Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 20

Everyone looked at me in astonishment.

"Ah? She didn't know--?" The girl beside me started to ask before her friend elbowed her, signaling her

to stop. The garden was suddenly filled with awkwardness.

"Come on! What's with the atmosphere?" Carrie, who was surprisingly holding a glass of wine in each

of her hands, stood up. "We are all here to relax and play. Come on! Everyone grab a glass of wine!"

She said cheerfully while winking at the crowd.

After receiving Carrie's instruction, everyone started grabbing a glass of wine. "T-that's right! Let's go

and get wasted!" Their reactions seemed a bit forced at first. But after a soft while, the place was again

filled with laughter and merriment. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"It's the night to get drunk!" They cheered, completely lifting up the atmosphere.

'Oh,' I thought before awkwardly grabbing my own glass of wine. 'It seems like they don't want to

answer my question.' Slightly frowning, I started sipping the wine.

The night went on and I became immersed in the party, completely forgetting my earlier question.

Around me, everyone talked and laughed, but I couldn’t understand them anymore. I was only focused

on the empty glass of wine in my hand.

"I never thought that red wine tastes so good," I mumbled to myself before putting the glass on the

table. "But do I feel a little dizzy? I only had two glasses..." I added before a small hiccup escaped my

throat.

I felt a hug coming from my back before I heard a sweet voice in my ears. "Sisterrrrrr!!!" Carrie, who

looked more drunk than me, pulled me in a tight embrace.

"You smell so goooood~ Did you put a perfume on?~~" She slightly swayed, putting her entire weight

on me, making me slightly stumble. Fortunately, two pairs of arms hurriedly supported us.

"Geeez Carrie. How can you be this drunk every time~~" A pretty girl said. Even though she said those

words, her face was also pretty flushed.

"Come, don't trouble the Luna if you don't want the King to come after you!" The other girl laughed

before pulling Carrie off me.

It was the end of the party. Everyone has started to go home, drunk and with a big smile on their faces.

"Do you also need support?" The older woman who earlier helped me out smiled. I smiled and shook

my head.

"I'm okay. I want to walk by the lake before returning," I told her.

"Then, please be careful," she told me.

A few minutes later, I was by the lake once more. Although it was late at night, the midnight sky was so

clear. Up above, I could see the moon and the stars shining brightly, as if they were smiling down on

me.

I touched my hot face, my mind starting to ponder. The words that I earlier heard at the party floated in

my mind.

'Could I... really be the reason why Blake was poisoned?' I frowned.

'If that's true... then at that time... If I didn't beg my father to take Blake in...'

'Then he wouldn't suffer from being poisoned.' I felt a painful twitch in my heart.

I stared at the calm lake. There were small ripples on the water that were caused by the cold breeze

that blew on my face.

It has only been a few days. But being with Blake... living together with him in the Silver Pack, I have

never felt more alive.

I gripped the hem of my shirt, my eyes filled with resolution. 'I'll do everything...' I swore under the

moonlight. 'Whatever it takes, I'll do everything to cure Blake.'

'Even if it means returning to the Red Moon Pack.'

I have made my decision, but it does not mean that I have already found the courage in my heart. In

fact, just a mere mention of the Red Moon Pack was enough to fill my heart with restlessness.

I nibbled my lower lip before grabbing some pebbles on the ground and throwing them into the lake,

subconsciously masking my uneasiness with the sound of the stones sinking into water. At that time I

was oblivious of the figure that was approaching me from behind.

"Chloe," I heard someone softly calling my name. My hand that was about to throw another stone froze

as I looked behind me. When I saw Blake's handsome face, a smile subconsciously bloomed on my

lips.

"Hi, Blake!" I greeted him warmly. Blake intently watched me as his eyes turned gentle. Carefully, he

approached me until there was only a foot distance away between us.

"Hi, Chloe," he replied softly before giving me a soft smile. My heart instantly felt like it was melting.

"I heard you wanted to come here. I came here to get you," Blake told me before holding out his hand.

"Shall we go back together?" He asked with a very gentle voice, making my heart skip a beat.

Without thinking about it, I gave him my hand. Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, I moved and

directly went inside his arms. My cheeks tingle, feeling a little embarrassed. It was the first time I was

so proactive with Blake.

Blake froze for a second before he gently wrapped his arms around me. Soon, I was enveloped with

his warmth.

"Is everything okay?" I heard his comforting voice close to my ear and felt slightly ticklish.

I shook my head no. But after thinking about it for a second, I told him with a slightly raised voice,

"Blake, I will definitely... definitely detoxify you!"

Blake stopped for a moment before he let out an amused chuckle. "Did you drink a lot?" He asked as I

felt him softly combing my hair with his fingers.

It was an intimate touch. Normally, I would feel shy upon receiving it. But maybe the wine has given me

courage, I gave him a proud nod and a silly smile. "Yep. I drank a lot," I told him with a mischievous

voice.

"I see," Blake chuckled once more. "Then, will this drunk lady go home with me?" He asked with a

pampering voice.

A few moments later, Blake and I were walking side my side. It was midnight and the street was dark,

only being illuminated by dim lights. I slightly stumbled and almost bumped into Blake. Thankfully,

Blake reacted fast and held my shoulders, protecting me from falling.

"S-sorry..." I mumbled before scratching the tip of my nose.

"No problem," Blake replied with a smile. "It was the same as the last time. In the Red Moon Pack,

when you came running from your sister's room, you ended up bumping into me too," he teased.

My eyes widened. "T-that was you?" I slightly stuttered. Deep in my heart, I felt warm again.

How did everything seem destined to happen? It was like fate was working hard for me and Blake to

meet. I felt a flush of happiness as my face reddened. Inside my heart, it was as if I unearthed

something I had thought I longed lost. Ever since meeting Blake, I dared to hope again.

It might be because of the happiness that I felt, but my steps felt lighter and lighter until I started

skipping like a child. It felt like my body was floating. With a pampering look on his face, Blake closely

followed behind me. Our surroundings were very quiet.

I closed my eyes, savoring the precious feeling in my heart. A content smile appeared on my lips.

Without me realizing it, I opened my lips and softly whispered, "Thank you."

Blake blinked in confusion. He asked me, "What for?" I didn't answer him and just smiled. Inside my

heart, I whispered, 'Because you made me believe in love again.'

After a few moments, I stopped walking and turned around. Blake looked at me and patiently waited for

me to say what I wanted to say.

I casted my eyes down for a second and let out a soft sigh. Then, I looked at Blake with determination.

"Blake, I need to tell you something," I told him. Seeing my serious expression, Blake nodded and gave

me his full attention.

"In two days..." I started to tell him. "I decided to come with you to the Red Moon Pack."
