Fated For Lycan's Luna

Chapter 62

But even with my playful response, the doubt and suspicion on Blake’s face did not fade.

He looked at me and asked, “Then why would you say such a thing?”

His voice was ever so gentle, he even affectionately flicked my forehead out of habit. But I knew that he

was already thinking too much of my words.

And so I immediately switched my mood and looked at him directly, my shoulders relaxed as I

answered, “Well… I am saying this out of worry…”

“After all, my body is very weak… If an accident happened during the detoxification process, then it

might not only be dangerous for Aurora but to me as well…”

“You know that I could not always stay with you right???” I looked him straight in his eyes, and let out a

drop of my worry to be revealed in order to convince him of my ‘fear’.

“What if I die-” I started to say when suddenly, I felt a finger pressed on my lips.

“Chloe, stop…” Blake did not let me finish my sentence and answered with determination, “Aurora's

poison would definitely cure and she would be safe… Chloe, I swear on my name!”

He looked at me with a determined and serious expression. The entire table paused as we could feel

how heavy the atmosphere was over his reaction toward my words.

At that moment, I knew to no longer trigger him and smiled sweetly, “I believe you Blake. I trust that you

would definitely find a way to cure me.”

And just like that, we continued our meal silently until a Beta came in.

“Greetings, Alpha, Luna and Lady Lyra… pardon me for disturbing your meal…” The beta immediately

saluted and looked at us apologetically.

“Speak…” Blake waved his hand calmly and asked the Beta.

“Alpha, I am here to inform you that this is an urgent matter for you to deal with…” The beta looked at

Lyra and I, then he answered vaguely.

Blake immediately understood and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then he said, “Chloe… I’ll leave you

with Lyra… you two continue your dinner.”

“Alright Blake, take care.” I nodded and watched him and the beta leave.

After Blake left, I no longer had the appetite to eat.

It was like my energy and the cheerfulness that I showcased earlier vanished in thin air. I immediately

slumped on my seat and sighed dejectedly.

Lyra looked at me with confusion and deep thoughts while she was slowly eating her meal. She was

staring at ,e intently, looking as if she wanted to say something, but chose not to.

“Lyra… I do not know whether you already know about these things, but I will just say it just in case…”

“Blake tends to forget his breakfast and dive straight to work… so if he ever does this habit you can

have the kitchen quickly prepare him a light breakfast…” In the end I looked at Lyra and started to

subconsciously tell her Blake’s every little habit, so that she would be able to take care of it once I am

gone.

“His favorite is eggs benedict… Oh, he’s been quite obsessed with earl gray tea these days… but try to

change his morning tea once in a while…”

“He likes to have a book on his bedside so that he can relax before finally going to sleep… so you can

try to curate good books for him to read when his latest book has finished…”

“These days, he likes the scent of sandalwood in his office, you can have the servants buy more of it as

well…”

“And don’t forget that…”

“Chloe… please no more.” Lyra put down her silverware and interrupted me with a serious look on her

face.

I paused and looked at her in surprise, not expecting that she would react this way over what I was

trying to say.

“I told those things to you not because I want you to leave, Chloe. It is never my intention for you to be

forced to leave.” She looked at me heavily and continued, stressing every word.

“I am also not interested in taking your position on Blake’s side…”

“Yes, I like Blake, but I am not as despicable as to scheme to let you go away on your own. If I really

wanted Blake for myself, I would win over Blake fair and square, I will never use such an underhanded

tactic. I will not instigate you to leave…” She continued as her face became more serious and

borderline angry.

“All I want… is for Blake not to hurt himself in the process of detoxifying your wolf… In short, I want you

to finally accept that you would no longer have a wolf so as to not force Blake to lose his as well…” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Chloe.. That’s all I wanted. I never wanted anything beyond that…” Lyra looked at me, with a myriad of

emotions displayed on her ever expressionless face.

This was the first time I saw her exhibit many emotions at once ever since I first met her. At first, I felt

complicated and awkward as well.

However, I knew Lyra’s character as well and that she really meant what she said. That is just her

character, she is upright and honest, reliable and strong. She was not some underhanded person who

would try to hurt the people around her.

As I realized this, all the more that I believe that my choice to leave Blake with her is right.

“I know, and I understood your intentions very well…” I smiled at Lyra and answered.

“But did you not know Blake’s character as well? You know that once Blake decided on something, he

would see through it until the end…” I leaned over the table and stared at Lyra, wanting her to

understand where I am coming from.

“Lyra, with his character, do you think that he would agree once I told him to no longer mind about my

condition?” I asked her while looking straight into her eyes.

Lyra was caught beyond words and was silent for a long while.

She knew the answer in her heart, but did not have the courage to say it.

In the end, I straightened my back and continued, “Blake can only give up on detoxifying Aurora if I am

no longer here.”

The chatters in the cafeteria became less loud. At that moment, it seemed as if there were only the two

of us in the place.

Lyra looked at me, a complicated expression appeared on her face. I started to feel guilty, as it felt as if

I was taking out my problems on her. But I had to say the things I had to say.

And so, though I knew it hurts us both, I continued to talk as Lyra continued to listen to me in silence.

“If I make myself disappear, he would not sacrifice himself for me as well. Although it might be hard for

you and the rest to convince him to give up finding me, it is a better option than allowing the him, the

king and Alpha of this pack to sacrifice himself just for a wolfless one like me…”
