Flash Marriage with the Homeless Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Evelyn's POV Harrison pestered me badly, last time. His words had been laced with arrogance and mockery. He was the last person I wanted to see, yet Amanda had thrown him directly in my path. She wanted me to fail. But I couldn’t afford to. I stood in the back kitchen clutching the counter to steady myself. I then told Teresa, “Let’s do this,” trying to sound brave, but the truth was different. The shift dragged on. I went through the motions, prepping dishes, carrying trays, forcing smiles. But my thoughts kept circling back to him again and again.By the time we closed, I was exhausted. Teresa and I left with a few colleagues and the manager.When I saw Dominic’s car parked just ahead, relief washed through me, and without thinking, I started toward it. But just as I reached the curb, Dominic duck low inside.I froze, not sure why he ducked so suddenly. Then it hit me, the manager was nearby. Maybe Dominic just didn’t want to be noticed.Still, I couldn’t fully understand it. He

Evelyn's POV Saturday came too quickly.Teresa had barely let the sun rise before calling me, her voice bubbling through the line. “Evelyn! Don’t tell me you’re still in bed. It’s party day. Are you ready?”Her words jolted me, and my eyes flew open. Party? Cass’s pool party! I’d completely forgotten.I rushed through washing up and fixing my hair. It wasn’t just the thought of the party that made me nervous, it was the thought of taking Dominic with me, and introducing him to everyone. I’d spent half the week worrying about how he would handle it.While I got dressed, I explained the details of the event to him. Knowing that the store manager and Amanda wouldn’t be there, made me breathe easier.Still, I fussed. “Listen, people might joke around, but it doesn’t mean anything. If you don’t feel like talking, just smile. My colleagues are nice, but sometimes… well, you know how people can be.”Dominic gave me a look that made my cheeks warm. “You make it sound like I’m a child who’s n

Evelyn's POV Nicole’s smirk faltered, but Mike jumped in again, sneering. “Real? Please. You’re still serving tables in a restaurant. That’s not what the wife of a man like him would be doing.”Teresa stepped forward again, her voice rising. “And yet she’s still more honest and capable than you’ll ever be. Don’t mistake her humility for weakness.”Mike opened his mouth, but Dominic’s aura rolled out like a storm, heavy and suffocating. His wolf was bleeding through, dominant and unyielding. The air thickened, and every pair of eyes turned toward him instinctively. Even my knees went weak, though the power wasn’t aimed at me.He didn’t say a word, but his presence made one thing clear: anyone who dared mock or touch me would regret it.Nicole, desperate to recover, tossed her hair and leaned into Mike’s arm. “At least my mate is a wealthy werewolf. Yours might look good, Evelyn, but for all we know he’s just a cleaner in a fancy suit.”I stiffened at the insult, but Dominic’s hand tig

Third Person POV The questions came fast.“Cass, how do you know he hates sharing rooms?”“Why do you and Evelyn’s husband seem… close?”Cass didn’t blink. He slid his hands into his pockets, calm as ever. “Because I read the guest forms,” he said, tapping his temple. “Manager habits. Dominic wrote no shared lodging in big letters. I notice details. That’s my job.” He gave a crooked smile. “Relax. I don’t keep secrets; I keep schedules.”Laughter broke the tension, and the room eased.Teresa nudged Evelyn. “If you want him to agree, stop arguing. Go soft. Act sweet. Alphas can’t resist that.”Evelyn blinked. “That works?”“With Alphas?” Teresa whispered. “Every time.”Across the lounge, Dominic was speaking with the resort manager. Evelyn’s wolf fluttered at the sight. She drew in a breath, gathered her courage, and crossed the room.He had just handed back a key card when she slipped behind him, arms sliding around his waist. Her cheek pressed lightly between his shoulder blades.Do

Evelyn's POV The car ride home was quiet at first. I leaned my head against the window, watching trees blur by, but my mind stayed fixed on one thing.I turned to him at last. “So… about last night.”Dominic’s grip on the wheel didn’t falter, but a faint smirk tugged at his lips. “What about it?”“You said I owe you a favor for switching rooms.” My voice was softer than I meant it to be. His eyes flicked to me briefly, before he returned them to the road. “You do,” he said simply.My heart skipped. “And what are you going to ask me for?”He didn’t answer right away. His jaw tightened as though he were weighing something, then finally he murmured, “Something only you can give. But I’ll collect when you’re ready.”I shifted in my seat, heat blooming in my cheeks. His words sat heavy in my chest, without thinking, I reached over, my hand brushing over his arm, then sliding down to cover his hand where it rested on the gear. His fingers stilled under mine, then slowly tightened, curling
