CHAPTER 32: The Pouring Rain
"THIS IS FUCKING corny," Calyx said as he looked at the red balloons scattered on the floor of the
tree house before throwing Alpha Karius his disgusting expression. Goodness. He never knew that a
time would come that he would be doing this right now. He's known for being the strongest warrior next
to the Alpha and here he is... fixing these red and shiny balloons while Alpha Karius is glaring at him.
Alpha Karius just shook his head. "Can you just do your work quickly? Just blow the fucking balloons
and put it there. I swear, if those would pop, I will fucking castrate you," he said with his most
threatening tone as he pointed the balloons on the newly painted walls of the tree house.
He has been preserving the tree house for a long time now. He painted the walls and changed the
wood to a stronger one to make sure that it's in very good condition. He also changed the roof to a new
one and extended it and placed a small table where he put the picture frame with his picture with Lilian
at the top of it. He changed the windows into glass, making them view the beauty of nature in front of
them. He had been cleaning the tree house regularly, making sure that the things in here are still good
to use.
He wanted to show these all to Lilian. He did these all for her. This place is so close to his heart
because this was their meeting place before, the only place that witnessed their love for each other.
"Why do you even need to do this on your birthday? You can just celebrate it with the pups again like
what you did the last time," Calyx replied as he followed what Alpha Karius instructed him to do. He
blows the balloons and uses it as a design at the edges of the wall while Alpha Karius is busy on the
lights.
Today is Alpha Karius' birthday and like what Calyx said, he celebrated it with the pups before since
Lilian is still not with him before because they thought that she's already dead. He wanted to celebrate
his special day now with Lilian. His wish on his previous birthday came true. He wished that Lilian
would come back to him and the Goddess must've heard all his prayer because he granted it now.
But he somehow couldn't help but to feel sad knowing that Lilian had forgotten about his special day.
She's been avoiding him for days now and it hurts him everytime she would just talk to her coldly.
When will the warm Lilian come back to him? He sighed.
"Have you informed one of the helpers in the mansion to relay my message to my Luna?" Alpha Karius
asked, suddenly remembering about it.
"Yeah. But you know... I'm just worrying about something, Alpha Karius."
"What is it?" Alpha Karius' brows furrowed in confusion.
Calyx sighed heavily. "Nevermind. Let's just continue designing your very own tree house." He slightly NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
shook his head and continued what he's doing.
Calyx brushed away the idea in his mind. He's really having a bad feeling about this but he chose to
just ignore it since Alpha Karius seemed to enjoy his day. There's a small smirk on his lips as they both
decorated the tree house which they are not really used to doing ever since before. Alpha Karius really
made an effort to make these all things possible.
Calyx actually suggested to Alpha Karius to just call some wolves to do the decorations here instead
but he did it all personally with him since he doesn't want anyone that would just step inside here. This
tree house is really a sacred place for him. He doesn't want anyone to enter this place just like that but
of course, Calyx is an exemption.
Even if he doesn't want to say it in front of Alpha Karius, Calyx is really worried that Lilian might not
come later. He saw how he avoided Alpha Karius the past few days and he can't really help but to think
negatively about it.
"What about the food, Calyx? The pastry shop where I ordered the cake? Is it all fine now?" Alpha
Karius asked Calyx worriedly.
"It's all fine now. I will go there later to get the cake."
Alpha Karius just nodded his head, feeling thankful that Calyx is here with him right now. On his
previous birthday, he chose to celebrate it with the pups when the school was still newly built at that
time. And since Lilian is here now, he wanted to celebrate his birthday with her. He wanted to make
everything perfect this time.
Moments later, Calyx and Alpha Karius were done decorating the whole tree house. Alpha Karius
smiled, feeling satisfied with the outcome of what they did. For a first timer, the decoration that they did
was nice.
"Aren't you going to eat your lunch first?" Calyx asked him. "C'mon, Alpha. Let's get out here for a bit.
I'm starving."
Alpha Karius shook his head. "I'm not yet hungry. You can go if you want and besides, I can't leave the
place. The balloons might pop and no one would be able to see to change it if I leave."
Calyx brows furrowed. "Fine. If that's what you want, Alpha."
Alpha Karius just nodded as a reply and watched as Calyx left him. When he came back, he gave him
his food to eat his lunch there and he thanked him for that before putting the food for later in his mini
refrigerator.
"You should go, Calyx. Check on my Luna later if she's already on her way here," he commanded
Calyx.
"Okay," Calyx answered as he left Alpha Karius.

AFTER CALYX BROUGHT lunch for Alpha Karius, he ate a bit first and didn't really leave the tree
house. Alpha Karius asked Calyx to look at the tree house first before he fixed himself a bit to look
presentable. He has extra clothes in the tree house so he doesn't need to leave anymore.
"What do you think about this?" Alpha Karius showed his outfit in front of Calyx.
"That's... fine, I guess." Calyx shrugged his shoulders boredly.
Alpha Karius is wearing a light blue formal long sleeve shirt. It fits him perfectly as he folded it up to his
elbow exposing his veiny arms. He's also wearing slacks and shiny black shoes that complemented his
long sleeve shirt. He waxed his hair and sprayed himself his manly perfume as he smirked in front of
the mirror nervously.
He never doubted his looks but at this moment, Alpha Karius couldn't help but to feel tense knowing
that he will meet Lilian later. He just hopes that Lilian will like how he looks right now.
"So... I should go now, right?" Calyx said after a couple of minutes. They didn't notice the time
anymore. The sun is already setting and moments later, Lilian will be here to celebrate his birthday with
Alpha Karius.
Alpha Karius couldn't help but to feel excited and giddy. He's hoping that everything will turn out well
later.
"Yeah. Thank you for your help on this, Calyx," Alpha Karius said sincerely to him as he tapped his
shoulder lightly. Of course, this won't all be possible without him. Calyx was the one who fixed the
electricity here so the lights that the Alpha Karius put around the tree house are working.
"No problem, Alpha." Calyx shrugged his shoulders. "I gotta go now."
Alpha Karius just nodded his head. Meanwhile, Calyx already informed the helper in the mansion to
fetch Lilian to go to the meeting place. So, he's now free to rest for this day since his work is done.
As soon as Calyx entered his house, he sat on his sofa and sighed deeply with his thought that Alpha
Karius is indeed willing to do everything for his mate, even the corniest thing. He doesn't see him as
being like that. He hasn't found his mate yet so he's not sure if he will be like that in the future too.
Moments later, the cold breeze of the air entered from the windows of his house. His brows furrowed. It
looks like it would rain, too. He shrugged his shoulders and decided to close the windows. Maybe
Alpha Karius is already enjoying his time with his Luna at this moment. He's happy for him and just
shrugged off the negative idea in his mind. He shouldn't think negatively about Lilian from now on since
he's now their new and real Luna. Alpha Karius already claimed and marked her.
On the other hand, Alpha Karius couldn't help but to feel anxious when the rain suddenly started to
pour as he paced back and forth. Time passes by quickly. He didn't notice the time anymore, getting
worried because of the rain that suddenly poured.
"Where is she now?" He asked, talking to himself when the rain started pouring hard as the wind blew
the balloons that he decorated. He couldn't help but to feel worried about Lilian. If ever Lilian is on her
way here now, he's probably stuck now somewhere! The pouring rain is so heavy and the strong
breeze of the wind is getting more dangerous since he could see how the trees moved harshly from the
glass window. "Fuck!" He cursed when he remembered the lights he surrounded the tree trunks earlier.
He decided to go down to just remove it, not noticing that he's already wet and drenched from the rain.
He removed it even though it's against his will. While doing all the work, his thoughts are just on Lilian
and how she is now.
But on the other side of his brain, it was telling him that Lilian just ditched him but his heart refused to
believe it. He never knew that his birthday would be really this sad because Lilian didn't come to see
him on his special day.
He stood there waiting for her to meet him under the pouring rain.
