Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 112

Chloe's POV

It could have been a great night if not for the disturbing sound of agonizing screams and the thick scent of blood.

I have debated against myself countless times whether I should go out and check the situation or not.

But Blake's sound warning rang on my head and reminded me that I am in no position to be reckless.

There is a little life in me that I have to protect now… I must trust Blake this time.

Even so, the scream and the sound of the intensifying battle made me shudder in fear and anxiety. Especially the moment I heard the sound of battle coming closer and closer to my doorstep.

'Should I hide somewhere safe?' Driven by fear, I asked myself once more.

Pacing back and forth around the room, I furrowed my brows as I decided what to do.

In the end, I caught Blake's scent that immediately calmed me down and made me still.

'That's right… Blake is outside…'

Besides, I am no longer a weak wolfless woman now. I can at least defend myself if needed.

Finally having the confidence, I calmed myself down and intently waited for Blake to come back.

I have already lost track of how long the battle lasted.

All I knew was I only managed to calm down a little when Blake came to the room.

Seeing him calm while being surrounded by the aura of blood and death I could not help but open my mouth.

"What is happening outside, Blake?"

My eyes scanned all over him, checking if he was injured in any way.

He looked at me with relief in his eyes. It was calm and serene, and if not for the bloodstains that decorated the side of his face, one would think that he did not even encounter a battle with the intruders.

"There were just some intruders who tried to take advantage of our lowered guards… But don't worry the enemies were already taken care of." He looked at me reassuringly as his tone suggested that I cap the night.

"Why do enemies attack us? Is this the first time that it happened?"

Hearing his calm explanation I could not help but ask further. The smell of blood outside the room is so thick and the agonizing screams earlier were too loud to unhear.

"This attack was not serious… It is just a futile attempt to catch us off guard during Carrie's coming of age ceremony…"

He answered without a miniscule change in his emotions.

I perfunctorily nodded, however I have a nagging feeling that what Blake was saying wasn't what it seems.

"Chloe… Don't worry about it and take a rest… I shall not accompany you for a while because I have to oversee the clean up and investigations."

He looked at me and stretched out his hands, wanting to soothe what every anxiousness I excuse outwardly. But the stains in his hands prevented him from reaching out further.

“I want to join you… there are many people who were injured, I cannot just sit idly here and not help.” I insisted.

“Are there a lot of injured members? Is everything doing fine?” I could not help but ask further.

“Not at all my lady… this attack is not like the past were…” Seemingly remembering something, the servant stuttered for a while but quickly recovered, “There are indeed many injured but it is not a heavy problem… The others are busy nursing the injured, from my eyes I could see that this would soon be overcomed by our pack.”

“Hmm… I see..” I looked at her while becoming bothered about her words, but in the end she smiled and suggested,

“The King is doing his best as well… Do you want me to lead you to him after finishing your meal?” She asked rather attentively.

“En… lead the way the way later then.” Brushing the doubt in my mind, I nodded and hastened finishing my meal. After all, I could go there and see for myself if the situation really was something that is not as alarming as they said to be.

The servant then led me to the treatment hall, where the injured are being nursed.

The noise of the busy atmosphere completely woke me up as I saw all of the healers running around and checking each of the injured situations.

Even so, there was no patient who appeared to be critically injured and the panicked atmosphere was no longer around. Only then did I manage to believe what Blake and the servant said but even so I decided to look around and see where I can help.

I saw Blake immediately as he stood strong and calm at the center of the hall.

His warriors surrounded him, seemingly waiting for him to give out his orders. Although he looked rather energetic and steadfast, the faint shadow under his eyes told me the weariness he was inwardly enduring.

I signaled the servant, thanking her for leading the way, then headed towards where he was.

I only managed to take a few steps when Blake’s eyes landed on me and smiled. The warriors surrounding him also saw me and immediately gave way to Blake after greeting me with a respectful smile.

“Chloe… you’re awake…” Blake mumbled while his hand naturally took me and led me to the quieter area of the hall.
