“I am already dying.”

Those words were like a hammer hitting my heart so badly.

For my father to say that his poison has reached the point where it cannot be cured, I had this sense of unwillingness to just watch and allow all of this to happen, when I know I can do something. “No, there must be a way... I must find a way!” I shook my head vehemently, responding to the unwillingness inside me.

I looked at my father with deep remorse and guilt as I uttered, “I'm sorry... this poison was developed by me... and it harmed you to this extent.”

But my father shook his head and looked at me without any ounce of guilt, “You must not be sorry,” “In fact... I must be the one to say sorry...” He uttered weakly.

He opened his mouth then shut it again, wanting to say many things. In the end, he said, “Sorry for turning a blind eye on your suffering... I know I can't count it all but I really regret everything.”

“I know that Lisa and Vanessa treated you badly, but I chose to do anything about it... and made you suffer.” My father's eyes trembled with guilt as he said these words.

Although I was surprised and had never imagined that my father would one day apologize to me, I have long stopped worrying about those things.

“Father...” I called him once again for the first time ever since my departure in the pack, “Those things are no longer important. The most important thing is to find a way to heal the poison in your body.”

I looked at him, surprise appeared on his face. But I still keep my tears rolling in my eyes relentlessly. Then there is regret, then finally helplessness. “You have changed a lot...”

“I know it was cruel to let you and Vanessa switch mates at the time, but looking at it now, that decision was correct.”

“I am very happy that you have grown a lot under Blake's influence.” Finally there was a tinge of relief and smile on his face.

Hearing Blake's name, my body stiffened. I had just made a decision to leave him and I don't even know if he was able to handle my disappearance.

My heart was filled with guilt, however, it did not stop my heart from feeling warm just thinking about him.

Indeed, he had made such a huge change in me that even as I went back to the place where I despised and feared, I was surprised that I was already able to walk in here confidently and unafraid. He and the silver pack had made me believe in myself that I can do things, in my own way. That I have talents apart from having a situation with my wolf Aurora.

I learned a lot from Blake and the rest, and now those things, I carried it confidently back to the place I once hated.

Seeing that I did not say anything further, my father looked at me and opened his mouth, asking, “Blake... is he good to y-"

But just as he was about to complete his question, Vanessa rushed in suddenly. The door of the room was violently swung as it made a loud sound upon her coming.

Bang!

Vanessa arrived in the room in a rude manner not even showing the least bit of consideration towards father.

Her eyes looked at me in anger and disbelief as she pointed her finger at me and said, “Chloe! You dare come back after all these things happened?!”

“Tell us where have you been? You insisted on leaving the pack, but now that you came back suddenly, does she think the pack will accept her?!”

I wiped away her tears and faced Vanessa directly. Gone were the days where I wanted to avoid her as much as possible.

“I did not expect that the news of my return would reach your ears this fast.” I answered looking at her without fear

"Did I perhaps disappoint you by coming back after the “assistance’ you gave me upon my departure?” I gave her a meaningful smile as I implied in my words about her attempt to kill me as soon as I stepped out of the pack back then.

“Rest assured Vanessa, I only came back to see her father. I have no interest whatsoever in the things you fear that I would covet. Whether it be the Alpha position, or your mate.”

Hearing my words, Vanessa seemed to be frightened by it, especially the part where I am hinting that she did try to kill me back then.

She froze and her gaze faltered. After a brief pause, she tried to change the subject, “Why are you accusing me? Are you not the one who should feel guilty? You developed such a deadly poison which made father this way and could only lie on bed!”

I looked at her and clenched my fist, wanting to slap her mouth to stop her yapping.

But before I could do anything, my father's angry bellow stopped the two of us from arguing any further. “Enough!”

Vanessa choked on the words she was about to say, but she still looked at me in surprise not expecting that I would not show any sign of fear and insecurity towards her.

And so she had to play her same-old technique of acting coquettish and going to my father, “Father, how could you not punish her from hurting and abandoning you... Chloe, she... She is completely irresponsible.”

While she was saying these things, she did not miss to shoot me a provocative glare to show that it was still her whom Father would be siding with.

But contrary to both our expectations, Father looked at her and sternly reprimanded,

"Vanessa, you are already an Alpha, why are you acting like that in such disgrace?”

“Your words and actions carry the entire reputation of the pack. If you run your mouth without looking at the overall situation first, how are you going to lead the pack this way?”

“This is not how an Alpha should act!”

"Besides, you and Chloe are sisters. Now that I am like this, I hope that you two will get along well as you live.”

Vanessa looked at me and I could feel her great hatred. That was because her father has always been obedient to her words before, it was the first time that he did not side with her readily and even reprimanded her in front of me, the person whom she despised the most.

She must not have expected to be humiliated in front of me as she looked at Father in disbelief and struggled to maintain her aggrieved expression while looking at me with anger.

Finally, I opened my mouth and said, “Vanessa, you better be careful, otherwise I can take back the alpha position at any time. Whatever you hold dear, I can surely work to take it out of your hands if I want to.”

I ignored my father's warning and looked at Vanessa coldly, wanting her to feel the determination in my mind, “Do you dare believe it or not?"
