Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 6

My mind was dazed before I recognized what was happening. I almost fell onto the ground as my body trembling vehemently.

Why? Father had accepted Blake into the pack and promised he would treat us well.

What on earth had happened?

“Where are they?” I asked anxiously.

One of the maids rolled her eyes at me and mocked, “Why the hell would we tell you?”

“Leave away from us! We’re busy with work! We don’t have time to…”

“Damn! Just tell me where they are right now!” I blurt out in sudden rage, and my eyes constricted with anger.

My roar frightened them. They cringed and stammered, “They… they’re in the basement.”

Something pierced through my chest while their response rang in my ears. I gritted my teeth and ran to the basement without looking back.

I could still hear the two maids whispering with each other behind me.

“What the hell? Why’d she get so intimidating all of a sudden?”

“Tsk…Did you see that? I saw something horrible flashed in her eyes…”

The maids’ voices faded as the distance between us further. I didn’t mind what they think of me, the only one I cared about was Blake…My mate.

As I arrived at the basement, I could hear my father roaring in a fury. My whole body trembled as his thunder voice echoed around the basement.

“Expel this lowly Rogue out of our pack!”

“No! Father!” I shouted, rushing into my father.

Everyone’s gaze fell on me but my eyes fixed on Blake, who was curling up on the floor. His limbs were bound by thick iron chains. His lips had turned purple, and his eyes were black and blue. The veins on his arms and forehead protruded out, and his white shirt had soaked with sweat.

It was the symptom of poison…

Blake had been poisoned!

My heart sank to the bottomless ground, and my breathing was quick and uneven. Feeling my gaze, Blake glanced at me but quickly averted his eyes.

I pulled the guards away and rushed over to Blake’s side. I wanted to help him up but my father stopped me.

“Chloe! What are you doing?” He asked in a cold inquisitorial voice.

It had been ages since I’d seen him so angry.

I took a deep breath and swallowed my anger, “Father, what happened? Why did you poison Blake? Why are you banishing him!?”

“He was trying to steal lethal poison from our castle!” Vanessa interjected. “Everyone knows that the castle is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter it without father’s permission.”

I felt my heart drop to my stomach. If Vanessa’s words were true, my father would definitely punish Blake by using the cruelest means.

I looked down at Blake with worries. A smile lifted the corner of his mouth. He let out a disdainful sneer, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

“Blake, did you—”

“Don’t worry about me. Leave now!” Blake interrupted my words with a cold voice.

His indifference stunned me. But I knew his intentions. I knew he acted like that so as not to drag me down with him.

My nose twitched as I held Blake’s hand tightly. I whispered in his ears, “No, we will get through it together.”

Blake’s lips moved soundlessly. He stared at me unblinkingly, a hint of guilt flash across his eyes.

“Enough!” Father barked out. He glared at me coldly before instructing the guards next to me, “Get her out of here.”

“Yes, Alpha!” The guards rushed over and gripped my arm tightly.

“No, don’t touch me!” I pushed the guards away with all my might and turned to look at my father. I begged desperately, “Father, please! Please investigate it first. Blake didn’t steal anything!!”

“I watched him steal the poison from the castle with my eyes!” Vanessa said with a smug on her face.

Her words struck me and I yelled at her, “It was you, wasn’t it? You set Blake up!”

“What are you talking about? Why would Vanessa do anything like that?” Lisa hurriedly pulled Vanessa into a protective embrace, then turned toward father. “Dear, I think Chloe’s gone insane! She’s trying to frame her sister to protect a lowly rogue!”

Vanessa was lying in Lisa's arms, looking at father with tears. Trembling with anger, I was about to retort but my father gave the guards a grim order, "What are you guys standing around for? Get her out of here! Then throw this rouge over the border!"

“No! Father, please don’t expel Blake. I beg you. Blake is innocent!” I shouted with tears. But my father turned deaf ears to my pleas.

The guards prised my fingers off Blake’s hand, intending to pull me away.

My words couldn’t change anything. Father would rather kill those he considered threats out of precaution. He would not spare their lives only to have them cause trouble later on. I knew that there was no way he would let Blake off easily. Even though he knew that the man was my mate and I would suffer miserably without him.

If that were the case…

“Father, if you insist on banishing Blake, then please banish me as well,” I shouted hysterically.

Everyone turned to look at me in surprise and regarded me as a madman.

Father squinted his eyes and asked coldly, “What did you say?”

“I want to leave with Blake,” I reiterated firmly.

“How dare you say that? Do you think you can leave here in this life?” Father suddenly let out a cold chuckle.
