Chapter 105
Carrie squealed in delight the moment she heard my agreement of the matter.
She then rushed forward and hugged me warmly much to my helplessness.
“Hey, your hair and make-up will be ruined!” Knowing that there’s no stopping her from showing what
she really feels, I could only remind her of her look at the moment.
“O-Oh…” Carrie froze and suddenly touched her face cluelessly. Then her two bright eyes looked at me
and asked worriedly, “Is it ruined?”
I let out a chuckle, feeling that Carrie still felt like her little old self even though she would now be
stepping as an adult member of the pack.
“It still looks fine, but please pay attention… you don’t want to ruin your look right now aren’t you?” I
teased.
Carrie pouted her lips and lamented over the fact of how she was feeling uncomfortable about the way
the servants dressed her, “If not for the fact that they really did a good job, I would have ran to the
bathroom and erased all of these…”
I let out a chuckle once more and held her hand.
We stood together and I looked at her once more, making sure that she would look the best for this
special night.
Carrie stood straight, wearing a silver flowy gown that was not revealing yet elegant at the same time.
As she had the same blood as Blake, the two of them had a natural dignified look of a leader whenever
they stood from the crowd. Even so, her youthful beauty did not contrast the theme of the dress and the
jewelry embellishments around.
Regal beauty.
It was the first impression I had the moment I saw her in this look.
“You are beautiful Carrie… Your mate will surely be enthralled by your presence.” I smiled and
encouraged her once more.
Finally, we walked out of the pack house and managed to see from a far how beautiful the venue is.
When we reached the entrance to the pack house, Blake was already there, dressed in a formal suit
which matches Carrie as well. I smiled and allowed the two siblings to walk hand in hand as we headed
to the venue.
“Ready?” Blake looked at Carrie with a proud and complicated look on his face.
It seemed like as an older brother, he felt emotional upon having to see his little sister whom he
pampered and cared about finally becoming an adult. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Carrie took a deep breath and looked at the venue which was now not far from where we were.
“Nervous!”
Blake looked at me gently, then to Carrie and replied in a tender tone, “We will be here for you no
matter what..”
A beautiful smile appeared on Carrie’s face, like a flower now willing to show it’s colorful petals on a the
vast gardens, “I know~”
When we reached the venue, a loud announcement was made and the surroundings turned quiet.
The members of the pack stood up and looked toward our direction with anticipation and happiness on
their faces.
They looked toward Carrie and Blake walking slowly on the red carpet, beholding the beauty and awe
of the two siblings.
I smiled in satisfaction upon looking at Carrie’s surprised and excited expression the moment she
looked at the venue.
The entire place was lit with hundreds of golden yellow lanterns that looked like fireflies dancing all
around the place so beautifully.
As I suggested, the place would be decorated with fresh flowers and green vines all around while I
created some butterflies all around. With the help from the other servants, we were able to achieve the
effect of having a magical garden.
And Carrie as the celebrant became the muse of it all.
The theme of the venue also became cohesive with her headdress that was in the shape of a butterfly
ridden with flowery crystals all over.
It was a good sight to behold and I was genuinely relieved to see Carrie’s excitement as she looked
around.
“Chloe… I did not know it would be this nice!” After Blake and her speech and some formal ceremony,
Carrie had already pulled me aside as she could no longer contain her happiness over the matter.
She was still shivering in nervousness earlier on but the liveliness of the room seemed to have
lightened her mood as well.
It seems like she temporarily forgot her anxiousness over the matter of Arthur being her mate or not.
She was about to stay beside me and talk even more but then the pack members started to line up and
greet her sincerely.
She looked at me apologetically and could only helplessly smile to receive the greetings from others.
I waved my hand and decided to take a look at the food on the banquet table. Getting a little bit of food
that caught my attention, I sat on the table and made sure that I was within Carrie’s line of sight.
On the other part of the party, Blake was also surrounded with several unknown people who seemed to
not belong to the Silver pack. It was obvious that these are guests from the other packs, whom Blake
had a good relationship with.
Both siblings were busy, even so I did not feel the slightest bit lonely, because from time to time, there
would be a few pack members who would greet me as well.
The smell of wine also lingered around, unfortunately I could not consume a single sip because of my
pregnancy. And so I laid my eyes on the blueberry cheesecake on my plate and was feeling quite
satisfied at the moment.
After a long while, I felt someone joining me at the table.
Looking up, I saw Carrie sitting down in an exhausted manner.
“Hah… so tired…” She sighed and took a quick sip of the drink that was already in her hand.
“You carried yourself well, you were nervous at first but then you managed to overcome it with ease…”
I commended her for being able to socialize so fluidly.
“You do not know how much energy I-” Carrie was still in the middle of her words when she suddenly
froze in shock.
“Chloe… I smelled something amazing! Is it the smell of my mate?” She sat up straight and looked
around excitedly.
“It probably is!” I immediately confirmed as I had already experienced the same back then.
Her eyes wandered around as she tried to follow that scent. She held my hand tightly, wanting me to
also be with her as she searched for her mate.
We followed the scent until we were led to a more secluded place out of the bustle of the party.
The next moment however, Carrie started to stand still and shiver. Contrary to her cheery expression
earlier on, her face had a trace of nervousness and disbelief.
“What’s the matter?” I furrowed my brows and immediately knew that something bad happened.
Carrie looked at me, clearly shaken and nervous. As she was holding my hand, I could feel that it
suddenly started to turn cold.
Before my eyes she started to break down as her body trembled and tears formed in her eyes.
“Chloeee…. It’s not Arthur’s scent!” She froze and started to cry.
“Carrie calm down, let’s walk over there… many people can see you crying here…” Not knowing what
to do, not what to advise against the fate she had, I could only suggest for her to move to another place
away from random people’s prying eyes.
But Carrie was too emotional to even budge.
The next moment, I heard a faint sound of footsteps behind. I instinctively looked up and was surprised
by what I saw.
The man, Carrie’s mate, approached us and called her name, “Carrie… mate…”
Carrie was still shaking when she lifted her head to see who was the man behind, her eyes open wide
in disbelief.
