Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Astor really lived up to his reputation.
I was too frightened to look up. As if doing it on purpose, Arthur who was originally in front of me,
suddenly stood aside, leaving me exposed. I no longer had a choice and could only meet Astor face to
face.
I raised my head and looked at his serious face. His eyes looked stern, with no trace of gentleness in it.
Though my mind very much wanted to run and hide at the moment, I let out a stiff smile to try and
make a good impression of him. After all, he would be my trainer.
But soon, I saw Astor’s eyes became sharper, as if it could pierce me to death, making me scared
witless. Too shocked by his actions, I wiped out the silly smile on my face and lowered my head.
When he stayed silent and nodded, I immediately felt like I had received a huge pardon.
Contrary to his stern and unwavering gaze earlier, he looked at Blake and stood aside, allowing Blake
to lead the conversation.
“Chloe… I would like to introduce to you, my Teacher Astor.” Blake gave a faint smile as he looked
toward me then to Astor. His eyes had a light of respect towards the other party, it seems like he really
looked up to Astor as his teacher.
As Blake introduced Astor, he kept a serious face, as if he didn't care about Blake's introduction at all.
Instead, he turned and looked at me with an unchanging expression and said, “The training will start
tomorrow.”
“Uhmm, come again?” I blinked twice and asked, I seemed to have misheard Astor’s words at the
moment.
Astor seemed to have no intention to repeat his words, and so it was Blake who answered,
“Chloe, Train with Teacher Astor well… because during the next few days, I had to leave the pack for a
while.”
Even more dumbfounded, my body turned stiffly and asked in disbelief, “Huh?”
Before I could react and realized what happened Blake already moved and said,
“I still have some things to communicate with Astor. Chloe, you should rest and prepare for the training
tomorrow.”
“You must train with Teacher Astor well and stay strong while I am not around.” With that he and Astor
moved and left the room.
I stared at the closing door wanting to cry on the spot. I turned to look at Carrie and Arthur, but both of
them shook their heads to express their helplessness.
My heart sank at the sight of them looking at me with sympathy, it seemed like there was really no way
out. I must face this grueling fate of training under the demon instructor, Astor.
Suddenly remembering something, I looked up once again and asked,
“Carrie, do you know where Blake is going this time? Did something bad happen in the pack?”
Carrie shook her head, “I have no idea about his trip at the moment.
“Is that so… I see… well at least, two of you are still here. I would not feel alone while I struggle in
training…” I sighed and comforted myself, it is really a relief that Carrie and Arthur were still with me.
“Eherm… that is not the case Chloe…” Arthur cleared his throat and immediately woke me up from my
thoughts.
He looked at me proudly, as if he had received a good fortune and continued, “I won’t be here to
accompany you in your agony as well. That is because I will be going out with Blake on errands too!”
It was obvious with the smile on his face that he was indeed lucky to have escaped a terrible calamity
this time -this father Astor!
My face changed when I heard this, I stared at Arthur with an aggrieved expression.
“You traitor! How could you leave me at such a critical time!” My frustration and anger surged as I
grabbed a nearby book and chased Arthur who still had a gloating look on his face.
That night, I could not sleep.
Tossing and turning on the bed, I frustratingly sat up and frowned. Feeling helpless and worried, I stood
up and went out of my bedroom.
My foot brought me to Blake's door, without hesitation, I knocked on it.
I must do something in order to escape the tragic fate of being subject to Astor's devilish training!
Almost immediately, I saw Blake who was wearing his lounge clothes. A thin pure white shirt covered
his body and the v-neck subtly teased my eyes of his toned abs. I blink, feeling my throat a little bit dry.
Blake looked at me as if he naturally knew the reason for my visit.
Afraid that my thoughts would be too obvious, I tried to be mysterious and asked first, “Blake what are
you going to do outside? Is there something wrong with our pack?”
Blake raised his brows and looked at me, surprised that I asked about the pack at the moment.
Inwardly, I understood why he reacted like this, because I have not asked him about the pack even as
his Luna ever since the beginning.
In the end his gaze was still gentle as he answered, “The Silver Pack had an ally. It is just that they
sent a message to me for help. Thus, I needed to deal with some things regarding the matter.”
“Is it like what happened on the pack back then?” I asked, but my heart was already glimmering with
hope.
There was a subtle light on Blake’s face, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded.
“Then… Blake, can I go with you then?” Seeing the opportunity to escape, I asked straightforwardly.
Afraid that he would immediately reject it, I continued, “Look, I have to do a deep research on countless
amounts of poison… So maybe I can help.”
Blake lowered his head and smiled.
Then he looked at me as if he had seen through my thoughts, “Chloe, are you afraid of Astor’s
training?”
“N-no?!” I vehemently shook my head and denied.
Blake patted me on the back as he said, “Astor is not as strict as the rumors said so you do not have to
be scared.”
“Besides, I had already made an agreement with Astor that he would take extra care of you.” Blake
continued.
Still feeling suspicious, I looked up and met Blake’s eyes “Really?”
“Of course.” He stepped forward and answered me gently. His scent lingered on the tips of my nose,
giving me a warm and comfortable feeling.
“I hope that when I come back, My Chloe will improve rapidly…” He said with a gentle expression.
“When will you be back then?” I asked.
“About two weeks, perhaps.” He answered.
“Two weeks…” My heart felt unhappy at the thought of the long time Blake would be gone. I could not
help but frown thinking that he would be away for that long. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Ever since I left the Red Moon pack, he has always been by my side. Even when he was busy, just the
thought that he would be somehow around made me feel safe and calm.
It would be the first time that we would be away from each other. Suddenly, two weeks felt too long.
While I was wallowing on my thoughts, I suddenly felt Blake’s warm palm on my waist pulling me closer
to his side.
Surprised by the sudden contact, I looked up and stared at him wide eyed. Leaning closer to me, I saw
his handsome and sincere face, making my heart beat faster and louder.
I could not help but feel my cheeks turn warmer, and blush.
I tried to look away to hide, but Blake’s deep magnetic voice rang softly on my left ear asking, “Are you
worried that you would miss me too much?”
