Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 88

Blake’s POV

“Are the list for the food items already done?” A senior member of the Silver Pack asked a younger werewolf.

“The list is already prepared. It’s just I heard they are having a hard time looking for some ingredients...”

“Actually, those ingredients were prepared before... but during the attack, everything became wasted,” another said while shaking her head.

“No worries. Everything is good. What matters most is everyone is alive and well. Our king is also doing fine. Now we just have to focus on preparing Carrie’s birthday party...” the senior werewolf said.

“That’s right! Let’s work hard to prepare a grand party!” The other replied.

Carrie’s birthday party was right around the corner and the members of the Silver Pack thrown themselves into preparing it.

Inside my study, I looked at the window and gazed upon the flurry of activity surrounding me. Suddenly, I could not help but feel a heavy weight settling into the pit of my stomach.

The vibrant colors and cheerful chatter of the pack members only served to highlight the emptiness that seemed to engulf me. My tired mind seemed like a maze filled with conflicting thoughts and emotions... and I felt lost... lost in its labyrinthine depths.

I watched as my pack members scurried about, their energy palpable in the air. Everyone was excitedly preparing for Carrie's eighteenth birthday party, a momentous occasion for any wolf... the event that everyone was looking forward to.

As her brother, I was also one of those looking forward for this event. But at that moment, I could help but feel down as my mind again became filled with Chloe’s beautiful face.

Chloe... as the Luna of the Silver Pack, it was always her responsibility to prepare for celebrations like this. In fact, when she was still here, she has began preparing for Carrie’s birthday.

‘That day, you have a big smile on your face when you talked to Carrie about the theme of her party...’

‘The two of you were so excited that time... Even arguing about the motif of the party...’ I thought, a sad smile appearing on my face.

‘I never would have thought that you would leave even before Carrie’s birthday.’

Her eyes that sparkled with every simple things... Her smile, that never failed to comfort me...

Could it be considered that I was remembering them when I never forgot about them in the first place?

A deep sigh escape in my throat as I continued to watch my busy pack members.

With Chloe gone, the responsibility of preparing for Carrie’s birthday had fallen on my shoulders. As the Alpha of the pack and the only family that Carrie had left, it was my duty to make sure that her eighteenth birthday was celebrated in grand style. I did everything that I could and tried to prepare Carrie’s party as carefully as possible.

But despite my best efforts to stay focused on the task at hand, I found my mind wandering.

Chloe's words echoed through my mind and continued to haunt me.

Chloe told me... that the Silver Pack was a pressure to her... and that pressure was such a heavy burden to the point that it forced her to leave.

I watched at the busy figure of my pack members. Some of them were carrying stuff and going around the pack. On the other hand, other were busy with the preparing the decorations. Despite the serious problems that our pack just faced, all of them had cheerful and hopeful expressions.

A sad chuckle escaped my lips, the bitter sound carrying the weight of resignation and longing.

Looking at the faces of my pack members... I knew that I could not simple discard my position and leave the pack, especially now when there were dangers lurking in every corners.
