Eve and the Devilish Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

SageThe training grounds were quiet in that hollow way large open spaces get at dusk, the air filled only with the muted clatter of Alex’s arrows striking the target. He had been shooting nonstop since we arrived, moving with that rigid determination people have when they’re trying to silence something in their head. I didn’t interrupt him. He needed the distraction, and, if I was being honest, I needed my own.My phone vibrated in my pocket. I didn’t expect anything that mattered, so I checked it with half my attention until I saw her name. Eve. She actually replied.I opened the message, expecting at least something that made sense. Instead, she told me she wasn’t interested anymore, that she’d already picked another man, and that we should forget everything like it never happened. She ended it with a clean, cold goodbye, the kind people use when they want a door to stay shut forever.For a moment, everything around me sank into that quiet, icy stillness I only ever feel when someo

EveMy fingers trembled a little as I stared at his message. Saturday by 9 p.m. The exact moment I was supposed to finalize everything that would save my inheritance. I typed quickly, pushing down the uneasiness in my chest.Me: I have plans for that day and that time. How about we choose another day? Or I can even come tomorrow, if that works for you.I pressed send and waited, just hoping he would listen to reason for once.His reply came almost immediately.Sage: It’s that day and that time; don’t miss it. If you do, I’ll bring you forcefully.I blinked at the screen, my breath catching. Forcefully? Whatever that meant, it wasn’t something I wanted to experience. Before I could overthink it, another message popped up.Sage: I’ll send you the location on Saturday.“What?” I whispered, sitting up straight. Absolutely not. I started typing again, faster this time.Me: Look, I really can’t come. I have something very important to do. Extremely important. I can meet you on Saturday morn

EveThe buzzing sound on the counter wouldn’t stop. I was standing over the sink brushing my teeth when my phone lit up again, vibrating insistently like it was possessed. At first, I ignored it. Nothing good ever came from messages that early in the morning. But when it buzzed the third time, I spat out the foam and picked it up, still wiping the corner of my mouth as I unlocked the screen.It was Sage.Not just one message, but damn three!Location sent.You are to come alone.If you’re not there by 9pm, I will drag you out myself. No matter where you hide.I stared at the screen, numb for a moment, then my reflection met mine in the mirror. I didn’t look scared, even though maybe I should have. I looked… furious. My eyebrows were pulled together so tightly that I could’ve sworn I felt a headache forming. Even with a toothbrush hanging stupidly from the side of my mouth, I looked like someone who regretted every single life decision that had led her here.I lowered the phone slowly

SageI only wanted one thing tonight—to torment her. To make her feel the weight of rejecting me, the Alpha. People beg for my attention; they don’t throw it away like trash. And yet she did. So I planned to give her a night she would never forget. That was the whole point of sending her to that incomplete, abandoned building. I didn’t intend to show up at all. I wanted her uncomfortable. Worried. Crying. Regretting.But somehow… my feet still carried me there.I told myself it was curiosity. Control. The desire to see the consequences of her stupidity with my own eyes. But the truth was quieter and irritating—something in me felt off the moment she texted that she was already on her way. Something in me couldn’t stay home.So here I was, hidden between cracked concrete and shadows, my back against a cold wall as I watched her stumble inside. The place was dark, empty, and dangerous. Exactly what she deserved. But the moment those men showed up—three of them, grown, filthy, the kind t

EveBy the time we finished eating, the embarrassment had already found me. It crept up slowly, like heat spreading under my skin, reminding me of how stubborn I’d been… only to end up clearing half of Sage’s plate like a hungry stray. I could still taste the steak on my tongue, which annoyed me even more because it was good. Irritatingly good. And he knew it.I avoided his eyes as I wiped my lips with the napkin, pretending that I hadn’t practically melted the moment the meat touched my tongue. Pretending my stomach hadn’t growled in betrayal. Pretending I hadn’t eaten all of it once he coaxed me into that “just one bite”.He didn’t tease me, though. Somehow, that was worse. He only watched me with that quiet expression that said he had seen everything, understood everything, and was choosing to say nothing. Which made my cheeks burn even harder.When the bill was settled, he leaned back and said, almost too casually, “Let’s go to a club.”I blinked at him. “A club?”“Yeah. You’ve be
