Chapter 22
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 shed. 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,pletely opposite to how he treated me before. I started feeling awkward.
A few minutester, 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 ke who stood in front of us. But there were some who paid attention to me. Subconsciously, I

shrank back.
ke did not mind them. He walked confidently, like a real king among his subjects. His aura was
extraordinarily strong, making everyone look at him with awe.
Because of the mask, half of his face was hidden. But everyone could see his heroic eyes.
I followed beside him. Behind us was Arthur and one of the two betas that ke brought along with us.
Arthur looked serious and calm while the beta also looked distinguished. Compared to them who both
appeared mysterious and dignified, I felt like a meek small mouse that happened to apany them.
Soon, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open and ke calmly walked in. I followed him behind
along with Arthur and the beta. The moment we arrived, the hall was immediately filled with whispers.
"Oh wow. The Silver Pack is indeed mysterious. Look how everyone of them even wore a mask!"
"I know. I got goosebumps when I saw them. Especially the Lycan King... We can only see half of his
face, but it''s already enough to see that his looks are very extraordinary!"
The crowd whispered excitedly. But I did not pay much attention to them because my eyes were
focused on the top seats in front of us.
My father was sitting at the highest seat inside the banquet hall. On each of his sides were Lisa, my
stepmother, and Vanessa. Sitting beside Vanessa was n.
They looked picture perfect. I felt a little dazed. Seeing how happy they looked, I felt that I had been
away for far too long. For them, it seemed as if I never existed at all!
When my father got up to greet ke, I suddenly felt nervous. What if he recognized ke despite the
mask?
My father stared at ke for a few seconds and did not say anything.
My heart started to pound faster.
ke calmly looked at my father. He looked like a king who was receiving his subordinate''s greeting. It
waspletely different from his aura from the time he first came to the Red Moon Pack.
After a short while, my father said, "Wee to the Red Moon Pack, Lycan King. It''s a great pleasure
for us to have you here."
He did not recognize ke. I let out a sigh of relief.
ke replied with a nonchnt tone, "Nice to see you too, Alpha Dean. You may address me as
Bluke."
"I understand, King Bluke," my father said. "You never responded to any of the invitations sent to you
before so I didn''t expect anything when I sent you my letter. I am honestly surprised and thankful that
you epted my invitation," my father added.
ke watched him for a short while before bluntly saying, "I did it because of someone else." The
whispers immediately turned even louder.
Vanessa, who was quietly watching from the side, suddenly stood up and approached ke. She put
on her sweetest smile and said with a voice that was like dripping honey, "Did youe to witness my
inauguration?"
"I''m Vanessa Baker. L-Lycan King Bluke... please take c-care of me in the future," Vanessa softly said
before offering her hand.
ke stared at Vanessa''s outstretched hand. Then, he sneered before walking past her and finding a
seat to sit down on. The banquet hall turned awkwardly silent. Vanessa''s face flushed, appearing a little
embarrassed, but she kept smiling.
I felt a bump on my shoulder and saw Arthur looking at me with a raised brow. Suddenly, I returned to
my senses and realized that I was watching ke interact with my family with a dumbfounded look on
my face.
"Is that your sister?" Arthur whispered. I nodded at him.
"Hmmm. She is indeed sexier and more beautiful than you... She also has a sweet mouth..."
"Is this the reason why your father likes her more?" He asked.
I shrugged my shoulders and replied, "Maybe."
Arthur blinked once before frowning. "Well, you are definitely kinder than her. What''s the use of being
sexy and good-looking if you have the heart of a snake?" He frowned. Listening to him take my side, I
felt a sudden warmth in my heart.
The banquet was too boring. It was a party where everyone showed their appreciation towards
Vanessa. It started to make me very ufortable. After a few hours, I could not take it anymore and
secretly ran out.
I walked within the premises of the Red Moon Pack. It was the ce where I lived for 19 years. But
looking at it, it felt both familiar and unfamiliar to me. I felt a strange feeling inside my heart.
The pack members saw me as I walked around but no one dared to stop me. After all, I was part of the
Silver Pack. Everyone treated me with respect.
A few momentster, I stood in front of a very familiar door. I was stunned. Without thinking, I ended up
walking to my old room! For a few seconds, I panicked inside, unsure what to do.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a servant came out of my old room. I opened my mouth, not
knowing what to say. My heart started beating so fast.
Thankfully, the servant did not make a big deal about it. Seeing that I was a guest at the banquet, she
only furrowed her brows and told me, "Quickly get out of the way." Then, she walked away.
I watched the servant back and fell into silence. From across the streets I heard the loud music and
I nced at my old room. ''Everything here has nothing to do with me anymore.''
''It''s funny. I''m no longer the old Chloe, but still here I am. Feeling so lonely when everyone else is
partying,'' I thought as I nibbled my lower lip.
Suddenly, a thought shed in my mind. If everyone was partying, then it would be the best time to find
an antidote for ke!
Hurriedly, I looked around and saw that the ce was empty. Gripping my hands into fists, I walked
towards my father''s study.
But after just a few steps, someone suddenly called me from behind. My body immediately froze.
It was a voice that I was very familiar with… It was n''s!
