My Sister's Fiance, My Fated Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

**Elena**I couldn’t hide the blush heating my cheeks as Xavier finally stepped out of my room.“I’ll see you off,” he had said, so casual, trying to make everything perfect after the date.But it wasn’t far at all, my door was just a few steps down the hallway.Still, my heart had fluttered at those four small words.He’s so sweet, I thought, pressing my palms to my face.Then my stomach twisted with a strange ache.Wait. Why am I even this happy about him walking me to my own door?And why am I blushing like some silly schoolgirl?Get a grip.He’s probably just being polite.Or worse, is he... is he falling in love with Helena?I bit my fingers, feeling jealousy rise up like a wave.“You’re being ridiculous,” I whispered to myself, leaning against the doorframe.Still, the thought wouldn’t go away.I could hear my own heart thudding loud in my ears.What if all those glances and gentle words weren’t meant for me at all?What if they were meant for her?“Stop it,” I muttered, shaking

**Elena**“Since when did you get to start asking me questions, Helena?” she snapped, her gaze filled with hatred.That long, hard stare dug into me like she already suspected something was off. My hands felt clammy, and my heart thudded against my ribs.I swallowed.I knew this would come eventually.“Don’t think I’ll forget our grudge just because you’re married to the Alpha now,” she said, turning her back.I felt my stomach knot up. Of course Lauren wouldn’t let that go so easily.But that limp.I just couldn't overlook it.Not at this point.“I was just curious about your limping,” I blurted, my voice a bit too fast.She spun back around and shot me a death stare. “Learn to mind your business, Helena.” She pointed a finger at me before turning away again.That was it.No.I couldn’t just let her walk away like this.Acting on impulse, I grabbed her by the arm before my nerves could catch up. My grip was tight, more desperate than I expected.“We need to talk,” I said, pulling he

**Elena**“Xavier!” I screamed as I watched his fist slam into Adolfo’s face.My heart jolted up into my throat.“What about his temper” ? The memory flickered in when Lauren had spoken about his temper..And here it was, exactly what she’d feared.I flew down the staircase, my hands gripping the railing so tightly my knuckles ached.Would Xavier lose himself completely?“Stop!” I called, my voice cracking as I rushed across the marble floor.The guards hovered nearby, tense but hesitant..they knew better than to jump in when Xavier was like this.Adolfo was smirking up at him, blood already trailing from the corner of his mouth, and that smug, innocent look on his face made my stomach twist.He wasn’t scared at all.And that scared me.“Please, stop,” I whispered as I grabbed Xavier’s arm, tugging him back.Before I could do more, a sharp voice cut through the air..“What’s going on here?”Aunt Lena.She appeared at the bottom of the stairs, her eyes flashing between Xavier and Adolf

**Elena**What do you mean I can’t come along, my king? The words burst out of me, louder than I intended. My chair scraped against the polished floor as I shot to my feet. My voice echoed across the dining hall.Xavier’s head snapped up. His eyes fixed on me like I’d crossed a line. I watched as his fist came down on the table with a loud thud, making the plates rattle.“You’ll obey me. And you will not talk back to me,” he said.His glare could have killed me in seconds.But damn it, I wasn’t going to sit there and take it.“Oh, don’t think you can scare me,” My hands balled into fists at my sides. My voice shook “I’ll come with you to the event. I’m your wife…for fuck’s sake!”A bitter laugh escaped his lips. “My wife in the eyes of the pack, Helena. Get that into your head. And like I said, it says family invites only.”Family invites? My blood boiled. My eyes darted across the hall, landing on Trisha. She sat there, acting all sweet and innocent, but I saw that smug little

**Elena**An aching sound hummed at the back of my skull, like a hammer striking metal over and over again. My eyes fluttered open.Blurry.The walls were up, but I was down. Everything was upside down… My body felt twisted, numb. The coldness beneath me wasn't unusual… the floor.Where… am I?Then I saw it. The rusted metal sheets, broken glass scattered everywhere, I was at a goddamn abandoned warehouse.“Good. You’re finally awake,” a voice came, his face looming above me, no, below…wait, no, I was the one upside down.Adolfo.A creepy smile formed on his face.My wrists ached, rope biting into my skin. The room smelled of dampness, sweat, and dried blood.My blood.My brain scrambled to connect the last memory.Water.. Slap..The dizziness. “You…” I spat at him, my saliva pouring right on his face. “Let me go, you bastard!”He flinched. Slowly, he wiped his face, his eyes narrowing, and then, he grinned. “Feisty,” he muttered, before grabbing the back of the chair and yanking i
