Selene

I felt a hand suddenly tighten around my waist.

My body twitched slightly in surprise, and confusion flickered across my face as the warmth of someone’s arm wrapped firmly around me. Instinctively, I tried to lean back a little to create some distance, but the arm around my waist tightened even more, holding me in place as if the person beside me had absolutely no intention of letting me move away.

Under normal circumstances, the moment I felt someone standing so close to me while I was vulnerable, I would have already been on full alert. My body would have reacted instantly, and whoever dared to touch me without warning would have been thrown across the room before they could even realize what happened.

But this time, I did not react that way. Because deep down, I already knew there could only be one person beside me.

Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked down.

A pair of beautiful eyes were staring up at me, shining softly with a faint twinkle.

Chloe.

Her face was still a little pale, but it was far better than the lifeless color she had last night. The trembling that had once wracked her body was gone, and her breathing was steady as she lay beside me.

Seeing that, I let out a quiet breath of relief that I did not even realize I had been holding.

Last night was exhausting.

I had spent the entire night trying to repair Chloe’s shattered core, and the process had been far more difficult than I initially thought it would be. Healing a damaged core required an enormous amount of spiritual power, and I had poured nearly all of mine into her in order to stabilize the damage.

At some point during the process, sweat had begun to drip down my face and neck even though the night air blowing through the window had been cool and refreshing. My entire body had been drenched, and a heavy dizziness had begun creeping into my mind as my energy drained faster than I anticipated.

Even then, I did not allow myself to collapse.

Chloe’s core had still been unstable, and if I lost consciousness before sealing it properly, everything I had done would have been meaningless.

In the end, Mira lent me a portion of her spiritual energy to keep me awake. Without her help, I probably would have fainted before completing the final stage of the healing

Once I finally finished repairing Chloe’s core and sealed the remaining cracks within it, my body simply could not endure anymore. My vision blurred, and I could barely keep my eyes open.

The next thing I remembered was falling asleep beside her on the bed.

I must have been far weaker than I realized, because I did not even notice when Chloe woke up. Norinally I was an extremely light sleeper, and the slightest movement would wake me immediately, but last night my body has clearly reached its absolute limit.

Now she was awake.

Chloe looked up at me quietly, her cheeks slightly rosy.

‘N-Noah…” she said softly.

Hearing my name in her voice made me smile without thinking. I lifted my hand and placed it gently on top of her head before checking her temperature with the back of my fingers.

Your temperature is normal,” I said. “You are better now. I was worried about you.”

Chloe’s eyes brightened the moment she heard that. She bit her lower lip nervously before speaking again.

You saved me,” she said quietly.

I gave a small nod.

‘You spent all your magical core on me,” she continued, her voice trembling slightly.

I nodded again.

Chloe’s gaze lingered on my face, and she asked softly, “Why?”
