The Third Time

[Anton's P.O.V.]

Ellie's body was going through a different kind of suffering and I hadn't noticed at all. I knew she had been growing haggard and thin but I simply thought it was due to being overworked. But whatever was truly affecting her was making her physical fitness get worse, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Dr. Darren was the most excellent doctor in the city. If even he couldn't detect the disease, then there might be no way.

But I was not willing to give up. I had met Ellie for less than half a year and had yet to mark her. I hadn't made her my Luna yet so I was definitely not willing to lose her again. I had to find a way to cure her.
