Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 41

I stared at Arthur blankly, unsure what he meant.

“Chloe…” He started to explain. “Actually… Blake and I have been researching the possible poison of your wolf.”

“We found out that combined with the symptoms you described to us before, it is most likely that you have been given the poison from a Simala flower…”

“This poison was popular years ago and people used it with the primary purpose of restraining the ability of the wolves. But because of its fatality, this poison was banned, and its production was prohibited.” The more I listened to Arthur, the more and more my body felt cold.

“B-banned?” I stuttered, my mind was in a mess.

Arthur sighed, clearly sympathizing with me. He carefully replied, “This poison is so fatal that once it is given to a werewolf, either the human or her wolf would die. There is yet to be an instance when both of them survive.”

“And up until now, no one has yet to find an antidote for this poison…” He added.

Blake and Arthur watched me closely, worry was evidence in their eyes. I looked at them but was not seeing them. My body just froze.

‘Poison from a Simala flower?’ I repeated his words in my head. ‘I have studied poison since I was young… how could I never heard this poison before?’

‘And he said there is no antidote to this poison?’ Hands trembled slightly, his words kept ringing in my ears.

‘No… I can’t accept this… I am unwilling to accept it!’

“This… my blood… maybe my blood can detoxify this poison…” I started to say. I swallowed anxiously. Although I tried hard to stay calm, my voice started shaking.

Arthur sighed before shaking his head. “I’m sorry, Chloe. Your blood couldn’t be the cure. Otherwise, your wolf would have long been cured of this poison.”

My heart sank. Suddenly, I felt like I was thrown into an endless abyss.

“B-but… this is such a cruel poison… why did it appear in the Red Moon Pack?” I asked, desperation started to fill my heart.

“And… Why did someone poison me with this?” My eyes started to feel hot.

At that moment, I felt so exhausted… so physically and mentally exhausted…

“I don’t want to lost Aurora… The last time I talked to her… I even promised that I would cure her… But now…” I softly mumbled as tears started falling down my eyes. My heart clenched tightly, and I could hardly breathe.

Blake watched me with a concerned expression. Slowly, he approached me, held my hand and squeezed it. Then, he told me with a soft, gentle, “In the future, you should not force Aurora to wake up, because if you do, it would damage your own body.”

“But…” I started to say as helplessness filled me. Blake leaned his head and touched his forehead with mine, effectively making me stop talking.

“It’s only temporary. Please trust me,” he talked in a voice that was almost a whisper.

“I will definitely find an antidote and cure Aurora. But before that, I need you to protect yourself first.”

“Just give me some time. Alright, Chloe?” Blake softly asked as he looked at me with eyes filled with promise.

I opened my lips but could not say anything. In the end, I closed my eyes, and putting my fate to Blake, I nodded, indicating to him my agreement.

For the next few days, I was not myself. I could not do anything, and only wandered around the territory of the Silver Pack.

I tried to stay calm and forced myself to relax, believing that soon, Blake would find a way to save Aurora.

"But Arthur saw through my lies. He knew how I was yearning to go out… to feel the air on my face and the soil on my feet. I wanted to run around while laughing with my friends. So everyday… Arthur would visit me and give me something from the forest."

"It's usually flowers or unique looking leaves. Sometimes, he would put the soil in a jar and bring it to me…'

"There was even a time when he sneaked a frog in my bedroom. Though he was caught and was punished," Carrie added before laughing. Her eyes arched like a crescent moon, making her look beautiful.

"Arthur told me that one day, he will become a great doctor and will cure my sickness…" Her smile slowly disappeared. "He fulfilled his promise. Now, I am as healthy as I can be…"

"I can go outside... I can feel the air and the soil, and laugh while running around whenever I want to…"

"But Arthur is no longer by my side… When I go to him… all he does is to avoid me…" She said in a very soft voice. I saw the pain flashed in her eyes and could not help but feel bad.

"Carrie… when you become an adult… what if you find out that Arthur is not your mate?"

"Or what if later on… Arthur finds his mate… and it isn't you?" Those were painful questions that had to be asked.

Carrie visibly froze, her face turned pale. "I… also don't know…" It was only after a while when she managed to answer.

Carrie was suffering inside, knowing fully well the fatal attraction a matebond contained. But despite this, she just could not give up Arthur.

I saw her dilemma and stood up. I approached Carrie and patted her on the back. "Then, what about asking Arthur what he really thought about you?" I suggested.

Upon hearing me, Carrie looked up and met my eyes that were surprisingly suspicious.
