Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 135

Chloe's POV

Our refuge, concealed within the verdant expanse of Dalrion's lush forest in the northern suburb, became our sanctuary for the next five years. As we grappled with the remnants of our once-thriving Red Moon Pack, our paramount objective was clear – to avenge our fallen kin and reclaim our lost territory.

Since my father, the former alpha, passed away, we, the remaining members of the pack, came together, resolute and unwavering in our determination to achieve our common purpose. With the forest's dense canopy offering us the protection we needed, we tirelessly trained and persevered in our mission to rebuild our shattered pack.

Drawing upon our expertise in poison-making, we skillfully concocted a myriad of medications and potent poisons. These elixirs not only enhanced our speed and strength but also fortified our resolve to emerge victorious. Throughout the grueling struggles and sacrifices we endured, we transformed ourselves, growing stronger with every trial and tribulation we faced.

As the years passed, thankfully, our tenacity bore fruit, as we forged a formidable unit of highly trained and powerful individuals. This elite group surpassed expectations, able to challenge even the mightiest armies of rival packs.

United by a shared purpose and bolstered by our newfound strength, we were prepared to confront any adversary standing in the way of our goal. No matter what, we were clear of our objective to avenge our members who were brutally murdered and retake our land that was forcefully taken from us by the Alliance led by the BloodHound Pack.

I meticulously surveyed the area, my eyes carefully scrutinizing every nook and cranny of our hiding place. "Before I set out to find you, I already made sure there were no enemies tailing us. You can rest assured, everything is secure," Caleb reassured me with a carefree grin, which momentarily took me by surprise before I chuckled.

"I only glanced around. How on earth did you know what I was thinking?" I asked in amazement.

"I am your aide, the one who has stood by your side throughout these years. Should it be so shocking that I understand your thoughts?" Caleb replied, maintaining his smile. Indeed, over the past five years, Caleb had remained steadfast by my side, assisting me in harnessing the power of Aurora and helping me rebuild the remnants of the Red Moon Pack. He had been there through every challenge, making himself indispensable to me.

With that realization, I stopped walking and turned to face Caleb, my expression serious. "You know, I still can't comprehend," I began.

Caleb halted as well, raising an intrigued eyebrow. "Understand what?" he asked.

"Five years ago, when I rushed to the Red Moon Pack to save Vanessa and the others, you abandoned your own plans and came to my rescue," I explained.

Caleb playfully smirked, acknowledging the truth of my statement.

"At that point, I could understand it. After all, if our roles were reversed, I believe I would have done the same," I admitted.

"What I can't fathom is your reason for staying. Not only did you save me, but you also helped us find this hidden refuge and established a base. You dedicated yourself to assisting us in rebuilding our forces. I know you still search for survivors from your own pack, but for the past five years, the majority of your time and effort has been devoted to helping us get back on our feet," I said, my voice softening.

"Without you, the process of starting anew would have been much more arduous. Caleb, I can't express enough how grateful I am to you."

“I needed you, so I selfishly received your assistance and protection. I didn’t really ask. Caleb, I want to know what your reason is for helping us,” I asked him with earnest eyes.
