Too Late for Regrets: Alpha Husband Rejects my rejection.의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 69

I run without thinking of all the clothes I'm leaving behind, or all the people I might have wanted to say goodbye to once upon a time.I run because I know if I don't, Jack's tears or Coren's pleas might shackle me to the pack once again.I don't think of anything I might need to take along with me, I just run and keep running, Thea's paws pounding steadily on the soft forest earth even as we pass the Silvercrest borders.Tears roll down my cheeks when I breathe in the air, my body and mind officially outside the pack for the first time since I decided I wanted to leave six years ago.I'm out but that only makes me want to go further. I keep running even when Thea's legs shake.After hours of pushing myself forward, Thea forces me to stop, changing back into human form and letting out exhausted whines in my mind. She's tired, but it's like a hunger has been lit up in me and it won't be sated until I'm as far away from the Silvercrest pack as I can be. I keep moving, walking in the dr

The Alpha of the Moonveil pack sits behind a wooden desk, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp on me as I step in through the door.Under the soft light of the lamps at all corners of the room, I get my first real look at the man known famous for leading a pack that keeps to itself, and never interferes in the politics of other packs.The Alpha of the Moonveil pack is older than Coren.Streaks of gray run through his dark hair and he has the calm presence of someone who has ruled for a long time. He reminds me faintly of Coren's father, Simon but I can tell he's not as old.His gaze drops to my stomach, but unlike his warriors he doesn't react outwardly. There's no sharp inhale or visible surprise. He only looks back up at me and lifts one eyebrow as he asks calmly, "You travelled this far alone?"The question is simple but it carries a force that feels heavy, like weight on my chest.A flicker of panic cuts through me but I steady myself quickly, "Yes. I did."He leans back slightl

My magic rises from deep within me, smoother than it ever has before. Like it has been waiting for me to call it, magic flares from me in controlled amounts.Gold and white light flickers at the edges of my vision as I lift my hands and each wave I release works to follow the things I draw in the air, "Conceal me."Sigils form in the air beneath my fingers."Send prying eyes away."The words leave my lips firmly and magic answers back. It ripples outward, spreading through the trees like a blast of wind."Protect me. Protect my child."This time the magic doesn't just ripple, it surges, blowing out in a wave of gold and white light.The sigils I've drawn ignite faintly in silver before dissolving into the air around me.As I repeat the enchantments to send everyone and everything around me away, my heart calms down slowly.My magic flows all over the space around me and when it gets to the trees, they tremble slightly, my magic informing me that I have now used them as anchors. Golden

I get up from the floor slowly and put on my coat. I don't bother wrapping it tightly around myself like I did when I left the cottage this morning, I let it hang loosely, not bothering about the flashes of skin that show but instead focusing my intent on the barrier instead.Calling back my magic isn't as easy as breathing it out."The spell is done. The dome can fall."I chant the words softly under my breath, watching the colors and threads around me pulse with the command, unraveling as they come apart.The trees I used as anchors shake lightly, the leaves rustling as if blown by a soft wind as the barriers I placed come crashing down.Nothing changes for me. I still see the forest and the trees, but the barriers were never meant to make anyone else invisible from me.They were meant to keep me hidden from everyone else, and that's exactly what they did.Seren is the one who lunges at me first.I see the moment she turns and catches her first glimpse of me. The next moment her for

The Moonveil Alpha's eyebrows rise slightly and he directs his gaze to me."You concealed yourself?"Seren doesn't let me respond. She cuts in sharply, "She concealed herself from all three of us. Whatever she did was strong enough to hide herself completely, and that kind of... trickery? THAT KIND OF DECEPTION IS ENOUGH TO ENDANGER THE PACK.I suggest we kick her out."For the first time today my heart actually jolts from shock and fear.I haven't even spent a whole day here and she's trying to get me kicked out?When I look at Seren now, it's hard not to see someone who acts exactly like Tracy, even though she looks nothing like her. It seems behind that pretty face is a heart that's set to antagonize me. If I had known someone like her was here, I would have never made the Moonveil pack my next stop."It's not our culture to throw out people we granted refuge, Seren."The Alpha sounds totally calm but when he looks at me again there's a stony look in his eyes."What did you say you
