Chapter 57


    When I woke up, it was almost noon the next day. I looked at the side of my bed and found that ke


    had already left.


    Thinking back to what happenedst night, I couldn''t help but blush with embarrassment.


    ‘I never knew that I could be so bold’ I thought as the scene of ke and I passionately kissing until I


    fell asleep flooded my mind like a raging river.


    Feeling the inexplicable bliss, I prepared for the day and went to ke happily. My cheeks heated up


    as my heart felt warm and giddy. The smile on my face was not even whipped out since the moment I


    left the room.


    However, as I walked toward ke’s office, I could not help but notice the way everyone looked at me


    strangely.


    It was far from the happy and epting smiles I receivedst night at my birthday party. They just


    greeted me and left in a hurry, everyone was unnatural.


    Even so, that did not affect my mood. I didn''t think much about it until I got there at the door of ke''s


    room.


    I saw Carrie justing out of the room. The moment she saw me, her face changed and was


    obviously flustered. Her expression had taken me aback.


    “C- Chloe, I have something to tell you… would youe with me for a while?” She said as she was


    about to pull me away.


    I became more confused and then through the open door I saw a woman in the room.


    A bad feeling stuck in my mind as I firstid my eyes as the woman inside.


    Not even responding to what Carrie said, my hand was already pushing the door and entered. There I


    saw how the woman looked clearly.


    She was beautiful and her aura was very striking. One look at her and everyone would be stunned by


    her impactful countenance, especially the ever-piercing eyes she had.


    I stared at her and she at me, there was a nagging feeling that the woman in front of me did not like me


    at all.


    “Chloe, you’re up…” The silent stare down was interrupted by ke’s voice as he greeted me.


    Pushing back the unpleasant thought in my mind I walked toward ke and smiled, “I seemed to have


    disturbed you… May I know who this is?”


    I asked while trying to hide the ufortable feeling in my heart as I could not help but look back and


    forth to ke and the woman.


    The more I look at them, the more I could feel that they have a lot of simrities. So much that I could


    even conclude that those simrities could make them look perfectlypatible with each other.


    More importantly, from the way the woman presents herself, I could already feel that she was special.


    “Chloe, this is Lyra. Lyra, this is Chloe…” ke simply introduced Lyra''s name and did not say


    anymore.


    As if on cue, Lyra stepped forward to say hello to me. “Nice to meet you Chloe.”


    “It’s nice to meet you too.” I put on a smile then turned to ke with a questioning look.


    As a response, ke took a quick nce at Arthur and Carrie who were standing awkwardly in the


    room, then finally looked at me and said.


    “Chloe, I still have something to talk to Lyra about, I will talk to youter.”


    Not even processing what ke said, Carrie and Arthur already started to pull me out of the room. As


    for me, I kept looking back at ke and Lyra with a bad feeling in her heart.


    As Arthur and Carrie brought me to another ce, I could not help but ask the two, “Just who is Lyra?”


    The two looked at each other withplicated expressions then finally they answered.


    “Well, Lyra is a fighter and she is very capable. She was one of the strongest and most reliable fighters


    in the Silver Pack back then…” Carrie started to exin.


    “You can also say that many of ke''s current achievements are due to Lyra''s help in fighting


    together…”


    “I see… But what makes you guys so hesitant to tell me who she is earlier?” As I heard about her, I


    thought that it would just be normal for someone of the Silver Pack to have a warrior like Lyra, just like


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    how there was Teacher Astor who trained everyone to be a very good fighter.


    I could not understand how their faces contorted, not wanting to exin something to me as I asked


    about her.


    This time, Carrie elbowed Arthur and so I looked at him who did not have any choice but to exin


    further.


    “You see… Lyra is an orphan taken in by ke… They grew up and trained together as well… and


    then..” Arthur started to stutter and did not want to say anything more.


    “And then?” I raised my brows and asked. The bad feeling intensified in my heart and I could not allow


    myself to be kept in the dark as long as it is something that is rted to ke.


    “T-then…She fell in love with ke during the day and night together and fought side by side. At one


    point, everyone in the pack thought that the two of them would be mates and she would be the future


    luna…”


    “But a year ago, Lyra chose to leave the pack and ke because she wanted to avenge her family.


    ke once asked her to give up her hatred, but failed to persuade her.”


    “Even so, ke protected her safely, when he knew that Lyra found her mate a year ago, ke gave


    uppletely.”


    “This time Lyra suddenly came back, I heard that it was because her mate just abused her, she finally


    escaped a month ago, after a month of recuperation, she finally decided to return to the silver pack.”


    The more I hear Arthur exin about Lyra and ke’s rtionship, the more her heart sank.


    I tried to maintain myposure and worked hard to grasp the key information.


    Lyra was very capable… her achievements spoke greatly…


    She and ke were in love...


    They were even viewed as future mates and a couple…


    The supposedly Alpha and Luna of the Silver Pack…


    Then that moment, I recalled that when I met Lyra for the first time, I could not help but notice the


    obvious simrity andpatibility she had with ke.


    “So…” Lost for words to say, I tried to strike another conversation but failed to do so.


    The things in my head caused me to be extremely anxious. And as for how ke still sees Lyra… I


    didn''t dare to think any further.


    Seeing my reaction, Carrie and Arthurforted me.


    Arthur looked at me with sympathy and tried to dispel my anxiousness, “Hey, Chloe… Don’t think too


    much about it. Lyra might only be here for a while this time, we still do not know if she ns toe


    back to the Silver Pack as well.”


    “Arthur is right Chloe. Don’t mind about Lyra and ke’s past. Just know that ke only likes you


    now… You and my brother are mates, remember?” Carrie chimed in.


    But I couldn''t listen at all. Their words meant well, but I seemed to have been stuck in my own world


    thinking about how ke might possibly give up being mates with me and choose Lyra in the end.


    After all, that thing had already happened to me once, it might happen againter. At that thought, I


    began to panic and subconsciously grabbed my clothes in my nervousness.


    “Chloe…” Just as I was immersed in my emotions, I heard ke calling out my name as he walked in


    the room.
