Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 138

Chloe's POV

"There were three of them. They were being stealthy and tried to mingle with the locals. Actually, they were pretty skilled. If not for our barriers, we wouldn't notice them." Allan gave his report before sending me a glance.

We were in my office, at the cabin where I live in the middle of the woods. Right after discovering the presence of the three werewolves in the town, I immediately sent Allan to investigate.

"But before I could arrive at the town, for some reason, the three of them suddenly turned around and left…" Allan uttered his concern, a thread of worry woven into his voice.

"This place is pretty hidden… We have never been discovered before. Alpha, could it be that we were followed when we were returning from the previous assassination?" He was trying to look calm, but he could not see the concern and anxiety in his eyes.

I met Allan's straightforward gaze. All of us have changed, and that includes Allan.

He has always been an excellent head sentinel in the past. But after that incident five years ago, the night when the Red Moon Pack fell, the burden of guilt and regret lay heavily upon his shoulder.

Although he didn't say anything, I know that Allan reproached himself for not being able to shield the pack from harm. In the past five years, he pushed himself to his limits to attain even greater strength and prowess. Were it not for the exceptional medicines I provided, his relentless pursuit of strength might have exacted a heavy toll on his own body. Allan became stronger, much stronger than he used to be.

Despite his new strength, Allan never once showed a sign of resistance toward me, who suddenly took over Vanessa, his mate’s place, as the Alpha.

I could vividly recall the night when Vanessa abdicated her leadership in my favor. In a poignant gesture of loyalty, in front of everyone, Allan fell to his knees before me, vowing to protect and support my role as the new Alpha.

Since then, Allan had remained unwaveringly supportive and respectful, to the point that sometimes, he made me think that he held me in higher regard than even my own father, the previous Alpha. And from that moment on, he never called me by my name, and only called me by my title.

I furrowed my brows before looking outside the window. I pondered Allan's question…

'Could it be that we might have unwittingly attracted an unwanted following during our return from the previous mission?' I furrowed my brows before replying,

"That shouldn't be the case. I checked at least five times that night. No one even noticed our presence while we were in the territory of the Blood Hounds. The chances that we were followed is very low."

"Then… Could it be that those three were just passing sentinels?" Allan frowned. "But their presence here is strange… Also, I think it's more strange how they suddenly left… I don't have a good feeling about this…"

I looked at the trees outside the window. The branches of the trees slowly swing with the wind, making everything look peaceful. But for some reason, the peacefulness seemed fragile, as if it was about to break. I spent a few seconds staring at the quietness, a foreboding feeling started to appear in my heart. I sighed before turning to look at Allan.

"Do you have any more information about them? Did a lot of locals see them?" I asked him.

"I've already investigated, only a few locals saw them… all of them thought that they almost didn't notice the presence of these intruders if not for guiding them through our questions… Based on that alone, we can already conclude that the intruders are highly-skilled… not a lot of packs have highly-skilled spies. Alpha, I am afraid they are someone from the Blood Hound Pack…"

"If you give me permission, I will leave the territory to investigate," Allan said, already redying himself to fulfill my order.

I thought for a while before shaking my head. "That's not necessary."

"Like you said, the intruders are very skilled. If not for the special barriers we specifically put up, you wouldn't even notice their presence. Allan, I am afraid that instead of helping us, following them now would only bring us trouble," I added before standing up, intending to leave my office.

"But Alpha, it will be disastrous if our location is already discovered!" Alan started to protest.

“I know. That’s why I am planning on going out to check for myself,” I simply replied.

“Alpha…! We have only just begun… It is not advisable for us to let you move so often like this…” Allan started to protest.
