Chapter 43
Blake’s POV
It was supposed to be a wonderful night for us, as I would finally healed with the antidote that Alpha
Dean gave me.
As my wolf howled with excitement, I took the antidote and drank it. Right away, I felt the results.
Bit by bit I could feel my body warmed up and became lighter. The pain that I had been suppressing
slowly disappeared. Finally being free of this struggle, I shifted, and my wolf and I ran freely in the
woods, deeply relieved of our recovery.
That power was back and my wolf was so excited. Under the full moon, he howled wantonly, the whole
pack echoes his voice.
However, a few moments later, a sudden wave of panic rose in my heart as I and my wolf felt
something was happening to our mate.
“Chloe!” I rushed back to the spot where Chloe stood. From a distance I could already see her
trembling. Her face pale and her hands clutched against her chest as she gasped for air.
I hurriedly shifted back and hugged her as she collapsed in my arms.
“Chloe, what’s wrong?” I asked worriedly. Looking at her state, Chloe was in so much pain that she
could not even utter a word.
I could not think of one reason why Chloe was suddenly in that state, except for one thing. It should
be… the poison inside her wolf!
I started to panic. At that moment, Arthur’s words kept on repeating in my mind… the poison in Chloe
could only allow one of them to live… it would kill either Chloe or her wolf!
“Today is exactly the night of the full moon… Could it be…” I mumbled to myself and suddenly had a
suspicion.
As werewolves, our wolf would be most active during the full moon. If Aurora woke up forcefully,
Chloe's life would be in danger.
A moment, a great wave of panic and dread overwhelmed my senses. I hurriedly carried Chloe back to
the pack, and rushed directly to Arthur's office.
“Blake? What happened?” Suddenly barging at his office Arthur was obviously frightened. But his
expression changed the moment he saw Chloe in my arms.
He realized that Chloe was almost unconscious, and so Arthur quickly asked me to put her on the bed.
While he was checking her condition, he glanced at me and asked me to tell what happened.
I could only tell him slowly the things that had transpired.
“When I took the antidote, I shifted and ran into the forest for the wolf. But when I came back, Chloe
was holding her chest in pain…”
“There seems to be something wrong with her wolf…. I'm worried…” At this point I could no longer
continue.
Arthur looked at me with an expression that he knew the next words that I was not able to say. He
looked at me with a serious expression and said, “I know… but for now we can just check her condition
first.”
My heart ached in pain as I saw Chloe’s pained expression while she was lying, looking so pale in the
bed. Chloe's forehead was sweating and her brows were furrowed. It was obvious that she was
suffering.
At the moment, I felt so powerless and helpless. Clearly, I could not do anything now.
Clenching my fist, a wave of realization hit me as I finally understood what Alpha Dean said at the
time…
That Chloe was the safest if her wolf does not wake up.
But as I thought of this matter even deeper, I could not help but frown.
“Then this also meant that Alpha Dean knew that Chloe was poisoned a long time ago…”
“Could he be the one who poisoned Chloe?” Feeling the complicated emotions in my heart towards my
mate and Alpha Dean, I lost in thought.
Two hours had passed…
I rubbed the space between my brows to relieve the tiredness.
Watching with the feeling of not being able to do anything for Chloe wore me out physically and
mentally.
Arthur finally ended the treatment of Chloe, but she still remained unconscious.
“How is she doing Arthur?” I asked.
“She is no longer in danger… She should wake up after some time.” Arthur wiped the beads of sweat
on his forehead and sighed in relief as he answered my query.
The next moment, the room was filled with a heavy silence as he looked at Chloe who's previously pale Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
face slowly recovered.
“Blake, we should think of the matter more deeply…maybe from the time Chloe appeared, let’s see if
we can get any clues.”
“As far as we know, the poison involved was something that would only allow either the wolf or the
human to remain alive. But Chloe has been poisoned for a long time. After all this time… why would the
poison only take effect in Chloe’s body now…?” Arthur finally broke the silence and spoke.
“I have a suspicion…” I frowned and looked at him in all seriousness.
Arthur looked at me and waited for my next words.
“Today is the full moon… Due to us taking the antidote, my wolf and I shifted… I was thinking that it
was probably because of my shifting… the appearance of my wolf greatly agitated Chloe’s wolf…” I
started to explain.
“Since we are mates, it is only natural for our wolves to also become excited with each other as well…
Maybe… probably because of that… Aurora tried to forcefully appear, but since she and Chloe had yet
to shift together, her ability is limited and uncontrolled.”
While listening to my thoughts it was Arthur who concluded, “In the end, it made the poison in Chloe’s
body flare up… Fortunately, Chloe's wolf has been suppressed.”
“That’s what I thought.” I truthfully answered.
“Then this is a serious problem…” Arthur frowned as he continued.
I raised my head and looked at him, waiting for him to say his next thoughts.
“Usually, the appearance of a mate will make each of the party stronger by leaps and bounds. But in
you and Chloe’s case it was a totally different matter.”
“Because of the poison in Chloe… Blake, you have a tendency to hurt Chloe instead of doing the
opposite. In other words, when you transform in the future, you better not let Chloe be nearby.
“Once it senses you and your wolf, her wolf will wake up forcibly...”
“Given Chloe's current physical condition, she may not be able to bear it, Blake.” Arthur explained with
a grave expression in his face.
Hearing these words I felt the urge to blame myself.
If Arthur’s words are true… then that explained that when Chloe came to the Silver pack for the first
time, her wolf appeared.
Because at that time, it was also a full moon.
Only because I was poisoned, her wolf was not that strong that the poison did not flare up at that time.
‘It was me who caused Chloe to suffer…’ My heart fell into sadness as I realized these things.
I was supposed to be her source of protection and security, but I have caused her to suffer even more.
Just this thought made me feel terrible, as if there was someone digging my heart out.
I lowered my head and clenched my fist. Arthur and I have been thinking of how to address the matter
of Chloe’s poison but it is known that this poison does not even have an antidote.
“It is not an option to suppress Chloe's wolf forcibly now…I might need to go to the Red Moon pack
again.” I uttered in determination.
Arthur remained silent, and a flash of complicated light appeared on his face.
He looked at me before he opened his mouth and said his thoughts with great hesitation, “I think that
there is another way… that is to kill Chloe's wolf completely.”
