on Lilian.
"Take this bitch with you and punish her."
Mason didn't say a word and suddenly pulled Lilian harshly on the floor. Lilian tried to get away from
Mason but his grip just tightened that she could feel how it bruised her skin. Mason is clenching his jaw
as his eyes turned to slit.l
"M-Mason, please... I didn't do anything. B-Believe me..." Lilian pleaded helplessly, hoping that Mason
would still listen to her and spare her even though it was already impossible.
"Shut the fuck up! What did I tell the four of you a while ago, huh? I'll punish you personally if you're
going to make a mess!" He continued pulling Lilian harshly again until they reached the entrance of the
mansion and there, they saw Alpha Karius and Calyx who's about to go inside. They are both sporting
their serious expression but then their brows furrowed when they saw Lilian being pulled by Mason
harshly.
Mason bowed his head a bit as a sign of respect to the Alpha.
"Where are you going to take her?" Calyx was the one who asked first. Alpha Karius remained quiet
but Lilian looked at him with her teary eyes, hoping that he would help her. If there's someone who
could still change Mason's decision to punish her, that would be Alpha Karius. His jaw only clenched
before looking away, as if he's disgusted to look at Lilian, making her cry even more.
"I'll punish her. It was an order from Luna Gianna," Mason answered. "So, if you'd excuse us..." he
trailed.
"B-But..." Calyx looked at Lilian once again before his gaze drifted to Alpha Karius who's still not saying
anything. He then sighed when he realized that the Alpha has no plan to say a word on this.
When Mason realized that Calyx and Alpha Karius had nothing to say anymore, he pulled Lilian again.
Lilian tried to look back at Alpha Karius, hoping that he would still say something but there's none. He
ignored her, making her chest hurt even more. She's so mad at him. So mad that she had a thought on
hurting him, too.
