Second Chance Luna Mated to Ex's Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

(Third-person's POV)Relief washed over Amber's face when she saw Dominic Blackwood standing in the doorway. His commanding presence immediately shifted the atmosphere in the room. Since entering the Blackwood household, Amber had been running on pure adrenaline—tense, exhausted, in pain, and relying solely on her wolf's strength to keep her upright.Dominic's arrival was like a pressure valve releasing. The facade she'd maintained while defending Lucas crumbled instantly.She rushed to him, surprise evident in her voice. "What are you doing here?"Dominic's piercing blue eyes took in her disheveled appearance—his oversized clothes hanging off her small frame, the visible bruises peeking from beneath the collar, the exhaustion written across her face."What am I doing here?" His deep voice carried a hint of irritation. "I should be asking why you're rushing into situations without thinking."Amber leaned into him, suddenly aware of how completely drained she felt. "I didn't want

(Ryan's POV)I grimaced as another wave of pain shot through my ribs. Even with our werewolf healing abilities, broken bones were no joke. The hospital room felt too small, too sterile, and Dominic's late arrival only worsened my mood."Took you long enough," I growled as he finally strolled in, looking irritatingly casual in a gray sweater and sweatpants.Dominic raised an eyebrow. "I was busy.""Do you know what I had to do while you were 'busy'?" I hissed, keeping my voice low despite my anger. "I had to use a urinal. In front of Paige."A slight twitch at the corner of his mouth betrayed his amusement. "That sounds... uncomfortable.""Uncomfortable doesn't begin to cover it!" I shifted and immediately regretted it as pain lanced through my side. "And what are you wearing? Since when does the mighty Alpha heir dress like he's heading to a sleepover?"Dominic glanced down at his attire. "Amber likes this sweater. She's worn it before." His voice softened slightly. "It still ca

(Victoria's POV)April Fool's Day had arrived, and with it came an unusual flurry of activity at the Chase Pack House. I watched as omega servants scurried about, polishing silverware and arranging fresh flowers with meticulous care.This wasn't for me, of course. It was all for Amber and her new husband, Dominic Blackwood.I smoothed down my carefully selected dress, a deep emerald that complemented my eyes and hugged my curves in all the right places. The house hadn't been this spotless since the last time we hosted the Alpha King himself."Make sure those crystal glasses are spotless," my mother ordered a nervous-looking omega. "And check that venison again—it needs to be perfect."My wolf growled inside me, bristling with jealousy. Just months ago, Amber was the family disappointment, the stubborn daughter who refused to follow pack protocols. Now, simply because she'd managed to snag Dominic Blackwood—the heir to the Alpha King throne—everyone was falling over themselves to p

(Amber's POV)The past two months had been surprisingly peaceful. After my productive visit to the Chase Pack House, where I'd managed to fill my car with valuable pack artifacts, life had settled into an almost pleasant rhythm.Family dinners at the Blackwood pack home during both the Spring Moon Festival and the May Full Moon celebration had passed without incident. Even Ivy Reed, Dominic's troublesome sister-in-law, had been subdued since the healing crystal incident. Melissa James was too preoccupied with her strained relationship with Olivia Blackwood to cause me any trouble. Ethan had redirected his energy toward pack business and his rivalry with Lucas.Victoria was away on a territorial diplomacy trip, and even my mother hadn't bothered me with her usual criticisms.I used this period of tranquility productively, focusing on my supernatural photography and preparing for the reopening of Moonlight Photography. My creative inspiration had been returning gradually, bringing

(Amber's POV)I woke up the next morning with my hand still throbbing. The memory of smashing the pack portrait flooded back, making me cringe. Dominic had witnessed my complete meltdown, yet he hadn't mentioned it once since we returned home."Cora, we made quite a scene," I whispered to my wolf.She whimpered in response, still embarrassed by our loss of control. Normally, I'd have been mortified, but something about Dominic's quiet acceptance made it easier to bear.I glanced at the empty space beside me. Dominic had left early, mentioning something about staying at the Chase Pack House to speak with Harrison. What they discussed, I had no idea.My phone buzzed with a text from Lucas: "Uncle Dom still at your parents' place. Want me to spy?"I smiled despite myself. "No need. He'll tell me if it's important."When Dominic finally returned that evening, he said nothing about the incident or his conversation with my father. His silence was a gift I hadn't expected but deeply ap
