My Mate Become My Hunter のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Chapter 111Cassian's POV “You know what the only thing bothering me is?” I say.“Hmm?”Milo is kneeling beside a box of tin cans, pulling them out and arranging them on a shelf. It’s kind of funny to me to see him making this place up like a proper home, but also, I’m really happy for him that he gets to do it. Of all of us, Milo is the only one who’s really never had any kind of normalcy in his life. He’s been on his own since he was a little kid. So I get it. Having a place he can call home is important to him.I sit down beside him, open another box, and start adding cans to his shelf.“Wilder didn’t want to attack,” I say. “Not at first. He didn’t want to attack the wolf pack.”“Because of the moon,” Milo says. “He was right, by the way. I was completely powerless during the new moon too.”“And you’re at your most powerful when the moon is full,” I say. “Isn’t that right?”Milo nods.“That’s why Wilder wanted to wait as long as we possibly could before going in,” he says. “The l

Chapter 113Cassian's POV And I swear, I’m so into the idea of being a father—the father to Lyra’s baby, even—that it doesn’t even occur to me to mention the obvious thing until the wine has already been poured and Milo’s gone looking for something for Lyra to drink.There’s tension in Wilder’s face, so I know he thought of the same thing I did. Probably right at the same moment, too.Babies don’t survive.It’s the reason alpha mates are so important. It’s the reason women Lyra’s age are so prized.It’s the reason all our people—shifters and Moon Casters alike—are in trouble.We don’t know why. We don’t know how to fix it. But we know that almost no babies have lived through childbirth since the Lunar Reversal. And there’s no reason to think that this one will be any different.If it was just that, it would be bad enough. Because I want to be a father. But there’s also the fact that a lot of women die in childbirth. It happened to my mother. It happened to Lyra’s mother. It’s common—

Chapter 115MILO'S POV “All right,” I call, bracing myself against the coming assault. “I’m ready.Do your worst.”My eyes are half-closed and I’m reaching out, doing what I can to perceive changes in the air around me, trying to make myself aware of what direction the attack is going to come from, and I feel the air move slightly to my left. I step quickly backward—A stick hurtles past in front of me, just at the level of my shins. If I hadn’t moved, it would have tripped me and sent me sprawling.“Is that the best you can do?” I yell.Another rush, this time moving toward me from the other side. It’s heavier, and I barely have time to leap out of the way of the incoming rock before it skids by me. It collided with a tree trunk with a heavy whack, and I know for a fact it would have broken a bone if it had hit me.I almost didn’t get out of the way of that one in time, so this time, when I’m aware of movement, I step back more quickly—Something cinches tight around my ankle, and I

Chapter 117WILDER'S POV “I don’t know if he really didn’t have any information or if he just didn’t want to tell us,” I say. “I don’t know if we could have gotten anything more out of him by spending a little more time on interrogation. CASSIAN killed him too quickly.”“Is this really how you want to spend our night together?” LYRA murmurs, kissing her way along the line of my hipbone. “You know I’ll be with MILO tomorrow, and CASSIAN the night after, and then it’s my night off, so we won’t be together again for four more nights after this one. Do you want to waste this time talking about LORD ENORIO and some Moon Drinker you found in the woods?”I know she’s right. We shouldn’t let this time go to waste. Even though it’s perfectly permissible for me to be with her on someone else’s day—it’s only the nights that are sacred—we usually have so much going on that I can’t count on getting any time with her. I don’t want to waste what little I have.So I force myself to stop thinking abo

Chapter 119MILO'S POV I open my eyes. Something’s not right.I heard something in my sleep. At least, I thought I did. That’s the kind of thing that usually wakes me up at night. A noise that shouldn’t be there. An indication that something’s wrong, even if I can’t tell what that something is.CASSIAN grumbles a little in his sleep, across the room.But that wasn’t it. CASSIAN grumbles in his sleep every night. I’ve gotten used to the sounds the others make in their sleep, and that wouldn’t wake me up.I roll to my feet, anxious. The Moon Drinkers are still looking for us. I know they were hoping to get their hands on LYRA, and probably me as well. They’ve definitely expressed interest in hybrids, and they’ve already specifically tried to capture her once.I creep to the front door of Giuseppe’s, stepping lightly so that the others won’t wake up. There’s always the possibility that I’m just being neurotic. I’ve felt pretty neurotic lately.The door opens at my touch, though, and tha
