Chapter 104
Chapter 104
Upon remembering Carrie’s birthday, I immediately moved to the venue to see if I could help in the
preparations.
At first I was really surprised that as soon as I went there and volunteered for work, the servants
immediately rejected me and refused to let me participate in the preparation.
Their attitude made me confused and guilty at the same time. Back then these servants would be
happy to have me around helping with the chores no matter what event it is.
However, when I left without a care… I could not help but think that their attitude at the moment would
be the effect of my sudden actions earlier on.
I looked around, feeling lost. No matter what, Carrie is an important person to me. She is one of my
closest and most trusted friends and I cannot allow myself to just watch and do nothing for the most
important day of her life.
Just as I was about to move to another area to ask if I could help, the head servant approached me
and asked me respectfully.
“Miss Chloe, what brings you here?”
“It’s like this… I am thinking of helping around to make the preparations finish on time, but the others
wouldn’t let me…” I tried as hard as possible to not sound like I am whining, but I guess my emotions
still leaked through the tone of my voice.
The head servant hesitated for a moment and looked around.
Then he looked at me and said,
“Miss Chloe, please do not take heed of our actions as we were really worried that you would get hurt
and affect your pregnancy…”
Before I could reply he then continued, “How about this, we are still unable to completely assemble the
overhead designs to hang later… Would you like to finish the design so that I could assign someone to
hang it later on?”
Hearing that he has a task for me, I felt elated in an instant. He handed me a box filled of colored
papers and a few tools to use and led me to a table where I could work.
Just like that, I spent the day in satisfaction knowing that I could still help in Carrie’s birthday
celebration in my own way.
Finally, Carrie’s birthday finally arrived.
In a werewolf’s lifetime, the coming of age is one of the most important moments. Because in this
moment, a werewolf would have the chance to meet his or her mate.
As such Carrie was now pacing back and forth in my room in nervousness.
“Carrie, please relax… Everything will be fine.” I looked at her and was a little helpless.
The fear and anxiousness on her face was laced with a hint of anticipation and excitement. It was a
blend of conflicting emotions that heightened her uneasiness as the coming of age ceremony
approaches in just a few moments.
“Chloe… Can you imagine?! This is the day that I will finally meet my mate!”
“Ahhhh!!! I am really freaking out! I don’t know what to feel at the moment! Wahh!” Carrrie suddenly
plopped down on the couch beside me as she took my hand to gain a sense of security.
“Chloeeee….” Suddenly she sadly called as her voice shivered. As I looked at her, I knew that her real NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
feelings were already displayed in her eyes. “I really wish that Arthur would be my mate…”
“I really can’t imagine if he wasn’t the one… If he isn’t then what would I do?” Chloe tightened her grip
on my hand as I felt it shaking.
I looked at her and patted her trembling hands. I know how it feels to have someone you love suddenly
taken away from you because of some circumstance.
If Arthur and Carrie turned out to be not fated, I knew that Carrie would really be devastated.
“Let’s trust the Moon Goddess, she knows best…” I comforted her, as I also believed in the words I
said.
Back then I did not really understand why the Moon Goddess allowed me to have an unfaithful mate.
But it turns out, when I fully knew Blake, that her arrangements were just right.
In the end, the real fated one is Blake… and I could not think of any man that would be better for me
other than him.
With that I also believe that the Moon Goddess would look upon Carrie and listen to the deepest desire
of her heart.
Hearing my words, Carrie, looked at me and sighed. “I really miss you Chloe! As expected, you are the
only one who could make me feel at ease!”
Amused by her words, I felt aggrieved as I replied, “Really? I thought that you already don’t want me
anymore because you never visited me ever since I came back? I really believed that you were angry
at me, you know!”
Carrie vigorously shook her head and denied, “Hey, that’ll never happen! I am not angry with you at all!
I know you have reasons as to why you suddenly left. I know that your father needs you as well…”
“Sigh… If not for Blake asking me and Arthur not to visit you because you were not feeling well, do you
think I could refrain from finding you at random times of the day?!”
While Carrie was speaking, she did not forget to also whine about Blake’s nagging and her frustration
about his prohibition of going to me.
Knowing the reason for their lack of visit and interaction, I was deeply surprised and confused.
It was quite strange for Blake to suddenly prohibit Carrie and Arthur, which were the closest people I
have been with in the Silver Pack.
Carrie and Arthur are the people whom we both trust and care for. So I really find it rather unusual for
Blake to stop them from seeing me just because I don’t feel well.
I get that the morning sickness that kicks in everytime I wake up makes me really feel terrible, but it
does not mean that I would stay fragile and weak the entire time of my pregnancy.
Noting this matter in my head, I decided to talk to Blake about these matters after Carrie’s birthday
party.
Perhaps, Blake was just a little over the top in protecting me, but I just have to remind him and let him
understand that I did not need this kind of exaggerated treatment just because of my pregnancy.
With that, I looked at Carrie and reminded her, “It’s almost time for the ceremony…”
Carrie looked at me pleadingly and held my head like a lost puppy, “Chloe, can you accompany me
together at the venue? Please… I am really nervous.”
I smiled and fixed the bejeweled headdress that adorned her lovely hair, “Sure, I’ll stay with you
throughout the ceremony…”
