Fragments of a Vow のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

When Rayna saw Caelum standing outside her door, her expression lit up with surprise. But then she remembered the mess behind her.She hurriedly spoke up, scrambling for an excuse. "Caelum, why are you here? I was just—"Before she could finish, Caelum's hand shot out and grabbed her throat. Veins bulged on his forehead. His face contorted in fury. He looked like a demon risen straight from hell."How dare you, Rayna!" he growled.He had never expected that the woman who always acted gentle, harmless, and deferential in front of him had a different side to her. She claimed she had no desire to compete with Seraphina while hiding the disgusting, venomous side of her behind his back.Rayna's survival instincts drove her to claw desperately at his hand, but Caelum didn't loosen his grip.His fingers only tightened further as he growled through clenched teeth, "I warned you from the very beginning to never expose anything to Sera. But you went behind my back and told her about us! Yo

Rayna's eyes widened in disbelief.Of all things, she never expected that Caelum had sterilized himself. So that was why he had never used any form of protection when they slept together. She thought it meant he was implicitly allowing her to carry his pup.Even though a month had passed, she had not gotten pregnant. She believed that a powerful pack like the Blackwood pack would never allow its Alpha's bloodline to be abandoned somewhere out there.If she could secure her place beside Caelum and move into his mansion and sleep with him every day, she would eventually conceive a pup.So, she thought it was worth a gamble. She had no idea that Caelum had already taken such a drastic step for Seraphina.Caelum released her and looked down at her condescendingly. "I don't care whose pup you're carrying. It has nothing to do with me. From today on, you're fired. And if you know what's good for you, you'll leave this city."With those words, he ended everything between them.Rayna's

A month had passed since Seraphina left, but Caelum still hadn't found a single trace of her. He hired experts to digitally restore the torn tapestries from the secret chamber. Then, he had them remade and hung them back where they belonged.Liam no longer attended school. He stayed in the secret chamber every day. Even when he slept at night, he held on to a photo of Seraphina.Caelum expanded the search to every region. He even sent messengers to all his territories and asked anyone who saw Seraphina to report to him immediately.None of the other packs knew she had left because Caelum cheated. They assumed something bad had happened to her."Did something happen to the Luna of the Blackwood pack? Was she kidnapped by rogue wolves?""I heard the Blackwood pack Alpha is nearly losing his mind in his search for her.""They were such a loving couple. I hope the Alpha finds her soon. I miss seeing them together.""Alpha Caelum loves his Luna so deeply.""Their pup cries for her

When Seraphina returned to her original world, she woke up in her own bed. Upon pulling out her phone, she noticed that she was six years in the past.She went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. The reflection looking back at her was clearly younger than the 29-year-old self that she had been moments ago.Only then did she realize that ten years in the werewolf world was only four years in her reality. That meant she wasn't 29. She was the 23-year-old Seraphina again.She took in the room that looked so familiar yet so strange. Being back in her home again felt extremely surreal to her.The sound of the front door opening pulled her back from her reverie.She stepped out of her bedroom and found herself face-to-face with her mom, Dakota Wood, whom she hadn't seen in ten years.Dakota had just returned from grocery shopping. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed someone standing in the bedroom hallway. Thinking a stranger had broken into their home, she almost screamed.

Seraphina froze for a moment and asked, "What did you call me?"The little girl stayed buried in her arms, still calling her Mommy in a muffled voice.Seraphina was certain she had only ever given birth to Liam. It was impossible for her to have a three-year-old daughter. Therefore, she guessed the child must have mistaken her for someone else.Just as she prepared to pick the girl up and bring her to the police station to look for her parents, a man's voice came from behind her."Lily!"The little girl immediately looked up and waved excitedly toward the voice.She said excitedly, "Daddy! Mommy came back!"The man caught sight of Seraphina's face and froze. "Seraphina?"Seraphina stared at the unfamiliar face. She tried to search her memories to figure out who the man in front of her was, but nothing surfaced.In this world, she only had memories from four years ago. Even if they had known each other before, her ten-year absence from being in the werewolf world was long enoug
