“D-destroyed by the L-lycan King?” I mumbled with my heart skipping a beat.
Here sitting beside me was a person that was a victim of Blake’s drastic decision.
“Yes… he did…” There was a flash of coldness in his gray eyes as he answered.
The veins on his hand appeared as he tightened the grip on his skewered rabbit meat. “When I came back to our territory for a mission, all I saw were ruins and corpses…”
“I went around and found that the Silver Pack was invading enemy packs during this time, and I knew… they did it to my pack!”
The silence between us became heavier as I felt the strong sense of guilt in my heart. I cannot look at Caleb’s face anymore, afraid that he would find my uneasiness suspicious.
“I-i see…” I uttered, trying to sound as normal as possible, “Then where are you heading to?”
Caleb looked at the stars in the sky and replied with loneliness in his heart, “Searching for survivors… when I buried the corpses there were some people missing… so they might have escaped..”
Sighing with a heavy heart I replied, “Let’s hope for the best…”
“Hmm…” Caleb looked down at the fire in front of us and hummed.
After some silence once more, I stood up and told him that I retired for the night.
Caleb also stood and extinguished the fire with ashes. Instantly the surroundings became darker, with only the faint moonlight lighting our way.
As I headed up to the tree where I would be resting, I heard Caleb’s voice behind me as he said slowly, “There is a forest north from here… with vast rare herbs none of us could identify…”
My hand paused midair as I looked at Caleb back, “Rare herbs?”
I uttered with anticipation. In my mind, the worry of Aurora being poisoned weighs me down. And so even a little hope like this would effectively spike my passion to go and find a way to detoxify the poison.
“En… I am heading in that direction as well, because that place is dangerous… suitable for desperate people looking for a place to hide.” Caleb looked at me with a certain meaning in his eyes.
He is suggesting for us to travel together as we might both head into the same destination.
“I-i…” Although his idea actually made sense, hesitation and guilt filled my heart as I remember his enmity towards Blake and the Silver Pack.
What if he discovered that I was once Blake’s Luna and that the trigger of his killing spree was actually me?
This might be a time ticking bomb.
“You can think about it until the morning…” Caleb sensed my struggle and commented before he immediately turned to climb on his own tree.
The night ended just like that, but I was filled with thoughts about the forest in the north.
But the fear in my heart towards Caleb’s possible reaction is a matter I could not ignore. With the way he carried himself alone in the forest after the tragedy that happened to him, I knew that once he showed his hostility toward me, I would have no way to defend myself against him?
‘What if I really found the cure in that place?’ I pondered, weighing if the danger is worth taking at this moment.
The morning had already arrived; however, I have not yet come to a decision.
In the end, Caleb looked at me and said, “It’s up to you to believe but I do not care about your past and that I wish you no harm. Right now, you are just someone I want to help…”
I paused looking at his calm eyes. His countenance was still cold and vigilant, but there was no hint of treachery on his expression.
After pondering for some time, I finally nodded and agreed.
