Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 24

I hid at the corner of the room and panicked. Beside me, Arthur started to sweat. Both of us stayed still and did not dare move.

The sound of the door opening never been so clear.

Then, it was followed by a set of footsteps that became more and more clear by each passing second. It could only mean one thing... the person was walking closer and closer towards our direction! I felt a thump in my chest.

A few more seconds later, I realized something that made me even more nervous and afraid... The sounds of the footsteps were very similar...

My hands broke into sweat. I could no longer hold it in, as quietly as I could be, I took a peek at through the gap to make sure who came into the poison room. When I saw him, my entire body froze.

It’s father!

I looked at him and a cold sweats started dripping down my spine. Compared to when I saw him during the banquet, I was much closer to him... close enough to see that the hairs on his temply was much grayer.

I gripped the hem of my shirt.

If he was not the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, he... would look like a kind father.

Fortunately, my father did not seem to notice that anything was amiss. He continued to walk until he passed the corner where we were hidden. Then, he went straight to the the wall where a painting was hung.

My eyes widened in surprise as I saw him lifting up the painting, only to reveal a hidden safety box inside it!

It turned out that something like that hidden there! Arthur and I looked at each other.

'Don't tell me that is where he is hiding Blake's antidote?' My mind raised. Beside me, Arthur was also thinking the same.

We did not waste any time. Hurriedly, we turned our heads towards my father's direction and tried our best to see the passcode he entered.

Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful. All we ever saw was my father opening the box, putting an object in it, and returning it to its original place. Then, he left the poison room.

The moment my father left, Arthur and I went straight to the painting.

"Do you the passcode?" Arthur let out a harsh whisper.

I felt stumped but nevertheless shook my head. "I don't know... but I could try..." I told him honestly.

"Alright. Then please do your best," Arthur encouraged me. "But just so you know... this kind of safety box will give a loud alarm the moment you put in three wrong passcodes..."

"You must succeed within three tries... Unless you want the guards of the Red Moon Pack to surround us," he added with a shaking voice.

I gulped nervously. Then, lifting my hand, I put my father's birthday on the dials. Immediately, the dials turned red, telling us that I put a wrong passcode. I immediately retrieved my hand.

"T-this... is harder than how I thought..." I let out a nervous laughter.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then, I tried again. This time, I put in Vanessa's birthday. The dials instantly turned red again.

It was not even Vanessa's birthday. I was a little confused.

"Holy moly... This is nervewracking..." Beside me, Arthur rubbed his arms.
