Chapter 58
"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 laugh and replied, "Ah...? I
see, that's great...! Ha... I have to finish what Teacher Astor told me to do. I'll talk to you later... okay?" I
added, my voice sounding so insincere.
Maybe, I was just feeling childish. But hearing those words from Blake made me very uncomfortable.
Without waiting for Blake's reply, I turned my body away and tried to stand up.
Blake grabbed my wrists before I could walk away.
"It's true that back then, we were also... more than friends. But I no longer feel any love for her. Chloe, I
only regard Lyra as a close friend," he told me.
I paused for a few seconds before letting out a sigh. Thinking it through, I sat once again.
I believed Blake and trust in every word he said. But I could not help but feel sad.
Still, I could not ignore Blake who was directly explaining everything to me.
“Okay…” I softly replied. “Then… if it’s okay with you, will you tell me more about your past? The past
you had with her?” I asked him.
Blake saw that I was finally ready to listen to him. A gentle smile appeared on his lips before he took
my hand and started to caress it.
“Alright,” he gently told me. Then, he started to tell me about their story.
“I met Lyra when we were still young. She was a young orphan, her parents died when she was only
five years old.”
“I first saw her in the battlefield,” Blake added as something flickered on his eyes as he remembered
their past.
“A group of rogues attacked. Back then, I was also still young. Our sentinels went out to rescue them
and they brought me along. When the fight was over, I helped them with the cleaning up. I found Lyra
in one of the burnt houses," Blake murmured in a low voice.
"Her parents died because of the rogue attacks and were filled with serious wounds... She was only
five years old, but she was able to fight against one rogue who found her and she killed it."
"I took her in. From then on, we were always together." Upon saying that, Blake brought my hand on
his lips and gave it a little peck. However... I was too distracted to notice it.
"Lyra and I grew up together. We trained together. She is a very strong werewolf. There were times
when she was able to beat me during our spars," Blake added.
I paused as my hand slightly shook. 'She was able to defeat Blake?' I looked down and looked at my
hands. Although they were riddled with new scars, they still looked so skinny... and weak.
'Ha... To think that I was already so proud when I managed to land a hit on a beta. But Lyra was even
able to defeat Blake during spar? I'm so laughable...' I bit my lower lip, as subconsciously, I started
comparing myself with Lyra.
Compared to her, I was just... so weak.
I looked back at Blake. Seeing his gentle eyes, I pressed my lips tightly. I could never tell him about my
thoughts.
Blake continued to tell me some stories about their past. How they fought together, and how they
always had each other's back. Although it was painful, I sat there and continued to listen without saying
anything.
After several minutes, Blake finally stopped and told me, "But these matters aren't important right now."
"Chloe, the matter that's most important right now is the detoxification of your wolf."
In the next few days, I tried my best to behave normally. In addition to training every day, I also
continued to learn medical knowledge from Teacher Astor.
I have met with Lyra a few times. Whenever she saw me, Lyra would always nod at me politely.
Always, I tried to nod back and greet her back before always fleeing the scene.
Whenever I saw her, insecurity always filled my heart. I always had a feeling that compared to Lyra, I This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
was just too weak, which made me afraid to face her.
Half a month has passed, and the day to detoxify Aurora was coming soon. This time, I tried to clear
my heart of any other feelings and tried to focus only on my hope of detoxifying Aurora.
Wanting to further confirm with Blake something about the process of detoxification, I went to Blake's
office. But as I arrived at the door of the office, I heard two people quarreling inside the room.
I paused for a bit when I heard Blake and Lyr's voices that were fiercely quarreling, Then, I started to
turn around. That was, until I vaguely heard my name.
My feet froze for a bit. After thinking it through, I pushed the door in. Blake and Lyra immediately
stopped quarreling and looked into my direction.
Feeling awkward, I let out a small smile and asked them with a weak voice, "Hey... what happened to
the two of you?"
Upon hearing my question, to my surprise, Lyra sent me a hostile look.
"It's nothing," Blake started to say. "I'm sorry, Chloe. But we are discussing something. Is it okay if you
leave first?" He asked me. "I will come to you after we conclude our discussion," he added
Blake was trying to send me out. I felt a little uncomfortable inside my heart but did not say anything
and instead nodded at him. But before I could leave, I heard Lyra' sharp and cold voice,
"Don't go yet. This is something that you need to know."
'Some that I need to know?' I paused as anxiety started to fill me and I started to feel cold. 'So they
were arguing about a matter that concerns me?'
Blake furrowed his brows and said in a warning tone, "Lyra..."
However, Lyra ignored him and approached me instead. And without giving Blake a chance to stop her,
she stood in front of me and looked at me with her cold eyes.
"There is no way to cure the poison in your wolf," Lyra told me, making my heart skip a beat.
