Lycan King's Cursed and Rejected Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

FINNThe figure stopped a few feet away and chuckled. Even in the dim forest light filtering through the trees, its presence felt wrong."Here I was trying to be sneaky this time," it said, amusement dripping from every syllable.I scoffed. My lip curled in disgust as I glared at the shifting form. "Go learn some propriety," I spat, taking a step back. "And get out of my head. You're not real. I know you're just an illusion and I won't let you mess with my mind."The figure smirked, stepping closer with unnatural grace. "Oh, but I'm real enough, aren't I? You hear me. You see me. You feel my presence. That's all that matters, Finn."I clenched my fists at my sides. "Stay out of my head."It laughed again. "The sooner you accept me, Finn, the better it will be for both of us." It moved even closer. "We're more alike than you'd like to admit. We share the same pain, the same hatred for Kael, and even the same love for a certain silver-haired girl.""I'm not interested in becoming your h

MAYA"I missed you," I murmured to Finn for what felt like the thousandth time since he arrived, resting my head gently against his shoulder as we walked. I hadn’t realized just how deeply I had missed him until this moment."I missed you more," he replied softly, squeezing my hand with that gentle strength I had come to love. "You look beautiful as always and…" He paused as his eyes slowly trailed the length of my body. "Different… but in a really good way. Did I miss out on anything important? I’m sure you’ve been busy too.""I didn’t change," I said quickly, steering the conversation away from my appearance. Since Nymeris had manifested, I had received countless compliments about how I looked. Though I hadn’t felt her presence strongly for the past few days, I chalked it up to the overwhelming stress of preparing for the Harvest Moon Festival.I was dying to run through the forest again with the moon shining brightly above and the wind rushing through my fur. The memory of that pow

MIRIAMI would not let Alaric’s bitterness and hatred tear me apart. I had spent too many years living with regret, drowning in guilt over choices I could never undo. But Maya’s future was still unwritten, still full of possibility. I would fight for my daughter’s happiness no matter what it took, no matter who stood in my way.I made my way toward the bonfire area where many of the younger wolves and visitors had already gathered. The crackling flames cast a dancing glow over the clearing, and laughter rang out as people shared stories and drinks. The festive energy should have lifted my spirits, but my mind was still reeling from the confrontation with Alaric.When I reached the edge of the gathering, I spotted Maya and Finn standing close together near the flames. Maya’s face was lit up with joy as she spoke. Finn watched her with a smile. His eyes were filled with open adoration. Isla stood a little to the side, part of the group but somehow separate. For a moment, my heart swelle

KAELMy heart nearly stopped the moment I saw her.Maya had never set foot in my room before. Seeing her standing there in the doorway felt surreal, like a dream I wasn’t allowed to have. Quickly, I placed the picture frame face down on the counter."Of course," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "Please come in."She entered the room slowly, closing the door softly behind her. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her hands fidgeted nervously at her sides. I could smell her distress. Every instinct in me screamed to go to her, to pull her into my arms and shield her from whatever was causing her pain. But I didn’t want to startle her. So I dug my heels into the floor where I stood and waited, giving her the space she clearly needed."I didn’t know who else to go to," she began. "Callen… he told me I’d find you here."I gestured toward the ornate chair near the window. "Please, sit down."She shook her head firmly. "No, I can’t. I… I need to say this or I might explode."Alarmed by the r

MAYAI stumbled backwards. My heart slammed against my ribs as I tried to process what I was seeing. The man standing in the doorway was no stranger.Selene closed the door behind him with a soft click. A triumphant, almost gleeful expression spread across her face. "I told you, Maya, that you shouldn't mess with me. Now you'll know what it feels like to have your things taken away."Selene moved to stand beside Xander. One would think he was harmless if they didn’t know better. Every nerve in my body was pounding with raw fear. The pieces started falling into place: the mysterious attacks, the strange calm that had settled over the territory, the way everything had been building toward this moment. Plus, Xander’s threat was the last time I had gone into a coma. This event was perfect for him. The priestesses were here. Every Alpha, both werewolf and Lycan, representing all the packs by the sea, was present. The full moon, the same Gemini moon that I had awakened his powers years ba
