Chloe’s POV The news of my father's demise spread like wildfire through the packs, leaving a trail of sorrow in its wake. It seemed as though the very air carried the weight of the loss, dampening the spirits of all who heard.Each and every members of the Red Moon Pack mourned. Surprisingly, Vanessa spared no effort in ensuring that the funeral was a grand affair. She took charge and orchestrated a funeral befitting my father's stature. Every detail was meticulously planned. I silently stood before the casket that held my father's lifeless body, a torrent of emotions surged within me. My chest clenched tightly and I could hardly breath. Inside, my heart was very heavy with sorrow. “You look like you are at peace,” I whispered softly as I touched the casket where my father was laid. In the past, my father was like a tall mountain. No matter what the situation was, he stood proudly and was filled with power. He held my life in his hand, and I could only helplessly follow him. The
The period of mourning finally came to an end, but everyone in the pack is still reluctant to bid goodbye to my father. These days, if not for the pack doctor’s reminder to keep my emotions in check, I would have a hard time surviving through the first trimester of my pregnancy. “Baby… I’m sorry… mommy is careless.” I looked out the window and caressed my womb with a wave of guilt in my heart. Even so, the sorrow of my father’s passing is not something easy to bear. Besides, the atmosphere outside has been increasingly dangerous lately. The Alpha’s of the other packs continued to push their own agenda towards Vanessa, taking advantage of her grief and anxiousness. Last time I talked with Lisa, I tried dropping hints to her but I am not sure if it was effective, as Vanessa is still as careless as she could be in dealing with these greedy Alphas. Knock Knock!Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by the knocks on the door. “Lady Chloe, it’s time.” The servant, who for some reaso
I looked at the taunting Alphas coldly, but my word of warning was taken as a joke. “Hahaha! Look, the wolfless daughter dared to threaten us!” Another Alpha taunted. “Well, she is better than the daughter who became the Alpha, she really did not even get suspicious about us till the end!” “Ahahaha!” The Alphas laughed as they looked at Vanessa and I with mockery on their faces. I took a quick glance at Vanesssa and the rest of the warriors and they were all not looking good. Perhaps, it was because this was the very first time that they faced blatant mockery. Unfortunately, the moment father was buried, the respect and reverence for our Red Moon Pack had also expired. As for me, I lived half of my life in oppression and endless despise by my own pack, so seeing strangers acting like this toward me is no longer a new thing. That is why I still remained calm as I swept through the crowd and saw a familiar figure. “Alpha Anon, it seems like you no longer need the ‘thing’ we agre
As soon as the announcement was given the burial site froze in silence and everyone was not able to react immediately. When the mysterious figures in the bloodied silver hooded capes drew closer, I realized that they were familiar. Although they wore masks on their faces I immediately recognized who they were.‘It must be Lyra and Arthur…’ I thought as my eyes moved at the distant figure right beside them. Wearing the same silver hooded cape decorated with splashes of blood and a silver mask cover, I stared at Blake who was coming closer as he casually threw a lifeless wolf from the side. “I heard that the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack is being buried today… but why does it seem like several Alphas were moving to bury the entire pack with him all the way?” Blake’s cold voice rang in the burial site. As he talked, he released his Lycan King’s aura making the hostile Alphas and warriors stagger and pause.Then he moved his hands to wipe the blood stains out of it as he continued, “Ther
After the farce, I did not know how I managed to get back to the pack house. I found myself in the midst of witnessing Vanessa’s outburst as she practically dragged me back to the Alpha’s study. In the room there was a heavy silence, with Vanessa in front, the nervous Lisa, Alan who is basically opposed to being part of the conversation due to having to oversee the aftermath of the farce with the Alpha, and finally Blake who only looked at me without saying a word. Vanessa’s entire body was trembling and the anger on her face had already made her face flush in red. Looking at me sharply, she was trying to control her outburst as she asked, “Did you know about this, Chloe?” “Of course… how would I not?” I looked her straight in the eye and answered without sugar coating my words. “Yet you dare to deceive me?!” Vanessa raised her brows and questioned once more. However, she seemed to have realized something as her face suddenly froze as she mumbled, “Then during the inaugural c
Blake's POV“Lycan King Blake, your Luna came back to the red moon pack pregnant, yet why did I not see you coming to us to take her back at once?!”'What did she say?' I froze, my entire being shackled by an icy grip, rendering me motionless in the face of this incredulous revelation. It was as if the world had turned to stone, freezing the very essence of my existence. For the first time, I seemed to have crashed down. Never before had my mind been so bereft, a barren wasteland where thoughts dared not venture.The words hung in the air, like a suspended melody that refused to resolve. They swirled in the hollow caverns of my consciousness, echoing wildly in my mind and defied comprehension. ‘No… could it be my imagination?’ I thought to myself. Those words… they were like a twisted mirage, a phantom whisper conjured by the capricious whims of my imagination? ‘Ya, hah! Surely, my ears had deceived me,’ I started to say.Yet, as the weight of those words settled upon my soul, doub
Chloe’s POV The room froze upon Blake’s declaration. I heard Blake's words, and for a fleeting moment, time stood still. Blake, despite everything we had been through, still held on to his belief in me. His unwavering faith in my character shook me to the core. His faith in me was unchanging, and despite all the pain and difficulties I brought to him, still chose to believe in me. I had left him… caused him pain… I kept the truth about our child hidden from him… yet he still chose to believe in me. Despite everything I did to him, when he saw that I was in an unfavorable position, his first reaction was to……protect me. A surge of conflicting emotions washed over me, mingling guilt and gratitude. Ever since we recognized each other, all he did was for me. And I have been selfish towards him. Yet despite my actions, he acted on his instinct to protect me, to shield me from harm. Suddenly, I felt my eyes turn warm. The weight of Blake’s unwavering love and support bore down on m
The room fell into an eerie stillness, the silence only magnifying the tension that hung in the air. Blake, who had remained quiet throughout, stood there with an imposing presence. An unsettling shift occurred as his aura grew increasingly oppressive, emanating a destructive energy that seemed to permeate the space.Alan's expression changed in response, a flicker of concern crossing his face. Reacting instinctively, he swiftly positioned himself in front of Vanessa, a clear gesture of protection. It was evident that he understood the power Blake possessed and sought to shield Vanessa from any harm.Blake's gaze met Alan's defensive stance, and a subtle smirk curved upon his lips. It was a display of arrogance, as if he viewed Alan as nothing more than a trivial insect in his path. The unspoken message was clear – Alan's efforts to shield Vanessa would be futile against Blake's formidable strength.Vanessa's complexion paled further, her features betraying a mix of fear and apprehens
