The Women By Kristin Hannah Summary の小説・ストーリー

The kitchen felt too bright, too exposed, my naked lower half still slick and trembling from Mason’s cock. Madison’s eyes were wild, but not with the rage I expected. There was heat there. Dark, possessive heat. “I told you,” she said, voice low and steady, “if you want this… we are family. No secrets. No hiding.” She turned to Mason, who stood frozen, cock still hard and glistening. In one fluid motion, she stripped his suit jacket off, then ripped his shirt open, buttons scattering across the floor. Her hands moved to his belt, freeing him completely. Then she shed her own clothes, standing naked and confident, her body a mature mirror of the hunger I felt.

A couple of women behind her had rough ropes in their hands and came towards us disgruntled, throwing the ropes to the ground and grabbing Hannah. They were all she-wolves, much stronger than we. Hannah was pinned to the ground and her clothes were instantly ripped to shreds, revealing her black bra and black panty triangles as she ducked and kept screaming. I couldn't escape this treatment either, one of the she-wolves grabbed my arm and pulled it so hard. I felt my bones creak. I immediately begged for mercy, "No! Please let go of me! I'll strip myself clean!"

If she kept getting tangled up with Dominic, it was only a matter of time before someone found out about Chloe. She didn't know what Dominic's fiancée was like, but she'd acted in enough dramas about rich families to know that the real thing was way scarier than anything they put on screen. In those worlds, women fought to protect their spot. They wouldn't hesitate to wipe out anything that threatened it. Hannah couldn't afford to lose Chloe, so she needed to end things with Dominic. Her eyes were full of determination—cold and ruthless. She didn't have much love left to give anyone anyway. Half of it was saved for Anathea, and the other half went to Chloe.

Lyra flinched, the smirk slipping from her lips. “You’re still the same miserable, jealous girl who can’t stand to see someone else shine,” Hannah continued, her voice breaking with rage. “You used my phone, drugged me, ruined me… and for what? James? That spineless coward who believed a lie over his wife without a second thought?” She flung the hospital blanket off her legs and stood, wavering on her feet but strong in her anger. “Take him. Take all of it. You deserve each other.”

“You didn’t know because you didn’t want to know. You were too busy getting ready to be the perfect Luna for your pack’s greatest enemy, while you were being treated differently the rest of us suffered in that hellhole. Women were being abused sexually by those bull dogs every day, they were forced to have sex, they were forced to get pregnant and have pups for those bastards and after they had their kids—they were killed.” She paused studying Hana’s face before continuing, “The ones who survived the attack… they’re all rogues now, scattered across packs that don’t even care if they live or die. And you? You’re here, saving the southern packs, building alliances, as if you don’t carry the bl

Rachel came in the last group, her lip busted and cradling her hand. The men yelled. The women cried. Hannah closed her eyes. It was her fault. She'd talked them into escaping. It'd taken most of the night, but she'd done it. And it had failed. "Hannah..." Christine backed away from her. Hannah glanced up. Two women were pointing at her. Half the men glared her way. Oh God... She held her head up, refusing to hide, though her insides were shaking.

“It’s a new beginning for you, take everything that is offered.” “What about my books?” she asked as her brother walked away. “That’s not a problem, I’m headed to the packhouse after this, I’ll drop them off.” Hannah assured her. The bubbly woman guided Electra over to the car and then drove to the beauty salon. Crystal Pass was a city full of trees and green spaces; parks and playgrounds abounded. And they were all open to people of all ranks and statuses. Hannah waved and gave the latest gossip about the different pack members that they passed. She kept up a one-sided conversation, answering her own questions. Even if Electra had known any of the answers, the other woman did not slow down

"Thanks again, Don." "Get some rest, Hannah," the man replied quietly. Then Don and the guard left the room and the door was closed. Hannah felt very out of place and not sure what to say. In the middle of the room, two other women were still absorbed in their card game. "I'm Shelley," said the woman with chin-length brown hair. She pointed to the woman with very short black hair and the one with red hair that cascaded down to her waist. "This is Lilith and Demi."

The silence that was not empty. "Tell me about it," he said. "All of it. The room. The women." She told him. About the oval of chairs. About the particular quality of a room full of women who have all been in the kitchen in their different ways. About the woman who had read the book four times and needed to see that she was real. About the woman who was three days into her own version of the discovery and had come to the event in the particular bravery of someone still in the acute phase of something reaching toward the one thing that might help.
