The Triplets' Regret: Bowing to Their Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Good evening, Alphas," I said. My voice was completely flat. "May I offer you some champagne?"The tray trembled. I took a sharp breath and forced my muscles to lock. Years of agonizing practice taught me how to control my body when my mind screamed to run.Thad twisted around in his chair. His silver eyes held a violent hardness his brothers managed to hide. When he looked at me, I felt his pure contempt."Is the scullery maid serving the top table now?" Thad asked loudly. The surrounding tables fell silent. "What a fitting role for a thief's pathetic daughter."Uneasy laughter rippled through the crowd. My cheeks burned. I kept my face frozen in polite obedience. Showing pain only encouraged predators to bite harder. Silence was my armor."Thad," Jaren said softly. The warning in his tone was clear. "She did not steal anything tonight.""Didn't she?" Thad leaned forward. His heavy elbows hit the wood. "Didn't her family steal? Didn't they deceive our parents into taking her in? Did

I stopped directly in front of the Alpha council table. I looked straight into the faces of Kaelen, Jaren, and Thad.Kaelen had one dark eyebrow raised in genuine intrigue. Jaren was leaning forward, his calculating eyes tracking my every breath. Thad had his jaw clenched tight with a dangerous, complicated tension."Alpha Kaelen," I said. My tone remained perfectly steady. "I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant interruption to your evening. I will clean up the broken glass immediately and return to my assigned duties."I knelt on the floor. I began collecting the jagged pieces of broken glass. The sharp shards immediately sliced into my cold fingers. I absolutely refused to flinch. Thin lines of red blood mixed with the spilled champagne on the white marble.I reached for the largest piece of glass. Before my fingers touched it, a large, warm hand closed firmly around my wrist.I snapped my head up. I looked directly into the silver eyes of Jaren Vane. His handsome face was comple

And now, for complex reasons I could not begin to understand, they were carefully bandaging my wounds. They were publicly declaring that I was far more than a disposable servant.What had possibly changed?More importantly, had anything actually changed at all? Or was this sudden shift simply another twisted, psychological form of cruelty?I looked up at Kaelen's striking face. I searched for a logical answer. His expression remained heavily guarded. His square jaw was locked tight. Yet, there was an undeniable shift in his eyes that had never been there before today.It was not guilt. That word did not fit an Alpha of his standing.It was recognition.But recognition of what?"You should get some rest," Kaelen finally broke the heavy silence. "Tomorrow is going to be a very long day. And there will certainly be severe consequences. For everything that happened out there tonight."He did not elaborate on what those consequences would entail. Would they fall on me? Would they fall on S

Evelina sat perfectly positioned in the dead center of the room on a plush velvet settee. Her posture was flawless. Her facial expression was a masterclass in wounded dignity. She wore a modest morning dress of pale blue silk that intentionally made her look incredibly fragile and deeply innocent. She looked like the perfect picture of a wronged maiden. Her eyes were even slightly red and puffy, clearly suggesting she had spent the morning crying.Standing in a protective semi circle around her were the three apex predators most likely to execute anyone who upset her. Kaelen, Jaren, and Thad Vane. All three Alphas wore matching expressions of controlled, dangerous irritation. However, their sharp eyes flickered toward me the second I entered the room, registering my presence with varying degrees of intense scrutiny.Surrounding the Alphas, positioned strategically at the exits and along the walls, were a dozen key members of the pack household. I spotted senior guards, upper tier serv

I reached deep into the patched pocket of my dress and pulled out my battered smartphone.A collective wave of utter confusion moved through the assembled crowd. Servants craned their necks to see what I was holding."About a month ago, I noticed a distinct baseline anomaly in the young mistress's quarters," I continued speaking clearly. I began scrolling rapidly through my encrypted file folders. "I was conducting my weekly deep clean of her room. I noticed a micro camera had been freshly installed directly inside the molding of her vanity mirror. It was expertly positioned to capture a wide angle view of the entire room. It covered her reflection, her writing desk, and the specific hidden wall safe where she claims this pendant is kept."Evelina's face drained of all color. She looked like a ghost. "That is absolutely ridiculous. Why would I ever install...""I asked myself the exact same logical question," I talked over her rising panic. "So, I conducted a quiet audit of the room's
