IN-BETWEEN THE LYCAN BROTHERS のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

I was floating.The darkness around me was vast, empty. I felt like I was suspended in a void, weightless, drifting with no sense of direction. My mind was struggling to catch up with what had just happened. I couldn’t feel my body, couldn’t see anything except the endless black that stretched out in every direction. The only sensation was the eerie calm that had settled over me, a calm that was at odds with the turmoil I had felt moments before.As I floated, darkness seethed around me, like a living entity. Shadows darted past, their edges wispy and indistinct, leaving trails of unease in their wake. I felt them brush against me, ethereal fingers tracing my skin, sending shivers coursing through my veins.Fragments of images flashed before my eyes: a glimpse of a face, a whispered word, a fleeting scent. They vanished as quickly as they appeared, leaving me grasping for meaning. A memory of laughter echoed through my mind, but it was someone else's, not mine. A glimpse of a room, un

“Tell me…what happened to you.”Jess asked the moment we sat on the bed. “Okay, I’ll give you just one word: Fate,” I replied, leaning against the doorframe as Jess stood there, still trying to process everything. She frowned, clearly unsatisfied with my vague answer, but I wasn’t about to explain everything that had happened, not to her.“Fate?” she repeated, her voice laced with confusion. “That’s it? That’s all you’re going to tell me?”I nodded, my expression cool and composed. “Yes, that’s all I’m going to tell you.”Jess sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. “Selene, come on. Your eyes… they’re glowing. And your hair… it’s like it’s been touched by fire. This isn’t normal. You can’t just say ‘fate’ and expect me to drop it.”I shrugged, keeping my voice light as I said, “Believe me or not, that’s all I can say. Things are different now, Jess, and I’m different. But I’m not sure I trust you enough to let you know everything just yet.”Jess’s expression softened slightly,

I could hear the birds chirping. A glorious morning it was. The sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm, golden hue across the room. But despite the beauty of the morning, a heavy weight settled in my chest. The events of the previous night replayed in my mind, tainting the brightness of the new day with a lingering sense of regret.Leo lay beside me, his arm draped over my waist, his breath warm against my neck. His presence, usually comforting, now only served as a reminder of the chaos we had unleashed. I stared up at the ceiling, my mind swirling with thoughts, each one darker than the last.The stigma of what we had done was already settling over me like a suffocating blanket. The whispers that had followed us after that kiss were nothing compared to what would come now. The pack had been harsh, unforgiving in its judgment, and that had been just over a kiss. Now, with what had happened between us... I didn’t even want to think about it.A sigh escaped my lips, and

Selene's POV I stopped the truck at the front of Leo's estate. I could feel the guards' eyes on me, but I ignored them, stepping out with as much composure as I could muster. The estate was grand, with sprawling gardens and tall iron gates that seemed more imposing today than ever before. As I walked toward the entrance, the maids, who usually greeted me with polite smiles, were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.I don't know if it's because of the hair. My eyes. The scandal. I really didn't care. I know the type of person Tiana was and I…I like Leo. I really do. And if someone think they want to destroy the unity of his pack through their selfish flaws. They have another thing coming for them. Their eyes darted in my direction, and I caught snippets of their conversation—murmurs of something that made my stomach churn with unease. I tried not to let it bother me, but when I approached them, their chatter abruptly stopped. The silence was suffocating, and I felt a flu

Leo paced the length of his office, his mind a storm of thoughts as he prepared for the meeting. The recent developments had thrown everything into disarray, and he knew that the people were beginning to doubt his leadership. They were questioning his judgment, his strength, and most damning of all, his involvement with a woman who wasn’t his mate. Rumors were swirling, and those who had once looked to him with unwavering loyalty were now whispering behind his back.The knock on the door broke his train of thought. Caleb entered without waiting for permission, his expression grim.“Leo,” he said, his voice low. “You’re needed in the meeting.”Leo nodded, his jaw tightening. “Let’s go.”As they walked toward the meeting room, Leo’s thoughts turned to Caleb. The Gamma had always been a steady presence, the calm in the storm. He was loyal, capable, and knew how to handle difficult situations. Leo trusted him implicitly, but even Caleb’s steady presence couldn’t quell the unease gnawing a
