Chapter 8

Isabella's POV
Lila began to close her eyelids very seriously to find a way out of my problem. I waited for her to finish to get a definite answer. Because I really felt very confused. Honestly, I felt unable to maintain my relationship with Ethan. Moreover, this concerns a vulnerable conflict in his family relationship. I understand that the relationship between a sibling and a brother cannot be replaced by a romantic relationship. I don't want my presence in Ethan's life to damage his sibling's relationship with Lucas even more.
Lila began to return to normal and opened her eyelids. Then she looked at me seriously and began to say the words that I had been waiting for to come out of her mouth. Finally, she was about to get the thoughts out of her head.
"Wait! This is indeed quite complicated. It seems like a trivial thing but it turns out to be quite difficult. Even very difficult. Because Lucas' status is Ethan's younger brother. Um..."
That was all that came out of Lila's mouth. She screamed again with her index finger on her chin. I waited for the next sentence to come out of her mouth again. Maybe a sentence that was more powerful and had the potential to be a solution that I could adopt.
Her mouth began to tremble, and she seemed to be about to utter her magical sentences again. I was very enthusiastic waiting for her. Indicating that I really needed her advice as a cure for my anxiety lately.
"Um, but never mind."
"Huh? Never mind, what do you think?" I was wide-eyed and shocked by Lila's next answer. I thought she would stun me with wise words full of solutions. But she instead said something else that I didn't expect to come out of her always wise mouth.
"Yes, stop your silly search for Lucas's unimportant story. His story really doesn't make sense. In my opinion, Lucas is indeed depressed. He is really crazy because he has difficulty moving on from his ex-girlfriend named Elara. So he made up a story as freely as possible to trick you and other people. He thought that Ethan would easily give and hand you over to him. No! I think that Ethan will keep you to continue being Luna for him to accompany until the end of his life. So in my opinion, um... You stop all your curiosity about Lucas' story and Elara's figure. Focus on your relationship with Ethan. In fact, you almost forgot about the engagement event that was not finished and had been paused. It seems like you have to meet Ethan immediately and make sure everything goes as smoothly as you planned at the beginning!"
I was silent, absorbing Lila's advice which was indeed very logical. There was some truth in Lila's words. I had to continue the engagement event and immediately meet Ethan and his family. Without Lucas having to know all my new plans. Okay, I will immediately confirm everything with Ethan.
"Okay, I think your suggestion is very reasonable and acceptable to my common sense. I will go to Ethan after this to make sure our relationship continues to a more serious level."
"Well, that's what I expected. You two are very compatible. I hope my best friend finds her true love soon. Not busy with things that don't need to be thought about. Lucas is just a small test for your relationship. The rest of you will be able to enjoy your lives together in a harmonious atmosphere. So far, just let Lucas be busy with chaos. Meanwhile, you and Ethan remain in a calm position. Consider everything about Lucas as just a passing wind! Don't pay attention to all his silliness!"
"Um okay, I will try to brush it all off and focus back on my relationship with Ethan."
"That's good then, I hope your relationship remains fine. I'm sure you will reach your goals and plans in establishing and building a harmonious household relationship.”
I took a deep breath and let it out. As a sign of trying to get rid of the bad energy that had been binding me. I felt half-satisfied with Lila's answer. I hope I don't change my mind and stick to my current position. I will not expand on the chaos created by Lucas. I will remain focused on my lover, Ethan. That's my promise, I will remain loyal to Ethan only. I also hope Ethan will be loyal to me. I don't want Ethan to be fooled by feelings of discomfort towards his younger brother.
I am very sure that Ethan will continue to fight for me. Without having to have a long dispute with his younger brother. I also don't want to see any ongoing conflict between my younger and older siblings because of my position. I hope everything will be fine in the future. However, seeing Lucas' behavior is difficult to digest. He looks stubborn in his belief that I am the reincarnation of Elara.
"Oh yeah, did you forget?" Lila suddenly surprised me by interrupting all the contents of my long daydream.
"Hmm, what? You just surprised me."
"Oh, are you surprised? I'm sorry!"
"Yes, of course, no problem. Um.. what did I forget again?"
"Again and again you forget something about the pack."
"About the pack?"
"Yes about the pack."
"What is it?"
I was really curious again by Lila. I started to get nervous because I started to overthink. I thought I had made a big mistake again in the pack. So Lila started to remind me again.
"Have I made a mistake again in the pack?"
"No! No! This is just a small accident I think. You forgot something that I think would be considered important by the pack members."
I frowned, not understanding what Lila just said.
"Just get to the point! Don't beat around the bush, so I don't feel even more confused."
"Okay, you haven't had a meeting with the pack members."
"Meeting? What meeting do you mean?"
"You've had a meeting with the wolf leaders from various packs. Did you forget?"
"Oh yeah right, I almost forgot."
"Yes, you haven't conveyed the contents of the meeting to the pack members. You should immediately gather the wolves at Crystal Lake Pack and then apologize for your carelessness that delayed it for so long. Make the proposal event a reasonable excuse so that they can accept your carelessness with an open heart!"
"Yes, thank you for the idea and suggestion, I will do it immediately. I hope they can forgive me and accept all my reasons."
I looked ahead and started to be optimistic after meeting Lila. I hope everything goes smoothly without any more obstacles. Lila always has a way of making me calm down again.
