LOGINA quick and easy trip. That's all the peace treaty mission was supposed to be. Sebastian knew better than to think it would go easily, not with his best friend at the helm of the mission. And for the first time in Sebastian's life, he is finding himself at odds with the man he is there to protect. And the main reason? The insanely pretty little thief who he is struggling to keep his eyes off of. Even if he has convinced himself it's because he doesn't trust her. Wren has spent her life searching for a way to free her mother from Alpha Alden's slavery and she finally has the answer— War. When a neighboring pack comes looking for peace Wren finds the opportunity to finally start the war she has been searching for. What she didn't expect to find was an attractive Alpha's son and his silent brooding muscle man who won't take his eyes off of her. And she isn't all that sure she wants him to… Plans go awry and mistakes are made but can love really conquer all, or is it merely a weapon to be used against them?
View Moreその日は1日、雪が降りしきるそんな日だった。
夜も更け寒さも厳しさを増す中、少年が1人空を眺めながら佇んでいる。
しかし少年の周りは寒さを感じず、寧ろ燃えるような熱さに包まれていた。 それもそのはず、少年の周りは火の海で囲まれているのだから。 周りはかつて建物があったであろう瓦礫が散乱し、更にその中には、かつて|人《・》|で《・》|あ《・》|っ《・》|た《・》モノすらも……まるでこの惨劇を生み出したかの様に夜空を見上げる少年。
それもその筈まだ10歳になったばかりのこの少年こそが、この破壊の元凶なのだから。これはそれだけの事を行った|大人達《ヤツら》に対する、復讐だった。
当然の報いだろうと少年は思う。
なにせ彼等は少年の家族を傷付けたのだ。 親にも捨てられ行き場所の無かった自分を、血の繋がりは無くとも家族として迎え入れてくれたあの子達を、あろう事かモルモットとしてしか考えていなかったのだから。だから少年は懇願したのだ。
自分があの子達の代わりに全てを受け入れる。
だからあの子達に手は出さないでくれ……
と。しかしそんな子供の戯言に誰が耳を貸すだろうか。
表向きは安心させる様な事を言いながら、裏では結局変わらず彼等は……そんな彼らが嫌いだった……
家族が傷付くのに耐えられなかった……
優しい家族が1人、また1人と減っていくのが許せなかった……
何より、そんな状況なのに何も出来ない自分が何より許せなくて……
だから少年は今日この日、家族を守る為全てを|殺し《こわし》たのだ。
と、その時微かに自分を呼ぶ声が聞こえて、少年は周りを見渡す。
すると遠くに避難させたはずの家族が、こちらに向かって走ってきているのが見えた。 どうやら避難した先で自分が居ない事に気付きここに戻って来たのだろう。 その事実に嬉しくなりやはりこれで良かったのだと、少し安堵する少年。その時今度は|自《・》|分《・》|の《・》|中《・》|か《・》|ら《・》声が聴こえた。
「契約は完了した。これで君は何を成す?」 まるで嘲笑うかの様に、試す様に、それでいて少し|悲《・》|し《・》|む《・》|様《・》|に《・》…… そのどれでもあり、そのどれでも無い様に感じられる声が、そう問い掛けてくる。そうだ、自分はこの地獄を終わらせたくて……
皆を守りたくて……
だから契約したのだ、|彼《・》と。
契約が完了した今なら分かる。
何故彼がこんな問いをしてくるのかを……何せ今は|彼《・》|は《・》|自《・》|分《・》|で《・》|あ《・》|り《・》、|自《・》|分《・》|は《・》|彼《・》|な《・》|の《・》|だ《・》|か《・》|ら《・》。
なのでこの質問にも意味は無い。
でも改めてこの想いが揺らがない様に……
この決意が鈍らない様に……
家族の元に向かいながら呟いた少年のその応えは、夜雪と共に儚く消えるのだった。

“Leo,” I breathe. “Where are–”“Addy and Grandma are safe. I can’t leave you, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad, but I can’t let anyone hurt you, Mom.” I’m sobbing as I want to reach out and try to grab and shelter my poor sweet boy who has grown into such a sweet little man. At freshly twelve he has been training for the past two years so he can be strong enough to protect himself. We should have known he was doing it to protect us. One day, he will make the best alpha of this pack.A lanky man steps into the doorway and Leo shifts his weight to his back foot, preparing for battle. My heart is in my throat as I watch the man lunge with a growl toward my son. I fell off the bed, trying to protect him. Leo is so graceful in his movements as he glides out of the way and drags a dagger along the man’s back. As long as the man doesn’t shift into a wolf, Leo might be able to hold his own. His cut isn’t deep, but it’s a strike that makes the man bleed. He growls in annoyance and then chuckles as he
*** THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER***~Wren~“You really should sit down,” Jade says, following me as I pace the carpet, my dress flowing around behind me. Seb has been gone for three days, and those three days have been atrocious. He is further than the mate bond can extend, so my mind has been hollow and lonely. It also doesn’t help that my hormones are raging and my mate is fighting in a battle on the other side of Nickolai’s pack.“No” I shake my head. “No,” I repeat, more sternly, tears welling in my eyes. I groan in frustration at the stupid tears that seem to come unbidden all the damn time lately. “Luna, you will walk yourself into labor before Alpha can get his ass back here,” Jade says, rubbing my back and giving me a sympathetic look.I want to slap the sympathy off her face. The person who should rub my back is my mate. He should be here next to me as I try to make this baby come. But no. He has to be a hands-on alpha and lead his troops himself. I used to think it was sex
The musty, cool air of the dungeons clings to me as we come up to the prisoners we captured weeks ago. Half the men are anxiously waiting at the bars while the rest lean on the walls or stare out the bar window. Most of the men are on the younger side, a few even looking closer to Nickolai’s young age of eighteen. When they notice me coming in with Tank, they all straighten up and glance at each other nervously. These ten men are not the only prisoners we collected that night. In fact, they are only a small portion of the number of warriors we were able to round up. I don’t think killing the others would be wise, but letting them go is not an option, so instead, we house them here providing the essentials to survive without having an entertaining life. “Alpha,” they greet me in unison, as though they have been rehearsing for days. I shoot a look at Tank, who is trying not to laugh. “I hear you all wished to speak with me. Spit it out so I can move along to other important matters.”
~Sebastian~“How is she?” Nickolai asks through the receiver. I pinch the bridge of my nose, remembering Wren’s beautiful speech and the tears that wet her cheeks. There is no way to erase the hurt in her eyes and the ache that she feels so keenly at her father’s death, but she had been perfect, stunning, so perfectly Wren. “As good as can be expected.” I sigh.“Good. I’m sorry I missed it.” I can hear the disappointment in his voice, but we all understand that he has duties to tend to. “When is your ceremony?” I ask him.“Two days.”We sit in silence for a minute, each of us waiting for the other to speak first. I know Nickolai hates I can’t be there for his Alpha ceremony. And it’s not that we don’t want to be there, it’s just that the timing simply doesn’t work for me and Wren. Or anyone in the werewolf community, since there is a war that is resulting in higher death tolls daily. Especially in our allies’ packs lately. “Look, I know you wanted us to be there…”“I get it, Seb.
“Things have been tense for the past few weeks. Your lives have been turned upside down, you have a new Alpha and Luna and we are in a war to defend what we know is right. But today isn’t about any of that. Today, we are all the same. We are a pack mourning our losses and the people we loved.” He looks down at me and I know he wants me to take over. “For as long as I can remember, life in this pack was full of tension and fear. It always felt like we were living half a life. The men and women on this memorial fought and died for what they believed in. They fought for their loved ones and for you and me. I’m not sure how many of you remember my dad, who he was, and what happened to him after they took my mother from his side, from me.” My eyes look over at my mother, who is watching me closely. “He died saving me,” I say, taking a deep breath. “Like so many others, he was sick most of my life. Constantly trying to be the only parent and provider while being denied the ability to work
