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
Looking at my Alpha father stood on the stage, I heaved a deep sigh over my tortuous fate.Today was the day he announced his successor to the pack. As the eldest, I should be the one who inherited his Alpha title. It was not me... but my half-sister, Vanessa Baker.“From today onwards, my daughter, Vanessa Baker, will be the Alpha of Red Moon Pack!” My father raised Vanessa’s hand and announced to everyone.Howls and cheers erupted all around. All the guests’ gaze fell on Vanessa who wore a shiny golden silk dress.No one noticed that I sat in the corner with numbness. Tonight was a wonderful night for them all.Except for me...It was just an extraordinary day for me. Besides seeing my father give me up, today was actually my 19th birthday.But the weak didn't deserve attention. I learned that from my father.I had been born prematurely, my mother died when she was giving birth to me.I believed it was the reason why I was so powerless. I felt my wolf’s presence at fourteen, and tri
“Exchange… my mate?” My eyes widened with shock as I stared at my father.“Don’t you agree?” Father squinted his eyes and continued, “Chloe, you’re the eldest child in our family, don’t be selfish! You need to put the pack’s reputation first! Got it?”I could not believe that the only time my father willingly acknowledged my identity as his eldest daughter was because he wanted to take my mate away from me.I felt cold, like fell into endless abyss, more bleak dark! I turned to look at Vanessa, who was calm and kept smiling. It was clear that she had expected this.It turned out that this was the revenge she had planned for me. She would take away my only hope in this world—Alan.Alan was all I had!If he was taken away from me, I would truly be left with nothing.I bit my lip hard and tried my best to suppress the anger. I would not give Alan up anyhow.I had to stick up for myself this time!“Father…” I clenched my fists and screwed up enough courage to say, “I’m willing to sacrific
My heart clenched tightly and I could hardly breath. I held my chest, trying desperately to quell the suffocating feeling.I wanted to say something to stop them, but my throat had been stuffed with cotton, sucking up every ounce of moisture. I could not get any words out and could only watch them with tears streaming down my face.“A...Alan... Harder! I feel so good. Ah! Fuck me harder!” Vanessa kept moaning, kissing Alan's neck. “Darling, tell me, do you love me?”“Of course!” Alan answered without any hesitation. He was so indulging their sexual proclivities that he had not even noticed my presence.That was not sense...He should have detected my scent as my mate!“If you had to pick between me and Chloe, who would you choose?” Vanessa asked in a sweet voice, her chin resting on Alan’s shoulder as she panted.At the same time, she cast me a smug, provocative look.She had already noticed my presence.Ruined my only hope was her ultimate motive.“You, of course you. I love you the m
A red blinding rage coursing through my veins as Vanessa tugged me toward father’s conference room.I struggled to free myself but failed. Vanessa’s aura was so powerful that it almost pushed me back. “Don’t you dare resist me! You worthless cunt!” she warned me in a low tone, and her hand gripped my tiny neck. She didn’t loosen her grip until saw my face turned pale. Then she pushed me into the conference room.The bright lights inside were a bit too harsh and made my eyes blur. I blinked my eyes continuously and saw my father sit in gloomy silence. Lisa was next to him.I also saw that Alan and the man I had saved last time, the man who was meant to be Vanessa’s mate.The moment the door opened, they were looking at me. Vanessa couldn’t stand for Alan to spare another second on me. She ran up to him and hugged his arm close.I shifted my gaze from them over to my father, awaiting his instructions. I had to obey his orders no matter what he asked.My life was enough terrible and th
I looked at Blake in bewilderment. My mind came up blank, and I thought that I had misheard him.But Blake's stern expression and earnest tone told me that it was all true."Don’t kid me." I lowered my head and crooked my fingers nervously. "I know you marked me just to pay my father and thank me for saving you... I won't force you to stay with me. Once you meet someone you like, we can break our bond. I...""Break our mate bond?" Blake interrupted and shot an angry glance at me."Yes…" I lowered my voice unconsciously and said while trembling, "I won’t interfere in your pursuit of love."I fixed my eyes on my shoes as I awaited Blake's answer.But I did not get any response for a long while. I looked up at him with a puzzled frown and met his icy gaze."You want to break our bond?"After being silent for a long while, he repeated his words once more. His tone was as cold as ice and I was shaken."No! I’m not the one who wants to break it." I shook my head anxiously.Did this man ha
My mind was dazed before I recognized what was happening. I almost fell onto the ground as my body trembling vehemently.Why? Father had accepted Blake into the pack and promised he would treat us well.What on earth had happened?“Where are they?” I asked anxiously.One of the maids rolled her eyes at me and mocked, “Why the hell would we tell you?”“Leave away from us! We’re busy with work! We don’t have time to…”“Damn! Just tell me where they are right now!” I blurt out in sudden rage, and my eyes constricted with anger.My roar frightened them. They cringed and stammered, “They… they’re in the basement.”Something pierced through my chest while their response rang in my ears. I gritted my teeth and ran to the basement without looking back. I could still hear the two maids whispering with each other behind me.“What the hell? Why’d she get so intimidating all of a sudden?”“Tsk…Did you see that? I saw something horrible flashed in her eyes…”The maids’ voices faded as the distanc
“Save me, Chloe…”Blake lay in blood and bound by cold iron chains all around him. He reached out to me, begging me to pull him out of the abyss.I wanted to save him...I didn’t want him to die!But there were countless hands pulled my clothes, and my hair…They wouldn’t leave me alone and kept pulling me backward.“Blake!” I screamed, unable to get close to him.Tears streamed down my face, and anxiety filled my heart.Suddenly, the iron chains around Blake tugged him down into the bottomless abyss.“Blake!” I yelled and opened my eyes. I breathed heavily, sweat soaking through the sheets. My heart beat faster and my body get tense. I snapped back to my senses and realized that it was a nightmare.Five days have passed since Blake was banished and I was forced to give Vanessa my blood. I had spent most of my time lying in bed. I refused to eat anything nor speak with anyone. My father tried summoning me to see him, but I ignored everything he said.I no longer wanted to please anyo
