My Arch Nemesis in my Bed のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 191 - チャプター 200

The key kept slipping through Maya’s fingers and she had to try three times before she finally got it in the lock, which was pathetic considering she used to be able to do this drunk in heels, but right now she could barely stand upright without the door frame holding her up.Blood was dripping down her arms and soaking into her shirt and she was pretty sure at least two of her ribs were broken based on the way it hurt to breathe, and the worst part was her healing was barely working.She’d been thrown into cars before during training, had taken hits that should have killed her, and her wolf always put her back together within minutes. But whatever Lily had done to her with that violet light wasn’t just physical damage, it was something else, something that was keeping her body from fixing itself the normal way.The door finally swung open and Maya stumbled inside, leaving bloody handprints on the frame she’d probably have to clean up later if she didn’t want to attract attention but

Luca had been sitting in the same chair for the past six hours watching the sun come up through the window while his phone sat on the desk in front of him. Several calls to Lily and she hadn’t answered a single one, which meant she was either still furious with him or her phone was dead, and he was betting on the first option because Lily is the type of person to keep her phone charged specifically so she could ignore his calls. The council meeting had started at dawn in the great hall downstairs and Luca could hear their voices even from his office. He knew what they were discussing because he’d been in the room for the first two hours before they’d dismissed him so they could deliberate privately, which was code for “we don’t trust you to vote objectively on this.” And Luca already knew which way the vote would go because he’d seen the expressions on their faces when Aurora had explained that the spell was breaking faster than anyone had predicted, that they had maybe a week befo

I told Naomi to stay in the car and she argued with me for a solid five minutes telling me I was being stupid and reckless and probably going to get myself killed, which honestly was all valid criticism but I was going anyway.“If you die I’m going to be so mad at you,” Naomi said through the window as I grabbed the map from the passenger seat.“Noted,” I said, and then I started walking before she could come up with more reasons why this was a terrible idea.The trail up into the Cascade Mountains wasn’t really a trail at all, more like a series of suggestions about where to walk that involved a lot of ducking under branches and climbing over fallen logs, and I was starting to seriously regret not bringing better shoes.I’d stolen the map from Jessica’s desk while she was in class because I knew if I asked she’d stop me or tell Luca where I was going, and right now I needed to do this before and everything becomes irreversible.The sun was setting behind the mountains and the tempera

I barely had time to register what was happening before he wasn’t human anymore.This wasn’t like when Luca shifted, wasn’t like any werewolf I’d ever seen.He grew until he was towering over both of us, easily twelve feet tall, his body covered in silver-white fur that seemed to glow in the dim lightThis was a pure Lycan in full form, the apex predator that had ruled the supernatural world for millennia, and looking at him I understood completely why the vampires had been so desperate to wipe them out.“Dad, NO!” I screamed, but he was already moving.He lunged at Luca with his claws extended and his jaws open, and Luca was shifting mid-dive to meet him, and they were about to collide in a mess of teeth and claws that would probably kill one or both of them.Something inside me just snapped.Power exploded outward from my chest in a wave of violet light so bright it hurt to look at, and both Arden and Luca were thrown backward like they’d been hit by a shockwave.Arden crashed into

I woke up on what might have been the most uncomfortable cot in the history of uncomfortable cots with a crick in my neck The first thing I registered was the sound of the guard shift changing which meant it was probably six in the morning even though my body was convinced I’d only been asleep for about twenty minutes.The second thing I registered was Luca standing outside my father’s cell.He wasn’t looking at me, just staring at my father through the bars with his hands shoved deep in his pockets.I sat up and the cot made this horrible creaking sound that made both of them turn to look at me, and the expression on Luca’s face when he saw me was so carefully blank it actually hurt.“You slept down here,” he said, and it wasn’t a question but I answered anyway.“Yeah.”His jaw did this thing where it clenched and unclenched and I watched him struggle with whatever he wanted to say before settling on “The council’s convening in an hour.”“I know,” I said, swinging my legs off the co
