THE ALPHA WANTS A TASTE OF ME のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Polly sat at the vanity table, dabbing concealer under her eyes and blending it out in soft, careful movements. Her skin still tingled from Rael’s touch, and even after the warm shower, her cheeks remained flushed.Rael had suggested they shower together, his exact words had been, “It’s only fair I wash your back after how many times you’ve scratched mine”—but Polly had stared at him like he’d grown another head, her cheeks flushing a dark shade of pink, before darting into her own room, his laughter resounding in the air.Now, her blush was betraying her. Again.A knock came on the adjoining door. She jumped a little, then tried to dab powder over her face to hide the pink before standing to open it.Rael stood on the other side, still buttoning his shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, the crisp white fabric hugging his chest.“Are you ready?” he asked, raising a brow.“Almost,” she muttered, her eyes tracing his body before she gulped and looked away. Was Rael getting more handsome by

Polly stared at his back as he pulled her down the large hallway, people clearing from the path as he moved with precision.Rael led her to the rooftop, which overlooked the city, and only then did he let her go. The sun had lowered into the blanket of clouds, and the moon was already rising from the west. A cold wind fluttered her lashes as she rubbed the part of her hand he had held, her eyes fixed on the ground.“Polly…” he called, but before he could say anything else, she beat him to it.“It’s what you must do. I understand.”She raised her eyes to him with a soft smile. “The only thing is, I just wasn’t prepared for this. But I’ll get used to it. The most important thing is that we are able to keep the pack safe.”“I’m sending them back,” Rael said curtly as he stared at her. Polly looked into his eyes as her throat tightened.She didn’t want to read his thoughts. She didn’t want to see if he truly meant what he said. She didn’t know which would hurt more—the fact that he lied t

“Why is she not waking up? What the hell happened to her?”Rael barked as he stared at the body lying helplessly on the bed. Her fingers and neck was purple, and she was a pale as a ghost.The doctor trembled as he looked to the ground, willing it to open up and swallow him whole.“Did you not hear me? Where were her maids? What happened? Why did you leave her? Guards, seize them!”The maids screamed as they were immediately seized by the guards and dragged out.“We don’t know what happened to her, Alpha! Please. She asked that she be left alone. Please!”The girls screamed, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.Rael’s anger burned. The veins on his forehead were protruding. His fingers trembled as he sat down by the bed and held her hand, tears threatening to bubble to the surface.Was this how he was going to lose her too?“Alpha, this seems very identical to the symptoms we saw on the former Luna before she died,” the doctor spoke as he drew closer, taking a closer look at her.The fo

Catherine’s hands were still trembling as she stood before the broken glass scattered across the floor.The door creaked open after a few minutes. The guard stepped in with the High Priestess, Ronir. She dropped to her knees the moment she entered, bowing her head low.“My lady… forgive me.” Her voice quivered. “I do not understand what went wrong. The curse should have ended her life. It has never failed before—never!”Her words only fanned the flames in Catherine’s chest. She strode forward, her palm cutting across the air before landing squarely on Ronir’s cheek.Smack!The sound rang through the chamber. The Priestess staggered sideways, clutching her face as blood trickled from the corner of her lips.“You dare speak of failure to me?” Catherine hissed, her voice sharp enough to slice through stone. “Do you forget whose protection keeps your family alive? One command

The hall was already filling when Polly walked in, hand in hand with Rael.She was dressed in bright red, lips painted to match. The color stood out against the muted silks and earth tones of the others.The moment the people saw her, they froze.They weren’t expecting her to come. News had spread that she had pretended to be unwell to cancel the engagement, so no one had expected her to show up—especially not in such grand style.What the hell was she wearing?Polly’s smile didn’t waver as people turned to greet them, some bowing, some only whispering behind their hands.Rael led her to the throne and pulled out her chair before taking his seat beside her. Elders of the council were already in their places on both sides, their faces unreadable. Some were having small talks, while others were just sipping from their glasses.The nobles of the Bloodmoon Pack filed in slowly. Some stepped forward to greet Polly and Rael,
