My Alpha Husband Killed Me, So I Married His Enemy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

The first warrior to kneel before me had blood running down his face.He was twice my size, broad-shouldered, with a scar cutting through his left eyebrow. His armor was cracked, his sword stained with the black blood of shadow creatures, and exhaustion had hollowed his cheeks.Yet when he reached me in the courtyard of the royal fortress, he dropped to one knee.“Give me your orders, Your Majesty.”For a moment, I couldn’t speak.Behind him, dozens of warriors stood among the wounded and the dying. Some carried broken weapons. Others leaned against the fortress walls, struggling to remain upright. Their eyes followed the injured warrior as he bowed before me.Then another man knelt.And another.Within seconds, the courtyard had fallen silent.Not every warrior bowed, but every warrior watched.I looked at the men and women who had spent their lives serving Alpha King Cassian. These were soldiers who had sworn loyalty to the strongest leader, who had been trained to recognize power t

“Seraphine, I was never supposed to inherit the crown.”Cassian’s words haunted me long after the vision disappeared.The candles had reignited. The commanders were still in the war chamber, and the cracked silver disk lay on the table between us. Yet I could barely hear the voices around me.I had married a king.I had trusted a man whose family had been entangled in the ancient covenant for generations. I had accepted that his father had made terrible choices, that his blood carried a dangerous inheritance, and that the Shadow King wanted to use him as a key to the prison beneath the mountain.But now I wondered whether I had misunderstood everything.What did Cassian mean when he said he was never supposed to inherit the crown?And why had he never told me?“Your Majesty?”Darius’s voice interrupted my thoughts.I looked up.Every person in the room was watching me. Lyra stood beside Selene, her fingers still wrapped around my hand. Damon remained under guard near the far wall.He

The ancient doors opened without a sound.That was the first thing that frightened me.Stone doors that heavy should have groaned. Chains should have rattled. Dust should have fallen from the ceiling.Instead, the darkness beyond the doorway simply widened, swallowing the light from our torches as if it had been waiting for us.Then Cassian’s warning echoed in my mind.Run.I reached for him through our mate bond.Nothing.No warmth. No familiar presence. No reassurance that he was still alive.Only an empty darkness that seemed to stretch between worlds.“Cassian?” I whispered.The silence answered.“Seraphine!” Lyra shouted.A black chain snapped around her waist and dragged her toward the open doorway. She drove her blade into the stone floor, but the chain pulled harder.I lunged forward and caught her hand.Pain tore through my shoulder.“Let go!” she gasped.“Not a chance!”Silver fire burst from my palm, striking the chain. It shattered, and Lyra crashed against me.Behind us,

Cassian’s warning continued to echo through my mind.And Damon is the key.I stared at the man standing before me, the man who had once been my husband, the man who had murdered me, and the man whose blood might now determine whether my real husband survived.Damon looked as though he had seen his own grave opening beneath his feet.“No,” he whispered. “That cannot be true.”The runes on the walls glowed brighter.The two names remained connected by a black line, and mine shone beneath them like a silver moon caught in a web.Darius raised his sword.“Your Majesty, we should restrain him more securely.”“Agreed,” Lyra said immediately. “We should have done it before entering this place.”Damon didn’t resist when the warriors approached him.He held out his hands.“Do it,” he said. “If my blood is what they need, keeping me restrained is the safest option.”I watched him carefully.A few days ago, he would have fought to escape. He would have searched for an advantage, manipulated the

The fourth chain began to break.I felt it through the mark on my wrist, a sharp, burning sensation that traveled up my arm and settled around my heart. For one terrible moment, I couldn’t breathe.Cassian.I reached for him through our mate bond.Cassian, answer me.Nothing.I tried again, pushing past the darkness that separated us.My love, please.A faint pulse answered.Then came a voice that wasn’t his.One kingdom must fall.I staggered away from Selene.“Seraphine?” she asked.“The connection is changing.”Her silver eyes narrowed. “Changing how?”“Something is using our bond to speak to me.”Before she could respond, the palace bells began ringing.Once.Twice.Then continuously.The sound of running feet filled the corridors. Guards shouted orders, doors slammed, and somewhere beyond the archive, a woman screamed.Darius rushed inside, his sword drawn.“Your Majesty, the eastern gate has been breached.”“By whom?”“We don’t know. The attackers were wearing royal uniforms.”I
