Bound by Twisted Fate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

I walked out the door and found King Reagan standing with beta Miranda on the porch. He was looking out at the star lit sky while Miranda’s eyes scanned the surroundings as if seeking danger.Finally, her eyes settled on me and narrowed with disapproval. But she didn’t say a word. That was always Miranda, few words but could show you how she felt about you in a moment’s notice and right now, I didn’t feel like being body slammed.Thankfully, at that moment, King Rowan turned around and he gave me a small grin.Not the reaction I had been expecting.“Thane step out with me, please.” He spoke as he gestured.Miranda was still giving me a hard look. All in all I had embarrassed the king and the entire werewolf council out there. I didn’t know what to expect.I stepped out into the cool air regardless. I had never been one to shy from dealing with consequences.“That, back there was irresponsible extremely irresponsible, son.” King Reagan immediately spoke. “Not fitting of a future king

“I never thought this day would come.” Lyra sighed as she propped herself up onto the table.I was underneath the kitchen sink using a wrench to tighten up the leak Mary had been complaining about all week.“What day? You mean the day I would be at loggerheads with the council and on probation having my title practically stripped away?”I asked dryly.Lyra swung her feet looking thoughtful. “I mean, those things are horrible and all but what I meant was that I never thought I’d see the day you’d actually be relaxed.”When I couldn’t twist the wrench any longer I twisted it off before setting it down.I slid out of the cabinet and sat up dusting my hands.“I’m not relaxed, Lyra.” I spoke with a huff.I didn’t want to admit it but I was beyond stressed. Being an alpha is all I had ever known. All I had been training for since I was a kid.King Reagan essentially striping me of all my responsibilities and duties made me restless. Made me feel like I had no purpose.Who was I when I wasn’

I turned and looked at Thane.He had rid himself of his shirt. Which wasn’t uncommon on the beach but dang it, not everyone looked like him!I tried not to let my eyes drift down to his six back and toned chest.“Hey.” I spoke trying to appear casual.I looked around feeling more eyes on us than before.Curiosity or fury? I couldn’t tell.All I knew is that I would only have to budge a little bit to feel my shoulder brush against his.“Where’s Landon going?” Thane asked.I looked in the direction Landon had just now disappeared with Susie. “To either make up with his ex or make things worse? I don’t know, it’s a coin toss really.”Thane chuckled. I turned to look at him feeling a warmth in my gut. I loved that sound. I wanted to hear it all the time.The wind was blowing on his long locks and all I wanted to do was run my hands through them to see how soft it was.“Enjoying your ‘fresh air’?” He asked dryly, a small smirk playing on his face. Or as much of a smirk as he would allow.I

This time my dream was even more frightening. Everything seemed… dark.I wasn’t at our manor anymore but roaming around the town square and everything was in ruins.The streets were deserted. I couldn’t hear a sound.No chattering of our civilians on the streets, no kids laughing.The bright, clear skies I was used to seeing were dark. Like someone had switched off the sun.I felt an uneasy feeling pass through me as I stilled. “Hello?” I spoke.I could already sense that something was wrong. “Hello!” I yelled again.All I could hear were crickets. I turned swallowing hard knowing I needed to get back to the manor somehow. I needed to go home and make sure my family was okay.“Piper!” I shot up alert when I heard the familiar voice of my nephew yelling out.I looked around frantic. “Mason?” I screamed in response. “Mason?”There was no response.I heard a gust of wind blow by and another scream.I spun around and saw a pair of dark forms in the distance devouring a form on the floor

“Do I get to do anything?” I grumbled in irritation as I picked on the grass below me.I thought they had said this ‘hunt’ was supposed to be fun.But here I was sitting cross legged on the grass, my back against the car watching everyone do something except me.“It is fun. Once it starts.” Rian spoke with a shrug I looked up at the two bodyguards Thane had planted on me.Rian had retrieved a guitar from Lord knows where while Fiero was gazing around looking for threats that weren’t there.Well, not if you considered some of the folks who were walking by and shooting me murderous glances.I sighed. Guess I was hoping for too much if I expected the suspicion and hatred to disappear overnight.I spotted Landon in the distance helping to clear away some logs.I perked up when he looked my way and gave a little wave hoping he would come and keep me company.But all he did was give me a hard look before casting his eyes away.I deflated.“This blows.” I spoke.“Want me to play you a song,
