Chapter 80


    ke''s POV


    It was as if someone had plunged a dagger into my chest and twisted it mercilessly, leaving me


    breathless and aching. No… it was like someone took a knife and plunged it in my chest a thousand,


    no, a million times.


    I looked at the closed door and my shoulders started to shake. As I watched Chloe… my beloved mate,


    walked away from me, my heart shattered into a million pieces.


    At that moment, I suddenly experienced pain that was indescribable.


    My heart that has been mercilessly shattered into a million tiny pieces created many and each fragment


    was gouging my insides. The agony is unrelenting, an incessant throb that seems to be endless.


    I thought that I had experienced pain… a heartbreak before. But as I stood there, looking at the door


    that Chloe closer, I felt something that was beyond anything I ever imagined…


    Still, my mouth remained mum and my body motionless. I did not have the courage to go after Chloe


    and stop her from leaving.


    Chloe… she is my mate, my world, my everything.


    Before she left, I thought that the love that we shared was a me that burned bright, igniting every


    inch of my being with an intensity that I had never known before. But now, that me was flickering,


    struggling to stay alight.


    And I could only stand there, frozen in ce… Even though I felt like I was losing everything that


    mattered to me, I was powerless to stop it.


    "Suffocated… She said she''s suffocated…" I mumbled to myself. I felt like my heart was in my throat as


    I stood there, staring at the closed doors.


    Soon, the feeling of self-me filled my heart. My eyes that were staring at the door turned red.


    "It''s my fault…" I softly whispered. "Chloe… I pushed her too hard…"


    She had told me that she felt suffocated in the Silver Pack. Suddenly, I could not help but me


    myself… It was my fault for pushing her too hard.


    I made her train with Teacher Astor everyday. I did not protect her from the pressure of being the Luna


    of the Silver Pack. Even when I saw she was having a hard time and her body was hurting, I did not


    say anything.


    I had wanted her to be strong, to be able to stand up for herself, and I had pushed her into situations


    that were beyond her capabilities.


    But in the end… it became the reason why she left me.


    I had pushed her too hard and driven her away.


    "Ugh…!" I gripped my hair and finally looked down, staring at the floor. "I let her down… I failed her as


    a mate…!" I whispered harshly.


    The guilt was overwhelming, and I felt like I was suffocating under its weight. I wanted to go to her, to


    tell her how sorry I was and how much she meant to me, but I was paralyzed with fear.


    My mind was spinning as Chloe''s words repeated in my mind.


    ''Chloe asked me… If I could give up my position as the lycan king for her…'' I thought to myself while


    nkly looking at the floor.


    I have never had a single doubt. My mind was fully upied by Chloe while my heart was fully devoted


    to her.


    I would do everything and give up everything for Chloe. Compared to her, my title and authority as the


    Lycan King held little importance to me. Yes, it was my pack, my responsibility, but it could not hold a


    candlepared to my devotion to Chlor.


    But when she asked if I could give up the silver packpletely… for some reason, my heart sank.


    I hesitated, even when I could feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer. At that moment, I did not


    know what to say.


    Silence permeated in the air and I stood there, hopeless and helpless, feelings that I never felt before


    but now were drowning me.


    After what it felt like forever, I opened my lips as an inaudible whisper escaped from them.


    "Could it be… That I really have to let you go?" I softly mumbled as my heart was tearing in two.


    My eyes mirrored the pain and uncertainty that I was feeling inside. I was at the most difficult crossroad


    in my life, and I did not know which path to take. I was torn, unsure of what to do, and I felt like I was


    drowning in a sea of emotions.


    All I knew was that I loved Chloe, and I would do anything to make her happy. But at that moment, I did


    not know if that would be enough.


    A few secondster, the knob of the door twisted and Arthur''s figure came. As he walked into the room,


    his expression somber as he quietly looked at me.


    I was in a wretched state but I did not care. I knew Arthur had expected to find me in this state.


    Then, I heard him sigh before he carefully approached me. "ke… Are you okay?" Arthur spoke


    softly, his words filled with concern and care.


    I tried to respond, but my voice was weak, barely audible. In the end, I kept my mouth mum as a


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    desperate aura surrounded me.


    Arthur pursed his lips for a long time before sighing once more. Slowly, he sat at the bed with his brows


    deeply furrowed.


    "Well, I don''t know if I should tell you this… But I found out that when Chloe left the Silver Pack, she


    directly chose to return to the Red Moon Pack."


    I heard him, his words felt like little hammers weighing down on my chest.


    "...I didn''t expect this, but it seems that the Red Moon Pack is really important to Chloe," Arthur added.


    "When we got here before, I thought that Chloe hated this ce and did not want to return. Even if my


    eyes were blind, I could clearly see her pack''s contempt against her. I really didn''t expect that despite


    that, Chloe will still hold the Red Moon Pack in high regard," he continued.


    "Maybe, in the end, blood runs thicker than water… Even when we treated her the best that we could,


    in the end, she still can''t forget about the Red Moon Pack…"


    My eyes trembled upon hearing him but I did not say anything and continued to stare at the ground.


    Arthur looked at me again and for the third time let out an audible sigh. "Listen ke, I got to tell you


    this…"


    "I believe Chloe will definitely not leave the Red Moon Pack right now-" he started to say but was not


    able to continue because of the re that I sent him.


    "H-hey…! Listen first…! I didn''t mean it in a way that she hated us… It''s because I heard something


    important!" Sensing my unstable aura and condition, Arthur hurriedly exined.


    "Listen first, okay? Before he left, that guy n told me something that''s going on with the Red Moon


    Pack. It''s also the reason why Chloe can''t leave them right now!" Arthur hurriedly continued.


    I blinked once and finally stood straight and looked at Arthur.


    "Something important?"


    "Speak at once!" I hissed as my eyes that red at Arthur turned suspicious.
