Chapter 88
ke’s POV
“Are the list for the food items already done?” A senior member of the Silver Pack asked a younger
werewolf.
“The list is already prepared. It’s just I heard they are having a hard time looking for some
ingredients...”
“Actually, those ingredients were prepared before... but during the attack, everything became wasted,”
another said while shaking her head.
“No worries. Everything is good. What matters most is everyone is alive and well. Our king is also doing
fine. Now we just have to focus on preparing Carrie’s birthday party...” the senior werewolf said.
“That’s right! Let’s work hard to prepare a grand party!” The other replied.
Carrie’s birthday party was right around the corner and the members of the Silver Pack thrown
themselves into preparing it.
Inside my study, I looked at the window and gazed upon the flurry of activity surrounding me. Suddenly,
I could not help but feel a heavy weight settling into the pit of my stomach.
The vibrant colors and cheerful chatter of the pack members only served to highlight the emptiness that
seemed to engulf me. My tired mind seemed like a maze filled with conflicting thoughts and emotions...
and I felt lost... lost in itsbyrinthine depths.
I watched as my pack members scurried about, their energy palpable in the air. Everyone was excitedly
preparing for Carrie''s eighteenth birthday party, a momentous asion for any wolf... the event that
everyone was looking forward to.
As her brother, I was also one of those looking forward for this event. But at that moment, I could help
but feel down as my mind again became filled with Chloe’s beautiful face.
Chloe... as the Luna of the Silver Pack, it was always her responsibility to prepare for celebrations like
this. In fact, when she was still here, she has began preparing for Carrie’s birthday.
‘That day, you have a big smile on your face when you talked to Carrie about the theme of her party...’
‘The two of you were so excited that time... Even arguing about the motif of the party...’ I thought, a sad
smile appearing on my face.
‘I never would have thought that you would leave even before Carrie’s birthday.’
Her eyes that sparkled with every simple things... Her smile, that never failed tofort me...
Could it be considered that I was remembering them when I never forgot about them in the first ce?
A deep sigh escape in my throat as I continued to watch my busy pack members.
With Chloe gone, the responsibility of preparing for Carrie’s birthday had fallen on my shoulders. As the
Alpha of the pack and the only family that Carrie had left, it was my duty to make sure that her
eighteenth birthday was celebrated in grand style. I did everything that I could and tried to prepare
Carrie’s party as carefully as possible.
But despite my best efforts to stay focused on the task at hand, I found my mind wandering.
Chloe''s words echoed through my mind and continued to haunt me.
Chloe told me... that the Silver Pack was a pressure to her... and that pressure was such a heavy
burden to the point that it forced her to leave.
I watched at the busy figure of my pack members. Some of them were carrying stuff and going around
the pack. On the other hand, other were busy with the preparing the decorations. Despite the serious
problems that our pack just faced, all of them had cheerful and hopeful expressions.
A sad chuckle escaped my lips, the bitter sound carrying the weight of resignation and longing.
Looking at the faces of my pack members... I knew that I could not simple discard my position and
leave the pack, especially now when there were dangers lurking in every corners.
As the King of the Silver Pack, I had the obligations to protect my pack. I could not leave them...
“At least, not yet.”
I could not leave the Silver Pack because I am their King. But it would be a different matter if I found a
new King that would take my ce.
Gripping my hands tight, I looked at the other corner of the garden.
Arthur, who was supposed to be busy because he is the pack doctor as well as my closest aide, was
watching as the pack prepares for the celebration. Although he was not directly interfering with the
arrangement, one could see that he was carefully observing everything, trying to make sure that
everything was fine.
“Arthur... you have always listened to me and follow my words...”
“This time, will you again listen to me?” I softly muttered as I looked at the man who was originally born
to the King of the Silver Pack.
Arthur was born strong and intelligent. He was way more capable than any other alphas of the pack. If
that thing did not happen before, he could have been sitting as the King of the Silver Pack right now.
He was the best candidate to be the new king of the Silver Pack.
As if he heard my words, Arthur, who was busy looking at the preparation, looked in my direction.
Seeing my intense eyes, Arthur looked at me with question until his eyes turned suspicious. It was as if
he knew what I was thinking and he was already telling me that he would never agree to it.
I sighed before looking away. I knew it would be hard to convince him about this. He definitely would
not say yes easily.
‘But I don’t have other choice, do I?’ I thought as I looked back at Arthur who already turned around.
‘Chloe is not here in the pack...’

‘I know where she is, but I could not even go after her...not until I found someone who would take my
ce as the king of the Silver Pack.’
My eyes shed at that thought. Decided, I started to walk and went to the office next to Arthur’s study.
However, my goal was not him.
Instead, it was the person who could help me with my predicament.
Lyra, who had been engrossed in the task of handling documents, wore a serious expression as she
diligently attended to her responsibilities. Her brow furrowed in concentration, a sign of her unwavering
Unlike me, who was so distracted I could not do one thing.
When Lyra caught sight of me entering the room, a flicker of surprise and concern passed across her
features, interrupting the focused facade she had maintained.
“What is it? Do you need anything, alpha?” She asked with a cold tone. However, her brows soften as
she looked at me with concern. Like a friend who was deeply concern with her friend who was having a
tough time.
There was no need for me to hesitate.
“I need your help,” I told her directly.
Surprisingly, like Arthur, Lyra looked at me with suspicious eyes. It was as if she already knew the
reason why I was looking for her.
Thus, I did not beat around the bush and directly told her.
“I want to leave the pack and make Arthur the next King.”
