Never Let You Go의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 9

Right before entering the forest, I yanked hard on the reins of my horse and stopped it in place. Then, without hesitation, I took off Winnie Sullivan’s moon-white cloak.Not long after I hid the cloak and stepped away from my mount, hurried footsteps sounded behind me. Xavier Long appeared beside me almost instantly, but the moment he realized it was me, he abruptly took a step back.“Agnes? Why are you here?”I knew exactly who he was looking for, so I met his gaze calmly and said, “That’s right. I’m the only one here, but if you head to the Moon Rite Forest now, you might find Winnie.”Xavier froze for a second, suspicion flashing through his eyes. Whenever I saw him in the past, I would shamelessly cling to him. This was the first time I had ever pushed him toward another she-wolf.I was in love with Xavier. Everyone in the pack knew it. For years, I followed him everywhere like his shadow. He never once drove me away. Instead, Xavier allowed me to stay by his side. That was

The next morning, warriors from the Frostmoon Pack arrived at the Sullivan family estate.The leading attendant bowed slightly to my mother.“The Alpha heir’s old injury flared up again last night. The silver-thorn toxin has spread into his blood and bones. He needs to recover in isolation. Miss Winnie was frightened during the Moon Hunt. Lord Xavier is worried she may suffer nightmares, so he has personally seen to it for her to recover at Moonshadow Estate.”The attendant paused briefly, then added, “Lord Xavier also mentioned that if Miss Agnes wants, she may come as well.”The hall fell silent for a moment, and Mom’s face paled slightly. Everyone in the pack knew Moonshadow Estate was Xavier’s private territory. No outsiders were ever allowed to enter, yet he had sent men to escort Winnie there. That kind of favoritism was impossible to hide.Strangely, I didn’t feel the same jealousy I once would have. All I felt was exhaustion.Mom stepped forward, placing herself in front

In the days that followed, Xavier became increasingly volatile. Even the servants around him could feel the shift in his temper.When they moved through the hall, he would snap at them without warning. “If you have nothing to do, go back to your rooms. Do you need to wander in front of me all the time? Are you trying to make me more irritated?”At mealtimes, even the food on the table became a source of frustration.“Can’t you change the menu? Why is it always grilled pork chops?”The servant kept their head lowered, feeling deeply aggrieved, and muttered under their breath, “We’ve only had it once this week…”Even when noble daughters came to visit the estate, just being led into the hall was enough to put him in a foul mood. Now, the moment he caught the scent of any unfamiliar Omega, an inexplicable irritation would overcome him.He didn’t understand why. All he knew was that he had long grown used to the warm, sweet scent of jasmine that lingered around me, though he had neve

The next morning, Xavier quickly treated his injuries. Without delay, he took the prepared proposal and rushed straight to the Sullivan estate.Winnie was bored out of her mind, but when she heard that Xavier had arrived, her eyes immediately lit up.“He must be here to form a mate bond with me.” She smoothed her hair, unable to hide her pride. “I told you he was going to come around and win me back.”She hurried out to meet him, wearing a bright smile.“Xavier, your injuries haven’t healed yet. Why did you come personally?”However, Xavier didn’t even spare her a glance. He walked straight into the main hall.Winnie followed behind him, feeling secretly pleased with herself. She was already planning how she should appear properly reserved in front of Mother later.Mother stepped out from inside the hall. Her expression was cold as she looked at Xavier.She asked plainly, “What brings you here, Lord Xavier?”Xavier took out the proposal contract from his chest and handed it ov

That day, the Northern frontier was struck by a once-in-a-century blizzard, with winds that cut like knives. Biting wind whipped snowflakes against him, covering his hair and shoulders in thick layers of frost. The once-mighty Wolf King, who had always stood above all others, now looked like a lost lone wolf—worn down and stripped of all his former sharpness.When the servants brought the news to me, I felt nothing. I merely found it absurd. It had only been a few months separated by a few borders. The man who once looked at me with undisguised disgust, who found even my presence repulsive, and who trampled my sincere feelings underfoot without a second thought, had now humbled himself completely, kneeling for three days and three nights in this biting cold, just to see me.I sent word outside the city walls, my tone cold and firm. “I have formed a mate bond with Kane. I don’t want to see him. From this day on, he and I are over.”However, Xavier refused to leave. He stayed at the g
