I looked up and squinted as the sun brightly shone in the sky. It was a good day, and the Red Moon Pack was bustling.
"I'm so excited! The inauguration ceremony is about to start!"
"Me too! I can't wait until Vanessa becomes our new alpha!"
The members of the pack gossiped as I passed by. Everyone was in a great mood as they happily awaited the start of the inauguration ceremony. I tried to tune them out, but when I heard my name, I could not help but listen intently.
"Our pack's future is very bright! Thank goodness our Alpha didn't choose Chloe, that useless daughter, to be our next alpha," I heard the maid who was carrying some cleaning supplies said. Beside her was another maid who was carrying a big bucket.
"You're right! The Alpha is thinking for the sake of our future," the other maid replied. "Anyway... do you have news on what happened to Chloe? We didn't hear anything about her ever since she left the pack," she added, sounding curious.
"Why are you even asking? There's a high probability that she's dead!" The first maid declared with certainty. "Plus, the Alpha does not even care about what happened to her... We shouldn't care about her either!"
I listened to their conversation. Although I felt sour, I did not care so much about it like before.
When the two maids passed by where I and Arthur were standing, they stopped and saluted before going away. I watched their backs as they were leaving and could not help but let out a sigh.
"It seems like I'm not Chloe anymore," I muttered. "See? Everyone doesn't seem to hate me so much anymore," I softly added. Beside me, Arthur reached out and patted me on the shoulder. He seemed to think that I was sad and was comforting me. I looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine," I reassured him. "Let's hurry and go to the ceremony."
At the grand ceremony, I found my father and Lisa sitting at the main seats. My father had a serious look on his face while Lisa appeared to be very happy. I furrowed my brows and started feeling annoyed. Lisa must have been so happy. After all, this was the moment she was looking forward to for a long time.
Everyone was already in their assigned places, waiting for the new alpha to appear. Finally, after a couple of seconds, the door of the hall was slowly pushed open. Then, Vanessa appeared wearing a golden long dress and had an exquisite makeup on her face. Escorting her was Alan who was also wearing a suit. They looked like a perfect couple.
I stopped looking at them and lowered my eyes, somehow feeling defeated. Vanessa seemed to be born as the main protagonist. Every time she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
'I got nothing to do with it now,' my eyes flashed.
'I just hope that you take the burden of the pack. I pray that you lead the Red Moon Pack to a bright future,' I wished in my heart.
I walked towards Blake, only to see that the beta who came with us already returned. He leaned towards Blake and whispered something. I did not think much of it and watched as Vanessa walked towards father. When she reached him, my father began to preside over the inauguration ceremony.
"Thank you for coming, everyone," he started to say. "Through the years, the Red Moon Pack has been building great relationships with each and every one of you. I'm glad that our efforts bloomed. You are all here to witness the inauguration ceremony of our new alpha," he said as everyone clapped their hands.
"Now, may I introduce to you my beloved daughter, Vanessa Baker." As my father spoke, Vanessa slowly walked towards him, and they shared a smile.
