Everyone looked at me in astonishment. "Ah? She didn't know--?" The girl beside me started to ask before her friend elbowed her, signaling her to stop. The garden was suddenly filled with awkwardness."Come on! What's with the atmosphere?" Carrie, who was surprisingly holding a glass of wine in each of her hands, stood up. "We are all here to relax and play. Come on! Everyone grab a glass of wine!" She said cheerfully while winking at the crowd. After receiving Carrie's instruction, everyone started grabbing a glass of wine. "T-that's right! Let's go and get wasted!" Their reactions seemed a bit forced at first. But after a soft while, the place was again filled with laughter and merriment."It's the night to get drunk!" They cheered, completely lifting up the atmosphere. 'Oh,' I thought before awkwardly grabbing my own glass of wine. 'It seems like they don't want to answer my question.' Slightly frowning, I started sipping the wine. The night went on and I became immersed in the
I looked at Blake who was also looking at me with a serious expression. There was no surprise in his eyes even though I told him that I wanted to return with him to the Red Moon Pack. Instead, he was calm and looked like he was in deep thought. I nibbled my bottom lip, wondering what he was thinking. For a few seconds, he did not say anything, slightly making me feel worried. Blake slightly furrowed his brows before letting out a sigh. Then, gave me a little smile and told me with a gentle voice, "Alright." It was the answer that I was hoping for. I let out a dramatic sigh of relief. Black saw my action and tapped the tip of my nose. "You can come with me. Don't worry, I will take care of you. No matter what happens," he spoke like a whisper of promise that came straight in my heart. A promise that he would protect me and that he would not allow the previous situation to happen. I immediately felt warm in my heart as a smile bloomed on my lips. A thought flashed in my mind. "I ca
The Red Moon Pack was crowded. The inauguration ceremony for Vanessa would be held tomorrow but people from the different packs already arrived to attend the inauguration party. Though with a look, one could already tell that some of them were there not to attend Vanessa's inauguration party. They were there to meet the mysterious Lycan King and see his true face!"Greetings, Lycan King and guests from the Silver Pack," a servant that I knew immediately came and greeted us. My eyes flashed. He was one of those who used to previously bully me. "This way, follow me please," the servant bowed and gestured with his hands. He looked nervous and very respectful, completely opposite to how he treated me before. I started feeling awkward. A few minutes later, we arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall. It was already filled by the members of the Red Moon Pack. The moment we arrived, everyone's gaze fell on us. Most of them were focused on Blake who stood in front of us. But there were
“Hey,” Allan called me.I stood there frozen. Many thoughts immediately filled my mind but I was unsure what to do. I started feeling nervous. 'What is he doing here?' Alan became impatient after not receiving a reply for a long time. "Turn around and explain what you are doing here." This time, his voice sounded forceful. I heard his footsteps approaching. I did not dare make a sound. The moment I say anything, Alan would immediately recognize me. The room was filled with tension. Suddenly, another person appeared. Then, I heard another familiar voice. "Alan Meyer," the person said. It was Arthur! I secretly let out a sigh of relief.Alan turned and stared at Arthur suspiciously. Immediately, he turned his focus from me to Arthur. Arthur ignored him and stood in front of me, blocking me from his sight. "This person is a Beta of the Silver pack. Show respect!" Arthur confronted him. "She deserves to be treated highly... although she is a bit dumb!" Arthur added, making my face
I hid at the corner of the room and panicked. Beside me, Arthur started to sweat. Both of us stayed still and did not dare move. The sound of the door opening never been so clear. Then, it was followed by a set of footsteps that became more and more clear by each passing second. It could only mean one thing... the person was walking closer and closer towards our direction! I felt a thump in my chest. A few more seconds later, I realized something that made me even more nervous and afraid... The sounds of the footsteps were very similar...My hands broke into sweat. I could no longer hold it in, as quietly as I could be, I took a peek at through the gap to make sure who came into the poison room. When I saw him, my entire body froze.It’s father!I looked at him and a cold sweats started dripping down my spine. Compared to when I saw him during the banquet, I was much closer to him... close enough to see that the hairs on his temply was much grayer. I gripped the hem of my shirt.
I stared at the injured beta and started to feel anxious. I stepped forward subconsciously. Thankfully, Arthur grabbed me by the arm. "Chloe, what are you doing?" He whispered before pulling me back.I stepped back dumbly, but my heart was very nervous.The entire banquet hall was filled with discussions. Alan immediately walked towards my father who remained composed despite the situation."I apologize, everyone. We have a bit of a situation, but it will be handled accordingly," my father calmly said. "This kind of thing didn't happen before. But it's just a small matter. I will go and resolve it before returning to join you here," he added before leaving the banquet hall. Alan was following behind him.In the main seat, Vanessa and Lisa looked worried but tried to keep their polite smiles in front of everyone. I looked at Blake. He was still sitting there, looking calm and composed, as if he predicted that something like this would happen.'Could this be caused by Blake?' I thought
I looked up and squinted as the sun brightly shone in the sky. It was a good day, and the Red Moon Pack was bustling."I'm so excited! The inauguration ceremony is about to start!""Me too! I can't wait until Vanessa becomes our new alpha!"The members of the pack gossiped as I passed by. Everyone was in a great mood as they happily awaited the start of the inauguration ceremony. I tried to tune them out, but when I heard my name, I could not help but listen intently."Our pack's future is very bright! Thank goodness our Alpha didn't choose Chloe, that useless daughter, to be our next alpha," I heard the maid who was carrying some cleaning supplies said. Beside her was another maid who was carrying a big bucket."You're right! The Alpha is thinking for the sake of our future," the other maid replied. "Anyway... do you have news on what happened to Chloe? We didn't hear anything about her ever since she left the pack," she added, sounding curious."Why are you even asking? There's a hi
My father looked at Blake with meaningful eyes. The entire hall fell into deafening silence. All of us were looking at Blake, some of the members of the other packs looked convinced and were nodding their heads in agreement. Some of the members of the Red Moon Pack had ghastly and fearful faces, while the others, like Alan, were looking at Blake with rage."You...! What did you just say? How dare you openly threaten us!" Alan yelled as he started to step forward Blake, ready to start a fight. My father grabbed his arm before he could take a step."Stop," father ordered with an authoritative voice. Alan's eyes widened with surprise. He could not believe my father just stopped him."But Alpha--" He started to protest but my father raised a hand and cut him off. Alan's face turned from white to red. He pressed his lips together and glared at Blake instead.Seeing that Alan stood down, my father turned to Blake before saying, "I will find the murderer within three days." Only a few minu
