My Brothers Chose Her, So I Married the Blind Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 9

With only three days left before the marriage, I began packing my things.My attendant, Mia Carter, grumbled as she folded my clothes. "Your brothers are convinced Sophia is the bride. They're throwing her a farewell banquet in the Moon Garden and haven't even asked about you."I tucked away the wolf-fang necklace Mother had given me. "Let them be."All I wanted was one last look at the home I had known for so many years before I left.When we were children, my brothers would lift me onto their shoulders to pick fruit. Whenever nightmares jolted me awake, they gathered around my bed and sang me back to sleep.Everything changed after Sophia threw herself in front of Caine to shield him from an attack.She had those big, watery eyes, and she had suffered through years of wandering alone.At first, I genuinely felt sorry for her. I gave her clothes and a room and treated her like a real sister.She offered me a moonstone Mother had left behind, then went crying to my brothers. She told t

Mother saw my face, and her steps faltered.The next instant, she rushed to the bedside. Her hands trembled as she reached for the wound, then pulled back, afraid of hurting me. All she could do was grip my hand."Layla, what happened to your face?"Father's gaze moved from my red, blistered face to the bandaged right hand.The full force of his Alpha authority crashed over the room."Who did this?"I looked at Sophia.The color drained from my three brothers' faces.Before Sophia could speak, Caine dropped to his knees and rushed to control the story before anyone else could."Father, the fault lies with the three of us. Sophia had nothing to do with it."I arranged the farewell banquet. I failed to keep my younger siblings in line, and Layla was hurt twice because of it."Rhael was seething, but he still stepped in front of Sophia."I lit the fire, and I was the one who left the oil where it could spill. Punish me instead!"But don't take it out on Sophia. She doesn't owe Layla anyth

Caine's hand froze around my wrist.Knox strode into the hall. His pale gray eyes had no focus, yet the force of his presence made every wolf instinctively lower their head.Guided by the mind-link, he came straight to me and raised his hand, stopping half an inch from my cheek."A scald from healing oil. Your right hand smells burned too."He couldn't see, yet he understood my injuries better than my three sighted brothers did.Caine finally let go of my wrist and managed a stiff explanation."This is a family matter. Layla is only acting out. She could never survive in the North."Knox turned his head slightly."I'm asking my wife."The choice is hers."He held out his hand to me."Layla, will you come with me?"All three brothers looked at me.For the first time, genuine panic showed in their eyes.I didn't hesitate. I placed my uninjured left hand in Knox's palm."I will."A barely audible sigh passed through the mind-link.Knox draped his cloak over me and turned to leave, his voi

The next day, Father pronounced his judgment according to pack law.Sophia was stripped of her pack status and banished from the territory. My brothers lost command of the pack's young warriors, were demoted to common soldiers, and were permanently barred from competing for the Alpha title.A month later, they removed every insignia of rank, dressed in the worn armor of common soldiers, and set out for the North.From the Frostmoon Pack to the North, the road crossed three mountain ranges buried year-round in snow, then cut through the Black Pine Forest, where wild beasts roamed.In the old days, wolf guards cleared the road for them, and pack members prepared their food and tents. Now they were ordinary soldiers stripped of rank. No pack along the way gave them special treatment.At the second snow-capped mountain, a blizzard buried the trail. Their mounts collapsed one after another.Caine's left leg developed frostbite, so Rhael carried him through knee-deep snow. Lucian dug through
