Chapter 33
I came out of my father's room with a heavy feeling. Cold wind blew on my face, making me shiver. It
was already late and the weather was rather chilly.
I looked around and saw that apart from me, no one else was outside, making the place cold and
empty… " Like the feelings that I had in my heart," I softly muttered before I let out a bitter laugh.
Then, like a faucet that was twisted open, tears started to blur my eyes. Thinking of my father's words, I
felt an overwhelming bitterness fill my heart.
After a short while, I heard footsteps approaching me. I hurriedly wiped away my tears and tried to calm
down.
A few seconds later, Vanessa and Alan appeared and were walking towards my father's room. They
were the people I least wanted to see, especially at that moment. Thus, I nodded at them politely
before turning to leave, trying not to have any more contact with them.
"Wait!" Suddenly, I heard Vanessa say. I froze before an ominous feeling suddenly appeared in my
heart.
"What's your name?" Vanessa asked me with a rather cold voice. Trying to act cool, I stared at her and
did not say anything. Then, I shook my head and pretended to be dumb.
"Why aren't you talking? I heard you talk before..." Vanessa continued to question me. I lowered my
head and my hands broke into cold sweat. Vanessa looked at me suspiciously.
"Somehow, you feel very familiar... Why don't you take off your mask so we could see your face?" She
asked with narrowed eyes.
I stiffened and my hands shook slightly. 'Does she know something?' I thought nervously. I remained
unmoved even though inside my chest, the feeling of panic started to emerge.
An impatient look appeared on Vanessa's face. Then, she suddenly moved.
Without my permission, she quickly approached me and stretched her hands... she clearly wanted to
take off my mask!
I did not know what to do. My mind turned blank and my body froze on the spot. Thankfully, before she
could touch my mask, Alan grabbed her hand. Vanessa looked at Alan with surprise.
"Stop it," Alan explained with a cold voice. "She is a distinguished guest from the Silver Pack. Their
pack is known to seriously value their privacy. It will cause us serious trouble if her King finds out that
you tried to take off her mask," Alan added.
Vanessa, who was told off, pouted. Alan narrowed his eyes at her before saying, "Let's go. We need to
visit the alpha as soon as possible."
Vanessa's brows furrowed. But finally, she decided to give up. Without waiting for another second, Alan
grabbed Vanessa's hand and pulled her away.
I let out a sigh of relief as I watched them leave. Surprisingly, after a couple of steps later, Alan
suddenly looked back at me with unfathomable eyes.
But I didn't have the strength to think anymore.
I returned to my room, feeling exhausted. Inside, Blake was waiting for me. He watched me as I
entered and remained silent. I did not say anything, but Blake seemed to know what I was feeling. He
let out a sigh before standing up and pouring me a glass of water.
I took the water that Blake gave me. It was warm, the heat of the glass transferred to the palm of my
hand, making me feel less cold. I bowed my head and remained silent for a long time. Blake stood
beside me, silently accompanying me as I tried my best to process through my difficult emotions.
After a while, I looked back at Blake, there was a bright smile on my face. "After three day, let's go back
to the Silver Pack," my voice broke despite trying to sound cheerful. Blake, who definitely heard it, did
not say anything. Instead, he put an arm behind me and started to stroke my back gently.
"Alright," Blake gave me a soft smile. It was like looking at the sun. With Blake softly comforting me, my
shivering stopped as I started to feel warm in my heart.
Suddenly, my stomach growled. My eyes widened before I hurriedly came out of Blake's arms. I rubbed
my ears, feeling a little embarrased.
Blake's smile turned wider. "Hungry? I will take you to eat delicious food," he teased me, making my
cheeks burn. Playfully pushing him away, I told him, "What do you mean? I 'will' be the one to take you
to eat delicious food! After all, I am more familiar with the shops they have here in the Red Moon Pack
than you!"
Thus, the two of us went out together for a walk. Using the excuse of finding a good food to eat, I
brought Blake around the pack territory, visiting each and every corner of the pack... trying to embark
all of them in my memory.
In my own silent way, I was saying goodbye to the Red Moon Pack... the place where I was born and
lived my entire life. The place where I had experienced my happiest and most sorrowful memories.
'I might really have no chance to return here in the future.' I felt a dull yet consistent ache in my heart.
'This might really be... the last time I will get to see the Red Moon Pack...' I thought, biting my trembling
lower lip.
That night, I repeatedly sighed as my heart slowly shatter into pieces. However, I was not alone,
because the entire time, Blake has stayed with me and did not leave my side.
It was only after a few hours when the two of us came back to our room. By the time we returned, my
heart felt lighter and my stomach full.
Blake and I happily opened the door to our room and immediately saw Arthur who was sitting in the NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
middle of the room. He crossed his arms around his chest and he was glaring at us. Blake and I looked
at him, at a loss on why he was acting like that.
"So the two of you have returned…" Arthur started to talk like a mother scolding her children. "Did you
guys go out to play without me?" He added.
Blake and I looked at each other before the two of us shook our heads in denial.
Arthur's glare turned sharper. He stared at my face for a few seconds before putting his arms up like he
was exasperated.
"Why do you even deny it when you still have food residues on your mouth!" He said dramatically. My
eyes widened as I hurriedly wiped my mouth with my hand. Sure enough, some food crumbs fell on the
ground. My cheeks turned red as I hid behind Blake, trying to hide from the angry Arthur.
Blake let out a chuckle while Arthur sighed. "Fine," Arthur said with narrowed eyes. "I will forgive you
but just this once. And only because we have important things to do."
Blake turned serious upon hearing him. He asked Arthur, "What happened?"
Arthur stretched his arms out before standing up and approaching us. Then, he said, "Alpha Dean sent
someone to call us while you were out."
"He wanted us to go to the poison house together so that we can start detoxifying Blake."
