The Scarred Mate He Never Loved のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

RitaI don't know how long the thoughts lingered, hovering around the rigid walls of my heart and pulling at me, at my every breath and consciousness, that I even forgot how stinky this cell was, and then every other thing around me.They faded into nothingness as fresh heat curled up around me. Just when I heard the gates opening, only that it made my chest race violently when I saw two guards walking up towards me.I recognized them instantly, the same ones who had dragged me down here, the same ones who had locked me away like I was nothing.Their faces were carved from stone, unreadable, merciless. Their dark livery clung to their bodies, every movement of their chests rising and falling with a quiet, controlled menace that made something cold twist deep inside me.I was supposed to be used to guards storming up to me with their strong demeanor and hateful glares, but somehow this was different.With the awareness of the council summons, it wasn't anything like Marvin ordering me

RitaThe guards held me bound, securing me in place even after Alpha Marvin left the room.Something in the atmosphere unsettled me, charged as the room felt tense, with the elders still seated. Their hateful glares filled me and swept around my body, and somehow it unsettled me, in ways I can't fully explain.But I refused to show it. I wouldn’t give them that satisfaction. I wouldn’t let them see how deeply it affected me. I was innocent of whatever crime I was accused of, and somehow, something told me they knew I was, but because of their deep-rooted hatred and the believe that I was a curse among them, they had decided to judge me wrongly.Just anything to end my very existence. The realization weighted heavier on my chest, making something inside me to crack violently.The guards didn’t release my wrists either. They didn’t move an inch. They stood there like statues, their hold firm and merciless, as though I were nothing more than a prisoner cursed to remain under the weight

MarvinBack in my room, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that this wasn’t just coincidence. It sat wrong in my chest, heavy and unrelenting. How could we suddenly have an attack in Silvermoon, right at the borders, and still have no trace, no identity, no presence, of whoever dared to cross into our territory?When I had paced the entire northern border earlier, I didn’t pick up a single scent. Nothing. No lingering trace, no foreign smell, nothing that could suggest rogues or outsiders. It wasn’t even that they were subtle, it was worse. It was like they didn’t exist at all.I didn't catch any scent, or any dead body, or any blood, yet we were attacked. Two of my warriors were badly wounded and currently at the pack clinic, and I'm not sure they would survive either.It sounded strange in a way and still unsettling. When I had stared at Rita through that window, Kendrick was howling violently in my head and almost surfaced, and the reason I had left the window. Something shifted in m

RitaThe room felt too calm, too soothing, too safe that I didn’t even allow myself to dwell on the uneasy feelings and creeping doubts trying to slip in after Beta Renz had left.I found my arms curled deeper into the duvet, the fabric soft and almost unreal beneath my palms. I glanced back at the window, then slowly toward the bookshelves arranged neatly in the room. A quiet chuckle escaped me before I could stop it, my gaze lingering there longer than necessary.I loved reading books, and usually took some… or rather slipped some from her room each time I cleaned it. But I made sure to be discreet and would return them whenever I was done reading them.Becky didn’t really have good books that interested me, except a few novels she never truly opened the pages of. And since I wasn’t allowed to leave the house except for errands, not allowed to attend school or receive any form of proper education, I clung to the little freedom I had, oftentimes, reading through the books I secretly

Marvin“About the guard and the omega in the open cell, I want them punished and isolated from the rest of the pack members until I say otherwise,” I instructed, turning toward Renz, only to pause as I caught the strange shift in his expression.I knew him too well, far too well, not to recognize when something was off. The slight tension in his jaw, the hesitation in his gaze… it wasn’t unfamiliar. It was the same look he wore whenever he had something buried deep in his chest, something he wasn’t sure how to say.Or at least, that was what I thought.“Regarding the guard and the omega… I’m sorry. But I let them out during the attack,” he admitted carefully. “I ordered one of the guards to release the prisoner so he could also protect the packhouse alongside the warriors present. And with how severe the attack was… it never really crossed my mind to tell you. At least, not until now.”His words were cautious, measured, but I could already feel it. That slow, simmering rage crawling b
