The Wolf King's Secret Son 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 201 - 챕터 210

KANE POVNow that Liana's with me again, surely this means she's forgiven me, and we have a real chance at the future we should have had all along. I imagine proposing to her once this rogue mess is sorted out—something grand, romantic, and worthy of everything she is to me. I will make her my Luna, and she’ll rule the Blood Moon Pack by my side.We trudge through the deep snow. The landscape feels alien under all that white blanket, and more than once we have to backtrack for landmarks to guide us.When we skirt the edge of a partially frozen lake, Liana quickly and eagerly bends down to brush the snow off something, which turns out to be a small stone with a deep and rich blue—azure, I think it's called, because it’s shot through with veins of darker blue.“Oh, Lina loves these! She calls them dragon eggs,” she holds it up to me.I grin.“Really?”“Let's find some more for her, then,” I happily joined her, and we spent the next few minutes combing the lakeshore.I find another stone

Liana POV When did these two become rogues?“Lia? Or is it Liana?” my supposed father says first.I grit my teeth in disgust. He doesn’t even remember my name. I look at Mom and she doesn’t look like she cares about seeing me, nor is surprised to.“I said, move away from him!”“I've heard you can't even shift,” my mother finally adds disdainfully.“And yet here you are, trying to fight us with that flimsy human body of yours.”“I don’t care, just back off. You can't have him.”“Oh?” His eyes shine with malice. “And who's going to stop us? You?”I clench my fists as I ignore the trembling in my limbs.“If I have to.”They exchange amused glances as if my defiance is nothing more than a child's tantrum. It's a look I remember all too well from my childhood, and it makes my blood boil.“You abandoned me. You both left me to fend for myself. And now you show up like this? As monsters?” I spit out.“Monsters? We're stronger than we've ever been. This is evolution, bijou.”“Don’t call me t

Jimmy's face flushes red, whether from embarrassment or rage, I can't tell, but the crowd is reacting to it in a way that satisfies me.“Oh yes,” I continued. “Your precious Jimmy isn't as noble as he pretends to be. When I turned him down, he made it his mission to drive me out of this pack. The whispers, the 'accidental' slights, and the constant questioning of my loyalty…it all started with him.”I turn to face the assembled pack members, my chest heaving. “I am not a traitor. I have worked my fingers to the bone for this pack. I've poured drinks, cleaned up your messes, listened to your troubles, even when some of you looked at me like I was dirt under your feet.”Tears start to blur my vision, but I blink them away angrily.“Yes, my parents were swindlers. Yes, they were lunatics. And yes, somehow they've turned into monsters. But I am not them. I am my own person, and I have built a life here with my own two hands.“You want to judge me? Fine. But look in the mirror first. We've

I grab a marker and write this theory in large letters across the top of the board. It's the cornerstone of our investigation now.Then as I step back to examine the board again, a knock at the door breaks my concentration.Dan enters, his face grim but his eyes alert despite the late hour.“You look like hell,” he says with one look at my disheveled appearance.I make a wry smile. “Thanks. You're not exactly fresh as a daisy yourself.”Dan chuckles, but it's a tired sound.“I've got an update for you," he says, his tone turning serious. "We've been tracking Jimmy's recent movements, like you asked."My attention sharpens. “And?”Dan pulls out a small notebook and opens it.“It's interesting, to say the least. Jimmy's been making a lot of late-night trips into the forest, always to the same general area. And get this, it's near where you documented to have had the most rogue ‘sightings.”“That can't be a coincidence. What else?” I ask.“He's been making calls to an unknown number, alw

“Well, you should have killed your father a long time ago,” the man comments, unimpressed.“I'm confident I can get what I want without my father. In fact, I'm in an even better position now,” Jimmy boasts.Silence falls right after.Then Jimmy clears his throat again when the stranger doesn’t say a word of praise or reproof.“There's another loose end I'll be dealing with soon. A scapegoat, if you will.”I frown, almost already knowing who else is in Jimmy's crosshairs.“There's a woman, originally from Blood Moon. She's also been poking her nose where it doesn't belong. In fact, it was because of her I had to kill father, she was the one feeding him words.”Jimmy is quiet for a bit before he replies, “But…but she won't be a problem much longer."Of course, he’s talking about me.“I assure you she’ll be taken care of soon enough," Jimmy says casually as if discussing the weather rather than my murder.“Once she's gone, there will be no one left to challenge my position or question it
