Lycan King's Cursed and Rejected Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 291 - チャプター 300

ISLAThe bed where I'd left her was empty, the blankets thrown aside. Signs of a hasty departure were everywhere. "Damn it, Maya," I muttered. Why couldn't she have listened to me just this once?A noise outside made me freeze. Voices, growing closer. Flashlights were cutting through the trees."Check the old groundskeeper's place.""Alpha says she might be hiding nearby."They'd found us. I needed to get out and find Maya before they did. But where would she have gone in her condition?I slipped out the back window just as the search party reached the front door. Crouching in the bushes, I watched as they broke in, their flashlights sweeping the insides of the shelter."It's empty," one of them called. "But the bed's been slept in. She was here.""Spread out," ordered Finn's assistant's voice. "She can't have gotten far in her condition."Condition? It means Finn had purposely left Maya in my Father's private study to make use of her later on. I'm sure his assistant must have seen ho

MAYAFire. That's what my eyelids felt like: a burning, scorching fire.My body was a collection of aches. It was as if each muscle was woven with pain, and they were currently screaming in protest as I came to consciousness slowly. Even breathing hurt; my lungs were raw as though I'd inhaled smoke for hours.Despite the pain, I finally forced my eyes open. The light pierced like needles, and I blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of my surroundings. An unfamiliar ceiling came into focus, wooden beams with strange carvings I didn't recognize. The walls were a warm amber color, adorned with handwoven tapestries depicting women all dressed in white, wearing flower crowns on their heads and running through moonlit forests.Where was I?My mind felt sluggish as I tried to remember. It was as if it didn't want to put in the work, and the more I tried, the more the back of my head throbbed with pain. But I was able to remember fragments of memories. I remember the shelter in the woods, Isl

MAYAThe ring felt heavy on my finger now. When Kael had first proposed, I had been giddy with joy, but now it was different. Marriage was the last thing on my mind, not with the knowledge of how to defeat the Dark One in my mind, too.I contemplated telling him about the contents of my father's letter, but I knew he wouldn't understand.I stared at the ring for the longest time, then lifted my head to smile at him."We will get married," I started, "But can we do it after this fight with the Dark One?""What difference does it make?" he said quietly. I need to know that I can never be separated from you. These past few weeks without you here, I went insane. I don't want that anymore.""This is…sudden," I managed to say. "We're in the middle of a war. I've been unconscious for days. Finn… Xander is raising armies against us. And you want us to get married? Don't you think that would be too insensitive of us?""Don't say that, Maya. I'm sure everyone will agree that this has gone on fo

FINNI paced furiously around the war room, trying to suppress the rage building within me every second, threatening to blow at any moment. Five Alphas, the Core Alphas of the South, stood before me in a straight line. Each of them wore a mask of indifference, or should I say doubt.I could smell their fear and worse, their doubt.I couldn't believe that the men I had sent after Maya let her slip through their fingers, only to discover that, according to the spies, she was at the Moon Temple and had healed properly."Incompetence!" I slammed my fist on the large table in the room, scattering maps and markers. "I'm surrounded by absolute incompetence!"Behind me, a guard knelt, trembling. He was pathetic. His fear-scent fouled the air, making my nostrils flare in disgust."I watched from afar," he stammered, eyes fixed on the floor. "She sang strangely, and the Ferals stopped attacking the women.""Of course they would," I snapped, whirling to face him. "She's a Moonwhisperer. That's w

FINNI threw open Luna Seraphina's door with enough force to rattle the hinges. The sound echoed through the room like a gunshot, but she didn't even flinch. That irritated me more than if she'd screamed.She sat in her rocking chair by the window, cradling her bastard. The sunlight streaming in cast her in an almost angelic glow, but I knew better. Seraphina was no angel; she was a conniving, manipulative bitch who'd been avoiding me for days."You could have walked in on me naked, Alpha Finn," she said calmly, not bothering to look up from her child. "What do you want?""What do I want?" I scoffed, stalking further into the room. "I've asked to see you a million times, but it's the same excuse every time. May I know why?"The baby gurgled, and Seraphina adjusted the blanket around his tiny form. Her movements were unhurried and deliberate, another subtle act of defiance."My child was sick," she replied. "You don't expect me to come running to you like an Omega, do you? Have you for
