Chapter 60
Chapter 60
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 Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
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 words were like a slap to me. The questions that she asked forced me to do a reality check as I
realized her point.
Even so, Lyra did not seem to mind that I was still processing everything and she continued,
“The way to detoxify your poison involves Blake’s sacrifice.”
“P-pardon?” I asked as I thought I misheard Lyra’s words.
“Blake needs to sacrifice himself in order for you to be able to awaken your wolf.” She repeated once
again, not batting an eyelid and just calmly explaining.
“In fact, what would happen could not even be called detoxification… Blake’s wolf would take in the
poison on your body and try to contain it.”
“He would need to sacrifice his wolf so that your wolf could live…”
“Chloe, you know how important Blake’s wolf is to him and to the Silver pack… As King, he was using
the entire Silver pack as a gamble…”
“Also, the fact that Blake went to the Red Moon pack last time had made many packs now regard the
Silver pack as their opponent.”
“If something happens to Blake at this time, the entire Silver pack will be in danger.”
“...” I was left speechless as the word I am hearing. The more I listened, the more my heart sank. Even
so, I tried to stay as composed as possible while I process everything she said.
“I am saying this to you not because I want to make you feel bad, but to give you the true picture of the
situation.” Lyra looked at me, the tone of her voice did not have any hint of blaming at all, it was just like
she was saying all of this as a bystander pointing out the things from her perspective.
As I stared at her blankly, she stood up and left quietly, leaving the words, “Chloe, you should think
about this really well.”
I on the other hand stared at her receding figure in a daze. Her words really did burst my bubble of
comfort.
There I was thinking that everything was fine as long as I did my part to train and to enhance my
abilities. That once I got my wolf wake up and my training with Teacher Astor done, everything would
be smooth sailing from that point onwards.
Now, hearing the truth, the scary truth of Blake’s sacrifice and the gravity of his decision to take action
for my poison, I could not help but shudder in disbelief.
Trying to contain my fluctuating emotions, I decided to keep myself in the bedroom all afternoon.
I wanted to heal Aurora, but I never thought that the price would be to hurt Blake.
‘Why do I have to be so incompetent?’
‘Why do I have to let Blake do so much for me…’
‘I can’t have him sacrifice himself for me…’
‘I was supposed to be his mate, I was supposed to make him stronger!’
‘But what kind of mate am I?’
‘What kind of a Luna am I? To allow Blake, the Alpha to sacrifice his wolf so that I could have my own?’
‘Just how ridiculous and selfish am I?’
This time, I kept on thinking that maybe Lyra was right…
Maybe, I wasn't the right person to be next to Blake at all, because I even failed to see this tiny detail
about the matter.
I still need to have someone say it to me outright.
While I was lost in my thoughts, Blake knocked on the door.
“Chloe…” He called out gently, going straight to my bed and asked worriedly, “The servant said you
hadn't eaten dinner… Are you feeling unwell?”
Too worried that Blake would realize something, I lowered my head and acted like I did not know about
the truth of the detoxification method which caused a quarrel between him and Lyra.
“Hmm, no… it was just that the training was especially hard today… Blake, Teacher Astor is really
merciless!” Trying to act as usual, I started to rant in front of him about how strict Teacher Astor was.
As we conversed about what happened, I observed his expression and saw that he did not suspect
something.
But still, my heart was bothered by the fact about the detoxification and so I started a conversation
about it.
“Blake, about the poison in my body… Do we really have a way to cure Aurora fully?” I asked, trying my
best to display only my curiosity about the manner.
But before my eyes, I saw Blake’s expression freeze as he faltered, “W-why are you worried? Chloe,
please trust me in this… In the next full moon, everything will be fine, and just like the rest of us here,
your wolf will awaken too.”
“Really… that’s good to hear.” I let out the best smile I could pull at the moment and finally hid my face
onto his chest to hide my breaking expression.
My heart was sinking as I have already confirmed that what Lyra said is really true and Blake was fully
aware of it.
What breaks my heart even more was that Blake did not even show any hesitation to do the sacrifice
and even went as far as to get angry at Lyra, whom he deeply trusted once she attempted to reveal the
truth.
“The day after tomorrow will be the night of the full moon…” I muttered.
“Yes… Once it arrives you will have Aurora all healed.” Blake raised his hands and covered my body
with his embrace. As he said these words, I could feel his lips kissing the top of my head tenderly.
“Blake… could we just do it on the next full moon?” I asked, still not daring to meet his eyes and just
continued acting tired and weary.
“Why so? Is there any problem?” Blake asked, clearly confused.
“I want to help Aurora detoxify next time on the night of the full moon… Because I was too tired and
uncomfortable recently… Anyway, next month is not bad.” I answered.
Blake’s body froze, even though his tone was still gentle, there was a hint of anxiousness in it when he
asked me “Is it because of what Lyra said? Did you hear something ridiculous from her?”
