Chapter 34


    It took time for ke and I to return after roaming around the pack. Thus, upon hearing what Arthur


    said, the three of us went to the poison house without wasting another moment. Unsurprisingly, when


    we arrived there, my father was already waiting for us inside.


    The room was dim but I could already see the changes in his appearancepared to thest time I


    saw him.


    "Your condition improved a lot," kemented the moment he saw my father. Indeed, my father


    looked considerably healthier. I secretly let out a sigh of relief.


    "Yes," my father replied. "I thought I would never have a chance to live again. This is all thanks to you,


    Dr. Arthur," he added.


    Although my father was talking to Arthur, as he spoke, his eyes were directed at me, making me feel a


    little uneasy.


    Beside me, Arthur smiled awkwardly. He scratched his head before saying with a slightly sheepish


    voice, "N-no problem... no problem... It was my job to do it."


    ke watched the exchange without much expression on his face. He casuallymented, "The


    Silver pack sessfully disintegrated the power of your opponents. As for your brother, I did not hurt


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    him too much... but he should not be able to pose any threat to the Red Moon pack, at least in the


    meantime."


    My father, who looked like he aged ten years in just a few days, nodded at ke. "I understand," he


    told him. "This time, it''s all because of your help that we managed to survive this ordeal."


    "To thank you, I prepared something as a token of gratitude." After saying those words, my father stood


    up and went over to the safe behind the painting.


    Arthur''s eyes lit up instantly. He pushed me with his shoulders before giving me a wink as if to say:


    Finally, I don''t have to worry about what the passcode is!


    Arthur''s signal made me more aware of the situation too. With intensity, I stared at my father''s hand as


    he entered the passcode of the safe.


    But after seeing the passcode, my heart skipped a beat. That passcode... wasn''t it my birthday?!


    I fell into a great shock. Why would my father… someone who didn''t even wish to be my father… use


    my birthday as the passcode of one the most important safes in the pack? I was so confused… I could


    not understand the reason why.


    Seeing the changes in my face, Arthur asked me in a low voice, "So what does that string of numbers


    mean?" I frowned and did not answer. No, at that time, I could not give him an answer.


    My father, who was oblivious to our exchange, took a small vial out of the safe and handed it to ke.


    "Take this on the night of the full moon," he instructed. ke took the medicine and nodded.


    My father looked at ke seriously. He told him, "King Bluke, although this will help detoxify you, I still


    owe you a favor.


    If you have any request, I will try my best in order to repay the favor."


    Indeed, father owed ke not only for the safety of the Red Moon Pack. He also owed ke and the


    Silver Pack for the antidote to his poison and for helping them deal with their enemies.


    ke heard my father''s words but he did not give him an answer.


    Seeing that ke did not speak, my father continued, "Vanessa''s inauguration ceremony will be held


    again in three days. I hope that you can stay and continue to participate in this important event."


    How ironic! The pack was recently attacked and has yet to recover. Yet they were already nning on


    going ahead and continuing with Vanessa''s inauguration ceremony?


    "Would you look at that... He can''t wait to see his little daughter on the top!" Arthur murmured in a low


    voice.


    My father looked in Arthur''s direction. Arthur''s eyes widened and he immediately shut up.


    I watched their exchange silently but my mind was elsewhere.


    ''Maybe… I am also someone who is important to my father? Otherwise… Why would he use my


    birthday as the passcode on that important safe?'' The thought kept on repeating in my mind. Finally, I


    could no longer stop myself.


    I clenched my fists, and with a glimmer of hope in my heart, I looked up at my father and said, "Excuse


    me, Alpha... I heard that your daughter left the pack, did you miss her?"


    The entire room turned silent. But I can''t care it anymore, I watched my father intently, wondering what


    his answer would be.


    My father froze for a second, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. For a while, he seemed to be in


    deep thoughts and did not say anything. That was until his eyes harde ed and he gave me a simple


    reply, "No."


    My heart clenched, yet, I still refused to give up. I asked him another question, "Why…? Do you really


    not care whether she lives or dies at all?"


    After hearing this, my father just looked at me calmly. I met his eyes squarely and snapped, "Do you


    always think that your child is only Vanessa, the one who is about to be an alpha? That''s why you


    don''t hesitate to hold the ceremony for her without any fear of danger?"


    My father heard my questions and suddenly, he looked as if he was at a loss for words. However, a few


    secondster, his eyes turned colder once again before I heard him answer my questions with just a


    sentence.


    "Yes, I just think I have only one daughter, and that is Vanessa, who is also the future alpha of Red


    moon pack."


    It felt like a bucket of ice cold water was suddenly sshed on my head. I were trembling all over my


    body.


    I stared at my father, but instead of the pain, coldness appeared in my eyes.


    "I see..." I sneered. "Very good," I added before turning to ke. Then, I simply told him, "Let''s go."


    Without waiting for ke''s answer, I turned to the door and left the room first. It’s all over, there was


    obviously no need to ask any more.


    Arthur, who had a look of shock on his face, quickly followed me. On the other hand, ke gave my


    father a nod before also leaving the room.


    Later on, I collected my blood and asked a servant to bring the antidote to my father. After that incident


    in the poison room, I did not want to see him or even hear his name.


    I looked at my freshly cut wound and wrapped it with a bandage. It was thest time that I would give


    an antidote to my father. I stared at the bowl filled with my blood without expression on my face.


    Surprisingly, I was neither resentful nor hurting. Deep inside, I was even feeling rxed.


    "Done?" ke, who stayed close to me everytime I collected my blood, asked with a soft voice.


    I nodded before saying, "Yes. Let''s go back to the Silver Pack right away. I don''t want to participate in


    the new inauguration ceremony..."


    "We have been away for a long time... I can''t wait to see Carrie again. I bet she''s waiting for us


    impatiently already," I added with a small smile.


    ke took a few steps until he was standing a foot away from me. He was close enough for me to feel


    his body heat.


    "Alright," ke said before he began ying with the tips of my hair. His reply was simple, yet his


    gentle eyes seemed to speak a lot of things.


    "But we will only leave this ce tomorrow," ke suddenly added.


    "Because tonight, I have a very important person to meet."
