Blake’s POVWhen the night came, I headed on my way to meet that person. As the cold wind blew over my body, I could not help but think about the things I have gained after leaving my pack's territory. In the past, I was never interested in going out of the Silver Pack and roaming around to see things. If not for my people being poisoned, I would have not even thought of stepping out of my territory to find the culprit.The first time I arrived in the Red Moon Pack, the first impression I had was disgust and apathy towards the members of this place. The people here were self-centered and blind, only looking at the things that would benefit them. It was truly disgusting to see this kind of pack. I never in the slightest wanted to mingle myself with the Red Moon Pack. But I had no choice since I wanted to investigate the perpetrators of pack’s poisoning.'After returning here for the second time, the members of this pack still did not give me a good impression,' I thought coldly.‘B
The time for our departure quickly came. Without delay, I packed my things and waited to meet Blake. Scanning my belongings one last time, my eyes stayed at the mask that was laid on the bedside. A part of me wanted to go outside and reveal myself to them for the last time. But after some time of pondering deeply, I decided to put the mask on my face. It was the last time I would have to see the Red Moon Pack. I chose for it to be a bitter yet sweet memory.Since my choice to leave them included my decision to be happy. And so I smiled and walked out of the door. However, my smile froze when I realized that someone was standing at the door, and it was someone who I least wanted to see - Alan. He was walking towards me with a plate in his hand. I could only wipe the smile off my face and nodded at him as a greeting. On the other hand, Alan also nodded and handed over the plate directly to me. I realized that it was a plate of freshly baked blueberry cheesecake. “I heard that y
Carrie was so excited when we arrived at the Silver Pack.She ran out with a bright smile on her face and immediately gave me a warm affectionate hug. “Chloe! You’re back! I miss you so much~” She exclaimed in delight as she kept hugging me. Although it seemed like she was giving me her full attention, I did not miss how her eyes looked sneakily at Arthur’s direction, seemingly curious about how he had been. I let out a knowing smile and deliberately teased her by asking, “Are you really sure that it was only me who you missed? Did you not miss Blake, your brother? Or perhaps, Arthur?” The moment I mentioned Arthur’s name, Carrie’s body flinched, and his face reddened in a bold blush, clearly unprepared for my teasing. Her pupils were trembling as she took a nervous glance at Arthur who was also feeling quite overwhelmed by the sudden attention. I chuckled at the two’s awkward reactions and said, “Do not worry, Arthur has been doing well… in fact in the Red moon pack he…” I paused and
Hearing Blake’s question, my body froze in bafflement. It never crossed my mind that I would suddenly hear him ask about my wolf with a question like that. It made me nervous, so much that I started to pick my fingers once again…“B-Blake I… I did not mean to lie to you… I…” I shuddered, squeezing out words that could explain the situation. It was never my intention to hide the things about my wolf to Blake. But this was matter which had covered my life in darkness since childhood… I simply could not help but avoid confronting this matter.“Chloe… you do not have to blame yourself… I just wanted to know more about you so I asked…” Blake walked over and touched my trembling shoulders. He looked at me gently and the next moment, my trembling stopped. It was quite astounding to see how his simple approach would have a magical effect on me.It was as if all my worries were swept away with just a touch of his warm hand and the gentle look in his eyes.“Blake, it is as you said… My wolf
I was shocked when I heard Blake's words. My body subconsciously took two steps back however, the plate in my hand made a sound. Unfortunately, Arthur felt my movements and immediately asked in vigilance, “Who’s there?” For a moment, I did not know what to do, but since it was harder for me to hide with the things in my hand, I tried to adjust my emotions, pretending that I had just arrived here.“It's me!” I announced completely changing my tone as one who had just arrived in the office excitedly. Forming an innocent smile on my face, I pushed the door and entered the study. As I saw the two people in the study staring at me intently, I pretended to be relaxed while asking them.“Why are you staring at me? Did I disturb you with your talk just now?” After asking the question, I put on a troubled expression to indicate that I kind of feel bad that I interrupted their talk. Fortunately after hearing my words, Arthur and Blake looked relieved. They seemed to have confirmed that I
Hearing her answer, I could not believe. How could I have never found out that my wolf was poisoned?“All this time… you are suffering, Aurora… and I did not even have the slightest idea…” I muttered while trembling in sudden realization. “I… I used to blame you for being so weak that I never got my father's attention… I was so selfish and naive…” I uttered in great guilt, while my eyes heated up in tears. My entire being was aching for my wolf’s suffering. All my life, I only knew that I was the one who has been stuck in the cruelty of my family’s treatment…“Aurora… I’m sorry…” “I have no idea…”“I am so sorry… you have been suffering for so long… I didn't even know!” I hugged myself creating an illusion of hugging my poor wolf who had been suffering all this time. “Chloe… do not blame yourself. It is not your fault,” Suddenly, Aurora’s comforting voice rang in my mind, but that only added to my heartache. “At first, I thought I could gradually get rid of the poison, but the p
I stared at Arthur blankly, unsure what he meant. “Chloe…” He started to explain. “Actually… Blake and I have been researching the possible poison of your wolf.”“We found out that combined with the symptoms you described to us before, it is most likely that you have been given the poison from a Simala flower…”“This poison was popular years ago and people used it with the primary purpose of restraining the ability of the wolves. But because of its fatality, this poison was banned, and its production was prohibited.” The more I listened to Arthur, the more and more my body felt cold.“B-banned?” I stuttered, my mind was in a mess. Arthur sighed, clearly sympathizing with me. He carefully replied, “This poison is so fatal that once it is given to a werewolf, either the human or her wolf would die. There is yet to be an instance when both of them survive.”“And up until now, no one has yet to find an antidote for this poison…” He added.Blake and Arthur watched me closely, worry was
I stood at the window on the second floor, looking out at Carrie and Arthur who are talking not far away. Beside me, Blake was dealing with things in the room. In the end, Carrie listened to my suggestion and found Arthur to have a serious talk. I was really dumbfounded the moment I saw Carrie and Arthur’s figures from the window. ‘Carrie is indeed fast… she really found Arthur and talked to him right away,’ I shook my head in helplessness while I watched them from afar.Although I could not hear what the two of them were talking about, I could clearly feel that Carrie was nervous and overwhelmed. In the beginning, Carrie still had a big expectant smile on her face as she conversed with Arthur. Looking at their figures, one looked with pure love and affection, another with a gentle yet reserved gaze, I still found that the scene between them was a beautiful picture. Seeing them like that, I could not help but remember a hint of myself and Alan when we were together at the beginn
