CHAPTER 64: The Friend
SIX YEARS LATER...
"KILL! KILL!"
Lilian called her five years old son at the backyard of the mansion with a playful smirk on her lips. Even
though her son is a bit far from her direction, she could still smell him. His son could be really playful if
he wants to. He tends to play around a lot but could also be serious in other things.
As what she promised to him, they are going to play together once she's done with her duties. She's
been really busy in the pack for a while now since the nearing Blood Moon will be held in an open
space this time which will happen in a field in the Moon Stone pack so she's been worrying a lot about
some other things. Lilian was really hands on that matter since she doesn't want to disappoint the
wolves. It took her a few days before she could bond with her son again. She already missed him so
much!
And now, she's fulfilling it and her son suggested earlier to her that they are going to play hide and
seek.
"Boo!" Lilian giggled when she found him hiding in the bushes. He pouted.
"Mama! You found me so fast!" He said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, with his brows
meeting this time like he's mad already. It really reminds her of her... mate. Instead of being sad on her
own thoughts, Lilian just smiled looking at her adorable son.
Killian Ambrose Lennox or "Kill" for short is her one and only son. He really looked like his father a lot.
From his eyes, brows, pointed nose and thin pinkish lips... there's no doubt that Alpha Karius is his
father. It was as if Lilian had been staring at the younger version of Alpha Karius whenever she looked
at her son. The way he smirked, frowned or chuckled... It always reminds her of Alpha Karius so much.
Kill is the reason why her pains and heartaches disappeared after she lost Alpha Karius. He became
her strength to her everyday battles. There are times that she would still miss Alpha Karius but it's not
that painful anymore. Killian was able to fill all the gaps that she felt in her chest. He's her ball of
sunshine when darkness and loneliness is creeping in her system again.
All throughout the years that she's not with Alpha Karius anymore, Lilian still feels the regrets in her
heart. She regretted that she wasn't able to show her affection to him when she was still alive. She
regrets that she didn't tell how much she loved him many times when she still had the chance. If only
she did all of it when she was still here... maybe she won't have these regrets... And what's really sad is
the fact that she only realized this now.
But she chose to think positively from now on. And besides, she poured all her attention to her little
one... the future alpha of the pack, Killian. He's the most beautiful thing that happened to her after all
that she had been through... after all the disaster that she experienced before.
"What do you want for snacks, honey?" Lilian asked her son as they made their way back towards the
mansion. It's already ten in the morning and they have been playing for almost three hours already.
"Anything, mama!" he replied as they were welcomed by the helpers of the mansion with a smile on
their lips. They are all fond of Killian, reason for them sometimes spoiling him which Lilian is really
against sometimes. They helped Killian change her clothes and went back to the dining table with the
snacks that Nadia prepared for him.
While eating, Lilian stared at her son again and sighed as she wiped Killian's lips.
"Where do you want to go next, honey?" Lilian asked him.
"To the falls, Mama. I want to see my friend again. I missed him already," he answered.
Lilian's brows furrowed. Killian is always talking about his friend that she never once meet yet. She
wanted to know about her son's friend to make sure if he's safe with him. Killian is obviously happy with
his so called friend but Lilian still wants to make sure.
"Okay. Let's go there later." Lilian slightly nods her head.
***
"NADIA, YOU'RE ALWAYS checking on my son, right?" Lilian asked Nadia when she saw her wiping
the dust on the table.
When Killian was done eating, he was assisted by one of the helpers to his room to take a dump first
before they went to the falls like what he wanted.
Nadia's brows furrowed. "Yes, Luna. Why?"
"Hmm, maybe you already met his friend on the falls? Killian told me again about his friend that he's
meeting there."
"Friend? I only know Uriel and Vince as his friends. He never once told me about his friends there. How
strange..." Nadia's head tilted a bit, like she's also thinking.
Uriel and Vince are the sons of Calyx and his mate, Vina. They are the only friends of Killian that Lilian
is familiar with since he's always playing with them whenever she's not around. When she's going to
the office, she would drop Killian in Calyx's house to play with his two sons.
"I just thought you knew about it..." Lilian shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Luna. I'll try to find out about it."
"No need to say sorry, Nadia. It's fine. I was just curious since Killian won't say a name."
Nadia slowly nodded her head. Seconds later, Killian came into Lilian's direction and excitedly hugged Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
her. "I'm so excited, Mama! I'm sure my friend is also excited to see me!"
Lilian just smiled as she held Killian's small hand. It took them a couple of minutes before they reached
the falls. Killian kept on screaming ij excitement making Lilian smile.
The water on the falls looks so unreal because it looks like it's shining from the sunlight.
"Let's swim, Mama!" Killian shouted at her as he removed all his clothes. He immediately jumped in the
water and swam.
Lilian is not worrying that he might drown since when he was still months old, he's already training how
to swim. And he learned faster than the other kids with the same age as him. It's not that surprising
anymore since he got the alpha's blood Lilian is also the chosen one of the moon goddesses. Many
wolves are even saying that Killian is such a great combination of her and Alpha Karius. Some witches
said that he's special... and the moon goddess must've given him something that they haven't
discovered yet and when the time comes that he will have his own ability, it will be dangerous if it won't
be controlled properly.
But Lilian is not really pressuring her son. She lets him play like any normal kid should do and lets him
do what he wants as long as it's for the better. And he's also training as the future alpha of the pack.
The earlier the better but in moderation for him to enjoy his childhood first.
It took a couple of minutes before Lilian also decided to swim. Killian isn't tired from swimming yet and
she could already hear his giggles in the cave near the falls. Her brows furrowed. It seems like he's
with someone... probably with his friend that he keeps on telling her about?
She shrugged her shoulders and decided to just follow him. Removing her clothes and leaving her
undergarments, Lilian swam on the cold water making her shiver all over her body. She followed Killian
until she reached the cave.
Just a few meters away from her, she saw the silhouette of her son sitting on a big rock with a... man.
His back is facing her making the brows on her forehead meeting even more.
"Killian, honey?" Lilian called the attention on her son, making him look at her.
Killian smiled. "Hello, mama! This is my friend, his name is Rius..." he introduced his friend.
And as cliche as it may sound, everything suddenly became slow motion to Lilian. The man slowly
looked at him, topless and wet from the cold water with his serious expression.
"Hi... love."
