Chapter 77


    As the daughter of the Alpha, I have seen numerous people begging for mercy in order not to be


    imprisoned. For them, the prison was a ce of torture and pain, a ce where hell in earth could be


    found.


    I could understand them.


    But instead of fear, I was feeling more cold and indifferent.


    I looked around the tiny prison cell where I was.


    The walls of my cell were made of thick stone blocks, and there were no windows to let in any light or


    fresh air. The only source of lightes from a small hole in the ceiling, which allows a faint beam of


    the moonlight to filter through.


    The darkness that surrounded me was making me feel like I was choking, and the only sound I could


    hear was the asional dripping of water from the ceiling.


    But my main concern was the suffocating coldness inside the cell.


    The coldness during the day could not bepared to the temperature drop in the evening. As Iid


    on the cold stone floor of my prison cell, I could feel the dampness seeping through my clothes and into


    my bones.


    ''Baby, are you cold?'' I carefully caressed my belly.


    ''I''m sorry. I will do my best to keep you warm,'' I thought as my nose turned sour. When I thought of my


    child, suddenly, I felt like crying… crying for my unborn child for being kept inside the cold prison cell…


    crying because of my worry towards my father who remained unconscious… but I stopped myself. For


    my child… I should be strong.


    When the istion was almost suffocating, something unexpected happened.


    At midnight, faint sounds of footsteps carefully approached me. Then, after a while, the servant I


    previously treated appeared.


    My brows raised as I looked at her. Compared to the past where she would only scowl whenever she


    saw me, at that moment, I could see the embarrassment in her eyes.


    "I…" She started to whisper. From the way she fearfully looked around, it was obvious that she was not


    there officially. Rather, she sneaked in to see me.


    "I came to give you some food…" The servant said before carefully cing the te of bread and


    warm soup on the floor inside my prison cell.


    "Please eat it fast. When you are done, I will take the tray away…" She added before she nervously


    looked around once again.


    A small smile appeared on my lips. Look at her. I only helped her before because of my responsibility


    as a doctor and as the daughter of the alpha. But now she even risked her life to bring me something


    warm to eat.


    The feeling of frustration that I had eased up. I did not say anything. Instead, I took the tray of food and


    started eating. The warm bread and soup helped in making me feel warm.


    A few minutester, the tray was empty. She was trying to hide it. But I saw how the servant took out a


    sigh of relief. She took the tray and looked around again, trying to make sure there were no guards


    around.


    "T-then I will be going. I can''t promise… But I will try to give you food again tonight…" She whispered


    before going. But before she could go, I stopped and told her, "Can you tell An to meet me?"


    "I have something important to tell him about my father."


    The servant flinched and froze. For a few seconds, she remained unmoving.


    I could understand her reaction. After all, reporting to An was the same as confessing her crime of


    sneaking inside the prison cell to the head sentinel.


    But a few secondster, I saw her gripping her hands tight as she turned around and said, "You saved


    my life. So I will help you do this."


    True to her words, the next day, as night fell, n arrived. I could feel the weight of the situation upon


    him.


    He looked unkempt and pale. There were even ck bags under his eyes.


    From his expression alone, I could see the severity of the situation outside.


    "Chloe. How are you?" He said the moment he saw me. "I''m sorry. I can''t recklessly plead for your


    release… You know how Vanessa is…" He added but I shook my head, preventing him from


    continuing.


    Instead, I told him in a straightforward manner, "I will tell you how to wake father up. Please listen


    carefully."


    Although he was someone on Vanessa''s side, I knew how An felt about my father.


    He treated him, the former alpha of the pack, as his own father and teacher. For my father, An was


    willing to do anything, even if it meant giving his own life.


    So in the entire Red Moon Pack, there was no one I could trust my father''s health more than An.


    An''s eyes widened as he stared at me with surprise. Then, he nodded. Seeing that I got his full


    attention, I gave him instructions on how to wake up father and warned him of any potential dangers.


    "Please follow what I told you carefully," I reminded him for thest time.


    "Yes, don''t worry," An replied. "I will go and do it now," he added before going. However, after taking


    a few steps, he stopped and looked back at me.


    Then he dropped a bombshell.


    "Chloe. I knew I should tell you this…"


    "I have seen members of the Silver Pack people near Pack," he told me.


    My mind immediately went into overdrive. ''The Silver Pack?'' My heart started pounding hard in my


    chest.


    ''What are they doing there? No… Are theying for me?'' I could not help but panic. Still, I clutched


    my hands tight and shook my head. Then, I told An, "The most important matter right now is healing


    my father. For anything else…"


    I did not finish my words. I did not need to. An stared at me for a few seconds. Then, he nodded


    before quietly walking away.


    I said those words to An. But when he left, my mind went crazy once more.


    ''The Silver Pack… They never normally go out of their territory…''


    ''Why are they here?''


    ''What if… ke is with them? What if he hade for me?''


    Thinking of ke, memories flooded back to me. Memories of our time together… of theughter and


    the tears. Memories of the pain and the heartbreak I felt when I had to leave him. It was all too much to


    handle, and I felt a tear roll down my cheek.


    For the first time in a while, the calmness andposure that I tried so hard to keep broke.


    "ke…" I softly whispered his name as my heart squeezed tightly and my eyes turned warm.


    As if he heard me call his name, as if on cue, ke suddenly mind linked me.


    My entire body froze.


    "Chloe…" I heard his voice inside my mind and my shoulders started to tremble.


    "Chloe… I am near the Red Moon Pack."


    "Because of our mate bond, I know you are there. Chloe… please… can I see you?"
