Vanessa’s POV“Have you heard about the news?” One day when I was busying myself with my responsibilities as an Alpha, my mother Lisa knocked on my office and asked me this odd question. “What is it, mother?” I raised my brows and looked at her perfunctory. Only to see my mother with an odd expression as she answered, “Chloe turned out to be pregnant!” “What did you say mom? Come again?” I could not believe what I heard and so I asked her again. “She is pregnant! I heard it from the pack doctor himself.!” My mother emphasized. “Who could be the father? Is that the rogue whom Father forced to exchange as her mate?” I could not hide the gloating on my face as I asked my mom. “It could be, after all they were mates.” My mother shrugged and replied. “But why did Chloe suddenly run back to the pack? Could it be because of this?” I could not help but think deeply on the matter, “Mother, come to think of it. Chloe’s mate is a rogue, so it was highly possible that he somehow died or
When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed once again. My body felt heavy and weak but as soon as I remembered what happened, my mind suddenly turned blank and an overwhelming fear engulfed me."N-no..." my lips trembled as I hurriedly grabbed my belly. "Doctor!" I scrambled to look at the pack doctor and ask about my child’s condition. “D-doctor, how is my c-child?” My voice trembled. I looked at her fearfully and desperately asked.“Don’t worry, the child is fine Chloe," the doctor saw through my condition and instantly answered. "But you must still be careful. At all times, you must always take a good rest and watch your surroundings. Be careful so that you can protect your unborn child,” the pack doctor said. Then, she carefully explained a lot of things about taking care of my pregnant body. She also reminded me of what else to avoid and do to keep my child away from harm. After a couple minutes of talking, the pack doctor finallg left the room. Before going she emphasized for
Blake’s POVA sneak attack came from behind me. I was unprepared and taken off guard. “Damn it!” I cursed as I felt the sharp pain on my side. Immediately, I knew that I was again injured. But this time, it was more serious. I could feel the poison seeping through my veins. “My lord!” “Lord!” A few warriors shouted around me but I did not pay them any attention. No, in fact, I could not give them any attention because in front of me was the enemy who was injured me. “Look at this. I thought the Lycan King is invincible. Turns out that that was just a rumour?” He sneered at me. “What will you do now? My blade got already got you. Are you prepared to meet the Moon Goddess?” He added before letting out a snort. “Well...” I said as my eyes flashed. “A cold man does not need to know,” I added before I moved. In a blink of an eyes, I managed to approach him and hit his belly with full force. The enemy werewolf was thrown at least two meters away. When he fell on the ground, he let out
The news of my pregnancy slowly spread quickly in the Red Moon Pack. Though it would not require much effort to know about who the culprit of the matter was. I knew exactly who was behind the rumors spreading like wildfire through the Red Moon pack. Vanessa surely did not let me leave her in peace and still did what she wanted. I could see the smug expression on her face as she watched the chaos unfold.On very few times I would go out, I would hear different murmurs about the ‘truth’ about my pregnancy. “Have you heard?” “Of what?” “Apparently Chloe ran back to the pack because she had viciously killed her mate and slept on another rogue!” “Now she and the rogue bore a child! She is pregnant right now!” “Seriously? That Chloe? How promiscuous! She had already been constantly humiliating the pack back then because of her existence, now she had the nerve to come back with a bastard offspring?!” “I know right? The former Alpha is so pitiful! How could he have a daughter like t
The servant seemed to sense the truth in my threat and froze. She let down her hand fearfully and did not dare to flinch anymore. Although her feverish state prevented her from staying focused, her eyes were still filled with vigilance and insecurity. However, I no longer paid heed to her state. As long as she did not resist, I knew that I could carry out my job. “Can you still stand up?” I asked with a cold tone. “You know my condition, so I cannot carry you. Can you go and sit there?” I pointed in the direction of the reclining chair near the window.Although I decided to help her, my body was not capable enough to carry her to the nearby reclining chair. Especially when she still had the tendency to resist. I am afraid that something might happen if I personally helped her to move towards the chair. “I-i can…” The servant’s unfocused eyes looked at the reclining chair and did her best to stand up. Maybe because she was already on the verge of collapse, she staggered and almo
“What did you do to father!” Vanessa looked at father’s condition and shouted angrily at me. It was obvious in her expression that she would surely use this opportunity to oppress me and push the blame on me in front of everyone in the Red Moon Pack. However, that did not matter to me at the moment. I pushed Vanessa away to check my father’s condition. In my mind, the only thing that matters is to know what happened to my father. ‘How could this be?’ I examined his condition and tried to calm myself down. But no matter what I did, it seems like my father's condition gets worse and worse every time.. It makes me feel that I no longer have a way out to help him. “He fell into a coma.” Feeling the accusing and piercing gazes of Lisa and Vanessa, I know that I could only open my mouth and face them. Just like what I have thought, Lisa and Vanessa took this opportunity to accuse me once more. “You are really a heartless woman! This is your plan right, Chloe? To come back here only
As the daughter of the Alpha, I have seen numerous people begging for mercy in order not to be imprisoned. For them, the prison was a place of torture and pain, a place where hell in earth could be found. I could understand them. But instead of fear, I was feeling more cold and indifferent. I looked around the tiny prison cell where I was. The walls of my cell were made of thick stone blocks, and there were no windows to let in any light or fresh air. The only source of light comes from a small hole in the ceiling, which allows a faint beam of the moonlight to filter through.The darkness that surrounded me was making me feel like I was choking, and the only sound I could hear was the occasional dripping of water from the ceiling.But my main concern was the suffocating coldness inside the cell.The coldness during the day could not be compared to the temperature drop in the evening. As I laid on the cold stone floor of my prison cell, I could feel the dampness seeping through my
I bit my lip as I tried to control the trembling of my body. The voice that I love to hear yet does not want to hear keeps ringing in my mind. I looked at the window and sighed bitterly. Blake’s voice could easily stir my emotions like this… What am I supposed to do?His voice was filled with yearning and desperation. A madness to which I might not even be able to resist. After squeezing my hands until my palms were almost wounded by my nails, I took a deep breath and finally answered Blake’s call. “Blake…” I tried to be as calm as possible, so as to not provoke him into intruding on the Red Moon Pack. “Chloe! I knew it! You are here!” As if he could not contain his excitement, Blake’s voice immediately filled my head. But that was only for a few moments, as his next words were filled with anxiousness and caution, “Chloe… I already knew the reason why you left. I just want to ask if I can see you…” “I… I want to see you Chloe… I want us to talk about the matter of detoxifying
ChloeWe stared at the sight in shock and a flash of realization came over us as the puncture on the fog wall rapidly closed up.“As you can see, we can only see the pathway for a few seconds then it will close again…” Alpha Nador calmly exclaimed. Then from his large bag, he revealed a thick rope, heavy and long. “We need to have one person, the most nimble among us to cross the thin pathway. Once he reaches the other side, he has to connect the rope so that all others will be guided. For I can only open the fog wall here on the stable ground. The pathway is so thin that it would crumble once we tried to exert our energies while stepping on it.” Alpha Nador then explained. Then he looked at us, asking with his eyes who among us would be the first to cross the path. “I’ll go…” Blake did not hesitate and immediately answered. “Good!” Alpha Nador said as he tied the rope on Blake’s waist and told him some instructions. Before he went, I held his hand and said in worry, “Be careful
ChloeThere has been a great change at the joint camp these days. After Blake’s last expedition in the Rain Valley, we welcomed the news of a newfound ally.Alpha Nador, the leader of the Rain Valley pack surrendered to Blake in an all-out duel and submitted themselves to his command.While it was not a smooth process of acquiring allies, we managed to pull through and integrate their members into our alliance after ensuring that they all agreed that we would put all hostilities behind us. Just like the Frost Fang pack, the alliance will only last until we have eradicated Alpha Kain’s forces. After that, we will release them to be independent.This condition made the other members of the Rain Valley pack finally put their doubts behind them and fully face our goals head-on.Another thing that made us shocked was the discovery of a hidden association of werewolf packs who were against Alpha Kain’s regime. Because Alpha Nador had recently joined, he also gave us the information about t
BlakeRumble!!!As the thunder and lightning covered the dark expanse of the Rain Valley, so were the attacks being released back and forth. With the explosive blows he had released for quite a long period of exchange, I could not help but admire his might. How could he last for so long maintaining the peak condition of his attacks while also receiving blows from me?“C’mmon… Aren’t you so arrogant to say that you would subdue me and show me what you are made of?” There was a trace of impatience on the Rain Valley Alpha’s tone. “If you are not going to move, then I’ll take that as you admitting your defeat!” With that he gathered all his power and charged once more with another attack.I stood there unmoving, my heart was still contemplating as to why there is a small part of me that was hesitant to take the life of this Alpha. It’s like something from far away… where my hands couldn’t reach, tells me that I have to spare the Rain Valley Pack!However, in the utterly muddy and rain
BlakeCaleb noticed the person a second too late, and so despite his preparation the angle where the opponent is coming from will surely deal a great amount of damage to him. My face darkened as I realized this, without thinking further I used Eron’s power to rush in the attacker’s position to impede his attack.Boom!!As I brandished my fist to meet the large body of the opponent and the impact caused a sudden gust of the wind throwing off everyone in the battlefield. “Alpha…” Caleb realized what had happened when the pain he was anticipating did not land on his body. He looked at me wide eyed as he did not expect me to intercept the attacker’s movement while coming from a distance. “Don’t mind me… rally the troops and handle the rest! I’ll take this one!” I instructed. Surprisingly and for the first time, I saw no trace of resistance and stiffness on Caleb’s face as he nodded and obeyed my command. Welcoming the new development, I was relieved to take this position as I know t
BlakeWith that everyone took their own places and readjusted. After that, I called for Idriss and Caleb to assemble them after an hour to check of their temperaments. Even as the temporary alpha of this team, I could feel the state of their being just by looking at their countenance. While it seemed like everything was according to Caleb and Idris’s plans by far, we cannot let our guards down and cause a fatal error to the mission. To my relief, all seemed to come back to their peak state when they regrouped after an hour. Going with it was the night finally ripening even as the rain continued to fall unceasingly. As the heavy droplets of water poured down endlessly on the valley the forest became pitch black and the ground became muddier the longer we traversed in it. There’s no other silence but the incessant rain and there’s no other obstacle but the cruel terrain. Even so all of us silently pressed forward having to come here with a mission at hand. Soon the first teams re
Blake The entire barracks went silent momentarily, but the sound of cheers came right after. To the members of the alliance, the presence of one leader will empower them as they go on a dangerous mission. Idris was calm but his eyes looked at me with appreciation. However, Caleb still had a frozen look on his face.As for me, his attitude isn't something I mind, unless provokes me by making a move on Chloe.As for his loyalty, I know that he wouldn't betray the alliance so I left it like that.Having announced my decision I left the briefing on Caleb and Idris, letting them know that while I said that I will join the expedition, it will not cause a change on the plans the two have already set."Tonight, we will set off to the target alliance that we have on our list…" It was Caleb who did the honors in introducing the target to everyone. "...Living on the far west from the Blood Hound Pack, the Rain Valley Pack is the last pack that we have to take on for the second phase of our
BlakeAs soon as I uttered those words, Chloe’s body froze momentarily in surprise. The next moment she gave a light hearted chuckle and sunk into my embrace. Her response was fully welcomed by every bit of my being. Like we are each other’s fountain of life, we stayed like that for a little while. I looked down and took a good look at my mate’s face once more. Caressing the side of her face, my heart felt the piercing pain of seeing how exhausted she was as she pushed herself in deciphering the poison.“I heard from your student and Arthur that you have not gone out since taking the poison from my sickbed? Why do you torture your body this much?” I uttered in helpless pain. But when I was expecting for her to give me a rather serious explanation, I was blown away when I saw my mate pout adorably as she replied back, “What goes the same to you, aint it?” My heart felt like it was going to drop. For I am not prepared to be attacked in such a way. Her eyes looked at me as she contin
Blake“There you go… All done!” Arthur clapped his hands as he took the casts and bandages in my body. After two days of recovering, my body is finally ready to move normally. Thanks to the combined efforts of Arthur and Chloe, developing a potion that could repair broken bones, I was able to come back in tip-top shape in less than a week even with the heavy injuries that I had. “What’s your plans today?” Arthur cast a curious look on me as he tidied up his things and prepared to go to Chloe’s laboratory.“I was thinking of visiting your lab to see Chloe... But looking at your countenance these days, it seems like everything isn’t going well?” I replied. “Sigh… it is as you said… I’ve even contacted Father to take a look at it because it seems like we were not even close to deciphering a layer of it…” Arthur brushed his head while lamenting over the matter of the poison. “It’s only been two days… don’t pressure yourself too much,” I replied. “I know man…. But we cannot afford tha
Chloe“Made by Uncle Gauss?” My entire body trembled when I heard his name and the words that Blake said. In my hands, the very poison used by my uncle to kill Dad. The very poison I was not able to successfully save my father from. And even after his death and after five years of relentlessly searching, there was still no clue as to what could counter this poison at all. This very poison was one of the two poisons I promised myself to defeat, the other being the one that infected me and Aurora. “Chloe… you good?” Arthur called out softly as the two of them noticed that I fell in a daze the moment I heard the information from Blake. “No, I’m fine… it’s just that, I did not expect that I would have to encounter this poison when I am still unable to find out how to counter it.” For the first time in the last five years, I openly told someone that I was unable to guarantee that I could deal with this poison in front of me. “Don’t worry, we’ll help you. Esha is also a good child you
