Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 95

Blake's POV

“Lycan King Blake, your Luna came back to the red moon pack pregnant, yet why did I not see you coming to us to take her back at once?!”

'What did she say?'

I froze, my entire being shackled by an icy grip, rendering me motionless in the face of this incredulous revelation. It was as if the world had turned to stone, freezing the very essence of my existence. For the first time, I seemed to have crashed down. Never before had my mind been so bereft, a barren wasteland where thoughts dared not venture.

The words hung in the air, like a suspended melody that refused to resolve. They swirled in the hollow caverns of my consciousness, echoing wildly in my mind and defied comprehension.

‘No… could it be my imagination?’ I thought to myself. Those words… they were like a twisted mirage, a phantom whisper conjured by the capricious whims of my imagination?

‘Ya, hah! Surely, my ears had deceived me,’ I started to say.

Yet, as the weight of those words settled upon my soul, doubt gave way to a fragile hope…. a hope that was like a bud waiting to form into a flower in the embrace of spring.

‘No… it can’t be… can it?’ My hands started to tremble. ‘No… can I even… dare to entertain that it’s real?’ How could it be? How could the universe conspire to bestow such a profound blessing upon someone like me?

My beloved mate, Chloe, was she truly carrying life within her womb? The tendrils of hope snaked through the chambers of my heart, a tender flame that refused to be extinguished.

Suddenly, images of a future, painted in vivid hues, danced before my mind's eye.

Tiny white hands that gripped my calloused finger… an innocent face similar to the woman who I loved the most…

Upon that thought, my eyes turned cold as I looked upon Vanessa.

‘This woman… is she playing right now?’

Time, once a relentless tide, now stood motionless, caught in the entanglement of my disbelief. The seconds stretched into an eternity, the world suspended in a transient limbo, as I turned my gaze to Vanessa, the person who said this startling revelation.

“P-pregnant? Chloe is pregnant?” I asked with a bewildered tone.

I locked my gaze on Vanessa, my eyes transforming into icy orbs that mirrored the chill in my heart.

My brows tightened. Vanessa, a deceitful being, was someone who inflicted immense pain upon Chloe. During the Chloe’s entire childhood and until the time she left the Red Moon Pack, Vanessa caused her endless suffering.

How could such a cunning individual suddenly claim that Chloe was pregnant? Could it be that she is just trying to incite chaos between Chloe and I? The mere thought sent a surge of anger coursing through my veins.

Vanessa could sense the intensity of my stare and immediately froze. Although she was trying to hide it, her shoulders started to shake.

Fear enveloped her, casting a shadow over her face, as she began to shiver involuntarily. Clearly, she was afraid of me.

I continued to peer deeply into her eyes, searching for any trace of truth or deception. There was something... something that finally clicked within my mind.

It dawned on me that Vanessa, in her state of terror, should possess no courage to fabricate such a lie to my face. The fact that she cowered before me only strengthened my belief that she had no audacity to incite something. Thus, I froze once more.

If Vanessa did not lie… then could it really be?

I wasted no time and turned to look at Chloe. I was desperate… desperate to seek even a glimpse of truth within her eyes.

“Chloe, is that true? You are pregnant?” I asked once more, this time, my voice shook.
