Want By All Three Alpha Brothers のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Miranda knelt beside the stone altar where her father's body lay wrapped in ceremonial white cloth. She reached out with trembling fingers to touch his cold hand one final time."Rest in peace, Father," she whispered, her voice breaking. "I will take over the Moonstone Pack. I promise you that."Tears streamed down her cheeks, soaking into the delicate lace of her wedding dress. The dress she was supposed to wear for joy, not grief. Today should have been perfect. Instead, she was burying her father hours before becoming a bride.The door creaked open behind her. Miranda turned to see Sasha rushing in, her best friend's face twisted in what looked like anguish. Right behind Sasha came Daniel, her fiancé, still wearing his ceremonial suit for the wedding that was supposed to happen at sunset."He's gone, Miranda," Sasha said, her voice thick. "Your father is really gone."Miranda stood on shaking legs, and Sasha crossed the room in quick steps, pulling her into an embrace. Miranda coll

"Miranda is our pack's destined Luna, but for the next Alpha." Bernard's voice cut through the grief-stricken silence like a blade. "Who?" All three brothers spoke at once, their heads snapping toward him. Hayden stepped forward first. "Father never named a successor. He said he would decide after the Luna ceremony was complete." Bernard nodded slowly. "Your father did not name one because the choice was never his to make." He looked directly at Miranda, then back at the brothers. "Miranda is our destined Luna. Whoever she chooses will be the next Alpha." The words hung in the air like a death sentence. Kyson straightened. "What are you saying?" "The marriage contract with your father is now ineffective," Bernard continued. "Miranda will marry one of his sons instead. The prophecy was clear about this, though we did not understand it until now. The Luna was meant for the next generation, not this one." "This is insane," Lucas said, still kneeling beside his father's body. Tear

"Kill that bitch! She's a traitor to the pack!"Sasha's voice rang through the boutique, shrill and triumphant. Miranda's vision was going dark, Daniel's fingers crushing her windpipe while his magic lifted her off the ground. Her feet dangled uselessly in the air."Sasha," Miranda choked out, forcing the words through her collapsed throat. "You were my best friend. You stole my boyfriend and now—""Without your father, you are nothing!" Sasha cut her off, stepping closer with that vicious smile still plastered across her face. "An idiot who thought she was special just because daddy was Alpha. Well, daddy's dead now, isn't he?"Daniel released his grip suddenly. Miranda's body dropped, crashing onto the marble floor. She landed hard on her side, coughing violently, gasping for air that burned like fire going down her throat. Every breath felt like swallowing glass.Through her watering eyes, she saw Daniel raise both hands. His fingers began to glow with the same sickly green light t

Kyson stood in the doorway, his amber eyes blazing with something that made Miranda take an involuntary step back. "We need to talk." His hand closed around her wrist. Not rough, but firm. He pulled her into his office and shut the door in Hayden and Lucas's faces. The office was all dark wood and leather. Kyson released her wrist and walked to his desk, gripping the edge like he needed something to hold onto. Miranda rubbed where his fingers had been. "Kyson, I am sorry you had to see—" "Do you know what today has been like for me?" he interrupted, his voice low and controlled. Too controlled. Miranda went quiet. Kyson turned to face her. "I watched my father die this morning. Right in front of me. One moment he was standing there, the next he was on the floor and there was nothing I could do." His knuckles were white where he gripped the desk. "Then you arrived. A woman I have never met, supposedly our prophesied Luna. And everything turned upside down in an instant." "Kyso

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, warm against Miranda's face. She blinked awake slowly, her body still heavy with exhaustion but her mind clearer than it had been in days. The bed was empty beside her. Lucas was gone. Miranda sat up, looking around the room. A tray sat on the dresser with fresh bread, fruit, and tea. Steam still rose from the cup. Beside it, a note written in precise handwriting. *Council meeting at noon. You're expected. - K* Miranda picked up the note, reading it twice. A council meeting. About what? About her? The mate bonds? She glanced at the window. The sun was high already. What time was it? She pushed herself out of bed, her muscles protesting. But she had slept. Actually slept through an entire night without nightmares or waking in a panic. That was something. The bathroom attached to her room had a large tub already filled with warm water. Someone had prepared it for her. Miranda sank into the bath, letting the heat soak into her aching body. She
