Chapter 47
Chapter 47
“Chloe...” Blake's voice was very gentle, and his approaching face made me close my eyes
unconsciously.
I can feel Blake's breath getting closer, being extremely close to each other made my heart thump
wildly.
But the next second, what I expected didn't happen.
‘Knock knock knock...’
A Knock on the door awoke me from my thoughts.
It was a dream.
“Luna… I am here to inform you that Sir Astor is waiting for you to train..” The voice of a servant rang
behind the door. She brought me the news with a hint of respect in her tone.
“Urgh… Is it daytime?” I mumbled in shock as I realized that the sun was already shining brightly.
I frowned, wondering how I ended up in the room. I vaguely remembered having to come to Blake’s
room, but it turns out, I stayed in bed all along.
‘What a weird dream…’ I feel my cheeks heat up as I vividly remember everything from the strange
dream.
‘Ah… such impure thoughts..’ I shook my head trying to brush away the images in my head but to no
avail.
The servant was still waiting for my answer.
However, her next words were filled with worry and sympathy, “Also… Sir Astor asked me to say that
you are already late…”
I sat up abruptly under the feeling of being doused with a pail of cold water.
I looked at the clock and realized that the time was already ten minutes late.
“Oh no!” I shouted in panic as I hurriedly dressed non-stop and rushed out of the room.
‘This can’t be!’
‘To think that I will be late on my first day of training with Astor!’
The back of my head felt numb at the thought of him torturing me for the punishment for being late.
I ran to the training ground as fast as I could. As I looked at a distance, Astor was already standing
there waiting for me.
‘It’s over! I am finished!’ my heart sank seeing that he was looking at my direction with his arms
crossed and his eyes cold and sharp.
Still, I ran, not wasting any second to avoid incurring more wrath from my new teacher. In the end I
almost fell on the ground.
“T-teacher, I am sorry for being late… I..” As soon as I stood in front of Astor, I immediately opened my
mouth to apologize trying to find the most appropriate words to say at the moment.
However I was stopped by Astor’s serious look, seemingly not wanting to waste time at all.
“Start!” His cold tone rang in my ears as I stared at him cautiously and watched him stand in the middle
of the training ground.
Just one word was enough to see how strict he was. Even with the use of words, he could not be
bothered to waste time at all.
In the end I could only follow his arrangement like a lamb being led to the slaughterhouse.
Astor’s eyes then landed on a Beta watching on the side. His eyes flickered and somehow the Beta
seemed to have understood and went to the center of the training spot where we stood.
Then he looked at me with his ever piercing glare, making my shoulder jolt stiffly.
“Fight!” A word came out of his mouth then he immediately retreated in a distance as if he intended to
watch after saying his piece.
“Eh?” I blinked in shock, but I was not given time to react as the Beta had already saluted me and
assumed his fighting stance.
Without even an explanation, I already found myself sparring fiercely with the Beta who was relatively
the weakest amongst his ranks.
Even so , I still could not do anything to him at all.
One after the other, his punches and attacks landed on my body. Not having any experience in fighting,
I relied on my instincts after being tortured in pain for years.
Even so, it was really painful to be beaten like this, and so I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist.
Slowly, I tried to fight back, but unfortunately my punches and attacks could not even connect to my
opponent, leaving me helpless.
In the end, I stumbled on the ground, with my aching body all over.
Then the beta saluted once more signaling that the sparring stopped and looked at me worriedly. In the
end he did not say anything and stepped out of the training ground once again.
“Ouch…” I tried to stand up but the pain in my body made me feel almost dizzy.
Suddenly a tall shadow loomed over me and looked at me without any ounce of sympathy.
He looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, so intimidating that I even held my breath.
“Weak core!” He uttered.
In the next moment, I found myself eating the dust as I was told to do the plank crawl exercise.
Feeling my body trembling all over and my abs and upper thighs hurting, I did not dare to lower my hip
at any moment as it would be even more painful.
The Moon Goddess knew how much I crawled back and forth the training ground in the plank position,
yet Astor still did not show any signs of letting me stop.
In the end, my body could no longer hold it and my elbow let go and collapsed.
“It hurt so much…” I winced in pain, no longer minding that I was lying on the cold ground at the
moment. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
‘This is too much…’ I thought to myself, thinking that this would be the agony that I will be in in the next
few weeks.
‘If this continues, my body might not even survive before Blake returns!’
Panic suddenly rose in my heart at the thought. In the end, I scrambled to get up and approach Astor.
With a pleading tone, I lowered my head and slowly asked him, “T-teacher… I want to ask… i-if you
could slow down the training… As you know… my wolf cannot wake up at will so I could only rely on
my strength. Even so… I am still far from being able to fight with someone.”
In order to even convince him, I showed my injuries from the previous two training sessions and even
wore a painful expression.
Unfortunately, he only frowned and looked at me fiercely, not believing anything I said. What’s more, his
glare intensified, so much that I could only shudder and cower in fear.
At that moment, I knew hat Astor had no intention of holding back the intensity of the training for the
sake of my condition, and so in the end I decided to try once again.
“Erm… Teacher it is getting dark, could today's training be temporarily over? After all, this is the first
day of my training, and there is still a long time to train…”
I looked at him expectantly, but just like before, he remained unmoved and did not even open his
mouth to speak.
In the end I could only lower my head dejectedly and said, never mind.
However, just as I was about to speak, I heard the longest sentence Astor said for the entire day.
With a straight face he asked me, “What we need here is a powerful Luna. How long do you think the
Silver pack could wait for you?”
