The Beast's Ugly Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

“Three days?” I blinked, wondering if I had misunderstood what Elowyn had just told me “I was unconscious that whole time?”We were all sitting around the bed where I had woken up, after I had put some food in my stomach and taken a bath. It was still a little hard for me to believe that, for the second time in my life, I had been in a coma for so long, but the more I regained feeling in my body, the more it made sense. My head was heavy, my stomach ached with hunger, and my body was so weak that I needed Elowyn's help to even walk to the bathtub.“What happened?” I asked, meeting their worried gazes “I… I remember trying to get out of that underground chamber, but… I threw something up…” I recalled, a shiver running down my spine “But… It didn’t look like blood. Or did I see wrong in the dark?”“No, you didn’t see it wrong.” Flora, who was already in the room after I returned from my bath, tapped her staff on the floor “It was… A symptom,” she murmured, leaving me more confused than

“What?” Elowyn asked, but they all stared at me as if I had just said something completely absurd, instead of the truth “What are you talking about, Holly?”I shook my head, realizing that I did, in fact, need to make them understand who they were talking to at that moment. They thought I was their daughter. They thought I had the potential that Estelle Nightmoor should have, being the child of the Alpha of that pack and a Moon priestess. I needed to explain who Holly Moonjoy really was, so that they wouldn't be too disappointed in the future.“I don’t know if I’m capable of doing this,” I confessed, a little embarrassed “I… I don’t live up to your expectations. It’s not the first time I’ve tried to manifest my wolf. I’ve spent my whole life trying to do this, but I’ve ne

I don't know how long I cried, but probably a long time. When I finally managed to control myself a little, my eyes were swollen, my face was all wet, and my chest ached from sobbing. Flora brought me some kind of tea that calmed me down a bit, and while she watched me drink, Elowyn smiled, her own face red from crying.“You can rest a little, darling.” she offered, caressing my face “Your father and I will stay here, don’t worry. We know you’ll need all our attention to adjust to your new home. This used to be your baby’s room, you know?” She looked around at the room full of light-colored furniture and lace sheets, the same one I’d seen in my dream “Your father hasn’t changed anything, except the bed. It’s good to be here again.” She leaned closer to her husband’s chest.“I co

“Don’t pressure her like that, Flora.” Kent placed his hands on my shoulders. “She’s tired and under a curse. Let her rest for today. Besides, her ability is rare and unpredictable. There aren’t even detailed descriptions of it in the books…”“Listen.” Flora leaned on her cane, leaning toward me, her gaze piercing “If I’m right, you’re capable of more than predicting the future, girl. The path of dreams is also a way to connect with the Goddess. But if you’re not yet capable of that, perhaps Kent’s little book is right. Perhaps we should start… Smaller. Now, lean back in your chair. And concentrate, not on your wolf or the Goddess. Think of the person your heart calls for…” Her words alarmed me, but she didn’t seem to care “Whoever that may be…”

This time, when I raised his arm, his muscles trembled, as if he were making a superhuman effort just to pass through the air surrounding us. His teeth clenched and I took a breath to ask him to stop, but the sensation of his hand on my cheek silenced me.It was… Real. Like, very real, much more so than when I was with Louis. So powerful that it made my eyes fill with tears and my heart race, as if the person in front of me was really Noah, in flesh and blood, not some kind of copy of him that was in the dream I had invaded.“It’s really you…” his murmur echoed my thoughts and, to my surprise, now his anger had been replaced by pain, so deep it seemed rooted in his eyes “I thought I’d never be able to feel you again…”Greedy, I tilted my face toward his, wonde
