The Alpha's Hidden Debts のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 4

Sera's Pov"Sera."I stopped halfway across the yard. Della. She had followed me out of the hall, her shawl pulled tight around her shoulders, her breath making small clouds in the cold air. She looked at the bag on my shoulder and then at my face and I watched her put it together in real time."Where are you going?" she said."For a walk.""With a bag.""Della.""Don't Della me." She stepped closer, dropping her voice. "Talk to me. Where are you actually going?"I looked at her. She was one of the few people in this pack who had ever been genuinely kind to me, without any angle or agenda That almost made it harder."I'm leaving," I said.Her face fell. "Tonight? Sera, you can't just walk out tonight, it's dark. The border is two miles out and you're human. At least wait until morning. Please.""I can't stay in that building tonight, Della.""Then stay at mine. Come on, just come inside. We'll talk and figure something out together.""There's nothing to figure out." I adjusted the bag

Sera's Pov "You're awake."I opened my eyes. The voice came from the corner of the room. A woman sat there, older, somewhere in her sixties, grey hair pulled back, the kind of face that had seen enough of everything to stop being surprised by most of it. She had a cup of something warm in both hands and she was watching me with calm unhurried eyes.I sat up slowly and looked around. Clean wood ceiling, simple furniture, A window letting in pale morning light. It smelled like pine and cold air. No pack smell, no territorial markers pressing against my skin the way they always did in Ironmoor. Not a cell. I had been in a cell once, I knew the difference immediately."Where am I?" I said."Northesk lodge. Guest room, second floor." She said it simply, no drama attached to it. "You've been out about six hours.""Six hours." I pressed my fingers to my temple. "Who brought me in?""Riven. Carried you himself, wouldn't let anyone else near you." She took a slow sip from her cup. "I'm Mara."
