Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 126

Chloe's POV

After a few minutes, the four of us found ourselves in one of the secret locations within the pack house. The atmosphere was eerie, and the sound of my pounding heart was almost deafening. I was filled with nervousness and anxiety, particularly when I glanced at Allan, who was clearly in a bad state.

"Why don't you all head to the hidden cave by the canal of the western lake?" I suggested abruptly. "I'll meet you there, and then we can leave together," I added.

Lisa and Vanessa looked surprised at my proposal. "Why should we go ahead? Where do you plan on going?" asked Lisa.

"Where else? I'm going to gather the other members. Fortunately, most of them are grouped together. However, they can't leave their hiding spot because they're afraid of being discovered," I explained.

"As members of the alpha's family, we know the secret routes inside the pack house, but it's not the same for them," I clarified.

"W-wait!" Vanessa interjected. I turned to look at her and noticed a complex mix of emotions in her eyes. "What do you mean you'll pick up the other members? Do you... Do you know where they are?!" She asked, frustration evident in her gaze.

I raised an eyebrow, taken aback by her reaction. Then, I nodded. "Yes, I can sense their direction," I said before realization dawned on me. "Don't tell me... You can't feel where the other members are?"

An alpha is akin to the head of a person, representing the leader of the pack, while the members symbolize the body. The alpha and pack members share an inseparable connection, with the alpha being able to sense their presence, no matter where they are.

Vanessa, as the alpha of the Red Moon Pack, lacked this connection. A complex expression appeared in everyone's eyes until Vanessa let out a pained laugh, accepting defeat. "So, it's like this," she whispered harshly. "I thought there was something wrong with me for not feeling the connection with the pack..."

"But it seems that you're the one who has that connection," Vanessa's words carried heavy implications, leaving us all speechless. I closed my eyes, overwhelmed by a surge of emotions.

"Don't tell me that it's because... You're the true alpha—" Vanessa began, but I shook my head and shot her a sharp look.

"Does it really matter?" I snapped coldly. "Does it matter right now?" I continued, emphasizing the dire situation. "The pack is in ruins. More than half of the members are dead. So, tell me, does it still matter?"

Vanessa fell silent, her shoulders trembling with the weight of the realization. "Right now, I have to go and save the others. Go to the cave first," I instructed.

"You can wait for me, but ultimately, I can't order you to do anything," I told them before walking away. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Lisa flinch. However, before I could leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned back to find Vanessa staring at me intently.

"I'll go with you," she declared.

"Vanessa!" Lisa's eyes widened. She opened her mouth, as if to stop Vanessa, but halted upon seeing the determination in her eyes. Lisa paled, her body trembling, and eventually nodded, supporting Allan. "Then, be careful... both of you."
