Chapter 6
Chapter 6
My mind was dazed before I recognized what was happening. I almost fell onto the ground as my body
trembling vehemently.
Why? Father had accepted Blake into the pack and promised he would treat us well.
What on earth had happened?
“Where are they?” I asked anxiously.
One of the maids rolled her eyes at me and mocked, “Why the hell would we tell you?”
“Leave away from us! We’re busy with work! We don’t have time to…”
“Damn! Just tell me where they are right now!” I blurt out in sudden rage, and my eyes constricted with
anger.
My roar frightened them. They cringed and stammered, “They… they’re in the basement.”
Something pierced through my chest while their response rang in my ears. I gritted my teeth and ran to
the basement without looking back.
I could still hear the two maids whispering with each other behind me.
“What the hell? Why’d she get so intimidating all of a sudden?”
“Tsk…Did you see that? I saw something horrible flashed in her eyes…”
The maids’ voices faded as the distance between us further. I didn’t mind what they think of me, the
only one I cared about was Blake…My mate.
As I arrived at the basement, I could hear my father roaring in a fury. My whole body trembled as his
thunder voice echoed around the basement.
“Expel this lowly Rogue out of our pack!”
“No! Father!” I shouted, rushing into my father.
Everyone’s gaze fell on me but my eyes fixed on Blake, who was curling up on the floor. His limbs were
bound by thick iron chains. His lips had turned purple, and his eyes were black and blue. The veins on
his arms and forehead protruded out, and his white shirt had soaked with sweat.
It was the symptom of poison…
Blake had been poisoned!
My heart sank to the bottomless ground, and my breathing was quick and uneven. Feeling my gaze,
Blake glanced at me but quickly averted his eyes.
I pulled the guards away and rushed over to Blake’s side. I wanted to help him up but my father
stopped me.
“Chloe! What are you doing?” He asked in a cold inquisitorial voice.
It had been ages since I’d seen him so angry.
I took a deep breath and swallowed my anger, “Father, what happened? Why did you poison Blake?
Why are you banishing him!?”
“He was trying to steal lethal poison from our castle!” Vanessa interjected. “Everyone knows that the
castle is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter it without father’s permission.”
I felt my heart drop to my stomach. If Vanessa’s words were true, my father would definitely punish
Blake by using the cruelest means.
I looked down at Blake with worries. A smile lifted the corner of his mouth. He let out a disdainful sneer,
as if he had heard the funniest joke.
“Blake, did you—”
“Don’t worry about me. Leave now!” Blake interrupted my words with a cold voice.
His indifference stunned me. But I knew his intentions. I knew he acted like that so as not to drag me
down with him.
My nose twitched as I held Blake’s hand tightly. I whispered in his ears, “No, we will get through it
together.”
Blake’s lips moved soundlessly. He stared at me unblinkingly, a hint of guilt flash across his eyes.
“Enough!” Father barked out. He glared at me coldly before instructing the guards next to me, “Get her
out of here.”
“Yes, Alpha!” The guards rushed over and gripped my arm tightly.
“No, don’t touch me!” I pushed the guards away with all my might and turned to look at my father. I
begged desperately, “Father, please! Please investigate it first. Blake didn’t steal anything!!”
“I watched him steal the poison from the castle with my eyes!” Vanessa said with a smug on her face.
Her words struck me and I yelled at her, “It was you, wasn’t it? You set Blake up!”
“What are you talking about? Why would Vanessa do anything like that?” Lisa hurriedly pulled Vanessa
into a protective embrace, then turned toward father. “Dear, I think Chloe’s gone insane! She’s trying to
frame her sister to protect a lowly rogue!”
Vanessa was lying in Lisa's arms, looking at father with tears. Trembling with anger, I was about to
retort but my father gave the guards a grim order, "What are you guys standing around for? Get her out
of here! Then throw this rouge over the border!"
“No! Father, please don’t expel Blake. I beg you. Blake is innocent!” I shouted with tears. But my father
turned deaf ears to my pleas.
The guards prised my fingers off Blake’s hand, intending to pull me away.
My words couldn’t change anything. Father would rather kill those he considered threats out of
precaution. He would not spare their lives only to have them cause trouble later on. I knew that there
was no way he would let Blake off easily. Even though he knew that the man was my mate and I would
suffer miserably without him.
If that were the case…
“Father, if you insist on banishing Blake, then please banish me as well,” I shouted hysterically.
Everyone turned to look at me in surprise and regarded me as a madman.
Father squinted his eyes and asked coldly, “What did you say?”
“I want to leave with Blake,” I reiterated firmly.
“How dare you say that? Do you think you can leave here in this life?” Father suddenly let out a cold
chuckle.
My heart quiver slightly.
‘What does he mean? Why I can’t leave… Since I’m nothing to them, then just let me go!’
My legs were trembling and I felt something was wrong somewhere.
Father waved a hand at the guards, signaling them to take Blake away.
I pounced, planning to fight with them. However, one of them pushed me over, and I lose my balance
and stagger backward. I cracked my head on the cold concrete floor.
A dizziness overwhelmed me. I saw nothing but darkness, and everything sounded extremely muffled.
Suddenly, a loud roar came to my ears and then I fell into warm arms.
I blinked my eyes to take a good look at the scene before me.
The guards had all fell on the ground, unmoving and yelling. I noticed Blake’s wolf-like features and the
iron chains around him were broken into pieces.
Once he noticed that I was conscious, he calmed down slightly but vomited blood. The vein on his
forehead seemed to throb painfully.
“Blake!” I yelled, trembling in every limb.
He wiped the blood and gasped, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“I might have underestimated you.” Father’s low voice rang out, his gaze becoming more dangerous.
Blake glared at him without saying any word, the savage look in his dark gaze.
I tugged on Blake’s sleeve and said weakly, “Take me with you.”
Hearing my words, Blake looked down at me. Then, he carried me toward the exit.
“Stop!” Father commanded, his threatening voice echoing in the basement. “You can leave, but Chloe
stay here.”
The guards gathered around the exit when they heard my father’s words. Blake paused, turning to
stare at my father.
“Once you leave my pack, you will encounter countless Rogues. Are you certain that you can keep
Chloe safe? Or are you planning to get her to protect you since you’re poisoned?” Father sneered at
him.
Blake’s body stiffened instantly, and I could feel his muscles tense up.
Father’s words had a huge impact on him. I tugged Blake’s shirt and said firmly, “I don’t care. I’m not
scared. Please just take me with you!”
“You’re not afraid, doesn’t mean he isn’t.” Father lounged on the sofa, lighting a cigarette in his hand.
He raised his eyebrow at me and said, “You’re my daughter. Without my permission, do you think you
can pass the border? The pain of exiling yourself from the pack would be enough to kill you! Stupid
girl.”
His words stroke Blake’s mind. Blake frowned and looked at me in confusion.
“So, are you still going to take her with you?” Father asked casually.
Blake closed his eyes and his cheeks pushed up with teeth. I whispered his name softly, hoping that he
could take me with him.
He opened his eyes and took a deep breath, then put me down. When my feet touched the ground, I
felt chill.
“Blake…”
“Wait for me. I promise that I’ll come back for you,” Blake said, his gaze was deep and gentle.
“Don’t…” Tears started streaming down my face.
Blake took my hand and planted a kiss on it. “Trust me, I swear that I’ll be back for you in no time.”
He let go of my hand and took a few steps back. He glared coldly at my father and warned, “Dean
Baker, I leave her here. If I find out anything bad happened to her, your entire pack will go through hell!”
Father’s gaze dark and his expression turn stern, “Chloe’s my daughter. Your worries are unfounded. If
you want to protect her, you should save yourself first.”
Blake clenched into tight fists and his gaze fell on me again. He shot me a gentle smile before walking
away.
“No… Blake. Don’t leave me here. Take me with you…”
I screamed, running after him. But the guards at the door stopped me. All I could do was watch Blake’s
figure disappear from my sight as the metal door shut.
I slumped on the ground and sobbed.
Why wouldn’t he just take me with him? I was fearless and I could endure any pains as long as he took
me with him!
But he didn’t…He leave me here…Leave me alone…
I shot my father a hateful glare. Why wouldn’t he just let me leave? He had never once regarded me as
his daughter.
Why was he so insistent on making me stay?
As I was in unspeakable agony, Vanessa’s mocking voice came into my mind.
“You must be wondering why father wouldn’t banish you, right?”
“Poor guy…It’s because…”
Vanessa didn’t continue to say that but let out a mischievous smile toward me. Then she bent over and
clutched at her heart.
“Father… Mother… it hurts…” she cried out weakly.
Everyone began to swarm around her. My father picked her up and made quick strides to the door.
When he walked past me, he gave me a cold glance and demanded, “Follow me. Vanessa needs your
blood now.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
My limbs grew cold as he left and my heart shattered at the next words Vanessa spoke, “It’s because
you’re my personal blood bank!”
