Chapter 82
I looked at Vanessa and replied sternly, “As the Alpha, can you just put away your waywardness?
Otherwise you will ruin the entire red moon pack!
“And what makes you think that you could lecture me, the Alpha like that, huh? Chloe!” Vanessa
retorted back, refusing to be outdone.
“I, as the Alpha, had the final say on what would be happening to the pack!”
She raised her head and stood up looking toward me so proudly.
“Heh… Now you are openly and proudly declaring such a thing when you did a poor job in solving the
border crisis and the rest of the pack’s business dealings?” I knew that if I didn't say my piece, Vanessa
would not stop at anything.
I looked at her and listed all her shortcomings as she stood there unable to understand why I am
saying these things to her out loud.
“For several times, you have already put the entire pack in danger because of your carelessness. If not
for Father holding the fort and your sentry cleaning up your mess, the pack should have been long
gone!”
“In fact, until now, the dangers lingering around the pack has been increasing constantly!”
“You!!! Do not spout nonsense!” Vanessa didn't expect me to know these things about the pack, so she
couldn't help being a little surprised.
“How am I talking nonsense? If you have been more careful, the matter of father’s condition should
have never been out of the other pack’s ears and yet here you are parading everyone some witless
rumors which lead to the news of father’s condition going outside.”
“Now everyone is eyeing our pack because they do not see Vanessa as a threat in their eyes! As an
alpha, you have already failed father!” I looked at her and continued to reprimand.
Vanessa’s body shuddered and she looked at me with deep hatred in her eyes, “How dare you!”
A wild aura appeared on her body, exerting her might as an alpha. Everyone around us knelt in fright
as they clearly felt her wrath.
I looked at her unwaveringly and saw the threat in her eyes.
Fortunately, Alan came and stepped between us. “Alpha, Chloe… now is not the time to fight and
quarrel with each other!”
“Remember, the former Alpha is still recuperating. Would you like for him to know that you were fighting
like this?”
In the end, with Alan’s persuasion, the matter subsided and I was able to go back to what I had been
doing.
A few days went by and Father's health is getting worse and worse.
At this time, Alpha Anon, who has a great friendship with the red moon pack, suddenly visited.
He was the alpha of the South Dew Pack and had been with a peaceful relationship with the Red Moon
pack since my father’s reign.
Many from the pack got excited as they thought that Alpha Anon’s visit would be something to show
support for the Red moon pack who was now actually in an awkward position.
However, I could not help but think that the relationship with the South Dew Pack had already started to
crumble when the news of Father’s poisoning got out.
But even if it is true, as long as my Father is still around, they would surely maintain a peaceful facade
on the surface.
I only hope that my hunch is wrong this time...
In order to help Vanessa stabilize her position, father insisted on personally welcoming Alpha Anon’s
arrival.
Worried about my father’s condition stayed by father's side all the time.
Standing to see the group of wolves slowly coming inside our pack gate, Father and Vanessa stepped
forward and greeted Alpha Anon dignifiedly.
“Alpha Anon, it’s been a long time, welcome to the Red Moon Pack once more!” Father smiled and met
Alpha Anon. Vanessa also followed the suit and greeted him in a formal manner.
“Indeed! I am glad to see you in high spirits! Also, your daughter, Alpha Vanessa, grew up so well!”
Alpha Anon reciprocated.
He was a tall man almost about the same age as father, his aura is though is a little bit weaker than
father’s when he was in his prime. Behind him were several warriors also coming with him on this visit.
“I have been hearing a lot of news about her, and it really got me curious about how she has been
doing since the coronation ceremony…” Alpha Anon looked at Vanessa meaningfully then to the
surroundings of the pack, “Well it seems like she was able to maintain your hardships to keep your
pack in glory.
Although there was not even one sentence said to insult father and the pack, Alpha Anon’s words were
already implying that he was questioning Vanessa’s leadership. In his words, it has been several
months yet nothing in the pack seemed to have changed for the better.
“We'll still have a lot to learn, but I am confident that the pack will be safe and prosperous in her
hands.” Father seemed to have understood what the Alpha said but he still replied in a modest yet
meaningful manner.
Vanessa, who seemed to feel awkward and stifled about being the subject of the two’s conversation,
politely interjected to lead the visitors to the pack house.
Along the way and even as they were at the lounge, Alpha Anon kept on probing about Father’s
condition making me more vigilant about his intentions.
“Alpha Vanessa, I heard that Alpha Dean’s condition seemed to have been getting better last time…
Shall I express my well wishes for his recovery very soon?” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“We are hopeful for his recovery as well…” Vanessa replied curtly.
Alpha Anon’s gaze seemed to have changed and then his questioning became more aggressive.
“Well… you seem rather unconfident? Do not tell me that your pack has not yet found out the antidote
to heal my dear friend Dean?”
Vanessa seemed to have not prepared for Anon’s probing and stuttered, “ Alpha… this… we”
Seeing that the other party was too aggressive and Vanessa couldn't deal with it easily, I sighed and
finally came forward.
“Alpha Anon, it is no use for you to probe us like this. Let’s get straight to the point… the reason you
are here is for medicinal herbs, am I right?”
His eyes seemed to have flickered and a surprised smile appeared on his face, “Hm… Alpha Dean,
there’s one sly daughter you have here aren't you?”
Seeing that he wants to put the conversation between the level of an Alpha, it was obvious that he
clearly looked down on me.
Even so, I would not allow my father to be stressed out by this opportunist, “It’s no use to rope in the
retired Alpha. You have what you want, and it is only me who recognizes and gives it. In short, you are
the one who needs something from us, Alpha Anon, and if everyone can’t recognize the herb you
wanted, then you could never avoid conversing with me.”
I looked at him with certainty, I wanted to let him know that it should not cross his mind to belittle father
and I just because he thought that the pack had weakened.
“Alpha Dean, is what she was saying true?” Alpha Anon had a frown on his face, but he still calmly
asked my father.
I looked at my father and saw his permitting eyes. Then he looked at Alpha Anon and nodded, “The
child had more knowledge than anyone in the pack in terms of herbs and medicine,”
Father’s words are all I needed, “What do you say, Alpha Anon, are you willing to talk now and hear our
conditions?”
