One Mate Was Never Enough のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

POV: Chloe Elixir settled down warmly, and watchful in the back of my mind.“Let her play her games,” I thought In my head.“Let her think she's winning.”Through the bond, I felt Tristan's attention turn toward me, brief and curious. I guess something in my emotional current had caught his notice, too calm perhaps, or too still.I let him feel the surface of it, acting composed, pretending to be fine, pretending that everything is under control.I turned the page of my book even when I know that I hadn't read a single word of it.Yes I was learning to be patient in ways I hadn't been before, and patience, it turned out, had teeth and claws.Ella just didn't know that yet.*****It had been the perfect afternoon... until it wasn't.It had been two days since Ella fell down the stairs. I had done everything I could to avoid her.Until today.That's the thing about happiness. It arrives without warning, and it leaves just as quietly. The time between those two moments is

POV: Chloe He turned to make sure I had a good view, smirking s she noticed the curious look on my face. I felt like warning the guys, I want to tell them to be careful and watch out for her trick. But they will only think I’m jealous of the attention she’s getting. So I just stayed in the room and pretended not to notice. I watched the maids set up the table in her room from my position on Tristan's bed.I had a clear view of the white cloth, the candles someone had found from somewhere, the careful arrangement of three place settings that told me exactly what she was planning before the food even arrived.It was Dinner, in her room, with the brothers. I sat on Tristan's bed and watched it happen.Through the bond, I could feel them both. I feel the discomfort in their hearts, the reluctance that neither of them was hiding from themselves, just from her. They didn't want to be in that room. They wanted to be in this one. I could feel it as clearly as I could feel my own he

POV: Chloe Ethan's reaction was sharper...His suspicion didn't disappear so much, it simply redirect itself, away from Ella's manufactured crises and toward the bedroom where his mate was touching herself with both of them too far away to do anything about it.My middle finger found my clit and pressed. The gasp that came out of me was louder than I'd planned. I didn't care though...Let her hear it and let her try to compete with the sound of a woman who knew exactly what she wanted and wasn't afraid to reach for it."Ella's talking again," Elixir murmured. "Something about her ankle. She's trying to pull Tristan back.""And?""He's not listening."I circled my clit slowly, deliberately, the way I liked it when I had time to myself. The way Tristan did it when he was being patient and Ethan did it when he was trying to prove a point. The pressure is building, pleasure spreading outward from that single point of contact like ripples in water. My other hand pushed my sh

POV: Chloe The words hung in the air like smoke from a gunshot. The atmosphere in the room changed, I felt their mixed feelings, felt their withdrawal and disgust at the Idea of me being linked to rogues.Tristan pulled out of me so slowly I felt every inch of the withdrawal, my body protesting the sudden emptiness even as my mind reeled. His face had gone stone-still, the way it did when his wolf was warring with his reason. I watched him process her words, replaying the words in his head...Rogue mark...Hiding since birth...Bloodline isn't pure...I saw the exact moment suspicion planted itself in his expression. This time, the suspicion is not directed at Ella. It was directed to meSuspicion of me.. "Chloe." His voice was careful now. Measured. "What is she talking about?"My thighs were still slick with both of them. My chest still heaved with the aftershocks of pleasure. And he was asking me questions like I was a stranger who'd wandered into his bed."Nothing.

POV: Chloe Ethan went down to check on his brother while I went back to my room and waited for them. I wanted to go down there, I desperately wanted to find out what he had found. But Ethan said it was a bad idea, so I just had to wait for the news upstairs.As I went upstairs, I couldn’t stop wondering what had been found. Would it be good news or bad news?Am I truly the last heir of the Shadowfang pack?I kept asking myself all this as I went back upstairs, but as soon as I got into the room, I felt a strange aura, as if someone had been here before me. Then I saw it...A burner on the bed. The same type I had received years ago. Someone had left this burner in my apartment years back when I was still dating only Tristan. Back then she had sent me messages on this burner, threatening me to leave Tristan because I do not fit to be his woman. Today, she brought out the burner from where I’d hidden it and kept it on the bed for me to see it and remember her instructions from
