Chapter 86

Blake's POV

My head is buzzing as I rush back to the pack while Chloe's words ring on my mind repeatedly.

Part of me felt guilty and remorseful for letting her feel that way toward our pack.

Perhaps, I have been blinded by the fact that none of those hypocrites in the Red Moon Pack would

hurt her, that is why it never crossed my mind that she would also suffer great pressure to become

the Luna everyone wanted.

Another part of me, however, wants to ignore her feelings and drag her back to the pack. I want to

no longer think about anything and focus on getting her to my side. This part of me scares me the

most, but I also could not deny that it is what I truly wanted.

The mess inside of me continued until I found myself already arriving in front of the Silver Pack.

“Big brother!” Carrie rushed toward me in a warm embrace but she immediately let go while she

was behind me.

"Big Brother, did you find Chloe? Why is she not back? Everyone in the pack misses her so much...”

Carrie blinked her watery eyes and looked at me in confusion.

I looked at her and shook my head. In an instant, the glow in Chloe's eyes dimmed and the

atmosphere of everyone in the pack became gloomy.

That's right...

While Chloe is unaware, she had already become the center of the pack as the rightful Luna. What

kind of pack would be happy and alright without a Luna around?

I lowered my head and thought, “I was useless... I could not even protect Chloe as my Luna and left

her here to run away..."

"Carrie, let's head over inside the pack house. We have traveled quite long this time so we have to

let Blake rest don't you think?” While lost in my thoughts, Arthur gently pulled Carrie away and

caused everyone to also come back to their senses and carry on with their own duties.

Going back to my room did not help me improve my mood. The fact that Chloe was not by my side

makes my heart and mind feel empty, so much that I felt like I have lost a part of my soul.

“Chloe...” I mumbled as I sat on the chair and rubbed my aching head.

"How am I supposed to go on with my life when you are not with me?”

"What is the purpose for me to even continue like this?”

I clenched my chest as I gritted my teeth. The pain in my heart felt like someone was squeezing it

mercilessly, wanting me to beg for me to end my life.

I subconsciously walked toward the cabinet where several bottles of wine were displayed, enticing

me to open it up and drink it without stopping.

“Chloe...” Tears in my eyes fell as I repeatedly called out in a hoarse voice.

I prayed to the moon goddess that she could hear my desperate cries...

I prayed to the moon goddess that Chloe would change her mind and come to my side...

I prayed to the moon goddess that whatever makes Chloe and I be apart from each other would

finally be resolved so that we could finally be together...

But as I remember the words she left me, it was as if my world crumbled to pieces and the flesh in

my heart was being shredded to nothing.

“Chloe... do you not love me anymore?” I mumbled as I continued to drink wine like it was just

water.

More than the dizziness I felt as the alcohol kicked in, was the pain that could never be numbed by

the delight of consuming such good wine.

The next few days, I spent the entire time commanding my warriors to take care of the packs that

tried to harm the Silver pack.

We invaded those who had been dreaming of hurting the pack mercilessly, killing their Alpha’s and

punishing their warriors, so much that those packs could barely stand alone and would need to

submit to the Silver Pack to survive moving forward.

I ordered invasion from left to right, day to day, in disguise of punishing those who convened

together and planned to hurt the pack.

As much as possible, I do not want to stay in the pack for a long period, and I refused to eat.

Because memories of Chloe would flood in my mind whenever I see or eat anything that reminds

me of her.

“Today we will be invading the North Pack... get everyone ready.” One day I gathered Arthur, Lyra

and the best of my warriors for another mission.

“Wait, Blake, the North Pack... Are you sure?! I understand that you invaded the last five packs

previously but the North Pack... what did they ever do?”

Lyra immediately looked up and opposed me heavily.

I frowned and faced her, as I coldly replied, “Why not, we have been invading several packs for a

while now. What's stopping us from invading one more?”

Bang!

Lyra stood up and slammed the table as she challenged my words, “Blake! You are putting the entire

pack at risk! You clearly knew that once we invaded these packs without any valid reason, the other

packs would surely move and come against us!”

"Are you not thinking about the countless lives that would be lost in the process of that? Since when

did Silver Pack become such a sinister pack?!”

“Lyra,” I squinted my eyes dangerously and replied coldly, “I as the Alpha do not need your

opinion.”

Lyra gritted her teeth and looked at me with an annoyed look. The other warriors lowered their

heads hiding the reluctance in her eyes. Arthur had already given up as he had always been

opposing me since I told him my decision.

“Blake! Stop using the pack to forget Chloe for the moon goddess sake!” Lyra shouted angrily,

making everyone in the room silent.

I looked at her and felt uncomfortable.

Her words seemed to expose my inner thoughts which made me feel extremely displeased.

“Look, I know you are devastated by Chloe's departure, but do not stray from who you really are.”

"You are the Alpha of the Silver pack, and our lives are in your hands.”

“Every decision you make should be thought twice and should be for the benefit of the pack.” Lyra

continued her lecture.

My head was about to explode in pain as I tried to contain the turmoil in my mind, “What do you

know Lyra?”

"What do you know!” I shouted back.

Lyra looked surprised at my explosion but still she straightened her back and replied, “I know

nothing.”

“But I know that one day, Chloe will figure everything out and come back!”
