Unholy Desire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Earlier, Alpha Maverick had returned to the room assigned to him at the Bloodfang Pack house, only to find it empty.Aurora was nowhere in sight.‘Where the hell did she go?’ he wondered, his jaw tightening.For a moment, he considered reaching out to her through the mind link, but he stopped himself.If she realized he already knew she had left the room, she might panic and avoid returning altogether.‘Besides,’ he thought coldly, ‘she acts brave, but she’s nothing more than a frightened little kitten underneath it all.’After searching through the pack house with no success, Maverick stilled himself and focused.Then he followed her scent.It lingered faintly in the air, not strong, but enough.And for someone like him, that was more than sufficient.It took some time, but eventually, her scent led him out of the pack house and toward one of the most popular clubs nearby, just a few blocks away.The moment he stepped inside, the noise hit him.Music. Laughter. Bodies moving.His gaz

Maverick’s shut his eyes as the kiss happened so suddenly that it completely caught Aurora off guard.Her eyes flew open. Her hand lifted slightly in the air, fingers curling into a loose fist as she held her breath, stunned by the sudden shift between them.Maverick’s lips moved against hers with a hunger he didn’t try to hide.To him, she tasted intoxicating. Sweet, yet laced with the sharp burn of vodka, a combination that made it impossible to pull away. He deepened the kiss, his grip tightening as if he needed to prove something to himself.Aurora felt lightheaded, like she had been pulled into something she couldn’t quite understand, something overwhelming and impossible to resist.Slowly, Maverick pulled back.His eyes opened, locking onto hers.For a brief moment, hesitation flickered across Maverick’s face as his gaze moved over her. Desire, jealousy, frustration… they all clashed within him, leaving him unsteady in a way he wasn’t used to.Kael stirred within him, restless a

Aurora took a warm bath, freshening up for the day. With no clothes of her own, she picked out one of Maverick’s black T-shirts and slipped it on. It hung loosely on her body like a gown, ending just above her thighs. She tied her hair into a ponytail, then grabbed a clean pair of Maverick’s underwear and wore it before stepping out of the room, not bothering to wait for the meal that was meant to be brought to her. She hadn’t eaten since the previous day, and hunger was beginning to settle in.As Aurora walked down the hallway, she noticed how unusually quiet it was which was unlike the liveliness she had seen the day before.Meanwhile, Maverick had left his room an hour earlier and headed straight to the Bloodfang Pack’s council hall, where Alpha Ethan had summoned him for a meeting.Upon arriving, Maverick took a seat and waited patiently. Making a strong first impression was important, and he wasn’t about to appear careless.After about seven minutes, Alpha Ethan finally walked in

He headed straight to the grand hall, where Alpha Ethan stood with his warriors, including his beta.“Alpha Ethan,” Maverick called as he closed the distance between them.Ethan frowned, his brows arching slightly. “You brought a lady into my pack, only for her to disrespect my authority?”“And what exactly does that mean?” Maverick asked. He knew Aurora could be bold and, at times, reckless with her words, but he doubted she would openly challenge an Alpha.“The lady you brought,” Ethan continued, pausing briefly as if choosing his words carefully. “She will not be released from my chamber until she apologizes. And right now, she refuses to do so.”“Alpha, you want her to apologize?” Maverick asked, and Ethan gave a small nod.“She should.”“Then tell me what crime she committed,” Maverick said evenly. “As her Alpha, I will handle her punishment and make sure she understands the consequences of defying you.”He chose his words carefully. The alliance had not yet been finalized, and t

Maverick stormed back into the room that had been assigned to him, Aurora following closely behind. The warriors holding Ethan’s sister shoved her inside. She stumbled and fell to the floor, and they immediately surrounded her, watching her with intense, unyielding gazes.“The rest of you, get ready. We leave immediately,” Maverick ordered in a stern voice before turning to arrange his luggage.Aurora stood quietly in the corner, her eyes fixed on Ethan’s sister as she begged for her life, clearly unaware of what was happening.For a brief moment, guilt crept into Aurora’s chest. If she had gone to Alpha Ethan when he had requested, maybe none of this would have happened, she thought. But she quickly shook her head in denial.“If I had gone to him, he would have made things worse for me,” she reasoned within herself.“Let’s go.”Maverick’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She blinked rapidly before nodding, as though compelled to obey.Moments later, Maverick, his warriors, and
