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

'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.
