Sold To A Cursed Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

DRAVEN’S POV:It killed me to pronounce death on her, but it was either that, or I get dethroned and accused of having a hand in my daughter’s death. I stormed out of the council room into my room and Ragner followed me.“You’re not actually going to execute her, are you?” he slammed the door behind him.I turned and stared at him. “Do we do anything outside the council room pronouncements?” I probed.“You have to be joking,” Ragner was visibly pissed. “She’s here on a one-year contract. You and I know she did not kill Ella. The least you can do if you no longer want her is to send her away, not execute her.”His tone was rising. I recognized that voice. The one that was not speaking as Beta, but as friends who had grown up together and knew every little detail about each other.“You think I want this?” I snapped, equally letting out my frustration, “You think it’s easy for me to go from sleeping with her to watching her get roasted on a stake?” The quick shift in Ragner’s look was wh

ARIA’S POV:“Ugh!” The sharp pain in my head and shoulders pressed me back into bed. It took a few seconds and gentle efforts to open my eyes and I immediately recognized my environment, as well as remembered Nana stabbing a needle into my shoulder.“Argh!” My groans were faint, but somehow, it cued Nana and Elle into the room. “What is going on? What did you do that for?” I rapidly threw questions at her.“Welcome back, Aria. I hope your long rest was peaceful,” Nana pulled the drawer beside my bed and turned a cup of beverage. I pulled back and raised a brow.“You must think I am crazy to accept anything from you. What is going on?”Nana smiled. “I am not going to hurt you, Aria,”“You have done it before, what is stopping you from doing it again?”She cleared her throat. “Because if I wanted to, a week of unconsciousness is enough for me to do that,”“What? A week?” my eyes dashed to the digital clock that was always beside the bed. Nana was not lying, the clock’s calendar said so.

ARIA’S POV:“No! I won’t do that! I can’t!” I yelled at the top of my voice, pushing my chair backwards and walking to the living area.“Listen, Aria, this is not optional. You would hurt yourself if you don’t. You have to trust me.”“Trust? I trusted you to protect me, but now, you have shown you only needed a slight excuse to throw me out to the wolves to be killed and eaten.” Tears streamed down my cheeks.“A royal seed is not permitted to be born outside the confines of the pack, or his father’s home. This would kill you and the child,” Nana explained.“Going back will also mean killing me and the child, so I guess I get to choose how I die and I’ll choose anything over going back there.” Heartbroken was an understatement to how I felt. Elle was seated at the dining table and watched Nana and I go back and forth in the living area.“Aria, listen to me…”“No!” I interrupted, storming inside the room and shutting the door behind me. I was not willing to listen. I slowly slid to the

DRAVEN’S POV:“After everything you put her through, that’s how you want to play it?” Ragner scolded, as soon as we walked out of her room.“Now’s not the time, Ragner.” I shut him down, rushing into my room.“Now’s the only time, Dee,” he followed and slammed the door behind him. “This lady found out she was carrying your child and attempted to kill herself. Do you know the level of frustrated one has to be, for them to want to end their life, rather than have a child?”“My child!” I snapped. “Rather than have my child.” I emphasized, “I am very much aware of the frustration, because I am equally frustrated, Ragner and I don’t need you to rub it in my face.” I yelled. “She already knows the implications of carrying my child and she wanted a short cut. I know I’m cursed. I know she would not make it, but what did I do? Revive her, just to slowly watch her die.” I was breathing heavily at this point.“So, yes! I am aware of how frustrating it is. I am also aware that I am a horrible ma

ARIA'S POV“Don't you want to say your final goodbye?” Draven stood at the door of the room. I say with my legs folded on the bed. I wouldn't move. “Aria,”I shook my head, sending negative feedback. I didn't want to and Draven understood why. He took a deep breath and then pulled away.I couldn't bear to watch, or so I thought. After a few minutes, I ran to the window and watched as they carried her out of the pack.Draven was culturally prevented from burying Nana. She had no business with the pack and she died mysteriously in the Blue forest, so she belonged to the Blue forest.“Luna,” Nicolle stood at the door. There was a terrifying look on her face. I turned my head slowly in her direction.“The Alpha asked me to get something for you to eat. I just wanted to ask what you'd be interested in,” her voice was soft.“I'm fine,” my voice was barely above a whisper.“Oh, no. You're not.” Violetta walked confidently into the room, crossing her legs like she was on a runway. “Buried in
