Their Regret: I'm Not Your Luna Anymore のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

101Little Morticia was dumbfounded. She looked like she was lost. Lester put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her with him to the side like a big brother. "What do you want for saving me, Doctor Nate?" Vera smiled dryly at him. "Your comrades... Are intimidating, Princess. I wonder how you tolerate them." Nate complained as he tried to sound normal, yet the trembles from the fear he felt around Vera was palpable. "They're not intimidating. They're just protective of me. You see, I'm the princess. They see it as their duty to keep me safe." Nate was looking at the comrades but after hearing Vera's words, he turned to her, "You don't need safety around me, Princess. I'm not harmful."He tried to hold her hand. "Are you?" Vera raised an eye as she pulled her hand away. "Tell me how would you like me to compensate you for saving me, Doctor Nate?" Vera asked. She knew his answer already. She had read his mind and he was going to ask her to go out. Vera saw his eyes linger o

103Six days later, Vera was standing in front of the mirror in casual clothes. Not a single hair was out of place. Her makeup was minimal too. And yet, she felt nervous and the ball of nerves in her stomach kept clenching tighter and tighter. 'Ugh, Verena, when did you become this way? I've always known you as a confident person. Relax. It's just a meeting with little children.' Her wolf moaned in disappointment towards her human counterpart."It's not about all the children. It's about Alex. Didn't you see the list? His school is included. He will be there too." Vera's voice was low and painful. His face flashed before her eyes. She remembered the first day of school and his last too. It wasn't just about meeting him.It was about seeing him after that day he slapped her. 'Look, Verena,' Her wolf interrupted her thoughts. 'If you think about him now, you will do worse and let Danish down. Do you want that?' Vera didn't answer. 'He's got many expectations from you. It's time to

105The assembly was calm and distracting. The children were led to breakfast where they chirped like birds and made friends. All this while Vera's eyes remained on Alex and Molly. She felt a throbbing ache in her chest when she saw her son. But that ache turned to uncontrollable rage when they fell on Molly. The little girl had slipped back into her shell. She kept her distance from the kids from her school. Even during breakfast where all of them sat together in circles and enjoyed their food while talking, she sat alone with a teacher, who was also busy talking to her colleagues. Vera had been losing her mind. She hadn't known seeing her son and her ex-husband's mistress's daughter would pull the worst out of her. The camp hasn't even started and Vera was brainstorming for a way to get back at Tory through her daughter. 'You will regret it, Verena. Leave the girl alone.' Verity repeated but her words had no effect on Vera. After a little playing, the children were divided in gr

107 Children were let out to play in the snow this evening. The team Danish has appointed to guard over the area were present around them. Though it wasn't needed because better archers, shooters and fighters were tucked away in hiding places for more protection, Danish was extra cautious.  Teachers were supervising the children as they ran around, throwing snowballs at each other, making snowmen, or simply mesmerized by how the snow-clad world looked under enormous lights lighting the area after evening.  Benches were set up all around. Vera sat on a bench as she let the laughter and voices of children soothe her heavy heart.  Not even a quarter hour has passed when she felt a presence beside her. Vera's body became rigid as her eyes began to tear up again.  "I know you did it on purpose." Alex accused. He had his hands in the pockets of his jacket. 

110It was the fourth day of the ten day long camp. They were being taken to the training academy for a tour. They were in the bus and Vera was supposed to be in Alex's bus. Sam was also there with other children. They were singing a poem under Vera's supervision. But Sam was quiet and admired Vera. Alex was sitting behind him in the long seat. He observed his expression and made a remark, "I heard your mommy is dead. Is that why you try to cling onto every female teacher and trainer?" Sam's smile faltered. A sorrowful look fell over his face as he forced a smile at Alex. "You can say that. But I think clinging onto female teachers and trainers is better than calling myself future Alpha that I may never become." Alex scoffed. "At least I have a future. Yours died with her."He was deliberately loud, wanting people to hear. They did and a silence fell over the others. There was only the sound of the swooshing air, screeching tyres and the gurgling of water as the bags and the bott
