A Breeder For The Ruthless Alpha king のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Lucy.We stood frozen in the thick, suffocating silence of my chamber. Aurora’s eyes bored into mine like they could rip the truth from my soul. The air between us crackled with tension, heavy and pulsing. For a long time, neither of us said a word. It was as if we were locked in some unspoken duel, a staring contest laced with suspicion and danger.I didn’t know what to say.My mind scrambled for the right words, something to explain the fact that I had unintentionally walked in on her with Kiadan, the palace guard. I hadn’t meant to see anything. Truly. But that didn’t matter. Not to her.“What exactly did you see, Lucy?” Aurora asked finally, her voice low and razor-sharp. It was the kind of voice that made your skin crawl even though it was barely above a whisper.“I didn’t see anything,” I stammered, which was mostly true. I had only caught the tail, Aurora too close to him, his hand brushing her cheek. The look they shared was unmistakable, raw and intimate. And then the kiss.A

Lucy.My fingertips pulsed faintly as I sat near the window, the gentle hum of my power ebbing and flowing like a restless tide beneath my skin. I hadn’t quite figured it out yet, this new ability that seemed to awaken more each day. Sometimes it sparked with my emotions, other times it came in sudden jolts that left me breathless. It wasn’t just power, it was alive, demanding to be controlled or it would control me.I exhaled slowly and let my eyes drift across the garden outside the palace. The roses were in bloom, bold reds and velvety whites. I tried to let the peace of the scene soothe me, but my thoughts kept spiraling back to the same question: What am I becoming?I didn’t hear the door open.“I see the throne room isn’t the only place you occupy without invitation,” I said sharply, turning my gaze from the window.Lady Dowager was already seated in my armchair, legs crossed and back as rigid as ever, a smug expression carved into her face like a permanent feature.“You’re stil

Aurora.It worked just like I predicted. Everyone has started talking about the possibilities of Lucy's infertility.I heard them in the corridors. From the gardens to the grand hallways, the rumor took root like wildfire, blazing through the palace with a life of its own. Lucy is barren. She can’t bear children. Derek must be devastated. A Luna who can’t conceive? Unfit.I stood by the tall, arched window of my chamber, the sunlight casting a golden glow on the stone floor beneath me. I could hear faint murmurs even from here. My lips curled into a smile that I didn’t bother to hide. It was working. Everything was falling perfectly into place.“Mama would be proud,” I whispered, brushing my fingers through my dark curls.It had been our idea, after all. The bloggers had been fed, instructed carefully to bide their time. The photo of Lucy and Derek, the one we knew would spark the greatest scandal, was still tucked safely away, like a dagger sheathed for the perfect moment. But the wh

Lucy.If the gods ever hosted a funeral, I imagined it would look exactly like this.Glittering chandeliers hung like frozen waterfalls from a domed ceiling painted with cherubs, gold-leaf vines twisted along the marble columns, and every guest was adorned in some combination of silk, arrogance, and money. It was breathtaking, yes—but also mind-numbingly boring.The ballroom overflowed with clinking champagne flutes and soft murmurs, the kind of sound that never quite reached your heart. And despite the lavish surroundings, the exquisite food, and the orchestra playing like angels had trained them, I felt... alone.“Try the foie gras,” Beta Ethan murmured beside me, his voice low but annoying. “It’s the only thing here that tastes remotely alive.”I offered him a weak smile but didn’t move to pick up the little dish. “I think I’ve had my fill of rich things with no substance.”He laughed lightly, as if I hadn’t just insulted the entire room. “The Alpha told me to stay by your side ton

Aurora.The moment I got the news, I swore the universe had finally decided to grant me a long-overdue favor.Derek. Lucy. A kiss. Exposed. In front of everyone. And best of all? Alpha Ellison saw it. With his own eyes.I almost dropped my cup of tea, laughing so hard I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from screaming with joy. I paced my room, unable to sit still, practically glowing with satisfaction. The walls could barely contain the thrill that surged through me.I couldn’t wait to tell Mother.I dashed down the golden hallway of the palace, my heeled steps echoing with purpose. Sunlight poured through the tall stained glass windows, but it couldn’t outshine my mood.Mother was in the parlour, reclining gracefully on one of the velvet couches with a glass of wine in hand. She looked up as I entered, eyes narrowing in curiosity.“Something’s got you bouncing like a pup,” she said, setting down her glass.I grinned like a devil. “You are not going to believe what just happened a
