Chapter 44
Chapter 44
"I think there is another way... that is to kill Chloe's wolf completely..." I was still in daze as I heard
someone say. Though their voice were soft, the meaning behind their words made me panic.
'Kill Aurora...? No....!' I tried to open my eyes and saw Blake and Arthur looking at me with worries
eyes. Seeing that I woke up and struggling, Blake immediately helped me to sit up.
I sat on the bed and leaned my head on Blake's shoulder. My body was feeling so weak and
uncomfortable. But at that moment, my mind was only filled with one thought. "Is Aurora okay?" I asked
them with a worried tone.
Blake gave me a deep look before nodding his head. "She's okay," he said, immediately making me
feel relieved. However, that feeling was short lived as I saw Blake and Arthur looking at each other, as
if they were hiding something from me.
An ominous feeling appeared in my heart. I wanted to ask them what was going on. But before I could
open my mouth to speak, Arthur made excuses before leaving the room.
Soon, Blake and I were alone in the room.
Blake looked at me, complicated emotions appeared in his eyes. Biting my lower lip, I asked him, "Is
Aurora really okay?"
Blake saw through my distress and put an arm around my shoulder. "She's really safe."
"You are probably have been so tired recently and it affected Aurora. It might be the reason why you
feel unwell," Blake continued to explain.
As I listened to Blake's explanation, I realized a problem. Usually, when two mates were together, both
of them would be stronger. But for me, it seemed to be the opposite. Blake was already the lycan king,
the strongest among the werewolves. My presence was useless to him, I could obviously not make him
stronger.
Thinking about that, I suddenly felt down. I bowed my head and whispered, "I'm sorry Blake..."
"My wolf has been posioned.... so I can't make your wolf stronger..."
"Not only that... I can even weaken your ability..." I added before lowering my head even more. "I don't
deserve to your Luna..."
Suddenly, Blake pulled me and hugged me tight. Being inside his arms, I started to feel warm.
"No Chloe," Blake told me with a serious tone. "Don't think like that. Not now... Not in the future..."
"You are indeed my luna. But I never needed you to use your ability for me."
"You are my luna because you are my mate... and I love you..." Blake suddenly said, making my eyes
widened and my cheeks flushed.
"Don't worry. I will make sure to find a way to heal Aurora," he promised me. Though his words were
soft, I could feel their sincerity. I closed my trembling eyes, my tears quietly falling on my cheeks.
"T-thank you, Blake..." I sobbed "I promise I will work hard. I will be stronger... not only for myself. I will
be stronger for you, so that I could help you as much as possible..." I promised him.
Seeing me cry, Blake rubbed my back to comfort me. He nodded at me before saying, "Alright."
After a few seconds, I was finally feeling more calm. Blake, who started combing my hair with his
fingers, suddenly told me, "Actually, I have a plan for you."
Hearing his words, I frowned before giving Blake a puzzled look.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
After a few days, I finally understood what Blake was talking about. It turned out, he wanted me to build
my physical strength. Right after I recovered, Blake assigned his betas to help me train.
After some deliberation, Blake and the other betas decided to build my speed first.
The first day, I was not able to finish the course. On the second day, I almost finished it before
collapsing on the ground. It was already the third day.
I panted heavily as I looked at the field in front of me. It was empty, except for one beta who was
cheering me on.
"You can do it, Luna! Just one more lap!" He shouted from a distance.
'One more lap... one more lap...' I thought as I struggled to continue running despite my burning legs
and trembling knees.
"You're doing great! Much better than yesterday! Just one more lap and you'll finally finish the course!"
The beta continued to cheer me on. Although he was cheering me, I could not help but frown at him.
The beta saw my displeasure and stopped cheering me.
A couple of minutes later, I collapsed on the ground. I finished my course, but I was panting so hard
and my heart felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.
"Chloe!!" Someone cheerfully called my name. Turning my head to the side, I saw Carrie who was
running happily towards me. However, it was not her big smile that caught my attention the most.
Rather, it was the boxes that she was carrying in her hands.
"Hi…Carrie…" I panted while staring hard at boxes. "What… are… those?" I asked her.
"Oh? It's for the party tonight!" Carrie excitedly said. "Are you finished training? If so, let's go!" She
urged me.
Hearing her words, I suddenly cheered up. Actually, I had been looking forward to attend the women's
party again. However, as I was about to say yes, I felt a hard stare on my back.
"Carrie, sorry. The luna isn't done with her training yet. She needs to run another lap…" The beta
sheepishly said.
"Ah? Is that s-" Carrie started to say until she met my sad and pleading eyes. "Erm… aren't you being
too hard on her?" Carrie rubbed her nose.
"No… not at all!" The beta hurriedly said. "We are being really kind to the Luna!" He added as if he was
wronged.
A sad smile formed on my lips. I looked at Carrie and with a pitiful voice, I told her, "It's okay. I'll pass on
this party first because I need to train. I'll join you next time." After saying that, I stood up and started
walking to the beta. As I go, I heard someone behind me saying, "She's so hardworking. Chloe really
deserves to be our luna."
Hearing her words cheered me up. I tightened my fists and with a determined look in my eyes, I
thought, "That's right. I have to cheer up. After all, I am Blake's luna."
I started training again filled with determination and a great fighting spirit. Unfortunately, as a result, the
betas who trained me became serious and no longer care that I was their luna. They trained me to the
point that I did not even have the strength to speak.
For the tenth time that day, I collapsed on the ground.
"Two more sets, Luna! Please continue working hard!" The beta approached me and said.
"Ha… but… this training is so… hard…" I panted heavily, my entire body felt like burning.
"No way, Luna. Our training methods are already very easy. Actually you are lucky. Luna, if you were
assigned to Astor, that Demon Trainer, your training will be ten times more difficult!" He told me.
My eyes widened. I was a little shocked. 'The pack has a stricter trainer?' I thought, feeling a little
scared before shaking my head desperately.
'No way… I'm fine now… my current training is already very good. I definitely don't need another
trainer.'
In the night, after a tiring day of training, Blake gave me a massage to relieve fatigue.
"Blake…" I said using with my weak tone. "Blake…" I whined before pouting.
Blake, who was massaging my feet, smiled at me. "Yes, Chloe?" He gently asked.
"I'm having a hard time… my body hurts so much and my feet are always sore…" I continued my
whine. "The training method is now very tough… maybe… it would be nice for me to be treated as a
rookie?" I pouted.
Although I said so, I did not really think that way. I was only joking with Blake, trying to see how he will
react.
Blake looked at me and frowned. "How can that be? I just want you to have the ability to protect
yourself…"
"If one day I am not by your side, you should be able to defend yourself…" Blake softly said as he
continued massaging my feet.
Satisfied with his reaction, I sat up and told him coquettishly, "Then just stay with me all the time."
Blake's eyes twinkled in delight. He liked what I said, but still shook his head in disagreement. "Then,
what about you change your trainer?"
My eyes widened in excitement. Could it be that Blake will assign a kind trainer to me?
'Even though he is a doctor, his ability is strong. I think he can be a good candidate for being a trainer,' I
thought in delight.
"Well…" I started to say. "Arthur will be a good trainer…" I intentionally told Blake.
Blake heard me and immediately shook his head. Then, with a wicked smile, he said, "No, not Arthur."
"I am going to introduce my teacher to you, his name is Astor.”
