로그인" Where is His Majesty?" I asked sharply, my voice nonchalant, The attendees who were standing in the bridal suite, snickered, " Did you think His Majesty would attend a lowly person like you? You are just another subject for his entertainment. Wait, until you are summoned. His Majesty doesn't like Omegas like you." This wasn't the last thing that I was told before I was abandoned in a very secluded Packhouse with nothing but a guard who barely protected my place. How fun! A new addition to my excellent life. I was born Omega. I mean, I was Born-Omega. I had no idea how this term actually worked. Just because my Wolf was smaller, weaker, they called me that. And in the Pack of Strong Warriors and soldiers, being an Omega meant I was cursed by Moon Goddess, neglected by all. So being a Lycan's Luna meant immediately death for someone like me.
더 보기「おめでとう、妊娠してる!……双子だよ!一条くん、きっと驚くね!」
専属医の三上先生の言葉が何度も頭の中で復唱されている。
「信じられない!嘘?本当に私のお腹に子どもが?しかも二人も!?」
嬉しいというよりも頭の中が真っ白だ。結婚して三年。妊活に励み子どもを授かることを待ちわびていた。ずっと、ずっと待ち望んでいた瞬間が今日、いきなり二倍になってやってきた。
病院からの帰り道、窓の景色を眺めながら私は夫の瑛斗に報告する場面を何度も想像した。彼のくしゃっと笑った顔。少し照れたような心の底から嬉しそうな顔。早くその顔が見たかった。
長年仕えている運転手が私の変化に気づき話しかけてきた。
「華お嬢様、何か良いことでもあったのですか?さきほどからとても幸せそうなお顔で微笑んでいらっしゃいますね。」
「ええ、とっても素敵で幸せなことがあったの。」
夫の一条瑛斗は、一条グループの若きCEO。切れ長の瞳、通った鼻筋、そしていつも自信に満ちた佇まい。初めて見た時、私はその完璧なまでのルックスに息を呑んだ。瑛斗のことを高校の時からずっと好きで初恋の人だった。
神宮寺家の令嬢である私は、父や祖父が決めた相手と結婚をしなくてはいけなかった。いわゆる「政略結婚」だ。家のために自分の気持ちとは関係なく結婚することは絶望的な未来に思えた。しかし、運命は残酷なだけではなかった。
お見合いの席で、一条家の御曹司として瑛斗が現れた時は信じられなくて言葉を失った。まさか初恋の相手が夫になるなんて想像もしていなかった。その夜、喜びと幸せで胸がいっぱいになり興奮して眠れなかった。こうして私たちは夫婦になった。
あれから三年。瑛斗は社長に就任して多忙な毎日を送っているが、私は初恋の相手瑛斗の妻になれたことに幸せを感じながら毎日を過ごしている。
(念願の妊娠だもん。こんな嬉しいニュースは直接伝えて瑛斗の喜ぶ顔が見たい)
病院を出てすぐに電話で報告しようと思ったが直接伝えることにした。
病院から帰ってきてすぐに瑛斗が好きなラザニアを作って帰りを待つことにした。もちろんソースは一から手作りだ。料理長の作るご飯も美味しいが、こんな特別な日は自分で作って瑛斗を喜ばせたかった。
(どんな顔をするだろう。どんな言葉をくれるだろう。)
ソースを煮込みながら、彼の喜ぶ姿とこれから始まる家族4人の生活を想像しながら彼の帰りを待っていた。出来立てを食べて欲しくて帰りが何時になるか連絡したが返事は来ない。ソファで待っているうちにうたた寝をしてしまい、車のエンジン音で目を覚ました時には既に22時を過ぎていた。
瑛斗を出迎えるため慌てて玄関へ向かう。
「おかえりなさい」
「ただいま。」
「なんだか疲れているみたいだけど大丈夫?」
「ああ。……話があるんだ。少しいいかな」
いつもより冷たく沈んだ声で瑛斗が静かに言った。疲れ切った様子の瑛斗だが、大人の男の色香をまとい、疲れた顔さえも魅力的だった。3年たった今でも瑛斗と目が合うとドキドキして胸が高鳴る。
表情がどこか硬い瑛斗の後ろを歩きリビングへ入った。
(仕事で疲れているのかもしれない。でも妊娠のことが分かったら気持ちも変わるかも!)
「先にご飯にする?今日ね、話をしたいことがあって瑛斗の好きなラザニアを作って待っていたんだ。」
「……そうやって機嫌でも取っているつもりなのか。」
「え……?」
瑛斗の言葉に耳を疑った。普段はそんなことを言う人ではない。頭の回転が早く、いつも冷静で落ち着いて、人が不快に思うような台詞は今まで一度も言ったことがないので信じられなかった。
「瑛斗、仕事で何か嫌なことや問題でもあったの?何か疲れている?私に出来ることがあるなら……」
ソファに座る瑛斗に近寄り、膝をついて手を重ねると怪訝そうな顔をしてすぐさま振り払った。
「触るな。もう放っておいてくれ。それよりここにサインをしてくれないか?」
彼は深くため息をついた後、鞄から一枚の白い封筒を取り出した。
何の書類か分からず受け取ったがタイトルを見た瞬間、頭の中が真っ白になった。
(なにこれ……)
【離婚協議書】 彼から渡された書類にはこう記されてあった。
Eirlys Lumi,4 AM, The Blue Phoenix,"You have been coming less and less, My Lady. Did something happen?" The bartender, Alex Harris, placed my regular in front of me as he asked the question, his tone casual but his eyes observant as ever.The glass clinked softly against the counter, crystal and heavy-bottomed. A slow swirl of amber caught the dim blue lights overhead, bending them into fractured reflections. Whiskey.A single large ice cube rested in the center, already cracking faintly from the sudden change in temperature. The scent reached me before the taste ever could, oak, smoke, and something bitter that lingered at the back of the throat like an unspoken warning.I grabbed a cigarette and lit it, the flame briefly illuminating my face before fading into the low haze of the bar. "Been busy lately."The Blue Phoenix hadn’t changed. It never did. Dark corners, low music humming like a distant pulse, people who spoke in half-truths and left before sunrise. A place where names d
Eirlys Lumi,Next night,The crimson moon lingered in the sky like a silent witness, its dim, blood-tinged glow stretching across the stone walls of the Royal Packhouse.At this hour, the world was quiet as it should be. Except for some occasional dogs barking, and distant howls that stood as witnesses to such a lovely night.I moved through the hallway, my steps quiet and balanced. The night guards stood still, unable to notice the only person moving through their blind spots.Throughout the day, I had done nothing but stay outside his room, guarding and poison-testing his meals. The servant who betrayed him had been taken into custody for interrogation.I had expected to meet Suzanne, but unfortunately, she didn’t come to meet His Majesty. Tsk.Right now, I was heading to fulfill the favor for Edward.Just as I climbed the walls and jumped onto the ground, a car stopped. It was George, waiting for me since I forwarded the message from Edward.Whenever Edward asked for a favor, I wou
Kaelith, I said nothing. I simply watched her. And that silence broke her far more than any words could. "It’s enough, Suzanne," Valerian stepped in, his voice sharp. "We have already learned that the Luna has been replaced, and the woman who signed the marriage certificate has not been here. Where is she?" "What?" she snapped, her composure cracking, eyes widening. "I… I don’t know. I did send my servants. They didn’t come here. Also… I think she ran away too. No girl wants to be Luna. Then why would they—" "Do you have any pictures of her?" I asked, cutting through her words. "Why would you need an Omega’s picture?" "Omega?" Valerian’s voice sharpened instantly. "We never said that the replacement Luna Queen is an Omega, Suzanne." A heavy, suffocating silence fell over the room. She looked tensed, her fingers shook. Her jaw clenched, her face turning bright red as realization dawned, too late. "So you knew there was a replacement, and you did not intend to info
Kaelith, "My Lord! You summoned me?" Suzanne's voice came like a melody as she walked into the chamber, soft and deliberately lilting, as if each note was meant to curl around the senses. She adorned herself in a thin georgette blue dress, the fabric clinging and falling in all the right places, revealing far more than it concealed. The faint rustle of it followed her every step, drawing attention like a whispered invitation. A seductive grin played on her lips as she closed the door behind her, the click echoing faintly in the vast chamber. She was completely oblivious to Valerian's presence, or perhaps she simply chose to ignore it, confident in her place here. "Which dinner would you like to have? Me or..." She paused mid-sentence. Her grin vanished, replaced by a puzzled, awkward smile the moment her gaze landed on Valerian standing behind me, his expression tight, shoulders drawn rigid as if bracing against something unseen. I leaned deeper into the chair, my elbow resting la
Kaelith, The air shifted around me as I walked into the meeting room, finding that bastard sitting on the couch as if he owned the place. His legs were on the edge of the table, looking smug. When he noticed me, he hurriedly moved them away and stood up, "Here is the King of this territory!"
Eirlys Lumi, The long hallway came to an end at the throne room, a chamber that spoke of the pack’s prosperity through its towering pillars and polished surfaces, each detail reflecting a quiet, suffocating authority. Nothing felt out of place, and yet everything felt deliberate, as though even t
Eirlys Lumi,The helicopter stayed still above us as George descended the stairs of ropes slowly with a duffle bag on his back. The wind from the rotors whipped around my hair and clothes, tugging at me with every gust.I looked at the girls… Freya and Lilian, who were too shocked to say another w
Eirlys Lumi,It was an old Packhouse on the cliff of the Ravilan Mountain, a mountain standing proudly in the depths of the woods.The cars stopped almost a kilometre away from the Packhouse. We had to walk the rest of the way.As I watched from the car, the elderly women opened the door for me and
