LOGINHeartbroken by her boyfriend’s betrayal, Evelyn Campbell was forced to sell her virginity to pay for her father’s medical bills, which led to an unplanned pregnancy. Five years later, the quest to provide for her son, Eddie, brought her back to her ex-boss, President Zuriel Scott, whose werewolf identity was concealed from the whole world. Her job of acting as President’s fake girlfriend was a trap, and she stepped into this silk web of supernatural world for only one thing, “I want to live with you, mommy.” The issue of his unknown paternity was destroying Eddie’s life. So, Evelyn trusted Zuriel as a father for her son’s future, who promised a lifelong companionship through mate-bond. But how did she get involved in the revenge story of bloodthirsty Alpha Zuriel? And what about that stranger from one-night stand, who came back to claim his right to his son? Hatred, revenge, betrayal: an emotional tale where love conquers all…
View More幸せなんてものはこの世にはない。あるのは残酷な現実だけ。それを知ったのは高校の卒業パーティだった──……
*** 朝倉遥乃には、付き合いたての彼がいた。その人の名は、藤原奏。 目鼻立ちの整った顔に豪門の御曹司。更には学力、運動共に学年トップで文武両道。まさに御伽噺の絵本から飛び出した王子様のような人。 それに比べ遥乃は、ふくよかな体系でお世辞にもお似合いというカップルではなかった。遥乃自身もそれは重々承知している。 それでも自分の気持ちに嘘は付けず、ことある事に奏に自分の存在をアピールし、如何に奏のことを想っているかを伝え続けた。 最初の内は冷たくあしらっていた奏も、日が経つにつれ笑顔を浮かべるようになっていた。 その結果── 「いいよ」 何度目かの告白で想いが届き、付き合う事が出来た。 周りからは批判や嫉妬、嫌がらせなどもあったが、交際は順調だった。奏が傍に居て、笑いかけてくれる。そんな毎日が幸せだった。 そして18歳の誕生日、私は奏の家に呼ばれた。 「誕生日おめでとう」 「ありがとう」 手渡されたのは、小さな箱に入ったネックレス。ハートのモチーフに小さなアメジストがはめられている。 「貸して。付けてあげる」 「え」 奏の手が首に触れる度に心臓が飛び跳ねる。心臓の音が耳について煩い。 カチッ 金具の留まった音が聞こえ「出来たよ」そう耳元で囁かれた。 「ありがとう……」 真っ赤に染まった顔を見られるのが恥ずかしくて、顔を俯かせながらお礼を口にする。 大事そうに手の中に包み、何度も何度も見直しては嬉しそうに微笑んでいる遥乃の姿に奏は、クスッと微笑むと背後から強く抱き締めた。 「か、奏君!?」 驚いた遥乃が後ろを振り向くと「チュッ」と軽く唇が触れた。 「ッ!!」 遥乃は思わず飛び上がりそうになったが、奏がそれを許してくれない。 「ダメ、逃げないで」 頬、耳、首筋と順番に柔らかな唇が触れる。 「遥乃…」 名を呼ぶ彼の瞳はいつになく真剣で、熱を帯びた表情が艶っぽく目が離せない。 どちらともなく顔を近づけ、深いキスを交わしていた。 荒い息遣いとお互いの熱が絡み合う音だけが部屋に響く。初めて感じる快楽と幸福感に遥乃は身を委ね、ただ酔いしれていた。 身も心も奏のものになった遥乃は、毎日が幸せだった。だが、そんな彼女にも不安はある。 (明日は卒業式……) 共に進学するが、大学は別々。今まで学校へ行けば会えていたのに、それが出来なくなる。会えない寂しさと傍に居られない不安に押し潰されそうになる。 そんな時は、胸元にあるネックレスを眺めて気を落ち着かせている。 「大丈夫よ」 あの日、何度も何度も「好きだ」と口にしながら抱いてくれたんだもの。きっと大丈夫。そう、思っていた…… *** 「遥乃?冗談じゃない。あんなの遊びだよ。俺が本気になると思うか?」 次の日、無事に卒業式を終えた遥乃は、卒業パティーが開かれる会場へと来ていた。 忘れ物を取りに戻っていた遥乃が着いた頃には、既に賑やかな声が扉の外まで聞こえていた。自分も早く入ろうと手を伸ばしたが、愛する人の言葉に手が止まった。 「あはは!だよなぁ!だって、相手があの朝倉だぜ?俺は金積まれても無理だわ」 「本当よ!いくら遊びでも、奏くんの品が疑われるわよ?」 「ごめんごめん」 遥乃の耳に入ってくるのは、だらしのない体型を馬鹿にしたり、控えめで卑屈な性格を嘲笑う声…… 唯一の味方だと思っていた奏までもが、一緒になって嘲笑い馬鹿にしている。 優しい瞳で甘い言葉を囁いてくれたのも、身体を重ねて愛し合ったのも全部嘘だったって事? 手が震えて視界が涙で滲んでくる。 耐えられなくなった遥乃は会場に入らず、その場から立ち去った。 怒り、悲しみ、絶望……色んな感情が一気に襲いかかってくる。 「はぁ…はぁ…はぁ…ははっ……」 家に戻り、自分の部屋に鍵をかると、力なくその場にしゃがみこんだ。 『遊びだよ』 奏の言葉が呪いのように耳について離れない。チャリと胸元でネックレスが揺れる。 「~~~ッ!」 怒りのままに引きちぎろうと手を伸ばしたが、出来なかった……我ながら往生際が悪いとは思ってる。 初めての恋、初めての彼、初めての…… 舞い上がっていたのは私だけだった。彼の中で、私の存在は単なる暇つぶしの玩具に過ぎなかった。 「……馬鹿みたい……」 自嘲しながら呟いた。 これ以上惨めな思いはしたくない遥乃は、奏の連絡先を全て消し、彼の前から姿を消した。別れも告げず、一方的な別れだった。 遥乃は、自分の事を知る者のいない土地を目指し、国外へと旅立った。 この時、遥乃のお腹には小さな命が宿っていたが、彼女は誰にも伝えず、人知れずひっそりと子供を産んだ。 ──7年後、遥乃は朝倉遥乃と言う名を捨て、高瀬柚と名乗り、故郷の国へと戻ってきた。Evelyn’s P.O.V.Three months later…“I, huntress Evelyn Campbell, accept you, Alpha Zuriel Scott as my soulmate!”These words completely changed the direction of my life that night, and clarified all the haze of uncertainty. My dad had informed me about his decision through a link. I was glad that Zuriel was able to secure a place in his heart.My marking also replied Walter, who left his mission and came to Zellburry pack for rescue. I couldn’t see in his eyes due to baseless guilt, and he also left the Hunter’s pack with Bex for good.Right after lady Stella’s arrest, Zuriel left all responsibilities for dad and Aaron, and booked a three months’ vacation for us. At first, I was perplexed by the idea of leaving everything behind for an outing, but the vigor of my first heat explained his hastiness. Thanks to Ivy's presence, I was able to manage my time with Eddie; otherwise, ignoring my own son for carnal desires would be disastrous. Yes, sex.With that mark of my ring carved on his
Zuriel’s P.O.V.Lady Stella’s words came out in utter disbelief, she literally lost her mind when Evelyn raised her hand.“Are you talking about this ring?”She chuckled, her blazing eyes were shooting daggers at that criminal. “You think that I am a stupid to wear my original ring in this pack? Obviously not. I was warned to take care of my possession.Now, I am happy that a fake copy has fooled a brainless woman like you.”I stepped out of the cage, and stretched my muscles, Aaron’s cold figure crushed me into a hug.“Wolfie!”He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pointed.“Look there!”My pack mates were finally free, they knelt down and bared their necks in submission. “Only you are our Alpha, Alpha Zuriel Scott!”I noted it in my mind to order a psych consult for my pack mates after dealing with this hornet’s nest, as the only mentally questionable people could choose an Alpha like me. Now my heart was at ease to see the enemy’s warriors arrested by the Hunters, while so
Zuriel’s P.O.V.My heart was thundering against my rib cage while anticipating the worst possible outcome, but the silence followed by my Alpha command baffled me. Bruce, my only close friend in the business circle, puffed his chest with pride and said,“Don’t think about some rescue from your huntress soulmate, Zuriel.Mom took care of her beforehand.”Lady Stella, booming with delight of his son’s epic performance, smiled brightly, as if she had conquered the whole world. She opened her clutch, showed me Evelyn’s silver ring, and then wore it to flex her fake authority.“I knew that you would try to threaten me with Evelyn’s power. That’s why my daughter Ivy has poisoned her.We couldn’t arrange a fitting poison to kill her quickly, so she has some hours left before a final goodbye.”The harshness of her tone pierced through my soul. The anger took the place of helplessness to drive me crazy as soon as the shock dissipated.“You have assassinated your brothers without getting suspe
Zuriel’s P.O.V.My eyes wandered from one corner of a street to another, the absence of the blood inside the pack was a sign of relief. It could only mean that the intruders hadn’t started massive killing. So this gathering must be a formal ceremony for introduction. I removed my coat and undid the buttons for any one-on-one combat. That was my pack, and it was my responsibility to protect it. The idea of failure was already dampening my soul. “They must be rogues, Zuriel! Sneaky bastards!”Zev’s reminder hinted towards Gamma Jason’s reports, a part of my soul was hopeful to strike a deal with the attackers.My pack’s finance was solely in my hand, the duty of taking care of the entire population wouldn’t be in the favor of homeless rogues. Perhaps, they would agree to leaving in exchange for a hefty amount of money.With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I carefully approached my pack’s ground, a familiar voice wrinkled my forehead in surprise. “It’s time to get rid of the futur
Zuriel’s P.O.V.When Evelyn mentioned a deal to revive our former relationship, I was over the moon, soaring high in the sky.You can imagine whatever scenario you like for being insanely excited as my heart threatened to tear my rib cage, and danced in the symphony of love. I left my pack that night and went on the new mission given by my Luna, disregarding my Pack’s condition. As Gamma Jason, who had been promoted to the Beta position, opposed my sudden decision.“After Henry’s death, unusual movements of rogues were noticed in different parts of our Werewolf Kingdom.They seemed to be working on a dirty agenda, you should stay here and guide us for a strong security system.”I turned deaf ears to his warning, and ordered him in my Alpha command.“We have a flawless defense system in the whole Kingdom. I trust in your abilities, and now Beta Bruce is also with you.All of you devise plans for patrolling teams, and arrange for food and fuel supply in case of any war.Keep me updated
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“A sister?”I was taken aback by this sudden onslaught hurled on me, but Eddie’s question gave me enough courage to discuss Walter’s issue with him.“A newborn sister would need extra care, and you’ll have to wait before she finally becomes able to play with you.What about Bex as your permanent sister? We can be a family with uncle Walter and his daughter.”My cautious approach was difficult to comprehend for Eddie, he knitted his brow.“Uncle Walter is your friend. How can we be family, mommy?”Why was this challenging to explain normal things to a child? I sighed and fiddled with my sleeves, avoiding eye-contact with my own child.“Uncle Walter wants to be my husband, then Bex and you’ll be brother-sister.”“No!”Eddie gasped, not believing his supernatural hearing. The mobile phone from his hand landed on the bed, he narrowed his eyes. “Are you divorcing my daddy? But it’s impossible, mommy.”His firm belief shook my confidence, I calmed my racing heart and asked.
