Chapter 145

Chloe's POV

It was cold when the night of the party arrived.

Dressed in black evening gown with subtle accents of gold, I led the team to enter the banquet

area.

“Dear guests, may we have your invitation.” Two large-bodied warriors looked at us without any

expression and inspected our invitations.

But it was not only them who were scrutinizing our identities at the moment.

I could feel several pairs of eyes gazing at us at the moment, as if they were trying to find anything

suspicious.

Our hearts remained calm. There is a reason why we lurked around their pack for days, and that is to

observe how our targets behave.

We've studied the way they talked, even their peculiar habits. We tried to gather information as

much as we could to ensure that we would blend perfectly to the crowd at this moment.

Although a few days of observing was not enough, we hoped that it proved beneficial to our

mission from this point forward.

I for instance, maintained the demeanor of the Alpha of the Brook Valley Pack. She was cold

blooded yet too ignorant of the world beyond their pack.

There is a sense of authority and superiority whenever she was inside the pack, but whenever the

topic or situation mentioned the Alpha of the BloodHound Pack, her eyes would change into that of

fawning.

It seems like this Alpha wanted for her to be noticed by the dubbed, strongest Alpha of the

weekend at the moment...

After some time, the two warriors looked at each other and finally said, “Greetings, Alpha of the

Brook Valley Pack, enjoy the night!”

Then they moved to open the banquet door where we heard the bustling sound of merry-making.

We paused momentarily as we were caught off-guard by the caliber of luxury and magnificence

beyond the door.

“Let's go..." Quickly recovering, I calmly beckoned my “people’ as we walked inside the party. For

starters, we tried to not gather any attention yet and so I raised my hand for a little bit and took a

glass of champagne from the server.

Still acting like Alpha Nari of the Brook Valley Pack, I turned to my companions and gave them

“permission’ to also get a drink.

After that we slowly worked to go at an inconspicuous corner to basically observe the surroundings

for a while before doing anything further.

"Wow... This party is luxurious..." Vanessa, who was disguised as a young aide, leaned towards me

and started a conversation by linking our minds.

"I looked down on this pack in the past when I was still an alpha..." Vanessa added while scanning

the area with her eyes. "I never knew that they were this rich!"

Raising a brow, I also looked around me. Indeed, although the territory was small, each and every

corner of it was screaming richness.

The door of their pack house was inlaid with gold, their floors made of marble, the utensils used to

entertain guests were made of gold and crystals. Everything was so sparkly that one look could hurt

one's eyes.

“Know that while they were enjoying the glamor and glory this time... it was at the expense of the

blood of our pack.” I responded, as I hid the coldness in my heart. “Play by ear, mingle with your

“peers’ and try to gather as much information as possible.”

With my orders, four of us spreaded out and blended through the crowd surrounded by the officials

of the Blood Hound Pack.

While the Brook Valley Pack is but a small pack compared to the Blood Hound Pack, the rest of the

guests came over and talked from time to time.

It seems like although Alpha Nari had little experience outside the pack, she made sure to have

good relationships with some of the officials in every manner she could get.

Fortunately, Caleb and Allan had already compiled the identities of the rest of the attendees of the

pack.

Coupled by the fact that I have once seen their faces during the time when our pack was still under

my Father's leadership, I was able to socialize with the guests without any mishaps

I wore the same reserved smile she wore and spoke fawningly toward these officials.

There were elders and Alpha’s of similarly small packs, all of them survived by agreeing to annex

with the Blood Hound Pack.

There was a trace of satisfaction on their faces, as if their decision to surrender and submit was the

best choice they could ever make in their lives. Nevertheless, I listened to their gibberish while

enjoying the champagne in my hand calmly.

“Look at the Blood Hound Pack, I really thought that the pack would have their foundations shaken

the moment I heard about the fall of the second base, but here we are!”

“Indeed! I really couldn't thank myself enough by making that decision back then...”

“If we all had resisted, we would end up like that Blood Moon Pack, who was now nothing but a tale

to be forgotten eventually...”

"Sigh... Blood Moon Pack... they were once a great pack! No other pack can deal with poisons other

than them... yet they tragically disappeared just because they foolishly resisted!”

At the mention of my pack, my gaze darkened and my hand held the champagne glass tightly,

almost snapping it in two. However, Aurora's voice calmed me immediately, “Chloe, calm down.

Remember what you are here for.”

Hearing her words, I blinked and changed my mood immediately, forcing my rage to calm down. I

smiled, as some officials glanced at me as if trying to get my agreement as well.

Swallowing the disgust, I opened my mouth and chimed in, “Yes... although too bad, their poison

techniques would have given our alliance even more formidable power, don't you think?”

“I think so too...” At the mention of the poison skills, the elders exploded into another exciting

discussion.

However, I never knew that my seemingly carefree comment would bring me a crucial clue.

One of the elders who belong to the Blood Hound Pack somehow joined the conversation with

pride in his expression and tone, “You people are wrong in the first place.”

“The Blood Hound Pack no longer needs the Blood Moon Packs knowledge of poison... Our Alpha

never saw their disappearance as a loss!”

"Why 50?" The others asked.

“That is because we have found a person who was just as talented as the former Alpha of the Blood

Pack before! It's none other than the late Alpha Dean's brother, Elder Gauss!”

“The former Alphas Brother? Then that means...” The others were shocked about the revelation.

"Yes indeed. That only means that Blood Hound Pack’s hand already took the sought after poison

making skills!”

The revelation was like thunder shocking the core of my being.

To think that Uncle Gauss would really side with the very same people that caused the Blood Moon

Pack to fall.

The hatred that I have been forcefully keeping inside was on the verge of leaking out. In the end, I

mindlinked Vanessa and the rest to immediately tell the news.

But before we could regroup, the music changed and a loud announcement was heard in the entire

banquet hall.

“Behold! The Alpha of the Blood Hound Pack, Alpha Kain!"
