I Sacrificed My Wolf To Escape HIM のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

In haste of partying with Claus, I overestimated my wolf. It had been devastated by the severity of the mate bond and gave up just after a few strides. I was lying helpless, unable to stand on my own.To my absolute surprise, the heavy oak doors slammed open behind me, and the thud of heavy, commanding boots echoed against the stone."Why are you so eager to leave?” Claus held my hands. Before I could resist his help, he had pulled me up. “Our bond is just broken. Your wolf needs rest, and you had her run in winter frost.”He pointed his finger at the pack house as he began, “You can live here for a few more days and leave only when your wolf’s condition is stabilized. Don't force yourself too much.” "This house is made for the Alpha and his Luna, Alpha," I said, my voice eerily calm. "I am no longer your Luna, so I won't stay here."Claus froze. For a few seconds, the silver in his eyes flashed dangerously—a sign that his inner wolf was snarling at the rejection. But soon, the tensio

I coughed a mouthful of blood. My wolf roared for the last time before we collapsed in front of Claus. He frowned and rushed to my side. “Elise, I’m sorry. It's my fault. I didn't mean that…” he whispered while picking me up in his arms. “Once you get better, I’ll never hurt you again. Just hold on this time, okay?”He took me to the pack's infirmary, stood by my bed the whole night, fed me nutritious soup in the morning, and took care of me for a whole week while I was admitted.I thought it was because he was actually scared of losing me and felt guilty for his actions. For the first time in a while, I felt relieved. We were like before. Our daughters were happy spending time with both of their parents together.The day I got discharged, I cooked Claus’s favourite dishes and headed towards his office to surprise him. But before I could push open his office’s door, a familiar scent filled my nostrils with anger and disdain. It was Erica’s scent.I creaked open the door to see what

He fell to the floor of his master bedroom, clawing at his chest, his wolf screaming a deafening, mournful howl inside his mind.“She’s gone! You idiot, you killed her! She’s dead!”"Shut up!" Claus roared aloud, his voice shaking the heavy oak walls of the packhouse. "She’s not dead. Elise is too stubborn to die."But the chilling emptiness in his chest told a different story.Claus didn't wait for dawn. Brushing past a confused and sleep-deprived Erica, he shifted into his massive midnight-black wolf and tore into the woods. He ran toward Elise’s private infirmary, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird.When he kicked the door open, the sight that greeted him sent a spike of cold dread down his spine. The infirmary was stripped bare. The medical equipment was unplugged, and Elder Emily’s bed was neatly made, devoid of life. On the counter sat a small piece of parchment.The payment for the white moon flower has been settled. I owe you nothing."No, no, no..." Cla

Claus remained kneeling by the bedside for what felt like an eternity, his forehead pressed against the cold edge of the mattress. The frantic, weeping Alpha who had begged a dead woman for forgiveness was gone. In his place, a profound, glacial numbness settled over his soul. His wolf, shattered by grief, had completely retracted, leaving behind only the cold, calculating mind of a man who had lost everything—and therefore had absolutely nothing left to fear.Slowly, Claus stood up. He didn't look at the lifeless body on the bed. He couldn't. Instead, he turned his hollow, bloodshot eyes toward his three daughters.The girls shifted uncomfortably, finally sensing the shift in the room's atmosphere. "Daddy?" the eldest whispered, a flicker of genuine fear finally piercing through her mask of indifference. "You're scaring us.""Good," Claus said, his voice a flat, emotionless rasp. "You should be."***He didn't take them back to the packhouse. He led them down into the subterranean l

We turned to see Claus. The fearsome Alpha was gone. In his place stood a broken man, clothes tattered, his eyes bloodshot and heavily sunken. He clutched a crumpled, stained photograph of me to his chest, his knuckles white. The pack elders had stripped him of his title, and madness had clearly taken the rest of him.But as his gaze drifted from Mia to me, his entire body froze. The photograph slipped from his trembling fingers, fluttering to the dirty floor."L-Luna?" Claus whispered, his voice cracking. He rubbed his eyes violently, as if expecting the hallucination to vanish. "Elise? No... you're dead. I saw your heart stop. I felt the bond snap...""The bond didn't snap, Claus," I said, my voice dropping to a deadly, freezing calm as I stood up, shielding the three girls behind me. "I chose to sever it. I chose to leave you."A choked, pathetic sound escaped his throat. He fell to his knees, crawling toward me, his hands reaching out to grasp the hem of my coat."Elise... oh Godde
