Chapter 35
Blake’s POV
When the night came, I headed on my way to meet that person.
As the cold wind blew over my body, I could not help but think about the things I have gained after
leaving my pack's territory.
In the past, I was never interested in going out of the Silver Pack and roaming around to see things. If
not for my people being poisoned, I would have not even thought of stepping out of my territory to find
the culprit.
The first time I arrived in the Red Moon Pack, the first impression I had was disgust and apathy
towards the members of this place.
The people here were self-centered and blind, only looking at the things that would benefit them. It was
truly disgusting to see this kind of pack.
I never in the slightest wanted to mingle myself with the Red Moon Pack. But I had no choice since I
wanted to investigate the perpetrators of pack’s poisoning.
'After returning here for the second time, the members of this pack still did not give me a good
impression,' I thought coldly.
‘But to think about it, the trip this time is actually rewarding…’ I thought as my eyes roamed around the
Red Moon Pack.
Of course, the most important outcome of this trip was finally resolving my worry of Chloe having to
choose whether she wanted to stay in the Red Moon Pack or be with me in the Silver Pack.
In fact, I have been struggling, trying to think of ways on how to convince Chloe to no longer look back
and just stay with me… but after that talk she had with her father, it seemed that Chloe had finally
made her choice.
When Chloe told me that she wanted to return to the Silver Pack after delivering the antidote to her
father, I instantly understood. Chloe decided to be with me as the Luna of the Silver Pack.
It was the decision that I had been wanting… but how could I be happy when I saw Chloe's
heartbreaking expression?
I could not bear to see her sad.
When she proposed for us to roam around the red pack moon, I dutifully stayed beside her and
supported her, so that she would have a peaceful time.
That night, when we visited each and every corner of the Red Moon Pack, I could see that Chloe was
saying her final farewells to the place she treated as home, the same place that taunted her and made
her feel unwelcome for many years.
She faithfully said her goodbye to the pack, but this afternoon while we were in the poison house with
Dean Bake, I saw the flicker of last hope in her eyes when my usually quiet mate did not hold back and
asked her father the difficult, confrontational questions that she was hiding in her heart.
Unfortunately, Chloe was only filled with disappointment after hearing his answers. But what Chloe did
not know was that even though her father's words managed to hurt her deeply… there are actually
some things that she was still not aware of.
Reaching to the agreed spot, I heard the footsteps behind me and greeted, “You are here…”
I faced the other party who had just arrived.
“Should I call you King Bluke or King Blake?” He asked with a smile.
Hearing his question, I returned a smile and took off my mask, revealing my identity.
“As expected of the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack! Your perception is good. Have you discovered my
identity the moment I showed up here?” I asked with a hint of probing in my tone, looking at the person
in front of me, Dean Baker, Chloe’s father and the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack.
Dean Baker did not change his expression that much as he answered in all seriousness, “To be precise
as early as the very first time you entered the Red Moon Pack while disguised as a rogue, I already
have a good guess about your identity. Your appearance this time around has just confirmed my
suspicion.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
I was slightly surprised by his answer but then another question popped up in my mind, “In that case,
why did you ask your two daughters to exchange mates in the first place? Since you are set to have
your younger daughter become the Alpha, I do not understand your decision to exchange their
partners.”
Dean Baker sighed upon hearing my question, the ripple in his eyes revealed helplessness as he
answered, “I have already known about the fact of Alan and Vanessa’s betrayal of Chloe…”
But after saying these words… he paused for a long while before continuing, “In any case, I hope you
never let Chloe go back to the Red Moon Pack again, King Blake of the Silver Pack.”
“I understand that… but can I take that as you want to protect Chloe?” My eyes squinted as I studied
his expression while I waited for the answer.
However, Dean Baker only remained silent and did not confirm nor deny my question.
“Did you know that your younger daughter has been cured and no longer needs Chloe’s blood for a
long time?” I pressed on, not satisfied by the way Dean Baker was keeping things vague.
His body flinched in surprise and shook his head in self-blame, “I only knew about it when Chloe
disappeared. But even though Vannessa lied, I have no choice but to silently accept it. She was the
only heir of our pack and I could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know anything.”
“You are a cruel father… to Chloe.” Like a judge pronouncing my verdict, I sneered at Dean Baker’s
cowardly remorseful expression.
“Why must you insist on having that younger daughter lead your pack instead, you should have known
at this moment that Chloe’s wolf has awakened…” I continued to probe.
Dean Baker fell into a deep thought before he finally said, “I hope her wolf would not wake up at all.
Because it is only when her wolf remains dormant that she is safest.”
“What do you mean?” Confused by his words, I did not spare any intent of cordiality and directly
pressed the matter.
Unfortunately, Dean Baker did not want to continue explaining and only replied, “I hope that you won’t
tell anything about our meeting to Chloe… I can only ask you to keep her safe and in the future, do not
let her return here in the Red Moon Pack."
"As much as possible… please keep her far away from here…” Alpha Dean pleaded. At that moment,
he looked like a father who was begging for his daughter's life.
I did not understand his reason, but keeping Chloe safe was also my main priority. Thus, I nodded in
agreement.
After seeing my response, Dean Baker directly turned around and walked away.
As I watched his solitary back while he disappeared in his forest. Somehow, I could not help but feel a
sense of pity towards him.
Dean Baker, a renowned Alpha. A high spirited and well reputed werewolf. But there were times when
he, as an Alpha, also had no choice. Worst thing was, he may have been going between choosing to
become a good father or a good leader of his pack.
‘Regardless of what has been said, I do agree that Chloe has to never be involved in the disputes
between the Red Moon Pack and their enemies.’ I likewise started heading back.
'But what does when he said that it is best for Chloe to have her wolf remain unawaken?' I thought as
my eyes flashed with a strange glint.
