“What did you do to father!” Vanessa looked at father’s condition and shouted angrily at me.
It was obvious in her expression that she would surely use this opportunity to oppress me and push the blame on me in front of everyone in the Red Moon Pack.
However, that did not matter to me at the moment.
I pushed Vanessa away to check my father’s condition. In my mind, the only thing that matters is to know what happened to my father.
‘How could this be?’ I examined his condition and tried to calm myself down.
But no matter what I did, it seems like my father's condition gets worse and worse every time.. It makes me feel that I no longer have a way out to help him.
“He fell into a coma.” Feeling the accusing and piercing gazes of Lisa and Vanessa, I know that I could only open my mouth and face them.
Just like what I have thought, Lisa and Vanessa took this opportunity to accuse me once more.
“You are really a heartless woman! This is your plan right, Chloe? To come back here only to deliberately feed my husband something to agitate the poison in his body more?”
“What you gave him is not an antidote! You want to kill your father! You wretched woman!” Liza’s entire body shook as she pointed at me with her eyes reddening in anger.
“I know what you want to do, Chloe. You want to take revenge on Father for favoring me over you right? Now my father is about to lose his life! It’s because of you!” Vanessa chimed in.
“As the Alpha of this pack, I pronounce your punishment! You have to be responsible for this!” She looked at me viciously and called for the beta to take me to prison.
I did not open my mouth to fight, nor even resisted. First because, I do not want a physical altercation to happen as I was worried that it would affect the child in my stomach.
Second was because my mind was still filled with questions as to why Father’s condition became like this.
I could not help but to feel that I missed something, but I cannot pinpoint where.
In the prison, I stared blankly at the sky through the small mossy window, thinking about what went wrong with my father's antidote.
Many times, I thought regretfully that I did not learn more things from teacher Astor before leaving for the Red Moon Pack.
Maybe… just maybe if I have learned a little more…
I could have gotten the answer to the mystery of my father’s condition.
But alas, I am no longer in the Silver Pack, and I have no more intention to come back in there… for Blake’s sake.
For him, I could hold back… I do not want him to sacrifice for me.
As I stared dazedly, my hands gently caressed my womb, feeling the little life inside. It’s only been a few weeks since I knew of my pregnancy and my stomach was still not bulging much.
However, the surreal feeling of me being a mother at the moment still overwhelms me.
Shiiing!
My thoughts were interrupted by the screeching of the iron door in the prison. I blinked and knew that someone had come.
Vanessa stood at the other side of the bars separating the two of us.
She held her head high and a strong sense of superiority exuded in her manner of standing as she was looking at me in satisfaction.
“Chloe, in the end this is how you will still end up.” Vanessa smiled and gloated triumphantly.
“One is an alpha, the other is a prisoner… Alas, father’s daughters were really opposite. Don’t you think so?” She continued.
“You really think that you could be a winner by deluding yourself that you are happy? Look around you?” She waved her hands and looked around the moldy and cold prison.
“Is this the environment that a victor is supposed to leave?” She taunted.
“Chloe, no matter what kind of delusion you have in mind, it would be useless. Because this prison would be your home for the rest of your life! Give up the chance to leave this place as well!”
As soon as Vanessa said these words, she turned around and walked away proudly.
I stared at the direction of the cold iron door and shook my head. Vanessa really did not want to lose.
Even so, she told one truth among all the nonsense she spouted.
That I would stay here in prison until someone would cause changes in here and take me out.
As for how that would happen and who would that be, I still had to figure out.
At the moment, I have to accept the situation calmly and not allow this to get in my head, for my child’s sake.
In the middle of the night as I was closing my eyes to rest, I heard the sound of sneaky footsteps.
I immediately opened my eyes and sat up on bed in vigilance as I stared at the door.
In the dark shadows of the prison room, I saw a familiar figure slowly approaching the little light coming out from the prison’s small window.
“It’s you?” I called out clearly not expecting to see the person come.
