REBORN LUNA'S REVENGE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Something is touching my hand; pinching and slapping. I feel myself floating far away; it's not peaceful here. All I feel is pain and hate. The pinching and slapping continues; it's a nuisance even in this horrible sea of anger. Everywhere is dark and wet but somehow, I feel the dry slapping on my hand. I start to hear a voice from far away. “Wake up, Lady Madeline…wake up!” In an instant, my body jolts forward, feeling as though I swallowed the ocean. I sputter out terrible coughs and heave for quite a while before I gain my senses. When I open my eyes, my whole world takes a pause. In front of me, is a very familiar face. My lady-in-waiting, Runa. Huh? I'm alive? I look about, observing the room. With each breath I take, my heart skips a beat. There are clothes and jewelry spewed everywhere, the chamber is in total disarray and an incense pot is sitting on my window sill. I remember this day but I'm not supposed to be reliving it. What's going on? On this particular

I lie on the floor, frozen; clutching what is left of my dress. The masked man tilts his head and rises from the ground. I'm still in shock and shivering from the night's cold. “That was stupid of you, my lady. You should have called for help.” It's the attacker who says this. He has come to stand over me and outstretches a hand. I take it slowly and rise to the ground. We're both wearing gloves so all I feel is cold from his person. “Uhm…we— we'll be in trouble…Thank you for your help.” I whisper, looking away from his masked face. The eyes that lie within are very intense, making me even more uncomfortable than I am now. I cling tightly to my dress. If anyone came out now, they'd see their Luna-to-be half naked with a stranger and a corpse on the floor. That'd be bad for my reputation. I had to leave this party. When I make to move through a hidden corridor, the man stops me, grabbing me gently by my arm. I flinch immediately and he lets go. “I wouldn't go down there if I

My stomach is in knots. I don't know why I expected Damien to have even a little hesitation. I expected too much of him then… Before I can plea or beg, the bear shifter begins to walk out the palace. I kick and scream for help but no one— absolutely no one stands up for me. They all watch as I'm taken away, biting and shrieking for help. My own mate stands there, comfortable with the safety of his throne. A throne handed over on a plate of gold by his mad father. He would do anything to protect it; even if it meant sacrificing me. Who was I kidding? Damien had done the same thing in my previous life, killing me off to protect his image as lycan King. I'm whisked off, out of his sight and on top of a muscular giant horse. “Can you ride, m’lady?” The bear shifter laughs, assuming I'm too weak to do so. His name is Angus, only brother of the dead Bear Alpha. Before I can nod, he puts me in very long shackles that he can hold from a meter or two. “You better hang on, eh? We

His words leave me even more frozen than I was before. I hiss under my breath, hoping that by some stroke of luck, the ground would open up and swallow me.But it doesn't— and I'm still stuck here, with cold fluids on my back.“A-and if I refuse?” I ask tentatively, eyes darting around in the dim corridor behind him. I'm searching for a way out of this hell— I know it's not possible.Not in the state I am in anyway. But if I could just get out…To my question, Angus smiles, stretching those horrid lips of his. “You die.”It's a simple statement and I know for a fact that he means it. I shuffle on my feet, tap the bare flesh against the cold cave floors.“I accept.” My own voice sounds foreign to my ears. I don't care how I have to leave the cave— whether under the guise of a bear clan whore or not.Angus shines his teeth which are normally yellow but glint orange under the pale lantern lights.“Oh dear Luna Queen. You'd do anything to come of here wouldn't you? You'd say anything, to

TW: Implied SAAt first, I actually thought I was dreaming, seeing the green eyed man here. It was when he spoke again, voice low, tone cold, that I realized.This wasn't a dream. Suddenly, a bout of rage developed within me. I was sure he had heard it by now— the accusation on my head that I had killed the bear Alpha, Fred. I was sure he knew and yet he had kept silent, disappearing into thin air when he could have cleared my name. My anger bubbles over even more when I realize again that he was dining with these people— knowing very well he had killed Fred.Seeing my violent reaction, his eyes sparkled; it was as though he was mocking me. I gripped the slippery satin of my dress, trying to stifle my anger and helplessness. Angus grunted in response to Masked man's question from earlier. He gripped my behind firmly and my mind went blank with disgust.“Yes, I believe we should discuss what we came here for. But before that, can you explain why you're here today, Serpent? You rare
