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
With Alan requesting rather carefully, I dazedly followed him out. We expertly moved in such a way that no one in the pack would notice, not even Vanessa’s secret warriors stationed randomly across the pack territory. ‘It seems like Alan really was the best sentry of the Red Moon Pack…’ I could not help but be amazed by his ways. As we went further and further, my heart started to have a guess about who would be the person we would meet. But because we were already at this point, it would become more complicated for me if I caused a commotion at this moment and refused to continue. For the sake of not having Vanessa know that I am with her mate and strongest sentry, I looked ahead and clenched my fist. Ahead was a hotel situated a few kilometers outside the Red Moon Pack which is in a small human town. My heart kept pounding as I stared straight ahead. I know who was waiting for me there.“We are here… Chloe…” Alan took a deep breath and looked at me reluctantly. There was a hi
Blake's POVIt was as if someone had plunged a dagger into my chest and twisted it mercilessly, leaving me breathless and aching. No… it was like someone took a knife and plunged it in my chest a thousand, no, a million times. I looked at the closed door and my shoulders started to shake. As I watched Chloe… my beloved mate, walked away from me, my heart shattered into a million pieces. At that moment, I suddenly experienced pain that was indescribable. My heart that has been mercilessly shattered into a million tiny pieces created many and each fragment was gouging my insides. The agony is unrelenting, an incessant throb that seems to be endless.I thought that I had experienced pain… a heartbreak before. But as I stood there, looking at the door that Chloe closer, I felt something that was beyond anything I ever imagined… Still, my mouth remained mum and my body motionless. I did not have the courage to go after Chloe and stop her from leaving.Chloe… she is my mate, my world, m
I stormed back to my room, my heart pounding with anger and frustration. Tears streamed down my face as I collapsed onto my bed, burying my face in my pillow."Blake…" I whispered his name while my heart was pounding hard in my chest. After a long time, I finally saw his face. When I saw him, my heart instantly shook. He looked different. He was thinner and paler, and in his eyes were the shadow of pain that could not be described. He looked so hurt.I bit my lips and my shoulders shook.I could not believe it. I lied to him. I lied to Blake. The man who had once been my everything. My mate who showed me love and home meant..I could not hold back the tears. They flowed freely down my face as I clutched my chest. It hurt so much, seeing him like that. So broken and hurt. And I was the one responsible.I did not want to hurt him. I never did. But I had no choice. I had to leave Blake and make me accept our situation. Even if it meant lying to the man I loved.I curled up into a bal
I looked at Vanessa and replied sternly, “As the Alpha, can you just put away your waywardness? Otherwise you will ruin the entire red moon pack!“And what makes you think that you could lecture me, the Alpha like that, huh? Chloe!” Vanessa retorted back, refusing to be outdone. “I, as the Alpha, had the final say on what would be happening to the pack!” She raised her head and stood up looking toward me so proudly. “Heh… Now you are openly and proudly declaring such a thing when you did a poor job in solving the border crisis and the rest of the pack’s business dealings?” I knew that if I didn't say my piece, Vanessa would not stop at anything. I looked at her and listed all her shortcomings as she stood there unable to understand why I am saying these things to her out loud. “For several times, you have already put the entire pack in danger because of your carelessness. If not for Father holding the fort and your sentry cleaning up your mess, the pack should have been long gone
“You! How could you converse with the Alpha in such a way!” Vanessa looked at the three of us and could not believe what was happening. She looked at Alpha Anon who did not appear to be intimidated but was actually also thinking about the decision.Even so none of us bothered to accommodate her actions. Father, Alpha Anon and I were all busy thinking about how we can go about the conversation. Back in the Silver pack, I used to hear some stuff that could only be heart at the level of the Alpha. Blake never minded that I would hear their conversations whenever I visited his office back then and so I have heard a good few things about the South Dew Pack. Just like our Red Moon Pack, the South Dew Pack led by Alpha Anon was an established pack that specialized in agility. If the Red Moon Pack is an expert on poison, they are known to be the top in agility. Although they were not like the Silver Pack who is undoubtedly the strongest and mysterious, the other packs rather want to have
After the conversation, I took Father to his room to check his condition. Lisa and Vanessa were also there, unwilling to leave their father in that state. I sighed in my heart as I saw their reactions. It really seems that their concern and affection toward their father was real. The only bitter thing was that, in the family they have in their minds, I was not considered a member.While I dutifully checked my father's condition and tucked him in his bed, no one in the room said anything. After ensuring that my father's condition stabilized, I quietly excused myself in the room and headed toward my own room to retire for the tiring day. “You must be gloating right now, are you Chloe?” Vanessa’s voice rang on my back as soon as I left the floor where my father is staying. “What makes you think that I am like that?” The long day and the dread about my father’s deteriorating condition is already giving me a headache, but Vanessa still wanted to test my limits with her hostile attit
