Chapter 59

"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 send

me shivers.

“Must you be like this Blake?!" Lyra's entire body trembled as she shot back at the angry Blake.

I struggled to try to pacify the rising anger of the two but in the end, Lyra walked out and smashed

the door.

Leaving only the two of us in the room, I looked at Blake who was incessantly rubbing his forehead

in frustration while trying to calm down,

We stayed silent for a while, then only when I saw his emotions calmed down did I ask worriedly.

"Blake, please tell me what is going on?”

“What does Lyra mean when she says those words?”

Blake looked at me kindly and sighed, “There is nothing wrong. Everything is fine... as for Lyra's

words, it's just her belief in something.”

"You must have been tired of your training with Teacher Astor. Let's get you back to your room.”

Then he placed his hands gently over my shoulders and led me to the bedroom.

Even so, I still felt uneasy. I could not help but look at him from time to time to study his emotions.

“Is Blake hiding something from me?"

“There must be a reason why he suddenly exploded, just like that..."

'Why won't he tell me?’

I was lost in my thoughts as I allowed Blake to lead me back to the room. Even when I sat down, I

did not realize that I was still in a daze until I felt a ticklish sensation on my head.

"Hey... don't think too much about what happened earlier... Aurora's poison will definitely be cured.”

Blake flicked my forehead then his arms wrapped around me, giving me comfort from his warmth.

Still, Lyra's words haunted me.

“Could it be that something is wrong about the detoxification method that Blake tells about?’

This thought made me uneasy, especially since the night of the full moon is coming.

Until when I slept, this was the thing that repeatedly disturbed my thoughts.

The next morning, I saw Lyra once again. Out of habit, I greeted her with a nod and avoided.

But unexpectedly, Lyra stopped me from my tracks. Surprised, I stared at her wide-eyed before

asking, “Is there anything?”

Lyra looked at me straight in the eye, her face as neutrally cold as ever.

She thought for a while and finally answered, “I have something to talk to you about, can we have

some time to chat?”

Though uncomfortable, I nodded as I was also curious about the talk she and Blake had last time,

and the words she left for me to hear.

The next moment, we were at a quiet place and she started the conversation right away.

“Look, I have no hostility towards you, Chloe...Though me and Blake have fought side by side for

many years, I only hope that everything will be fine for the Silver pack...”

I looked at her quietly and listened while she said her next words calmly, “I admit that I have liked

and still like Blake..."

“But I am not someone who would be calculating to put myself between the two of you. I know that

Blake protected and cherished you.

"And so the last thought on my mind was to hurt you, whom he protects...”

Although I had to admit that what Lyra said was correct, her last sentence still did not sit well on me.

The grievance in my heart started to come out of me as I fiddled with my nails and said weakly, “I-I

can do it... I can already protect myself...”

But Lyra did not seem to be convinced by my words and looked at me calmly. There were no ripples

of emotion in her eyes, not a trace of gloating nor disdain.

It was only as if she was saying something that is an absolute fact and true.

“But you are wolfless...”

Her words were like a shot of arrow that went straight to my heart. I felt like I was suddenly being

poured out by cold water as I was hit but the sharpness of her words, which she did not think was

anything wrong

I know very well that I am wolfless, if any, I would be the first person that the pack should protect

because of my condition. But I could not help but want to prove myself.

Am I not working hard to meet everyone's expectations?

Am I not stretching my limits just for the day that I could stand proudly and fitting to be Blake's

Luna? The Silver Pack’s Luna?

I tried not to tremble and stayed composed. Looking at Lyra’s expression, I know that she was

saying this not because she had a bad intention but merely because it was her honest opinion.

"When the full moon comes, I will be detoxified. By then I will have my wolf, just like all of you. I will

also continue to train and meet everyone's expectations... so that one day, Blake would no longer

need to protect me...”

“Instead, we will both protect the Silver Pack together!” I said with determination oozing out of my

heart.

Even so, I was met by Lyra's unchanging facial expression as she replied,

"What if the way you get your wolf... the only way for you to detoxify the poison was to sacrifice

Blake in the process?”

“Tell me Chloe, what will you do?”

She looked at me straight in the eyes, trying to read every part of my expressions carefully as she

waited for me to answer her question which had truly left me off-guard.
