The Rejected Contract Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

[Rosie's POV]“You're crazy! You humiliated me at our sacred ceremony! Can't you see the entire pack’s elders are scolding me for your psychopathic behavior!?”“Sorry,” was all I could say. His slap marks still hurt on my face. How should I tell him? I'm doing all this because my body belongs to someone else.“I have to reject you,” he said, finally giving in. “I, Beta Mike, reject you as my Mate, Rosie Mauvelous. Answer now. There's a lot of mess you've made that I need to clean up tonight.”“I, Rosie Mauvelous, accept your rejection,” I retorted with a downcast face. Mike dragged his feet angrily, leaving me still in my wedding dress. Alone.I staggered back to my mansion alone in my reverie. It would be a lie if I wasn't hurt after being rejected by my Beta mate, for so many times. But what could I do? It was all better than having to endure the hatred of my own family. Arriving home, my step mother and sister greeted me in the living room, rather than my father who had been indif

[Rosie's POV]Hesse's attitude towards me confused me. A dozen horse-drawn carriages were prepared to carry my luggage to the palace. The maids dismounted and changed my clothes. This dress I'm wearing, isn't it too luxurious for a slave?“This way, Miss.” Hesse opened the carriage door, accompanying me into it.Hey. This kind of treatment, almost makes me think Alpha Charles is a good person. But just thinking about it, already makes me almost laugh. There was no way Alpha Charles would go to such lengths, ordering his subordinates to serve me, without an ulterior motive? No shit He would do that.“We have arrived, Miss.” Hesse referred to the palace gates that had opened to welcome us.The sun had already risen when our carriage arrived, so I could see a grand feast being held on the palace's front lawn.My father's words were no exaggeration. Alpha Charles truly lived in a different world from me.The palace that stood in front of me seemed to have been born from a dream world. Wh

[Charles' POV]Knock! Knock! Knock!“Who dares to disturb me!?” The sound of a servant knocking on the door forced me to stop what I was doing. My temper had been boiling since that damn Luna's arrival. “You! Come out! How dare you touch my chamber door with that rotten finger of yours!” I growled at the door as it opened on its own. Whoever it was, I would kill anyone who deliberately played me. Unfortunately, the door opened and revealed the face that had been filling my head.“Hey. Isn't she Rosie? How dare she set her face here.” Darwin, my Wolf, laughed at my misfortune of being visited by that Luna on this hot night. When I wanted to avoid her.“Are you looking to die?” I snapped angrily at her. “Have you forgotten that I rejected you? How many times do I have to tell you I don't want to see you in my room?”“S-sorry, Alpha Charles. It's just that, I was ordered to come to your chamber tonight.” Her voice fearfully trembled with my anger. But, fear is not enough. I wanted her

“Let it go, Elder Arthur. I'm sure Charles' great-brother only meant what he said. We all know a big brother should have more discretion.”The effects of last night's ritual were still eating away at the magic flowing through my veins, astonishingly Darwin suddenly woke up from his slumber and stirred in anger.The same thing never failed to happen every time I met my brother, William Vermilion. For as long as we could remember, the two of us had been brothers who had never been blessed with brotherhood.Ever since my suspicion that he had killed my parents, the great elders had separated the two of us into different castles. But what is that bastard doing here? Should I make him remember how much I hate his presence?“Elders, the crow that reads the news says Charles' great brother has found his destined Luna. So I wonder why I feel the flow of his magic remains so unstable?” came Arthur's question that did not look so pleased.“You're not wrong, that Luna does exist. For the first t

“Look. There's a name written on the back.” It wasn't me, but Liliana who first noticed that someone had written a brief identity on the almost charred painting.Delancy Vermilion. With the last name Vermilion, I already knew she was Luna who was the princess of this great pack. There was something strange about how that beauty radiated.The Luna named Delancy Vermilion had the scent of an illogical death. She didn't die a natural death. Someone had done something terrible to her.“Rosie.” Liliana broke my concentration again.“Did you find something?” I asked. I realized that my intense interest in Luna Delancy stemmed from her intense curiosity about the photo I was holding.“Haven't you noticed one strange thing? That Luna in the photo, she has a face that looks exactly like you!”At first, I couldn't believe it. All the clarity and detail in this painting was almost to the level of blurring, due to the burning on the right side of the painting which scorched almost most of the body
