The Beta’s Unwilling Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Tessa POV“Petty?” I landed him a slap on the face as he held onto the side of the face where I had just slapped. Shocked in his eyes, obviously he wasn’t expecting it.“How dare you? I gave up my pack’s respect, supported you with everything I had, and you mock me behind my back? With…” I glared at Lyra. “This?” I added. My wolf surged forward, and I felt the mate bond between us wounded as I felt the pain. Broken, “I reject you, Sebastian . I, Tessa Taron, daughter of Taron Ryk, Alpha of the Icevein Pack hereby reject you as my mate!” The moment I said those words, I felt another pain, sharper and painful than the first as it tore through my heart so deeply. Lititi is roaring, roaring in pain as I feel the bond break. I clutched my chest as I staggered, trying to balance my steps while enduring the pain.He sneered, unfazed as he chuckled at life. “Those words don’t have an effect on me. You love me so much and will always forgive me.”The words were like a slap, but they fueled my

Tessa’s POVI hurriedly got dressed and left. The drive back to the Ironclaw Pack was a blur, the road stretching endlessly before me as my mind churned with the memories of the previous night with this stranger, the sting of Sebastian’s betrayal, the reckless abandon of the Gray Zone, and the stranger’s furious departure after discovering my mating mark, it all swirled together in my head as storm of emotions I couldn’t stop. My wolf, Lititi, was restless too, pacing inside my head. She was angry, hurt, but also defiant, urging me to be strong and not feel weak for the messy situation I found myself in. I gripped the steering wheel tighter as I finally pulled into the driveway of ironclaw, the mansion I shared with Sebastian. Only the sight of the house made my mood change as fresh memories of Sabastian cheating played right in front of me in my head. The scene came flashing back. I could even see their lustful faces as they kissed.Soon, I stepped out of the car. My black dress, cr

Alaric’s POVI strode through the towering stone archway of the Werewolf Court. My navy suit hugged my body as I adjusted my tie, my cold eyes fixed on her. Business with the council had brought me here today, my routine matters for the Frostbane Pack as their alpha, nothing I hadn’t handled a dozen times before as the youngest high-ranking member of this ancient institution. My mind was already on the documents I needed to review when a familiar scent hit me, sweet and intoxicating, like frost-kissed roses. My wolf, Kael, stirred inside me, his low growl vibrating in my chest. I stopped mid-step, my golden eyes narrowing as I scanned the courtyard only to see this petite lady a few distance from me.There she was, Tessa. Her petite body stood as she turned to me, her dark hair was a tangled mess and her pale face set with determination. The sight of her sent a jolt through me, memories of last night flashing back without hesitation, her bold, slurred words at the Gray Zone, the heat

Tessa’s POVSuddenly, my eyes drifted to Alaric’s hand, where he’s holding a slim manila folder that dangled loosely between his fingers. His expression was unreadable, a mask of cold indifference carved into his face. Without a word, he stepped inside, brushing past me as if my doorway was his to claim. His scent hit me as it trailed behind him, and my wolf, Lititi, stirred uneasily in my chest. A sudden excitement I do not understand. The urge to shut her up gnawed at me but before I could do that, my eyes fell as he paced slowly around my room, observing my belongings. And I snapped.“Hey, you can’t just…” I started, my voice harsh, but he ignored me, moving to the rickety table in the center of my small living room. He set the folder down. My bare feet moved to the door as I shut the door properly behind him, my grip on the frying pan tightening. “What do you think you’re doing, Alaric? I told you I don’t need you barging into my life.”He didn’t look at me as he nudged the folder

Alaric’s POVI can’t help it. Whenever I’m near her, it soothes my wolf. Loved, peaceful, and happy, her presence brings a sense of calm I’ve never known. Over the years, I’ve been a loner. Nothing stirs joy or even contentment in me. I’ve tried to drown it out, spending nights with whores, their fleeting touches meaningless despite my wolf’s primal hunger. I keep my distance from mated wolves, their bonds a reminder of a vulnerability I refuse to entertain. Yet, here I am, drawn to Tessa Icevein, the pull cracking the walls I’ve built around my heart. Love terrifies me. Its scars run deep, caused by my mother’s betrayal after my Alpha father’s death. She remarried, choosing her new mate’s claim to the tribe over me, her own son. She drove me out at age 5, her act still traumatized me. Abandoned, I scraped through a brutal life until a strange Alpha took me in, his daughter Selene loving me like a brother. But when my grandfather reclaimed me to lead the Frostbane Pack, I swore never
