Rebirth and Revenge:Lycan King’s Feisty Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

[Eileen's POV]I didn't hear her hit the ground. The wind took whatever sound there might have been, and then there was nothing where she’d been standing a second ago."Eileen." Alaric's arm locked around my waist and pulled me back from the edge before my knees understood they should be doing that themselves. "Don't look down. Look at me.""I had her wrist," I said. "I had it, and I let go, and I don't even remember deciding to.""You didn't let go. She pulled free. There's a difference, and you need to let yourself believe it.""Does it matter, in the end?""It matters to me." He turned my face up to his, thumb brushing along my jaw, careful as he checked my face. "You tried to save a woman who tried to kill you an hour ago. That's not a thing to carry guilt over."Kade came up beside us, breathing hard from the climb, and looked once over the edge before deciding against a second look. "Somebody should go down and...""In the morning," Alaric said. "Nobody's climbing that in the da

[Eileen's POV]I woke up screaming on the third night, and it took Alaric almost a full minute to convince me the sword wasn't real."Eileen. Eileen, look at me. Nobody's here. You're safe, you're in bed, it's over.""I felt it go into him." My hands were still shaking, fisted in the blanket like I could hold myself together with fabric alone. "Not Lucian. Selena. I had her wrist and I felt her pull away, and in the dream it was my hand that let her fall, not hers that pulled free.""That's not what happened.""I know that. I know it when I'm awake." I pressed the heels of my hands against my eyes until colors bloomed behind them. "It doesn't seem to matter what I know once I'm asleep."He didn't tell me it would pass. He'd learned that much about me over the last three days, that promises about the future did nothing for the version of me sitting in the wreckage of the present. He just pulled me against his chest instead and let me listen to his heartbeat until mine slowed down to ma

[Alaric's POV]"My lord." Roth reached us before I'd finished helping Kade unload the saddlebags, and whatever was in his hands looked important enough that he hadn't bothered smoothing his expression on the walk over. "Forgive the timing. This couldn't wait for morning.""Nothing ever can, with you, not even on a night like this one." I kept half my attention on Eileen, watching her lean into Lumi's shoulder, laughing at something for the first genuine time since we'd ridden home. "What is it.""West Pack territory. There's no clear heir. Lucian's council's already splitting into three factions arguing over who takes the seat, and two of them have started arming their own men against each other inside the walls.""So it fractures into exactly the kind of chaos that put a knife in my brother's back three years ago, if we let it.""That's my read as well, my lord.""How bad.""Bad enough that our scouts counted skirmishes in two separate districts before we'd even finished burying our

[Eileen's POV]"Wren!" Alaric was already lifting me off the wall before I’d finished getting the words out, one arm under my knees. He moved faster than I’d ever seen him move. "Wren, now!""I can walk.""You're not walking. Not for this."Another contraction rolled through me, sharper than the last, and my protest turned into a groan."That's twice in four minutes," I managed, breathless. "Is that fast? That feels unbelievably fast.""I don't know. I've never done this before either.""Comforting.""I'm working with what I have."Wren met us at the healer’s wing door, already rolling her sleeves up. One look at my face and she pointed us toward the birthing room. Behind us I heard Lumi's voice calling something after us, and Kade's steadier one telling her to let the healers work, that they'd hear news the moment there was any to hear."How far apart," she asked, hands already moving over my stomach."Four minutes. Maybe less now.""That's fast for a first labor. Not dangerously fas

[Eileen's POV]“You’re allowed to be nervous,” Wren said, adjusting Aurora’s blanket before the doors opened." Every mother gets nervous before something like this.”"I don't remember being this nervous facing Lucian.""Lucian wasn’t asking you to hold your newborn in front of the entire court. And yes, your hands might shake. That’s fine." Wren smoothed a strand of hair back from my face.”They might shake. That’s fine.”"What if I say something wrong? The whole ceremony, the words, I've only heard them described once, and half of that description came from Kade, who forgets half of everything he's told.""Then you'll say something wrong, and the North Pack will still love her exactly as much as they would have otherwise. Nobody's judging you on ceremony, Eileen. They're here to see her." Wren straightened Aurora's tiny blanket one last time, unnecessary but soothing all the same. “You’ve faced worse than this. And this time, you’re not alone.”Alaric found my free hand and laced his
