Chapter 112


    Chloe''s POV


    It could have been a great night if not for the disturbing sound of agonizing screams and the thick scent


    of blood.


    I have debated against myself countless times whether I should go out and check the situation or not.

    But ke''s sound warning rang on my head and reminded me that I am in no position to be reckless.


    There is a little life in me that I have to protect now… I must trust ke this time.


    Even so, the scream and the sound of the intensifying battle made me shudder in fear and anxiety.


    Especially the moment I heard the sound of battleing closer and closer to my doorstep.


    ''Should I hide somewhere safe?'' Driven by fear, I asked myself once more.


    Pacing back and forth around the room, I furrowed my brows as I decided what to do.


    In the end, I caught ke''s scent that immediately calmed me down and made me still.


    ''That''s right… ke is outside…''


    Besides, I am no longer a weak wolfless woman now. I can at least defend myself if needed.


    Finally having the confidence, I calmed myself down and intently waited for ke toe back.


    I have already lost track of how long the battlested.


    All I knew was I only managed to calm down a little when ke came to the room.


    Seeing him calm while being surrounded by the aura of blood and death I could not help but open my


    mouth.


    "What is happening outside, ke?"


    My eyes scanned all over him, checking if he was injured in any way.


    He looked at me with relief in his eyes. It was calm and serene, and if not for the bloodstains that


    decorated the side of his face, one would think that he did not even encounter a battle with the


    intruders.


    "There were just some intruders who tried to take advantage of our lowered guards… But don''t worry


    the enemies were already taken care of." He looked at me reassuringly as his tone suggested that I


    cap the night.


    "Why do enemies attack us? Is this the first time that it happened?"


    Hearing his calm exnation I could not help but ask further. The smell of blood outside the room is so


    thick and the agonizing screams earlier were too loud to unhear.


    "This attack was not serious… It is just a futile attempt to catch us off guard during Carrie''sing of


    age ceremony…"


    He answered without a miniscule change in his emotions.


    I perfunctorily nodded, however I have a nagging feeling that what ke was saying wasn''t what it


    seems.


    "Chloe… Don''t worry about it and take a rest… I shall not apany you for a while because I have to


    oversee the clean up and investigations."


    He looked at me and stretched out his hands, wanting to soothe what every anxiousness I excuse


    outwardly. But the stains in his hands prevented him from reaching out further.


    “I want to join you… there are many people who were injured, I cannot just sit idly here and not help.” I


    insisted.


    A frown on ke’s forehead appeared but the gentleness in his eyes did not diminish the slightest bit.


    After a long pause he still decided to shake his head and said,


    “Do not worry, as I have said, this attack is not that rming at all… You should take a rest first. When


    there’s still a need tomorrow, you can freely help around. But now… you and our baby should rest.”


    Although I was disappointed by his rejection, I could not refuse his seeding words. This is the first


    time for the both of us to act with our baby in mind, and so I reluctantly nodded and did his wishes.


    Iid down to bed, knowing full well that the sleepiness will note easy to me because of the


    situation outside. However, for the little one in my womb, Imanded myself to sleep.


    The next day, I woke up subconsciously looking at the other side of the bed. It was not cold and neat


    denoting that ke dide back for some time and managed to get a rest.


    With his lingering scent beside me, my heart was filled with relief somehow.


    Getting up, I immediately got down to prepare and took breakfast.


    The atmosphere was rather tense but the activities around did not slow down the slightest.


    The dining hall was still as busy as it was during normal times except for the fact that the food they


    were preparing was more appropriate for the injured ones.


    Looking at it at an even more detailed nce, it even seemed like they were already used to operating


    like this, that it did not look like the attack that bothered them once.


    I started looking around for ke but I realized that he was nowhere to be found.


    Without a choice, I took a look at one of the servants who were attentively looking after my meals and


    asked aboutst night''s attack.


    The servant was shocked at first but she then calmed herself down, seemingly horrified upon


    remembering what had happenedst night.


    “Mydy, althoughst night’s attack brought us so much shock, the pack is doing well. The servant


    replied calmly, but the ripple in her eyes was too obvious to ignore.


    “Are there a lot of injured members? Is everything doing fine?” I could not help but ask further.


    “Not at all mydy… this attack is not like the past were…” Seemingly remembering something, the


    servant stuttered for a while but quickly recovered, “There are indeed many injured but it is not a heavy


    problem… The others are busy nursing the injured, from my eyes I could see that this would soon be


    oveed by our pack.”


    “Hmm… I see..” I looked at her while bing bothered about her words, but in the end she smiled


    and suggested,


    “The King is doing his best as well… Do you want me to lead you to him after finishing your meal?” She


    asked rather attentively.


    “En… lead the way the wayter then.” Brushing the doubt in my mind, I nodded and hastened


    finishing my meal. After all, I could go there and see for myself if the situation really was something that


    is not as rming as they said to be.


    The servant then led me to the treatment hall, where the injured are being nursed.


    The noise of the busy atmospherepletely woke me up as I saw all of the healers running around


    and checking each of the injured situations.


    Even so, there was no patient who appeared to be critically injured and the panicked atmosphere was


    no longer around. Only then did I manage to believe what ke and the servant said but even so I


    decided to look around and see where I can help.


    I saw ke immediately as he stood strong and calm at the center of the hall.


    His warriors surrounded him, seemingly waiting for him to give out his orders. Although he looked


    rather energetic and steadfast, the faint shadow under his eyes told me the weariness he was inwardly


    enduring.


    I signaled the servant, thanking her for leading the way, then headed towards where he was.


    I only managed to take a few steps when ke’s eyesnded on me and smiled. The warriors


    surrounding him also saw me and immediately gave way to ke after greeting me with a respectful


    smile.


    “Chloe… you’re awake…” ke mumbled while his hand naturally took me and led me to the quieter


    area of the hall.
