Chapter 118
Blake's POV
I tapped on the power of my wolf and immediately shot towards where their scent was going.
I rushed deeper and deeper in the woods, until Chloe and the other’s scents thickened and intertwined.
Finally, I stopped seeing the situation my mate was in.
Trapped and helpless, I saw Chloe collapsed in the ground while several attacks were already rushing
to take her life away.
Her body was full of scratches and dirt, her face filled with tears and horror. She was closing her eyes,
as if she had already resigned to her fate.
‘How dare you!’ The intense will to kill and destroy covered me as I moved as fast as I could and killed
off the attackers.
As I rushed, I could see the smug look on their faces, looking at my mate like she was a prize to win.
These sc*ms think they could even step on me as if they were powerful?
Before me, the Lycan King, they will die without even having a chance to scream for their lives.
Their lives were like a piece of paper to me, so easy to tear and destroy!
With that, I flashed toward the enemies and took their lives one by one. Like a reaper, out to harvest
fruits in the light of the day, I took their lives in the middle of the dark night.
None of the enemies even figured out how they died, and the only one who could barely follow my
movements was the leader standing frozen in terror, “F*ck… how did you…”
Before he could even finish, I swung my hand, separating his head to his body. Their blood splashed all
over my body, but it could not wash away the killing intent and the bloodlust that I was exuding at the
moment.
“B-blake…” But as I finished the life of the leader of the assailants, I heard Chloe’s call.
It took a deep breath, trying to take away the bloodlust in my entire body. Then I turned around and
looked at Chloe gently.
Worry swept over me as I carefully held her, checking the injuries to her body.
“Chloe, are you alright?” My heart ached to see her tear stricken face and the scratches all around her.
However, just as I was about to hear her answer, I suddenly felt her entire body shiver as she looked
down.
“N-no!!!”
She cried as if she had lost something so important, following her gaze I looked down.
A slap of soberness washed me, like a river of ice-cold water flooding my entire being. ‘This can’t be…’
Blood flowed between her legs, and her pale expression had already told me…
Our child’s condition is not good!
“Hang on… I will not let anything happen to you and our baby!” My mind exploded in haste as I quickly
carried her and rushed back to the pack.
“No… my baby… our baby…” Chloe’s hysterical sobs and trembling body was already like fire burning
my hand and my heart but I still pressed on and rushed.
“Teacher Astor… That’s right… We have teacher Astor… Chloe. So, calm down and do not panic ok?” I
searched to calm her as I could see on my eyes that we are already closing in the pack’s entrance.
There I already saw Carrie and Arthur anxiously waiting for us.
However, I flashed passed them before they could even ask Chloe’s condition. In my mind, I only
thought about going to Teacher Astor and plead for my mate and child’s life.
The moment I have arrived, Teacher Astor was had already opened the door with a grave expression
on his face.
With his abilities I knew that he had already felt our presence and received my mind link.
“Take her here…” Teacher Astor looked at the pale and strengthless Chloe in my arms as he instructed
me to lay her on the examination bed.
“Teacher… please…” I opened my mouth and pleaded, but Teacher Astor’s look shot me down.
“Arthur, take him out, no one is to disturb us.” He looked behind me and realized that Arthur and Carrie
followed.
“Let’s go Blake…” Arthur held my shoulders.
I am unwilling to move, but I know that the longer I refused to go, the longer my child and Chloe could
receive a treatment.
Time passed by as Arthur and Carrie accompanied me outside. The moon shined over us but then why
is it that everything in me feels dark?
Carrie squatted beside me; she leaned over my shoulders as if to give me comfort at this crucial
moment.
But my heart trembled as the anxiety and fear of losing something haunted me now.
I felt like I was gagged in the moment and I could only breath air once I see my mate and child alright.
Clack…
When the dawn came, the door opened. I quickly stood up and met Teacher Astor’s grim face.
He looked at me, with a mix of disappointment, sadness, and pity while he opened his mouth to say,
“We lost the child…”
“What… can you say it again… T-teacher Astor?” Filled with disbelief, I felt like my ears were ringing,
so much that I could not hear his words properly.
Teacher Astor looked at me once more, this time, there was a hint of blame on his face as he reiterated
each and every word, “Blake, you’ve lost your child… You might even lose your mate as well...”
“Oh, my goodness!” Carrie collapsed on the ground as she cried in grief. Arthur looked down and
clenched his fist, not knowing who to comfort between the two of us.
Teacher Astor took another glance at us before he stepped away walking somewhere we do not know.
I felt like my body is struck by lightning viciously as I trembled and glanced inside.
“C-chloe?” I mumbled while my body is trembling all over.
Chloe was in the room, sitting on the treatment bed with a soulless expression.
She held a thing in her hand, it was caged in a glass. She was caressing it without even minding the
surrounding, not even hearing my voice.
“My child you are so tiny… but I could see your little fingers and limbs…”
“My child you are just a few months old in my womb…”
“Why… did you come out so impatiently?”
Her voice was laced with madness and grief, her face would haunt me forever.
The smile on Chloe’s face paired with the desperate tears and lost eyes, rendered my feet week.
Thud!
I fell on the ground, kneeling before my mate, who was still not recognizing my opinion.
“Chloe… I’m sorry…” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“I’m really sorry…” I knelt on the floor as I gasped of air to ease the tightening of my chest.
The pain is too much for me to handle, but more so, the haunting wails of my mate who was now
screaming in heartbreak.
“AHHHHH!!!! My child? Why did you leave mommy alone?!”
It was only then did I realize what really happened, how everything started and how my choices have
caused me to this end.
Who is to blame?
Is it the enemies who came relentlessly on our territory and tried to pester us and take away our
peace?
Is it my warriors who were unable to protect the pack?
Is it my friends who could not even understand where I am coming from?
Is it Lyra who took the matters on her hand and caused Chloe to leave me alone, and even run to the
enemy trap?
Or is it Chloe who left me without even giving me a chance to explain?
No… actually... None of them is to blame.
There is no one to blame but me.
It is me…
Me who lied and treated Chloe like a weak flower that could only thrive within my presence.
It was me who vented my anger on other things and ignored my responsibilities to selfishly pursue my
own desires.
It was me who treated myself too hard and caused my friends and trusted warriors to be disappointed
in me.
All of this I would never realize, until, I see the cost of it all.
My child’s life… bore the cost of it all!
