Game of hearts: The Ruthless Alpha and his warrior bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

CELESTE“Selene!” I snarled, launching towards her voice, my heart hammering rapidly against my chest, but Edgar grabbed me from behind.“What in the seven kingdoms do you think you are doing? We have to go!” he demanded, his hands around my waist like an iron vice.“I'm going to save Selene!” I wrenched free. For a breath I was free — then he clamped down again.“Let go of me, Edgar.” I warned. My hands slid over his forearms; trying to pry his hands off me, he was stronger than me in my current state.“I am not letting you go. We have to go. It's an ambush.”Did he think I didn’t know that?“It’s not safe, stop fighting me. Fuck!” Edgar growled when I stabbed his hand with the hilt of my dagger.He flinched, but didn’t let me go. The more I kicked, the tighter his grip.Edgar succeeded in dragging me through the hallway, his sword in hand as he did. A few guards came to his side.“Your majesty this way,” one of them said.Edgar said nothing. All I heard was the creaking sound of a

Celeste My heart pounded as we mounted our horses and rode into the night.Edgar brought only six of his men.Including Maverick.The creepy Beta was surprisingly agile, and commanding.Lyra was leading the way behind my horse, scared and shaky like the wind was her enemy.I couldn't bring myself to care.All I cared about was finding Selene, and I wasn't afraid to cut down, kill to find her.The entire kingdom was lit with the sun god’s symbols, and lanterns shaped like the sun.Lamps were scattered about.The streets were deserted now, wolves and she-wolves had gone back into their homes after the attack in the palace.“How much farther are we?” I asked Lyra.“Not far, your majesty.” She said,Edgar was beside me on his own horse.He took a glance at me ever so often, his jaw clenched.I could tell he already thought nothing good was going to come out of this mission.We arrived at an enclave-unassuming and actually lively with people still celebrating.Lyra nodded faster than it

Celeste“Are you okay?” I asked Selene as we destroyed the chains, and bright hr down.“Celeste,” she managed to choke out, her eyes closing even though she was trying to open them.“What did they do to you?” I asked, feeling all over body. She was burning up.I carried her, and placed her on one of the chairs scattered about, my hands shaking uncontrollably.“Control yourself, Celeste.” my wolf growled.“What happened?” I asked her “We need to leave now… they are coming.” She managed to say,her voice a strained whisperJust then we heard footsteps.Lyra rusjed to Selena to hold her upI took my stance, my sword waiting.Slowly, I walked towards the entrance.Edgar stopped me from moving any further.I narrowed my eyes at him, bit he shook his head…He signalled for Maverick to take a stance close to the wall.While he walked towards the wall, his sword ready to swing at anytime.“It's the royal guard!” Lyra suddenly said and my head whipped towards her, shutting her up with my finge

Celeste I stepped out of the infirmary after the doctor had checked up on Selene and confirmed she was still too weak.The bastards that had kidnapped her had given her something strong to make her loopy enough to extract information from her.He said it was some kind of aphrodisiac, and it had caused exhaustion.I was on my way to bed chambers, my mind buzzing with too much information.Selene’s revelation or half revelation still scared me.I really had not anticipated any of this.Especially Lyra.Now that I was over the initial shock, all I could think about was getting rid of her. She was too dangerous.But then if she falls in the wrong hands…My eyes widened.I couldn't discard her. That would be a horrible strategy, and I wasn't going to spill innocent blood.I could use her. Edgar was hard to read, maybe I could use her to get all of his secrets.Yes!The only problem was that this was a double edged sword.She could easily be captured and tortured for secrets.I opened my

CelesteI left the council room slowly, still hearing Edgar’s words echo in the back of my mind. “The only way I can lose my head is if I will it.”He said it so casually, as if death itself bowed to him.The air outside the chamber was cool, but it did little to settle the storm building inside me. I needed to think. To breathe. To be away from his stare that seemed to see through everything I tried to hide.The corridor stretched ahead, long and quiet. Guards stood on either side, their silver armor glinting under the morning light that poured through the stained-glass windows. I nodded at them briefly, not wanting to draw attention. My head was pounding from lack of sleep.Breakfast was already being prepared in the grand hall, the scent of baked bread and roasted meat lingering in the air, but I had no appetite. I waved Sylvester over instead.“Bring my breakfast to my room,” I told him.He hesitated. “Yes, my lady.”I didn’t want to sit among the nobles and pretend that every
