Fated For Lycan's Luna -
Chapter 192
Blake
As soon as I uttered those words, Chloe's body froze momentarily in surprise. The next moment shegave a light hearted chuckle and sunk into my embrace.
Her response was fully welcomed by every bit of my being. Like we are each other's fountain of life,we stayed like that for a little while.
I looked down and took a good look at my mate's face once more. Caressing the side of her face,my heart felt the piercing pain of seeing how exhausted she was as she pushed herself indeciphering the poison.
“I heard from your student and Arthur that you have not gone out since taking the poison from mysickbed? Why do you torture your body this much?” I uttered in helpless pain.
But when I was expecting for her to give me a rather serious explanation, I was blown away when Isaw my mate pout adorably as she replied back, “What goes the same to you, aint it?"
My heart felt like it was going to drop. For I am not prepared to be attacked in such a way. Her eyeslooked at me as she continued to sulk while I looked away, like I was back in my youthful daysencountering my first romance.
“Then we were both wrong...” In the end, I surrendered in a sigh and we laughed our own mistakesout.
It's been years since we two had laughed together like this. While I know that this meeting won't belong, 1 still could not help but long for the day that we could finally face our future and our painwith smiles on our faces.
"What do you plan to do now? Going back to the territory may still be dangerous for you..." After awhile Chloe asked.
“I'll be joining the attack team in a while. But I came here to check on you before I go. Don'tpressure yourself... Everyone knows that this is such a hard task... especially the people in yourpack... they know what that poison did to you and the Blood Moon Pack...” I uttered.
“All the more that I have to give my all now, Blake...” The light in Chloe's eyes glimmered inunwavering and fierce determination, her hands were clenched in a fist as I knew that she wasreliving the pain of losing her father to the very same poison she was dealing with now.
The next moment, her entire body shuddered and her eyes reddened, while her voice cracked as sheuttered,
“Blake... Did you know... That I came to a point when I cursed my young ignorant self?”
“If 1 had not made that poison just to make my father impressed, would Uncle Gauss use that to killhim?”
“Would I have those countless nights and hours trying to save my father from the sting of my ownignorant hands?”
"Would I beat myself up every night trying to replace a way to defeat this poison by my hands and endit once and for all?"
"Sometimes, I asked the Moon Goddess... why did she allow me to do such a thing in my childhooddays... Now that foolish thing I did haunted me for the rest of my life.”
As I saw my mate, the other half of my soul breakdown in her suffering, I opened my mouth to saysomething to comfort her. But in the end, I could not replace the words that could take away the painshe was feeling at the moment.
How I wish I could take those emotions oppressing her day and night. How I wish that I could easilyheal the scars left behind in the depths of her heart in just a single swipe.
All I could do was to cover her trembling body in my arms and sooth her back as I continued to lether cry in pain while I closed my eyes and stayed with her.
After a while, there was silence, and her slow steady breathing could be heard in the room. It mayprobably be due to physical and emotional exhaustion, but it seemed like her outburst had led herto a deep sleep. I mind linked Arthur to inform him, as I carried Chloe's sleeping figure to hersleeping quarters.
In the hallway I saw Esha making her way to Chloe's laboratory.
She stood in shock when she saw me carrying her teacher in such a way. But it may be because ofmy mask showing not a single clue of my affections that she covered her mouth and nodded thatshe understood.
Without a word, being afraid that Chloe would wake up after not sleeping for a few days straight,she gestured for me to follow her to Chloe's quarters.
We walked silently, avoiding the crowd that could disturb Chloe's sleep. Esha heaved a sigh of reliefonly when we successfully tucked her Teacher to her bed and had a good rest.
“A-alpha Sabre... Thank you for bringing Teacher all the way here... It's thanks to you that I couldfinally be relieved to see her resting.” Esha said gratefully when we left the room.
“No big deal. As the Alpha of your pack and the partner I rely on with this alliance. If she collapses,then our movement will collapse as well...” I answered.
"Just stay here and check her from time to time... If she asks for me, tell her that I have alreadyjoined the other team as we have discussed midway." I left her these words as I headed out.
“Thank you, Alpha Sabre!” Esha said once more as she bade me goodbye.
As for me, I headed straight to the barracks and looked for Idris and Caleb who were leading theattack troops.
When I arrived in the area, the two were already rallying the rest of the alliance members to give abriefer for their next attack
"Greetings, Alpha Sabre!” When the two noticed my presence, they were surprised but still ledeveryone to acknowledge me.
"Good work everyone!” I said as I headed in their midst and straightforwardly announced my reasonfor going there. “Today, I'll be joining your team in attacking the target you have for today!”
