Chapter 116
Chapter 116
A cold gust of air approached me, sending waves of goosebumps in my body.
Caught unprepared, I relied on my instincts to step back and dodge quickly in another direction.
Skkkk!
Still, the attacker managed to wound the side of my cheeks as he turned to where I was dodged and
launched another attack again.
I no longer cared about what direction to run off too. All I knew was that I needed to run for my life and
escape.
The chilling temperature in the air became colder and colder as it swept speedily on my body.
Behind me I could sense that there were now several figures turned to pursue me.
‘They were not alone!’
This time my mind remembered the face of my attacker a few moments ago. His eyes were bloodshot,
but a trace of excitement ran on his face. It is as if getting me killed would be the price he only needed.
‘Who are these people?’ I wondered as the cold beads of sweat trickled all over my body.
I desperately searched for something to hide in the forest. But the dark of the night did not even help
me get through the terrain I was in.
Crack! Wooshh!
Several branches hit me as I dived deeper into the woods, leaving piercing wounds all over my body.
I bit my lip in desperation as I knew in the first place that I could not survive unless someone from the
pack helped me.
Desperation and belittlement overwhelmed me as reality hit. In these moments, I would always realize
how good it would be to have a wolf to rely on.
Gritting my teeth and clenching my fist, I tried to search deep down in my soul to desperately call my
wolf which had been silent for a long time now, ‘Aurora…’
However, there was no trace of my wolf at all.
‘Someone… There must be someone…’ Panic rushed over me as I could see several black figures
closing their distance from me.
I tried hard to run toward the pack but then I realized that I was already out of the territory.
This time I realized the grave mistake I just committed. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Because of the heavy emotions I felt towards the truth about the Silver Pack, I ran out alone without
regard to my safety.
I cursed myself once more, realizing the fact that I foolishly went out alone and wolfless in a territory
that had just been attacked last night.
‘Of course there would be an enemy lurking outside!’ I blamed myself once more, wanting to slap
myself for how foolish I have just become.
Now not only did I jeopardize myself but my child!
If I could go back in time, I would have not run off mindlessly for the second time!
Even so, regretting too late at the moment.
For now I am surrounded by the enemies in all directions.
I could never outrun them… and seeing their smug faces made me realize that they were just playing
with me earlier on.
They could have caught me and killed me easily even as I ran. But they let me run around and watch
how I desperately struggle.
“Tired of running?”
Amongst the numerous attackers, one emerged in the middle with an imposing aura. He was as strong
as the beta around the pack.
Realizing this, my heart dropped as I knew that I could not escape from his grasp alone.
I looked at them with hatred and deterrence as I asked with a tone full of warning, “Who are you? Why
are you doing this?”
Leader of the attackers looked at me amusedly, ignoring my question he gloated in triumph,
“We finally managed to see you alone… heh… the sacrifice last night is indeed worth it! In the end, no
matter how the Lycan king protected you, he would not have thought that we would catch you alone
this way! Hahahaha!”
Hearing the leader’s words made my mind ring in dizziness.
‘The reason why they attacked was because of me?’
‘I was actually the target of last night’s attack?’
I searched my mind to think about who might be the people who would want my life and one person
came to my mind - My Uncle!
‘Could it be that my uncle really wanted to target me?’
Realizing these things, another wave of despair and guilt, as the leader’s words and Lyra’s revelations
earlier on completed the picture of truth in my head.
I stood in their midst, my body shivering in terror as I realized the gravity of truth I have just discovered.
I brought harm to the entire Silver Pack!
From the very first moment I came there up until now, I have brought nothing worthy to the pack but
harm and enemies!
I have caused many lives to suffer because of my presence.
I have caused Blake to make wrong decisions, ultimately bringing more harm to the pack he once loved
and cared about the most!
In an instant, a stream of tears rolled onto my cheeks, as I collapsed on the ground.
“Oh… you are no longer putting up a fight?” The leader raised his brows as he looked at me like I was
an insect whose life is in a flick of his hand.
But I no longer have any strength to even resist as I feel completely hopeless and broken.
The combination of the truth and the realization of my foolishness had long broken my spirit, completely
taking out my will to even put up a fight.
Seeing my state the Leader scoffed as if he was bored watching my state. He spat on the ground and
eyed his men.
Looking at me without any emotions, he coldly ordered, “Kill her.”
As soon as I heard his voice, I knew that my life was over.
“My baby… I am so sorry… mom is very foolish…” I moved my hand and caressed my womb,
apologizing profusely toward my child.
There was no longer any way to salvage the situation as I was here wolfless, in the middle of the forest
far outside the reach of the Silver Pack territory.
“Hehehe…” I heard several low chuckles as a few men moved. I tightened my fist as I felt their
footsteps getting nearer.
I lifelessly lifted my head, and I saw several sharp claws coming at me.
Flinching to their attacks, I closed my eyes and braced for the pain that is about to come.
However, after a few seconds there was no pain that came.
Instead I heard a deafening silence followed by sequential sounds of bodies falling in the ground.
“F*ck… how did you…” The next moment I heard the voice of the leader with disbelief in his tone.
Shocked about what happened I opened my eyes and looked at his direction, only to see how the
Leader looked towards a figure in horror.
My body shuddered as I saw Blake moving so fast as he charged toward the Leader.
I saw deep anger and coldness in Blake’s eyes as he moved his hand and mercilessly separated the
Leader’s head in his body.
“B-blake…” I mumbled as my body shuddered, finally reacting with all the things that happened.
Blake turned around, blood stained on his ever handsome face. The moment his eyes landed at me,
the viciousness in his eyes washed over, as if it did not exist in the first place.
“Chloe, are you all right?” He asked as he approached me.
Before I could open my mouth to reply, I subconsciously looked down as I felt a warm flow coming out
of my lower body. At that moment I felt a sliver of life in my body flying away.
My body trembled as I saw the bloody mess between my legs as I screamed, “N-no!!!”
