I Left My Husband For The Rogue King의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

WINTER'NO!'I shook my head, panic clawing at my chest.This couldn’t be happening! There was no way the man standing before me was my mate. But the harder I fought against it, the more that insistent pull surged inside me.My wolf recognized him, craved him, and that undeniable bond gnawed at the edges of my reason. If I surrendered to it, I'm afraid it would swallow me whole.So with a sharp movement, I slapped Valtor’s hand away from my face.“Don’t touch me,” I warned.Surprise flickered in his eyes for the briefest moment. But just as quickly, his composure returned. “There’s a bruise on your face,” he said flatly.I lifted my fingers to the spot where his touch had lingered. “It’s from training earlier but it doesn’t bother me. You don’t need to pity me.”I tore my gaze away from him, afraid that if our eyes met again the bond tugging at me would flare to life. I still couldn’t accept it. How could Selene be so cruel as to bind me to him?From what I know Rogues had mates just

WINTERA week passed and in that time Valtor was rarely at the castle. Which was a blessing because whenever he was away, the pull I felt toward him dulled and at least it didn’t torment me so much. I had abandoned whatever hope I might have carried for this bond after Loran’s explanation that day.I remember Loran also said Valtor already had a mate, and a Rogue who had once claimed a mate would never take another.“If you’re bored here you can always wander around, just make sure not too far from the castle,” Loran suggested as we were dining together. “There’s an apple grove not far from here and a hot spring with a waterfall."“I’ve seen the waterfall before, I’m allowed to go there?”“Of course. The maids often bathe there after their work, it’s free for anyone to enjoy.”The thought drew a smile to my lips. I had to admit that spending time in my room after training was beginning to weigh on me. So taking Loran’s advice, I decided to go after dinner. He had already left to atten

WINTERLoran asked me some questions on our way back to the castle but my mind was too scattered to focus let alone answer him properly. I could barely think straight after what had just happened with Valtor, after the way he had left me so suddenly after our heated make-out.Because honestly, how could he do that?He just walked away as though nothing had happened. As though he hadn’t played my body and mind, stirring my hunger and abandoning me in its ashes. That man was merciless.“You should go back to your room and rest, you seem to have a lot on your mind," Loran said gently, pulling me from my thoughts. "See you tomorrow.”“See you tomorrow,” I echoed, nodding faintly before turning down the corridor toward my chambers.The halls were oddly silent, there was no sight of guards or maids bustling around with their chores. When I reached my room, I shut the door and collapsed onto the bed. I wanted to sleep and shut everything out, but of course, sleepiness refused to come. Inste

VALTORSome wolves were born with the gift of rapid healing and I was one of them. Thanks to that, I was back on my feet two days later. That night, though, I never would have expected the stab if not for the figure who slipped into my room and startled me.Winter.Now as I think about it again, I can't help but realize how odd the timing was.How had she arrived at the exact moment an intruder coming?“She’s still getting ready now. She said she'll be here asap,” Loran stopped next to the table and said before settling into his chair. I hadn’t seen Winter since that day I opened my eyes after the attack. So this morning I asked Loran to summon her so we could have breakfast together.There's a lot i want to asks to her.Ten minutes passed and my patience frayed.Loran rose as I pushed back my chair, about to go to Winter's room when suddenly a scent hit me. A sweet blend of honey, wild berries, and warm milk. I hadn’t smelled anything like it since my mate died. For a moment I was

WINTERJust as I was about to fasten the button at the small of my back, my fingers slipped because of the oil stain. I let out an annoyed breath.If I didn’t get this done, they would be late.“Loran,” I called faintly. “Can you come here, please? I need your-"My words died when movement closed in so quickly that a broad, warm palm rested against the skin of my back.“Help?” Valtor asked. His voice wasn’t exactly angry, but the chill in it made goosebumps rise along my spine. “You want him here and your bare back fully exposed?”“Valtor-"“You want to see Loran die?”“No! I-I just needed help. I thought everyone was busy except-" A small gasp escaped me when his hand tightened at my waist and I was slammed against his hard chest.“But that will happen if anyone, him included, sees my mate’s skin even for an inch. I never liked sharing what’s mine.”His breath ghosted across my neck. “Valtor don’t-" My protest dissolved into a stiff, involuntary whimper as he bent to kiss the side o
