Chapter 40
Hearing her answer, I could not believe. How could I have never found out that my wolf was poisoned?
“All this time… you are suffering, Aurora… and I did not even have the slightest idea…” I muttered
while trembling in sudden realization.
“I… I used to blame you for being so weak that I never got my father's attention… I was so selfish and
naive…” I uttered in great guilt, while my eyes heated up in tears.
My entire being was aching for my wolf’s suffering.
All my life, I only knew that I was the one who has been stuck in the cruelty of my family’s treatment…
“Aurora… I’m sorry…”
“I have no idea…”
“I am so sorry… you have been suffering for so long… I didn't even know!” I hugged myself creating an All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
illusion of hugging my poor wolf who had been suffering all this time.
“Chloe… do not blame yourself. It is not your fault,” Suddenly, Aurora’s comforting voice rang in my
mind, but that only added to my heartache.
“At first, I thought I could gradually get rid of the poison, but the poison seemed to be a bit unique, and I
still couldn't recover from it,” Aurora further explained.
“Since when did you start being poisoned?” I asked, still wallowing on the pain and tragedy my wolf has
suffered without me knowing about it.
Aurora replied after a long pause, “I don’t remember… Although I woke up when you were four or five
years old, after that time, I felt weaker and weaker. Only then did I realize that I had been poisoned.”
“Since then, I have never had the strength to wake up, let alone the chance to talk to you,” Aurora
explained everything.
Hearing this, my shock intensified as I imagined how helpless she would have been at that time.
“Aurora, do you know who poisoned you?” I asked.
“I do not remember…”
“It could have possibly been my family… right?” My heart skipped a beat.
Four to five years old, that time was still too young for me and Vanessa. So it would be impossible for
her to do such.
“That leaves Lisa… and my father… But if they were really the ones who did this, what is the reason for
it?”
No matter how hard I tried to think, I didn't understand why my family would do this.
“We would never know…” Aurora replied to me, letting me understand that it was no use to think about
the unknown at the moment.
Then I asked my wolf, “Then why are you suddenly awakened when I came to the Silver pack for the
first time? Is it because the poison miraculously disappeared?”
“Sadly, Chloe, I have no idea why I was suddenly awakened…” Aurora replied.
“But since that time, I have had uncontrollable appearances, especially when your father was attacked
that night…” She added.
Only then did I understand what happened to her body at that time. The sudden outburst of speed in
rushing to father’s side has been an unintentional state for Aurora all this time!
Still full of questions, I took a deep breath and tried to ask my wolf, “Is it possible for you to show up so
I can see what you look like, Aurora?”
However, Aurora apologized, “Sorry Chloe… since then, I have not been able to manifest yet.”
Those words were clearly simple and straightforward, but my heart was torn into pieces as I could feel
every bit of desire on Aurora’s end. All this time, she too wanted to be with me, and accompany me in
hard times.
But because of the poison, she was not even able to communicate with me consistently.
In the end, I decided in my heart that I will do my best to help my wolf.
“Aurora… I promise that I will do my best to detoxify you…After all, I am best at detoxification…”
“So just try your best to conserve your energy, and become well… I am one with you, so I will never let
you die!” I solemnly promised from the bottom of my heart.
Just like that, Aurora rested, and I was left thinking of what possible poison could have affected my
wolf.
Unfortunately because I couldn't see Aurora, so I didn't know what the poison was in her.
Since that was so… then this would be a big hindrance for the detoxification.
This problem has bothered me for days. I tried to remember every poison and detoxification in my
mind, but none of them seemed to match with my current predicament.
I tried to take the universal antidote I developed, but it still didn't work.
I even thought of drinking my own blood again, but I already promised Blake that I would no longer let
my blood be drawn so easily.
But this seemed to be the only solution after trying all the methods to succeed.
And so I decided to talk to Blake about it.
Getting to his room, I knocked on Blake's door, then poked my furry head in.
“Chloe…” Blake greeted me with a warm smile.
I in turn also responded with a smile before saying, “ Blake, I have something to talk about…”
“Come in…” The smile never left Blake as he told me to come in.
Entering the room, I faltered and hesitated for a while.
But in the end I told him,
“Blake… last time….I actually heard the conversation between you and Arthur.”
“I am really sorry for eavesdropping! I really didn't mean it!”
At first, Blake looked a little puzzled. He didn't know what I was talking about or rather, he did not seem
to remember.
Knowing that, I helped him remember by saying, “I knew about the poisoning of my wolf, Blake…”
Hearing my words, Blake was a little shocked. But he recovered right away and explained, “Chloe… I
didn't tell you immediately because I still had some things to confirm about it.”
“I know…” I answered, I looked at him with an understanding gaze. Even with the short time I have
interacted with Blake, I knew that he was not someone who would say things without certainty,
especially on matters like this.
“In fact, after hearing your conversation, I immediately asked Aurora about it. Only then did I finally
confirm that it was all true…” I continued.
“However, even as I and Aurora talked, we still didn't know what poison she had, so I didn't know how
to detoxify her…”
“But Aurora is too important to me… So Blake I hope that we could help her… my wolf.” I looked at
Blake with pleading eyes, wanting to hear his opinion.
Blake stayed silent, leaving me puzzled by his reaction.
I asked him, “Perhaps, are you unwilling to help us?”
Blake replied, “No… it is not that I am unwilling to help… but rather… Chloe… I could not help.”
This time, I was able to see the trace of deep helplessness and trouble in his expression.
However, all this has only left me puzzled and confused, “Why?”
At my question, I saw Blake’s body halt in bafflement, as if he does not know how to answer my
question.
But at this moment Arthur came in and barged at the room looking at me with a complicated gaze as he
replied,
“That is because .. this poison can only allow one of you to remain alive!”
