Chapter 48
“What we need here is a powerful Luna. How long do you think the Silver Pack could wait for you?”
Astor said with a cold voice.
The members of the Silver Pack were always nothing but kind to me, so I did not at all expect Astor to
ask me such a question. My mood suddenly sank.
How long could the Silver Pack wait for me? My entire body suddenly turned cold. That question… I did
not know what to answer…
Seeing the change in my expression, Astor’s eyes turned even colder before he said with a harsh tone,
“Or is the pack wrong? Is it that you don’t want to be the Luna of the Silver Pack at all?”
After he spoke, Astor turned around, leaving me alone.
At night, I tossed and turned in bed, Astor’s words kept on repeating in my mind. In fact, what Astor told
me hit me right in the bullseyes.
From the moment I arrived in the Silver Pack until Astor arrived, I did not seriously think about whether
I really wanted to be the Luna…I simply liked ke.
“But bing the Luna of the Silver Pack is not as simple as being just ke’s Luna…” I muttered
over my pillow. epting that role, I would be responsible for the entire pack. “Could I really take on
this heavy responsibility? Besides… look at my current physical condition…”
“How can I be their Luna when I can’t even do anything by myself…”
“Really… Why am I always this helpless?” Feeling frustrated, I grabbed my pillow and fully covered my
head with it.
“Ugh I’m starting to have a headache…” I mumbled before getting up from the bed and opening the
window. Instantly, the cool breeze blew in, making me feel a little cool. Outside the window, in the night
sky, the moon was beautifully shining over the Silver Pack that looked even more beautiful under the
bright moonlight.
‘Such a beautiful ce…’ I thought as I gently looked over the Silver Pack. ‘Am I really qualified to be
their Luna? Can I really… guard the Silver Pack with ke?’
On the second day, I arrived at the training ground very early. Astor had a surprised expression on his
face after seeing that I arrived earlier than him. He also briefly nced at my neat clothes that I
specifically changed into for the training.
Last night, I made up my mind that I would work hard to be a Luna worthy of ke. With
everything that I have, I would train very hard so that I could be responsible for the Silver Pack with
him.
I met Teacher Astor’s eyes with all seriousness. I ‘No matter how strict he would be… ‘ I thought before
clenching my fists. ‘This time… I will not back down.’
During the training, I was still in a weak position. Everytime I had a spar, I would always be defeated.
Each time, I would be injured all over. But I wiped away my tears.
At the end of the training day, I fell on the floor, gasping with air. On my right arm, a huge, nasty bruise
was starting to form, while I could not raise my left arm, as I felt it was slightly dislocated. Astor, who
slowly approached me, looked at me with his cold eyes.
“It’s still not toote for you to give up,” he told me with his icy voice. “You are so weak. It’s better for
you not to waste everyone’s time,” he added before leaving the training area.
The next day, despite feeling like my body was about to copse, I showed up in the training ground
and once more, earlier than Astor.
A hint of surprise shed on Astor’s eyes but he did not say anything and only started my training. By
the end of the day, I was once again sprawled on the floor, feeling blooding out of my mouth.

Teacher Astor once again approached me. He looked at me from head to toe before turning around,
intending to leave the room. But after a few steps, I heard his cold voice saying, “As long as you say
that you give up, you won’t have to suffer like right.
I watched Astor’s leaving back and felt bittersweet. Though Teacher Astor was so cold with his words,
he stilles to train me every day and check on my injuries before leaving.
A few days passed like this. Everyday, Teacher Astor would train me until I could no longer move my
body. In just a few days, my entire body was riddled ck and blue, but I did not give up. Every
morning, despite the pain I was going through, I forced my body to get up and continue my training.
But at the end of the day, the results of my training were not optimistic.
I looked down on my body that was again sprawled on the ground, feeling disappointed. Like the days
before, I was hurting all over and could not move. It felt like no matter how hard I trained, there was no
improvement on my body.
The same as the days before, Teacher Astor approached me to check on my injuries. Then, he
frowned.
“The result of the training today is very poor. Don’t eat any food tonight,” he coldly said. I closed my
eyes and silently nodded, agreeing to what he said.
It was Carrie who immediately greeted me when I returned to the pack house.
“Hi… Chloe! Wee back!” She smiled while pointing at the table. “I prepared all of your favorite
food. Come and eat dinner!”
I looked at the beautifully prepared dishes and a sad smile appeared on my lips.
“Thank you, Carrie… But I don’t have an appetite tonight,” I softly told her. A surprised expression
appeared on Carrie’s face before she hurriedly approached me and held my hand.
“What’s wrong, Chloe? You never skipped dinner before…” She asked. Looking at Carrie’s worried
eyes, I could not help but confess to her.
“I had poor training today… so Teacher Astor punished me. He told me not to eat dinner tonight,” I told
her with a sad tone.
Carrie’s eyes widened before she carefully told me, “Chloe… but I think it’s alright to eat something
secretly… otherwise you will have no strength for tomorrow’s training…”
I felt Carrie’s concern towards me, but I shook my head. “I can’t, Carrie. I must do what I promised…” I
replied. “Just like how I promised to ke that I would receive this training…”
“So, I must do it,” I told Carrie who sighed before patting my shoulder.
“Alright. You can do it! I know you can!” Carrie started cheering me up. “I’ll just be here to support you!”
She added with a big smile.
My heart felt warm. Seeing Carrie’s support, I suddenly missed ke who was still away because of
the mission.
I looked out the window. Outside, the night looked peaceful and calm.
‘I don’t know how things are going on with ke and the others…’
‘I wonder… when they cane home…’ I thought to myself as I felt a dull ache in my heart.
