A Betrayal The Luna’s Love Triangle by Nahrul Muhibba
Chapter 2

A DECISION

This morning Caitlin sat sluggishly on her bed. And of course this succeeded in making Ivy, who was already feeling anxious about playing a play that Caitlin had composed some time ago, even more confused. Ivy was afraid that the whole charade would be discovered, but unfortunately when she entered Caitlin’s room, the owner of the room was apparently there.

“Miss Dawn, why are you here?” Ivy was shocked. “What I mean is, didn’t you go out last night with Mr. Frank? Shouldn’t you guys have married? So how come you are still here, Miss?” Ivy asked.

She noticed Caitlin’s gloomy expression, there was no answer to her question and Caitlin didn’t smile at all. Clearly something had happened.

“Miss Dawn, has something happened?” Ivy asked at last.

And now, Caitlin was looking at Ivy with a sad look. Then she grabbed Ivy’s waist quite tightly. Caitlin … cried.

Ivy was just a servant, it was impossible for her to dare touch Caitlin’s sacred b*dy. She could only freeze, without knowing what to do to calm her madam. All Ivy could do was let Caitlin stay in that position until Caitlin felt calm.

“Miss Dawn … what actually happened?”

Caitlin became silent again, she removed her embrace from Ivy. There was no way she would tell Ivy the truth if Erland, the lover she was so proud of, turned out to be having an affair with Blaze, who was none other than her step-sister. This was a family disgrace, and Caitlin was still thinking about what will happen to Blaze in the future. Caitlin was not as evil as Blaze, Caitlin really loves Blaze. Although in the end Caitlin’s sincere affection for Blaze was repaid with a very, very terrible betrayal.

“Tell Mom and Dad, Ivy. Tell them that I have agreed to marry the son of the Parker family.”

“W … what?” Ivy was shocked once again.

How could it not be? Everything that happened really confused Ivy. Today the fact that Caitlin had turned strange was something that cannot be denied at all.

“So what about Mr. Frank, Miss?”

Caitlin shook her head. “I don’t want to be a disobedient child, Ivy. I’ve thought everything through carefully, and in the end this is the decision I took. I will agree to this match, I will marry the son of the Parker family according to my father’s wishes. And I’m sure that I will be happy with my father’s hope.”

Ivy felt very grateful for Caitlin’s sudden decision, no matter whether in the end Caitlin dumped Erland or not, what was clear and important now was that Ivy was free from the wrath of Mr. and Mrs. Dawn.

“Okay, Miss. I will tell this to your parents. I’m sure they will be very happy to hear this.”

After that short conversation, Ivy reported to Caitlin’s parents that Caitlin agreed to the match. It didn’t take long for the Parker family to convey this. Both families were equally happy with the answer that satisfied their hearts. And the wedding plans were immediately prepared without waiting long.

“Caitlin,” Mr. Dawn called to his daughter who was walking through the main hall of the palace. Caitlin, who was initially reluctant to come closer because Blaze was there, finally walked over too. Blaze, who found out that Caitlin had canceled her plans to elope with Erland, felt strange, but Blaze felt grateful because Erland didn’t marry Caitlin. “Tonight the Parker family will come, I have prepared everything for you. Your prettiest dress, your prettiest jewelry, and your prettiest shoes. I hope Ivy will be able to make you beautiful, so that Young Master Parker will be happy.”

Caitlin just smiled faintly, she didn’t think her beauty was something to be proud of now. It was useless to be beautiful but to be dumped, or even betrayed in a very painful way.

“Father, the feeling of love cannot be deceived by appearance. The beauty of the face and the expensive things we use will be useless. If fate doesn’t love me, then what should I do?” Caitlin glanced at Blaze. Blaze cast her gaze in another direction instead.

“Young Master Parker has already seen you, I’m sure he will be very happy about all this. He was the one who agreed to this match, so you don’t need to be so pessimistic like that.” Mr. Dawn seemed to laugh. “You’ve really left Erland, right?” His father.

Caitlin nodded. “Why keep a man who doesn’t know his place anyway?”

Caitlin immediately left. She returned to her room because she had to prepare to attend a family dinner.

And that night finally arrived. The Parker family came with their entourage. Mr. and Mrs. Dawn were very enthusiastic about their arrival, especially as the Parker family was the strongest lycan family in the universe. And one of his sons had become king, having the position of number one lycan in the world.

Meanwhile, Blaze, who accompanied his mother to welcome the guests, seemed stunned by the good looks of this handsome man. Blaze thought Erland was already very handsome in her eyes, but the man in front of her was even more handsome.

“Blaze, lower your gaze. He is Felix Parker, Caitlin’s fiancé.”

“He?” Blaze asked. Her mother nodded with a friendly smile, but this was the opposite for Blaze. Once again Caitlin got a gift, once again Caitlin was always lucky. Blaze became very jealous. How could her parents match Caitlin with a family that was very famous throughout the pack in the universe, more than that, this figure had a very perfect face? While she? Yes … Blaze was just a step daughter, maybe that was why Dawn’s family was never fair to her.

“Don’t be gloomy, Blaze. After Caitlin’s wedding, I will match you with the strongest lycan too. Be patient….”

Blaze only responded with a faint smile, she didn’t feel proud or happy at all. Until Caitlin finally came down, all eyes were focused on the beauty of Caitlin’s face.

“I think the two of them are a great match. Look, Felix and Caitlin are like a pair of gods destined by God to be together.”

“Then our family will become the strongest lycan family that will never be matched.”

“Oh yes, Mr. Dawn. I want to tell you that, after dinner tonight, we will take Caitlin home to our house until the wedding day comes. Apart from being a tradition, this is also to show our nation that our son has a future wife.”

“Okay, if that’s the rule, Mr. Parker. We shall obey every rule.”

On the other hand, Erland, who had been sitting stupidly at the place where he should meet Caitlin for two nights until morning, was becoming increasingly restless. His mind was all over the place now. How could it not be, he should have married with Caitlin two nights ago. But how come Caitlin didn’t come until this moment? What happened to Caitlin?

“Are you still waiting here for Caitlin?”

Erland turned his head, he saw Blaze coming with a wry smile that looked so real. Erland became awkward, there was no way he could say that he had the slightest hope for Caitlin.

“I’m just wondering, why didn’t Caitlin come? If she doesn’t come, won’t our big plan fall apart?” said Erland, trying to convince Blaze.

“She won’t come, and she will never come.” Blaze spoke again in a mocking tone.

“What do you mean, Blaze? How did she not come? Caitlin loves me so much, it would be impossible if she wouldn’t come.”

“It’s the truth, Caitlin will not come. Just so you know Caitlin has accepted an arranged marriage from our father, and now she is at the Parker family residence waiting for her wedding day with Felix Parker. At first I was confused as to why Caitlin suddenly canceled plans to marry you. And after I saw Felix Parker, I knew why.”

“Why?” Erland asked curiously.

“Apart from the fact that the Parker family is the most powerful lycan family in the universe, in fact, Felix Parker’s good looks cannot be doubted by anyone. Felix Parker is the most handsome lycan in the universe.”

Erland’s breath hitched. He shook his head perfectly. That cannot be. This was an impossible thing. How could Caitlin dump him just to marry a man named Felix Parker? No, Erland couldn’t believe all that!
