Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 19

I sat on the ground, looking at the calm lake in front of me.

I felt the cold breeze on my face. Despite the calm atmosphere, my heart and my mind was in a mess.

"Going back to the Red Moon Pack..." I muttered before shaking my head.

My heart was clear where it stood. I didn't want to see my father and neither did I have the intention of

seeing Vanessa. They were my family and we shared the same blood... but what the two of them have

given me was nothing but pain and suffering. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

'Also...' I thought as I furrowed my brows. 'Once she sees me... I don't know how Vanessa will react.'

But more than her... What I'm scared about is my father...After everything that has happened... How

could I face him?

"But if I don't return..." I bit my lower lip hard. "...how will Blake's poison be cured?" My heart trembled.

The only person who possessed the antidote was my father. Of course, I could just continue studying

the poison and concocting the antidote myself. But the poison was too complex. How long would it take

me to discover the antidote?

Most importantly... Could Blake's body hold on until I found the cure? My heart dropped, I could not

even dare to start thinking of the worst possible scenario.

I hugged my legs and buried my head on my knees. Since night time was approaching, the wind that

blew on me started to get chilly.

My mind was filled with conflicting thoughts.

"If only I wasn't in the Red Moon Pack... No... if only I wasn't born from a cruel father...My life would be

much... easier..." I mumbled with a voice filled with helplessness.

"C-Chloe...."

"Chloe!!!" A loud voice rang in my ears, startling me from my thoughts.

I turned around and looked behind me. There I saw Carrie who was slightly panting. Her pretty face

was flushed and there were small beads of sweat on her forehead. It looked like she was running for a

long time.

"So you were here. I was looking for you for a long time!" Carrie hurriedly said before I could even

process the situation.

"A-ah?" I blinked once before I realized that the sun had already set. I rubbed my ears, feeling a little

embarrassed.

"I'm sorry..." I started to explain. "I found this lake while I was walking..."

"It's so beautiful that I forgot the time..." I awkwardly added.

"Well, it doesn't matter!" Carrie said before grabbing my hand. "Let’s hurry and return. The party is

about to start!" She talked excitedly before dragging me back to the pack house.

A few minutes later, I was looking at a very lively scene. My eyes couldn't help but widen as I stood at

the entrance of a beautiful garden.

"So you mean... you do this every month?" I asked incredulously.

"That's right!" Carrie chuckled. Her laughter sounded like chimes of bells. It was very pleasant to hear.

"Every month, my brother will give all the women of the pack a day off. Then us women will hold a party

and spend time with each other," Carrie started to explain.

"Well, this is the day when we mainly eat, play and gossip with each other. During this gathering, we

forget everything about hierarchy! Everyone just needs to play and relax!" She added before grabbing

my hand once more and bringing me inside the hall.

The sound of laughter immediately surrounded my ears. Slowly, I moved my gaze around the place.

The garden was huge but it seemed to be filled with women who were laughing and joking with each

other. There was a lot of food and drinks. Even though it looked like a casual party, the happy energy

that everyone was exuding was something I have never experienced before.

'This place... is this really the Silver Pack?' I thought as my heart warmed. 'So different... it's indeed so

different from the rumors...'

"The Luna is here!" Suddenly, someone shouted. The buzz disappeared as everyone started looking in

my direction. My face felt warm from embarrassment as the smile on my face turned stiffly.

'Luna... it’s embarrassing to hear them say that...' I thought as I awkwardly rubbed my nose.

When I was at a loss on what to do, someone grabbed my hand. My eyes widened as I looked at a

familiar face. It was the maid that brought me food!

"Let’s go, Luna. I'll bring you to the best place in the garden!" She eagerly told me before pulling me

into the crowd.

As I was surrounded by people, I heard bits and parts of their conversations.

"Wow, when did you cut your hair!"

"Last week! My husband said I would look better with this cut. At first I didn't believe him... but he

turned out to be correct!" The woman beside me posed and showed off her new hairstyle.

"Your husband has good eyes. But my mate is better! Look at this!" Someone butted in their

conversation.

"This is the limited edition bracelet that he imported from France. Isn't it so lovely?" The woman raised

her wrist and flaunted her bracelet.

"This wench! How are you so lucky!" The first woman shouted before the group was filled with loud

laughter.

I watched them earnestly. Clearly, they were showing off but weren't jealous of each other. I felt a little

dazed.

"Erm Luna... would you like some cake?" The maid asked me. On her hands were two slices of cake.

One strawberry and the other was blueberry.

"A-ah... Anything is fine..." I told her before subconsciously looking at the blueberry cake.

The maid saw my gaze, gave me a knowing smile, before handing me the slice of the blueberry cake. I

felt my face burning from embarrassment as I shyly received the cake from her.

I looked at the cake. It looked soft and creamy. The blueberries on top of it made my mouth water.

My eyes turned warm. I suddenly felt emotional. After that time when my father brought me the

blueberry cake, I thought that I would never like it anymore. But now... surrounded by the warm

atmosphere from the Silver Pack... I felt that I once again fell in love with the blueberry cake once

more!

A couple of minutes later, I finally felt relaxed and started to talk with everyone. True to what Carrie

said, in this party, everyone really did not care about social hierarchy. Everyone was talking and having

fun like old friends.

"So Carrie, how is your progress with Dr. Arthur? Could you have him this time?" Suddenly, someone

asked. Surprised, I looked at Carrie whose face turned bright red.

"That's right! You were bragging that you'll capture him the last time. But earlier I saw him avoiding you.

So what is your real status? Should these older sisters give you tips?" Another joined the conversation.

"Well..." Carrie looked up from her plate shyly. "I'm sure he'll accept me soon..."

"You go girl! That's our Carrie!" Someone whistled before the others started cheering her up.

"But Carrie... what will happen if Arthur is not your mate?" It was a single question but everyone

immediately turned quiet upon hearing it.

Carrie shook her head. "No. I truly believe Arthur is my mate," she replied. "And... even if he's not... he

will be the only one that I want..." Carrie added, her eyes were shining with determination.

I watched her, my eyes were filled with admiration. 'To be firmly chosen by someone... Dr. Arthur must

be happy,' I thought as I lowered my eyes.

If my father has firmly chosen me... if Alan has firmly stood by my side... How happy could I be?

'But it doesn't matter anymore,' I thought. 'Because from now on, I firmly choose to be with Blake.' A

small smile appeared on my lips as I felt something ticklish in my heart.

"Then, let's hear from the Luna?" I heard someone say, waking me up from my thoughts. I looked up

and saw everyone looking at me with expectation.

"Yes, Luna. Can you tell us some story about you and our King?"

"Oh...! I want to hear the story about how our King and our Luna met!" I was surrounded with

questions.

Every time I heard them call me Luna, my ears felt warm. I awkwardly cleared my throat and looked at

them timidly.

"Um... I'm not used to being called Luna so... I hope everyone can call me by my name..." I said with a

quiet voice.

The crowd turned silent upon hearing me. 'Did I say something wrong?' I subconsciously took a step

backwards, wanting the ground to swallow me whole.

It was then when an older woman stepped forward and flashed me with a kind smile.

"We can do that," she said with a friendly voice. "If you want, we can wait until your ceremony as the

Luna before we can officially call you as our Luna," she added.

"T-that's right!" Someone hurriedly agreed. "Previously... we were too excited and couldn't help

ourselves but to call you our Luna..."

"Although you are a member of the Red Moon Pack, you helped detoxify our pack members. You are

helping to detoxify our King..." She added. I subconsciously covered my arm and smiled awkwardly.

"I also agree. Our pack likes you very much, Chloe. We realized that we misunderstood you before..."

The girl beside her said.

"After all, your pack used you as an excuse to poison our king... we thought you were the same as the

people in your pack--" She continued to explain.

My hands froze before I looked at the girl in shock. "W-what did you say?" I subconsciously cut her off.

"Did you just say... that Blake was poisoned because my pack threatened Blake using me?"
