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 alreadyte and the weather was rather chilly.


    I looked around and saw that apart from me, no one else was outside, making the ce cold and


    empty… " Like the feelings that I had in my heart," I softly muttered before I let out a bitterugh.


    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 secondster, Vanessa and n 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 nk and my body froze on the spot. Thankfully, before she


    could touch my mask, n grabbed her hand. Vanessa looked at n with surprise.


    "Stop it," n exined 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," n added.


    Vanessa, who was told off, pouted. n 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, n


    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 stepster, n


    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, ke was waiting for me. He watched me as I


    entered and remained silent. I did not say anything, but ke seemed to know what I was feeling. He

    let out a sigh before standing up and pouring me a ss of water.


    I took the water that ke gave me. It was warm, the heat of the ss transferred to the palm of my


    hand, making me feel less cold. I bowed my head and remained silent for a long time. ke stood


    beside me, silently apanying me as I tried my best to process through my difficult emotions.


    After a while, I looked back at ke, 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. ke, who definitely heard it, did


    not say anything. Instead, he put an arm behind me and started to stroke my back gently.


    "Alright," ke gave me a soft smile. It was like looking at the sun. With ke softlyforting 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 ke''s arms. I rubbed


    my ears, feeling a little embarrased.


    ke''s smile turned wider. "Hungry? I will take you to eat delicious food," he teased me, making my


    cheeks burn. yfully 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 ke 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 ce where I was born and


    lived my entire life. The ce 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... thest 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, ke 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.


    ke and I happily opened the door to our room and immediately saw Arthur who was sitting in the


    middle of the room. He crossed his arms around his chest and he was ring at us. ke 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 y without me?" He added.


    ke and I looked at each other before the two of us shook our heads in denial.


    Arthur''s re 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 ke, trying to hide from the angry Arthur.


    ke 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."


    ke 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 ke."
