Chapter 52
"Hah... hah..." I panted hard. Inside my chest, I felt like my lungs were about to explode while I felt my
knees shaking. But despite my efforts, I still could not keep up.
I looked in front of me and saw the members of the Silver Pack were already far ahead. Seeing their
backs go smaller and smaller, I coould not help but panic.
"W-wait... please wait for me..." I begged but the Silver Pack did not hear me. Or maybe... they did, but
just chose to ignore me.
"Hah....!" I let out a pant before suddenly, my eyes were filled with darkness and my knees gave up.
Before I knew it, my body was already falling on the ground.
Soon, I was laying down on the floor filled with mud and no matter what I did, I could not get up.
"She is our Luna?" Suddenly, I heard a whisper around me. "This is just too embarrassing..." The
person continued. Instantly, my body froze.
"I know right... She can't even shift. How can she be our Luna?" Another person said. My hands shook
as I tried my best to lift my head. However, no matter how hard I tried, I could not do it.
Instead, the more I struggled, the more I felt my body slowly being buried in the mud. I could only
helplessly lay down and I heard the person continued,
"Not only she can't shift... I heard that she is even poisoned... Look, she can't even complete a simple
exercise like this..."
"...with the physical state like that... she really tried being the Luna of our Silver pack?"
"She is... really not worthy to be the Luna of the Silver Pack," The person said, making my entire body
feel cold.
'I am not... worthy...' I repeated the words in my head and felt a sharp pain in my heart as my old
wounds that I tried hard to overcome slowly reopened.
"I am trying my best... I am pushing myself to the limits... p-please... give me a chance..." I pleaded with
my shaking voice, making my heart sink even more.
That was... until I heard a familiar voice that I had been yearning in my heart.
"A chance?" I heard Blake say. But compared to his usual soft and kind tone, when he talked... he
sounded so cold and disappointed. I was suddenly filled with fear and anxiety.
"Didn't I already give you so much of it?"
"I believed in you, Chloe. This is just... so disappointing," Blake said before I heard him turning his back
and going away.
"Ah...!" Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw a completely different scene. I was no longer stuck in the
mud, instead, I was back in my room, laying in my bed.
"A... dream?" My voice shook as I felt my body feel weak, my forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Chloe!" Carrie suddenly said before she ran towards me. It was only then when I realized that I was
not alone in my room.
Aside from Carrie, Astor was also there with me. Seeing that I woke up, both of them stood up and
walked towards me.
"How are you, Chloe? Are you okay? You suddenly fainted!" Carrie said with a worried tone. I shook my
head and told her I was okay.
"There is nothing wrong with her body," after checking on me, Astor said with an indifferent tone. "It
seems like Chloe is indeed so weak. This little training is already unbearable for her," he added.
I hurriedly lowered my head and apologized.
"I'm sorry, teacher Astor. I will work harder tomorrow..." I replied with a weak voice.
"The training is suspended for tomorrow," Astor said. Suddenly, I remembered my dream. If I stopped
training for a day, wouldn't the members of the Silver Pack feel more disappointed towards me?
I instantly felt more anxious and hurriedly said, "I don't need to rest, I want to make myself stronger as
soon as possible...!"
For a fraction of a second, I thought a surprised look appeared in Astor's eyes. However, when I
blinked, it was already gone and what I saw was only Astor's strict eyes.
"We don't have training tomorrow not because of you. I have some things to deal with," he said with a
cold tone before turning around and leaving the room.
"Oh." I could only say when the door was already closed. Beside me, Carrie suddenly laughed.
"Teacher Astor is worried about you. He cancelled tomorrow's training mainly for you to have a good
rest," she said.
Hearing that, my head lowered even more. "Carrie... I really am too weak, aren't I?" I softly said, my
voice was filled with self-blame.
"No, Chloe... don't say that. You are already very strong," she tried to comfort me. Other times I would
feel better after hearing Carrie's warm words. But at that moment, it could just not lift my mood up.
After a short while, a servant brought my favorite food.
"Please have a good rest, Chloe," Carrie told me before she left the room, leaving me alone.
I looked at the great looking dishes beside me and felt very uncomfortable. Everyone in the Silver Pack
was very kind to me. But... I did not know how to repay their kindness.
Feeling so bad, I subconsciously turned to the person giving me the most comfort and warmth. Before I
could think about it, I already tried to form a mindlink with Blake. I did not expect that it would be
established so fast.
"Chloe?" Only after a second, I heard Blake's warm words in my mind. Instantly, my cheeks felt hot.
"B-Blake... how are you?" I said after a few seconds of hesitation. "Is everything okay?"
Blake took a few seconds before he replied. "I'm okay and everything is alright here. Chloe... did
something happened? Your voice sounded weak," he said with a worried tone.
My eyes widened. How could he tell with just a word? Still, I shook my head and said, "No...! This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Everything is okay here too!"
"Is that so?" Blake replied. "Okay, Chloe."
"Hmm, but regardless of anything, please remember this. You no longer have to face your troubles
alone," he said with a kind, warm tone.
"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. The only purpose why I asked you to train is so
you can protect yourself with your own ability."
"You don't need to feel that you are training for other people. It isn't for me, it isn't for the Silver Pack.
You are training for yourself," Blake comforted me.
His words went straight into my heart. Upon listening to him, my nose felt sore and tears started to fill
my eyes.
Silently, I wiped my tears away. "Okay... I understand..." I replied, trying to hide the fact that I was
crying.
"Hmmm. When I return, I will bring you to eat something really good," Blake told me, making me
chuckle.
"Okay! You have to buy me some good food, including drinks and dessert!" I replied like a child. This
time, it was Blake who let out a chuckle.
"Alright, I understand," he said softly. After a while, I told Blake affectionately, "I miss you."
Blake did not say anything for a bit. It was only after a few seconds when he replied with a really gentle
tone, "I miss you too, Chloe." My heart was immediately filled with warmth.
"Actually, I have something important to tell you," Blake suddenly said. His serious voice made me sit
up straighter.
"Chloe, during my trip this time, I have found a cure for Aurora," he said, making my body suddenly
freeze.
