Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 24

I hid at the corner of the room and panicked. Beside me, Arthur started to sweat. Both of us stayed still

and did not dare move.

The sound of the door opening never been so clear.

Then, it was followed by a set of footsteps that became more and more clear by each passing second.

It could only mean one thing... the person was walking closer and closer towards our direction! I felt a

thump in my chest.

A few more seconds later, I realized something that made me even more nervous and afraid... The

sounds of the footsteps were very similar...

My hands broke into sweat. I could no longer hold it in, as quietly as I could be, I took a peek at through

the gap to make sure who came into the poison room. When I saw him, my entire body froze.

It’s father!

I looked at him and a cold sweats started dripping down my spine. Compared to when I saw him during

the banquet, I was much closer to him... close enough to see that the hairs on his temply was much

grayer.

I gripped the hem of my shirt.

If he was not the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, he... would look like a kind father.

Fortunately, my father did not seem to notice that anything was amiss. He continued to walk until he

passed the corner where we were hidden. Then, he went straight to the the wall where a painting was

hung.

My eyes widened in surprise as I saw him lifting up the painting, only to reveal a hidden safety box

inside it!

It turned out that something like that hidden there! Arthur and I looked at each other.

'Don't tell me that is where he is hiding Blake's antidote?' My mind raised. Beside me, Arthur was also

thinking the same.

We did not waste any time. Hurriedly, we turned our heads towards my father's direction and tried our

best to see the passcode he entered.

Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful. All we ever saw was my father opening the box, putting an object

in it, and returning it to its original place. Then, he left the poison room.

The moment my father left, Arthur and I went straight to the painting.

"Do you the passcode?" Arthur let out a harsh whisper.

I felt stumped but nevertheless shook my head. "I don't know... but I could try..." I told him honestly.

"Alright. Then please do your best," Arthur encouraged me. "But just so you know... this kind of safety

box will give a loud alarm the moment you put in three wrong passcodes..."

"You must succeed within three tries... Unless you want the guards of the Red Moon Pack to surround

us," he added with a shaking voice.

I gulped nervously. Then, lifting my hand, I put my father's birthday on the dials. Immediately, the dials

turned red, telling us that I put a wrong passcode. I immediately retrieved my hand.

"T-this... is harder than how I thought..." I let out a nervous laughter.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then, I tried again. This time, I put in Vanessa's birthday. The

dials instantly turned red again.

It was not even Vanessa's birthday. I was a little confused.

"Holy moly... This is nervewracking..." Beside me, Arthur rubbed his arms.

I only had one last chance to open the safety box. If I put a wrong code, the guards would coming to

arrest us. I gripped my hand tightly. Just thinking about me was enough to make me turn stiff from fear.

Suddenly, Arthur said, "Ah? Ah... Right. Well be there right away."

From his tone, I knew that he was not talking to me. I gave him a curious look, only to see Arthur letting

out a regretful sigh. Then, he stood up.

"Blake just mind linked me and asked where we went to. He told me to return before the highlight of the

banquet was about to start," Arthur told me.

"Let's go bacl. Anyway, we know that Blake's antidote is inside this box. I'll find a chance to crack the

code later," he added before dragging me out of the poison room.

As we walked out, I could help but to look at the safety box, thinking what could be its passcode.

-

The banquet was in full scale when we returned. Immediately, I looked at Blake who was also looking

back at me. I secretly smiled at him before retreating to the corner of the hall with Arthur.

My father also returned and was already at the main seat. He was standing beside Vanessa who

wrapped her arms around his. As I watched then, suddenly, my father looked into my direction.

Subconsciously, I looked away.

'Was he looking at me?' I thought, feeling my heart pound. 'He didn't recognize me... right?'

Unfortunately, I cought a sight of someone I also did not want to see.

Alan, who was not far from the main seat, had a serious look on his face as he stared hard at

something. When I followed the direction of his eyes, I saw Blake.

'Oh?' I raised a brow.

Blake also noticed Alan. But facing Alan's intense stare, Blake did not care at all.

With a slight smile on Blake’s lips, he lifted his cup and calmly drank his wine.

I tried to keep myself out of it. After all, the purpose of my returned this time was to help Blake find the

antidote.

The entire hall was more buzing, I also found some desserts to fill my hungry stomach.

Just when everyone was immersed in happiness, the door was suddenly pushed open. Then, a beta

rushed in and rushed towards my father, yelling "Alpha!"

Loud whispers instantly filled the hall.

My father, who was busy escorting Vanessa, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Hurry and call the doctors!" My father ordered. "You... report what happened!" He urged the beta. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The bowed respectfully. On the corners of his mouth, there was blood dripping out. On his arm was a

big wound that was bleeding profusely. He was clearly, seriously injured.

The bow he did made the beta winced with pain. Still, he stood straight and hurriedly reported, "Alpha,

please send help."

"Our border was suddenly attacked!"
