Chapter 39: This is... my other Alpha partner.

"All right. Older brother will help you cancel that mate mark. No matter what the method or the risk, Older brother will make sure that mark disappears from your body in less than a month."

He fell silent for a moment before shaking his head.

"No. Even one week is too long for me to find the way."

Liliana smiled then nodded and reached for Cassian’s arm.

"Ehm, I trust Older brother."

Cassian said nothing. He glanced sharply at Xavier before turning around and walking toward the academy dormitory.

"Use this. Cover your hair and face. Don’t let other ruffians desire you, understand?" Cassian said while taking off his cloak and helping Liliana cover her hair.

Liliana nodded and let Cassian help her put on that cloak.

Xavier behind them could only watch the departure of the two with bitterness.

"So, is this what it feels like to be thrown away and unwanted?" Xavier asked.

He rested his head on the ground. The image of Liliana’s face during the marking process earlier flashed again in his mind.

His face turned red instantly.

He covered his face with his right arm.

"Damn. Truly a troublemaking woman," Xavier cursed.

As soon as they arrived in front of Liliana’s dormitory room, Liliana pulled Cassian into her room.

"Kak, come with me. There’s something I want to tell you."

Cassian tilted his head before nodding and closing Liliana’s room door.

"What do you want to say?" he said while walking toward Belang and shooing him down from Liliana’s bed.

Liliana took off Cassian’s cloak from her head and sat beside him.

"Kak, there’s something strange that I experienced today."

"Strange?" Cassian asked.

"Is it possible that the Moon Goddess gave me a punishment because I allowed Alaric and Adrian to reject me as their luna in the past?"

"Stupid! The Moon Goddess is not blind. Why would she punish you? The ones who are blind are Adrian and Alaric who dared to reject you as their luna and instead chose a useless trash girl like your younger sister as their luna."

Liliana reached for her hair that had now turned completely white.

"After Xavier finished marking me as his luna, my hair changed color to white instantly. Besides that, my face... the scar on my face that was made by Mother healed instantly. I didn’t even notice it at all. Didn’t Mother say the scar on my face would be difficult to remove without the antidote potion from Mother?"

Cassian stared at Liliana’s face for a moment.

"Don’t worry about this. Mother said there is a possibility that unexpected things happen with the medicine she made to create the scar on your face. She has already given me another medicine if that happens, considering your healing ability that will definitely become even stronger."

"Wait here first. Older brother will return to the room and get the new medicine for you," he said without allowing Liliana to speak again.

It didn’t take long for Cassian to return with a bottle of dark green medicine in his hand. On the outside of the bottle there was large writing: Liliana’s Wound Medicine.

Cassian closed the door tightly again and sat beside Liliana.

"Older brother will apply it on you. Endure the pain for a moment."

Liliana stared at Cassian then nodded.

The scent of the medicine came out from inside the bottle and filled Liliana’s room.

Cassian took a brush and applied the medicine liquid from the bottle to the left side of Liliana’s face.

Slowly, very slowly, the scar on Liliana’s left face became visible again. Fine raised lines, red and black in color, filled the left side of her face.

"Does it hurt?" Cassian asked once he saw Liliana biting her lip.

Liliana nodded. "Quite painful."

"Endure a little longer," Cassian said.

After finishing, Cassian immediately closed the bottle in his hand and stared at Liliana.

"Your face now is much better. At least this won’t bring many problems for you."

"Ehm, I think so too," Liliana answered.

She stood up and took the medicine bottle from her drawer, then began applying it to her silver hair.

"But, Kak, for my hair," she said while making sure every strand of her hair had changed color perfectly. "This changed too quickly. If something happens, someone will definitely suspect me."

"Mother is researching hair dye. Be patient. Mother will send it once it has been successfully made."

Belang rubbed his face against Liliana’s leg, trying to seize the girl’s attention.

"Are you hungry?" Liliana asked.

"Err..." the striped tiger answered.

Liliana got up and hurriedly opened the refrigerator, then took out a large tray of pork.

"Is Belang’s food enough? I will buy more on the lower floor," Cassian offered.

Liliana shook her head. "I will go down myself, Older brother rest. I also want to buy something for my needs."

Cassian nodded.

"In that case, I will return to my room. Rest once you’re finished. There is still a lot of time before the learning process begins."

Liliana nodded, saw Cassian out of her room, then hurriedly went down to the cafeteria on the lower floor.

Even though it was still early morning, the cafeteria was already open and there were already many academy students coming in and out of the cafeteria while carrying shopping bags.

Liliana entered and walked toward the refrigerator. She took ten trays of raw beef and several personal necessities.

"Miss, do you have a shopping bag?" the cashier on duty asked.

Liliana blinked.

"I don’t have one. May I buy one at the same time?" Liliana asked.

"Miss, the stock of shopping bags is out. We will restock when the day is a little later. They should have hurried back. Do you want to wait?"

Liliana stared at her shopping items, then looked at the clock beside the cashier’s desk.

"Will it take long?" Liliana asked to make sure.

"Not long, only about ten minutes at the latest."

"Ehm." Liliana nodded. "I’ll just wait," she said while looking for a seat not far from the cashier.

Liliana took a piece of chocolate that had been paid for and ate it slowly.

The wounds on her body from the marking process done by Xavier had completely disappeared after she entered the room and healed them earlier.

"Miss," someone greeted.

Liliana looked up instantly.

The handsome face of a man appeared right in front of her face.

Liliana swallowed her saliva unconsciously.

"You..." Liliana said.

The man smiled.

"You feel it too, don’t you?" he asked.

Liliana’s heart beat hard. Very hard. The sweat on her temple finally fell and wet her face.

Her body trembled when she smelled the scent of the man who now stood so close to her.

This is... my other Alpha partner.
