The Seal and The Bond のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Harrison Hale's POV:I stood up in the upper walkway where I could see the whole courtyard. Our new warriors just finished their morning drills below and started training using their wooden weapons. Off to the side, Katherine stood alone and also watched them.Katherine stayed near the edge of the yard far enough to avoid interrupting but not so far as to seem afraid. No one tried to tell her to go. They simply glanced in her direction and continued their training.It had been a few weeks since she came to our land and I could see she was slowly getting used to it. That made me feel a little relieved.I also knew she still felt complicated about our bond so I did not stay close or call her that much. I didn't ask more questions that could make people notice us and I just watched her from afar. I was also making sure she had food, a warm place to sleep and enough space to be herself.And nothing that could be called favoritism.But still, my gaze always went in her direction without th

Katherine Lark's POV:That night, I did not sleep right away.I lay on my bed while staring at the ceiling and waiting for the throbbing pain in my chest to disappear. I still have no idea why I have this mark. All I knew was the elders of the Silvermoon Pack knew about it but they had no intention to tell me about it.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Most of the people in this land are already resting. But my thoughts were not letting me to rest. Also, Alpha Harrison's words kept replaying in my head.His words sounded simple polite and almost formal. But I knew he meant more than that. Maybe Alpha Harrison was also asking me to find him in case our bond became uncontrollable again.I turned to my side and gently pressed my hand on my chest. Then I started doing some breathing exercises until pain in my chest did not bother me again. Luckily, my bond with Alpha Harrison was calm tonight as if it was resting too. But I knew better.It was still unbroken and pulling us hard wit

Katherine Lark's POV:The morning quietly passed after that. Once the food was served, everyone quickly gathered to eat their breakfast. I also helped bring the bowls to the table and made sure everyone had their own share. After our breakfast, everyone slowly went back to their tasks. Some went to train while the others prepared to join Alpha Harrison to patrol around their land. I stayed behind to clean the kitchen with Fiona and the other omegas. When we were done, Fiona told me I could rest for a while.I stepped outside to get some air.The new warriors were already busy running in the training grounds. The sun was still gentle and not too hot yet. The omegas were also busy gathering their dirty clothrs to wash them in the river nearby. I took a deep breath and decided to let myself enjoy my rest for a while.I was thinking of assorting my things while resting in my room. But before I could do that, a loud shout came from the front gate."Alpha Harrison is back!"I turned around

Katherine Lark's POV:After sitting with Alpha Harrison under the tree, I stayed there for a little while longer. The air felt calm and the sounds of the pack going about their daily tasks filled the space around me. But eventually, I knew I had to return inside. There were still a few tasks left to do and staying idle for too long would make me overthink and feel restless again.I stood up and brushed the dirt off my clothes before walking toward the main hall. But when I got closer, I noticed something was a little different today.There were soft murmurs filling the courtyard. Everyone stood in small groups and whispered to one another. Some looked curious while the others looked excited. There were also a few people who sremed tense. It was not the usual noise of daily life. This felt a little surprising and expectant.I slowed my steps and observed my surroundings. When I reached the entrance of the main hall, my eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful woman standing near the

Katherine Lark's POV:The rest of the morning slowly passed but my mind was still a little distracted.After walking Elina back to her mother, I visited the healer to help them dry the herbs we had picked the other day. I carried the baskets to the open shed near the healer's room where strings were already tied across wooden beams. I carefully spread the herbs and separating them by kind like the healer had taught me. My fingers worked from habit now since I had done this many times.But still, Jannica's voice stayed in my head. Soon, I let out a slow breath and focused on my hands."Focus, Katherine." I murmured to myself.I had just finished tying the last bundle when I sensed another person behind me. But unlike Jannica's presence, this one was calm and familiar to me. I turned around and saw Alpha Harrison standing a few steps away.He was not in full armor today. Instead, he wore simple training clothes with his sleeves rolled up to his elbow. He looked tired but not strained.
