I Who Have Never Known Men Audiobook の小説・ストーリー

Sakto rin na nakarating kami sa room kung kaya’t pumasok na kami roon. Pumasok na rin ang guro at nagsimulang magturo, ngunit sa buong lesson na itinuturo ng bawat guro na pumapasok sa room, hindi ako makapag-focus dahil sa pilit na lumilitaw ang memorya ng nangyari kagabi. Damn it, Rowan. -ROWAN SALVADOR POV- ~•~ “Vee, alis muna ako.” Paalam ko nang makapag bihis ako.

Even when I was completely estranged from my parents, he became my safe haven. However, two years ago, something changed. He fell seriously ill, and even though I had given him my kidney to save his life, he suddenly went mad and fell for Cindy. He said, “I’m tired of her. She's so gloomy. Cindy, on the other hand, is bubbly, sweet, and knows how to please me. Even when I was in the hospital, she made sure I was comfortable.” That was when it hit me that the man who once loved me so deeply was now a monster.

I heard a saccharine voice on the other end. "Alpha Carlen, your little pup is kicking me inside. It's driving me mad…" My heart ached sharply, and I quickened my pace. He didn't follow me again this time. I smiled bitterly, unsure whether to feel relieved or heartbroken. I reached out to my mentor, Hannah Rubio, who had once guided me with such care. "Professor Rubio, I've decided to join your medical research program on Icebound Island." There was a hint of surprise from the other end of the line.

“I am not ashamed of loving a great man. I am not ashamed of receiving his trust. I am not ashamed of the crown he placed upon my head. The only shame belongs to those who would rather burn an empire to the ground than see it ruled by a love they cannot understand.” He took a step closer to the camera, his image intensifying, dominating the screen. “They broke into my home. They attacked my friends. They buried my mentor and then tried to bury his memory under a mountain of lies. They thought the shock of the bomb, the threat of the gun, would break me.” A faint, terrifying smile touched his lips. “It only forged me. I am not broken. I am tempered. I am the heir that Joe Brian chose. Not in

His voice thundered, and he looked like he was angry. I suddenly lost the courage to speak to him again. What could I possibly tell him? That he should turn around and return to Daxter's pack? Would he even listen to me? ‘No. No. This can't be happening’. I thought and was very anxious. The thought of meeting them again… I didn't want that. What I had wished for in this life was to never cross paths with them again after I was banished from the pack. But now… why is everything not going my way? What is going on?

I put my hands on his face. "Listen to me," I said. He looked at me. "We have survived worse than whispers. We have survived your father. My father. Phoebe. The fake pregnancy. The lawsuits. The funeral. We have survived all of it. Together." Tears formed in his eyes. He did not wipe them away. "I know," he said. "Then do not be scared of people who do not know us. They do not know what we have been through. They do not know how hard we fought to be here. Their opinions do not matter." He leaned forward. His forehead touched mine.

Changes that would eventually become impossible to hide. “I don’t know how to do this,” I whispered to the baby growing inside me. “I don’t know how to survive this. But I’m trying. I’m trying so hard.” The baby didn’t respond. Of course it didn’t. It was just a cluster of cells, unaware that its father had rejected it before it even had a chance to exist in his world. Unaware that its mother was terrified. Unaware that the world it was being born into was complicated and painful and full of people who would judge.

My voice came out weaker than I intended. For several seconds, silence followed. Then the man spoke. “My name is Daniel.” That didn’t help. I didn’t know any Daniel. “What do you want?” I asked. “I need to talk to you.” His voice was calm. Too calm. The kind of calm that somehow made everything worse. I took another step backward. “I don’t know you.” “I know.” “Then why are you here?” Another pause. Then he said something that made my entire body go still. “I knew your mother.”

I was someone who didn't belong, someone who wasn't meant to be seen. I didn't even have the right to meet them. Randall moved easily among the four elders, playing host like it was his home. They looked at me, confused, like they had never seen me before. Sensing it, Randall came over with a strained smile. "Elliot, is the baby crying again? Looking for her mom? Why don't you wait here? We'll be done soon." The room went dead quiet. "A baby? So you're the one who tricked Olivia? The other man?"
