Bound To The Alpha King's Brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

ISOLDEHis arm came around me so suddenly that I barely had time to breathe. One moment I stood there, staring at him, the air thick and still like the final breath before a storm.Next, I was pressed against his bare chest as if he feared I’d vanish if he loosened his grip even a little. His skin burned against mine. The heat of him felt like a living thing. My breath caught.“F-Finnan… are you angry at me?” My voice came out small, barely mine.He stared at me, not just at my face, but deeper, into something I wasn’t sure I could ever hide from him. His eyes flickered with a dark and ancient something. Possessiveness. Fear. Relief. He shook his head slowly, his jaw clenching before he spoke.“I was just making sure you didn’t run. Not tonight… not back to Rowan.” His voice was low, and raw. A warrior’s voice softened by something he didn’t know how to name.I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I held and gave a shaky little chuckle, trying to ease him. “I’m all yours, warrior…” My a

FINNIAN “Did someone attack you?” Isolde’s voice trembled as she ran her hands over Elsa’s arms and sides like she was afraid she’d find blood there.Eve hovered close too, her eyes were wide, her fingers were shaking. We had reached the palace against my will. I wanted her... my mate far away from here for days—just me and her. No noise. No chaos. But she wanted to see her sister, so I agreed. I couldn't tell her no.Elsa slowly shook her head, trying to sit up and failing. Isolde and Eve helped her before she could complain. She looked at me, remorse clear in her eyes. “I’m so sorry… for making you scared… and running your...”“Stop it.” My voice cut through hers like cold steel. I didn’t blink. “You did nothing.”“It’s because of the pup,” Isolde said.My brows furrowed. A storm pushed behind my eyes. She noticed and quickly added, “She’s carrying Daze’s pup.”Eve gasped and cupped her own stomach before flashing Elsa a bright smile. She threw her arms around her. “Congratulations

ISOLDE“Ro-Rowan…” My voice shook as I looked at him. His hand clamped around my arm, his fingers were digging in so hard I felt the sting in my bones. “You’re hurting me,” I whispered, fear and anger mixing in my chest. For a moment I wanted to curl into myself like I always did, but something in me snapped.Was this the same man I once thought I could spend the rest of my life with?I should’ve seen it long ago. The real him. The one who thought pain was love. The one who hid behind charm and titles while crushing anyone who dared stand up to him. If I had seen Finnian first… if I had even gotten close to him… maybe I would have chosen war with a man like that over this kind of love.Rowan’s grip tightened. I gasped, clutching his wrist, trembling not because he scared me, but because I was done letting him believe I’d always bend.Before I even registered it, I was standing free. I looked up at him, stunned. I had used my power. My eyes were no longer my own, they were dark like th

ISOLDEToday was Velin's judgment.The thought alone made my chest tighten. She had fainted several times when she first heard of Rowan’s death. Maybe, just maybe, she had hoped Rowan would come to her aid, but fate was cruel. Everyone was here in the hall, all eyes were sharp and expectant, except his. Rowan’s chair remained empty, a hollow reminder of the life stolen from us.Velin was a shadow of the woman I once knew. Blood smeared her flawless skin, her black hair clung in wet, stringy clumps to her face and neck. The cell had done its work as she was thinner, gaunt, broken in a way that no beating could have achieved. Still, her eyes carried fire, even if it flickered with desperation now.The announcer stepped forward, scroll in hand, and a hush fell over the court. I felt a presence beside me, a weight of a gaze that seemed to pierce right through my soul. I turned, and our eyes met... Finnian’s eyes were, cold, unyielding, and unreadable. I held his stare longer than I should

ISOLDE I couldn’t believe this day had finally come. I never thought I would feel this kind of happiness, this kind of ending that felt like a dream I was too scared to speak aloud. I had always imagined being with Finnian, yes, but never imagined standing beside him as a queen. The thought made my chest tighten and my heart flutter.He had insisted we marry before his coronation, and as always, the elders had no choice but to obey. They muttered among themselves, their anger barely hidden, but it didn’t matter. I thought we had freedom... freedom to choose whom we wanted as long as they wanted us but Finnian had shown me that fate had already chosen for us.The maids fussed over me as I sat in front of the mirror, letting them dress me in the red royal gown Finnian had chosen. It shimmered with gold stones, catching the light with every movement, reflecting the kind of elegance only a queen could carry. I was silent, letting them braid and twist my hair, letting their hands prepare
