The Cruel Alpha's Unwanted Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

{~~Logan Grey~~}We made the slow, silent walk back to our cabins, the crisp air of the forest cool against our fur. As the trees thinned out, we shifted back into our human forms, the transformation leaving us both nude under the moonlight. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her, the way her skin seemed to glow softly in the dim light, her hair a wild cascade down her back. She looked like she belonged out here, away from the suffocating confines of the town, even if just for a night. I knew she needed this. A break. An escape."Go get in the shower," I told her, my voice gentle but firm. "I'll order us something decent for lunch." As fun, as sitting around a campfire, talking, and eating s'mores might be, it wasn't real food. We needed our energy, and more importantly, she needed her energy. She nodded, her eyes flicking up to meet mine before she walked into the cabin.I picked up the phone, my fingers dialing the number for the kitchen. The chef answered promptly, his voice deep an

|THE PAST- TWO YEARS PRIOR|{~~Ava Sterling~~}I sat down on the cold, worn bench, the wooden slats creaking slightly under my weight. The park was quiet at this hour, the early morning sun casting long shadows across the ground. The silence was almost oppressive, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the distant chirp of a bird. I glanced left, then right, my eyes scanning the empty paths that wound through the park. I needed to be sure—absolutely certain—that I hadn't been followed. The last thing I needed was someone seeing me here, especially not him.My heart raced a little faster, a mix of nerves and anticipation churning in my stomach. I tried to calm myself, but the adrenaline was too strong, pulsing through my veins as I waited. I could hear the faint rumble of a motorcycle in the distance, growing louder with each passing second. My pulse quickened as I recognized the familiar sound, the low growl that meant Rex was close.A minute later, he appeared, cutting thr

{~~Avery Sterling~~}The king was nothing like I had expected. His presence filled the room with a heavy, almost suffocating tension. He wasn’t even supposed to be here with us, yet here he stood, commanding attention with every breath he took. The air seemed to grow colder as he entered, and I could see the color drain from Ava’s face. She had always been defiant, always had a sharp retort on the tip of her tongue, but now, for the first time, I saw her tremble. Perhaps, at last, she was realizing the gravity of her crimes.The king’s dark skin glowed under the dim lighting, a stark contrast to the rich, deep crimson of his robes, which draped around his tall, broad frame with an elegance that spoke of power and authority. His features were striking—high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and eyes so intense they seemed to pierce through you. His hair was neatly braided, and a thin golden circle rested atop his head, gleaming faintly. The intricate patterns embroidered in gold on his tuni

{~~Logan Grey~~}Can you believe she wanted to think about the king instead of her kisses? She locked her mouth with mine and expected me to focus. Okay, maybe I was the one who kissed her. But who drags someone into a broom closet if they didn’t want us to fuck? How did I misread the signals?Wait, aren’t I doing something? Should my attention not be on that? I sighed and glanced at the screen of my monitor.I was deep into the files of one of my new patients when I noticed something that sent a chill down my spine. It wasn’t something that jumped out immediately, but the more I looked, the more uneasy I became. There was something off in her system, something that didn’t add up, something that made me feel like I should triple-check everything. It wasn’t just a hunch—this was the kind of gut instinct that only comes after years of experience, the kind that told me that if I didn’t dig deeper, I’d regret it later. I knew from the get-go that this wasn’t just a normal case. And now th

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I had to contact Logan. The moment I saw the blood pooling beneath my sister, the cold, hard reality of the situation hit me like a freight train. The surgery wasn’t going as planned—not by a long shot. The baby had been delivered, but something was horribly wrong. Her pulse was weak, her skin ashen, and the monitors were screaming with alarm. The doctors were doing everything they could, but it wasn’t enough. She was bleeding out, slipping away with every passing second, and all I could think was that this couldn’t be happening—not now, not like this.For a moment, I froze, watching the chaos unfold in slow motion. The nurses scrambled around her, hands moving frantically as they tried to stem the flow of blood. Doctor Shawn’s face was a mask of concentration, but even he couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes. My sister’s life was hanging by a thread, and if she died, everything we’d been working towards would be lost. She was the only key we had to Rex, the only p
