My Fiance is Sleeping With My Step Sister のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

The forest was alive with movement. Warriors gathered in groups, their laughter carrying through the trees as they stripped out of their clothes getting ready for the shift. Families were gathered together bragging about who would bring back the best meat for the night. It was the day of the hunt, one of the biggest events in the pack, and I had barely stepped out when I felt every eye on me.Devon’s hand was warm in mine, steady, but it didn’t stop the knot in my stomach from tightening. I had heard the whispers all week and I knew what most of them thought of me as a danger to the pack. A mistake. Not worthy of Luna.Levi didn’t waste time. I still don't get why he hates me so much. I never did anything to him but he's been a thorn in my flesh since I came to the pack. He stepped forward from the crowd, his tall frame blocking my view of the others. His voice rang out, sharp enough to silence the laughter. “She doesn’t belong here.”A murmur rippled through the pack. Some

The pack went on with their day as if nothing had happened, but everywhere I walked, I felt their eyes burning into my back. The whispers never stopped. Sometimes low enough that I had to strain to hear, sometimes loud enough that they wanted me to hear every word. “She doesn’t belong here.” “She’ll get us all killed.” “Devon’s blinded by the bond.” It's like the whispers were automatic once they set their eyes on me they start talking. like they can't control themselves. And every word was spilled with animosity and hatred. Each one cut deeper than the last. I pulled my hood tighter over my head, trying to ignore them, but my chest ached with guilt. No matter how I tried to shove it away, the memory of that fight replayed in my mind the moment his fist came down and I froze, too weak to block it, too weak to stop him. If Devon hadn’t stepped in, I would’ve been lying in the dirt lifeless. And no one would have cared. I could still see the smirk on the elder’s face, the way

Joey had me out in the clearing again before the sun was even high. My body ached from all the training we’d been doing lately, but she wasn’t letting up. She kept circling me like a hawk while I stood in the center, sweat dripping down my back, my fists clenched.“Focus, Addy,” she said, her voice sharp but steady. “Don’t just let the fire come. You have to feel it before it bursts.”I tried. God knows I tried. My chest was hot, my skin tingling, and I could feel that spark that always wanted to rip out of me. But the more I tried to hold it back, the more it fought me.“Joey, I can’t”“Don’t say you can’t. Try harder.”I bit down on my lip and screamed in frustration. For a split second, fire shot across my palm, a bright lick of flame that singed the grass. My stomach dropped. If anyone else had been out here… if anyone else had seen that…Joey stomped the fire out quickly, her eyes wide. “Careful, Addy. You’re not ready to lose it like that.”I sank down onto the ground, panting.

For the first time in a long time , I woke up without a knot of dread in my stomach. That feeling had been eating at my chest for a while now. The morning light spilling through the curtains felt warm instead of heavy, and when I rolled over to find Devon already watching me, smiling that lazy smile that always made my heart trip, something inside me softened.“What?” I whispered, embarrassed under his gaze.“Nothing,” he said, brushing my hair back from my face. “Just… you’re glowing.”I laughed, shaking my head. “Glowing? Please. I look like I’ve been dragged through hell.”His fingers tilted my chin so I couldn’t look away. “You don’t see it, do you? Every day you’re looking more alive. More… you.”The words settled deep in my chest. A part of me still wanted to argue, to cling to the safety of doubt, but another part whispered maybe he was right. Maybe I could let myself believe. Just a little.I buried my face against him, my voice muffled. “I’m scared, Devon. What if it doesn’t

We were still curled together, the sheets sticking to my skin from the heat of what just happened. Devon’s arm was draped over me, heavy and warm, his fingers lazily tracing circles on my hip like he never wanted to stop touching me. I hid my face in his chest, still trying to catch my breath, and he chuckled low in his throat like he found my shyness amusing.“You are mine, Addy. All of you,” he whispered against my hair, his lips brushing the top of my head.I wanted to stay there forever, buried in his chest where the world couldn’t reach me. For a moment, I let myself believe it. That maybe happiness wasn’t running from me anymore, that maybe it was here, wrapped up in him.The door swung open.I yelped and pulled the blanket to my chest so fast I nearly choked myself, my cheeks burning hotter than the fire in my veins. Devon groaned, rolling over to shield me with his body, but it was too late. Joey stood at the door with a tray in her hands, her grin wide enough to split her fac
