The Rejected Plump Mate, Now Wanted のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

AuroraI felt really lively and alive as I awoke this morning. I was still in the pajamas and the single-strand top that came with the pants, the same blue color blend that matched those of Damian from before.It seemed that was one of the colors he loved the most. Speaking of which, after he changed and left yesterday, I hadn’t seen him anywhere around again. I had eventually drifted off to sleep and was later woken up by the same maids from earlier who had brought in supper. I hadn’t even realized how hungry I was until I found myself digging into the food without pause, and afterward, I slipped right back into sleep again.And yet, often, I felt like he was still in the room… lingering somewhere near the door, watching me silently. It made me unbearably self-conscious, even of something as small as my breathing. But each time I turned to look, the door remained shut, completely still, without the slightest crack or movement.My mind drifted again, reminding me that this was his roo

DialaAfter the meal, I slowly lifted my gaze, offering my thanks to the Alpha and his Luna-to-be. My attention shifted to Darius; he looked more than delighted, completely absorbed in sharing this moment with Crystal… sorry, with me, since I was the Crystal he believed I was.Alpha Damian’s gaze lingered on me far longer than necessary, his eyes holding a quiet intensity that didn’t go unnoticed.But his attention shifted subtly when his mate stirred, and he waved, and everyone stood up from their seats, leaving the hall.I followed along, though not by choice. Darius wrapped an arm around me, guiding me out with an ease that felt far too familiar, while Damian and his mate remained behind.Even as I walked away, my senses sharpened, my ears straining to catch whatever conversation lingered behind us.Well, that was part of the abilities required for this mission.And just barely, I caught it, he mentioned they were going to see the doctor.Good.“You know,” Darius began, cutting thr

AuroraWhen Damian kissed me, truthfully, I wasn’t expecting it at all, and it hit me like a sudden explosion that sent intense sparks racing through my brain cells.The reaction was instant, the feeling… so unreal. Everything around me seemed to disappear, and my mind, my body, slowly melted into it. In that moment, it became everything I had ever wanted without even knowing I wanted it.Goddess… I had never felt anything so surreal and so real at the same time as what I felt within that short period, and somehow, I didn’t want him to stop at all.But eventually, he stopped and pulled away. At first, I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me, but slowly reality came crashing in so hard that my cheeks burned in shades of purple and red.Damian noticed and gently pulled me into a hug… a hug I didn’t want to pull away from either, at least for reasons I didn’t yet fully understand. I felt like there was a connection I couldn’t break away from, at least… not that I wanted to anyway.A

“…from the blood work, it appears the silver was only introduced during that attack,” he continued. “However…” he paused briefly, as though choosing his words carefully, “...the wolfsbane had already been present in her system beforehand.”The room seemed to still.“It was preexisting, and its effects were only intensified by additional exposure,” he added quietly.I felt the brutal shift in Damian’s expression.His gaze hardened instantly, something dark and sharp flashing through his eyes as confusion, anger, and something else entirely collided within him. He turned to look at me, searching, questioning… before snapping his attention back to the doctor.“Preexisting?”“Are you saying there has been traces of wolfsbane in her system even before now?”“I’m afraid, yes,” he confirmed, his tone grave as his attention shifted fully to me. “Can you remember anything, anything at all, that might be connected to this situation?” he asked carefully.I shook my head almost immediately. “No…

DamianI was there every step of the way, encouraging her throughout this process. If not for anything, she had been stronger than anticipated and was doing perfectly well. Her wolf was also as strong as I had thought.It made me begin to imagine things I would have loved to do with her. Aaron huffed, saying that kiss had only been a rehearsal. Silly wolf. Still, heat crept up my neck at the thought, subtle but unmistakable, and I could almost feel the faint burn of it reaching my face as my gaze darkened without permission. She caught me staring. Of course she did. Her cheeks dipped with shy awareness as she quickly turned her attention back to Doctor Andrew, avoiding me.A quiet chuckle left me, low and restrained, as my thoughts dragged me backward, back to that moment.Because honestly, I had expected her to falter at some point during the walk. To slow down. To show strain. Maybe even ask for help.But she hadn’t.I had to ask her if I could hold her hand, just to be certain, at
