Chloe's POV
Cold wind blew on my face as Caleb moved fast. Behind us, I could feel the numerous enemies running after us. Yet, Caleb was able to outrun them.
‘He’s moving fast…’ I thought as my body was still paralyzed from the impact of using Aurora’s powers. ‘Among everyone I know… it seems like only Blake and Teacher Astor move as fast as him…’
‘Could it be that Caleb is also… the alpha of his pack?’ I weakly knitted my brows. ‘Is that the reason why he is doing his best, even risking his life, to find survivors of his pack?’
“D*mn it!” I heard him curse before he took a sharp turn to the left. “Hey… did you pass out? Where am I suppose to go?” I heard him say.
I blinked once, my exhausted mind trying to understand what he said. A second later, I told him with a weak voice, “Turn left and then left…”
“At the corner… there is a hidden passage…” I softly whispered to him. Right away, Caleb’s body moved and followed my direction. Taking the hidden routes, bit by bit we gained distance between us and the enemies. Until a minute later when I could no longer feel anyone nearby. Caleb was even able to trick the enemies on taking the opposite direction from us.
“I think we lost them,” Caleb said before stopping for a moment and hiding at the back of a tree trunk. “So what’s the plan? Do you still want to try and save your members?” He asked with a hushed tone.
I looked at him and took a deep breath. Then, I said, “I already did…”
“I managed to save some of them… Right now… they are waiting at the cave…’ I told him. Caleb looked at me, his eyes were sparkled with amazement.
“You already got them?” He raised his brows. “Also, I thought that you didn’t have a wolf? How come you were in your wolf form when I saw you? And even a white wolf?” His smile turned into a smirk.
“I also thought that you aren’t coming to help me. How come... you’re here?” I asked with a weak voice.
Upon hearing my words, Caleb’s eyes turned serious as he replied, “You charged here alone in the middle of your enemies to try and save your members. Knowing that, how could I stay still?”
“Anyway, I think the enemies are far enough. Should we try to meet your members now?”
A few minutes later, Caleb and I finally reached the entrance of the hidden cave. As I stepped inside, an overwhelming sensation washed over me—the undeniable connection I shared with every member of the pack. With each passing step, the bond grew stronger, resonating deep within my heart. It was as if my very essence was aflame, ignited by the presence of my pack.
Aurora met my gaze, her red eyes alive with emotions too profound for mere words. It was as if she communicated her depths of love and understanding through the language of her soul. Without hesitation, she leaned towards me, gently pressing her head against mine in a tender display of affection.
"Aurora..." I sniffled, my voice choked with emotion. "I believed... I thought you were lost to me..." Tears streamed down my face, carrying the weight of my grief. "I hadn't heard from you... ever since I returned to the Red Moon Pack..."
"I truly believed... I truly believed you were gone," I cried, my voice breaking. The pain of the thought threatened to overwhelm me.
Aurora's nuzzling persisted, offering solace in her touch. And then, I heard her ethereal voice, carrying words that stirred a mix of confusion and curiosity within me.
"I have almost died," she softly told me, the words resonating in the depths of my soul. "Chloe, I thought I would never see you again... If it weren't for that twist of fate, I would have been lost forever..."
My brows furrowed as I tried to comprehend her words, my heart heavy with anticipation. I blinked, meeting her gaze, silently urging her to explain. And with a profound weight in her voice, she revealed the truth that would forever alter my perception of our shared journey.
"Chloe, when your child tragically passed away, she bore the burden of your poison within her... In sacrificing herself, she became the vessel that carried away the poison, thus healing me," Aurora revealed, her words echoing in the depths of my being.
