Luna Awakening: Claimed By Her Three Alphas のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

ValeriaOpening the door, I was greeted by a tall, broad-shouldered figure who wore a disarmingly cheerful expression. For a moment, I blinked, caught off guard by the unexpected warmth.“You must be Valeria,” the man said, flashing a bright smile. “I’m Finnian, the pack’s scout. I’ve been sent to bring you to the dining room for dinner.”I nodded, trying to adjust to the contrast of his easy demeanor, so different from Kade’s. “I’m surprised,” I admitted, as I followed him down the hall. “You’re much less… grumpy than Kade.”Finnian let out a hearty chuckle, the sound echoing through the dimly lit hallway. “Kade? Grumpy? That’s an understatement. He’s more like a thundercloud walking on two legs.”I couldn’t help but smile at that. It was nice to share a light moment, even if it didn’t last. As we walked through the corridors, my stomach twisted with nerves. Meeting Kade’s subordinates wasn’t exactly on my list of things I was excited about, especially given my situation.When we rea

ValeriaAs soon as Kade and I rounded a corner where no one could see us, I barely had a second to process what was happening before he grabbed me by the shoulders and slammed me against the wall. My breath hitched, both from the shock of his roughness and the sight of his face, twisted in anger. He was seething, his eyes dark with fury.“What the hell was that back there?” Kade growled, his grip tightening on my collar. His face was inches from mine, his breath hot against my skin. “What did you do, Valeria?”“I—I don’t know,” I stammered, my heart racing. “I swear, I don’t know what happened back there.”But he wasn’t listening. His hands dug deeper into the fabric of my shirt as he shook me slightly, his body trembling with barely restrained rage. “Don’t lie to me,” he hissed. “That kind of power, it doesn’t just come out of nowhere.”“I’m not lying!” I protested, trying to wriggle free, but Kade’s hold was too strong. “I don’t know what that was. It just happened!”Kade’s eyes nar

ValeriaThe kitchen was quiet when I slipped downstairs in the early morning. The packhouse, usually buzzing with activity, was still, and it was almost peaceful as I padded barefoot across the cool floor, feeling a strange calm in the silence. I headed straight for the kitchen, needing a drink of water to soothe the dry knot in my throat after the restless night I had.As I approached the fridge, I halted, realising I wasn’t alone. Kade stood in front of the open refrigerator, his broad frame illuminated by the faint light from inside. My instinct was to turn around and leave, but something made me hesitate. His wrist was still wrapped in the bandage, the injury from when I accidentally used that strange burst of power on him, and he was struggling to reach for something on the top shelf. His left arm hung stiffly, still numb from the strain.I sighed quietly, unsure whether to help or let him figure it out himself. My feet moved before my mind could decide.“Here, let me,” I said, s

ValeriaI couldn’t shake the chill that crept up my spine as I watched one of the cloaked figures disperse into the shadows. Had they seen me? My heart was racing, and I could barely keep my breaths steady as I stayed hidden in the darkness. But then, just as I was about to turn and slip back into the packhouse, something caught my eye. One of the figures had broken off from the group, disappearing into the woods behind the courtyard.The other person had disappeared out of sight just before I could poke my head out again.I hesitated for a moment. I knew it wasn’t wise to follow someone into the forest, especially someone I suspected was involved in the Alpha King’s death, but my curiosity burned hotter than my sense of self-preservation. Without thinking, I found myself stepping into the moonlit path, trailing behind the cloaked figure at a safe distance.Each step was calculated, my feet moving as silently as possible on the dirt path. The figure ahead of me moved swiftly, like they

Valeria The next morning arrived with a thick, heavy cloud of sorrow hanging over the wolf pack. The air itself seemed to mourn the loss of the Alpha King and his family. As I dressed for the funeral, a somber chill ran down my spine. There was a hollowness in my chest, a strange ache that throbbed with every breath. I couldn’t explain it, but the closer we got to the time of the ceremony, the more unsettled I felt.Rylan had insisted on accompanying me, and I was grateful. As much as I tried to stand strong, something about this day made me feel as if I might crumble at any moment. We walked in silence, and I found myself unconsciously leaning into his side, seeking comfort in his presence. He didn’t say anything about it, but his arm brushed against mine, and it was enough to ground me.When we reached the ceremonial grounds, my heart clenched. The sight of the Alpha King and his family being laid to rest was overwhelming. A strange familiarity swept through me, as if I knew them,
