52 Chapter 52: SilverFang Pack
Gale turned around and faced Blaze Silverfang, who stood not far from him, awaiting his order.
“Do you know why I take you out of the kingdom tonight?” Gale asked.
“To hunt for Rock Silverfang, Your Majesty,” Blaze replied.
“Indeed, we need to find that bastard who dared to lust over my mate, attacked her, and then ran away like a wimpy little dog,” Gale sneered. He said it like a joke, but Blaze took a deep breath as he knew his king had a murderous intention. “Take me to pack’s domain. I want to talk to the elder.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty.”
Blaze shifted into his wolf form and led the way to his pack’s domain.
your
Gale could’ve come to the Silverfang pack domain all by himself, but he brought Blaze as a diplomat because he had no patience dealing with the elders.
He was already angry, knowing that his beta betrayed him, and if Rock’s pack also betrayed him, he could’ve wiped them out in a fit of rage.
The Silverfang pack’s domain was located near the mountain, surrounded by jagged rocks as a natural defense against enemies. It was also where they got their pack name ey got their pack name Silverfangs, as they had a strange culture of biting those rocks while in their wolf form to ensure that their bites would be deadly.
Blaze howled as they were nearing the territory. Once they arrived, the elder were already kneeling at the entrance to greet the Beast King.
The elder bowed despite his advanced age and said, “Greetings to the Beast King, the mighty-”
“I don’t need your praises, not when someone from your pack has betrayed me,” Gale interrupted curtly.
Loud gasps were coming from the pack members, and Gale could see the look of horrors from the elder. He sneered as he guessed it right, “Rock must’ve returned to his pack after he escaped, right?”
There was no clear answer from the elders, and Gale’s patience got thinner.
He gave Blave a signal to sneak and the latter quickly took over the conversation

52 Chapter 52: SilverFang Pack
“This is a serious situation. Our pride, Rock Silverfang, had lusted over His Majesty’s mate and attacked her. He was locked in the castle’s dungeon but escaped the same night,” Blaze explained. “I know some of you might have a sentimental feeling for Rock, but the fate of our pack depends on this. I–as the second strongest after Rock Silverfang–plead with you to tell us where he is right now, or I cannot guarantee anyone’s safety.”
Everyone in the Silverfang pack began to glance at each other in worry. Then, they looked at the Beast King in fear before glaring at the elder who became their representative, silently urging him to report what they knew about Rock.
It was true that they valued their previous Alpha, Rock Silverfang, but once he had been defeated, they had to follow the strongest no matter what. If the Beast King wanted them dead, they couldn’t do anything to save themselves.
The elder was in deep thought before he turned around and ordered, “Bring his mother
in.”
Two female wolves grabbed a woman from the crowd and brought her forward. She was forced to kneel in front of Gale before the elder continued, “This is Rock Silverfang’s mother. She is the only one from our clan to meet Rock early this morning.”
The elder glanced at the middle–aged female wolf, who looked frail, and a trace of worry appeared on his face, “Your Majesty, you can ask anything about Rock to her, but please don’t kill her. She is still a mother despite her son’s sin.”
“Whether I will kill her or not depends on her answer,” Gale replied coldly. He looked down at the middle–aged frail lady and ordered, “Lift your head.”
The lady lifted her head, staring at the Beast King without fear in her eyes. Gale was quite surprised by this, especially when Gale could’ve killed her easily.
“Tell me, where did you meet with Rock? Did he
come into your den?”
Rock’s mother shook her head, “No, Your Majesty. I met him when I was out near the river to wash myself. I saw him looking tired, but he seemed unharmed.”
“Unharmed, you say?” Gale frowned.
Jade told him that he was given muscle relaxants. He was also chained by steel chains which would be impossible to break, while he was doused with muscle relaxant.
So how could he escape and travel back to his pack unharmed?

“Then, where is he now? Did he tell you where he is going?” Gale inquired more. “And don’t even try to lie. I can tell when someone is lying or not.”
Rock’s mother stared at him with a wronged expression, as if Gale had hurt her son.
But she still replied, “I asked him what happened. He told me that he had sinned greatly, but didn’t specify. He just said that he apologized for bringing shame to the pack, and will find a way to redeem himself.”
“Did he leave after that?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. He simply walked to the south and never returned,” Rock’s mother confirmed. She looked sad as she recalled her son who looked haggard. She still remembered Rock’s bloodshot eyes full of guilt and anger. “Your Majesty, is… is there a way for you to forgive my son’s sin?”
“Jira!” The elder scolded Rock’s mother instantly, knowing that it was already
impossible to forgive Rock Silverfang for lusting over the Beast King’s mate, let alone for attacking her. “Y–Your Majesty, please don’t listen to her. She is just emotional, but we know that what he has done is egregious!”
Gale was quiet for a while before responding calmly, “I would kill him on sight, there is no other way. Not after he almost hurt my mate.”
Gale looked down at Rock’s mother who was crying and said, “Do not worry about his corpse. If I ever kill him, I’d make sure to leave his body intact, so you can give him a proper burial. That is the mercy I can give to a treacherous bastard.”
