Mated to My Best Friend's Alpha Daddy의 모든 챕터: 챕터 101 - 챕터 110

~AMARIS Several days later, the corridors of the Iron-Howl pack house were suffocatingly quiet by the time I finally made my way back to my own room. The heavy stone walls seemed to lean inward, trapping the lingering heat of the day and the heavy, oppressive scent of the elite wolves who ruled this territory. Every step I took felt like a march toward an execution. My legs were heavy, the dull ache from Alpha Varg’s explosive claim still radiating through my muscles, a constant, throbbing reminder of the bond I was desperately trying to survive. When I reached my door, I wrapped my trembling fingers around the cold brass handle and pushed it open. I froze on the threshold immediately. The room was pitch black. A cold spike of dread pierced straight through my chest. I barely ever left my room dark. I hated the dark. I already had too many shadows clawing at the edges of my mind, too many dark secrets making my entire world blacker by the day. Leaving a room in darkness felt like

~AMARISEvery single second of the night was a slow, agonizing crawl. I lay there thinking about my life, analyzing every broken piece of it until my chest began to ache with a hollow, physical pressure. It was a complete, unending nightmare. I was a tragic survivor who had watched her parents burn to ash, a girl running out of time because of a terminal illness I had to keep hidden, and now... I was the ultimate forbidden fruit. Mated to my best friend's ruthless father, Alpha Varg, while being hunted and terrorized by his vengeful, narcissistic son.I must have drifted off eventually, my brain simply shutting down from sheer emotional exhaustion. But I didn't realize I had even fallen asleep until a sudden, aggressive movement shattered my fragile peace.Swoosh.A brutal wave of golden Saturday morning sunlight poured directly onto my face, forcing me to gasp as my eyes flew open, stinging against the sudden, blinding glare."Come on, Amaris! Wake up!" Ember’s voice boomed through t

~AMARISThe world stopped spinning. In fact, it stopped moving entirely.The clatter of the silver utensils, the soft crackle of the fireplace in the corner of the grand dining hall, the distant rustle of the morning wind against the heavy glass windows...all of it vanished, sucked into a vacuum of absolute, suffocating silence. The words Silver Decay hung in the air like a cloud of toxic gas, paralyzing the room, suffocating the very oxygen right out of my lungs.My eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at the space just above Gray’s shoulder, frozen in a mask of pure, unadulterated horror.No. No, no, no.For a terrifying, desperate moment, my mind completely fractured, rejecting the reality crashing down on my head. I hoped, with every single shred of sanity left in my soul, that it was a lie. I hoped that my ears were playing tricks on me, that the chronic illness had finally reached my brain and made me hallucinate the entire thing.Gray did not just do this to me.He couldn’t hav

~AMARIS"You know what, Dad?" Gray purred, his voice smooth, filling the quiet room like a death warrant. He tilted his head, his smirk widening into something deeply sinister as he gestured toward the open doorway where Ember had just fled. "I think this is the best decision right now. A nurse will not just get her to be fine again temporarily... but will also diagnose and confirm every single word I said in the dining room.”A single thread of my control snapped. It didn’t break with a dramatic crash, it went entirely silent, the vacuum of my sanity swallowed whole by the roaring, primitive beast caged within my chest.I didn’t see my son standing before me anymore. I didn't see the bloodline that connected our veins, or the ten years of exile he had just crawled back from. I only saw a parasite. A venomous, preying creature who had looked upon my dying fated mate with a smirk, like her failing lungs was nothing to be bothered about.Before Gray could even draw his hands out of his

~AMARISA profound, weightless silence was the first thing that greeted me. There was no sharp, splintering agony tearing through my lung lines. There was no suffocating pressure forcing me to gasp for a single grain of oxygen, and the bitter, metallic taste of copper had entirely vanished from my tongue.For one beautiful, fleeting second, a wave of pure relief washed over my fractured soul.I’m dead, I thought, a quiet, peaceful serenity settling deep into my bones. I actually died. I figured my weak, decaying body had finally surrendered on the cold stone floor of the dining hall, that the ticking clock of the Silver Decay had run out of seconds right there on the Alpha’s white tablecloth. I hoped with everything I had left that I had crossed over into the shadows where the fire couldn't touch me, where the monsters couldn't hunt me, and where the dark, suffocating secrets could no longer reach.Because the alternative was too terrifying to contemplate. If I was alive, how would I
