Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 106

Carrie‘s POV

I could have never ever imagined that my coming of age would be this grand and lively.

From childhood, I was always surrounded by the members of the pack. However, the way they treated me was that of a child and the little sister of the King.

Right now… It was an entire new experience.

Everyone is looking at me with eyes that see that I am really an adult, their equal in terms of maturity and outlook.

I felt like I was floating and the nervousness in me became the subtle shadow of my excitement. Soon, I was feeling exhausted meeting the people’s smiles and thanking them for their well wishes.

Deciding that it was already my limit, my eyes darted across the place. There I saw Chloe, she was sitting on a table with a peaceful look while she was enjoying the food she had on the table.

Finding a good excuse, I quickly headed over to Chloe's side and carried the drink I had in hand.

The moment I sat beside her, fatigue swept over me. I realized that no matter how outgoing I was as a person, I still have my limits in socializing at that intensity.

Chloe looked at me with a commending look on her face, seemingly proud as she praised me for my performance.

I was about to whine at her about how hard it was to keep up with that many people talking to you, but then, I smelled something different.

The scent is everything I could describe as amazing. An interesting blend of musky scent of the fragrant forest with a subtle hint of chocolate.

My body suddenly froze in shock. It was at this moment that I realized that the hype of the party made me temporarily forget the shadow of fear in my heart.

Knowing who my mate is…

“Chloe… I smelled something amazing! Is it the smell of my mate?” I sat up straight and looked around excitedly.

Chloe’s gaze turned from worry to shock, then of tender assurance as she replied, “It probably is!”

Her words struck me like a bolt of lightning.

At the moment, my mind is buzzing.

The wolf in me was already urging me to follow my mate’s scent to which my body uncontrollably followed.

However, my heart is still afraid. Very afraid that the truth of who my mate is not what I wished for my entire life.

It should have been a pleasant experience for me, however, it was the very opposite.

I held Chloe’s hand tightly, at this moment I was terrified and excited at the same time. I could only cling to her hand tightly as I followed my wolf’s instinct and trace my mate’s scent.

The more we follow the scent, the more the scent changes into something that should define who my mate really is.

In no time, I could see that we were already away from the bustle of the party.

However, that also meant that I could now recognize the scent of my mate…

And it is not Arthur’s scent.

My mind went blank as I suddenly lost all the strength of my body. If not for Chloe staying beside me I would have collapsed on the ground in agony.

My wolf howled inside me, demanding to push through but I could no longer.

“What’s the matter?” Chloe looked at me and asked

I felt my body turn cold, and a devastating sadness washed over me as tears started to fall from my eyes, blurring my vision in the night.

“Chloeee…. It’s not Arthur’s scent!” I bawled, like a child, feeling sad and aggrieved.

Why?

I never crossed anyone.

I have always tried to be good to others even though I could be mischievous and playful towards Chloe, my Brother and Arthur…

I never did anything evil.

So why?

Why can’t the Moon Goddess grant my wish?

Why?

Is it really that hard to listen to the sincerest song in my heart?

“Carrie calm down, let’s walk over there… many people can see you crying here…”

Chloe tried to coax me, but as my entire being had already given up I could barely hear her words clearly.

All I could care about was the agony and the pain from realizing that my fated one was not the person whom I loved with everything in me.

Chloe was still trying to coax me when suddenly, I realized that she suddenly stopped.

The next moment, there was a voice that rang behind me as the footsteps were coming closer toward us, “Carrie… mate…”

My body was still shaking, but hearing the voice I instinctively lifted my head and looked towards the direction of the voice.

The moment I laid my eyes on that person, I felt like I was struck with lightning.

“How?”

I stared at my ‘mate’ in disbelief while my wolf was already urging me to go over and go near him.

“But his scent…” I panicked and looked at Chloe, then looked at Arthur once more.

Arthur was wearing a suit, something that I would never see him wear at all.

His doctorly and busy look was nowhere to be found, all I could see was a man clad in the most charming pair of suit and pants, looking at me intensely.

It was undeniable, that it was Arthur’s best version of himself that I have witnessed since childhood, and now I was staring at him wide eyed and in disbelief.

For he opened his mouth once more…

With his very lips, with his very voice.

The very moment I always pray, dreaming at night and tirelessly wishing during the day.

From him, whom I loved dearly even before I learned to wield a weapon and spar with the betas in the pack…

Came the sweetest and most prized words my heart could ever wished for at the moment,

“Carrie… my mate…”

My lips trembled, my wolf urging me to respond, but a flush of heat suddenly overwhelmed me.

My mind went blank, causing everything in me to forget how to function properly.

I have always wished that Arthur would stop looking at me like a little sister, that he would finally see me as a woman.

Now he is standing before me, doing exactly what I wished for…

But then, I heard the cheers around me. Chloe looked at me with sincere happiness, my brother Blake also watched with a meaningful gaze.

I instantly became flustered and my entire body felt a wave of goosebumps and heat.

Blake suddenly raised his brows and looked at me and Arthur saying, “Why are you two staring at each other for so long? You should start acknowledging each other already…”

Arthur seemed to have come to his senses and looked at me. With a tone and expression of not getting tired of saying it for the third time, he muttered. “Carrie, my mate.”

Right after his words, the cheers in the crowd added to my nervousness.

My heart was beating wildly at the moment, almost causing me to forget how to breathe.

Looking at Arthur’s gentle expression and the anticipation in his face, I could no longer take it and…

Ran away, utterly embarrassed!
