Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 391 - チャプター 400

MINA I really escaped.I stumbled forward, hands trembling, and only then did it sink in.My power worked.A shaky laugh slipped out of me. The silence of my power still clung to me, but I felt I could control it better now. Every sound around me was muted when I wanted it to be. The animals sensed me, I knew that much. I felt their awareness brushing against mine, but they didn’t react the way they should have. Their movements slowed when I passed. However, they couldn’t quite decide if I was there or not.I was a gap.A pocket where danger lost its edge.I moved carefully. I had always been good at spotting animals and reading the land. That part of me had survived everything. And now, with my power wrapping around me like a cloak, I was able to move through Montrose without becoming prey.However, strength came at a cost.Each step made my vision blur a little more. I had to stop more than once, pressing a hand to my abdomen and breathing through the nausea. It’s okay, I whisper

MINA My body was already feeling much better. Aiden had taken care of me well. Or rather, his maid had. He himself was rarely around, always coming and going like a shadow. However, I didn’t mind it at all. There was a clear boundary between us. He never asked questions beyond what was necessary, and he never looked at me in a way that made me feel like I owed him anything. I appreciated that more than I could explain.After breakfast, I stood by the wide window in the living room, one hand resting absentmindedly on the glass. The house was isolated, perched on the edge of land that looked untouched by civilization. Tall trees surrounded it, their shadows stretching long across the grass. The silence here felt protective. Carol, his maid, had told me it was Aiden’s new house, saying that his last one got invaded by too many fangirls. I had laughed when she told me the story. Carol was warm and motherly, the kind of woman who hummed while she worked and scolded me gently when I

MINAWe lay on the bed, side by side. He was playing with my hair, slowly winding a strand around his finger and then letting it slip free again. We were in the spare room, not Aiden’s bedroom. Whatever beef he had with Aiden didn’t have anything to do with me, and I refused to cross that line even when he asked me earnestly. “I’m sorry,” I said again, the words slipping out before I could stop them.He clicked his tongue softly. “I told you not to apologize,” he said. “Not once in our entire life should you apologize again to me.”I turned my head slightly so I could look at him. His expression was calm, but there was a firmness there too.“What if I’m wrong?” I asked quietly. “What if I say something wrong? Do I not apologize then, too?” “You still don’t have to,” he replied without hesitation.“That doesn’t make sense,” I murmured.He smiled then. “It makes perfect sense to me. Even if you’re wrong, I’ll be the one to apologize.”I stared at him for a long moment, then shook my h

MINAWe were seated on the couch—just me, Elias, and his parents, with everyone else having been ushered out. Luna Carmen and Alpha Alfie sat across from us with vague expressions. Then their eyes narrowed in the same way at the same time. It was the first time I felt a little bit threatened in their presence. “Since when,” Luna Carmen asked slowly, “have you been pregnant?”I opened my mouth, but Elias answered before I could. “It was the fruit of when we stayed at the extra house.”“Oh goodness,” Luna Carmen exclaimed, clapping a hand to her chest. “That place really does have some magic.”“Mom,” Elias groaned, already rubbing his temple. “Don’t start.”Alpha Alfie leaned back, crossing his arms. “So all this time,” he said carefully, “you were chasing her away when she was pregnant? Is that what I’m hearing here?”Luna Carmen gasped dramatically. “Oh, my poor grandbaby! And my idiot son!” She turned to Elias. “Do you know how terrible that sounds? Chasing away the mother of your c

ELIAS I was convinced I wasn’t nervous anymore when I stood by the altar, but in reality, I was still so freaking nervous. I didn’t know this was how it would feel. Going against my enemies was far more relaxed than this. Standing here, dressed in ceremonial white, hands clasped so tightly in front of me that my knuckles ached, I felt more vulnerable than I ever had in my entire life.The others were already walking in. One by one. Faces I knew. Faces that had seen me at my worst. Rowan entered first, looking bored and emotional at the same time, which somehow suited him. Abel came next, nodding at me once.Even Aiden was here.That still surprised me.He’d scoffed when I invited him, saying he didn’t think I’d get married so soon. I told him plainly that I wouldn’t give him a chance anyway, and he laughed, clapping my shoulder like it didn’t hurt at all. Maybe he’d hit it off with one of my cousins. Maybe not. Either way, he showed up, and for that, I respected him.The music finall
