Alpha's Ruined Mate (Book2) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

The night in the Black Thunder Pack refused to settle even as the moon climbed higher into the sky. Marcus never thought his peaceful life would be disturbed so suddenly, he was ready for his wife's delivery and to spend his days with his son. But he didn't even get time to love him a little bit... His wife was taking care of their son and he can never thank her enough because it is because of her that he can work without any worry. Edwina was not only his wife but Luna of this pack and she is proving it by supporting her husband in every manner. Marcus was still in his office working, the pack house was quiet but nothing felt normal anymore, too many things had shifted in too little time, and at the center of it all was Jackson. Jackson stood near the window of his room, his broad shoulders tense as he stared out into the darkness. The training grounds were empty now, the usual noise gone, replaced by an unnatural silence that only made his thoughts louder, his fingers curled slowl

Reuben’s cabin. Jackson was standing right in front of his door. He didn't know why he had come here, but he couldn't stop himself. He was with patrol guards, and they left for their duty. And he came to Reuben's door.The bond had not let him rest for two nights; he couldn't sleep properly. The bond had pulled at him again and again, growing stronger with every passing hour, until ignoring it became impossible. But this was not why he was here.At least, that’s what he kept telling himself. This wasn’t about the bond. This was about answers and about truth, about the past that refused to stay buried.Jackson stopped and thought for a second before knocking on the door, he gulped and knocked, his gaze fixed on the wooden door. For a moment, there was no sound, the air around him felt heavy, thick with tension, like something was about to break.The two guards behind him exchanged a brief glance behind him but remained silent. Jackson motioned them to go away, then bowed their heads

Reuben stood still for a moment but his strength was fading he took a deep breath and sat on one of the sofas. The air between them was not as tense as before, as something had shifted in Jackson stare. His anger almost vanished there, and Reuben could see sympathy and warmth in his eyes, but it was mixed with something else… a deep emotion, and it was care. Jackson took a few steps towards him and sat beside him, he didn’t touch him, his chest rose and fell slowly, his eyes still locked on Reuben as if he was trying to see through him, trying to decide whether any of this was real or just another lie. “And then?" Jackson said again, quieter this time with a soft tone. Reuben nodded once, as if he had already accepted that there was no turning back now. His hands clapped together, his fingers curling slightly as he grounded himself. His voice, when he spoke, carried weight, not rushed, not defensive, just honest. “I knew the moment I saw you,” He said. “Not because of the bond, bu

"No one is born as a villain, but sometimes one doesn’t have a choice." The words didn’t come from Reuben this time.They formed quietly in Jackson’s mind as he sat there, looking at him… truly looking at him for the first time.Not as a traitor or not as someone to blame but as someone who had survived things no one should ever have to endure.Jackson’s chest felt heavy, his gaze softened as it rested on Reuben, who sat there with his shoulders slightly slumped, as if the weight of everything he had carried for years had finally caught up to him.Reuben wasn’t looking at him now, his eyes were lowered, distant, as he had already said too much… like he was bracing himself for rejection, judgment, and for the same hatred he had always expected.Jackson exhaled slowly feeling Reuben's cold empty hands, he never thought he would feel guilty. Jackson hadn’t moved far after hearing it all nor had Reuben taken his hands out of Jackson's grasp. Jackson’s gaze lingered on him, searching, not

Marcus opened the door to find the head guard there; he bowed to Marcus, but didn't look him in the eyes. "Alpha, I am sorry to disturb you at this hour, but it was your order, if I hear anything from the hospital, I should tell you..." The guard said. Marcus nodded his head. "Yes, what is it?" He asked. "Alpha, The hospital guard from Isabey's room, sent a message that she is calling for the pack Alpha..." He delivered the message. Marcus stood still for a second after the guard delivered the message, his jaw tightening almost instantly. The warmth of the room, the softness of Edwina’s presence, the quiet intimacy they had barely begun to reclaim, it all felt distant now, pulled away by a single name. Isabey. Marcus closed his eyes briefly, as if grounding himself, then exhaled slowly. When he opened them again, the softness that had been there moments ago was gone, replaced by the Alpha once again. “I’ll be back,” He said quietly. Edwina didn’t respond immediately,
