Blake’s POV
The moment I asked the question, the trace of surprise on Alpha Dean’s pale face proved that he did not expect me to find out about Chloe's wolf poisoning.
Even so, Alpha Dean only frowned and didn't answer.
I had already expected his reaction as I knew that it would be hard to convince him about telling me everything and so I went on and said,
“Before even mentioning the antidote, it's better to talk about who poisoned Chloe.”
I stared at Alpha Dean, carefully watching every expression that he had. Staying silent for a moment, he finally opened his mouth and then said hoarsely,
“The one who poisoned Chloe… is indeed me!”
Bang!
Hearing this, I bared my fangs and pushed Alpha Dean against the wall.
At some point I had already guessed it, but I still couldn't control my anger when I heard Dean admit the fact with his own mouth.
Feeling the raging anger inside, I yelled at Dean angrily while tightening the grip in his neck
“Do you think I dare not kill you?”
“My, King! Please calm down… if you kill Alpha Dean, this may incite a war!” Suddenly Arthur stepped forward to stop me from venting my anger.
But how could I accept such truth? How could I just stay here and do nothing to the very person who put Chloe in such a bad state?!
Even so, seeing Arthur’s warning and pleading glance I gritted my teeth and let go of Alpha Dean’s neck.
Then keeping me in check he let me step backwards to create a distance between.
“Chloe… all her life… She only longed for her father to love her just a little bit.” Feeling that would explode my anger at any point, Arthur stepped up and helped me confront Dean.
His voice was also full of grievance and questioning, “So it turns out, that Alpha Dean really doesn't love his daughter Chloe at all?!”
For Arthur, more than being the pack’s luna, Chloe is his friend and family. The times they spent together maybe quite short, but I could see how everything around Arthur and Carrie the moment Chloe came to the pack
Alpha Dean didn't know how to answer, just bowed his head in silence.
My face darkened once more, I no longer wanted for Alpha Dean to remain silent when everything has to be clearly resolved.
I stood up and glared at him, demanding him to answer my questions aggressively.
“Alpha Dean, why did you poison Chloe's wolf when you clearly needed an heir with a powerful wolf?”
“Did you know that Chloe has been blaming her own wolf for being weak all these years in order to get her father's favor?!”
“If she knew that her father was the one who poisoned her, how would Chloe accept it?”
“The father whom she only wanted to receive affection from, yet you where the very person who put her to misery!”
In my anger, I could feel the veins on my forehead pop out when I said those words.
The hesitation and guilt appeared in Alpha Dean’s expression as he remained silent for a long time.
As if he had gathered his courage to reveal everything, he lowered his head and slowly answered.
“I know more than anyone that all this was too cruel for Chloe…” He said with a hoarse voice.
“Believe me when I say that I am deeply sorry for Chloe all these years, but I did all this to protect her!
“How could you just pretend that you did not see her sufferings? Were you still deluding yourself that your choices made Chloe alive at the moment?!”
Alpha Dean chocked and could not answer.
Of course he couldn’t for he was just one big coward.
And so I said, “You may be afraid and remain coward, but I am not!”
I looked at his pathetic figure and declared with a firm tone,
“I don’t care about your pack, so I will definitely let Lisa and Vanessa get the punishment they deserve! Mark my words!”
Alpha Dean tried to plead, but I do not have the heart to do that as I that for me would be abandoning Chloe… just like what her father did.
Seeing that the matter is getting too deep, Arthur interjected, “Maybe the top priority now is how to detoxify Chloe's wolf… Because if not, she will blame herself for the rest of her life.”
Then the two of us looked at Dean trying to find out if he had a way, only to see Alpha Dean shake his head.
My heart immediately sank at his actions and so I asked once more.
“What do you mean, you mean there's really no cure for this poison? If anything goes wrong with Chloe, I'll have Lisa and even the whole Red moon pack buried with her!”
Dean walked to the window, a desolate figure that was looking sorry and guilty stared at the view outside.
Then with an uncertain voice, he said: “I have only heard rumors about the antidote to this poison, but it has never been proven, and the antidote method is very risky and radical.”
He paused, then turned to me and said, “The antidote is you!”
