My father looked at Blake with meaningful eyes. The entire hall fell into deafening silence. All of us were looking at Blake, some of the members of the other packs looked convinced and were nodding their heads in agreement. Some of the members of the Red Moon Pack had ghastly and fearful faces, while the others, like Alan, were looking at Blake with rage."You...! What did you just say? How dare you openly threaten us!" Alan yelled as he started to step forward Blake, ready to start a fight. My father grabbed his arm before he could take a step."Stop," father ordered with an authoritative voice. Alan's eyes widened with surprise. He could not believe my father just stopped him."But Alpha--" He started to protest but my father raised a hand and cut him off. Alan's face turned from white to red. He pressed his lips together and glared at Blake instead.Seeing that Alan stood down, my father turned to Blake before saying, "I will find the murderer within three days." Only a few minu
Alan pushed the door open. Right away, the image of Vanessa clinging to Blake greeted us. Vanessa was standing so close to Blake. She was pressing her chest area to him and her hand was on top of his chest. Her shirt was almost half open, with her collar down and the top parts of her breasts seductively exposed. In direct contrast to her appearance, Blake on the other hand looked calm and at ease. He was just standing there without care, it was as if everything that was going-on did not involve him. He did not even look at Vanessa. Blake obviously did not care about Vanessa. But seeing her so close to him, I still felt a little jealous. On the other hand, Alan, who was standing two feet away from me, was vivid. He clenched his fists and his shoulders were trembling from anger. Vanessa looked at Alan with wide eyes. She quickly moved away from Blake and hurriedly fixed her shirt. Then, she started to approach Alan. “Alan... baby... It’s not what you think. I can explain...” She be
When I were back inside our assigned room, I hugged my legs and buried my face on my knees. Inside my heart, a feeling of turmoil was starting. "Father... he knew I was still alive?" I muttered to myself. A few hours have passed, yet I still could not forget the things that he said. "Now that I am out of the picture, did he already discover that Vanessa no longer needed my blood as a cure?" "Or did he perhaps recognize me? Is that the reason why he told Blake that he thinks I'm still alive?" My mind and my heart filled with confusion. "No, that's impossible," I shook my head as I shoot down my own idea. "I'm sure that father didn't recognize me. Otherwise, there is no way he would ask Blake to protect me.""After all..." I continued as I felt my heart sinking. "Father doesn't really love me... He was so cruel to me before..." "Maybe... father is still looking for me because he thinks my blood is necessary for Vanessa's health... That's the only reason why he would look for me..."
I was filled with shock and disbelief.Every symptom that was exhibited by my father’s trembling body was all too familiar with me.This poison was developed by me when I was young, however, I never have openly disclosed it to anyone in the pack and only my father and a select few elders knew about it.When this poison was released, everyone thought that there was no antidote to this poison and eventually it was banned.‘This can’t be possible!’ My heart skipped a beat because I knew that this poison had long disappeared.How did it suddenly appear here? And to think that the very poison I have developed was used against my father, I could not help but tremble.My eyes turned red as I was about to bend closer to check my father’s condition. I knew how the poison works and if it is not detoxified, he will surely, slowly die.As I attempted to bend down and check his condition, my father’s eyes met my gaze and I froze momentarily.“Cho-“ My father opened his mouth before he was interru
Everyone looked at Blake in surprise after hearing his declaration.Except Alan. He glanced at my direction with a strange expression. My heart tightened upon meeting his gaze. I quickly moved my glance away and avoided meeting his eyes.As for the rest of the people, they were quite hesitant and doubtful about Blake’s declaration, after all they just heard that the poison came from me as ‘Chloe’ and that there is no way that they could obtain the antidote. Blake, like the king that he has always been, was not bothered by their suspicions and just indifferent said, “My trusted aid and doctor is before you, Arthur. He is the most talented doctor in the Silver Pack. You can rest assured that he would be able to produce an antidote and cure Alpha Dean.” “Me?” Arthur, who was just minding his own business and being entertained with all the farce that was going on, stiffened. He stared and me and Blake with wide eyes, totally caught off-guard that his name was suddenly being sold off.
Since the blood needed to be freshly administered, I had to bring the bowl to my father for him to consume immediately. After taking it for three days, the poison in his body would be completely neutralized. And so I quickly went back to my father’s room, holding the bowl of antidote in my hand. But Standing at the door, my heart was frantic, and my hands trembled unconsciously. I try to hold back my nervousnessI raised my hand and knocked at it, waiting for him to respond and allow me inside. “Come in…” His voice rang from behind the door and so I quickly entered and saw that he was accompanied by Lisa. She saw something in my hand and stepped forward with an enthusiastic expression. Her hand stretched out wanting to take the antidote herself to administer to father. “Lisa, go and check the situation with Vanessa. Help her in every way in my stead. We only have two days to prepare for her inauguration after all.” Fortunately, my father said before Lisa's hand reached the bowl
I came out of my father's room with a heavy feeling. Cold wind blew on my face, making me shiver. It was already late and the weather was rather chilly.I looked around and saw that apart from me, no one else was outside, making the place cold and empty… " Like the feelings that I had in my heart," I softly muttered before I let out a bitter laugh. Then, like a faucet that was twisted open, tears started to blur my eyes. Thinking of my father's words, I felt an overwhelming bitterness fill my heart.After a short while, I heard footsteps approaching me. I hurriedly wiped away my tears and tried to calm down. A few seconds later, Vanessa and Alan appeared and were walking towards my father's room. They were the people I least wanted to see, especially at that moment. Thus, I nodded at them politely before turning to leave, trying not to have any more contact with them."Wait!" Suddenly, I heard Vanessa say. I froze before an ominous feeling suddenly appeared in my heart."What's you
It took time for Blake and I to return after roaming around the pack. Thus, upon hearing what Arthur said, the three of us went to the poison house without wasting another moment. Unsurprisingly, when we arrived there, my father was already waiting for us inside. The room was dim but I could already see the changes in his appearance compared to the last time I saw him. "Your condition improved a lot," Blake commented the moment he saw my father. Indeed, my father looked considerably healthier. I secretly let out a sigh of relief."Yes," my father replied. "I thought I would never have a chance to live again. This is all thanks to you, Dr. Arthur," he added. Although my father was talking to Arthur, as he spoke, his eyes were directed at me, making me feel a little uneasy.Beside me, Arthur smiled awkwardly. He scratched his head before saying with a slightly sheepish voice, "N-no problem... no problem... It was my job to do it." Blake watched the exchange without much expression o
