They Regretted Choosing My Stepsister のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

"Nothing," I said softly. "I'm just not feeling well."Raphael's expression relaxed slightly, but he still looked a little annoyed. "Helena went out of her way to get you this breakfast. Aren't you feeling unwell because you've been eating irregularly?"Don't be so picky. Just eat it. Don't waste food."Listening to his feigned concern, I found the whole thing ridiculous.Where had he been when I'd felt sick from skipping breakfast in the past?"I know you're still upset about yesterday." Raphael frowned slightly. "But you really went too far this time. Apologize to Helena later, and we'll put this behind us."I looked quietly at his face. "Was that everything you wanted to say to me?"Raphael raised an eyebrow as if he'd just recalled something. "After graduating, we're going to have our mate bond ceremony. You'll become my mate. You know that, don't you?"He stepped closer and hesitated briefly before continuing. "That's why I want you to give up your application for the head

Before leaving, I'd thrown away almost everything in my dorm.The bracelets and stuffed animals Raphael had casually given me lately were nowhere near as exquisite as the necklace he'd given Helena.The snacks Silas had given me were leftovers he couldn't finish and gifts from classmates who had crushes on him.Before Helena came along, they'd given me plenty of precious gifts too.Unfortunately, I didn't need any of them anymore.I took only my own diary, which contained numerous old photographs documenting every award I'd ever won.Clara hugged me tightly and cried for a while before helping me finish packing. "Are you really not going to tell them?""They wouldn't care." I shook my head. "I bet they're still fussing over Helena right now."Clara sighed. "Martha, pull yourself together when you get to your new place. Stop making yourself miserable over people who don't deserve you."I smiled. "Don't worry. From now on, I'm living for myself."When I walked out of the dorm b

"That's impossible." Silas shook his head desperately. "She's my biological sister. How could she make such a big decision to leave the pack without discussing it with me?"He immediately retrieved his phone and called our mother.As soon as she answered, she spoke before he could get a word in. "Silas, did you make your sister upset again?"Silas paused. "Mom, did you know Martha was transferring to another academy?"Mom snorted. "Of course I did. She told me two weeks ago. She said she wasn't happy here and wanted to study somewhere else."Tell me, did you, as her older brother, go see her off when she left?""I didn't," Silas admitted softly.He hadn't even known I was leaving. How could he possibly have gone to see me off?"That's enough. Martha called me to say she's doing well out there and told us not to worry. You should stop bothering her too," Mom said.The call ended.Silas stood frozen in place.It turned out everyone had known I was leaving except the two of the

Raphael didn't leave as I'd expected him to.After that day, whenever I appeared in a public area on campus, he'd follow me around.A whole month passed, and even my classmates started asking who the man was who kept stalking me.I ignored him, and he never approached me to start a conversation.However, I often received gifts from unknown senders.Sometimes it was a pretty cake. Sometimes it was a warm latte. Other times, it was an umbrella that came just when I needed one.I never accepted any of them. I simply threw them straight into the trash.Then one day, I spent the entire day working in Betty's lab.Evan worked under the same mentor as I did. He was eager to learn and was always finding opportunities to ask me questions."Martha, are you sure it's okay for that strange man to be following you around?"He suddenly asked me about it.I paused before waving dismissively. "It's fine. He'll disappear soon enough."Evan nodded and said in a serious tone, "Just let me kno
