Promised To The Lycan King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

*Valeria*My lips were nearing his again, and my heart was thumping in anticipation. Then, with a groan of effort, Dominic leaned back…away from me.A whine I had never heard before left my lips, causing Dominic to smile and my cheeks to flush in embarrassment. My cheeks had to be the shade of a lobster by now.It was too late to back down now.I grabbed his shirt and started pulling him towards me, but he gripped my hands and stopped us once more."Dominic," I whined. "Please."His eyes flashed black and his hands squeezed mine even harder…but not painful."I just wanted to emphasize again," his voice came out even more hoarse and deeper than normal, making my core tighten. "If we do this I will still not accept you as my Luna.""I know, I don't care," I said breathlessly, leaning once more.His finger pressed on my lips.Oh, come on! Really?!"And…" His eyes were now a swirl of black and blue. "...I will not be a tool for you to use to get revenge on your…mate."His tee

*Dominic*“What can you say about this, son?” I heard Mother ask in an expectant tone while Father remained silent on her side, his eyes lingering on Valeria for a while. “This whole Luna thing—it’s off the table,” I said sharply. Father gripped Mother’s shoulders as she opened her mouth to speak. I barely had a second to notice Valeria shrinking in her seat, her hands gripping a loose portion of her pants after what I’d said. “So long as I’m King of this realm, I’ve decided not to take a Luna for the rest of my term.”Mother stood the same time he did. “Son, you know you need one! A Luna is crucial when it comes to ruling a kingdom!”“I believe we’ve already ended this discussion a few seconds ago,” I never looked back as I motioned for Valeria to stand. “I won’t entertain any more questions about it.”And with that, I exited the room and walked silently into the dark hallway of the palace. Hearing the frail footsteps trailing from behind me, I couldn’t help but cast a glan

*Valeria*This is it. I’m finally freeing myself from Declan’s shackles. I can’t even begin to think of the things I’d do once I was already out of his sight. My heart raced in my chest as I watched Declan’s surprised reaction next to Dominic. He was silent the entire time, but something told me that he was proud of what I did. It was only natural for him to feel that way. After all, he had been wanting me to do this ever since we met. I smiled sweetly while Declan wobbled in his step. “You’re…that can’t be. No one’s rejecting anyone!” “Accept it, Declan. You need to accept my rejection now in front of His Majesty.” Declan glared at me despite the barriers between us. “I, Alpha of Sapphire Moon Pack, Declan, refuse to accept Valeria’s rejection!” “I’ve already spoken,” I hissed. I knew from the start that Declan was a tough cookie, but I had never imagined that he would be this stubborn once I rejected him. “The word of the initiator is absolute, and the only thing you

*Valeria*I stared around the room that had been my home for years. Then I walked over and threw the toiletries I had been holding into one of my packed bags.Declan was arrested, and this was all over. My life could go back to normal. All I had to do was get my stuff and move on with my life.But why did I feel so sad still?The answer to that question was to walk into my room just then. He took one look at the bag I was zipping up and his worry turned to anger as he glared at me in disbelief."You were going to leave without telling me?" Dominic asked. "Without telling any of us?"I turned back away from him and continued zipping up the suitcase, which proved hard to do since it was so full."I thought it would be for the best," I said quietly. "I thought that was what you would want.""Don't presume to know what I want, doll," he said, his eyes flashing. "It doesn't matter. You aren't going anywhere anyway?""And why not?" I asked, getting defensive and crossing my arms acr

*Dominic*I walked to my desk and sat on the chair immediately, my chin leaning on my palm. “It’s been days, Caleb. How the fuck are we not still able to locate that bastard?”“I’m sorry, Alpha. It appears to me that Declan had been careful with his steps ever since you had him arrested that day we went to Sapphire Moon.”Frustration tightened my jaw as I gritted my teeth, consumed by thoughts of Declan’s sudden disappearance. “Here’s what I want you to do: fly back to Sapphire Moon and personally handle the search party for Declan’s disappearance. Do you understand?”Caleb’s eyes widened with disbelief and shock. “Alpha, I don’t want to leave Rosie just yet! I’ve just learned that she’s my mate, and I want to be by her side at all times after all the trauma she had experienced with that bastard, Declan! I can’t just leave her now.”“Trust me on this, Caleb. I understand. I really do. But there’s no one else that I trust more than you to handle this. I can’t have any other Lycan
