Marked by my father's enemy alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Damien's POV Aragon continued, his voice cutting through the open field. He said it plainly, without hesitation. This showed that Lira might have been the reason I was hurt. That she was the one who had put me in danger, the one who had nearly killed me. To him, it meant nothing else.Before I could say anything, Seav shook her head firmly.“No, that’s not it,” she said, with a sharp tone “You’re only saying that because you've lived in the Blackthorne Lands all your life. You haven't lived with wolves who see visions,” she said, staring at Aragon.She took a step forward, her gaze steady as she continued. “In my pack, when my pack was still alive, things like this happened. Visions like this weren’t uncommon. They’re not always a sign of the truth. Most times, they’re warnings about intentions or things that haven’t fully taken shape yet.”I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. “I understand you,” I said, turning my gaze toward Seav. “But the truth is, we don’t have time to deb

Lira's POV I was gathering my things, trying to focus on the task ahead, when Alia's voice broke through the quiet of the room. “I can’t believe we’re going back to that scary place,” she said, her tone a mixture of fear and frustration. “I was there for just one day and I nearly lost my mind.” I glanced up, watching her pace back and forth, wringing her hands like she was trying to wring courage out of them. Matthew stepped forward, his voice calm but firm. “You’ll be fine. This time, at least you’ll be with your dad.” Alia’s frown deepened, and she playfully smacked him on the arm. “You’re only saying that because you spent the last few hours taking a nap, like a newborn pup,” she jabbed, a teasing lilt in her voice. Matthew raised his hands in mock surrender, a smirk tugging at his lips. “If it wasn’t for you distracting me and slowing me down, I wouldn’t have gotten stuck in that trap, and I wouldn’t be here.” Aaliyah rolled her eyes dramatically. “Oh, please,” she scoffed

Lira's POV “We shouldn’t have run into the open field.” That was the thought that hit me the moment I heard wolves rushing from one end and arrows being pointed at us from the other. We had nowhere else to run. We were exposed. And it felt like the closer they realised we were, the more their hands tightened around their bows. Sam and Lord Marco didn’t say anything, but I could see it on their faces—their expressions. The fact that I ran ahead and into the field without telling them wasn’t something they appreciated. Aragon moved closer to me before I could speak.“Stay back,” he said in a sharp tone as he pulled his knife free, stepping in close behind me.Aragon also held Seav back, trying to prevent her from coming closer to me. Lord Marco didn’t make things worse—or better—by stepping forward.“Hi, I’m Lord Marco,” he began, “and I think there must be a misunderstanding.”Before he could stretch out his hand any further, Aragon pointed his sword directly at me and stared stra

Damien's POV At first, I hesitated. What if I went through with this and came out worse than I already was? What if whatever fragments of strength I still had left were taken away from me? I had already lost so much—my power, my sense of self—and the idea that I could fall even lower terrified me. But then another thought got into my head and cleared that fear. If I perish, I perish. There was no middle ground anymore. There was nowhere safe. I was already standing at the edge. If I were going to die, it would be better if I did it knowing that I actually tried to bring back my former self. So I stopped thinking. I didn’t allow myself another second of doubt. I simply did it.As my teeth sank into the side of her neck, the first thing I noticed was the silence. It wasn’t the absence of noise, but it was as if the world itself had paused, and the chaos around me had vanished, even though I still sensed it was there. It was as if time had frozen, leaving only two figures standing in

Lira's POV I opened my eyes. I could still feel the rush of power. It was still moving through me slowly. And the world around me had changed. I could see things more clearly, hear sounds I couldn't hear before. I looked around me, expecting that we would no longer be in the open field, that someone must have moved me while I was disoriented. But we were still there, still trapped at the border and surrounded at the front by the barricade.This gave me a cold reminder of the fact that even though I had just experienced one of the best feelings I’d ever had in my life, there was still every possibility that we were doomed for death.And then I finally realised that being a higher‑ranked wolf came with a lot of other nuances. Having sharp senses wasn’t just about the benefit of it. Because the first thing that hit me, before anyone told me, was that smell.Blood.Fresh blood.I turned my head to the corner, and I realised it was Aragon’s blood. I turned my gaze towards Damien. He was
