Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

My little pet hops into my car with no hesitation. I slide into the backseat next to her, giving orders to the fledgling in the driver’s seat. I put my arm around her and pull her close. Just like the first night I met her, she doesn’t resist. She’s the same weak wolf now that she was then. That night, I was rough and quick, not caring that it was her first time sharing her body. Now, I plan to be slow and meticulous. I will take her in every way possible. I’ll touch every inch of skin and drink every drop of blood she has. Amber will spend the rest of her life with me, no matter what.After an hour of driving, I recognize the forest around us as the protective trees that hide my castle come into view. We’re close now. My grandfather was so clever to build a hidden castle in unclaimed territory. No one ever wanders this far out. The large home comes into view. I watch Amber’s face for a speck of reaction, but she keeps her eyes trained forward. My compul

I wake up to a sizzling sound. My eyes pop open as the smell of burning flesh hits my nose. The sun has flooded my room. I forgot to close my curtains. For a second, I consider letting the sun incinerate me, but then I remember my pet. My own personal mutt. A smile breaks over me as I rush to close each curtain, blocking the sun from feeding on my flesh. I don’t bother to make myself presentable. My little pet won’t care. I make my way down the long corridor and into her room. She’s in the exact spot I left her in last night. “Such a good little pet.” I stroke her hair from her face. “I’m going to free you now. Do what you need to do, and then we’ll have breakfast.” Her foggy brown eyes stay on me as she nods. I release her arms from the cuffs, kissing her wrists gently. She leaves me waiting on the edge of her bed while she retreats to her small bathroom. Twenty minutes later, she appears, freshly showered and wrapped in a towel.

I wipe away the wet sadness and plaster a mask on my face. This is not the time to show weakness. I walk back through the halls, keeping my head down. Maybe Paige will have some more insight into all of this. The room is silent but full when I get there. I try to suppress the urge to look for Amber among everybody. “Are Ryker and Claire okay?” Paige whispers hoarsely.“They’re fine.” Peyton leans down to kiss his sister’s forehead. “Thank you for protecting my family.”Paige smiles until her eyes land on me.“Alex, I’m so sorry. I tried to get her to stay. I really did. I couldn’t fight them.”“It’s not your fault. You didn’t do this.”“I tried to tell her to run. I told her I wasn’t her Luna, and she didn’t have to go with him, but she wouldn’t listen. She kept Lyle from hurting me.”A tear slips past my shield and down my face. “We’re going to find her.”“Lyle said that one of our own led him to Amber.”“Excuse me? He said a werewolf told him how to find Amber?” Nolan interjects,

He goes towards the door, but I’m quicker. I come to stand in front of him, looking directly into his eyes. “Are you serious? You have something?”“I wouldn’t lie to you about it. But I’m not telling you shit until you shower and eat.”“How do you know if this lead is even legit?”“Because I already checked it out and now I know where Lyle has been hiding.”My chest fills with a balloon of hope. I might have a chance of saving Amber.“Let’s go,” I say.“Did you not hear me? I’m not going anywhere with you or telling you anything until you shower and eat. The last thing I want is for Amber to kick my ass for not taking care of you.”“I can eat later. Right now, finding Amber is more important.”He shakes his head at me, taking a seat on the couch. My temper rises, threatening to erupt. Colin sees it too. He sees my hands bal

We walk towards a thick clump of trees. I can smell the dried blood on the trees. Stupid wolves left us a trail. But if we are to find them in this dense area, Thaddeus and I will have to go up onto the branches.“Thank you for all you’ve done, but we can take it from here, Linda.”“Yes, Lord Lyle.” She bows, but her small, blue eyes never leave mine.I watch her swing her hips as she leaves us to our work. Her flirty gesture sends an electrifying wake up call to my lower head, not even caring that she is the mother of my pet. Oh, I have got to get back soon. I need a release. I push my way through the trees, not waiting for Thaddeus to follow. There are trampled leaves and blood spots all over the forest floor. It gives me a clear path to follow.“My Lord, should we call for the others?”“I don’t want to wait for them. Let’s just get this over with.”We jump f
