Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 61

“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, I knew that he was finally convinced and that he no longer pushed for

his own worries. Instead he diverted his attention towards assuring me about Aurora’s detoxification.

“En… Alright.” I answered, lowering my head to hid the worry and conflicting expression on my face.

We stayed like that for a while then Blake managed to convince me to take our dinner. While we are on

the dinning hall, we happened to meet Lyra during the meal. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I froze upon seeing her ever-imposing figure but in the end I smiled and waved my hand, catching her

attention.

“Lyra… come and join us.” I called her out, which is definitely in contrast with my usual avoidance

toward her.

Lyra who was holding a tray of her food she froze in surprise but remained calm. Blake also looked at

me in surprise, clearly confused about my sudden attitude.

But I remained with a smile and asked, “Since Lyra had come back to the pack, I have not yet shared a

meal with her. So why not take this opportunity, right?”

Blake seemed to have realized it as well and so he nodded and invited Lyra as well.

The next moment, three of us were at the dinner table, sharing a meal in the midst of the dining hall.

As I ate, I looked at Lyra and Blake’s figures and smiled. Though bitterly sweet in my heart, but seeing

their compatible countenance somehow made me feel at ease.

When I asked Blake earlier, I know that he would keep the truth from me until everything was over.

It breaks my heart to know that he would be willing to sacrifice in silence just for me to become at ease

and alright.

At that thought, I felt aggrieved for my mate. Since we met, he was always the one who was giving and

sacrificing something.

And even if I insist, just like the time I drew out my blood for him, he immedately refused because he

knew that the process would hurt me.

But did he not know, that what he was doing right now was exactly what I did back then?

Did he know that now that I am in a position to choice to hurt him or not over my own condition, I would

reject it just as he rejected my blood back then?

Did it ever come to his mind, that just as I was important to him, he was just as important to me as

well?

And so, my heart came up with a solution… that is to finally act on my own and see to it that Blake

would not end up hurting or sacrificing himself in order to heal me.

Just as he made the choice back then…

I am making the same choice as well…

And so, my first move was to let Lyra stay beside him so that he would not be alone while I was gone.

“I have heard a lot about you, Lyra. Even in the training hall, every beta around praised your prowess in

the battle.”

"Everyone is in awe of you," my eyes flashed before it turned gentle. "You have the strength and the

courage to fight for the pack," I softly added. Although my voice was calm, secretly, I was dying inside.

For years, I have lost all hope of being strong… Of having the power not only to protect others, but also

myself. All those years, I already gave up and accepted my fate.

But when I moved into the Silver pack, somehow, that hope reignited. I started training hard, not

considering the body and mental pain that I was experiencing. I started to have hope that soon, I would

be allowed to grasp on that power… So that I could be the proper Luna of the pack and stand next to

Blake.

However, fate was just cruel to me.

When I managed to gather hope… it ended up crushed down. Upon that thought, my heart started

hurting hard. I straightened my back and hiding the pain, I forced myself to smile.

“Sigh… I wonder when I will be able to put up a good fight. But alas, it seems like I am really not that

good in fighting!” I looked at Lyra and started to praise her, but lamenting over my abilities at the same

time.

“Blake and the Silver Pack is really fortunate to have you around. Everyone will feel at ease because

you are here, being one of the strongest pillars of the pack!” I smiled and continued.

“As for me, even if I try my best, I am still far from being a reliable force for the pack.”

Lyra stared at me for a long time, seemingly reading what was on my mind. I looked back at her with a

smile, that meant something I know that she would get.

Her dark orbs flashed in a moment of realization, her brows slightly creasing. That was the moment I

knew that she got what I meant and that she knew that was on my mind at the moment.

The frown on her face, my unfading smile and the silence in the dinner table became more apparent.

This made Blake looke at Lyra and I back and forth, seemingly thinking about something.

The dinner table which was supposedly relaxed and harmonious became heavy and awkward,

especially when Blake was thinking something different as compared to what Lyra and I was

communicating at the moment.

“Chloe, don’t think that you are useless. You have been working hard and everyone in the pack sees

how you have been training everyday. For me you are irreplaceable, you are only one befitting to be

the Luna of the Silver Pack.” Blake could no longer take it and told me straight in the eyes.

The worry lines on his forehead prompted me to realize that he thought that I was being jealous over

Lyra’s achievement.

Taken aback, genuinely, I let out a surprised chuckle before smiling at him and answered, “I know…”
