Chapter 120


    Chloe’s POV


    I knelt on the ground, nkly staring at the grave feeling light headed. I still could not believe that my


    baby was gone and could never see the light of the world.


    Carrie was beside me, with her heartbreaking cries she carefully decorated the surroundings of the


    grave with flowers.


    cing thest flower on my hand, I touched the ground and took a handful of earth on my baby’s


    grave.


    Tears started to fall once more as I remembered that I would be leaving this ce once more. In my


    heart, I would never ever go back to this ce again.


    ‘Watch me from above, my lovely child…’ I whispered silently in my heart as I pulled my body up and


    stood.


    “Hic…” But as I took a step forward, my body and my mind began to crumble once more in devastation.


    ‘What could be my reason to live?’


    ‘My baby is gone…’


    ‘I cannot be with ke as well…’


    ‘Where to?’


    “Chloe, are you alright?” Carrie speedily stood and caught up to me, immediately preventing me from


    falling.


    “I-im fine Carrie…” I forced a smile and shook my head. “Carrie… you heard everything earlier… I must


    go…”


    Carrie’s hands froze and her face showed helplessness.


    I could see the struggle in her eyes as she tried to find the words to say. One was her beloved brother,


    the other was her friend.


    “I-i know Chloe… but… you’ve just had a miscarriage… this would be too harmful for you… besides


    you also had a lot of injuries from the attack…” Carrie tried her best to persuade me but to no avail.


    “It’s fine Carrie… besides, I cannot stay a second longer in this ce…” I answered in a soft tone as I


    looked up at the sky that is now fully blue. “As long as I am here, the enemies will not stop targeting the


    Silver pack…”


    “Moreover, ke will continue to consider me in his decisions and will eventually bring the entire pack


    down…”


    “Carrie… I''m sorry… but I hope you understand where I aming from…” I held her hand and looked


    at her sincerely.


    “I know but… you two… Sigh…” Carrie tried to search for words to say but in the end, she sighed and


    continued, “Why must things reach to this point… maybe… just maybe… if the little one is saved,


    maybe…”


    Carrie started to mumble as she looked down, her eyes started to water in tears once more.


    I held the side of her face and wiped away her tears, “It does not work like that Carrie… In fact, even if


    the ambush did not happen, I would havee up with the same conclusion. I will still choose to


    separate with ke so that he would have to regain himself.”


    “What kind of mate am I if I allow my other half to destroy himself for me?” I let out a self-deprecating


    smile as I mumbled these words.


    “Look after your brother for me, okay? Also, please tell teacher Astor, I’m sorry… I disappointed him, in


    the end. I was not able to be a Luna the pack could rely on… Instead… I became the cause of all


    this mess. ”


    In the end, I hugged Carrie once more and started to go on my way.


    In the gentle morning light, while the other pack members were yet to go around the pack, I headed to


    the forest without even taking anything with me.


    As I reached the entrance of the pack, I saw Arthur’s lethargic and troubled figure seemingly waiting for


    me to go.


    “Chloe…” He called out, but just like Carrie, he too looked as conflicted as her.


    “Have you really made up your mind?” He asked worriedly.


    “There is no other way… I am sure that deep down you also saw how far ke has fallen just because


    of me…” I answered straightforwardly.


    “That’s not true…” Arthur refuted but he could not find the right words to back up his im, and so I


    shook my head and gestured that I would continue to headout.


    “I’ll apany you out… I cannot leave you with that condition!” Arthur blocked my way and was


    determined to join me in my exile.


    “No need, besides Carrie, and the pack needs you… my departure will be futile if you would also


    disappear. The pack needs everyone but me this time…” I answered.


    “Besides, I n to head back to the Red moon pack anyway. In the end that’s the only ce I can call


    home next to the Silver pack…” Before he could think of another way to refute, I convinced Arthur by


    mentioning the Red Moon pack.


    In the end, he could only follow my wish and I finally headed towards the forest outside the pack’s


    territory.


    “Before you go… take this…” He handed a bag to me and started to exin that these are some basic


    necessities for me to go on my way.


    He also took some of the recovery tonic and medicine for my condition and my words that I could take

    along the way.


    Threading through the forest was quite peaceful, because ording to Arthur, while I was


    unconscious, he and the other betas swept the territory clean of the lurking enemies.


    He gave me the safest route out so that I could also safely get out of the territory without bumping into


    the roaming enemies once more.


    Once I was sure I was really out of the territory and that Arthur did not attempt to follow me, I decided


    that the direction I would be heading into was the opposite direction of the Red Moon pack.


    In reality, I have no ns nor any ce in mind to go to. Besides, if I chose to go to the Red Moon


    Pack, ke might evene there after sometime and cause a scene to coax me froming back.


    After some time, I felt my body screaming for rest.


    Deciding to finally take a stop, I drew my attention to the bag given by Arthur earlier and I realized that


    it contained the medicine and tonics that were all surprisingly appropriate for my condition.


    However, there is one bottle kept securely separate from all the tonics.


    When I inspected it, I found that it was a fast acting poison and along with it was the antidote. There is


    a note inside which had a few words from a familiar handwriting, from Teacher Astor.


    “Use it when in danger… I hope that you find your way back here… your real and fated home…”


    ‘My real and fated home?’ I let out a heavy sigh and smiled dejectedly. At this moment, I cannot see


    any possibility of me going back to the Silver Pack.


    There is no reason for me toe back. They were all gone.


    After having a good rest, I also started searching through the forest of herbs I needed to increase my


    means of self-defense as I got an inspiration for the parting gift given by Teacher Astor.


    After all, I am just a wolfless woman, who suffered a miscarriage, a few minor injuries and had gone


    without anything but the things handed over by Arthur.


    I wandered through the forest and took advantage of the day light to forage for the things I needed.


    “This might be enough…” Picking thest herb needed to create the type of poison I had in mind.


    I looked at the orange sky and realized that it would be dark soon. With a frown on my face, I moved


    quickly to the ce where I spotted earlier that is safe for me to spend the night with.


    There’s a nearby water source in the area as well so I thought it was fine.


    In no time, I was able to arrive in that area and heaved a sigh of relief.


    The area had a small stream flowing with clear water, and had several trees with lush canopies and


    thick trunk, all of which were perfect for me to climb and hide to sleep.


    Choosing the tree that is easiest to climb, I decided to start preparing for the night. Arthur’s bag


    contained some dry rations and because it would be dark in no time, I could no longer hunt for dinner.


    But before I could even start moving, I felt a sudden presence approaching me fast.


    Moving quickly, I took the dagger from the bag and shouted in warning, “Who’s there?!”
