The alpha’s forgotten mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The moon rejected me the night I was born.No howl. No shift. Just silence.In our world, that kind of silence is deadly.I was born during a blood moon, and by morning, the whispers had started. “She has no wolf.” “A cursed child.” “She should’ve died in the womb.” The pack wanted to leave me in the woods, let the rogues take care of what the Moon Goddess had apparently forgotten.But my mother Luna Mira begged for my life. She cried. She bled. And somehow, I lived.Seventeen years later, I sometimes wonder if they were right.Because being alive without a wolf? That’s not life. That’s survival. And the pack never lets me forget it.“Lyra,” Beta Harlan barks, yanking me out of my thoughts. “To the back. Eyes down. You’ll spook the guests.”“Yes, Beta,” I mumble, moving behind the rest of the pack.Today is a big day. Alpha Kael of the Moonfang Pack is visiting. Rumor is he’s here to form an alliance with our Alpha.The others are buzzing with excitement, adjusting their hair, fixing

 I didn’t sleep.The room was too quiet, too warm, too wrong.My whole life I’d slept on a cot in a cold corner of the servant hall, wrapped in thin blankets and silence. This room with its soft sheets and roaring fireplace felt like a lie. Like something borrowed. Something that could be taken away at any moment.Maybe it already had been.My freedom. My pack. As cruel as they were, they were still all I knew.Now, I was under the roof of an Alpha who claimed me without reason. Said I was “supposed to die.” Looked at me like I was a ghost.What did he know?The fire crackled in the hearth, casting flickering shadows on the stone walls. I stared into it, arms wrapped around my knees.And then just like before, it hit me.A flash.Screaming.  Flames.  Chains around my wrists.  A circle of wolves watching, unmoved, as I burned.I gasped, st

 I didn’t know how I got back to my room.My feet moved on instinct, but my mind was miles away, burning in a past I didn’t remember, haunted by a future I didn’t understand.I stood in front of the mirror, back turned, trying to glimpse the mark Kael saw. All I could see was smooth skin. But I felt it. Like it was carved beneath the surface. Like it was… waiting.Was I really her? A witch who died screaming in flames? A killer? A mate?I touched the glass, half expecting it to shatter.That’s when the knock came.Not sharp. Not urgent. A slow, deliberate rhythm.I opened the door, expecting Kael.It wasn’t.It was the Beta. Dax.“Come with me,” he said, his face unreadable.I hesitated. “Why?”“Because you need to learn how to defend yourself. Alpha’s orders.”I blinked. “You want to train m

 The word slammed into my chest like a punch.Hunters.Not warriors. Not messengers. Hunters.Trained by the Council to do one thing, track and kill anything that threatens their order.Kael’s entire body shifted with tension. “How many?”Dax swallowed. “Three. Maybe four. But if they’ve come this far, they aren’t alone.”I stepped forward. “Let me fight.”Kael turned to me sharply. “No.”“Why not? I’m the one they’re here for.”“Exactly,” he snapped. “And you’re not ready.”My hands curled into fists. “Then let me learn fast.”He stared at me for a long moment, then turned to Dax. “Get her to the underground tunnel. I’ll stall them.”Dax grabbed my arm. “Let’s go.”I shook him off. “No. I’m not running

 The heart.  A relic containing a piece of my soul.  A weapon the Council would kill for and one I had no memory of hiding.Kael paced beside me in the war room, jaw tight. Dax leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes flicking between us.“We don’t know where it is,” Kael muttered. “Or who has it.”“We have a lead,” I said quietly. “The memory. Before I died, I was in a sanctum. Carving runes. Hiding something.”Kael stopped pacing. “Do you recognize the place?”I shook my head. “But the trees were white. Birch, maybe. Snow on the ground.”Dax straightened. “Silverpine forest. That’s rogue territory.”Kael swore under his breath. “Of course it is.”I met his gaze. “Then that’s where we go.”His expression hardened. “It’s too dangerous. They don&rsq
