Chapter 97
The room fell into an eerie stillness, the silence only magnifying the tension that hung in the air. Blake,
who had remained quiet throughout, stood there with an imposing presence. An unsettling shift
occurred as his aura grew increasingly oppressive, emanating a destructive energy that seemed to
permeate the space.
Alan'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 Blake possessed and sought to shield Vanessa from any harm.
Blake's gaze met Alan's defensive stance, and a subtle smirk curved upon his lips. It was a display of
arrogance, as if he viewed Alan as nothing more than a trivial insect in his path. The unspoken
message was clear – Alan's efforts to shield Vanessa would be futile against Blake's formidable
strength.
Vanessa's complexion paled further, her features betraying a mix of fear and apprehension. It was clear
that the weight of Blake'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 Blake's path.
While this was happening, I stood behind Blake, not feeling his oppressive aura. In fact, I was even
feeling warm.
I looked at my feet. I knew that while Blake was oppressing the others, he was surrounding me with his
gentle and warm aura, protecting me.
Lisa, too, felt the overwhelming intensity of Blake'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 escalating tension
and redirect the focus away from Blake'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 Blake and I with a regretful expression and
bowed her head.
“Lycan King Blake… Chloe… I apologize for not being able to guide Vanessa properly. I plead as the
wife of the late 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 display
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 discomfort and confusion in the face of Lisa's
sudden change.
Glancing 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 discomfort in her eyes as Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
she glanced 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 displayed 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, Blake 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 Blake looked extremely anxious and afraid that I would
accidentally hurt myself.
“Blake… Sorry… for not telling you about the child.” I looked at him and uttered these words.
But Blake 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 Blake would not reject the child in my womb, the fact about our relationship 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
was coming of age..”
“Blake 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 Blake 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 become my Luna again?”
