Fated For Lycan's Luna
Chapter 26

I looked up and squinted as the sun brightly shone in the sky. It was a good day, and the Red MoonPack was bustling.

"I'm so excited! The inauguration ceremony is about to start!"

"Me too! I can't wait until Vanessa becomes our new alpha!”

The members of the pack gossiped as I passed by. Everyone was in a great mood as they happilyawaited the start of the inauguration ceremony. I tried to tune them out, but when I heard myname, I could not help but listen intently.

"Our pack’s future is very bright! Thank goodness our Alpha didn't choose Chloe, that uselessdaughter, to be our next alpha,” I heard the maid who was carrying some cleaning supplies said.Beside her was another maid who was carrying a big bucket.

"You're right! The Alpha is thinking for the sake of our future,” the other maid replied. "Anyway... doyou have news on what happened to Chloe? We didn't hear anything about her ever since she leftthe pack,” she added, sounding curious.

"Why are you even asking? There's a high probability that she’s dead!" The first maid declared withcertainty. "Plus, the Alpha does not even care about what happened to her... We shouldn't careabout her either!"

I listened to their conversation. Although I felt sour, I did not care so much about it like before.When the two maids passed by where I and Arthur were standing, they stopped and saluted beforegoing away. I watched their backs as they were leaving and could not help but let out a sigh.

"It seems like I'm not Chloe anymore,” I muttered. "See? Everyone doesn't seem to hate me so muchanymore,” I softly added. Beside me, Arthur reached out and patted me on the shoulder. He seemedto think that I was sad and was comforting me. I looked at him and smiled. “I'm fine," I reassuredhim. "Let's hurry and go to the ceremony.”

At the grand ceremony, I found my father and Lisa sitting at the main seats. My father had a seriouslook on his face while Lisa appeared to be very happy. I furrowed my brows and started feelingannoyed. Lisa must have been so happy. After all, this was the moment she was looking forward tofor a long time.

Everyone was already in their assigned places, waiting for the new alpha to appear. Finally, after acouple of seconds, the door of the hall was slowly pushed open. Then, Vanessa appeared wearing agolden long dress and had an exquisite makeup on her face. Escorting her was Alan who was alsowearing a suit. They looked like a perfect couple.

I stopped looking at them and lowered my eyes, somehow feeling defeated. Vanessa seemed to beborn as the main protagonist. Every time she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

'I got nothing to do with it now," my eyes flashed.

'l just hope that you take the burden of the pack. I pray that you lead the Red Moon Pack to a brightfuture," I wished in my heart.

I walked towards Blake, only to see that the beta who came with us already returned. He leanedtowards Blake and whispered something. I did not think much of it and watched as Vanessa walkedtowards father. When she reached him, my father began to preside over the inauguration ceremony."Thank you for coming, everyone,” he started to say. "Through the years, the Red Moon Pack hasbeen building great relationships with each and every one of you. I'm glad that our efforts bloomed.You are all here to witness the inauguration ceremony of our new alpha,” he said as everyoneclapped their hands.

"Now, may I introduce to you my beloved daughter, Vanessa Baker." As my father spoke, Vanessaslowly walked towards him, and they shared a smile.

"She will be the new alpha of the Red Moo--" He started to say. However, before he could finishdeclaring Vanessa as the new alpha of the Red Moon Pack, a commotion suddenly started."Aaaaargh!!!!" A loud grunt was heard in the hall before a guest from another pack fell from hischair. His face was very pale, and his mouth was foaming. It was a clear sign of being poisoned!When the grand hall started to fill with confusion, a few more other people fell to the ground, all ofthem possessing the same symptoms!

Obviously, everyone was shocked by this sudden accident.

"You! Explain this!" Suddenly, a guest stood up and pointed his finger at my father. "You used theinauguration ceremony of your new alpha to poison the people from the other packs!" He yelled ontop of his lungs. The grand hall turned deadly silent before a pandemonium started.

"Explain this right away, Alpha Dean!"

"How evil! How could you do this!"

"Properly tell us what is happening... or else..." The guests from the other packs started accusing myfather.

Vanessa and Lisa stood at the main seats, looking lost. My father reached out and patted Lisa's handto comfort her. Then, he walked towards one of the poisoned people. My father's face changedafter checking on him, I saw his frown tightened.

"This... is really a poison from the Red Moon Pack," I heard my father mutter. The entire hall wasimmediately filled with commotion from all the guests who were demanding my father for anexplanation.

"Dean Baker... you better tell me what is going on right now. Or else, we can start talking throughour wolves!" The alpha of one of the poisoned people threatened to start a duel. Alan immediatelywalked forward to protect my father as everyone backed away in fright.

I watched the entire scene and started to feel worried. I took a step forward and grabbed Blake'sarm. I did not say anything, but Blake understood that I was hoping he could help out.

Blake looked at me before giving me a soft pat on my head. Then, he stepped forward. Everyonewho saw Blake stepped forward and instantly turned silent. They all watched Blake with fear andrespect in their eyes.

Blake did not pay attention to them and directly went to my father. Then, he calmly asked, "Did yourpack poison them?"

My father stood up and immediately shook his head. "No. Although the poison that was used wasfrom the Red Moon Pack, we were not the one who poisoned them."

Blake narrowed his eyes, creating more tension in the air. "If that's so, then replace the real poisonerand present them to us within three days."

"If you fail to do so, I will be like the others..."

"1 will never let the Red Moon Pack go... and might even raze it to the ground.” Blake said coldly.
