Chapter 91


    The period of mourning finally came to an end, but everyone in the pack is still reluctant to bid goodbye


    to my father.


    These days, if not for the pack doctor’s reminder to keep my emotions in check, I would have a hard


    time surviving through the first trimester of my pregnancy.


    “Baby… I’m sorry… mommy is careless.” I looked out the window and caressed my womb with a wave


    of guilt in my heart.


    Even so, the sorrow of my father’s passing is not something easy to bear.


    Besides, the atmosphere outside has been increasingly dangeroustely. The Alpha’s of the other


    packs continued to push their own agenda towards Vanessa, taking advantage of her grief and


    anxiousness.


    Last time I talked with Lisa, I tried dropping hints to her but I am not sure if it was effective, as Vanessa


    is still as careless as she could be in dealing with these greedy Alphas.


    Knock Knock!


    Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by the knocks on the door.


    “Lady Chloe, it’s time.” The servant, who for some reason started to address me properly, reminded me


    of the events that would finally happen today.


    I looked at the white flower blooming beautifully in my window sill. Now that I think about it, it must be


    my father who took care of it when I was away.


    And so I carefully plucked it out of the pot and carried it with me.


    Father’s funeral… his final send off.


    My father’s remains were solemnly carried to the burial site. Every corner we passed through, the pack


    members all knelt and mourned in sorrow.


    It is a testament of my father’s weight in the heart of every member of the Red Moon Pack.


    I slowly followed the parade, with Vanessa and Lisa. Sniffles and heart breaking cries were heard


    beside me, that did not stop until we reached the burial site.


    I looked at the gloomy skies that seemed to have joined our pack in mourning. As heavy as my heart is,


    I bit my lip trying to contain my urge to cry once more.


    ‘Chloe… you must hold on… a lot of eyes are on you…’ I told myself repeatedly.


    The burial went on without a hitch. Laying the white flower on his final resting ce, I stared at my


    father’s grave and fell into a daze.


    “My fellow Alphas it was really a greatfort that you havee to mourn with us in my


    Father’s passing. I really could not thank you enough…”


    It was only when I started hearing Vanessa’s enthusiastic voice that I came back to my senses and


    finally realized the situation.


    While most of the guests have already started to disperse, Alpha Williams, Alpha Hawthorne and the


    rest of the Alpha’s who were present seemed to have no ns on going home yet.


    My eyes darkened as I could not help but feel suspicious of their presence.


    Unfortunately, Vanessa did not seem to notice the sudden change in the atmosphere and still continued


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


    patronizing the Alphas, “But if ever you need help, I swear on my name as an Alpha that I would be the


    first one who would lend a hand.”


    ‘Foolish!’ I could not help but frown.


    To see Vanessa casually swear on her name as the Alpha of the Red Moon pack without even trying to


    gauge the stance of these suspicious Alphas was incredibly stupid and naive.


    ‘Just what is Vanessa thinking?!’ I had the urge to rush over but seeing the cunning gaze of the Alpha’s


    I calmed myself down and slowly approached them.


    “This… “ Just as I have already suspected, Alpha Williams started to sh a treacherous smile and


    said, “In fact there’s something I’d really like for Alpha Vanessa to do…”


    Vanessa did not think too much and asked, “What is Alpha Williams?”


    Alpha Williams, Alpha Hawthorne and the rest of the Alpha’s all suddenly changed their expressions


    and said, “That is…”


    “For Alpha Vanessa to participate in our future cooperation!”


    “P-pardon, Alpha Williams. Could you borate more about what kind of cooperation it would be?”


    Vannesa then asked


    “Hahaha, well… it’s not like you guys have a choice.” Alpha Hawthorne suddenly stepped forward and


    raised his hand.


    I froze as I heard countless werewolves outside our territory howling in unison.


    This was a tant threat and attack to our pack!


    “We need you to ‘cooperate’ and surrender to our pack!” He eximed.


    “W-what?” Vanessa could not believe what she heard and looked at the Alpha’s she tried to have a


    good rtionship with over the past few days suddenly transforming as enemies.


    “Insolence!” n immediately caught on and started to go on defense along with the warriors and


    guardians around.


    The guardians started to move and the burial site’s atmosphere became tense.


    “Alpha Hawthorne and the rest… how could this be?” Vanessa eyed them dangerously, but her eyes


    were already shaking and showing anxiousness.


    She gritted her teeth and released a strong oppressing mana she had been training since we were


    children, in an attempt to intimidate the opponents.


    “Stay put and do not cause trouble to our n, do you think that we would be able to fight with you all?”


    “Hahahaha!” The Alphasughed and released their aura of suppression as well.


    Their simultaneous attack made the warriors in our pack stagger and about to fall.


    “I have no doubts that you would fight against us, but the question is, can you really put up a winning


    fight?” Alpha Williams replied.


    “Look, since we and your father were considered old friends, I will not be hurting you nor your family.


    Just give us what we want and everything will be fine… What do you think, Vanessa?” He proposed.


    “L-let’s talk these things out… shall we?” Vanessa nervously asked.


    “Vanessa, do not listen to them.” As I could no longer bear to see my father’s grave being mocked to


    this extent, I went on Vanessa’s side and faced the Alphas.


    It was as if they were surprised with my appearance, Alpha Williams raised his brows and looked at me


    with a mocking gaze.


    The other Alphas followed and they all had mocking smiles on their gazes as soon as Alpha Williams


    started to taunt.


    “Oh… if it isn’t the deceased Alpha Dean’s wolfless first daughter?!”


    “Ahahaha!”


    “Really a daughter of that caliber, why is she even here?”


    Series ofughs rang on their side as the faces of the rest in the red moon pack all contorted from


    hearing their taunts.


    “Keep your head cool, it is not the time to be blinded by anger!” I shouted to remind my fellow pack


    members and started to look at the Alphas around..


    “This is the Red Moon Pack territory… if you do not show any ounce of respect toward myte father,


    then do not expect us not to retaliate!”
