A Beautiful Luna After Rejection - Chapter 325
325 A Flash Of Silver Light
Ten minutes passed.
If I still couldn’t find any clues after ten minutes, I’d go back.
I said to myself in my heart.
The silver thing was probably produced by someone holding something that reflected light because no animal had silver fur. The biggest possibility was that someone was holding a mirror, watch, compass, or something like that, and I saw it through the refraction of the sun.
There was someone here. That was good news for me.
Even though I’d walked for a long time today, I could confirm that I was within the range of the Lycan pack.
At Brandon’s inauguration ceremony, everyone witnessed me as Michael’s mate, which meant that many people would know of my existence. With the identity of Michael’s consort, it shouldn’t be difficult to ask him to do me a small favor and bring me back.
After that, I could take a comfortable bath and enjoy the dinner the butler served me.

I didn’t know how many ten minutes it had been, but every time I wanted to give up, that silver light would flash twice, not far away. I suspected the other party was also walking non-stop, and I had been chasing after him. Our speed was probably about the same, so I kept a distance from him.
I tapped on my legs, which were already starting to ache, and wanted to give up on this slim chance.
Perhaps I only saw the sunlight reflected off a leaf. It would be foolish to keep chasing. I didn’t have much time left to go back.
But where was this place?
I looked around at the unfamiliar trees in a daze. Along the way, I made marks on some trees to avoid getting lost in the forest, but every tree here looked the same. I couldn’t find the tree I had marked.
The silver light in the distance flickered a few more times. I knew I had no other choice, so I could only hold on to my last glimmer of hope and continue chasing.
***
The sky gradually darkened, and the silver light disappeared.
I sat on a large rock and started to think about what I should do.
Thinking back on my actions, I felt like I had lost my mind. So what if that person was a human? Why did I follow him into the depths of the forest?
However, when I saw that silver color, I felt an indescribable attraction. My intuition told me that it would help me find my way back. It felt like I was under some spell.
Even now, I still didn’t think he was a bad person. It was just that I was trapped here.
I had also considered having Mia rush on her way as the forest was more suitable for her.
However, I was already feeling a little tired, and the transformation would use up more of my energy. If I was completely exhausted and Mia could not find her way out of there, I would have to spend the night in the forest.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and I was getting increasingly anxious.
I’d been wandering around this forest for a long time and didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know how Michael would react if he didn’t see me when he came home at night.
Would he come out to find me? He definitely would. But would he be able to find me? I could only hope that as mates could sense each other and hoped that Michael could follow my breath to find where I was and take me back.
I began to regret my reckless behavior today. I would have to spend the night here if no one could find me tonight. I’d never had the experience of spending the night alone in the wilderness. I used to participate in activities like camping in high school, but people organized them. We had a lot of people together, and at night, we would sing and chat around the bonfire. We also had tents and warm sleeping bags.
The cold night wind blew past my coat, causing its collar to flutter.
I buttoned up to the top button but still felt the cold wind pouring into my clothes.
“Is anyone there?
“Is anyone there?”
I shouted without much hope, hoping some patrolling soldier would hear me and take me back.
I was guessing that this was already the depths of the forest. Even if there were patrols, they wouldn’t come here.
The silver light that I’d been following, had it really disappeared? Or was he observing me from some hidden corner?
I couldn’t help but shiver. What was his purpose if someone had deliberately led me to this place? Other than Joanna, I didn’t have any bad blood with anyone in the palace. And if they wanted to do something to me, today’s events were too random.
I jumped out of the window today and got lost in the forest. Every factor was an unexpected result.
But if they wanted to trap me in this forest, what was the point of doing this? What good would that do them?
