Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

Ronan"Ronan?"Lyra's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up just as she stepped into the training arena, her brows knitting together in confusion."You asked to meet me?"A small smile found its way to my face as I walked toward her."I did. Good evening, Housekeeper. How have you been?"She rubbed a hand over her face before letting out a quiet sigh."I'm good." She paused briefly. "I just have a lot going on in my head.""Want to share?"A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "It's nothing I can't handle.""Very well."As I looked at her, I honestly couldn't help but think back to the interrogation with Zachary three days ago.Ever since then, I just couldn't look at Lyra the same way.The revelation that she was the Moonblood Queen's daughter echoed relentlessly in my mind, refusing to fade no matter how hard I tried to push it aside.I quietly cleared my throat, forcing myself to maintain my composure before she noticed anything amiss."I noticed you haven't been

Ronan"Lyra, no!"The last bit of strength I had left surged through my body.I forced myself upright and immediately tried to rush toward the foggy scene unfolding before me. But the moment I took a step, a violent wave of dizziness crashed over me.My vision spun. My knees buckled, and I stumbled heavily to the ground.For several seconds, I could barely breathe. The backlash was worse than anything I'd experienced before.But Lyra… The thought of her wolf being consumed snapped me back to reality.I couldn't stay down.Not when she was in danger.With gritted teeth, I forced my trembling hands against the ground and pushed myself back up. I knew that whatever damage I was suffering here in this mental space, my physical body in the real world was probably suffering an even greater backlash.I knew I could be risking my life, but at that moment, I didn't care. Even if it killed me… I could never let Lyra get hurt.One unsteady step followed another as I forced myself deeper into the

Maya"How much do you want for this sapphire necklace?"The jewelry store owner turned the necklace over in his hands, examining the gemstones carefully beneath the bright lights before looking back at me."The least I'd sell it for is two hundred and fifty thousand."His brows immediately furrowed."Miss, that's too high. Indeed, this is an original sapphire necklace, but you should understand how this business works. Moreover, I don't have that much cash with me," the owner continued thoughtfully. "Perhaps I could transfer—""No."The answer came so quickly that he blinked."I don't want a transfer," I clarified, keeping my voice low. "Cash only."A bank transfer was the last thing I needed.I was keeping an extremely low profile because of Alaric. The last thing I needed was a bank transfer creating some sort of trail that could eventually lead back to me.The owner studied me for a moment, perhaps wondering why someone selling expensive jewelry would insist so strongly on cash.I

MayaThere was no time to figure it out.A relieved breath escaped my lips. At least the confrontation hadn't escalated.That was the important thing.I quickly put my sunglasses back on as I noticed a few people standing farther down the street, staring curiously toward the alley.Damn it!Even that brief confrontation had attracted attention. Hopefully, no one had gotten a good look at me.Pulling my shawl tighter around my body, I turned around… Time to leave.Then something tugged at my leg. My steps stopped. Oh, right… The girl.She was still there. Her arms remained wrapped tightly around my leg."You can let go now," I said quietly. "They're gone."Instead of releasing me, she flinched. Her entire body jerked at the sound of my voice.Then she shook her head frantically."They'll come back."Her voice was barely audible."What?""They'll wait." She swallowed hard."They'll wait until you leave, and then they'll come back for me and take me away."I let out a tired breath. "They

LyraThe first thing I noticed when I slowly opened my eyes was the light.The white, blinding lights above me made my eyes sting almost immediately, forcing them shut again.Where was I?My brows furrowed as I tried to remember what had happened.Slowly, my eyelids lifted again. This time, I blinked several times, allowing my eyes to adjust to the brightness while a low groan escaped my lips.My body felt strangely heavy. Every muscle seemed sore, almost as if I'd spent hours doing something physically exhausting.The faint scent of medicine filled my nose. Then it hit me.I had been here before… The pack house infirmary.My gaze wandered around the familiar room, taking in the white walls, the medical equipment, and the bed beneath me.But why was I here?What had happened?I tried to sit up, but the moment I moved, a dull ache spread through my body, and I let out a small w
