By Fate I Conquer Cora Reilly の小説・ストーリー

"Do you see this? My husband gives me everything. I am the future Boss’s wife. I have supreme power and endless money. These are things you will never have in your entire life!" She glanced behind me, her eyes filled with thick contempt, mixed with a faint trace of smugness. "And you? You only deserve an ugly husband, and a status just as low as his!" She lifted her chin high and limped away. I was still standing there in a daze when warmth suddenly settled over my shoulders. A thick shawl had been draped around me. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Who were you talking to just now?" He was breathing slightly hard. It was obvious he had jogged back.

This pull is strange, scary but amazing. The problem now is, how do I keep the most stubborn Vampire to ever exist safe without having a fight with her?

Celine was awaiting trial. Justice was being served. The people who hurt her were paying the price. And Cora was free. Finally. Completely. Free to build the life she wanted. The story that started with a kidnapped four-year-old girl ended with a woman who had reclaimed everything that was stolen from her. Who had found love in the most unexpected place. Who had taken her rightful place as heiress to a fortune and a legacy. Cora Sterling walked out of her office. Into the boardroom. Ready to lead. Ready to succeed. Ready to live the life she had always deserved but never dared to hope for.

“Lies over truth.” Her eyes gleamed with something dangerous, something final. “Then I hope you’re ready for the consequences.” The air crackled with raw energy as Cora, consumed by rage and bitterness, lunged at them. Her body was a blur of motion, fueled by a hatred so intense it twisted her soul. The fight had erupted in an instant—Cora’s fists collided with Norwan’s, and Natalie stepped in with a swift defensive move, placing herself between them.

“Power is all well and good, but if you don’t have experience in attack and defence, in reading your opponent. You can easily be killed” “I don’t, but Cora my wolf does. I will give myself over to her and let her do what needs to be done. I’m done hiding. I’m done being afraid. And I’m done running. I’m going back with or without you and I’m standing up to him.” She tells me, power radiating from her voice. “Is your wolf sure that she can protect you?” I ask her. “My wolf. Cora is the Moon Goddess’s own daughter. She fought through the thousand-year war. Against the Gods. I’m quite sure that she can handle your father.” She is determined. She won’t be talked out of this.

I placed the tray and dishes on the counter sink and looked at her. It felt awkward as I just stood there and watched her. Sensing that I was looking at her, Cora put the book down. “Seat here,” she said, patting the stool next to her. And before I knew it, we started talking. Cora was Keeran’s cousin. She was a pack doctor and immediately we clicked in and our conversation started and I felt comfortable with her. “What? That’s crazy,” she said when I told her about my mate and the betrayal. “Your mate and your own sister?”

Emily Cora shifted back again, leaving me before everyone around me. Everyone slowly began to quiet down and stopped fighting, looking at one another with remorse. Too much had been spilled already, and a lot of men and women had already lost their mates and family members. And maybe...I should still be happy. Hope has finally been stopped from all her malice and killing spree. It should bring me joy because I am finally free of her, she won't be able to do any more harm to me or Tyler. She will never be able to hurt someone else, leaving unprotected packs, and killing innocent people, right?

she says and I chuckle as I step forward. “I killed my brother’s mate and future beta, the oracle, as you call her, had no part in it. I also killed fifteen fae scouts that tried to attack the Dark Moon Pack. You say the angel can’t be controlled, well sometimes it is ok to lose control. So I will ask again, Cora, would you do the same?” I ask her when she looks at me, her face clear of emotion. She folds her arms over her chest again, pouting. “To save my family? Then yes, I would. But it would seem you don’t need our help. So I won’t fight.” She says and I chuckle, shaking my head.

The dirt beneath her feet lifted her back up as she laughed. "Do you really think any of you stand a chance? I am more powerful now than you could imagine! I will no longer be under anyone's rule when I am done with you. After I deal with Cyrus, those incompetent children wearing the crown will be next! I am doing what is best for our people!" Cora's eyes were glazed over, looking demented as she cackled. With each wave of power, Cora's shield continued to protect her, and I could feel Joselin growing tired. Still, her anger drove her on and matching her emotions, I pushed forward.

“Damn… She really is crazy. And why was she so hellbent on seducing you? Because you were the one man she couldn’t get into bed? Pathetic. Also good on ya for sticking to your guns. You are completely right, she isn’t professional. I’ve heard more than a few pack members say the same thing about not feeling comfortable with their kids being here when she was dressed like a whore. Paraphrasing of course.” “Thank you. I stand by it. You haven’t met Cora yet but once you do, you’ll see why I hired her. She is going to be just what we need, the complete opposite of Clarice.” “And this Novaleigh girl?” “Also the complete opposite of Clarice.” “Is she here?” She asked excitedly, glancing around. “
