Teacher Astor told me his request. Not only were his words firm, but his eyes were also filled with seriousness. Just from his eyes, I knew how important this matter was for him. I gulped nervously before holding my fists tight. Then, I gave him a firm nod. "Teacher, I assure you that I will never leave Blake. And I will never abandon the SIlver Pack... not unless Blake or the Silver Pack abandon me first..."I did not know where my courage came from. But when I heard Astor's question, in my heart, I just knew the answer. And as I spoke, my heart never felt so firm and certain. Certain to my dedication to Blake as well as the Silver Pack. And I just knew... no matter what happened, I would stay beside them and fight for them. No matter what happened... no matter what it took. In the following week, in addition to training with the betas, I also continued learning medical knowledge from Teacher Astor. "I can't believe this..." Carrie, who was looking over my shoulder as I treated o
In the end, I was not able to hear his answer. Even so, I did not ask about it again as I thought that it might be a confidential task for him due to being the Alpha of the Silver pack. Thinking that the day would end up like that, I was proven otherwise the same evening. When dinner time came, Carrie insisted that I go with her blindfolded. I was utterly confused and baffled about it, but I followed her request nonetheless, thinking that it was only one of her playful antics.Going down the stairs, my feet felt the cobblestone pathway. Then a little while later, my shoes were already stepping onto the lush grass drape prompting me that Carrie was taking me somewhere a bit further."Carrie, are we there yet?" I asked rather nervously as I could slowly feel that we were completely going out of the pack house. "Almost there, Chloe… Just hold on a little bit…" Carrie answered under her playful chuckle then she pulled me even faster. My feet followed her incessantly until we finally
When I woke up, it was almost noon the next day. I looked at the side of my bed and found that Blake had already left. Thinking back to what happened last night, I couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. ‘I never knew that I could be so bold’ I thought as the scene of Blake and I passionately kissing until I fell asleep flooded my mind like a raging river. Feeling the inexplicable bliss, I prepared for the day and went to Blake happily. My cheeks heated up as my heart felt warm and giddy. The smile on my face was not even whipped out since the moment I left the room. However, as I walked toward Blake’s office, I could not help but notice the way everyone looked at me strangely. It was far from the happy and accepting smiles I received last night at my birthday party. They just greeted me and left in a hurry, everyone was unnatural. Even so, that did not affect my mood. I didn't think much about it until I got there at the door of Blake's room. I saw Carrie just coming out o
"Chloe..." Blake entered the room and called me. When he saw my current state, a deep frown started to appear on his lips. I sat up immediately and tried to smile, pretending that nothing was wrong. A look of concern appeared on Blake's eyes as he approached me and sat beside me. "Chloe..." He called my name again. "About Lyra..." Hearing her name on his lips, I felt a painful pang in my heart. "You might have heard about her already," Blake started to explain. "It's true. Lyra and I had a long history together..." He added as my heart continued to sink, "She is a great fighter, someone who fought side by side with me, someone that I can trust fully." Blake continued to explain. I did not want to hear these words coming from him, but seeing Blake's sincere eyes, I froze still. "Chloe, she is someone very important to the Silver Pack... and also... to me," Blake did not deny it and told me directly. I could no longer continue listening anymore. Looking away, I let out a fake la
"Lyra…!" Blake bellowed, making me startle. In all the times that I knew him, it was the first time that I heard him so angry. I looked at Blake with wide eyes. It was not only me. Lyra likewise stared at him with surprise in her eyes and she stopped talking.My heart started thumping so loudly. What could have happened that made him so mad? And… What did Lyra mean when my wolf could not be cured?I looked at Blake with searching eyes. For a quarter of a second, I saw hesitation appeared in his eyes, but it was gone right away.I could not stay quiet anymore. "Blake?""What does she mean? Why did Lyra say… that my wolf could not be cured?" I heard my voice shaking.Everything about their conversation and words have made me confused. I could no longer understand what they were talking about.But instead of answering me, Blake’s expression turned even more livid as his eyes looked at Lyra. “This is the last time. I am warning you, Lyra…” He said in a low tone which could not help but
Hearing Lyra’s words, I was taken aback, clearly not getting what she meant. I raised my head and looked at her with a face full of questions and asked, “What do you really mean? You have also said this yesterday…” This time, Lyra did not hesitate, probably because she knew that Blake was already not around and explained, “Do you seriously think that the detoxification method of the poison is that easy to do? When you already know that the poison in your body was known to have no antidote or whatsoever, so much that even your Red Moon Pack could not even create something to counter it…” “You still did not doubt that the detoxification method is as easy as waiting for the full moon night and allowing Blake to ‘cure’ you?”“Seriously, do you really see yourself as the person who could stand side by side with Blake, when you don't even think of how simple things turned out to be?”“You know better than anyone how ruthless that poison is as you came from the Red Moon pack.” Lyra’s wo
“No…” I shook my head as calmly as possible so as to not let Blake suspect anything. Blake has always been the one who knew me the most ever since I ran away from the pack. And so I knew that if I was unable to convince him, he would definitely know what was up. “It is really that, I have really been feeling tired and out of sorts these days. I know that the detoxification process would be something that is highly risky. That is why I want to be on my best possible condition that night.” I answered without stuttering. Luckily, I was able to come up with something convincing. I have practiced these words in my head a number of times so that I would not mess up saying it infront of him. “Alright… Just remember not to worry too much. I will be there to help you so you do not have to be scared, okay?” Blake pulled me closer in his embrace and reminded me gently. “We will surely be able to detoxify your body and awaken Aurora by the next full moon night.” When Blake said these words,
But even with my playful response, the doubt and suspicion on Blake’s face did not fade.He looked at me and asked, “Then why would you say such a thing?” His voice was ever so gentle, he even affectionately flicked my forehead out of habit. But I knew that he was already thinking too much of my words. And so I immediately switched my mood and looked at him directly, my shoulders relaxed as I answered, “Well… I am saying this out of worry…”“After all, my body is very weak… If an accident happened during the detoxification process, then it might not only be dangerous for Aurora but to me as well…”“You know that I could not always stay with you right???” I looked him straight in his eyes, and let out a drop of my worry to be revealed in order to convince him of my ‘fear’. “What if I die-” I started to say when suddenly, I felt a finger pressed on my lips.“Chloe, stop…” Blake did not let me finish my sentence and answered with determination, “Aurora's poison would definitely cure a
