Jaded Hearts のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

TaylorMatt and I left the hotel early Saturday morning for our flight back home. I slept the entire night, but I still woke up exhausted. Matt had to carry me from the car to the plane because I couldn’t keep my eyes open. He buckled us in while we waited for takeoff, but I just wanted to eat something, crawl into bed, and pass out. Shane walked into the cabin a little after we sat down, full of way too much energy. “Italy was incredible. The men here made me easily forget about my man problems back home. I almost didn’t want to leave. So, why are we leaving early?” he asked, looking over at Matt accusingly.“That’s my fault. I’m not feeling too well, so we decided to head back home,” I admitted. “Aww, well, I hope you feel better soon. What can I get you?”“Orange juice, please?”“Sure! You know what, the Luna lived for orange juice when she was …” Shane stopped speaking mid-sentence and looked back at me from the kitchen area. “Goddess?”The look on his face made me chuckle. “W

TaylorThe guys left Tyson in the cells, chained to the wall. Morgan had attempted to talk Kade into at least unchaining him, but he refused. When you have Hades in your possession, you don’t take any chances. Three pack members were assigned to stay down in the basement and keep their eyes on him: two in wolf form and one in human form. They had all their bases covered. But even with everything settled down in the cells, Matt was not happy with me. At all. I knew it was a gamble trying to talk to Tyson, but I had to know why he was doing this, and I knew Matt would not allow it. So, I made a decision that turned out to be the worst possible one. I followed Matt outside to the gazebo, where he took a seat and rested his head in his hands. I wanted to say something to him, but I knew there was nothing I could say. So, I just sat quietly and waited. Eventually, he decided to speak, but the anger lacing his words cut deep. “Why would you deliberately put yourself and our child in dan

MattMeeting the parents. Why was I so nervous? At this point in our relationship, I knew that Taylor and I would still be together no matter what her parents thought of me, but I still wanted to make a good impression. I had changed my clothes three times before Taylor went into the closet and grabbed a simple blue polo and jeans for me. “This? Really? You don’t think I need to wear a tie or something?”“No. My dad’s a very casual guy, so you don’t need to dress up for him. He’ll appreciate the fact that you’re even there. The tie won’t change anything.”I put on the clothes she chose, and we were soon down in the garage, ready to leave. “Can I drive?” Taylor asked, looking excitedly at my truck. It was a full-size lifted Ram 1500. I usually had to help her in and help her out of it, but she wanted to drive, so who was I to tell her no? “Sure, I don’t mind riding shotgun.”After I lifted her into the driver’s seat, she settled in and moved the seat all the way up to the steering

Taylor“Are you and Kade alright now? Did he like his cake?”“Yes! He didn’t get to eat any of the one I made for his birthday, so he was really happy to get this one,” Morgan replied with a smile. “I took care of all the other goodies you made. Believe it or not, it’s really easy to get a bunch of wolves to take free, delicious baked goods,” Alaia said. The three of us were in her office, trying to figure out exactly what a Beta and Gamma female were responsible for doing. I honestly had no clue and hoped that she could fill us in. “Okay, so your roles will be on the same level as your mates, but just on a less physical, more supportive level. Make sense?”I quickly shook my head. “No, not at all.”“Umm, alright. I’m the Luna, so my duties are on par with the Alpha’s. He does the majority of the work to keep things running, and I’m his support. He may want to host a party for visiting alphas to negotiate alliances and such, and it’s my job to make sure the party and all the guests

MattThis had been a terrible, long day, and I was glad it was coming to an end. After Taylor fell asleep in the room for the third time, I picked her up and carried her to our room. She swore she wasn’t tired, but her body was telling me otherwise. I peeled off her clothes and placed her in bed before I took a shower and climbed in with her. As soon as I shut my eyes, I was woken up by a mindlink. I’m sorry for linking you so late, Gamma, but the prisoner is requesting to speak to Ms. Taylor. Absolutely not. What the hell does he want?He won’t say, he refuses to tell us, but he’s requesting her presence in the cells. I don’t care what he’s requesting; she’s not coming down there. It’s been a long-ass day, and she’s exhausted. You know what? I’m on my way. Yes, Gamma. What the hell did this guy want now? It was clear that he had caused enough drama, and now he was “requesting” that Taylor come down to the cells? Fuck that and fuck him. Obviously, I’d been too nice. That’s ab
