Chapter 154

Chloe's POV

“Ah... Finally!! We're out!” After ensuring that we were no longer in the Blood Hound Packs territory

and that there were no spies following us, Vanessa exclaimed in relief.

“Geez, Chloe! I thought we were really done for at that time! I did not expect that Alpha Kain would

suspect us first of all the people inside!” With frustration and anger in her voice, Vannessa continued

to rant as we thread in the woods.

“Indeed, I still kept repeating what happened back in the hall. I could not really think of a reason

why Alpha Kain would put his suspicion toward us.” I muttered in wonder.

Even as I thought about it deeply, I could not figure out the reason why Alpha Kain was fixated

towards our side. Could it really be that I have made a grave mistake while posing as Alpha Aira?

“Let us not think about it too much, the most important thing is that we are able to get out of their

territory safely and finish our mission. Besides, we are already going to abandon Alpha Aira's pack.”

Allan commented.

“And what the hell! Uncle Gauss really joined that sinister man’s forces! No wonder those people

were so interested in the knowledge that our father left behind. It turns out that it was Uncle

Gauss's target in the very first place!”

“Indeed, it is really fortunate that Chloe and Caleb were able to retrieve those things before they

could successfully open that safe back then. Now, a traitor like him had no chance in knowing our

pack’s trade secrets!” Allan seconded.

“I think there is more to the fact that Uncle Gauss cooperated with Alpha Kain. I have a feeling that

all the matters of the Blood Moon Pack’s fall, from Father's poisoning to the multiple attacks

happening right after, are connected to that.” I looked at my companions and told my thoughts in a

serious manner.

“I could not help but think that Uncle Gauss is strangely obsessed with getting something from our

pack. At first I thought that he only held a grudge against father because of the Alpha's

succession...”

“But to think that the moment our Blood Moon Pack fell, the first thing he did was not to put the

pack under his leadership, but to take away all the legacy knowledge kept by the Alpha’s from

generation to generation.”

“I am not sure what his goal is.” Looking at Vanessa and the rest, doubts after doubts came out of

my lips causing the others to also think deeply.

Vanessa lowered her gaze and closed her eyes as she clenched her fist. The days where she was in

despair because of not being able to protect the pack back then has been something that torments

her heart.

She looked at me with strong determination and asked, “Do you have a plan in mind, Chloe?”

I looked at the landscape behind us, where Alpha Kain’s territory was sitting. There, a complicated

feeling arose as a figure came to my mind.

Blake has come and infiltrated Alpha Kain's ranks.

And to think that he would be so bold to put on a persona of such a high profile individual, his

approach is far more dangerous than I had.

Moreover, everything about him being Alpha Sabre of the Frost Fang Pack seemed to be a perfect

match to get Alpha Kain's trust. A mysterious pack specializing in assassination, it was an irresistible

bait for Alpha Kain not to miss.

However, towards that fact is a decision that I have to face immediately.

Knowing he was there and our goals seemed to be similar...

Knowing that neither of us nor the pack behind us could defeat Alpha Kain alone...

I have to prepare for the possibility of cooperation.

"Aurora... Do I really have to choose this path...” With no courage to answer that question in my

heart, I turned to my wolf and asked.

"For the first time in five years, I could not be so sure of the next step that I have to take... Aurora..

I'm scared.”

In my chest, I felt Aurora's warmth as her soothing voice answered me softly, “There are matters you

have to face no matter how far you have run away. Especially now, that the two of you are taking

the same path... Chloe it is foolish to think that two of you would never cross paths from this point

forward.”

“It will not make sense, and you will just be prolonging your process of revenge against Alpha Kain.”

Listening to Aurora's words, a conflicting sense of helplessness invaded my heart. I knew that

Aurora's words make sense but towards Blake, I still could not sort out my feelings toward him.

Anger, resentment, longing and affection.

These feelings were so intense, as clear as the light of the day, that it continued to make me unable

to know how exactly I viewed Blake from this point onwards.

I didn't even know where to start, is it because of my pride?

Our mate bond?

Or is it because I really did not have the heart to recognize the fact that after all these years, I still

did not have the courage to completely give him up, thereby rejecting him and severing our mate

bond?

“Chloe, if you cannot find that answer in your heart right now, then just try to solve the biggest

matter you have at hand. After all these are settled... perhaps you can also finally get to the bottom

of the matters between you and Blake...”

Aurora's voice rang once more, acting as a final push to give me confidence. I took a deep breath

and gathered my resolve, “Indeed, just like before... I'll just focus on our pack's revenge.”

With that I finally turned to my companions and said, “We shall wait... If I am not mistaken, someone

will contact us for cooperation.”

"A cooperation? Who could those people be? As far as I know, there were almost no packs that

weren't under Alpha Kain.” Allan looked at me and asked.

“Indeed, it was impossible for us to look for a pack that is still independent of ALpha Kain's forces.

However, what if they have already been allied to Alpha Kain?" I looked at them with a serious

expression, still thinking deeply if Blake would really approach us to cooperate.

“A traitor in Alpha Kain's pack?” They all curiously asked.

“Not exactly, but an enemy that is posing as an ally...” I looked at the distance once more and

uttered as the wind gently passed by us,

“If 1 am not mistaken, it should be the Frost Fang Pack!”

Seemingly not expecting my words, all of my companions exclaimed in surprise, “The Frost Fang...
