I Became An Evolving Space Monster Chapter 18

北都の富裕層の間で、越野陸人（こしの りくと）は「妻を溺愛している男」として知られていた。 幼い頃からの片思いで、十六の時には夜空いっぱいに花火を打ち上げて告白してきた。 十八の時、私が仇敵の不意打ちから彼をかばって耳が聞こえなくなったら、それ以来ますます私を命のように大事にしてくれるようになった。 彼こそが私の一生の幸せだと思っていた――見知らぬ人からの友達申請を承認するまでは。 その相手のSNSには、陸人の姿があふれていた。 上半身裸で眠っている写真、女性のお腹を笑顔で撫でている姿、妊婦健診に付き添う動画まであった。 そして、こんなやり取りも残されていた。 「ゆっくり体を休めて。雪ちゃんを妊娠させるつもりはない。彼女は後天的な難聴とはいえ、万が一子どもに影響が出たら困るから」 その瞬間、私は自分のお腹に手を当てたまま、呆然としていた。 陸人はまだ知らない。私が妊娠していることを。 私は涙をこらえながら離婚協議書を作成し、中絶の予約を入れた。 ふと振り返ると、十八歳の頃の陸人が突然現れて、真っ赤な目でじっと私を見つめていた。 「安里雪代（あんり ゆきよ）、どうして俺の子どもを堕ろすの？もう俺のこと、いらないの？」

My fated mate, Alpha Baton, had once shackled his bloodlust for me. He’d built a corporate empire from the ashes of his bloody conquests, all to give me a civilized home. Even when my father was framed for murdering the brother of his first love, Seraphina, he held me gently. "Don't worry, Tricia. I'll face this with you." But on the day of the trial, my father was condemned as a murderer and exiled to the North. And Baton? He was celebrating, with his arm wrapped around Seraphina. I hunted down the witness, demanding answers, only to find him trembling as he stared at Baton, who stood right behind me. It was Baton. He had threatened the witness into lying. He was willing to destroy my father, just to make Seraphina happy. "Seraphina's brother is dead. Someone has to pay the price." The mate bond between us didn't just snap—it shattered. Agony ripped through my soul. If I meant nothing to him, our marking ceremony was a promise. And now, it was one I had to break.

He was a billionaire for a reason, yet he was swayed by a woman. Recalling the moment he entered into the living room as she hurled her red satin bra at him, revealing her naked treasure. She had captivated his attention in a manner that no other woman had before. Then she'd contested and dared him, and he'd discovered he enjoyed it. Women frequently become charmingly submissive around him. But she was so unique. Forget danger. Challenge could have been her middle name.

My Alpha mate Kieran ordered our eight-year-old son to burn my mother alive because his Omega assistant accused me of killing her pet dog out of spite. Kieran's eyes were filled with impatience and disgust. "You're supposed to be our pack's respected Luna. Why would you target an innocent Omega? Whatever harm her pet suffered, your mother will endure the same. Your mother is paying the price for your jealousy!" I fell to my knees, begging Kieran to spare my mother. But he commanded our seven-year-old son Owen to light the fire himself. My son didn't hesitate for a second as he threw the torch into the pile of wood. "That's what you get for always going against Aunt Sera!" I screamed and cried, desperately begging them to help me put out the flames. "Please, I'm begging you, take my mother to the healing center..." "Enough, Aria. Your mother is still lying in the hospital bed. That's just a training dummy. Stop putting on this pathetic act." After saying that, father and son walked away without looking back. They didn't know that it really was my mother burning in those flames. But when I finally gave up on them and left, why did they both come crawling back, begging me to return?

Amanda, highly aware of the obvious infatuation that Maxwell has on her, tries to avoid his advances towards her given their conflicting age differences. She speculates that Maxwell's attraction towards older women is deeply rooted to fact that he might just have some 'Mommy issues'. Maxwell refutes the hypothesis by claiming that he's only attracted to her , not older women in general. Both are put to the test when Amanda , returning from yet another failed date one night, runs into Maxwell who notices the tears in her eyes and proceeds to comfort her.

They end up sharing a bottle of wine, getting drunk while reminiscing on the simpler days. A kiss is shared during the vulnerable moment between these two, which would lead to regrets and broken friendships.
