His redeeming light のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 6

I didn’t sleep.That wasn’t dramatic. It was just a fact.Every time I closed my eyes, my body reacted like it was waiting for something that never came. My chest felt tight, my skin restless, my thoughts looping back to the same face, the same voice, the same words.I reject you.I rolled onto my side, staring at the wall of my apartment as early morning light filtered in through the blinds. The city was already awake. Sirens in the distance. Someone yelling on the street below. Life moving on like nothing had happened.But something had happened.And it had happened to me.I dragged myself out of bed, showered, dressed, and did everything on autopilot. I told myself I was fine. I told myself I’d met a weird man, had a weird moment, and my body was overreacting.That excuse stopped working the moment I stepped outside.The air felt different.Sharper.Every sound was louder. Every movement caught my attention. When someone brushed past me on the sidewalk, my heart jumped like I’d bee

They didn’t drag me away.That surprised me.I’d expected hands on my arms, voices barking orders, something rough and humiliating to remind me that I didn’t belong here. Instead, two guards stepped forward calmly, like this was routine, like I was just another problem to be managed.Lucian noticed.His body went rigid beside me, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscle jump.“I’m not leaving her,” he said.The silver-haired elder didn’t even look at him. “You already made your choice, Alpha Andrews. This is the consequence.”I felt Lucian’s hand brush mine—just barely. Not enough to be comforting. Not enough to stop the ache spreading through my chest.“Belle,” he said quietly. “I’ll fix this.”I didn’t answer.I didn’t trust myself to.The guards gestured toward the side exit, and I followed them without resistance. I could feel eyes on my back as I walked out of the chamber. Some curious. Some wary. Some openly hostile.And a few… calculating.The corridor beyond the coun

They didn’t give me time to rest.That became obvious the moment we stepped out of the ring and into the corridor and I saw three elders waiting there like they’d already planned the next move.The silver-haired elder didn’t waste words. “The trial confirmed instability.”Lucian let out a sharp laugh. “That’s your takeaway?”“She lost control,” another elder said.I straightened. “I didn’t hurt anyone.”“You cracked the stone,” the elder replied calmly. “That’s not nothing.”Lucian stepped in front of me. Again. Always. “You pushed her. On purpose.”The elder met his gaze. “And now we know what happens when she’s threatened.”My chest tightened. “So what’s the punishment?”The word hung in the air.The elder’s eyes flicked over me, then back to Lucian. “Supervision.”Lucian went still. “Explain.”“She stays,” the elder said. “Under watch. Close watch.”“By who?” I asked, already knowing the answer.The elder’s mouth curved slightly. “By you.”Lucian’s head snapped up. “No.”“That’s no
