Midnight Sin (A Rejected Mate's Romance) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

She wants to leave me. Again. I know she’s thinking about protecting me, but how can she not see that I would be more hurt if I lost her? She can’t do this. I can’t let her do this. Screams break my thoughts. I already know it’s her. I can feel it. Colin is carrying her out before I can make it down the hallway. My urge to growl is replaced by the need to help her. He hands her to me. I start to take off to the clinic.“She needs rest, not a doctor,” Rita stops me.“I want her to get checked out, anyway.”“She’s a hybrid, Alex. The more people that find out, the more danger she’s in.”My body tenses. I had forgotten about that revelation. I give her a nod and carry my mate into the office before placing her on the couch.“What the hell happened?”

The sun brings a relaxed cloak around us when it peeks through the windows. We made it through another night and what a night it was. I’m met with the prettiest eyes the minute I open mine. Before I can give her a proper good morning, a knock interrupts us. Her smile deflates, making me furious at whoever is invading our space.The door opens when we refuse to answer. I pull the blanket up to cover Amber fully. It leaves my chest partially. I could care less about someone seeing me, but I’ll be damned if anyone else gets a peek at what’s mine. “Good morning,” Paige says as she and Colin darken the doorway.“Alpha, Luna. What brings you out of the packhouse so early?”“It’s 11am.”“Still early,” Amber grumbles.“We had h

“Because my mate is more important, and when I saw her that night, everything changed. Pain and fear were carved into her face. That’s not something any man wants to see when they find their soulmate. I knew that this all had to end. That I had to change.”“We can understand that,” Peyton says, putting his arm around Claire. “Okay, so what can you tell us about Lyle?”“Well, my group is weak right now. We’ve had to resort to human blood, and many are not handling the change so well. That said, they are still lethal to your kind.”“How long have you been feeding on our girls?”“A few years. Before that, we were like any other vampires.”“How do we beat him?” Alex asks through gritted teeth.I place a hand on his arm, trying to

My nerves join Zeke in bouncing off the walls. I know Amber is in pain. I can feel it even without opening the bond. I guess this is what Peyton and Colin have been feeling. I hate it. I hate this whole situation, but it’s almost over. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. It. Is. Almost. Over. I say with each exhale, but my nerves won’t settle. “What are we going to do about Thomas?” Peyton asks. Colin looks at Paige before answering. Seeing that she’s distracted by Alpha Stephen and Luna Monica, he answers. “I don’t know. If we find him, I’ll have to punish him, but I don’t know how I can do that.” “Treason is treason. He shouldn’t get a pass just because he’s mated to my sister’s friend.” “No. I know. I do, but I know Thomas, and I don’t think he’d really do this.” “I feel the same. We’re missing something. There’s a reason he did this. We just need to find it,” I interject. “If we text or leave a voicemail, promising lenience, he might respond. We can go from there.”

A shiver disrupts my sleepy peace. My hands search for any sign of warmth next to me, but all they find is an icy absence. I open my eyes and find myself in bed alone. It feels wrong. Where is Alex? I drag my body out of bed. The room spins. I’m still weak from yesterday. My heavy limbs beg me to crawl back into bed, but I want to find Alex first.My palms skate along the walls, keeping me upright. I can hear the sounds of people, several of them if my ears are to be trusted. The smell of bacon and pancakes fills the air. I reach the end of the hallway. The first thing I see is my mate. He’s cooking as usual. Paige, Colin, James, and Cassie are seated at the table, eating. My gaze wanders back to the man responsible for this smile on my face. Even in my exhausted state, the way Alex moves around the kitchen makes desire pool between my legs.The moment Alex tenses, I know he
