CHAPTER 42: The Privacy
"HIS NAME IS Jackson Casters. He's a traveler and is currently residing at Halla. He's a wolf from a
pack in South Africa," Nadia said as she slightly tilted her head at Jackson's direction.
Alpha Karius looked at him curiously. Just by only looking at him, he could tell that he's tall. He has
curly hair and a pointed nose. His skin has a dark complexion and he really looked like a person who
doesn't even know how to joke. Alpha Karius straightened his back while looking at him. He could feel
that something is really odd with this man named Jackson in front of him.
"Jackson is also a blogger in his country and as of now, he's currently featuring different packs for his
blog and he chose your pack this time, Alpha Karius," Nadia explained. "I've heard some things about
his blog and I can say that he's good at what he's doing."
"Any identification?" Alpha Karius asked as he arched his brow a bit. He wanted to make sure if he's
really a blogger like what Nadia is saying. He reminded himself to make Calyx have a background
check on him. He couldn't risk it, especially his pack.
Jackson then moved and got something inside his pocket. He showed some IDs making Alpha Karius All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
tilted his head a bit. One is his nationality card, the other is his pack card, and the other one is an old
school card. He looked at him again and compared his face on the ID cards. The photo on the other ID
is actually blurry, making him more suspicious. While the two IDs are still new, like it has been only
released recently.
Well, even though Jackson already showed him his cards, he's still not fully convinced.
Jackson suddenly moved on his seat and smiled a bit. "I can assure you that I will only post positive
things about your pack in my blog." He smiled a bit. "I am actually amazed by how you rule your own
pack. In just a span of a year, you were able to change the system of your pack that has been followed
by your ancestors, the barrier between the higher rank wolves and the lower rank wolves, right?"
Alpha Karius just simply nodded. How did she even know that? Well, he's not sure anymore.
"What do you want to happen then?" Alpha Karius asked. Of course, he's not that dumb thinking that
he wanted something in his pack aside from his blog and stuff. He just knew that he had other business
in his territory. Something is really strange about the aura of this man named Jackson. There's only one
way for him to find out about it...
"Is it fine for you if... I'll stay here in your house for a couple of days until I'm done writing on my blog?"
Jackson asked as he cleared his throat.
Alpha Karius smirked. What a thick-faced man. Just what he thought. He specifically chose his
mansion to stay when he can even choose any houses out there. "Why do you think I'd let you stay
here? I can just let you stay in my office. I also have guest rooms there..." He smirked. He has guards
there that will look at him if ever he did something wrong. He can easily order them to punish this man
if he ever does something unpleasant to him.
That made Jackson a bit stunned but he was able to smile after. "Okay. If that's what you want, Alpha
Karius. I wouldn't mind staying at any place anyway. I could make some friends with your pack, too."
Jackson smiled like he's not even bother. "Thank you for your kindness."
Alpha Karius nodded his head a bit. "Okay. I'll ask Calyx to assist you. And I only have one rule for you
as you stay here in my pack."
"What is it, Alpha Karius?"
"No monkey business. If ever I found out that you're doing something behind my back, I'll personally kill
you with my bare hands." He threatened him and smiled at him. "So... welcome to my pack, Jackson
Casters. I hope you enjoy your stay here." He stood up and extended his hand for a handshake.
Jackson looked at his hand a bit. It took seconds before he also shook Alpha Karius' hand.
Alpha Karius smirked. Oh, he wouldn't mind killing any outsidyer in his pack if ever they do something
wrong...

"YOU SAW IT too, right?" Penny asked Alpha Karius when she entered his library. He checks some
documents first there before he goes back to his room where Lilian is sleeping.
He looked at Penny seriously. He's sure what she's pertaining to. It was Lilian and how she was able to
kill the rogue expertly awhile ago and her big wolf. Penny still can't get over the fact that Lilian was able
to do it when she knew that she's an Omega. She tried thinking what could possibly be the reason
behind it but she couldn't find it in her head.
"Yeah," he answered. "Maybe because she's the daughter of a she-wolf alpha..." he replied as if it's not
even a big deal. He already thinks about that possibility. But the other side of his brain is telling him that
there could be other possible reasons for that. He already has a hunch but he still needs to make sure
about it. He will know about it soon, he just needs more time to see for himself.
"A she-wolf alpha? How come?" Penny asked as her brows furrowed. She never really heard anything
about it. She only knows before that Lilian is actually living alone, no parents and doesn't have that
many friends. Other than that, she had known her as the kind hearted omega since she would
sometimes save her co-omegas when they're doing their dirty and heavy works before. She knew her
in a very short period of time but she could tell that she's one of the nicest people that she had met.
And Penny couldn't also feel sad knowing that she had changed. She changed and became cold. The
coldness of her stares made her shiver every time they talked. She changed because she has been
really hurt before, and Penny couldn't really blame her for that. It was her way to protect herself now.
"Do you remember the wolves that suddenly intruded here in our pack back when... Lilian was accused
of being a thief?"
"Yes. But what about them?" Penny's brows furrowed. Why does Alpha Karius suddenly ask about it?
She couldn't help but think about it.
"The wolves are from the Midnight pack, the pack that has a female alpha named Calista."
"Calista... her name seems familiar to me." Penny tried to think as her brows furrowed. Calista... where
did she even hear her name before? She tried to remember that name but she just couldn't get any
answer.
"She's pretty popular since some of the wolves are questioning her capability as an alpha. And her
mate died a long time ago in the war."
That made Penny straighten her back. Right. Now, she remembered. She's the Alpha that has been
really talk of the town because of being a female alpha. She shrugged a bit, thinking that Calista is
brave enough to rule her pack. Not every woman could do that but that doesn't mean that a woman is
not allowed to lead anymore.
"That's... sad. Don't tell me... she's the real mother of Luna Lilian?" Penny asked as the realization
suddenly started to hit her. Her eyes slowly widened as she looked at Alpha Karius.
Alpha Karius smirked. "She is. That's how badass my Luna is," he even told her proudly.
"Wow," she blurted out in awe.
"Yeah. Just wow. But I don't think that's the reason for her sudden capability..." His expression is
serious this time. "I think there's more to it that I need to know," he added.

LILIAN COULDN'T HELP but to feel confused. Why is Jackson suddenly here? What's his business
here?
That's what he thought when she woke up the next morning. She was disoriented at first, but
surprisingly, she calmed down when she saw an arm wrapped around her waist. She looked up and
saw Alpha Karius' sleeping face. Even if he's sleeping, he still looked ruthless because of his brows
meeting. His naturally red lips are slightly opened making her smell his minty breath. She suddenly had
the urge to caress his jaw but she stopped herself and rolled her eyes at her thought.
Lilian removed his arms around her waist gently, afraid that he might wake up but it's too late. He
slowly opened his eyes and looked at her before he smiled a bit.
"Good morning, love," he greeted with his deep husky voice. "How are you feeling now?" He lifted his
hand and fixed her hair, making Lilian's cheeks slightly heated.
But then, her brows furrowed after what he asked registered in her mind. Why is he asking how she is
feeling now? But then, what happened yesterday suddenly came to her mind where she discovered
something new to herself... where her wolf became bigger than its usual size and her strength. It
bothers her too much and she actually appreciates Alpha Karius for asking that much about it since
she's also confused about herself.
"I'm fine." Lilian gets up from the bed. "I'll go back to my room now. I'll fix myself."
"No need. Everything you need is already here," he said and also got up from the bed, revealing his
naked chest. She looked away when she realized how hot he is even in the morning. His disheveled
hair and sleepy eyes just made him hotter even more. He suddenly wrapped his arm back around her
waist and put his chin on her shoulder, sniffing her neck.
Instead of getting away from him, Lilian surprisingly didn't bother to remove his arm around her. She
looked at it and slightly pulled the hair on his arm playfully. He didn't mind it and just tightened his arm
around her.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I put all your clothes and things here. From now on, we're going to stay in one room, love. I want to
have privacy with you..." he playfully said as his hand on her waist hitched up and reached her left
breast, giving it a good squeeze, making her arched her brow a bit.
