TWO ALPHAS ONE BOND のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

LYRA"She's a human. No abnormalities detected."Kael's voice was flat, as he set the lab report back on his desk. The words should have brought relief. Instead, they hung in the air like an accusation waiting to be disproved.I stared blankly at Kael, my mind struggling to catch up.I'm a human.That's what it said. That's what the tests showed.So why didn't it feel true?"Impossible," Silas said quietly.Kael's eyes flicked to him. "The lab results are clear.""Lab results can be wrong," Silas countered. His eyes hadn't left me since I'd walked into the room. "Her healing was abnormal. Elara documented it.""Elara documented faster healing," Kael corrected. "Which can occur in humans under extreme stress. Adrenaline. Survival instinct."Silas's jaw tightened, but he didn't argue further.Kael stood, gesturing toward the door. "You're free to go, Miss Selene. For now."I blinked. "For now?""You'll remain on pack lands under supervision," he said. "You're not to leave without expr

LYRAThe air between us crackled with tension so thick I could barely breathe.Zeviar's arm was still around my waist, solid and unyielding. Orion's hand gripped mine, warm and refusing to let go. And I was caught between them, the both of them pulling me in opposite directions until I thought I might split in half."Let. Her. Go." Zeviar's voice was low and dangerous.Orion's jaw tightened. "You first."I'd had enough."Both of you—stop!" I wrenched myself free, stumbling back several steps. My chest heaved as I glared at them. "I'm not a toy you can just fight over."Zeviar's expression darkened. "Lyra—""No." I held up a hand, cutting him off. "I'm done with this. Done with both of you acting like I don't get a say in any of this."Orion opened his mouth, but I turned on him too."And you—" My voice shook. "You show up, say all these things, make me feel things, and then what? You're just going to stand here and posture like some alpha in a—"I stopped myself, blinking back the hea

ZEVIARIt's been two weeks.Two fucking weeks since I last saw her.I told myself it was necessary. That distance would give me clarity, help me think past the pull of the bond and make rational decisions about what came next.I told myself a lot of things. But none of them were true. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the stack of reports on my desk without actually seeing them. Financial projections. Territory disputes. Council briefs. All of it blurred together into meaningless noise.Because all I could think about was her. The way she'd looked at me in that clearing before Orion showed up. The way her body had fit against mine when I'd caught her. The way her vanilla scent had wrapped around me and refused to let go."You're being an idiot," Zayn growled.“I'm being practical.”"You're being a coward."I clenched my jaw, ignoring him. He'd been relentless for days now. Pacing and snarling. Demanding I go to her.But I couldn't.She was a human. A weak one at that. A politica

ORION Nightshade was struggling. I stood at the entrance of the medical wing—a converted warehouse on the eastern edge of our territory—watching wolves come and go. Some were sick, others were helping tend to those who'd fallen ill. The fever started three weeks ago with just a handful of cases. Now it was spreading faster than we could contain it. Mara, our head healer, emerged from one of the rooms, stripping off her gloves. She looked exhausted. "How many today?" I asked. "Fifteen new cases." She rubbed her eyes. "We're running low on the suppressants. The human medications aren't doing anything anymore." "Because it's not a human disease," I said. "No. It's not." She met my gaze. "Alpha, I think this is magical in origin. Something in the territory. I can't treat it without knowing the source." My jaw tightened. "Keep doing what you can. I'll handle the supply issue." She nodded and disappeared back into the medical wing. I turned and walked through the compound

ZEVIAR I stood in front of the mirror in my private bathroom, gripping the edge of the sink hard enough that my knuckles went white. My reflection stared back at me. Pale, with shadows under my eyes that hadn't been there a month ago. I looked like hell. I felt worse. The pain started in my chest three days ago. A dull, persistent ache that spread through my ribs and settled deep in my bones. Zayn was quieter than he'd ever been, his presence in my mind dimmed to barely a whisper. We were dying. And I'd done it to myself. Two weeks. Two weeks of avoiding her. Telling myself it was strategic, that distance would give me clarity, that I could figure out a way around this that didn't make me look weak. Two weeks of being a coward. "Go to her," Zayn said, his voice so faint I almost didn't hear it. “I will.” "When?" “Today.” I'd made the decision last night, lying awake in bed while the curse gnawed at my insides. The ball was tomorrow and Kael's ultimatum hung over me like a
