Fated For Lycan's Luna
Chapter 18

Blake's POV

Chloe froze when she heard my question. I frowned with concern when I saw the hint of worry in hereyes. It took her a while to emerge from her thoughts and she shook her head.

"Don’t you want to go back?" I softly asked her. From Chloe's look, I knew that she had somethingto say.

But she only sighed. "I... I don't know. I need time to think about it,” Chloe replied, sounding veryconflicted.

Chloe got up and left the room after that. Her small and exhausted figure looked as if she wascarrying a heavy burden.

From Chloe's expression, I could guess that she wanted to return to the Red Moon Pack. Butbecause of all the painful and horrible memories given to her by her family and pack, she hesitated.I pursed my lips as a cold aura surrounded me. I have to consider Chloe's thoughts and feelings andrethink about the decisions that I made. .

Truth be told, I had wanted to ruin the entire Red Moon Pack from the moment I saved her. I felt noguilt toward them. After all, every member of that pack had hurt my mate. Their successor evenplotted to kill her.

Still, I knew that they were family to Chloe, she was still somehow attached to them. That was thereason I had to refrain from hurting them. Not only that, because of this reason, I even had to showrespect to them.

Chloe's expression just now proved that my decision was right. If anything happened to the RedMoon Pack, she would never get over it.

Right now, my main concern was Chloe. She was too kind—no matter how much people have hurther, she would forgive them once they showed her even an ounce of kindness. If I brought her backto the Red Moon Pack, I didn't know what might happen.

In the evening, I was about to leave my study once I was done wrapping up some matters of thepack when the door suddenly opened from the outside.

Arthur stumbled in with a tired expression and slumped against the couch pitifully.

I poured him a glass of water and joked, "Did you get tortured by Carrie again?"

"Her stamina is endless!" He sat up straight and started scolding me, "Your sister is scary! Because ofher, I couldn't focus on work. Do rein her in when you have the time!"

"She's all grown up now.” I smiled at him, implying that I had no control over my sister anymore.Arthur let out a long sigh and slumped against the couch again. He looked really worn out.

"Do you dislike her so much?" I questioned.

"No, I don't. But she keeps clinging to me. I..." He had a deep frown on his face and appeared to betroubled by something.

"The entire pack could tell that Carrie likes you. I don't think you're oblivious to that,” I said with aserious face. To be honest, I felt horrible knowing that someone disliked my sister.

Arthur's expression froze. He explained flatly, "Carrie is not an adult yet. When she’s fully grown up,she will replace her mate."

As if he was trying to avoid the discussion, he steered the conversation away. "Oh, by the way, Idropped by to tell you that I'll follow you to the Red Moon Pack. I'd like to see for myself the exoticpoisons they possess.”

"Whatever," I answered absentmindedly while looking at the invitation card on my table. I was stillfiguring out how to deal with the Red Moon Pack.

Without warning, he approached me from behind and rested his arm on my shoulder. “I'm curiousabout something. Answer me."

"What?"

"Normally, you would never accept invitations from any pack. What's making you go against thenorm? Aren't you worried that they would give you trouble after learning your name andremembering your face?"

"They don't have the guts to do that," I sneered and moved sideways to avoid contact with his arm.Then, I took a seat in my chair.

All along, as the Lycan King of the Silver Pack, I had avoided meeting with the Alphas of other packswith my real identity. I knew that each of them had an ulterior motive. There were only two reasonsthey would see me. Firstly, they might want my support—borrowing my reputation and utilizing mypower to strengthen their pack. The second reason would be fear—they wanted to kill me out offear.

Regardless of their motives, I had no interest in meeting them. Of course, that did not mean I hadno courage to participate in their games. If people wanted to court death by facing off with me ormy pack, I would not mind sending them to their deaths.

"You're quite confident, aren't you?" Arthur said aloud and added, "You do have the right to beconfident because of your capability. But you haven't answered my question: what made you decideto go to the Red Moon Pack?"

I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Do you remember why I sneaked into the Red Moon Pack?"

"Are you telling me that you've found the person behind the mass poisoning of our pack?" Arthurimmediately tensed up.

"I don't know their exact identity for now. But one thing is for sure—they will definitely show up atthe succession ceremony.”

"Why?"

I snickered. "That person gave non-lethal poison to our pack. All clues pointed to the Red MoonPack. Guess what they were trying to do?"

Arthur came to a realization. "I got it! They want to shift the blame to Alpha Dean and capitalize onour power to annihilate the Red Moon Pack. They plan to sit back and reap the benefits! So Chloesaid that the poison was not from their pack,” he said with a loud voice.

I nodded. "But we did not attack the Red Moon Pack after all. I assume that the perpetrator wouldtake the opportunity to make a move at the ceremony."

"What kind of vendetta do they have to the point that they want to rid of Red Moon?" Arthurstroked his chin.

“Well, Alpha Dean is a cold and heartless person who does not know what is right and what iswrong. The daughter he treasure is like an evil spawn. With the way how they conduct things, Iwouldn't be surprise if they gravely offended someone,” I answered as a cold glint flashed in myeyes.

"We will replace out the truth once we are there,” I added.

“True.” Arthur raised a brow at me. "But are you attending the ceremony because you're worriedabout the Red Moon Pack? Don't forget that they poisoned you.”

I scoffed. "Did you seriously think I care about their lives?"

"So, all for Chloe, right? You can't just sit back and watch her pack be annihilated. " He had a slysmile on his face.

This time, I chose not to reply. There was no need to explain.

Arthur let out a long sigh. "Indeed, the power of love is the strongest force!”

That earned a glare from me, a warning for him to behave.

He pouted. “So, will you bring her along?”

"If she wants to," I replied.

"Aren't you worried that her wretched family would hurt her again?”

I was silent. Obviously, that had been a concern all along, but...

"If nothing happens to Chloe during the ceremony, my presence would merely be an extra securityfor Alpha Dean. However, if anything happens to her..." I laughed icily.

" would be there to see them to their deaths,"

Arthur gave me a scared look and shook his head. "Do you have to be that cruel? Don't say I neverwarned you. Given what you know about Chloe, do you think she'd choose you over the Red MoonPack if you became their enemy?"

Heard that, I clenched my fist as my heart sank.
