Chapter 166
Chloe
It felt like the first time we met.
It''s as if I''ve been transported back to the very moment we first crossed paths. If only my childhood hadn''t been tainted by that
dreadful poisoning, which left my dear wolf, Aurora, so gravely ill that | lost the ability to shift.
This is the sensation I''ve longed for, the one | would have experienced had | grown up free of that affliction and met ke in my
true form.
Our wolves, Eron and Aurora, would have instantly recognized one another... their souls intertwining as if the Moon Goddess
herself ordained it.
Throughout the night, we ran side by side... there were no words needed to be said, both our hearts were soaring, and our souls
felt whole.
For the first time in my life, | feltplete.
Thus, even though my countenance remained stoic and | did not show it in my face, a profound longing swept over me as |
glimpsed the first rays of dawn.
“Morning hase," | softly muttered and couldn''t help but release a sigh. | ascended a hill and, with my heart feeling heavy,
shifted back to my human form.
ke did not say a word and followed suit. Standing quite far frome, he offered me the privacy to don my clothes. Once we were
both decent, we stood there, locked in a silent gaze, neither of us needing words to convey what we felt.
| did not want to admit it but in my heart, | was reluctant to let him go. After a while, | heard ke call my name. "Chloe... Tonigh-
-""CHLOE....!" ke''s sentence was interrupted by Vanessa who was loudly calling out my name. ke and | were startled.
"|... [should probably go before Vanessa sees us," | stammered, breaking the heavy, awkward silence that had enveloped us.
ke''s eyes, like pools of unspoken emotions, remained locked onto mine. It seemed as though he held a multitude of words
within him, words that he chose to keep buried beneath the weight of unspoken sentiments. Instead, his gaze softened, and he
tenderly extended a hand, his fingertips grazing the delicate strands of my hair.
"Alright," he whispered, leaning closer until his lips brushed gently against the tips of my hair, leaving a sweet, lingering kiss.
Before | could fully process the intensity of that moment, ke had vanished into the shadows, leaving me alone, my heart
aching with a bittersweet longing.
"Chloe!!!" Vanessa''s voice, filled with both relief and concern, echoed through the quiet hilltop. She approached me swiftly, her
eyes scanning the area frantically.
“Hey! There you are!" Her breathless words tumbled out as she ran towards me, her voice betraying traces of anxiety.
Ever since the tragedy that befell the Red Moon Pack, Vanessa had been grappling with her own inner demons, particrly
when it came to me. Whenever | deviated from my usual routine, she spiraled into a panic, fearing the worst.
"I''m right here, Vanessa. No need to worry," | assured her, my voice a soothing balm to her anxiety.
"Y-yeah..." She mumbled, her initial fear giving way to relief as she scurried to my side. "Well, it''s not like | was actually worried
or anything..." She attempted to deny her concern, earning a soft chuckle from me.
“Anyway,” she continued, "What are you doing here? You left with --- | mean, Alpha Sabrest night. And why is your face so
flushed?" Her eyes widened with curiosity, her voice growing increasingly suspicious as she eyed the creases in my clothes. My
face blushed crimson as | yfully smacked her on the head.
"What are you insinuating?" | hurriedly denied, my tone light as | deflected her prying questions. ke and | agreed to keep
things a secret, so there is no need for Vanessa to know that | have been with him the entire night.
Besides... it was not like we did anything suspicious... my mind reverted to that memory of his kiss. | shook my head slightly
before saying,
“Anyway... Why were you looking for me? It''s still so early." | skillfully changed the subject before ncing at the horizon, where
the first rays of dawn were beginning to break through the darkness.
"Oh, it''s because of Caleb," Vanessa suddenly recalled the reason for her frantic search. Her words hung in the air, heavy with a
sense of impending dread. "He mentioned something about that quiet, nerdy student of yours..."
"Esha?" The moment Vanessa uttered her name, my heart clenched with worry.
Esha, the timid student | had been
mentoring in the ways of healing.
Just a few days ago, | is senthek to

chaos that ensued when ke

“What happened to her?" | pressed, my voice trembling with anxiety. Vanessa hesitated, her expression a mix of confusion and
concern.
"Well," she began slowly, "| don''t have

As | reached the clinic, the sight

| stepped inside, and my heart sank further. The clinic was in disarray, but that was not the worst of it. A confrontation was
unfolding, and the words that cut through the tension were sharp and hostile. "How dare youe to this clinic! Thief!"
Esha, my shy, timid student, was tightly holding a scalpel in her hand as she aggressively pointed it towards Arthur who was
staring at her with shock.
"Don''t you dare move an inch...otherwise I-I''ll... stab you with the biggest needle in this clinic!!!" Esha added while swinging an
injection on her other hand.
