THE WOLFLESS LUNA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

The voice in my head did not disappear after the rejection. I ran, not because I was afraid of them, but because I was afraid of myself. The forest swallowed me quickly, the cold air biting against my skin as I pushed forward, my breath uneven, my mind racing. This is not real, I said under my breath. But the voice answered again. It is real. I stopped suddenly, my chest rising and falling as I looked around, searching for something I could not see. Who are you? I demanded. It felt like something was waiting and watching. A sharp pain shot through my chest without warning, forcing me to grab onto a tree as I gasped. Something moved inside me. Not like a wolf. Not like anything I had ever felt before. “You are not empty,” the voice said again. My hands trembled. Then what am I? I asked. “You are unfinished.” The word stayed in my mind longer than it should have, and it did not feel like an insult or a mistake, but like a truth I had never been allowed to understand. My breathing slo

They did not wait until morning to decide my fate. By the time Kael brought me back, the entire pack had already gathered again. This time, not to celebrate but to judge. The elders stood at the front, their expressions hard, their decision already made before I even arrived. She is unstable, one of them said. She is dangerous, another added. I stood in the center again, but this time I did not feel small. I felt something else. “I did nothing wrong,” I said, my voice steady despite the tension in the air. You exist as a risk, the elder replied. Kael remained silent beside them. That hurt more than the words. “You are banished,” the leader said. The word echoed through the clearing in a way that made everything else fade, and for a brief moment, it felt like the ground beneath me had disappeared. I stood there, surrounded by people I had grown up with, people who had watched me train, speak, and try to belong, and yet none of them stepped forward to question the decision. Not one

Kael moved the second my power rose again. He stepped in front of the elders, placing himself between me and them, his posture firm, his eyes locked on mine with full attention. “Stand down,” he ordered. But I did not. The energy inside me pounded again, stronger than before, pressing against my chest as if it was trying to break free completely. I cannot control it, I said, Kael’s eyes sharpened. Then you need to learn, he replied. The elders reacted immediately. “She is a threat,” one of them said. “She must be contained now.” Kael did not turn to them. No, he said. The word landed with authority. I will handle this, he added. You already handled it, I said. “You rejected me.” This is not about that anymore he said, but it was. The voice inside me stirred again. He is lying. My chest tightened slightly. Kael stepped closer. You are coming with me, he said. I shook my head. “No.” The ground beneath us trembled again. You do not get to decide for me anymore, I added. The space

The pain did not stop this time. It spread through my body slowly, forcing me to bend slightly as I tried to stay on my feet, my hands tightening as something inside me pushed harder than before. “This is not normal,” Kael said, his voice tense. I let out a strained breath. I already told you, I said. The voice inside me did not sound calm anymore. It sounded certain. It is time. My heart slammed against my chest. Time for what? I asked. No answer came. The words settled inside me and this time, they did not confuse me, but instead sharpened something in my mind that had been unclear before. I remained where I was, even as the sensation within my chest deepened, not rushing, not fading, but building with steady intent. My breathing slowed on its own, matching the rhythm of whatever was unfolding inside me, and for the first time, I stopped trying to understand it completely. There was no panic, no struggle, only awareness that something important was happening whether I was ready

The truth did not scare me. It changed me. I stood straighter, my breathing steady as the weight of everything settled into place, because if what I saw was real, then nothing I believed about myself had ever been true. “They lied to me,” I said quietly. Kael did not answer. But his silence felt different now. The elders stepped forward again, their fear now mixed with urgency. She cannot leave, one of them said. I turned towards them slowly. “Watch me,” I said. The power inside me responded immediately, rising without resistance, no longer unstable, no longer confused. You do not belong here, the elder said. I held his gaze. I know, I replied. The voice inside me spoke again. This was never your home. I took a step back. No one stopped me. Not because they did not want to, but because they could not. As I turned to leave, the voice said one last thing. And now…they are coming for you. I froze because this time it did not mean the pack. It meant something far worse. The warning
