Dear Mate, I'm Your Greatest Nightmare のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Natalia's POVBy the time evening settled over the border camp, the sky had turned into beautiful shades of orange and purple.The cool breeze carried the scent of the forest through the camp as warriors finished changing shifts and healers packed away the herbs they no longer needed. The atmosphere was far calmer than it had been earlier in the day.I stood beside Dominic near the entrance of the camp while waiting for the vehicles from the estate because we were returning back to the estate.A few minutes later, the familiar sound of engines echoed through the quiet surroundings.Two black SUVs slowly drove through the entrance of the camp before coming to a smooth stop a few feet away from us.The driver's door of the first SUV opened, and a young man stepped out.He could not have been older than twenty four. His bright blue eyes stood out against his lightly tanned skin, and a scattering of freckles rested across the bridge of his nose. Dressed neatly in the estate driver's unifo

Natalia's POVDominic did not put me down until the moment we entered his room. He gently closed the door behind us with his foot before finally setting me down on the floor.I looked up at him, unable to stop the smile tugging at my lips."You carried me all the way here, after embarrassing me downstairs."He shrugged lightly. "I told you I would."His eyes held a teasing glint."By the way, you looked beautiful while blushing."I rolled my eyes even though my cheeks warmed again."I know you enjoy teasing me too much.""I do."His answer came without hesitation, making me laugh.For the first time in what felt like forever, the heavy burden hanging over my heart began to fade.There were no rogues, no frightening news waiting around the corner.It was only Dominic and me.The room felt peaceful.A warm fire crackled softly inside the fireplace, chasing away the evening chill. The king sized bed stood neatly made beside the large windows, and a few candles had already been lit around

Dominic's POVThe holding cells stood behind the rows of tents at the border camp, hidden away from the rest of the warriors. The thick scent of damp earth, rusted iron, and old blood lingered in the air long before Marcus and I reached them.The guards stationed outside the cells immediately stiffened when they sensed my Alpha presence. Every one of them lowered his head in respect."Alpha."I acknowledged them with a single nod."Open the gate and bring Shane out.""Yes, Alpha."One of the guards hurried to unlock the heavy iron gate while another disappeared into the darkness of the narrow corridor.The sound of dragging chains echoed through the cell before Shane finally emerged.The foul smell reached me before I got a proper look at him. He reeked of rotten sweat, dried blood, and weeks of confinement. Even Marcus wrinkled his nose in disgust.I studied him in silence.He had lost an alarming amount of weight. His once healthy frame had become lean and hollow. His cheeks were sun

Third POVThe towering stone walls of Crystal Moon Pack came into view just as the evening sun disappeared behind the distant mountains. The guards stationed outside the massive iron gates immediately recognized the approaching figure."It is Shane."One of them hurried to open the gates while another rushed inside to report his arrival.Shane walked through the entrance with steady steps despite the exhaustion weighing heavily on his body. The weeks he had spent imprisoned inside Moonshine Pack had left him thinner than before. Faint bruises still marked parts of his arms beneath his dark shirt, and his face had lost much of its healthy color.Even so, he carried himself confidently. He knew that weakness invited suspicion.The large courtyard was alive with activity as warriors trained with swords while others sharpened silver weapons beneath wooden shelters. Smoke drifted from several blacksmith workshops where fresh weapons were being forged for the coming battle.None of the warr

Natalia's POVThe dream stayed with me long after I woke up. Even as the morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of my room inside Dominic's estate, I could still picture the blood red moon hanging over the endless silver field. The image refused to leave my mind, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself it had only been a dream.It had felt too real.The Moon Goddess had spoken directly to me. She had warned me that someone carrying darkness had already entered Moonshine Pack.Hazel had remained unusually quiet since then. Usually she would tease me whenever I became lost in thought, but today she only paced silently inside me as though she was thinking about the same warning.After getting dressed in a simple sky blue gown that reached my ankles, I walked towards the main mansion, where Shantel had already been waiting with the prepared breakfast.She smiled the moment she saw me."My Lady. Good morning.""Good morning, Shantel."She pulled out one of the dining chair fo
