The Cursed Alpha's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Evie.We spent the night in our bedroom. Tommy and I took the bed while Rodney slept on the couch. I wanted to create as much distance as possible between me and him. There were no curse related incidents that night but the room was pretty cold. Keeping Tommy in my arms preventing him from freezing.Despite the sleeping arrangements, Rodney woke up smiling like a fool. After taking a shower, I stood in front of the mirror to brush my hair and ignored Rodney’s stare from across the room. He was watching me, knowing well that I could feel it, waiting for a reaction. Unfortunately for him, I was not about to show any.But when it became too much, I decided to tell him off. “Stop staring at me.”“I’m admiring my beautiful wife. Is that so wrong?”I rolled my eyes. “I’m not your wife, Rodney.”“You look so beautiful this morning. I don’t remember mornings like this. I must have been a very bad husband but I’m ready to make amends. I’ll be different this time.”“I’m not looking for a husb

Evie.“No.”The word left my mouth as soon as I heard the suggestion.Across from me, the healers remained completely calm despite the fact that they had just suggested something extremely ridiculous.“The ritual springs would be very helpful,” Healer Joshua said.I shook my head. “There’s no way I’m doing that.”“The minerals inside the water react well with Fireheart energy.” Selene said, looking up from a book she was reading.“i don’t care what it does or doesn’t. There’s no way in hell I’m doing that.”“The Alpha’s curse is getting-”“Give me another idea.”Beside me, Rodney was trying hard to keep himself from smiling and the three healers clearly enjoyed taking away my peace.Outside, the evening rain was falling hard. Inside the pack house, servants were preparing for the final festival celebrations.“The springs are private,” Reina, the older female healer added. “No one else will be present. Not even us.”As if that would help.Rodney was leaning against the wall with his a

Evie.Everything changed after the awakening. The pack started looking at me differently. When I finally stepped out of the healing wing the next morning, everyone lowered their heads respectfully as I passed. Even warriors moved out of my path and servants cowered whenever I looked their way. I had transformed overnight into someone important and that made me slightly uncomfortable.Deep down, I still felt like the same girl who used to cry herself to sleep in the pack house while everyone insulted her.I stood inside the boutique staring blankly at fabric rolls, trying hard not to think about the markings still visible under my skin.Selene entered carrying breakfast trays. The moment our eyes met, her eyes widened dramatically.“There she is.”I frowned. “Who?”“The legendary queen currently scaring everyone in Crescent Pack.”I groaned. “Please stop. I’m already tired of this whole thing.”“You almost burned down the entire healing chamber.”“It was an accident,” I said, remember

Evie.Alpha Lucien Draven stayed at Crescent Pack for three days. They were the longest and most stressful days.Rodney hated him and Lucien seemed to enjoy the animosity. I wouldn’t have minded their fighting if they didn’t put me in the middle of it.On the second night of his arrival, we organized a dinner to honor him. Pack elders filled one side of the hall discussing territory politics while warriors talked and laughed loudly at the back.We sat at the main table. Lucien sat directly across from me while Rodney was at the head of the table. He looked quite lonely over there.“You sew these yourself?” he asked while examining the sleeve of my dark green dress with open admiration.“Yes.” I said with a light nod.“Remarkable craftsmanship.” he commented.“Thank you.”“You prefer elegant structures to decorative excess. I like that.”Huh? Ever since I started my business, nobody had ever complimented my work like that. Usually people only said things like pretty or beautiful. But

Evie.Lucien and I glanced at each other then broke into laughter. “He’s probably watching us,” he told me. I nodded.We continued talking as if nothing had happened. After a few minutes, the frost melted out. Either Rodney had left the area or he managed to calm himself down.Lucien left that evening and I went to spend the night at the boutique since I had very many orders to finish. I had to make up for the time I’d spent walking around with Lucien.Tommy stayed with Selene at the pack house. I knew she would be able to keep him safe. But the next day, Damien called me, asking me to go to the pack house urgently. Thinking something had gone wrong, I abandoned my work and went there immediately.When i got there, I was immediately directed to the healing wing.The healers in the room were holding ancient scrolls while Elder Mara stood near the center table looking deeply troubled.Rodney stood near the window. He was wearing black training clothes, and his arms crossed tightly ove
