Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 181 - チャプター 190

For the longest time after I broke my connection with Kane, I lie awake thinking about him. It was faint, and I could barely make out what he said, but it was good to hear his voice, and it gave me a little hope, reminded me that I’m not alone. I don’t know how long Tully was gone, but by the time they brought her back, I’ve had to nurse Adare twice, so at least four hours. She curled up in her bed and refused to talk to me. It wasn’t until they switched on the lights that I saw the damage they’d done to her body. She was covered in blood from the many blows she took to her face, and the back of her dress was torn away so they could get at her with a whip. After I put Adare down for his nap, I took her into the bathroom to clean her wounds. “You won’t heal,” I said while I helped her to undress. “Why did they beat you?” “They wanted information.” “What information?” “They wanted to know if we’re getting ready for war, how many warriors we have, where all our packs live, even the n

Kane's POV Glenn comes strolling into the bar where we agreed to meet after he got rid of our bloody clothes. As always, he turns heads as far as he goes, but he’s blissfully unaware. It's one of his more endearing qualities -- he doesn't know how attractive he is, and he doesn't care what others think of him. “I ordered lunch,” I say when he sits down. He nods and takes a seat opposite me. “Did you see the news?” “Yeah. Boiler exploded, they say.” “Sure. A boiler. Good thing the Prime Minister’s on vacation, isn’t it?” The conversation’s mostly for anyone listening in on us. There’s no mention on the news of bodies with gunshot wounds or household staff that’s been dead for three days already. A server, a sexy young girl in short shorts, appears next to our table carrying a massive tray. She unloads the food and two pints, giving us appreciative looks as she strolls away, swaying her ass. Glenn leans back, watching her go. “Hey,” I admonish him. “You have a wife waiting for you.

I wish I could project out of the building so I can see where we are, but there’s some kind of spell around the place that ricochets me back to my body whenever I try. I’d break the spell, but that would alert The Templars, and even though Innocent knows I can use magic, he doesn’t know to what extent I can use it yet. When I came back after my visit to Innocent’s office, I checked Tully’s collar. It’s nicked in the same place as mine, but unlike me, she hasn’t been able to manifest her magic or connect with Glenn. I can’t help but wonder why they’re doing it. Why not just throw us in a cell and force us to use our magic? It’s a game of control. The same game my father played. Use fear and pain to get us under control, and when they finally take the collars off, we’ll be so grateful that we’ll do anything for them, but at the same time we’ll be so afraid of being collared again, that we won’t fight back. I should have killed them when I had the chance. Back in the forest. It wouldn’

Kane's POV Zael lands softly next to me. “How many Templars?” I ask “We counted thirty outside, but we should expect a fair few more inside.” “Can you hear anything from inside?” “No, not anymore. The Pope no doubt informed them that you’re still alive.” “Yeah, him or Feodora. Okay.” I turn to face my army. We are just outside the Templar’s perimeter where their cameras and magic can’t find us in the dark. “I will go first,” I say. “Break their spells. Chancellor Glenn will give the command to attack. Stay in your human forms as long as possible, we don’t want anyone to see us shift.” The church is right on the outskirts of the city, and there aren’t many human eyes here, but I still don’t want to risk it. The air is alive with excitement. These wolves haven’t had a good battle in years, and they’re looking forward to it. Pushing my own fear way down deep, I creep up to the church, sticking to the shadows as much as possible. I don’t want to use a camouflage spell, because it wi

Lester returns with the new collar, and suddenly I’m very afraid. Innocent looks at me and gives me something I’m sure he thinks is a reassuring smile. “It won’t hurt.”“It’s silver, of course it will hurt.”“No, my dear child. You’ll see.”He nods at Lester who walks over to me and asks me to sit down. “May I reassure her, your excellency? Share my experience with the collar?”“Yes, of course. Please do that if it will put her mind at ease.”Holy fuck, this man is giving me whiplash. Last night, he was cold and indifferent, and tonight he’s like a loving father, kind and caring. It’s freaking me out.Lester unlocks the collar and turns it around to show me the inside. “It’s insulated with leather,” he says. “The silver won’t touch your skin.”“Okay,” I say, nearly breathless with fear now.“You won’t be able to communicate with your wolf, and you won’t be able to shift. On the next full moon, which is just a little over two weeks from now, when your wolf forces the shift, the silver
