Chapter 97


    The room fell into an eerie stillness, the silence only magnifying the tension that hung in the air. ke,


    who had remained quiet throughout, stood there with an imposing presence. An unsettling shift


    urred as his aura grew increasingly oppressive, emanating a destructive energy that seemed to


    permeate the space.


    n''s expression changed in response, a flicker of concern crossing his face. Reacting instinctively, he


    swiftly positioned himself in front of Vanessa, a clear gesture of protection. It was evident that he


    understood the power ke possessed and sought to shield Vanessa from any harm.


    ke''s gaze met n''s defensive stance, and a subtle smirk curved upon his lips. It was a disy of


    arrogance, as if he viewed n as nothing more than a trivial insect in his path. The unspoken


    message was clear – n''s efforts to shield Vanessa would be futile against ke''s formidable


    strength.

    Vanessa''splexion paled further, her features betraying a mix of fear and apprehension. It was clear


    that the weight of ke''s oppressive aura bore down on her, making her feel small and vulnerable in its


    presence.


    It was a moment that emphasized the vast power dynamics within the room and the consequences of


    crossing ke''s path.


    While this was happening, I stood behind ke, not feeling his oppressive aura. In fact, I was even


    feeling warm.


    I looked at my feet. I knew that while ke was oppressing the others, he was surrounding me with his


    gentle and warm aura, protecting me.


    Lisa, too, felt the overwhelming intensity of ke''s aura and panic surged through her eyes.


    She recognized the urgency of the situation and reacted swiftly, her voice adopting a more forceful tone


    as she reprimanded Vanessa once again. It was a desperate attempt to defuse the escting tension


    and redirect the focus away from ke''s formidable presence.


    “No matter what, you are already an Alpha. You set an example to every member of the pack including


    the way you think of your own people. If you would doubt everyone that way, how are you going to earn


    everyone’s respect as the leader of this pack?” She said with a raised tone.


    It was probably the first time she scolded Vanessa. Vanessa looked at her with wide and hurt eyes.


    But Lisa did not acknowledged her. Instead, Lisa turned to ke and I with a regretful expression and


    bowed her head.


    “Lycan King ke… Chloe… I apologize for not being able to guide Vanessa properly. I plead as the


    wife of thete Alpha Dean, that you would overlook her mistakes this time.”


    “Mom!”


    As I observed Lisa''s unexpected shift in demeanor, from her usual air of superiority to a sudden disy


    of humility, a sense of startlement washed over me. The transformation was jarring, and I found myself


    taken aback by this unexpected change.


    Vanessa, too, seemed taken by surprise, her expression betraying a mix of shock and embarrassment.


    I could see her face reddening, a clear sign of her difort and confusion in the face of Lisa''s


    sudden change.


    ncing around the room, I realized that everyone else shared the same perplexed expression. We


    were all caught off guard, unsure of how to react or what our next steps should be. The atmosphere


    was tinged with awkwardness.


    Lisa looked at the panicking Vanessa and said, “Vanessa, you must apologize to Chloe!”


    All eyes were fixed upon Vanessa, and it was evident from her expression that she was reluctant and


    resistant. It seemed as though she still harbored the desire to rebel, defying the situation unfolding


    before her. However, amidst the tension, I couldn''t help but notice a flicker of difort in her eyes as


    she nced in our direction, her gaze fraught with unease.


    Lisa''s posture, still bent in a remorseful apology, seemed to have a profound effect on Vanessa. It


    appeared that the weight of Lisa''s humility troubled her, casting a shadow of awkwardness over the


    room. Vanessa''s face disyed a mix of conflicting emotions, reflecting her inner turmoil and


    uncertainty about how to proceed.


    Perhaps, it might be that she realized that she was really wrong this time that she seemed to finally


    decide to do something. She bit her lip so hard before bowing her head lightly.


    “Chloe… I was wrong… I am sorry…” As if these words were cutting a flesh in her heart, Vanessa


    uttered these words in great difficulty.


    Fascinated that she was able to apologize without Father’s urging, I suddenly had the urge to tease


    her.


    “I’ll take your apology, but that is just for the face you’ve made today. As for the other wrong doings you


    did back then… I am still waiting.”


    “You! Don’t get carried away!” Vanessa acted like someone ruffled her feathers once more and retired


    to her irate state.


    I let out a chuckle and told them that I have to retreat to take a rest. I no longer wanted to know what


    would happen afterward as I could feel my body’s exhaustion.


    Unbeknownst to me, ke followed me all the way to my room and helped me settle down.


    After changing my clothes and checking my wounds he led me to bed with great care as if he looked at


    me like a fragile doll.


    Seeing the expression in his eyes I know exactly how he felt about my pregnancy. He was excited and


    nervous at the same time, that is why ke looked extremely anxious and afraid that I would


    identally hurt myself.


    “ke… Sorry… for not telling you about the child.” I looked at him and uttered these words.


    But ke only shook his hand and answered, “No Chloe… it’s my fault for not being present while you


    struggle like this…”


    “I have always wanted to have a child with you… and I am really grateful that I found out about it…”


    Seeing the sincerity in his voice, I felt relieved and anxious at the same time.


    While I know that ke would not reject the child in my womb, the fact about our rtionship problem


    is still present.


    “Chloe… let’s go back to the Silver Pack shall we? Let our child grow there… so that we could live


    happily…”


    “Carrie also misses you so much… she was really disappointed when you were not around when she


    wasing of age..”


    “ke I…” I looked at him feeling troubled. The matter between us is not that simple. I cannot just


    ignore that and go back to how it was for us back then.


    But ke seemed to know what I would say so he gently held my hand as his body trembled in panic.


    “Chloe, please hear me out just this once.”


    “I am willing to forget about the matter of detoxifying your wolf… I will make sure that the matter will not


    bother you from now on…”


    “As for the Red Moon Pack, I will also make sure that they will be under the Silver Pack’s protection.”


    “I’ll solve anything that makes you worry… We’ll solve every worry you have in mind.”


    “The only thing I ask is for you to allow me… allow us to have another chance.”


    “Please Chloe… can you and our child go back with me in the Silver Pack?”


    “Please Chloe… will you be my Luna again?”
