BOUND BY FATE, DRIVEN BY VENGEANCE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

CHAPTER ONE *Sophia’s POV* I tore through the dense woods, my legs slamming against the ground, heart pounding as if my life depended on it—because it did. Somewhere behind me, a howl sliced through the silence, echoing through the trees, then… nothing. I strained to hear any movement, any sign of what might be following me, but only an eerie, unnatural silence lingered in the air. My sprint slowed, my body hesitating, senses on high alert as I scanned my surroundings. Then, a flicker—a blur—whisked past the corner of my eye. I whipped around, but whatever it was had vanished, leaving only the unsettling notion that I might be seeing things. Swallowing hard, I took a step back, nervously twisting in every direction. A low, menacing growl rumbled behind me, and a cold wave of dread washed over me. I turned, heart racing, and found myself face-to-face with a wolf. Its piercing green eyes glared at me, hunger gleaming in its stare. My fingers fumbled in my bag for the pepper spray, h

Chapter Three: Bound to the Enemy The walls of Kane’s chambers felt suffocating. Stone pressed in on me from every side, the air thick with his presence. I could feel the pull of the bond—the way my body betrayed me with its instinctual response to him—but I would not give in. Not to him. Not to the monster who had ruined everything. Kane’s eyes locked onto mine, cold and calculating, as if he could already taste my hatred. He didn’t even try to hide the twisted amusement in his gaze. It was like a game to him. A sick one. The Alpha who had taken everything from me, now playing with the idea of claiming me, as though it was his right. “You can’t fight this, Sophia,” he said, his voice like ice. “I feel it. You feel it too.” I refused to let my emotions get the better of me, but my fists clenched, and I could feel the anger boil up inside me. “I don’t give a damn about your bond, Kane,” I spat, stepping closer. “I don’t want anything from you. Nothing at all. You can keep your cl

Chapter Five:Tension and BetrayalSOPHIA'S POVI stood by the massive wooden doors, watching Kane from the corner of my eye. He was in the middle of a tense conversation with a messenger from a neighboring pack, one that I’d never heard of before. His voice was calm, too calm for what I knew was a serious situation. "Tell him we’ll handle it," Kane said, his tone hard as stone. His eyes flickered to mine for just a second before he turned away, his expression unreadable. "I don’t take kindly to threats on my land."I had no idea what the messenger had said, but it didn’t matter. I wasn’t going to stay here and be Kane’s prisoner much longer. Every second I was with him, I could feel the walls around me closing in tighter. But today… today something was different. The way he looked at me when he thought I wasn’t paying attention—there was something in those eyes that made my skin crawl and my heart race, though I couldn’t name it. "Don’t even think about it," Kane warned suddenly, h

Chapter Seven:Unforeseen BetrayalThe journey back to the pack’s territory was silent, but it wasn’t the comfortable kind. I could feel the weight of Kane’s unspoken words as he walked beside me, his gaze fixed on the path ahead. Even though he’d thanked me, his rigid stance and the barely veiled frustration in his expression told me he wasn’t pleased with how things had played out. But I didn’t regret stepping in. If I hadn’t, I was almost certain Lucas would have pushed him past the breaking point.As we neared the boundary of the pack’s land, the dense forest surrounding us seemed to close in, the trees stretching their shadows across the path like dark fingers. Something about the night felt… wrong. A chill crept up my spine, and I caught Kane’s wary glance over his shoulder, his sharp eyes scanning the trees. “Do you sense that?” he murmured, voice barely a whisper.I nodded, though I wasn’t sure what exactly I was sensing. My instincts—raw and new as they were—seemed to be scr

Chapter NineSecrets in the DarkAs Kane and I walked side by side, the tension between us was almost tangible, though it was no longer the heat of a fight—it was something colder, a sense of duty forced by circumstance. Even after all he had done to solidify his role as Alpha, I couldn’t shake the resentment simmering beneath the surface. Every victory he claimed felt like it came at a cost I was forced to bear.Kane’s words echoed in my mind: *He’ll be back. And when he does… I’ll be ready.* But a part of me wasn’t so sure that I wanted him to be.The forest was dark and silent as we made our way back to the heart of the pack’s territory. Kane was still breathing heavily, though he tried to mask his exhaustion behind his stoic gaze. I found myself wanting to keep my distance from him, wanting to let my own thoughts settle without his presence lingering beside me like a shadow.“Are you planning to stand by me in this, Sophia?” he asked, his voice low but firm, piercing through the s
