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
“Father…” As I went as fast as I could, I met my father’s pale face and came to his side. My heart sank, seeing his condition but I still flashed a calm smile. “Chloe… seeing you these days… it reminds me a lot of your mother.” Father looked at me with a nostalgic expression as his eyes seemed to have been reliving something in his memory. “Mother… what did she look like back then?” I held my father’s hand and asked a question that had always been in my mind. I have no memory of my mother and there’s no one in the pack that could even tell me what she was like when she was alive. Perhaps, it would only be Father who could tell me those things, so I asked it without thinking much. “Your mother… back then she had the same disposition as you right now. She is always calm and collected. She is courageous but also knows restraint.” “Although she is feisty on the inside, her knowledge is vast and deep. She also helps whenever she could, that made her a very fine luna back then… with h
Blake's POVMy head is buzzing as I rush back to the pack while Chloe’s words ring on my mind repeatedly. Part of me felt guilty and remorseful for letting her feel that way toward our pack.Perhaps, I have been blinded by the fact that none of those hypocrites in the Red Moon Pack would hurt her, that is why it never crossed my mind that she would also suffer great pressure to become the Luna everyone wanted.Another part of me, however, wants to ignore her feelings and drag her back to the pack. I want to no longer think about anything and focus on getting her to my side. This part of me scares me the most, but I also could not deny that it is what I truly wanted. The mess inside of me continued until I found myself already arriving in front of the Silver Pack. “Big brother!” Carrie rushed toward me in a warm embrace but she immediately let go while she was behind me. “Big Brother, did you find Chloe? Why is she not back? Everyone in the pack misses her so much…” Carrie blinked
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
