All Chapters of MY SECOND-CHANCE MATE IS A WOLF HUNTER: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The innkeeper examined our group.I held Rowena against my body. I had walked to the inn with her directly strung over my shoulder. It had been a tough walk but I was able to pull it off. I had a thin layer of sweat over my skin. As I entered the inn, I let her feet drop to the ground. I didn’t want to make it look too odd that I was carrying her all by myself.Phoenix stood in the front, he had dropped off Oisin’s hand after we stepped into the inn. I didn’t protest because I knew he was just going to talk to the inn keeper.Roman stood behind with Oisin. The inn keeper had a complicated expression on his face, as if he wasn’t quite expecting a group like ours.I doubted that our worn out clothes were helping his impression.He dropped the glass he had been cleaning and chewed on the stick in his mouth.I had to wonder how many glasses he had to clean. I had definitely been gone for over an hour and most of the nighttime drunks had already retired to their rooms.“What do you mean b

Earlier that evening.I made sure that my entire group were ahead of me on the flight of stairs. It wasn’t very difficult because they all seemed to forget about my condition. Of course that had a lot to do with my own efforts.Even as I looked up the seemingly impossibly high flight of stairs, my head banged. The headache seemed to come and go with unpredictable intervals in between.The innkeeper was helping carry Rowena up the stairs and Morning was focused on him.I took in a deep breath. I couldn’t linger at the bottom for long unless Morning and the others would notice. And I completely refused the idea of Morning carrying me up the stairs in her arms like a baby.I took the first step, it was difficult instantly. I gritted my teeth and pushed past the pain. I kept a steady pace so as not to alert any of them as I followed behind. Every step was difficult.I needed an anchor to escape the pain. My eyes went to Morning and I focused on her hair. It was midnight black and luscious

Another migraine hit me. But luckily it was a lot weaker than the last one. I got off easily as I only had to push against the wall with one hand for support. After I waited for five seconds, most of the pain receded. Worry flashed through my mind. Everyday it seemed like my condition wasn’t getting any better. I was too weak to do anything and I had been in a coma for awhile. I had been a constant burden to Morning and the others, because they had to carry me just to get by. What if I never got better? It never crossed my mind to be worried for myself. Ever since the day I walked away from the church, I had been ready to die for what was right. That was no concern to me. But I was scared that I would die before I could complete my mission. Even with many months of being an outlaw, I had not gotten any great achievement. I had made little progress in my mission. Things were moving forward, especially now. But what if I never recovered. It would be a cruel joke from Sol.

The innkeeper's face turned ashen.I felt the rage boil out of me as I squeezed. The innkeeper tightened his grip on my hand. He must have been trying to bend them away from his neck, but he quickly found that my grip was like iron.His eyes went even wider.The innkeeper was not a slight man, although he wasn't much taller than me. So he was shocked beyond his wildest imagination when he discovered that he couldn't move my hands in the moment.I growled and showed him my teeth.The innkeeper started kicking with his legs as he struggled to breathe.I felt my anger burn hotter.The color of my eyes bled into a dark red.I wanted to rip out his throat.Then an image flashed through my mind.It was the image of a mother holding tightly to her daughter as they both cowered from my red gaze.I dropped the innkeeper like he was a hot stone.He fell to the ground with a loud thud.I took a step back and realized what I had almost done.I looked at my hands. They were covered in veins and m

"About that..."I suddenly found it difficult to talk. The hope on Phoenix's face had been so visible that it was almost a tangible thing.It broke my heart to shatter something like that. How could I tell him the news that I got?Phoenix stared at me and his face fell. He must have noticed my facial expression and immediately deduced that something had gone wrong."Morning where's the doctor?" Phoenix asked again. This time his voice was noticeably less excited.I cringed at his use of my name. It felt as if he was accusing me directly. And it felt even worse because I believed that I deserved to be accused. It was my fault."I..." I still couldn't say it.Phoenix looked down for a second as if to collect himself. Then he looked back at me. His face was now mostly blank as if he had manually removed all of his emotions.I got a grip of myself at the change in his expression. I hated to do this, but I had no choice. It was better if he just found out directly and without any sugar coa
