Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

ARDENI ran out of the house like a fire was chasing me down. I felt the urge to cry, but I didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of showing my tears. On my way out, I could hear some of our pack members discussing among themselves. “She finally found out.” “She’s stupid for not seeing it.” “I don’t even know why she was born into that family when she’s clearly talentless.” “Of course, Alpha Jaxon is going to choose Sienna. She, too, had been accepted to Elite Order Academy.” With their words, I hastened my steps and arrived at our front yard. It was there that I allowed myself to cry. Tears ran down my cheeks as I slumped on the grass. All the kisses, stories, and memories shared were for nothing, huh? He was fooling me for two whole years just because he wanted my body!Like the skies wanted to mock my feelings further, the rain poured aggressively, soaking me in seconds. However, even then, I couldn’t feel anything but the ache inside my chest.It was only when the do

ARDEN“Finally,” I sighed in relief as I reached my dorm. I gazed at the semi-tall building before me. With its seven floors, it stood out as a bit more worn compared to the rest of the campus infrastructure. But I can’t complain; it was the most affordable option available. Stepping through the door, I was met with an interior that was even worse than the exterior. Torn couches and broken tables filled the shared area, remnants of what seemed like multiple fights that had occurred without any effort to repair. The woman behind the counter appeared utterly bored, meticulously doing her nails—on her feet. I cleared my throat once, but she held up a hand, silencing me as she focused on her intricate design on her smallest toe. It seemed to be... a cherry? How will that fit on such a small nail?After a moment, she sighed in relief and finally looked at me, still with her foot on the table. “What do you need?” she asked. “Um, I’m a new tenant,” I replied, managing a small smile. “

ARDENCade took his spot next to Jaxon, completing the four Alphas from the different factions. Seeing them like this, I could feel the immense aura radiating from their bodies. They didn’t glance at each other, but the competition between them was clear as day.“These four will determine our stay for the next two years,” Tessa continued, her eyes fixed on the stage with a determined expression. “This year, the stakes are even higher.”I finally turned to her. “What do you mean?”“It’s a monumental moment,” she replied, “because all of the True Alphas are here.”True Alphas. How could I forget?Once upon a time, our country, Fenra, didn’t have any factions.I was born after the Breaking, so I never knew a united Fenra—only stories of the old days, when one Alpha ruled everything. But the power was too concentrated, and many fell into turmoil. Wolves rose in protest, demanding freedom from absolute rule. After much struggle, the public claimed victory. To quell the chaos, Fenra was spli

ARDEN“How do they even know about such data?” I asked, furrowing my brows, my heart racing as a sense of vulnerability washed over me. How can they know who's a virgin or not?“They collected the data during the entrance exam, remember?” Tessa replied, and I froze. The memory surged back—one of the questions had been about it.“But others could lie,” I countered, attempting to brush aside the gnawing fear.“But they won’t,” Tessa insisted. “Virgins have a mark on their scent glands that sets them apart. The school can easily verify the truth.”“Isn’t it… strange, though?” I asked, tugging my hair closer to my scent gland. The notion of hiding the mark for the entirety of the semester hung heavy in the air.“It is strange,” Tessa sighed. “But it’s been this way since Mr. Winters took over as headmaster. He said it was an ode to the Moon Goddess, who symbolizes purity. A leader who can claim someone's purity is deemed worthy.”I exhaled a shaky breath. “But virgins aren’t that rare, ar

ARDENThe chairs scraped against the pristine wooden floor as individuals faced their groups, the wide space alive with small chatter about gossip and future plans. Yet amidst the voices, I could distinctly hear the rapid beating of my own heart.We found ourselves entrapped in an awkward silence. Cade was gazing out of the window, his thoughts drifting far beyond the classroom. Beside me, Rowan’s eyes were glued to the side of my face, his intense stare making my cheeks flush. Meanwhile, Tessa acted engrossed by her laptop, completely immersed in whatever was displayed on the screen.As the silence lingered, I pursed my lips, desperately searching for an opening statement that could ease the tension. Fortunately, the moment was shattered when Miss Loveson came to our group, her cheery demeanor breaking through the suffocating surroundings.“Well, well… if this isn’t an interesting team. Alpha Cade of the North, Alpha Rowan of the South, and two beautiful ladies,” she greeted, a warm
