Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 20

Everyone looked at me in astonishment.

"Ah? She didn't know--?" The girl beside me started to ask before her friend elbowed her, signaling her to stop. The garden was suddenly filled with awkwardness.

"Come on! What's with the atmosphere?" Carrie, who was surprisingly holding a glass of wine in each of her hands, stood up. "We are all here to relax and play. Come on! Everyone grab a glass of wine!" She said cheerfully while winking at the crowd.

After receiving Carrie's instruction, everyone started grabbing a glass of wine. "T-that's right! Let's go and get wasted!" Their reactions seemed a bit forced at first. But after a soft while, the place was again filled with laughter and merriment.

"It's the night to get drunk!" They cheered, completely lifting up the atmosphere.

'Oh,' I thought before awkwardly grabbing my own glass of wine. 'It seems like they don't want to answer my question.' Slightly frowning, I started sipping the wine.

The night went on and I became immersed in the party, completely forgetting my earlier question. Around me, everyone talked and laughed, but I couldn’t understand them anymore. I was only focused on the empty glass of wine in my hand.

"I never thought that red wine tastes so good," I mumbled to myself before putting the glass on the table. "But do I feel a little dizzy? I only had two glasses..." I added before a small hiccup escaped my throat.

I felt a hug coming from my back before I heard a sweet voice in my ears. "Sisterrrrrr!!!" Carrie, who looked more drunk than me, pulled me in a tight embrace.

"You smell so goooood~ Did you put a perfume on?~~" She slightly swayed, putting her entire weight on me, making me slightly stumble. Fortunately, two pairs of arms hurriedly supported us.

"Geeez Carrie. How can you be this drunk every time~~" A pretty girl said. Even though she said those words, her face was also pretty flushed.

"Come, don't trouble the Luna if you don't want the King to come after you!" The other girl laughed before pulling Carrie off me.

It was the end of the party. Everyone has started to go home, drunk and with a big smile on their faces.

"Do you also need support?" The older woman who earlier helped me out smiled. I smiled and shook my head.

"I'm okay. I want to walk by the lake before returning," I told her.

"Then, please be careful," she told me.

A few minutes later, I was by the lake once more. Although it was late at night, the midnight sky was so clear. Up above, I could see the moon and the stars shining brightly, as if they were smiling down on me.

I touched my hot face, my mind starting to ponder. The words that I earlier heard at the party floated in my mind.

'Could I... really be the reason why Blake was poisoned?' I frowned.

'If that's true... then at that time... If I didn't beg my father to take Blake in...'

'Then he wouldn't suffer from being poisoned.' I felt a painful twitch in my heart.

I stared at the calm lake. There were small ripples on the water that were caused by the cold breeze that blew on my face.

It has only been a few days. But being with Blake... living together with him in the Silver Pack, I have never felt more alive.

I gripped the hem of my shirt, my eyes filled with resolution. 'I'll do everything...' I swore under the moonlight. 'Whatever it takes, I'll do everything to cure Blake.'

'Even if it means returning to the Red Moon Pack.'
