Mated to four heirs のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 27

KARL BLACKWOOD I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into my father's office. The door had barely closed behind me when I felt the weight of his presence pressing against the room, and I didn't need to look at him to know he was angry. My father had a particular silence when he was disappointed, and somehow, that silence was always worse than shouting. I slowly turned around. Alpha Blackwood stood behind his desk with both hands resting against its polished surface, his broad shoulders rigid and his jaw clenched. His eyes were fixed on me with the same coldness I had grown accustomed to since childhood, and for a moment, I felt like I was sixteen again, standing before him after making another mistake I didn't understand. "Sit." His voice was low, and I immediately noticed the tension in his shoulders. I didn't move. "Why?" I asked, keeping my voice calm as I watched him. His nostrils flared. "Because I told you to sit." He straightened slowly, and the aut

SAMANTHA CARTER I saw her I couldn't stop thinking about Adrian's face. Something had changed in the few seconds after he looked into my eyes, and even though he had tried to convince me that nothing was wrong, I knew better. I had spent most of my life learning how to read people because being the new girl in almost every situation had taught me that words weren't always honest, but expressions usually were. Adrian had looked scared… not of me exactly, but of something he had seen. And I couldn't stop wondering what it was. I sat at my desk with my chin resting against my palm while our history teacher continued talking at the front of the classroom, but I hadn't heard a single word she had said in the last five minutes. My eyes remained on the open textbook in front of me, yet the words had begun to blur together. It was a combined class of both old and new students. That meant my mates — or whatever name best befit them — were there. I glanced across the classroom. Ad

CARLA VALE She showed up!I needed sleep, but it had become something my mind refused to give me.I lay on my bed with one arm beneath my head and the other resting across my stomach, staring at the ceiling while the noise from the rest of the residence slowly faded into the background.Darius had been laughing loudly somewhere down the hallway earlier, Adrian had probably told him to keep his voice down, and Karl had undoubtedly threatened to throw both of them out of the building. But tonight, none of it mattered to me.My thoughts were still trapped on what had happened to Samantha in the history classroom, especially the strange change in her scent and the ancient energy I had sensed beneath it. Something about her was awakening, and although I didn't understand what it was yet, my wolf had recognized it immediately. That frightened me because I had spent years studying old supernatural records, searching for answers to my curse, and I knew

SAMANTHA CARTER I didn't stop walking until I reached my room.Even then, I didn't immediately go inside. I stood outside my door with my hand resting on the handle, staring at the floor while my mind replayed everything that had just happened between Carla and me.I could still feel the warmth of his fingers against my cheek, and every time I remembered how close his lips had come to mine, my stomach twisted in a way I didn't understand. He had almost kissed me. Carla Vale, the boy who had spent days treating me like I was something dangerous, had almost kissed me, and then he had pushed me away as if getting close to me was the worst mistake he could make.I finally opened my door and stepped inside, closing it behind me before leaning against it with a long breath. My room was quiet and dark, and for a moment, I simply stood there trying to convince myself that I wasn't going to think about him anymore. It didn't work.The moment I closed my eyes, I saw his face aga
