THE ALPHA WHO SAVED ME WITH HIS MATE BOND のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

ASTRIDThe pain clawed through my body like a wildfire had been ignited within me; the mate bond, a powerful connection, pulled me towards Magnus, even when I was miles away from him. Every pulse of that bond felt like a knife twisting in my gut, and then, just as suddenly, the pain dulled to a throbbing ache. But the bond, that damned bond, kept tingling, reminding me of Magnus.I groaned, clutching my sides as I tried to steady myself; the pain would lessen for a moment, then flare up again. I couldn't ignore it, no matter how hard I tried."Breathe, Astrid," Alpha Atlas's voice broke through my haze of pain, calm and steady. He sat beside me, a cool, wet cloth in his hand. Gently, he pressed it against my forehead, trying to ease my torment. "I know it's difficult, but you must breathe through it. Don't let it consume you."His touch was tender, almost comforting, as he continued to dab at my forehead. But it did little to distract me from the fire coursing through my body. “It’s u

ASTRIDI rushed over to the window and peered out. My heart sank. The drop was too high, and I'd probably break my neck if I jumped. I clenched my fists, frustration bubbling up inside me. There had to be another way.My mind raced as I considered my options. The bedsheets. I could tie them together to make a rope! My fingers trembled as I yanked the sheets off the bed and knotted them together as quickly as possible. I added some of my clothes for extra length, ensuring the knots were tight and secure.I tied one end to the bed frame, tugging on it to test its strength. Satisfied, I tossed the makeshift rope out the window and watched it dangle.I froze just as I was about to climb onto the window ledge. A slight tap on the door made my heart skip a beat. I held my breath, listening intently.“Astrid, it’s me. Nyx.” The voice was soft, barely a whisper, but I recognized it instantly. Relief flooded through me.“Nyx?” I whispered back, edging closer to the door. “What are you doing he

MAGNUSI woke slowly, like a man climbing out of a deep, dark hole. I forced my eyes open and winced from the sun's rays as I groggily took in my surroundings.“I’m glad you are finally awake.”My weak heart sputtered and leapt when I heard her voice before her face appeared above mine.She smiled warmly at me, even though I could see the tears shining in her eyes as she lowered beside me.I turned my head to the side, watching her. I wanted to speak, but my tongue felt like it had been glued to the top of my mouth…and my mouth felt like I'd eaten nothing but wormwood for weeks.She must have noticed me struggling to speak because she pressed a gentle hand to my chest and shook her head, "You need to rest."I didn't listen; I had so much to say…so I took a deep breath and tried to speak again."Where…am I?" I began, sounding and feeling like my tongue was rolling around in my mouth."You are in another pack," she replied, then pressed a finger to my lips when I made to speak again. "Y

MAGNUSI leaned back against the rough wooden wall, wincing as the movement tugged at the wound, still wrapped in thick layers of cloth. The scent of herbs and dried blood lingered in the room.I tried to focus on the room's warmth and comfort, but my thoughts drifted back to her. It was as if every time I closed my eyes, I could see her standing there, dressed in that damn bright yellow dress that clung to her curves in all the right places.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts, but it was useless. She was all I could think about. That dress...it was almost too much. The way it hugged her waist, the soft material brushing against her thighs as she moved. My heart had nearly stopped when I saw her walk in.And her lips. Gosh, those lips. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't take my eyes off them. Full and pink, they called to me, begging to be kissed and claimed. I clenched my fists, trying to suppress the desire building up inside me."Magnus," her voice broke through my th

MAGNUSWe found Atlas waiting outside when we returned from our little run. He was fidgeting and talking animatedly and pointing around. He seemed like a man on the verge of losing everything and was eagerly trying to save the little he had left.Astrid and I slowly approached him. I could feel Astrid's anxiety as she walked beside me. It made me feel bad that she felt that way—as if she was afraid of upsetting Atlas. I wished I could turn off the bond so I wouldn't have to suffer inside knowing that she felt like that.When Atlas noticed us, he dismissed his guards quickly and came running. When he reached us, he pushed me aside and grabbed Astrid by the arm. "Are you okay? You've been gone for long, and I was worried about you!"Atlas was all over Astrid, and it made me feel like tearing his skin off his bones. I could sense his possessive intentions, which didn't sit well with me.Astrid nodded and looked up at him with a smile. “I’m fine. I wasn’t in any danger.”Still, Atlas cont
