The Human Among Wolves のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

I could feel it, the tension that was sitting right there at the table with us , it was so suffocating almost like it was being pressed down my throat . .Rex’s words still lingered in the air and we were all taken aback by the way he said . .“…after you ditched her.”I hated that he said it and even more I hated that it was true, Sebastian did ditch me but it wasn’t Rex’s business, Was it ? Sebastian cleared his throat beside me, and I didn’t need to look at him to know that he was already irritated, it was more than ending the long silence .“I didn’t ditch her,” Sebastian said, his voice wasn’t loud enough and a voice in my head answered .” Yes you did” I pressed my lips together, he looked at Rex.“And thanks,” he added,. “For showing her the table.”Rex leaned back in his chair, his lips curling, he found the whole thing amusing, I could tell from his smirk . “You’re welcome,” he replied simply.The way he said it made it worse, He was very much aware of the game he was play

I didn’t sleep, I turned from one side of the bed to the other so many times that the sheets ended up twisted around my legs like they were trying to trap me in place.Every time I closed my eyes, Amber’s voice came back.“If you had to choose…”I sighed and turned again, staring at the ceiling.Choose.?Between Rex and Sebastian.Why is that even a real question? and Why was it even coming from Amber ? I could have expected it from Maltilda but not Amber …It made it even more serious.I squeezed my eyes shut.“Okay…think, Lily,” I whispered to myself.Do I like Sebastian?I paused….No.Sebastian was…just my friend . Being around him felt like something I didn’t have to think too hard about. He made things simple. He made me feel simple.And I liked that.But did I like him?Like…like him?.“I don’t think so…”Then Rex, I groaned immediately and dragged the pillow over my face.“Don’t even go there.”Rex was many things , I have a list, a long one …Annoying.Arrogant.Infuriating.

I was summoned before seven Class A wolves, with Rex, Sebastian, and Clara among those seated at the round table. They were the top members of the hierarchy. Not all Class A wolves could be members of the circle, and unluckily for me, the girl I had confronted was one of them. I was forced to stand in front of them to face judgment for disregarding their traditions and calling their rules “stupid.”Sebastian wasn’t having it but what could he do? There were six other members of the round table, and because I didn’t want to look pitiful, I told Sebastian that I could handle it. But in all honesty, I couldn’t.Rex looked completely neutral, his hands folded, his eyes burning with something that looked like annoyance as he stared at me. I knew he was the one who made those laws, but I couldn’t care less.I wasn’t going to take back what I said, even if I had the chance. The hierarchy was stupid.“Lily… can you repeat what you said to me?” the girl asked.“Does she have to? We are here t

I doubted that they would leave me here—until they did.I was tied to a chair and left in the middle of this tiny room. After Sebastian left, Clara knew he had been talking to me, so she came back and tied me to the fucking chair… like I was some criminal, I couldn’t wrap my head around why all of this is normal to them . All I did was speak how I truly felt about all of this. I didn’t deserve to be punished like this.“Let me out of here! Let me out! For fuck’s sake, I cannot breathe properly in here!” I screamed, but nobody answered me. I could see people passing by through the small window, but all of them ignored me.“Are you serious? All of you are just going to let this slide? This is insane! Sebastian! Sebastian! Sebastian!” I kept screaming until my voice started to give out.I pressed my lips together and bowed my head.“Don’t cry, Lily… don’t cry…” I murmured to myself, even though I was already at the edge of tears.“Lily… Lily… are you in there? Can you hear me?” I heard

The whole canteen was filled with murmurs. Everyone was shocked. These rules were Rex’s idea, they always had been. He was never flexible with them. They couldn’t help but wonder what might have changed.“Is he in love with the girl?”“Isn’t she his brother’s girlfriend?”“I doubt that Rex would settle for someone like that…”“She is pretty though…just not his class.”Different opinions were going around, and as each of them reached Clara’s ears, her anger only grew worse.“All of you, go back to your seats! How hard is it to eat a proper meal without noise these days?” one of the circle members commanded.“What is going to happen now? Are you going to leave Lily alone?” Lustre stood up and asked.Anastasia’s eyes widened. She couldn’t understand why Lustre would bring that up, like she was trying to throw Lily under the bus.“You heard Rex! He doesn’t want anyone to lay a finger on her!” someone replied.“Well… it is our law, is it not? Why should she go free?” Lustre asked, sipping
