The Human Among Wolves のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

REX POV : .My father had insisted I deliver a transcript to the Beta myself, and the whole thing felt suspicious. He could have sent any guard, any messenger, even one of the workers, but no, it had to be me.And whenever my father insisted on something too much, it usually meant he had something up his sleeves.I just couldn’t prove it.As I drove to the Beta’s house, I kept thinking of Lily even after the weird meeting with my father and especially after Sebastian had announced that he was no longer with her , She was the only one my whole mind was focused on . I didn’t even care about the weird feeling that I was being set up somehow.It was Just Lily.I was going to deliver the stupid thing and go straight to her quarters. I had already planned how the night would go.I would take her to the lake.We would do what we always do.Walk.Argue.Pretend that I don’t enjoy her com Fight over something ridiculous.And maybe… for once… I would not let the night end with another unfi

If anyone had told me that my first kiss would be with Rex… and that it would end the way it did, I would have laughed.So yes… if you are expecting that after that kiss, we immediately became a couple, started holding hands in the hallway, and smiling at each other like those annoying love-struck people—No.That didn’t happen, It wasn’t awkward that i immediately regretted, No, After the kiss, there was silence..A type of long …pause, both of us were trying to understand what had just happened.And then I said the most ridiculous thing ever.“I need time.”I still don’t know where that came from, I assume it was just fear and common sense , together….Rex didn’t argue, that was the shocking part, the way he had confessed his yearning for me , I had thought he would try to make me see reasons why we needed to start dating right away but he didn’t even look annoyed.He just nodded and said .“Take all the time you need.”That was what he said to me , I wasn’t pressured or even trie

Maltilda was the first to react.“Clara, calm down,” she said, her voice sounded firm but she was not sounding harsh, stepping forward as the noise in the classroom started to rise. “Everyone here knows the rules. Nobody would dare steal from you.”Clara let out a broken laugh.“Calm down?” she repeated, her voice shaking. “Why are you trying to shut me up?”Her eyes were wild now, her breathing was uneven.“This is my mother’s ring!” she screamed, her voice cracking as tears spilled down her face. “My late mother’s ring!”“ Oh my goodness! My mother gave me that ring before she died …Her mother gave it to her ! It’s heirloom….” “ Oh my goodness!! My ring!!!!” She screamed even louder, crying hysterically. The class went quiet for a second.Not completely silent because people were still murmuring , I could feel the tension settle into the room.Anastasia leaned closer to me, her voice low.“She’s being dramatic.”I turned slightly to her.“She must really love the ring,” I whi

Maltilda’s office suddenly felt too small for everything I was feeling, this same office that used to be the place that I could run too was now too hot for me to even call down .I couldn’t sit.I tried to, for like… three seconds, then I got back up again.My legs wouldn’t stay still.I was pacing from one end of the office to the other, my hands moving as much as my thoughts, my voice rising without me even realizing it.“This is not fair,” didn’t do anything and she just—she just decided to ruin my name like that?”Maltilda stayed behind her desk at first, watching me quietly, letting me get it all out, she didn’t interfere .“She planted it,” I continued, turning to face her. “She literally planted it in my bag and everyone just—everyone just looked at me like I was some kind of thief…I have never stolen anything.. ever , in my kife .”My voice cracked a little at that part but I pushed through it.“I do not take whatever doesn’t belong to me ” I added . “Not once. And now..now

The final bell rang and I swear I almost stood up before it even finished echoing.I didn’t even try to hide my relief. I dropped my pen, leaned back in my chair, and let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding all day.Finally.It felt like I had been suffocating since morning.Everything that happened today kept replaying in my head like a recap from the end of a movie , I couldn’t turn off. And even though things had somehow turned in my favor at the end, it didn’t erase how it felt in the moment.Or how close it came to ruining everything.“Lily.”I turned.Rex was already standing by my desk,.He leaned slightly, one hand in his pocket, the other resting on the edge of my table and he whispered .“Can I take you home?,” he asked .My heart did that annoying thing again , I looked away to make sure that nobody was looking. .“I… can’t come with you ,” I said.. “Why?”“I promised Sebastian I’d walk back with him,” I replied.I needed to know how to strike a balance before
