WANTED! KING NOLAN'S OBSESSION. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Reuben’s POVThe growl in Nolan’s voice settled heavily in the corridor.“Stay away from her.”For a second, nobody moved. The guards, me, even the air itself. Everything just seemed like it had been paused.I stared at him quietly, studying the fury hidden beneath that calm expression of his. It was controlled on the surface, but underneath? It was vicious.This wasn’t about pride.It wasn’t about his royal image either. It was something personal.And the realization made something dark curl inside me.The mighty Lycan King looked one sentence away from ripping my throat out simply because I showed interest in a girl he claimed to be done with.I almost laughed.Nolan wasn't one to give a fuck about women, he was never one to care enough for their issues to bother him.But this one...Instead, I tilted my head slightly. “And if I don’t?” I asked calmly, yet my tone remained firm.The guards straightened even more, like they were about to witness something deadly.I watched Nolan’s ja

Ronnie’s POV“You’re going.”Jessie’s voice came from the doorway of my room with the kind of confidence that meant I had no choice. I sighed tiredly, my fingers still moving across the keyboard.“No.”“Yes.”“No.”“Ronnie.”I finally looked up at her.She stood there with both hands on her waist, dressed already like she had somewhere important to be. Her curls bounced slightly as she tilted her head at me with that stubborn expression I knew too well.The one that usually meant she wouldn’t stop disturbing me until she got what she wanted.“I’m working,” I said dismissively.Jessie rolled her eyes dramatically before walking fully into the room.“You’ve been working for days.”“That’s usually how jobs work.”“Oh, please.” She snatched the laptop shut before I could stop her. “At this point, I’m convinced you and this laptop are secretly mated.”“Jessie.”“No. I’m serious.” She pointed at me accusingly. “You barely sleep, you barely eat properly, and every time I ask you to leave th

Ronnie’s POV“Nooo!” A scream tore through my throat as I pushed my body forward.I had already braced myself to go down the cliff, but instead, I now felt stable. Almost like the vehicle had come to a stop.My eyes fell open Instantly.Confusion got a hold of me the moment my eyes fell open.“How… How did I get here?” I said, my eyes scanning the dimly lit room. The only source of light in the room was a bulb that looked like it had lived longer than it was meant to. Overused. And now, it was just managing to give light from the little light left in it.I was certain just now that I was in a moving vehicle.That couldn’t have been a dream, could it?No! That felt too real to have been a dream.I stood up from the bed quickly, my eyes still scanning the room. The place was a small apartment with old furnitures.Breeze washed into the room from one of the side windows, the short curtain hanging over the window. Immediately the breeze flooded in, the smell of dust hit me.As I moved, th

Ronnie’s POVThe ride back to the pack felt longer than it should have.Painfully long.The car moved smoothly down the road, the soft hum of the engine filling the silence between me and the chauffeur Nolan had assigned to drive me back.I sat quietly by the window, my hands resting tightly on my lap.The familiar roads leading into the Silver Moon Pack slowly started appearing ahead, and the moment I saw the large gates in the distance, something inside me cracked all over again.Tears rolled down my face before I could stop them.I turned away quickly toward the window, hoping the chauffeur wouldn’t notice. Not because I cared what he thought, but because I was tired of looking weak.The pack buildings slowly came into view one after another.The bakery somewhere around the corner.The Pack’s training grounds.The small stores with glowing signs still hanging outside despite how late it already was.I was finally home.So why did it feel like I had left something important behind?

Ronnie’s POV“So what are you going to do now?”Jessie’s voice came from beside me as we both stared down at the glowing laptop screen sitting on the small table in front of us.I didn’t answer immediately.My eyes kept scanning through the email for what had to be the fifth time already, like somehow the words would rearrange themselves into something less shocking if I looked hard enough.But they didn’t.The message still sat there boldly in front of me.Alte Tech Corp had made my flight arrangements, hotel reservations and sent me a formal invitation to me. And I was supposed to arrive there in two days.Two freaking days.I leaned back slowly against the chair, dragging a tired hand down my face.“I honestly don’t know,” I muttered quietly.Jessie turned toward me immediately. “You’re seriously thinking about rejecting it?”I let out a frustrated breath. “It’s such short notice.”“That’s your problem?” Jessie stared at me like I had completely lost my mind. “Ronnie, this is Alte
