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
Lyra’s POVComing back to the Silver pack, I have already heard about Chloe, Blake’s mate and the future luna of the pack. At first, I did not think that much about their relationship. After all, though we have been in love with each other, my relationship with Blake back then did not even involve the moon goddess intervening for us to be mates. But that was until I saw Chloe for the first time after coming back. She was clearly different from me. Although she had a weak constitution, not even intimidating to look at, she seemed to have the power to read Blake like the back of her hand. When I saw how Blake looked at her so gently, and how he carefully cherished her in the palm of his hand, I knew in my heart that I had already completely lost him. I knew that the past that we had that I used to cherish would no longer be restored, especially now that Chloe, his mate, was with him. Even if it pained me to see them together, I never thought or even intended, not even in the sligh
After that night of the dinner, I made sure that I was at peace with my decision. So, in the next few days, I worked hard to make myself happy every day. I cherished every moment I spent in the Silver Pack. I happily bicker with Carrie and Arthur on my breaks. I did my best to honor Teacher Astor as well by listening to his teaching. I trained hard and interacted with my beta sparing mates as I knew that after I go, everything around me would be long gone. I knew that one day I would leave this place, so I did my best to create happy memories for myself and for the people around me, hoping that they would have something to remember me by. In a flash, the monthly women's gathering in the pack arrived. Carrie was especially excited about it because I would be the organizer for this month. “Chloe! I can’t wait to see what kind of party you will prepare later on!” She clung to my arm and happily exclaimed. “Well just make sure to attend later, I did my best to prepare everything so
The cold wind blew to my body, and I realized the trace of desperation in his voice. My father had always been steadfast and authoritative in every action. Even on the way he spoke, he would definitely not reveal any vulnerabilities to anyone, much less to me, - a daughter he never wanted. Still, I did not answer his mind link, but ever since that moment, his voice kept haunting me. After thinking about it deeply, I understood that something had happened. ‘It is highly possible that there was something that is happening in the Red Moon pack…’'I may need to go back to the Red Moon pack, and as soon as possible.' And so, I decided where to go next after leaving the Silver Pack. But my heart could not take it to not say goodbye to Blake. At least, before I leave, I have to see him for the last time, and create a special memory I could always remember him by. Morning came and I started to think about how to say my farewell to Blake. “Luna… I can’t believe that you are still abl
Blake’s POV“Blake… I love you…” In front of me, Chloe’s tender affectionate eyes looked at me so intently. Her voice is like honey, the sweetest of all and her scent intoxicated me as she wrapped her arms around my shoulder. “Chloe…” I mumbled as I was stepping closer to her, my body feeling her warm breath which made me shudder. “I love you too…” I bent down with the intention of capturing her lips so that I could satiate my parched throat. Her lips are like an oasis in the desert and an addicting wine. It quenches my thirst but makes me want more at the same time. My desire deepened as I snaked my hands around her hips, moving slowly to feel every inch of her. My Chloe… my mate.“Chloe…” I called out, wanting to do more. I looked at her begging and she answered with a shy smile. But a wave of pain suddenly attacked me, jolting my body awake. Alas! All was but a dream, but I looked around and saw that I was lying on her bed. Her scent still lingered, making my heart feel warm
After leaving the SIlver Pack, I immediately set off for the Red Moon Pack. Ignoring my bleeding heart, I took each step away from my home towards the place where all of my nightmare took place. Despite this, I did not waver. I was resolute on my decision to return. And it was because of my father's voice. That day, he told me that he wanted to see me. Though he did not say the reason why, when he contacted me... he sounded very weak... to the point that he seemed like he was going to disappear... Ever since that day, my heart was filled with worry. After some time, I finally arrived at the Red Moon Pack. 'I never thought I would return here again...' I thought to myself as I looked at the door in front of me. It was the door of the pack house of the Red Moon Pack. Same as before, a simple look at it made me feel a myriad of emotions... like fear... and intimidation... My heartbeat immediately quickened. It was only after giving a long look at the door when I swallowed my anxiet
