Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 18

Blake's POV

Chloe froze when she heard my question. I frowned with concern when I saw the hint of worry in her eyes. 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 something to say.

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

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

From Chloe’s expression, I could guess that she wanted to return to the Red Moon Pack. But because 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 and rethink 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 no guilt toward them. After all, every member of that pack had hurt my mate. Their successor even plotted to kill her.

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

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

Right now, my main concern was Chloe. She was too kind—no matter how much people have hurt her, she would forgive them once they showed her even an ounce of kindness. If I brought her back to 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 the pack 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 of her, 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 be troubled by something.

"The entire pack could tell that Carrie likes you. I don't think you're oblivious to that," I said with a serious 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 find her mate."

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

"Whatever," I answered absentmindedly while looking at the invitation card on my table. I was still figuring 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 curious about something. Answer me."

"What?"

"Normally, you would never accept invitations from any pack. What’s making you go against the norm? Aren't you worried that they would give you trouble after learning your name and remembering 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.
