Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 122

“D-destroyed by the L-lycan King?” I mumbled with my heart skipping a beat.

Here sitting beside me was a person that was a victim of Blake’s drastic decision.

“Yes… he did…” There was a flash of coldness in his gray eyes as he answered.

The veins on his hand appeared as he tightened the grip on his skewered rabbit meat. “When I came

back to our territory for a mission, all I saw were ruins and corpses…”

“I went around and found that the Silver Pack was invading enemy packs during this time, and I knew…

they did it to my pack!”

The silence between us became heavier as I felt the strong sense of guilt in my heart. I cannot look at

Caleb’s face anymore, afraid that he would find my uneasiness suspicious.

“I-i see…” I uttered, trying to sound as normal as possible, “Then where are you heading to?”

Caleb looked at the stars in the sky and replied with loneliness in his heart, “Searching for survivors…

when I buried the corpses there were some people missing… so they might have escaped..”

Sighing with a heavy heart I replied, “Let’s hope for the best…”

“Hmm…” Caleb looked down at the fire in front of us and hummed.

After some silence once more, I stood up and told him that I retired for the night.

Caleb also stood and extinguished the fire with ashes. Instantly the surroundings became darker, with

only the faint moonlight lighting our way.

As I headed up to the tree where I would be resting, I heard Caleb’s voice behind me as he said slowly,

“There is a forest north from here… with vast rare herbs none of us could identify…”

My hand paused midair as I looked at Caleb back, “Rare herbs?”

I uttered with anticipation. In my mind, the worry of Aurora being poisoned weighs me down. And so

even a little hope like this would effectively spike my passion to go and find a way to detoxify the

poison.

“En… I am heading in that direction as well, because that place is dangerous… suitable for desperate

people looking for a place to hide.” Caleb looked at me with a certain meaning in his eyes.

He is suggesting for us to travel together as we might both head into the same destination.

“I-i…” Although his idea actually made sense, hesitation and guilt filled my heart as I remember his

enmity towards Blake and the Silver Pack.

What if he discovered that I was once Blake’s Luna and that the trigger of his killing spree was actually

me?

This might be a time ticking bomb.

“You can think about it until the morning…” Caleb sensed my struggle and commented before he

immediately turned to climb on his own tree.

The night ended just like that, but I was filled with thoughts about the forest in the north.

But the fear in my heart towards Caleb’s possible reaction is a matter I could not ignore. With the way

he carried himself alone in the forest after the tragedy that happened to him, I knew that once he

showed his hostility toward me, I would have no way to defend myself against him?

‘What if I really found the cure in that place?’ I pondered, weighing if the danger is worth taking at this

moment.

The morning had already arrived; however, I have not yet come to a decision.

In the end, Caleb looked at me and said, “It’s up to you to believe but I do not care about your past and

that I wish you no harm. Right now, you are just someone I want to help…”

I paused looking at his calm eyes. His countenance was still cold and vigilant, but there was no hint of

treachery on his expression.

After pondering for some time, I finally nodded and agreed.

Even as I gave the decision, there was no change in Caleb’s eyes. His expression tells me that my

agreement would come eventually.

Immediately that morning, we set off to the north. Heading towards the mystic north forest that even the

greatest pack do not dare to thread easily.

The farther we were able to travel during the day, the better it was.

During the trip, Caleb has been surprisingly considerate toward me.

“You are still injured, so I cannot suggest that you ride on my wolf’s back at full speed… we shall travel

on foot. It will be kinder to your body.”

When I was at my limit he would decide to stop and take a break allowing me to recover quickly.

We operated in a synergy that is quite unusual as we are still considered strangers to each other.

Caleb is in charge of hunting and protecting, while I was in charge of cooking and concocting medicine

and recovery tonics.

With that, even when Caleb was unable to shift to his wolf, our speed was not that slow either.

On the third day of traveling, I was already fully recovered, thanks to the medicine teacher Astor and

Arthur provided, as well as the herbs that I managed to gather along the way.

“We can travel at full speed tomorrow… I guess…” Caleb expressionlessly glanced at me and

commented.

“Indeed… Thank you for looking after me.” I looked at him gratefully and smiled.

These three days, I found that Caleb was a pretty one-track minded person. When he helps, he helps

without care. When he decides he ensures that he could see through the outcome till the end.

“If nothing goes wrong we can reach there in around a month while traveling at full speed…” Caleb

looked at the stars as he started to calculate the distance we still need to thread to.

“But now we are near another pack’s territory. We must travel cautiously.” Caleb warned heavily.

“Alright.” I answered as I took a portion of our dry ration and a potion, “This is the scent masking potion

I prepared in advance. I have prepared enough for three days… do you think it would be enough?”

Since there might be someone around, we decided not to use fire throughout the night. We could only

eat dry rations until we successfully passed through the territory of the pack ahead.

It is also necessary for us to hide our scents from the other werewolves as they would definitely detect

our presence once we reached a certain distance.

“It should be enough…” Caleb took the food and potion.

Without hesitation he drank the potion immediately.

The night was quiet but the two of us were still vigilant. In the middle of the night, two of us woke up at

the same time as we had detected several presences approaching near our respective hiding place.

I subconsciously looked at Caleb who was leaning on top of the tree just across me and he gestured © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

for me to not panic and stay still.

I held my breath in nervousness as I observed the figures approaching. They were two people vigilantly

scanning their surroundings.

“It is really a bummer! Aren’t we going to attack some packs?! Why do we still need to patrol the

territory?!” One of the men approaching complained.

My heart skipped a beat as I heard their words. It seemed like the pack we ran with was actually a

hostile pack.

“Cheh… the leaders were actually not bothered at all, Red Moon Pack is basically dead. Even their

Alpha is not a threat to our weakest Beta! Why are you complaining??!” The other wolf replied with

disdain.

Upon hearing his words, however, my heart started to turn cold and a great sense of panic rushed over

me. I could not believe what I just heard!

We were already far from the Red Moon Pack, and yet I would stumble on a pack that is actually

planning for their doom!
