The Omega's Sweetest Revenge

55. The Surprise

CHAPTER 55: The Surprise

MANY YEARS AGO...

"N-NADIA, AM I a bad kid?" The little Karius asked the old helper as he sat on one of the stools to drink

the milk prepared for him before going to sleep. It was already dark outside and he's been waiting for

her mama to come home, only to get ignored by her in return. It was as if he's not exist at all. He

couldn't understand why he has to be hurt like that all the time when she's around. His heart was

always aching when that happened.

Why would he always feel that kind of pain to his own mother?

Nadia looked at the innocent child and sat in front of him. "Of course not, Karius. You're a very nice

kid." She smiled at him and caressed his cheek gently. She's hurting for the little alpha. She's also

asking the goddess why he needed to go through this kind of pain at a very young age.

He pouted. "But... why does my momma doesn't love me?" he asked innocently and sighed.

Nadia's smile was immediately erased as soon as the little Karius asked that question. She knew pretty

well the reason behind his mother being aloof towards him. And she can't blame her for acting that way

towards her son. But then she somehow couldn't understand how Luna could hate this sweet little

alpha in front of her? He's so adorable and smart! At a very young age, he was able to answer some

equations and questions that only an adult could answer. He's gifted, but it wasn't enough for his own

mom to give her attention to him.

"Oh, she loves you so much, Karius. It's just that... we have different ways of showing our love to

everyone around us. In your mama's case, maybe she's just busy with some other things that's why

you couldn't see how she really loves you. She's your mother after all..." Nadia carefully explained to

him. As the little Karius grew up, she witnessed how he craved to be noticed by his own mother. And it

hurts her whenever he only gets ignored in the end despite being a good boy.

The little Karius nodded. "Okay. I'll try to understand my mama from now on." He smiled, as if he wasn't

hurt at all. He's a little ball of sunshine.

Despite his little heart being crushed on his mama's treatment towards him, Karius couldn't help but to

always hope. That one day... she would love him, too. He never loses hope so he won't stop praying to

the goddess that he will soon grant his wish to be loved by his momma someday.

"I'll just play outside with Calyx," the little Karius informed Nadia the next morning after his breakfast.

Nadia just nodded in return. He really likes to play with Calyx so much since he's not that talkative and

always giving way to him. It was Calyx who really understands him the most.

He found Calyx in the maze with some other kids. There was a table and chairs there and they were

like watching something interesting. They are not playing their usual physical games right now, making

Karius curious even more. And when he got there he was actually surprised. They are playing chess

this time. And Karius was excited since he never played that kind of game before even though he

heard so much about it.

"Can I join?" he asked the other kids, making some of them look in his direction. The others are still

focused on the game they are watching.

"Sure!" It was Josiah who replied and everyone agreed. "But after this game, you will play with the one

who will win later."

Karius nodded and played the game. He studied how they move their chess pieces and how the

players use it against their opponents in just a couple of minutes, especially the one who's leading the

game. It wasn't that difficult for him to know their next moves since he's also a fast learner.

"You never played chest, right?" said Calyx when he stood beside him.

He nodded his head. "Hmm. Yeah," he answered truthfully.

"And you will still join?" Calyx brow raised a bit, couldn't believe that Karius was eager to join despite

him not really knowing the game.

"Uh-huh!"

"What if you'll lose in that game? They have an agreement that the loser will grant the winner's wish as

punishment. Aren't you afraid?" He asked with his threatening tone and smirked at him. But deep inside

Calyx, he was actually impressed by his eagerness to join the game. There's no fear in his eyes

despite not being familiar with the game. But then, Calyx trusts Karius. He knew about his capability

and since he's naturally smart... he knew that Karius got this...

He shook his head. "Hmm. Not really." He chuckled a bit.

"Tss." Calyx just shook his head as if he was disappointed in what he said. He was actually thinking

that he would have a sudden change of mind. But he didn't. Karius just smirked and continued

watching the chess game.

After a couple of minutes, the game was finished and Bryan was declared as the winner. Bryan is really

good at chess. He's tall and more ahead of the other kids here. He's taller and fatter, and everyone

fears his wolf since it's also fat. He's laughing at his opponent now like he's mocking him for being a

loser.

"W-What is your wish, then?" asked Nick who's the loser in the game. He looked nervous now as the

other kids kept on cheering Bryan.

Bryan acted as if he was thinking and even touched his chin with the tip of his finger and looked up a

bit. "Hmm. Give me your wallet."

"Huh? For what?" Nick looks puzzled.

"No questions, Nick. Just give it to me." Bryan even extended his hand.

Nick was still contemplating a bit but then he took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to Bryan.

Bryan smirks and opens Nick's wallet and suddenly gets all his remaining money there.

"Woah. I never knew that you have a fat wallet," Bryan said as he chuckled, getting all the remaining

money from Nick.

"P-Please, don't get all my money." Nick pleaded like he's about to cry now.

"Na-uh. We had an agreement. Whoever the loser will grant the winner's wish. And I wished to get all

your money in your wallet so you don't have the choice but to give it to me." Bryan laughed again. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Nick looked down and sighed. Karius really felt bad about him. A thought suddenly came to his mind.

"Who's the next challenger?" Bryan asked as he looked at the other kids around them.

Karius raised his hand without any hesitation. "Me."

Bryan looked at his direction. "Okay! C'mon here, kid." He gestured to him to sit on the chair that had

been occupied by Nick earlier.

"Take it easy on him, Bryan. I heard he doesn't know how to play this game," said one of the kids

standing behind Bryan and even massaged his shoulders. Bryan is more ahead than those other kids

here so everyone fears him.

"Oh, you don't? Don't worry, kid. I'll pretend like I'm a toddler so the game will be fair and square."

Bryan laughed together with the other audience around.

Instead of being offended, Karius just smirked at them. "Okay. Let's start!"

Bryan nodded, still smirking as they started playing chess. Karius was the laughingstock of the

audience at first. But then they were all shocked when he suddenly finished the game with just five

moves.

"Checkmate," Karius muttered as he looked at Bryan whose face was now turning red because of

shame. Bryan gritted his teeth as he glared at Karius. "All is fair and square here." Karius even

shrugged, making Bryan even more pissed.

"No! I thought you didn't know how to play?! You played like fucking pro! You fucking liar!" Bryan

shouted as he suddenly flipped the chessboard making it fall on the ground. Everyone gasped at what

they witnessed but no one dared to move to stop them. Bryan's canines already elongated as he

breathed heavily.

Karius instinctively stepped back at his sight. Bryan is wolfing out making everyone suddenly scared!

"Karius, let's go!" He heard Calyx scream at him but he couldn't just move anymore that Calyx had no

other choice but to suddenly hug him tight when Bryan suddenly attacked him.

But Karius was shocked when it was Calyx who was attacked and got clawed on his back. He could

see how pained Calyx is the moment he was clawed by Bryan. Calyx groaned in so much pain as he

still hugged him tight.

Suddenly, all that Karius sees is... red.

Karius couldn't understand his own body anymore. He felt like the tiniest thread of his patience had

been cut all of a sudden. He became a... monster.

"AAHHH!!"

Everything happened so fast. Karius could hear how Bryan suddenly screamed in pain when he's now

the one who suddenly attacked him. He beat him to the ground like he only weighed nothing. He

pierced his skin until his blood was splattering on his face and on the ground. His claws are buried

where his heart is beating. He couldn't control his own body anymore. It was as if he's someone else.

Moments later, everything has sinked into him.

He looked at his own hand that's now covered with Bryan's blood. "N-No..." he whispered.

He killed Bryan without feeling any remorse.

That day, he realized that he's not just a monster...

He has the blood of a demon... the reason why her own mother hasn't loved him ever since he was a

kid.

He's carrying the blood of a demon who violated his own grandmother in the past.

PRESENT DAYS...

"IT'S BETTER IF you leave for now, Luna," Calyx said, making Lilian go back to reality.

Everything suddenly hits her like a whirlwind. She just saw a glimpse of Alpha Karius' memory in her

head. It was because of their mate bond. It was possible for her to see that memory of Alpha Karius

because of their connection to each other as mates.

"W-What is happening to him?" Lilian asked with her trembling tone. She could still hear the animalistic

groan of Alpha Karius who's being chained tightly.

Calyx smirked. "I bet you already knew about it. You entered his library, right?" His tone was mocking.

Her eyes widened in shock. "H-How..." They knew?

"Alpha Karius knew about it but he didn't want to confront you. He's not that dumb to not realize it. He's

just being blinded with his feelings for you. Now, it's better if you leave now because your smell will only

make things hard for him."

Lilian was still shocked but she stepped back and didn't have a choice anymore but to slowly leave with

a glimpse of Alpha Karius' demon form as she left the attic room.

She went back to the living area and was shocked when the smell of blood invaded her nostrils. She

gasped on what she suddenly saw. The helpers' lifeless bodies are scattered everywhere with their

blood splattered messily.

"Fuck..." Lilian muttered and almost jumped from where she's standing when the head of Mia suddenly

rolled in front of her. She almost puked at that sight!

She wasn't recovered at that sight yet when she heard the laugh of a woman as she stood proudly just

a meter far away from her.

"Didn't you like my surprise, hmm? Oh, the filthy omega... I'm back!"

Lilian glared at her. She's back. Gianna is back.
