The Alpha Biker's Healer のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 78

ALPHA JARON'S POVThe garden was quiet tonight. Too quiet, but I preferred it that way. The rest of the pack house felt too full, too loud, too suffocating for the kind of thoughts that had been circling in my head since I walked out of her room. Out here, the air at least gave me space to breathe.I sat under the cedar tree at the far edge of the garden, the one place no one usually bothered to come near after dark. I brought a bottle with me, hoping it would help calm what was turning inside my chest. The liquor burned as it went down, sharp and clean, but it did nothing to loosen the knot that had been there for days.I hated feeling like this.I drank again, letting the silence settle. Wolves were not meant to indulge in emotions like these. At least, I never allowed myself to. Love, affection, attachment, anything that could soften an Alpha was something I stayed far away from. I had seen too much damage caused by feelings that blinded judgment. I swore I would never allow myself

KAHLIA’S POVIt was not real.The warmth vanished, the softness evaporated, and the words that had wrapped around my heart like a promise dissolved into nothing. My hand was empty. My pulse thundered loudly in my ears, betraying me.I realized it was just my imagination.Shame crashed over me in a suffocating wave.I had been standing there, staring at him like a fool, lost in a fantasy my heart created without permission. My cheeks burned. My fingers curled into my palms as if I could crush the foolish hope forming there.Alpha Jaron was watching me carefully now.“Kahlia?” he said again, using my name this time. “Are you feeling dizzy?”I swallowed hard and forced my lips to curve upward.A smile.A practiced one.The kind you wear when your chest hurts but you don’t want anyone to see the cracks.“Yes,” I said quickly, nodding once. “I’m fine.”The words tasted bitter.I stepped back, putting distance between us, as if that alone could put distance between my thoughts and reality.

I really appreciated it and I couldn't deny that it made my heart happy seeing Alpha Jaron's good side. He was better than before. I didn’t see his cruelty anymore and it made sense, because as his doctor, I felt that I didn’t just help him recover, I also helped him become a better man, not an Alpha who judged right away without knowing the truth.That day, I saw him differently, but after such a good day, I was surprised when Betty knock softly and entered my room while I was sitting at my desk, reviewing notes from the day.“Dr. Ford? Are you busy?” Betty’s voice called from outside.I looked up, frowning slightly. “I’m finishing up. What is it, Betty?”The door opened just enough for her to peek in. “I wanted to make sure you knew about the garden tonight. Alpha Jaron… has prepared something for you.”I blinked, startled. “Something for me?"Betty stepped in, closing the door behind her. “Yes, Dr. Ford, he insisted. And you should go. For your own good.”I frowned. “For my own goo

The plates were cleared quietly, servants moving like shadows so as not to break the fragile calm between us. I hadn’t realized how late it had grown until the windows reflected the deep indigo of night. Candles burned low, wax pooling like tiny moons on the table.Alpha Jaron folded his hands together, his posture relaxed but deliberate. There was a pause, one of those pauses that felt intentional, like he was choosing his words carefully.“When I am fully recovered,” Alpha Jaron said at last, his voice even, “you won’t need to stay here anymore.”The words landed softly.Too softly.I felt it immediately, a sharp, unexpected ache deep in my chest, as if something inside me had been pinched without warning. My fingers curled slightly against my napkin, and I forced myself to breathe normally. This was good news. It was what I had been working toward from the beginning.So why did it hurt?“You can go home,” he continued, unaware, or perhaps too aware, of the storm his words had stirr
