ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 46

LILLY The Alpha’s eyes burn with rage as he stands tall, watching us. Emal don't seem to be scared of him at all while I begin to shiver all over. The way the Alpha now looks at us now is really not understandable to me. Just because of what Emal said? I don't understand what's going on anymore, neither do I under the reason for his sudden rage. He looks like an angry mother hen triggered be cause of her missing chick. “Guards!” he barks. “Hold her down!” I barely have time to react before armored footsteps thunder around us. Panic claws up my throat as four guards close in with grim expressions. “Don’t touch her!” Emal growls, loudly in the way he did at the birthday party before he shifted into his wolf. His hand tightens around mine protectively, and something in his stance changes. “Stand down, Emal!” the Alpha warns. “This is just a test. I need to know who she is. Nothing more!” But Emal doesn’t believe him. I can feel it in the way his body tenses, hear it in his breat

LILLYAt my words, she falters for a moment, clearly not expecting that kind of response. Good.But I couldn't care less.I’m not some weakling she can toss words at like daggers and expect me to flinch. She might be the revered Luna to the rest of them, but not to me.

Then, without warning...Smack! Her palm crashes across my face. The sting blossoms

EMALI follow Matilda's lead to the supposed cave Lilly is, still in custody.“She has to be okay” I mutter to myself severally as we proceed. We approach the cave entrance, hidden behind a mossy ridge. As expected, guards flank the area. But Matilda reaches into the folds of her dark cloak and tosses a shimmering white powder she got from Goddess knows where into the air. A minute after, the men stagger, eyes fluttering. Within seconds, they collapse to their knees in a daze.I raise a silent thumbs up at her and she flashes a quick wink in response.Without wasting a breath, we hurry inside.It’s weirdly cold inside. The kind of chill that lingers in your bones. I can hear the echo of dripping water in the distance. And then, as we round the next corner, I see her.“Lilly…” My voice is barely above a whisper, as my body fills with unspeakable pain seeing the condition she is.
