SECOND CHANCE: CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN KING のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

HOPE’S POV.The silence in the room was not peaceful. Something had just shifted, and none of us could pretend otherwise.Garvin’s last words still lingered in the air, settling into the space between us in a way that made it hard to ignore."Your enemy is already inside these walls."I didn’t move.Neither did Hunter.But I didn’t need to look at him to know what he was thinking.I could feel it.The tension.The calculation.The anger he was trying to keep under control.And beneath all of that… something else.Something sharper.Awareness.Because we both knew one thing now.That wasn’t the end of it.There was more.There had to be.A man like Garvin did not come this far just to give us half-answers and warnings. Not when he knew exactly how much we needed what he knew.Not when he could see the position we were in.This… this was only the beginning.And he knew it.I slowly shifted my gaze to Hunter.He was already looking at Garvin.His expression had gone still again, but thi

HOPE’S POV.Garvin had stopped talking. He had refused to answer the question just as expected. But his words were still there, sitting heavy in the air like something that refused to leave."You didn’t end that war… you paused it."I felt it settle deeper the longer I stood there.Because now… things were starting to make sense.Not fully.Not clearly.But enough. Enough to give me concern. Enough to make me worry. Enough to make me fear even.My mind began moving quickly, pulling at everything that had happened since I stepped into this castle.The intruder.The poison.The body in the woods.Garvin’s warning.None of it felt separate anymore.None of it felt random. Everything felt like they were all connected.I inhaled slowly, my gaze dropping for a moment as I tried to piece it together.The sound in my room.The open window.The mud.The blood.That feeling I couldn’t shake…That I was not alone.My wolf stirred quietly.“It wasn’t random,” she said.“I know,” I replied.Becaus

HUNTER’S POV.The door closed behind Garvin with a soft click.For a moment, I thought the sound would echo considering how hard threw it.He had walked out in a mood I couldn't quite place. It wasn't anger in the real sense but it was close. Which made me wonder... Why did it bother him so much that I gave the order to kill someone else's mate? Why did he look so upset? What happened was terrible yes, but I didn't get why he was taking it so personally almost like... Almost like he could literally feel the pain of that alpha _alpha Magnus. It didn't quite make sense to me. Not unless he's related to Alpha Magnus or his late mate in some way.The room fell quiet immediately. Too quiet. The kind of silence that pressed in from all sides and made it hard to breathe or even sit comfortably for a second without feeling like you're being strangled from the inside out.Garvin had walked out like he hadn’t just changed everything.Like he hadn’t just dropped the kind of truth that could bre

HUNTER'S POV.The room was quiet again.But not like before.Not heavy with tension or anger.This time… it felt different.Softer.The air was still weighed down by everything Garvin had said—but not as tense or as suffocating as it was before. Now it was just lingering in the background like something neither of us could ignore, but for a moment, didn’t have to face.Hope was still close to me.Closer than she had been all night.I hadn’t stepped away, and neither had she.She stood there watching me with that look again, the one that clearly says she would always believe I could no wrong, and that alone did something to me.I became aware of it slowly, the small distance between us that suddenly felt too big.The way her presence alone grounded me even in the worst situations.I exhaled quietly, my gaze dropping for a second before lifting back to her.She was already looking at me. She hadn’t stopped.That struck me harder than anything Garvin had said.“You stayed…” I said, my vo

HOPE’S POV.The room returned to quiet after Garvin left.Hunter I decided to move to the bedroom.The mood was gone, ruined but it was late and we still needed to go to bed. Only we didn't exactly go to bed. Tonight didn't look much like the kind that brought sleep with it, so why try? Why even bother? Right now the only thing I could think about now was Garvin's words from earlier. “Your enemy is already inside these walls.”“They are already moving.”I sat at the edge of the bed, my hands resting lightly in my lap, while my eyes followed Hunter.He had not stopped moving since the door closed behind Garvin and we moved into the bathroom.He kept pacing, back and forth, back and forth.His steps were sharp and restless, like he was trying to burn off the frustration building inside him but by the look of things, it was not working.Not even close.His jaw was tight, his shoulders stiff, and even though he had not said anything yet, I could already feel it.He was angry.Not the l
