Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 96

Chloe’s POV

The room froze upon Blake’s declaration.

I heard Blake's words, and for a fleeting moment, time stood still.

Blake, despite everything we had been through, still held on to his belief in me. His unwavering faith in

my character shook me to the core. His faith in me was unchanging, and despite all the pain and

difficulties I brought to him, still chose to believe in me.

I had left him… caused him pain…

I kept the truth about our child hidden from him… yet he still chose to believe in me.

Despite everything I did to him, when he saw that I was in an unfavorable position, his first reaction was

to……protect me.

A surge of conflicting emotions washed over me, mingling guilt and gratitude. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Ever since we recognized each other, all he did was for me. And I have been selfish towards him. Yet

despite my actions, he acted on his instinct to protect me, to shield me from harm.

Suddenly, I felt my eyes turn warm. The weight of Blake’s unwavering love and support bore down on

me, causing my eyes to brim with unshed tears.

A warmth blossomed within me, melting the icy walls I had constructed. His love, his forgiveness, had

the power to thaw the coldest corners of my heart.

But… I bit down on my trembling lips, refusing to succumb to the overwhelming wave of emotions

threatening to spill over. With everything I had, I stopped myself from crying.

No, I could not cry. Not now, when I was in front of him. Otherwise, if I shed even one droplet of tear, all

of the emotions that I felt inside would gush out… everything would be revealed.

And I was afraid… afraid that if I cry out, Blake would see right through my innermost desire.

So I just stood there and increasingly appeared colder and more and more awkward. Inside my heart,

there was a delicate balance, a battle between the longing to let go and the need to remain composed.

That was… until I felt the exhaustion in my body.

Blake picked up on my emotional state, even though I tried my best to conceal it from everyone else.

“....” I wanted to say something but pressed my lips together instead. At that moment, I felt very

conflicted. I knew it well, Blake alone could decipher the hidden panic etched across my face.

A brief moment of hesitation flickered in Blake’s eyes before he took a step closer, closing the distance

between us.

His hands reached out, poised to hold me, to offer comfort in his warm embrace. But just as he was

about to touch me, he stopped himself before lowering his hands. His gaze softened, reflecting a

tenderness that melted away any remnants of doubt or fear.

With gentle words, he suggested, "You look tired. Why don't we sit down first and talk about

everything?"

It was my time to hesitate. I paused for a while, not knowing what to do.

Blake saw through me and added, "Let's settle this matter like mature adults, alright?" His voice carried

a soothing tone, but unlike his earlier tone, it did not contain unending gentleness. Somehow, this made

me more comfortable.

Lisa looked at the situation. She carefully observed us before sighing.

As an elder, not only to the pack, but also to both Vanessa and I, she had the duty to smooth things

out.

Especially in the presence of an Alpha from another pack.

Inside the room, Blake's oppressive aura remained relentless, unyielding in its intensity. Even as he

looked at me with his eyes brimming with a torrent of emotions, his demeanor before the others

remained cold and merciless.

The entire time, the entire room seemed to hold its breath. Everyone was on edge as they watched our

interactions.

Blake was like a volatile bomb on the verge of detonation, exuding an air of imminent danger. The

tension in the room grew palpable, each person acutely aware of the fragile balance that teetered on

the edge.

I could see the fear reflected in Lisa's eyes. For Lisa, she believed that if Blake's anger were left

unchecked, it could unleash devastation upon the Red Moon Pack and Vanessa.

She hesitated for a bit. Then, with a pale face, she walked forward and said with a soft yet clear voice.

“Vanessa, my daughter… this time your words have gone too far.”

I paused and looked at Lisa with surprise.

For the first time in my life, I saw a new side of my stepmother, Lisa. The side of an elder who was

looking after the younger generation. Once again, I started to feel conflicting emotions.

“Even if you hated your sister, or you doubt the reason why she came here, it is not becoming of an

Alpha to hurl such accusations in the presence of another Alpha.” Lisa stepped towards Vanessa and

held her hands gently.

“Vanessa my daughter, as an elder, I urge you to evaluate your position and actions," she added softly.

Her eyes pleaded towards her daughter.

The surprise in my eyes became more obvious. For the first time, I saw Lisa not blindly siding with her

daughter. But instead, she reprimanded her sternly.

Vanessa and Alan also found themselves in a state of utter surprise, their eyes widening as they

witnessed Lisa's unexpected actions.

Vanessa's reaction was more obvious. It was as if her mind had come to a screeching halt, leaving her

unable to comprehend the situation before them. She could only look at Lisa blankly.

The weight of the moment seemed to settle heavily upon her. After a while, her face darkened and

trembled with a mixture of confusion and frustration.

As the initial shock subsided, furrows appeared on Vanessa's forehead, reflecting her growing

discontent. With a hint of defiance, she voiced her protest, questioning, “Why is it my fault that I thought

of those things in the first place?”

“Clearly, Chloe did not even explain her situation to us when she came back. It is only natural for me to

doubt her motive and pregnancy because of that!”

Vanessa's words hung in the air, echoing her defiance. For her, it was only natural to question my

motives and even my pregnancy. It was her defense mechanism, a reaction born out of confusion and

a desire for clarity.

Vanessa's steadfast refusal to retract her accusations against me made Blake, who was standing

beside me, to suddenly move.

It was so subtle but yet clear. His slight movement caught everyone's attention and everyone looked at

him intensely.

Blake's beautiful face turned colder and around him, his aura turned more and more oppressive,

casting a suffocating weight upon the room, causing Alan and Vanessa's faces to darken and tremble

involuntarily.
