The Alpha of Wolf Creek のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

CassandraConnor was long gone when I finally forced myself awake. The side of the bed was cold, and the room felt lonely without his presence. I scoffed at myself for allowing myself to feel so needy, like I couldn’t breathe without him. I was just setting myself up for disappointment. But last night… Last night was awesome. I never knew sex could be so…heck, I couldn’t even find the words to describe it. He was amazing. Every muscle in my body was still tingling from our night of passion.‘Of course he was. He’s our mate. You feel the mate bond, don’t you, Cassie?’ Sage purred and sighed with contentment.“Don’t know if I can call it that. He is an experienced lover, that’s for sure.” Not that I had any experience. “But will he be faithful to us?” I was still worried about what he felt for Stacey. She was definitely not over him.‘He wasn’t lying when he told you he never slept with her. I told you he wouldn’t.’ Sage was annoyed with me. I felt her coat bristle with it. ‘Stop being

Joel“Joel, you’re home early.” Agnes greeted me, wiping her hands on her hips. She was arranging some wildflowers in a vase in the middle of the dining room table. Every time I returned home, seeing her there, breathing in her scent, it filled me with a sense of wonder. Part of me couldn’t believe that she was there. That if I blinked, she would have just been a figment of my imagination and gone in a puff of smoke.“Agnes.” There was still some tension between us. I was having a hard time with her refusal to let me help her get a divorce. But I’ve made my decision. I should have thought of it sooner. Locke wasn’t making any progress, or he was too busy chasing tail to help me. I’m taking Agnes to see Maxwell.“I’ll make you some coffee. Have you spoken to Cassie lately?” Agnes bustled about the kitchen, full of nervous energy.“Agnes, sit down.” I pulled out a chair for her. She left the mugs on the counter and did as I asked. When my hands rested on her tense shoulders, she gave a

ConnorMiles strutted back to the pack house and all the way up the stairs to my floor with Cassie clinging to his back like a limpet. The beast was overflowing with joy at having her close. At least it looked like she accepted him. Maybe it was too soon to speak of love. I shouldn’t have jumped the gun, and she didn’t say it back. Didn’t think it would hurt so much, but it did.But can I blame her? We hardly know each other. I had to give it time. Our mate bond would grow stronger when she had her first shift. I just know it. It’s like she doesn’t trust it. Stacey was right, though. Cassie was insecure and part of it was my fault. I had to assure her of my love and commitment to her and, unfortunately, Stacey’s presence wasn’t helping.However concerned I was about Cassie’s feelings towards me, I was just as worried about keeping possession of Wolf’s Creek. I owed it to my pack. Most of us were born here, it was all we knew. Where would we go if I lost it? Joel told me to call my dad

CASSANDRANaughty lingerie, he said. I giggled all the way into the shopping center. Would there even be such a shop in this place? I wandered from one shop to another, not knowing what I wanted or what Connor would find suitable. If the dress I wore was anything to go by, I guessed it would be conservative at best. Although I really liked the yellow sundress, it made me look grown-up paired with golden sandals and clutch included. Busy admiring myself in a shop window, I suddenly had an eerie sensation that I was being watched. My first panicked thought was that Frank had found me. But only for a moment, then I laughed it off as being paranoid. There was no way he would know I was there. I carried on walking around, window shopping, and not finding anything that piqued my interest. Until a delicious smell of baked pastries led me by my nose into a bakery.I bought a custard slice and a large latte, using Connor’s card, feeling slightly guilty. But the guilt soon vanished after eatin

AgnesI gave up trying to dissuade Joel from taking me to see the lawyer. He could be the stubbornest werewolf on the planet, with Cassie at a close second. No mistake, she was her father’s daughter. Now we were waiting for Mr. Maxwell in the small waiting room. I wiped my damp palms against my dress. Even though the room was cool thanks to the air conditioner and drawn blinds, my anxiety caused me to perspire profusely. My floral dress stuck to my back like a second skin. Joel took my hand in his and squeezed it gently.“You have nothing to fear, Agnes. Maxwell knows his stuff. Just tell him everything.” As if it were that easy.I wished I could feel as confident. Joel gave me a reassuring smile, and I tried to smile back, but I failed.The door opened, and a tall, bony man rushed into the room. “Sorry to have kept you waiting. My goodness, Joel! I almost didn’t recognize you.” He extended his hand to Joel when we both stood, his glance flicking over my face.Joel shook his hand, gri
