Breaking the First Bond のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"The old agreement doesn't count. Alice is the woman I love. Even if we're bonded, I'll never love you!"At the bonding ceremony, Loki Olson stood in formal attire, his face twisted with anger as he roared those words at me in front of all the guests.My wolf spirit, Shadow, spoke inside my mind. "He must've been reborn, too."I lowered my eyes and silently agreed with Shadow.Looking at his face, still young yet painfully familiar, I felt a strange sense of disorientation.I believed Shadow completely, because in my previous life, even after I had been Loki's mate for decades, he had never once truly looked at me.In my past life, my father, Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, had issued Loki a ruthless order while he was still a young man.If he wanted to become the next Alpha, he had to marry me.Back then, young Loki was full of ambition and determination. He wanted nothing more than to lead the pack to greatness, so he clenched his teeth and accepted the marriage.Meanwhile, my

"Why the hell should you do that?" Shadow growled in fury.I pressed my lips together and nodded, forcing the pain in my chest back down.Loki was still the same. He could abandon me for anyone, without hesitation.Surprised by my compliance, Loki spared me an extra glance."Don't try any tricks. Behave yourself. Once my bonding ceremony with Alice is over, I'll pick a suitable mate for you within the pack.""That won't be necessary. My mate isn't something you need to worry about."I let out a cold laugh.The vein at Loki's temple throbbed violently. "Watch it."I didn't look at him again. I stuffed my clothes into a suitcase and walked out without another word.That night, I curled up on the narrow bed in the storage room.The soundproofing was terrible. I could clearly hear the muffled groans of a man and the soft moans of a woman coming from the main bedroom next door, again and again.Shadow's furious voice echoed in my mind. "How could he do this to you?!"I stayed si

An hour and a half later, the car pulled into the Goldlush Pack.The architecture here was completely different from Silvermoon. It felt older, more rustic, and far closer to nature.An envoy opened the car door for me, his tone respectful."Ms. Brewer, Alpha is waiting for you in the main hall."I took a deep breath and walked into the reception hall.A tall figure stood by the window. Hearing my footsteps, he turned around.The Alpha of the Goldlush Pack, Ethan Corbyn, was younger than I had expected. He looked to be under 30, his golden eyes calm and steady.He inclined his head politely, his voice low and composed."Welcome. Was your journey smooth?"My nerves eased quite a bit. I nodded and smiled."It went very well. Thanks for receiving me."He gestured for me to sit."You're welcome. I'm already aware of the circumstances surrounding this alliance. You can stay here for now. There's no need to feel pressured."I froze for a moment. This was nothing like what I had

When I returned from the market, I overheard news about the Silvermoon Pack.A werewolf was speaking in a hushed voice to someone beside her, clearly sharing gossip."Did you hear?" she said. "The Luna of the Silvermoon Pack ran off and left behind a complete mess!"The person next to her looked shocked. "What? Didn't they just hold their bonding ceremony not long ago? It was such a big deal that even our pack heard about it.""Exactly! No idea what really happened. But I heard the Luna had a fight with the Alpha and stormed off in a fit of anger."Shadow snickered with undisguised satisfaction. "Just wait and see, Melissa! I bet Loki's gonna regret choosing Alice. She's a walking disaster."I hurried past them, my heart pounding.When I got back to my residence, a maid confirmed the rumor."It's true, Ms. Brewer. The Luna of the Silvermoon Pack left three days ago. They say she went to another city. Alpha Loki sent people to search for her, but they haven't found her."I sat

At noon the next day, Mark arrived right on time to pick me up.When he saw that Ethan was coming with me, he looked surprised but didn't say anything.The drive back to the Silvermoon Pack was quiet. I watched the scenery pass by outside the window and thought about the last time I had traveled this road.Back then, I was filled with despair. Now, I felt strangely calm.When we arrived at the Silvermoon Pack, my father was waiting at the entrance.I had thought retirement would allow him to enjoy his later years, but he looked much older than before.He pulled me into a tight embrace. "Melissa, you've lost weight."I hugged him back. "I'm doing well, Dad. The Goldlush Pack has treated me very kindly."My father glanced at Ethan and nodded. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter."Ethan bowed gracefully. "Melissa is a valued member of the Goldlush Pack and my future mate. We're honored that she's joined us."As we spoke, we walked into the estate.Everything looked the sa
