Chapter 27
My father looked at Blake with meaningful eyes. The entire hall fell into deafening silence.
All of us were looking at Blake, some of the members of the other packs looked convinced and were
nodding their heads in agreement.
Some of the members of the Red Moon Pack had ghastly and fearful faces, while the others, like Alan,
were looking at Blake with rage.
"You...! What did you just say? How dare you openly threaten us!" Alan yelled as he started to step
forward Blake, ready to start a fight. My father grabbed his arm before he could take a step.
"Stop," father ordered with an authoritative voice. Alan's eyes widened with surprise. He could not
believe my father just stopped him.
"But Alpha--" He started to protest but my father raised a hand and cut him off. Alan's face turned from
white to red. He pressed his lips together and glared at Blake instead.
Seeing that Alan stood down, my father turned to Blake before saying, "I will find the murderer within
three days." Only a few minutes have passed but he looked like he aged ten years.
The entire hall was again filled with whispers. Anxiety started to fill my heart. I bit my lower lip as I
looked at Blake. 'How... How can he say that? I thought he would help my father...'
"B-Blake--" I subconsciously called for him before I caught myself. I started to walk towards Blake.
"Wait a second...!" Arthur, who was standing beside me, caught my arm and stopped me.
"What are you doing?" He hurriedly asked me with anxiety.
"I have to talk to him..." I replied with a panicked voice, totally forgot I can't speak now, thankfully no
one noticed what I just did.
Arthur looked at me and let out a sigh.
"Calm down. You cannot approach him now. There are so many eyes around!" Alan lowered his voice
and explained to me.
"Don't worry. Blake is just trying to buy time for Alpha Dean," Arthur added,trying to reassure me.
I stared at him and heard his words. Yet, I was still dubious, my uneasy mood could not be relieved.
I just could not stay still and remain not doing anything. After everyone left, I went to investigate the
situation.
I looked at and examined the poisoned people by myself and found that the poison in their bodies was
indeed a poison coming from the Red Moon Pack. More than that, the method of using the poison was
exactly the same method of the pack.
'They used the same method as what is taught in the pack. But... father would never use this method NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
himself,' I thought with furrowed brows.
'It's also such an important occasion. Father would certainly not ruin it by poisoning his guests...' my
eyes flashed. 'I have to tell Blake about this. Blake can maybe ask my father to investigate the people
who are familiar with the pack's poison and see who has any grudge against the pack,' I thought before
I went over to Blake's room.
The door of Blake's room was slightly ajar. I lightly knocked before opening the door. "Bla--" I started to
call him but stopped. Because I saw Vanessa was inside his room!
Vanessa looked at me with surprise. "So she can talk? I thought your beta was a mute," Vanessa
commented. Her voice sounded calm and sweet, but I felt chills down to my spine.
I lowered my head and kept silent. I did not dare speak anymore.
Vanessa approached me with a frown on her face. "How peculiar," she started to say. "Though I can't
pinpoint it, somehow your beta smells awfully familiar," she added.
I grabbed the hem of my clothes nervously.
Blake saw this and stepped forward in front of me, effectively blocking Vanessa from further
approaching me. "She is my Beta. How could you feel familiar with her?" He asked with a curt tone. He
was not respectful, yet Vanessa was not offended and merely smiled.
Blake stared at her for a few seconds before turning towards me. "Go and find Arthur. He have
something to discuss with you," he told me, sending me away. I nodded before immediately leaving the
door and closing the door.
However, I did not immediately leave.
'What is Vanessa doing in Blake's room?' My eyes flashed before I leaned on the door, trying to
eavesdrop on them.
"King Bluke, we were interrupted so I will repeat my request to you. I want to invite you and the entire
Silver Pack to join forces with the Red Moon Pack. Our packs will be united, and we will be the
strongest in the entire world!"
"What do you mean?" Blake asked her without emotion.
Then, I heard Vanessae saying, "The two of us... the Lycan King of the Silver Pack and the future
Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, can accept each other as mates."
"Think about it... I can be your Luna and you can be the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack..."
"You can have all of me... and I can have all of you..." she said with an awfully charming and seductive
voice.
I stared at the door with an astonished look on my face.
'Unbelievable... She's trying to seduce Blake?' I thought with clenched fists.
"You want me to accept you as my mate?" Blake asked coldly.
"Don't you have a mate already? I even witnessed him escorting you in the grand ceremony earlier," he
added.
"No problem," Vanessa replied with an alluring tone. "If you accept me, I can reject Alan right at this
instant..."
'What the hell?' I could not help but exclaim. 'H-how... how can she do this...!' My heart pounded hard
with anger upon hearing her words. Vanessa was the future Alpha of the Red Moon Pack! But even
when her pack was in crisis, she still had the audacity to think only about herself!
At that moment, I saw an image through the crack of the door. Vanessa approached Blake closely. She
lifted a hand and started to seductively trace Blake's arm with her finger! I grabbed the doorknob,
wanted to rush inside and pull her away from Blake!
But before I could proceed, I felt a presence behind me. Alan, who just arrived, was looking at me with
judging eyes.
"Isn't this the dumb beta of the Silver Pack?" His eyes looked at me dismissively. "I need to look for the
Lycan King. Move!" He said before pushing me away and directly opening the door.
'Oh no!' My eyes widened. 'There's no time to stop him!'
The next moment, Alan pushed the door open and immediately saw Vanessa was sticking her body
close to Blake. The collar of her clothes was opened, and one of her fingers lightly tracing on Blake's
chest.
Alan froze before his body started emitting a cold aura.
"What the hell are you guys doing!" He said with a chilling voice.
