Resisting The Savage Alpha Brothers のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

KAIDA"Favorite color?" I pressed, my finger moving from one brother to the next, demanding a response.Malachi was present, though his reluctance was palpable. I couldn't bring myself to care. It was only after Caspian's direct order that he agreed to participate in this Q&A session I had initiated. As my mate, I couldn't exclude him, and, though I'd rather not admit it, he likely held the most insightful answers.His antagonism, his aloofness, his perpetual conflict with me—it needed to cease. I was weary of navigating our relationship with such caution. And there was no more opportune moment to address our underlying issues than now.The brothers answered in turn: Asher, Caspian, and finally, Malachi."Red.""Silver-gray.""Rose pink."I frowned, expecting a different response. Something more akin to gray, ash, or black... muted tones that resonated with their personalities and reputations.Asher's penchant for vibrant colors was understandable; his personality was naturally vivaci

MALACHIThe sound of her cry ripped me from the abyss, a jolt as violent as a tornado's touch. The wildness within me, that relentless beast, clawed at the edges of my control, desperate to maintain its grip. But her cry, a beacon in the storm, empowered me. Consciousness flooded back. I saw my claws, retracting just as they were poised to tear into Kaida's chest.The monster, driven by a singular, savage intent, had sought to claim her heart, leaving no chance of survival. Kaida, overwhelmed by terror, had succumbed to the shock, collapsing. I shifted, just in time to catch her before her head could strike the ground. Twice now, the monster had tried to end her life, and twice, she had somehow subdued it. The first time, it was her blood. This time, it was her voice. Perhaps, as Caspian had suggested, her blood wasn't the key to breaking our curse.The mating ritual, the supposed cure we'd clung to, had failed. My ears strained, picking up the sounds of my brothers, still lost to t

CASPIAN "Welcome home," Asher greeted, opening the door. His expression shifted as he read my face. "Bad news," he stated flatly.Elara's prophecy weighed heavily on me, a shadow that had followed me throughout the journey. Asher, ever perceptive, saw through my carefully constructed facade.I sighed. "Malachi?""He'll be back soon. He checks in, waiting for your return."I had been gone for over five days, consumed by the search for Elara."When he arrives, we'll speak in the study."Asher nodded."Kaida?" I asked."Still asleep," he replied.I nodded, retreating to my room to wash away the travel. Afterward, I went to the study, where I found my brothers upon Malachi's return."Brothers," I began, shaking my head, my eyes closing briefly. "Elara says it must be an eye for an eye, a life for a life, to break the curse."Malachi's jaw tightened. "Meaning?""Don't pretend, Kai. You know," I retorted, annoyance simmering.Malachi's mouth twisted in a humorless laugh. "She's not dying f

KAIDA"That reminds me." I clapped my hands as Richard brought the car to a halt.I recalled the conversation Caspian had promised to share during the picnic, a discussion we had neglected amidst all the merriment.All the men in the car turned to look at me. Kai and Richard glanced through the rearview mirror from the front seat, while Asher and Caspian, seated beside me, swiveled their heads in my direction."What about?" Caspian asked, curiosity piqued.I raised a pinky finger at him. "Your promise? Feedback from Elara, remember?"Caspian's expression shifted, and I suspected he had intentionally diverted my attention from that conversation, distracting me with all the fun we had shared at the picnic.Now, as I thought back to the picnic, my body still tingled with embarrassment over what had transpired in the water. Even though we were submerged, anyone could have guessed what was happening beneath the surface.I mentally chastised myself, wondering if anyone had witnessed that re

KAIDA "When will you be visiting again?" Meredith asked as she walked me down the stairs.Dusk was settling in when I announced it was time for me to leave.We had become so engrossed in our conversation that we'd lost track of time. Meredith often received several calls, given her social nature.By the time we had talked to our hearts' content, the day was nearly over."We shall see," I replied, descending the last step.Meredith pulled me into a side hug when we reached the ground floor, her cheek pressed against mine."I'm going to miss you," she whined.I snorted. "I doubt that. Not with all your acquaintances keeping you busy all day with calls."The car was parked across the street, Richard waiting to open the door for me.A couple of passersby eyed us as Meredith and I said our goodbyes.A few of them inclined their heads in our direction, whispering to each other. My skin prickled, sensing the judgment in their whispers.The whole town knew of my relationship with the Ragnar
