Claimed By The Darkwood Brother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

GEMMAShe looked startled as I entered the room. "Gemma…" she trailed off, looking like a deer caught in headlamps.Was this why she wanted to go back to Elias's pack? Was she hiding a secret baby?"Answer me, Mom. What baby are you talking about?" I asked. My mother glanced at the queen and then back at me, then she stared at her hands."I'm sorry," she apologized. "I…"Tears began to gather in her eyes and I couldn't stay mad anymore. I rushed towards her and held her in my arms."Hey, it's okay. You can tell me the truth. I won't be mad." I cooed, patting her back.She sniffled, wiping the tears from her eyes. "I had a baby. It was for a man I met near Madam Margaret's territory. I loved my baby a lot but… I lost her to wicked people. I haven't seen her in months. I don't even know if she's still alive." She said to me.The Queen held a hand to her mouth. "Oh my goodness, that's terrible. Do you need me to help you?" She offered.My mother shook her head so quickly that she would h

GEMMAThe first thing I felt was the cold. It seeped through my clothes, making me shiver. I opened my eyes, but all I saw was darkness. It was so thick that it felt like a group of people were surrounding me.I tried to move, but I couldn't. My hands were bound tightly behind my back, and my ankles were chained, most likely to the floor. I felt a wave of panic as I began to shake and struggle against the things that bound me down. But it was no use.They were chains. They rattled in the dark as I moved, echoing against the cold cobblestone floors. If I knew better, I suspected I was in a dungeon.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I had to think. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was being dragged away. Nate's shouts echoed in my mind. As much as I hated him, I hoped that he wasn't dead.I was supposed to be the one to kill him. I couldn't let them win. I had to find a way out.In time, my eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. I saw the faint outline of stone walls.

NATEShe wasn't here. We were too late. I let out a groan of frustration, turning around to punch the wall. As my fist connected with the wall, I realized something.The torch had come on when I walked towards the dungeon cell. She had to have been here. Someone had to have been here to have set up that kind of magic.I glanced around, looking for any traces. George hurried down the staircase and looked around. My silence said it all."She's not here," he voiced it out."We're too late," I replied, my voice down. "They've moved. They know that this place has been compromised."We returned to the palace where George filled my mother in on what had happened. I immediately went to the dungeon and brought out the man that Gemma and Leonard had caught the last time they had been at the Obsidian Wolf's hideout.I entered his cell and grabbed him by the collar. "Where did they take her?" I growled.His eyes widened slightly in recognition. "If they have her, you're never getting her back. Th

GEMMA"You," I said with a low voice."Unlock her cell and bring her out," he instructed looking down at me. That was when I noticed that he hadn't come alone.Someone stepped forward and put the keys into the lock. He unlocked the door and two of them entered the cell."What are you doing?" I asked, fear coursing through my veins.They didn't answer me. Instead, they unlocked one of my hands from the metal cuffs and then bound it together with the other hand. They fred my hands from the wall and I fell to my knees.I had lost feeling in my hands. It had been hanging up there for hours, my wrists bleeding from it. They did the same to my ankles, taking off the metal cuffs and binding them to the ground. Instead, they replaced it with another that could let me walk around."Where are you taking me?" I asked the moment I realized.They ignored me and shoved me out of the cell, leading me blindly out of the dungeon.Even after leaving there, it was obvious that we were underground. There

GEMMAI exhaled and inhaled deeply trying to focus my energy on getting out. I wanted to channel the White Wolf's energy and see if I could break the chains bounding me to this cell.Nala was working on it but, it was taking time. I had to do it. Slowly, I felt the power flow through me. The hair on the back of my neck rose in response.A few moments later, I opened my eyes. With a grunt, I snapped the metal bounds on my hands and the ones on my ankles. I jumped to my feet and let out a cheer."I did it!" I said."Tch!" Nala made a sound, "you used my powers.""Because you were taking so long and I remembered George's book on the White Wolf. It's easier for me to channel your powers than for you to channel them through me." I replied."Show off," Nala complained.I smiled. It was fun when I was always reminded that even though my wolf had existed for many hundred years, she still acted like an overgrown teenager."How are you going to get out now?" She asked and I could hear the teasi
