Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 41

I stared at Arthur blankly, unsure what he meant.

“Chloe…” He started to explain. “Actually… Blake and I have been researching the possible poison of

your wolf.”

“We found out that combined with the symptoms you described to us before, it is most likely that you

have been given the poison from a Simala flower…”

“This poison was popular years ago and people used it with the primary purpose of restraining the

ability of the wolves. But because of its fatality, this poison was banned, and its production was

prohibited.” The more I listened to Arthur, the more and more my body felt cold.

“B-banned?” I stuttered, my mind was in a mess.

Arthur sighed, clearly sympathizing with me. He carefully replied, “This poison is so fatal that once it is

given to a werewolf, either the human or her wolf would die. There is yet to be an instance when both

of them survive.”

“And up until now, no one has yet to find an antidote for this poison…” He added.

Blake and Arthur watched me closely, worry was evidence in their eyes. I looked at them but was not

seeing them. My body just froze.

‘Poison from a Simala flower?’ I repeated his words in my head. ‘I have studied poison since I was

young… how could I never heard this poison before?’

‘And he said there is no antidote to this poison?’ Hands trembled slightly, his words kept ringing in my

ears.

‘No… I can’t accept this… I am unwilling to accept it!’

“This… my blood… maybe my blood can detoxify this poison…” I started to say. I swallowed anxiously.

Although I tried hard to stay calm, my voice started shaking.

Arthur sighed before shaking his head. “I’m sorry, Chloe. Your blood couldn’t be the cure. Otherwise,

your wolf would have long been cured of this poison.”

My heart sank. Suddenly, I felt like I was thrown into an endless abyss.

“B-but… this is such a cruel poison… why did it appear in the Red Moon Pack?” I asked, desperation

started to fill my heart.

“And… Why did someone poison me with this?” My eyes started to feel hot.

At that moment, I felt so exhausted… so physically and mentally exhausted…

“I don’t want to lost Aurora… The last time I talked to her… I even promised that I would cure her… But

now…” I softly mumbled as tears started falling down my eyes. My heart clenched tightly, and I could

hardly breathe.

Blake watched me with a concerned expression. Slowly, he approached me, held my hand and

squeezed it. Then, he told me with a soft, gentle, “In the future, you should not force Aurora to wake up,

because if you do, it would damage your own body.”

“But…” I started to say as helplessness filled me. Blake leaned his head and touched his forehead with

mine, effectively making me stop talking.

“It’s only temporary. Please trust me,” he talked in a voice that was almost a whisper.

“I will definitely find an antidote and cure Aurora. But before that, I need you to protect yourself first.”

“Just give me some time. Alright, Chloe?” Blake softly asked as he looked at me with eyes filled with

promise.

I opened my lips but could not say anything. In the end, I closed my eyes, and putting my fate to Blake,

I nodded, indicating to him my agreement.

For the next few days, I was not myself. I could not do anything, and only wandered around the territory

of the Silver Pack.

I tried to stay calm and forced myself to relax, believing that soon, Blake would find a way to save

Aurora.

One afternoon, I was outside in the garden, taking care of the flowers that were planted by Blake's

servant. Unlike my gloomy mood, the flowers were blooming, as if they were smiling towards the bright C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

sky.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Carrie walked out with an angry look on her face. Without

saying anything, she sat on the chair and drank water.

I watched her closely. Even though she did not say a thing, I understood the look on her face.

"Something happened between you and Arthur?" I asked as Carrie slammed the glass on the table.

"Who else could it be?" Carrie grabbed some of her hair in frustration. "I have been trying to visit him in

his office to bring snacks and drinks… but I haven't seen him even once!"

"He made it so obvious that he is deliberately avoiding me… Can't he really see that I like him?" She

said before covering her face with her hands.

I let out a sigh. I have not known Carrie for long, but she already became a close friend of mine. Seeing

her wallowing in frustration, I could not help but feel bad.

"I'm not sure if this can help you…" I started to say. "But did you perhaps chase him too closely?

Maybe Arthur is feeling too much pressure…"

Carrie went silent upon hearing my words. I could see the pain in her eyes before she closed them and

covered her face once again with her hands.

"I-I…" Carrie stammered. Compared to before, her voice sounded so weak. "Did I really go too far?"

She added before letting out a sigh.

"I followed him closely because I want to be with him… It's just… I really like him too much…" Carrie

lowered her head and pressed her forehead on the table.

"I have really liked him ever since we were little. Back then, I was so sickly… I was so weak that I pant

hard with just a few steps…" She told me softly as she reminisced about her past.

"My parents and my brother were very worried about me that they would not let me go outside. I only

stayed in my room, looking at the window where I could watch the blue sky…"

"I didn't want to hurt the feelings of my parents so I pretended how I loved to stay inside my room and

hated the outside…"

"But Arthur saw through my lies. He knew how I was yearning to go out… to feel the air on my face and

the soil on my feet. I wanted to run around while laughing with my friends. So everyday… Arthur would

visit me and give me something from the forest."

"It's usually flowers or unique looking leaves. Sometimes, he would put the soil in a jar and bring it to

me…'

"There was even a time when he sneaked a frog in my bedroom. Though he was caught and was

punished," Carrie added before laughing. Her eyes arched like a crescent moon, making her look

beautiful.

"Arthur told me that one day, he will become a great doctor and will cure my sickness…" Her smile

slowly disappeared. "He fulfilled his promise. Now, I am as healthy as I can be…"

"I can go outside... I can feel the air and the soil, and laugh while running around whenever I want to…"

"But Arthur is no longer by my side… When I go to him… all he does is to avoid me…" She said in a

very soft voice. I saw the pain flashed in her eyes and could not help but feel bad.

"Carrie… when you become an adult… what if you find out that Arthur is not your mate?"

"Or what if later on… Arthur finds his mate… and it isn't you?" Those were painful questions that had to

be asked.

Carrie visibly froze, her face turned pale. "I… also don't know…" It was only after a while when she

managed to answer.

Carrie was suffering inside, knowing fully well the fatal attraction a matebond contained. But despite

this, she just could not give up Arthur.

I saw her dilemma and stood up. I approached Carrie and patted her on the back. "Then, what about

asking Arthur what he really thought about you?" I suggested.

Upon hearing me, Carrie looked up and met my eyes that were surprisingly suspicious.
