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 Moon

Pack 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 happily

awaited the start of the inauguration ceremony. I tried to tune them out, but when I heard my name, I

could not help but listen intently.

"Our pack's future is very bright! Thank goodness our Alpha didn't choose Chloe, that useless

daughter, 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... do you

have news on what happened to Chloe? We didn't hear anything about her ever since she left the

pack," she added, sounding curious.

"Why are you even asking? There's a high probability that she's dead!" The first maid declared with

certainty. "Plus, the Alpha does not even care about what happened to her... We shouldn't care about

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 before

going 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 much

anymore," I softly added. Beside me, Arthur reached out and patted me on the shoulder. He seemed to

think that I was sad and was comforting me. I looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine," I reassured him.

"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 serious

look on his face while Lisa appeared to be very happy. I furrowed my brows and started feeling

annoyed. Lisa must have been so happy. After all, this was the moment she was looking forward to for

a long time.

Everyone was already in their assigned places, waiting for the new alpha to appear. Finally, after a

couple of seconds, the door of the hall was slowly pushed open. Then, Vanessa appeared wearing a

golden long dress and had an exquisite makeup on her face. Escorting her was Alan who was also

wearing a suit. They looked like a perfect couple.

I stopped looking at them and lowered my eyes, somehow feeling defeated. Vanessa seemed to be

born as the main protagonist. Every time she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

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

'I just hope that you take the burden of the pack. I pray that you lead the Red Moon Pack to a bright

future,' I wished in my heart.

I walked towards Blake, only to see that the beta who came with us already returned. He leaned

towards Blake and whispered something. I did not think much of it and watched as Vanessa walked

towards 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 has been

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 everyone clapped their

hands.

"Now, may I introduce to you my beloved daughter, Vanessa Baker." As my father spoke, Vanessa

slowly 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 finish

declaring 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 his chair.

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 of them

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 the

inauguration ceremony of your new alpha to poison the people from the other packs!" He yelled on top

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 my

father.

Vanessa and Lisa stood at the main seats, looking lost. My father reached out and patted Lisa's hand

to comfort her. Then, he walked towards one of the poisoned people. My father's face changed after

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 was

immediately filled with commotion from all the guests who were demanding my father for an

explanation.

"Dean Baker... you better tell me what is going on right now. Or else, we can start talking through our

wolves!" The alpha of one of the poisoned people threatened to start a duel. Alan immediately walked

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's arm. I

did not say anything, but Blake understood that I was hoping he could help out. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Blake looked at me before giving me a soft pat on my head. Then, he stepped forward. Everyone who

saw Blake stepped forward and instantly turned silent. They all watched Blake with fear and respect in

their eyes.

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

pack poison them?"

My father stood up and immediately shook his head. "No. Although the poison that was used was from

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 find the real poisoner and

present them to us within three days."

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

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