Liam assumed his mother would be relieved if he said this, but the mother in his arms struggled to break free and slapped Liam on the left cheek. ‘Beast! How could I possibly raise a beast like you! If you recognise me as your mother today, please return to the main den with me! Watch what the she-wolf next to you did to the Black Moon Pack eight moons ago!’
The slap stunned Liam.
From puppyhood to adulthood, his mother has always been gentle and loving.
She has never hit him.
Liam’s mother breathed heavily while speaking.
This time he was very scared.
His mum had a serious heart condition.
Since his father died, he has paid special attention to his mother’s health.
He was worried that his attitude would enrage his mother.
Liam eventually let go of Nova’s hand.
He sighed as he looked at the mother standing in front of him.
‘Okay, Mother, I’ll go back with you. Don’t get angry.
After that, he turned around and softly comforted Nova, saying, “Nova, I’ll return after I get my mother back.” You wait for me here obediently. Don’t worry.’ He then left with his mother.
On the way back, the mother kept wiping her tears in the back of the carrier.
Liam felt helpless and unsure how to comfort her.
But, given his mother’s resolute expression just now, he was curious about what she was going to show him.
The mother and son remained silent throughout the journey.
Soon, the carrier drove into the old den.
The altar in the centre of the main chamber held a prey offering with moon candles blown out.
Liam recognised that today was Isabelle’s birth moon.
With the scene in front of him, he was more certain of his guess.
Sure enough, his mother showed up at the scene today because Isabelle had come to see him.
He became extremely relaxed for no apparent reason.
Just as he was about to sit on the den floor and drink some water, his mother pointed to his father’s private chamber and said to him in a deep voice:
‘Liam, come in with me.
The hand holding the water skin hung in the air.
After some thought, Liam laid down the water skin.
He straightened his ceremonial fur and accompanied his mother into his father’s private chamber.
When his father was alive, the private chamber was off-limits to the pack.
Even though his father was no longer present, entering his father’s private chamber was a serious matter.
The mother discovered the pack history scroll that his father frequently read on his shelf.
She carefully removed a scented envelope from the yellowed parchment, turned around, and gave it to Liam.
When she looked up at Liam again, her eyes welled up with tears.
‘Look, Liam, this is the last thing your father has left behind. ‘
Looking at the yellowed envelope in front of him.
His heart also grew heavy.
He opened the envelope with care, just like his mother would.
A few thin pieces of parchment fell into his hand.
Unfolding it revealed his father’s familiar strong claw marks.
[Liam, your father was an Alpha in the pack world for half of his life, but he eventually fell. Your father does not want you to behave like this. The pack world is as dangerous as a territorial conflict. I hope you’ll be cautious everywhere in the future… Be especially cautious of the Obsidian Moon Pack. Nova’s father and she pushed our pack off the cliff…
