THE ALPHA WHO SAVED ME WITH HIS MATE BOND のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

ASTRIDMy eyes fluttered open, the world around me slowly coming into focus. I blinked, disoriented, as a dull ache throbbed through my body. Cold air brushed against my skin, and I shivered involuntarily. It took me a moment to realize that my wrists were bound above my head, and my arms stretched out painfully as I hung from a massive tree. Panic surged through me as I tried to move, only to feel the sharp, burning sting of silver against my skin.I gasped, my breath hitching as I looked down at the chains that held me. They were thick, heavy, and shined in the dim light. The silver cut into my wrists, preventing me from accessing my wolf. The familiar warmth of my wolf’s presence was distant, muffled.“No,” I whispered, struggling against the chains. The more I pulled, the tighter they seemed to grow, biting into my flesh and sending agony through my body. I winced, biting my lip to stifle a scream as I looked around, trying to make sense of where I was.The forest surrounding me w

MAGNUS Sorrow has no one description.To some, it means shedding tears for long hours, and to others, it means drowning themselves in alcohol…or perhaps a mix of both.But it was long, dreary hours of silence and nothingness to me.There were no tears, and there was no alcohol, as I barely had an appetite for anything.It was just…an empty existence where nothing, including me, mattered.Happiness had become a luxury I could not acquire, and sleep had eluded me in its warm embrace.And it was all because of her disappearance.This was what I had been afraid of getting too attached. It never ended well for anyone, not my father or me.I watched the setting sun for a few more minutes before moving away from the window.Sorrow brings out the inner poet in even the most stone-hearted. It was why I found purpose in everything, including a normal thing like the sunset. Astrid was like the sun that chased away the storm clouds that had hung over my head for years. And her disappearance was

ASTRIDI hesitated in front of the door for a few seconds before landing a soft knock on the door and then pushing it open to walk in."Hello, Astrid," Lana greeted without turning around."I hope I'm not being a disturbance," I started, but she smiled warmly over her shoulders as she said, "No, of course not."I mirrored her smile as I walked closer to look at what she was doing.“What's that?”“It's a mixture of herbs,” she answered as she continued to crush them. “Chamomile, lavender and two drops of vampire blood.”I tried to keep the shock off my face as she continued.“The potion from this can cure many illnesses,”"For the wolves?" I asked, and she chuckled before shaking her head."Mostly for the humans." She turned to face me, her eyes sparkling with kindness. "They come to me for help when they are sick."“Do they know who you or the pack members truly are?”"No," she answered, "it's better that way because their resolves and motivations can easily be swayed."I bobbed my he

ASTRID"Luna, Aaron doesn't want to give me my doll!" Bailey, a five-year-old cub, whined. My eyes widened at the name she called me. I glanced around, trying to see if anyone was listening.“Bailey, you can’t call me Luna. My name is Astrid. Why don’t you try that?” I tried to correct her. She stared at me strangely, her eyes wide and clear."Why, Luna?" she asked curiously, as if what she said was right and I was wrong.“That is because I am not your Luna.”"My mommy said you are going to be our new Luna because Alpha Atlas likes you," she smiled widely, showing her two missing teeth in the front.I blushed at her words. That wasn't big news to me as I had already noticed it, but I disregarded it. I still had a mate and wouldn't want to betray the mate bond.“Aaron?” I called, ignoring her words."Yes, Astrid." He ran towards me, smiling sheepishly, holding a small brown doll shaped like a girl."Why did you refuse to give your sister her doll?" I questioned the seven-year-old boy.

ASTRID"Let's go on a run, Astrid." Ayla insisted for the tenth time today."Okay," I answered finally. I didn't want to go alone, fearing I would be kidnapped again, but Ayla was persistent. "I think I would ask Nyx to accompany us. It would be better since she knows the landscape better.""Agreed. C’mon, let's go. Yay!" She exclaimed, performing a happy dance in my head.I chuckled in amusement. "What are you laughing at, Miss Astrid?" Nyx interrupted, startling me as I chatted with Ayla.With a happy smile, I answered, "I was talking to my wolf. Am I allowed to go on a run?" I asked curiously. Atlas's possessive nature was something."Huh, yes, I think."“Good. Let’s go on a run. My wolf is in dire need of one.”"Okay, Miss Astrid." She gave a light bow. I shook my head in exasperation. “Nyx, I told you to call me Astrid.” She smiled sheepishly.“Alright, Miss…..huh….Astrid.” She sounded awkward, but I didn’t mind."See, not so bad, huh? Come on, let's go." I stood up from my seat
