Escaping the Pack, Reclaiming Our Freedom のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Sarah's POVWhen I submitted my application to leave the pack to the administration center, the elder in charge of the registration thought that he had misread it."Sarah Holloway! You're leaving the Snowlight Pack?""Yes. I felt my mate calling out to me through the mind-link a few days ago," I said, repeating the excuse I'd prepared beforehand. "He told me that he's in the Neutral Zone, and I'm planning to take Nora there to reunite with him."This wasn't exactly the best excuse, but the administration center never pried into the pack warriors' private affairs.The elder was taken aback at first. Then, he smiled and said, "That's actually a good thing to hear. It really isn't easy to raise a pup on your own. We all thought that you were a single mother."I smiled along with him.Technically, I wasn't a single mother yet. However, I was going to be one very soon.He flipped the application form to the final page and pointed to the signature space."You're the Alpha's personal

Erina was stunned when she caught sight of me."Ms. Holloway?" she asked, glancing at the suitcase in my hand before looking at Nora behind me. There was a small smile on her face. "What are you doing here?"I was just about to reply when Larry stepped in and interrupted me."She's a central guard," he said so naturally that he almost sounded cold. "She got hurt and has been staying here for a few days to recover."I tightened my hold on the handle of my suitcase until my palm hurt.I'd heard the same words from him multiple times in the past. This wasn't the first time. However, every time he repeated them, it still felt like a fresh wound in my heart.I still hadn't managed to say a thing yet, but Nora had already stepped out from behind me. She was looking up at Larry. She then said in a soft voice, "Good evening, Mr. Alpha."Larry froze at once. He stared at Nora as if he couldn't believe his ears."What did you just call me?"I smirked slightly and found it ironic. Wasn't

The next morning, Larry sent Brock to handle the aftermath of the trade center attack as soon as he woke up."Use the money in my private vault," he said, leaning back in the hospital bed. His voice was still a little hoarse. "Replenish the meds in the healing center first, then issue emergency deposits to the pack members who were injured last night. And provide compensation to the damaged stalls as well."Brock nodded and left with Larry's card.However, less than half an hour later, he returned with a confused expression on his face."Alpha," he said, crouching by the bed, speaking in a low voice. "There's no more money on the card."Larry looked at him and frowned."What did you say?"Brock showed him his phone screen and spoke in an even lower tone, "I got someone to check the transaction records, and the card was literally emptied yesterday."Larry took the phone from him and scrolled down.There were payments made for jewelry, haute couture gowns, health supplements, im

News of Larry's decision to leave quickly reached Erina's ears.He had only just reached the airport when Erina stopped him right in front of the boarding gate.She wasn't wearing any loud jewelry today. She was wearing only a crisp and white trench coat as she stared at him with a calm expression. She was still as poised as ever."Sarah is your mistress. And that pup named Nora is your illegitimate pup, right?"Larry stopped and didn't deny it.Erina stared at him for a few seconds. She suddenly smiled and said, "So, you're abandoning the alliance with Eastwood Pack to pursue a powerless she-wolf as your Luna.""In terms of influence and riches, I won't deny that you're more suitable to be my Luna, but my heart tells me that I love Sarah instead. She would never abandon any pack member just because they were weak," he said.The wind blew from the end of the tarmac, ruffling Erina's coat. She remained silent for a while before speaking softly."Okay. I understand. Eastwood Pack

Larry didn't leave the Neutral Zone immediately. He went to Nora's new school the next day instead.The school was having an open day, and the playground was filled with the kids' and pups' excited laughter. Some were playing soccer, some were riding on the swings, and some were learning how to protect their heads and throats in case of danger.Larry stood outside the fence and spotted Nora at once. She was wearing a light-blue shirt, and her long hair was tied back in a high ponytail as she followed along with the self-defense moves.Sarah was standing not too far away from her. The security center had sent her along as a temporary self-defense instructor that day, and she was busy correcting a few of the pups' postures.The sunlight shone down brightly on Sarah and Nora.Larry realized that they weren't only barely scraping by after leaving the pack. Rather, they were getting by very well.Toward the end of the self-defense class, one of the wolves who was attending the open da
