Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 185

Blake

The entire hall was engulfed in an atmosphere so tense that it seemed as if the very air had congealed. Every person present, without exception, found themselves sinking to their knees, their faces a tableau of shock and terror. A palpable tremor of fear coursed through some, causing them to quiver uncontrollably.

In the middle of the hall, like a tempest about to unleash its fury, stood Kain. His countenance was a mask of seething rage, his eyes ablaze with a murderous intent that seemed to pierce the souls of all who met his gaze.

I, too, assumed a facade of clumsiness, allowing my body to slump to the ground. With my head bowed low, I concealed my true emotions, lest anyone discern the hint of satisfaction that danced in my eyes.

My covert thoughts whispered, 'We've endured a long wait to witness this very reaction from Kain... Now that it has finally materialized in front of me, I can't deny that it feels sweet,' all the while, my eyes gleaming icyly.

'You did very well, Chloe. I wish you can see this look on Kain's face right now,' I inwardly sniggered.

The room's oppressive atmosphere continued to intensify, causing even the most fragile among us to gasp for air. I hunched lower, also feigning the struggle for air as the silence within the hall grew more suffocating by the second. Finally, after agonizing minutes, Kain broke the silence that weighed upon us all.

"So, the entire southern base lies in ruins? It's all gone?" His voice, while quiet, carried the frigid undertones of a glacier's heart. The trembling man who had been reporting fell prostrate before him. He looked as if he was about to face death. And, he was not wrong about it.

"Yes, Alpha. We have lost all contact with the southern pack..." The man just started to speak when Kain waved his hand. Soon, two warriors came and brought the man who was screaming, begging for mercy. A cold feeling ran down on everyone's spine.

After displaying his ruthlessness, Kain's hand slammed down upon the chair's armrest with an earth-shaking force, shattering it into fragments and leaving a big dent in the floor.

My eyes narrowed at this display of raw power. It seemed like… Kain's strength grew even more in the past few weeks.

Slowly, Kain rose, his countenance remaining ice-cold. He turned his back to us as he addressed some with a quite yet icy voice, "Gauss."

After a pregnant pause, an older man with similar features to the late Alpha Dean stood up and bowed.

Based on how he moved, it seemed that he did not struggle a lot from Kain's pressure, showing that he was also quite powerful.

When I saw his face clearly, recognition struck me like a lightning bolt—it was Chloe's uncle, the original traitor of the Red Moon Pack, and the man who had poisoned Chloe's father.
