The Rejected Omega's Redemption のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 451 - チャプター 460

The deeper chambers of the resistance hideout felt different from the outer caverns.Dorian led the way through a narrow passage that curved sharply to the left, his boots striking the ground with quiet confidence. Eugene followed closely, Max at his side. The murmurs of the larger cavern faded behind them, replaced by low, intense voices ahead.“It seems they’re in a meeting,” Dorian murmured. Dorian slowed as they reached a heavy wooden door reinforced with iron bands. He knocked once, firm and deliberate.The voices inside fell silent then the door swung open.Robin, Sax and other wolves stood there, tall and broad-shouldered.“Bless the Moon” one of the other wolves present said. Behind him, Sax rose from the stone table where maps, marked routes, and scattered weapons lay. His usual stern expression cracked into something dangerously close to relief.“Alpha Eugene,” Sax said hoarsely. “You’re here.”A wolf stepped forward suddenly and clasped Eugene’s forearm in the old warrio

The moment Jack turned the corner and Ava disappeared from view, relief washed through him.He exhaled slowly, rolling his shoulders as if shedding a weight he had been carrying since dinner. "At least she’s not trying to talk me out of it anymore," Jack thought.Ava meant well, he knew that, but he was tired of fear dictating his steps. Tired of whispering, of watching people disappear, of pretending obedience was the same as loyalty.Tonight, he wasn’t walking toward Desmond empty-handed because he had leverage and for the first time since freeing Lira from the dungeon, Jack didn’t feel like the hunted one.His boots echoed softly against the floor as he moved deeper, his thoughts sharp and deliberate. He replayed the naked image once more, not because he wanted to, but because it reminded him why he couldn’t turn back now.Desmond thrived on control, on image, on appearing unassailable. A crack in that armor, especially one involving another woman, would be whispered about, exagg

Flickering lanterns hung from iron hooks along the walls in the resistance meeting chamber, casting restless shadows over the faces gathered around the long wooden table.Eugene stood at the head of the table, both palms resting on the rough surface as he leaned forward. His presence alone seemed to steady the space. Since the night he had addressed the resistance, something had shifted. Dorian stood to Eugene’s right, his arms crossed, his jaw tight as ever. Robin sat opposite him, his fingers steepled, his eyes sharp with strategy. Sax leaned back against the wall, one boot propped behind him, his expression deceptively relaxed though his eyes missed nothing.Several other head members of the resistance filled the remaining seats as they considered what to do about their common enemy. Max sat slightly apart, near the edge of the table, listening.Eugene exhaled slowly. “We don’t have the luxury of time anymore,” he said. “Desmond is tightening his grip. Patrols have doubled in

Jack stood near the eastern corridor, issuing quiet but firm instructions to a small unit of guards.“I want rotations changed every two hours,” he said, his voice steady. “No more six-hour stretches. Fatigue breeds mistakes.”One of the guards nodded. “Yes, sir.”Jack turned away and as he was about to leave, he heard a sharp clatter followed by a loud gasp then the unmistakable sound of something fragile breaking.Jack turned just in time to see a maid crumple to her knees, a wooden tray slipping from her trembling hands. A glass bowl had shattered, wine spreading across the polished floor. The girl herself seemed ready to collapse with it.She looked young, too young. Her face was pale, lips slightly blue, eyes unfocused as if she had been pushing herself far beyond what her body could manage.The guards nearby stiffened, unsure whether to intervene or step back but Jack didn’t hesitate.He crossed the distance in long strides and crouched in front of her before anyone could bark

Seraphina stared at the ceiling and felt nothing but resentment.The room she had been moved into was larger than her previous chambers, almost grand in its excess. It was meant to be comforting, but to Seraphina, right now it felt like a cage.She exhaled sharply and pushed herself into a seated position, silk sheets pooling around her legs. One hand moved instinctively to her stomach, her fingers placed gently over the slight swell beneath her gown.The only thing anchoring her lately. Around the room, healers murmured quietly, their voices deliberately low, pretending not to watch her every movement while watching her all the same. Their eyes followed her like shadows, tracking every shift of posture, every breath that seemed too sharp.Two maids lingered near the door, whispering to one another, their hands folded nervously in front of them as if Seraphina was something fragile instead of a woman who had endured far worse than pregnancy.“I am not ill,” Seraphina snapped sudden
