Casey’s Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I froze for a moment, almost laughing from anger. “Why should I resign?”Casey looked down at me, his eyes cold. “Wolves like you lack the decency to be a lecturer. I won’t entrust Victoria to someone like you.”My chest tightened, and I struggled to suppress the furious stirrings of my wolf.“No.”He let out a short, humorless laugh, as if he had expected that answer.“That’s fine. Then, I’ll transfer Victoria to another academy. As for the research equipment I promised to donate… Since the contract hasn’t been signed, I’ll take it back.”The dean’s expression changed instantly. He tried to smooth things over. “Perhaps there’s been some misunderstanding? Why don’t we sit down and discuss—”Casey cut him off with a dismissive wave. “No need. I’m not interested in speaking with this lecturer.”He then turned his sharp gaze to me. “If she doesn’t resign within three days, we’ll leave.”With that, he turned and walked away.The dean and several others stood by, offering me silen

Panic seized me, the plea for help stuck in my throat. Clenching my teeth through the tremors racking my body, I forced out the words, “Wrong number.”On the other end, Casey let out a sneer. “Then don’t waste my time.”The line cut off the next second.I sat there in a daze until midnight, when Luke’s call came through and gave me the chance to ask for help.“I can’t move right now… Can you call an ambulance for me?”I was sent to the hospital. After several rounds of therapy, I barely regained some feeling in my arms and legs, but my movements were still slow and heavy. My condition was deteriorating.After much thought, I decided to settle my debt with Luke while I still had some strength left.The only thing I could sell that was worth anything was the birthday gift Casey had bought me when I was 16. I brought that old necklace to a secondhand shop and quietly bargained with the shop owner.“It was expensive when it was first bought. Could you maybe take it for a higher pri

After our father was imprisoned, he refused to accept it and even pulled strings to file an appeal. However, the evidence was clear. Hence, the verdict remained unchanged.I rushed to the prison as soon as I could, to deliver the news to him in person. He, however, looked like he already knew. His face did not show the slightest emotion.However, when he saw me entering in a wheelchair, there was a flicker of twisted delight in his eyes.I looked straight at him, my tone calm. “It doesn’t matter what happens to me. What matters is that you’ll never get out of here. If they let you walk free, that would be an insult to Casey and me. Even if they gave you the death penalty, you'd still taint my mother’s soul in the afterworld. Rotting here like this is what suits you best.”His face instantly twisted with rage.As I turned to leave, he bellowed furiously behind me, “So what if you do all this?! Do your mother and brother even believe you? Don't they already think of you as a cold-bl

That phone call was clearly important to Casey.He went straight into the bedroom, almost like he feared I would eavesdrop. That was fine. At least Casey would not see me secretly crying.Just before he closed the door, I vaguely heard Victoria’s voice on the other end. She was crying as she questioned him, her tone full of grievance.Maybe it was the first time Casey had not gone home for an entire night.Then, it struck me that I had brought Casey back here. However, his real home… was no longer here.I lowered my head, finished the bowl of oatmeal, and sat at the table. I was unable to move, so I quietly waited.The food on the table grew colder and colder, little by little. It was not until half an hour later that he returned.He casually ate a few bites, then put down his bowl and pushed me toward the bedroom. There was even more distance between us now. I knew he was in a rush to go home.However, I pretended not to notice, insisting on keeping myself here to have him acc

I lay sprawled on the couch, crying my heart out until dawn. I never thought that the donation agreement would really take effect.For six years, I blamed Cora. I resented her for not visiting me, for never coming to pay respects at our mother’s grave.However, I forgot that I had told her never to appear in front of me again.I did not know that on the very night of our mother’s death, Cora had just received news that Charles was about to conduct an illegal deal on a yacht.She and Luke had already set their trap. As long as they secured the key evidence that night, they could send Charles straight to the Supreme Tribunal of the Silverfang Territory.She had reached out through the mind link, telling me she could only return the next day.However, the mind link was suddenly cut off, so she changed her flight and rushed back to the northern border overnight. She caught the earliest flight, only to be delayed by a storm. By the time she landed, it was already noon the next day.I
