He Loved Me Too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Quick! Get some tools and lift the pillar a little!"Where's the hot water? Where are the thermal blankets? Hurry up!" Jack yelled."Alpha took them all for Lucy. He said Luna awakened her wolf spirit before turning eighteen. She's a prodigy and can wait a little longer, but Lucy has always been frail. Without those supplies, her life could be in danger."Another aftershock struck. The already unstable stone pillar snapped completely, and the whole thing crashed down on me.I couldn't move anymore. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.The scent of blood quickly filled the confined space.I could feel warm liquid continuously flowing out of me.Jack stood outside while desperately trying to move the pillar pinning me down, but against its crushing weight, his strength meant nothing.He was very worried about me. Even after his voice turned hoarse, he never stopped talking to me. "Luna, talk to me. Don't give up. Alpha will be back for you soon."Think about the pup. Think about

That night, William walked into my room.When he pushed open the door, the light I had deliberately left on was still glowing.I'd always had that habit. No matter where I was, I left a light on. I hoped it would guide him home to me.In one corner sat all the things I had prepared for our pup, along with gifts and blessings from the other members of the pack.This pup was supposed to be born carrying everyone's hopes.Unfortunately, he never even lived to see the sun.I'd left the emergency plans I organized for the pack on the desk.My pup-ready journal was next to them.Every page recorded the things I wanted to tell our pup and the things we would do together.Fearing that something unexpected might happen one day, I'd even written one final note on the last page.[William, no matter what happens, save our pup first.]William picked it up, skimmed through it for a moment, and chuckled."You're only with pup, Annie. Your anxiety is getting worse."Just as he was about t

There was silence.It was a solemn kind of silence.William snatched the voice recorder from Dad and replayed the voice recording over and over. With each playback, his expression grew darker.Hearing Lucy's voice was shocking enough, but what came in the end broke him completely.The sound of the collapsing building continued in the recording. My breathing became heavier.Then hurried footsteps approached. Jack's anxious voice echoed loudly. "Alpha, Luna is badly injured. The smell of blood is getting stronger. She needs immediate treatment!"William had said, "Lucy injured her leg. We have to help Lucy first."Even after I begged him for help, he ignored me.The rest of the recording was almost entirely Jack's voice.He was calling my name and begging William over the phone to come quickly, but William never came.The audio became increasingly chaotic until it finally ended when other werewolves discovered the voice recorder.William stood frozen for a long time before fin

After Lucy's crimes were made public throughout the pack, William's favoritism toward her became the talk of the town once again.It was all anyone discussed.I had helped countless werewolves during my years as Luna. After my death, many of them came to William's house and covered the walls with graffiti.The messages were brutal.If it had been the old William, he would have stormed outside and fought every last one of them.But now, he didn't do it.Instead, he silently endured every insult. Each night, he would go to my room and sit there with his head lowered in silence.He used to hate coming into my room. He always complained that it felt too depressing.Now, it had become the place where he spent most of his days.He unpacked every item I had bought for our pup and arranged each one carefully.He even organized my closet as if I would still come home someday.On top of all that, he gathered the ripped pages of the pup-ready journal he had once torn apart.He fitted

Six months later, another earthquake struck the pack.William, having previous experience coordinating disaster relief, joined the rescue effort on the front lines.The moment he heard over the radio that a shewolf with pup was trapped beneath a collapsed pillar, he rushed to the scene without a second thought.Seeing the massive pillar and the rubble pinning her down, he didn't stand back like everyone else waiting for heavy machinery to arrive.Instead, he started clearing the debris with his bare hands.Even when sharp rocks sliced open his palms, he didn't give up. He recalled my helpless, ragged breathing from that recording.Suddenly, he dropped to one knee and braced one end of the pillar with his shoulder.It was impossibly heavy.The steel and concrete were wedged tightly together, refusing to budge.He could hear his own bones cracking under the strain, but he didn't let go."The crane will be here in three minutes!" someone shouted.William didn't wait.Changing
