Chapter 11
I hoped he could give me a negative answer. I wanted him to tell me that he had never lied to me.
However, all he did was stood there in silence.
“So it’s true, right? You were just using me all this time. All the promises you’ve made about spending
the rest of our lives together… you lied about all of that?”
Tears welled up in my eyes, staining my scar-ridden wrist.
I stared at the ugly scars on my arm, feeling nothing but cold. My whole body began to tremble, and my
heart ached like mad. It felt as though the world was crumbling down before me. Perhaps even a small,
random gust of wind could destroy everything I cherished.
I had thought my father loved me, but the only reason he kept me around was that my blood could treat
his heir.
I had thought that Alan loved me, but he loved Vanessa more. He had only been with me because of
my status.
I had thought that Blake truly loved me, but it turned out he had just been using me from the beginning. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
He had lied to me!
Everyone who tried to get close to me had ulterior motives. It turned out that no one in this world was
willing to love me.
My heart ached as if it were bleeding. All I could do was hug myself tightly and endure the pain through
gritted teeth.
How pathetic was I?
My entire life seemed to be a colossal joke.
“Chloe, I didn’t mean to lie to you.”
A deep, hoarse voice rang out from behind me. I stiffened but did not turn to look at Blake. I closed my
eyes and tried to hold back my tears.
“I’m the Lycan King of Silver Pack. I admit that I had indeed used you to get into your pack at the
beginning, but I had never meant to hurt you in any way. All the promises I made weren’t lies…”
Blake was not a man of many words, so he would not speak much if he deemed it unnecessary. As
such, it was a shock to me to witness so many words pour out of him.
I knew that it must be difficult for him to reveal the truth, yet he was still willing to do so much to keep
up this charade.
I nodded numbly, letting him explain it.
There was no trust at all.
Everything was fake. Lies after lies…
After a long while, Blake seemed to realize that his efforts were futile. His voice became hoarse.
The air was filled with his scent. It was the most fragrant scent I’ve ever encountered. But at this
moment, the scent filled me with inexplicable bitterness.
I gritted my teeth and looked at him.
“Blake…” I called out to him softly.
His eyes brightened, “I’m here!”
“I…” I swallowed the bitter lump in my throat and continued, “I want to leave.”
Blake froze, both fists clenching tightly by his sides. The light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
“You…” His lips trembled slightly, as if he had difficulty maintaining his calm composure.
Moments later, he managed to force out a smile and said, “Sure. Where do you want to go? I’ll come
with you.”
It was clear that he was trying to misinterpret my words, unable to accept the idea of me leaving. His
tone was oddly cheerful.
He wasn’t acting like himself.
Blake should be a decisive, indifferent, aloof, arrogant Alpha.
I stared unblinkingly at him. Looking into his dark eyes, I said coldly, “I want to leave by myself.”
Upon hearing that, the small upturned curl of his lips began to disappear gradually. His handsome face
paled slightly, and the usual indifferent expression on his face gave way to panic.
But soon, he masked the emotions that did not belong to him. He looked down at me, and his cold
voice rang out firmly in the room.
“That won’t be possible,” he said in an icy voice. “You’re not allowed to leave my side.”
I froze. My palms were coated in cold sweat.
“Why not?” I asked through gritted teeth. “You’ve just been using me! Now that you’ve achieved your
goal, why won’t you just let me leave?”
He grabbed my shoulder. “It’s because you’re my mate! We promised to stay together, didn’t we? After
all we’ve been through together, are you really just going to walk away?”
I was stunned by his outburst. A loud buzzing sound echoed in my mind, and my heart hurt. Suddenly,
he pulled me into his embrace.
“Chloe, I’m sorry for lying and hiding things from you. I promise to make up for everything. As long as
you stay by my side, I’ll do everything you ask me to. I won’t let you leave me again, I swear!”
As he held me in his arms tightly, his unique scent surrounded me, making my heart palpitate.
I wanted to push him away but found that I did not have the energy to do so.
As we were stuck together like that, someone knocked on the door.
“Who?” Blake released me and turned toward the door, his tone as cold as ice.
“Alpha, it’s me,”A man’s voice came from outside.
Blake shut his eyes for a short moment before opening them. His eyes revealed nothing but calm and
indifference.
“Come in,” he said.
A man wearing a suit and leather shoes walked in. He was about to say something but shut his mouth
upon seeing me.
“She’s your Luna, you don’t have to hide anything from her,” Blake’s cold voice sounded.
The man froze, his expression blank. Not a moment later, he seemed to snap back to his senses and
reported his findings to Blake.
From their conversation, I could deduce that the man in question was Blake’s Beta.
After they conversed for a short while, Blake asked, “Anything else?”
“There’s one more thing.” The Beta handed Blake an invitation card and said, “Red Moon Pack will be
holding an Alpha inauguration ceremony in three days. They’ve invited us to attend.”
Blake turned to look toward me as hearing that.
I clenched the bed sheets tightly, as my body started to tremble uncontrollably. I was hit with my
father’s indifference and the world’s cruelty once again.
It turned out that even though I had gone missing, it had not affected my father in the slightest. He had
even gone on to set up Vanessa’s inauguration ceremony.
I felt my heart grow cold. I couldn’t help but pull a mocking smile.
“Chloe—”
“Please get out!” I interrupted Blake, averting my eyes from his worried gaze. I continued coldly, “I need
some time to calm down.”
Blake remained silent behind me. He respected my wishes and turned to leave with his Beta.
After the door clicked shut, I laid back down on the bed. I pulled the covers over my head, trying to hide
my whimpering.
I was under the quilt, it felt like no one would be able to discover how much pain I was in.
In that instant, I suddenly heard a whimper that did not come from me.
I widened my eyes and surveyed my surroundings. The room was empty, save for myself.
As I was about to regard it as a bout of hallucination, I heard the whimper again. This time, it had grown
a lot louder…
The noise sounded as if it was coming from within my body.
Was that… my wolf?
