CRIMSON FANG ALPHA AND HIS CURSED MATE의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Lysandra povMy bare feet moved cautiously over the cold, unforgiving ground, each step swallowed by a heavy, oppressive silence. Darkness stretched endlessly around me, no shapes, no horizon, only emptiness. I had been walking for what felt like days, relentlessly moving forward without ever glimpsing even the faintest spark of light. A disturbing thought crossed my mind. Was I dead? Had I crossed into some kind of purgatory after my death?Every sense was on edge, attuned to the slightest sound, the smallest shift in the air. A deep, penetrating cold seeped into me, freezing me from the inside out. Instinctively, my hands reached forward, searching for something, anything, to hold on to, but they closed around nothing but void.Dark, spiraling thoughts crowded my mind, filling me with dread. Was I condemned to wander this nothingness forever?Then, suddenly, a glow appeared in the distance. Small. Fragile. Almost unreal. It flickered faintly, dancing in the darkness like a will-o’-t

Lysandra POVA heavy, oppressive silence settled over the room, thick enough to make it hard to breathe. It stretched endlessly between us, suffocating and merciless. Slowly, with an effort that felt almost painful, I raised my head toward him, my heart pounding violently in my chest as I waited for his reaction. I searched his face desperately, scrutinizing every line, every shadow, but his expression remained perfectly unreadable, cold, impenetrable, stripped of any visible emotion. His gaze alone left me suspended in uncertainty, unable to grasp what was unfolding behind his eyes.“I already know that, Lysandra,” he said calmly at last, his voice cutting through the silence with unsettling composure.The words struck me like a blow. Confusion twisted inside me, and I frowned, struggling to understand what he meant. Without looking at me, he took a few deliberate steps backward, then turned his back on me entirely, widening the invisible distance that suddenly felt unbearable.“How

Lysandra POV"You will die!" he growled, the words sharp and unyielding, vibrating through the air like a physical blow."How can you be so sure?" I countered, my voice steady despite the pounding of my heart. "You yourself said my scent was similar to a she-wolf!""I won't risk biting you over mere assumptions. I won’t mark you," he said firmly, his voice carrying an edge of steel that left no room for argument.A heavy silence settled between us, thick and suffocating. The only sound was the gentle rustling of leaves stirred by the soft evening wind. Our breaths mingled in the cool air, each inhale a delicate reminder of the tension between us."We’ll figure it out eventually," he said finally, his tone softer now, almost caring. "You should go rest. Your body isn’t fully recovered yet."The laughter of children reached us, crystalline and pure, drifting through the camp. Some ran freely, spinning and tumbling, while others bickered gently over games. Their joy was contagious, a bri

Lysandra POVMy body trembled in a storm of shivers, hot and cold racing through me in chaotic waves. Beads of sweat dotted my forehead, glistening in the soft sunlight filtering through the cabin window. Time had ceased to exist since Varyon had left me alone. Every second stretched endlessly, and I felt achingly vulnerable. The bite on my chest still throbbed, a lingering pain, the dried blood a silent testament to what had occurred, but the ache in my mind far outweighed any physical discomfort. I was adrift, lost in the echoing void of my thoughts, abandoned in the aftermath of a bond I barely understood.Clutching the blanket he had left behind, I buried my face into it, inhaling his scent that clung to the fibers. Every touch, every kiss he had pressed upon me replayed in my mind like an exquisite torment. My lips still tingled from the memory of them. It was the first time I had ever been kissed, truly kissed, and the memory burned itself into my soul. Each brush of his lips, e

Lysandra povVaryon's wolf, formidable and imposing, silently slid up to me and knelt. I felt his warm breath on my leg as I slung it over his powerful back. I took the time to adjust my belongings, the bag loaded with supplies, my quiver filled with arrows, and my bow.As we slowly made our way into the woods, the pack gathered around us, watching our departure. In the distance, Nymeris stood on the steps of her hut. Her sad gaze met mine, and I nodded to her to show that everything would be okay, but she looked away and went back inside. My heart sank, and I vowed to fix this situation once I got back.We entered the forest, and Varyon turned his head towards me for a moment. He gave me a sign with his muzzle for me to hold on tight, as he was about to dash through the woods. I could feel the adrenaline rising in him as I clung tightly to his fur.He leapt over a branch with agility before dashing off into the dense forest at full speed. The trees seemed to lean toward us as we sped
