Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 27

My father looked at Blake with meaningful eyes. The entire hall fell into deafening silence.

All of us were looking at Blake, some of the members of the other packs looked convinced and were nodding their heads in agreement.

Some of the members of the Red Moon Pack had ghastly and fearful faces, while the others, like Alan, were looking at Blake with rage.

"You...! What did you just say? How dare you openly threaten us!" Alan yelled as he started to step forward Blake, ready to start a fight. My father grabbed his arm before he could take a step.

"Stop," father ordered with an authoritative voice. Alan's eyes widened with surprise. He could not believe my father just stopped him.

"But Alpha--" He started to protest but my father raised a hand and cut him off. Alan's face turned from white to red. He pressed his lips together and glared at Blake instead.

Seeing that Alan stood down, my father turned to Blake before saying, "I will find the murderer within three days." Only a few minutes have passed but he looked like he aged ten years.

The entire hall was again filled with whispers. Anxiety started to fill my heart. I bit my lower lip as I looked at Blake. 'How... How can he say that? I thought he would help my father...'

"B-Blake--" I subconsciously called for him before I caught myself. I started to walk towards Blake.

"Wait a second...!" Arthur, who was standing beside me, caught my arm and stopped me.

"What are you doing?" He hurriedly asked me with anxiety.

"I have to talk to him..." I replied with a panicked voice, totally forgot I can't speak now, thankfully no one noticed what I just did.

Arthur looked at me and let out a sigh.

"Calm down. You cannot approach him now. There are so many eyes around!" Alan lowered his voice and explained to me.

"Don't worry. Blake is just trying to buy time for Alpha Dean," Arthur added,trying to reassure me.

I stared at him and heard his words. Yet, I was still dubious, my uneasy mood could not be relieved.

I just could not stay still and remain not doing anything. After everyone left, I went to investigate the situation.

I looked at and examined the poisoned people by myself and found that the poison in their bodies was indeed a poison coming from the Red Moon Pack. More than that, the method of using the poison was exactly the same method of the pack.

'They used the same method as what is taught in the pack. But... father would never use this method himself,' I thought with furrowed brows.

'It's also such an important occasion. Father would certainly not ruin it by poisoning his guests...' my eyes flashed. 'I have to tell Blake about this. Blake can maybe ask my father to investigate the people who are familiar with the pack's poison and see who has any grudge against the pack,' I thought before I went over to Blake's room.

The door of Blake's room was slightly ajar. I lightly knocked before opening the door. "Bla--" I started to call him but stopped. Because I saw Vanessa was inside his room!

Vanessa looked at me with surprise. "So she can talk? I thought your beta was a mute," Vanessa commented. Her voice sounded calm and sweet, but I felt chills down to my spine.

I lowered my head and kept silent. I did not dare speak anymore.
