Silver Queen of Lunar Ridge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Chapter 62The air inside the Principal’s private office was cold, quiet, and full of heavy tension. Outside the high tower, dark winter rain poured down from the black sky, tapping against the large glass windows.Alistair Vance stood behind his grand mahogany desk. He had taken off his charcoal suit jacket, wearing only a clean white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His broad chest rose and fell in slow, heavy breaths. His golden-amber eyes were dark, burning with a dangerous mix of deep disappointment, fierce protection, and raw anger.I sat nearby in a comfortable leather chair, wrapped inside Alistair’s dark velvet Alpha cloak. I kept my back straight and my small hands resting in my lap. Deep inside my chest, my veins felt a tiny, burning heat, but my face remained smooth and calm. I kept my eyes locked on the heavy oak door.The heavy door opened with a quiet CLICK.Gideon Vance walked in first, his massive body full of quiet discipline. Right behind him came Cass

Chapter 64The morning air outside Lunar Ridge Academy was bitterly cold. Dark clouds hung low over the icy mountain peaks, and freezing wind howled through the open stone courtyards.Inside the main dining hall, where hundreds of noble students gathered for breakfast, a sudden, loud murmur broke out.Paper fliers were scattered across every single wooden table. They littered the long buffet lines, fluttered near the grand fireplace, and lay pinned to the heavy wooden notice boards near the entrance doors.Students gasped, pointing their fingers, laughing cruelly, and whispering in dark, mocking tones."Look at this!" a noble girl shrieked with fake shock, holding up one of the printed pages. "Is this the Principal's protected guest? Is this the innocent maid everyone is talking about?""I knew she was a shameless girl!" a high-ranking male student barked, tossing a flier onto his breakfast plate. "Look at these photos! She is completely exposed with random men in dirty hotel rooms!"

Chapter 66The subterranean levels beneath the executive tower were cold, dark, and carved from solid gray stone. Water dripped slowly from the low ceiling, echoing through the damp air.Inside the deepest detention cell sat Cassian Vance.His expensive uniform was filthy, his dark hair was tangled, and his golden eyes were hollow and dead. Heavy silver anti-magic chains bound his wrists and ankles, locking his raw wolf power deep inside his chest. He sat on the cold stone floor, his back resting against the damp wall, staring blindly into the darkness. His chest hurt with a constant, sharp pain, the spiritual poison of the broken mate bond eating away at his heart.Suddenly, the heavy metal door at the end of the dark corridor let out a quiet BEEP.The red security lights overhead flickered once, twice, and then turned a soft, silent green.Cassian did not move. He assumed it was Gideon coming to check on him again, or Alistair coming to look down at his broken son.Slowly, soft foot

Chapter 68The afternoon sky turned dark and stormy as freezing rain began to pour over the academy grounds. Strong winter winds rattled the heavy pine trees near the edge of the campus woods, blowing cold drops against the dark glass windows of the high towers.Chloe and I walked side-by-side along the quiet stone path leading toward the outer greenhouse. Chloe carried a thick leather binder filled with botany notes, holding her small yellow umbrella over both of our heads to keep us dry."I still can't believe how you crushed Vivienne at the board hearing yesterday," Chloe said with a bright, happy laugh, her bronze curls bouncing under her hood. "She looked like she was going to throw up in front of everyone!"I smiled gently, my dark velvet cloak pulled tightly around my shoulders to keep out the bitter cold rain. "She made a mistake, Chloe. She thought she could use cheap lies to defeat me."As we turned the sharp corner near the edge of the dense treeline, the air suddenly grew

Chapter 70The medical tower was filled with bright white lights and the sharp smell of antiseptic. I stood outside the heavy glass doors of the intensive recovery room, watching through the window as three high-ranking healers worked quickly to clean the dark venom from Chloe's shoulder.Alistair Vance stood right beside me. He had rushed down from the executive penthouse the moment Gideon called. He wore his dark suit, his broad shoulders tense, and his golden-amber eyes burning with protective fury.Alistair reached out, wrapping his large, warm hand around my cold fingers, pulling me gently against his side."She will live, Eva," Alistair murmured softly, his deep baritone voice steady and reassuring. "Our chief healer is neutralizing the rogue magic. She was brave today.""She almost died for me, Alistair," I whispered, my voice tight with lingering shock. "Those mercenaries didn't care who they killed. They were looking for me."Alistair’s grip on my hand tightened. "Gideon is i
