Broken Bonds: Beyond Destiny のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

SophiaIt had been a week without hearing anything about James and Bright. Days in which misery consumed all of us completely. A severe blow to our pack. We were talking about our leader and his right-hand man. The strongest in the pack. Both of them are gone.Seven endless, gloomy days with no news. Days when fear walked behind us like a shadow. Seven days without a trace, without calls, not even a new threat. Of course, my father sent groups of werewolves made up of men and women to look for clues. Yes, my father decided it was time for women to return to action in the pack. We needed every person possible to work on this. At my request, Dante had taken it upon himself to form a close relationship with my father and our pack to give us all the support he could. Dante did it for me, and I was grateful for that. Grateful to have him as a friend. He had been helpful lately.But no one said it out loud, and everyone was starting to think the same thing: Bright and James were dead.Brigh

Sophia Bright’s controlled and tired breathing was the only sound in the room since he had fallen asleep. He truly looked exhausted, even with his eyes closed. And it was no wonder, after everything he’d been through. Despite the bandage on his side and the pale tone of his skin, he was sleeping deeply, his brow relaxed for the first time in days. I couldn’t imagine all he had endured before making it here. He hadn’t even eaten anything, but Bright had already collapsed on my bed. I remained sitting in a corner of the mattress, watching his face with a mixture of relief and nostalgia. He was alive. That was all I needed to see. That he was alive. Bright.After everything we had been through… he was still here. I couldn’t help but reach out and brush my fingers through his hair. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, but he didn’t wake up. He wasn’t aware of what I was doing, and I liked touching him without him noticing. It was the only moment I could do it because consciously, I wasn’t s

SophiaI was still sitting in front of him, offering him my company while his parents rested in the dining room, enjoying dinner with mine. The pack, on the other hand, remained willing, happy, and committed to keeping watch over the house because they didn’t want anything bad to happen again to the alpha and his right hand. They also did it out of fear, to protect each other, not just out of loyalty to my brother.James, meanwhile, was still in the room with his wife, who hadn’t wanted to leave his side for even a second since he set foot in the house. Bright was still in the same spot, his back leaning against the headboard of the bed, chewing slowly as if each bite was harder than the last because he looked so exhausted. Still, he ate. He ate everything he hadn’t been able to eat in days. He was thinner, and a shower was waiting for him soon. I offered him my bathroom and to change his bedsheets so he could rest in a clean bed. The sheets he was using were stained with dried blood,

Sophia My chest felt like it was carrying kilos of weight. It was hard to even breathe normally. Everything had changed. The possibility had always been right in front of me, but I never really believed it. It felt completely different when I saw the result. A result that didn’t feel real until I saw it.The test trembled between my fingers, as if it, too, was just as stunned as I was. One word that starts with a “p” changed my entire view of the world and everything that lay ahead. It was a push I hadn’t asked for, hadn’t needed or expected, but it had found me anyway.Pregnant. The question of how I let this happen was rooted in my head, and I had no intention of leaving anytime soon. We —his parents— weren’t in an ideal situation. We could barely take care of ourselves, and now we had to think about someone else.That word kept repeating in my head, echoing violently through every corner of my mind without a hint of stopping. No comfort could calm me down or silence the fear. Not

SophiaI swallowed hard, silently begging my angels to calm the storm in my stomach. I didn’t want to feel nauseous. Not now.When Bright crossed the threshold of the room, an invisible wave ran mercilessly down my back. My whole body tensed immediately. I was terrified. I felt like I was under a spotlight as if I had committed a crime.I clenched my fingers into my palms, trying to keep my composure as he gently closed the door behind him and entered the room, moving slowly because of how affected he still was.My mom was still with us and had stayed on the sidelines but present, which made me even more nervous about what I had just told her. I could tell, just by the look on her face, that the news weighed heavily on her. She looked at us and headed for the door. But before leaving, she turned to Bright and gave him that calm, stern look she used when something bothered her. I guessed what she was about to say and braced myself.She stared at him like she was the head of the house.
