Chapter 34
Isabella's POV
My mind was brutal again, thinking about what if it was actually true that I was Elara that Lucas meant. Until I thought that I was the Elara figure who was still alive. Ah, again and again, I was made to over-dramatize the situation. I began to dismiss the bad thoughts in my brain.
Suddenly Lucas asked me.
"Isabella, do you want to come tonight?"
He looked at me hopefully.
I frowned and asked back, “Where?"
"There's a festival tonight at the top of the hill."
"What festival?"
"The festival that is always a routine activity for the wolves is not only our pack, the Shadow Fang Pack, but is also attended by many wolves from other packs. The festival is held once a month. Where it is held right in the middle of the month on the full moon. Because all werewolves will definitely transform into wolves themselves completely. Do you want to go there?"
"Um, quite interesting, okay. I'll go there with you."
"Okay, get ready tonight we'll just leave suddenly."
"I just heard about holding a festival like that. Even though I'm an omega, am I lacking experience? Hehe..." While scratching the back of my head.
"Ah no, because this festival has only been held for a few months now. The elders are the ones who pioneered it. So they must be there every month."
"Elder?" I started to remember something. I tried to remember again. Finally, I found the answer from my memory.
The elder had been present in my dream a few days ago. He was a key witness to the holder of the light. Is this in line with what I've been looking for so far? Will I soon get an answer to my curiosity regarding Elara's whereabouts? Emm it seems like I really have to go to the festival and make sure that the elder is the elder in my dream. Yes, I have to do it so I can get some clarity. I have to meet the elder and, if possible, interact with him.
"Good!" I muttered too loudly.
"Huh, what's good?" Lucas asked in surprise.
"Huh? Oh no, I mean it's good if you invite me to the event. It means I will add new relations from a gathering and meeting."
"Oh yeah, that's good."
Hmm, stupid! It could have slipped out like that. Luckily I could make excuses.
A moment later, the hour had passed, and Lucas and I were separated because we were doing our own activities. Including preparing to attend the festival. Finally, Lucas came back to me in front of my base camp. He was ready with his dignified appearance. I had also dressed up as usual if I was going to attend an official event.
We started walking and many wolves from the Shadow Fang Pack also took part in this event. We were like doing a convoy up the hill but not really tied down. Anyone can join and anyone doesn't have to. This event is free, not binding, and mandatory to join.
In the middle of the journey, I felt my youthful spirit burning again. As if I wasn't married at all. As if I was still single and still free to do many things I wanted as I pleased. The experience with Lucas had awakened my youthful spirit. I felt like I had discovered many new things with him. I thought he was nothing. But it turns out he has a lot of knowledge that makes me quite amazed. No less great than my husband Ethan.
I really feel confused now. It feels like a dilemma faced with two wolves who are half-hearted and full of charisma. Between Ethan and Lucas, I am now trying to fight for the top position in my heart. I can't lie to myself that I have felt a slightly different feeling for Lucas. Not closing my eyes it seems like this feeling of sympathy is a form of love that has just blossomed. Even without realizing it, I looked at his face while walking.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Lucas' voice surprised me.
"Huh, why?" I was surprised and felt embarrassed and awkward.
"You've been looking at my ears while smiling. Is there something strange with my ears?"
Between embarrassment and wanting to laugh. I, who was awkward, started to be entertained by Lucas' chatter. I thought he was serious about my attitude. It turned out he looked at my attitude differently. Even though I wasn't looking at his ears, I was looking at his charming face, especially the sides of his face. He was so handsome and exotic. I wanted to laugh, but there were many other wolves here, and we were on a journey. I stopped myself from laughing and kept it to myself. Silencing my laughter without anyone knowing that I wanted to laugh out loud because of Lucas' actions.
Without realizing it, we finally arrived at the top of this hill. This hill is above the Shadow Fang Pack area where under this hill there is another hidden area. The area is called the Leon Ching Pack area. It is said that only the dignitaries live in the area including the elders that Lucas mentioned earlier. The peak of this hill is called Bessara Mountain. Many people say that behind Bessara Mountain there are many meanings.
One of them is that there is a site that has not been revealed and is still a mystery. It is said that there used to be life like on the plains here. Even the peak of the glory of the wolf nation's life is located on this peak. It used to not be shaped like this peak. That is also said because I only heard rumors from other wolves. Even my father always forbade me from entering the borders of this area. But this time I want to have a new experience. Because my father also did not know that I came here and set foot on this peak.
"Finally we have arrived." While exhaling, Lucas smiled.
Welcomed with decorations and signs that said welcome to the brave werewolves. Emm ... It turns out that this event is only intended for those who have high enough adrenaline to be able to reach this peak. Great, I am now one of them. Yes, this is because of Lucas; if it wasn't for him, who invited me here, I would never have known this place.
"Let's go in!"
Lucas pulled my hand excitedly without limits. I felt free and as if he was a very close part of me. There were already many people here and it was almost midnight. We began to transform into wolves, and each had their own characteristics. Echoing and reverberating as if reaching the skyscrapers there.
"Auuuuuuuuu."
Nothing has changed here. All the wolves show their important side. There are many things that make me feel amazed by the appearance here. Amazing, this is my first experience.
