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
Blake’s POVIt was supposed to be a wonderful night for us, as I would finally healed with the antidote that Alpha Dean gave me. As my wolf howled with excitement, I took the antidote and drank it. Right away, I felt the results.Bit by bit I could feel my body warmed up and became lighter. The pain that I had been suppressing slowly disappeared. Finally being free of this struggle, I shifted, and my wolf and I ran freely in the woods, deeply relieved of our recovery. That power was back and my wolf was so excited. Under the full moon, he howled wantonly, the whole pack echoes his voice.However, a few moments later, a sudden wave of panic rose in my heart as I and my wolf felt something was happening to our mate. “Chloe!” I rushed back to the spot where Chloe stood. From a distance I could already see her trembling. Her face pale and her hands clutched against her chest as she gasped for air. I hurriedly shifted back and hugged her as she collapsed in my arms. “Chloe, what’s wro
"I think there is another way... that is to kill Chloe's wolf completely..." I was still in daze as I heard someone say. Though their voice were soft, the meaning behind their words made me panic.'Kill Aurora...? No....!' I tried to open my eyes and saw Blake and Arthur looking at me with worries eyes. Seeing that I woke up and struggling, Blake immediately helped me to sit up.I sat on the bed and leaned my head on Blake's shoulder. My body was feeling so weak and uncomfortable. But at that moment, my mind was only filled with one thought. "Is Aurora okay?" I asked them with a worried tone.Blake gave me a deep look before nodding his head. "She's okay," he said, immediately making me feel relieved. However, that feeling was short lived as I saw Blake and Arthur looking at each other, as if they were hiding something from me.An ominous feeling appeared in my heart. I wanted to ask them what was going on. But before I could open my mouth to speak, Arthur made excuses before leaving
Blake's words were like thunder in my ears, completely catching me off guard."A-astor?" I repeated. In fact, I have been hearing about Teacher Astor's deeds from the betas. He has been called the 'trainer from hell'. Every time they told me a story about him, I became so frightened that I swore that she would never become Astor's student.But to think that Blake would directly give me this kind of "surprise".A frightened expression appeared on my face. Having those betas as my trainers was already tough enough... I definitely did not want to change them for a teacher in hell!Thus, sheepishly, I tried to change Blake's decision."I... I h-heard about Teacher Astor... I-I didn't know he is your teacher!" I laughed awkwardly. "B-but Blake... look at the difference between you and I...""I am someone with such a poor ability... I definitely don't need to have the same teacher as you!" I said with a hurried tone.Blake deeply looked at me. He did not show whether he saw through my inte
