Chapter 77
Chapter 77
As the daughter of the Alpha, I have seen numerous people begging for mercy in order not to be
imprisoned. For them, the prison was a place of torture and pain, a place where hell in earth could be
found.
I could understand them.
But instead of fear, I was feeling more cold and indifferent.
I looked around the tiny prison cell where I was.
The walls of my cell were made of thick stone blocks, and there were no windows to let in any light or
fresh air. The only source of light comes from a small hole in the ceiling, which allows a faint beam of
the moonlight to filter through.
The darkness that surrounded me was making me feel like I was choking, and the only sound I could
hear was the occasional dripping of water from the ceiling.
But my main concern was the suffocating coldness inside the cell.
The coldness during the day could not be compared to the temperature drop in the evening. As I laid
on the cold stone floor of my prison cell, I could feel the dampness seeping through my clothes and into
my bones.
'Baby, are you cold?' I carefully caressed my belly.
'I'm sorry. I will do my best to keep you warm,' I thought as my nose turned sour. When I thought of my
child, suddenly, I felt like crying… crying for my unborn child for being kept inside the cold prison cell…
crying because of my worry towards my father who remained unconscious… but I stopped myself. For
my child… I should be strong.
When the isolation was almost suffocating, something unexpected happened.
At midnight, faint sounds of footsteps carefully approached me. Then, after a while, the servant I
previously treated appeared.
My brows raised as I looked at her. Compared to the past where she would only scowl whenever she
saw me, at that moment, I could see the embarrassment in her eyes.
"I…" She started to whisper. From the way she fearfully looked around, it was obvious that she was not
there officially. Rather, she sneaked in to see me.
"I came to give you some food…" The servant said before carefully placing the plate of bread and
warm soup on the floor inside my prison cell.
"Please eat it fast. When you are done, I will take the tray away…" She added before she nervously
looked around once again.
A small smile appeared on my lips. Look at her. I only helped her before because of my responsibility This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
as a doctor and as the daughter of the alpha. But now she even risked her life to bring me something
warm to eat.
The feeling of frustration that I had eased up. I did not say anything. Instead, I took the tray of food and
started eating. The warm bread and soup helped in making me feel warm.
A few minutes later, the tray was empty. She was trying to hide it. But I saw how the servant took out a
sigh of relief. She took the tray and looked around again, trying to make sure there were no guards
around.
"T-then I will be going. I can't promise… But I will try to give you food again tonight…" She whispered
before going. But before she could go, I stopped and told her, "Can you tell Allan to meet me?"
"I have something important to tell him about my father."
The servant flinched and froze. For a few seconds, she remained unmoving.
I could understand her reaction. After all, reporting to Allan was the same as confessing her crime of
sneaking inside the prison cell to the head sentinel.
But a few seconds later, I saw her gripping her hands tight as she turned around and said, "You saved
my life. So I will help you do this."
True to her words, the next day, as night fell, Alan arrived. I could feel the weight of the situation upon
him.
He looked unkempt and pale. There were even black bags under his eyes.
From his expression alone, I could see the severity of the situation outside.
"Chloe. How are you?" He said the moment he saw me. "I'm sorry. I can't recklessly plead for your
release… You know how Vanessa is…" He added but I shook my head, preventing him from
continuing.
Instead, I told him in a straightforward manner, "I will tell you how to wake father up. Please listen
carefully."
Although he was someone on Vanessa's side, I knew how Allan felt about my father.
He treated him, the former alpha of the pack, as his own father and teacher. For my father, Allan was
willing to do anything, even if it meant giving his own life.
So in the entire Red Moon Pack, there was no one I could trust my father's health more than Allan.
Allan's eyes widened as he stared at me with surprise. Then, he nodded. Seeing that I got his full
attention, I gave him instructions on how to wake up father and warned him of any potential dangers.
"Please follow what I told you carefully," I reminded him for the last time.
"Yes, don't worry," Allan replied. "I will go and do it now," he added before going. However, after taking
a few steps, he stopped and looked back at me.
Then he dropped a bombshell.
"Chloe. I knew I should tell you this…"
"I have seen members of the Silver Pack people near Pack," he told me.
My mind immediately went into overdrive. 'The Silver Pack?' My heart started pounding hard in my
chest.
'What are they doing there? No… Are they coming for me?' I could not help but panic. Still, I clutched
my hands tight and shook my head. Then, I told Allan, "The most important matter right now is healing
my father. For anything else…"
I did not finish my words. I did not need to. Allan stared at me for a few seconds. Then, he nodded
before quietly walking away.
I said those words to Allan. But when he left, my mind went crazy once more.
'The Silver Pack… They never normally go out of their territory…'
'Why are they here?'
'What if… Blake is with them? What if he had come for me?'
Thinking of Blake, memories flooded back to me. Memories of our time together… of the laughter and
the tears. Memories of the pain and the heartbreak I felt when I had to leave him. It was all too much to
handle, and I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
For the first time in a while, the calmness and composure that I tried so hard to keep broke.
"Blake…" I softly whispered his name as my heart squeezed tightly and my eyes turned warm.
As if he heard me call his name, as if on cue, Blake suddenly mind linked me.
My entire body froze.
"Chloe…" I heard his voice inside my mind and my shoulders started to tremble.
"Chloe… I am near the Red Moon Pack."
"Because of our mate bond, I know you are there. Chloe… please… can I see you?"
I clutched the hems of my shirts nervously with both hands, not knowing how to reply.
