“Marked as Property, Stolen by the Alpha” のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

“They polished me like an object before they sold me.”The woman tightening the silver chain around my throat did not even look ashamed.“Hold still,” she snapped. “If the future Luna enters the hall looking cheap, we will all suffer for it.”Future Luna.The title tasted like poison.I stared at my reflection in the tall mirror. White silk wrapped around my body. My dark hair had been pinned high with silver pins shaped like wolves. Paint covered the bruises on my wrists.But nothing could hide the mark burned into my shoulder.The Thorn crest.Property of the Alpha bloodline.I touched it once, lightly.The maid slapped my hand away.“Do not smudge the powder.”I almost laughed.They cared more about powder than skin.Outside the chamber, music played through the mansion halls. Glasses clinked. Nobles laughed. Tonight was the Claiming Banquet, where Kael Thorn would announce me as his chosen omega before the entire pack.My stomach twisted.Chosen.As if I had ever been asked.The d

Kael came for my throat.Silas met him in the air.Their bodies crashed into a table so hard the wood exploded beneath them.The bar erupted.Growls tore through the room. Glass shattered. Chairs flew as Silver Ridge hunters charged and the bikers of the Den slammed into them like a storm.I stumbled backward, clutching the sanctuary token so tightly the metal bit into my palm.“Stay down!” the blonde bartender shouted as she vaulted the counter and smashed a bottle over a hunter’s head.I dropped behind an overturned table just as claws ripped through the space where my face had been.The room smelled of blood, whiskey, and rage.And over all of it—Silas.I could track him by instinct now. Every sound he made cut through the chaos.Kael slammed him into a pillar.Silas laughed.Actually I laughed.“You still hit like a spoiled prince.”Kael’s eyes glowed bright gold.“You dare stand between me and what’s mine?”Silas wiped blood from his mouth.“There’s that word again.”Then he dro

“My mother is here?”The words barely sounded human.Jaxon nodded once.“She came alone. No escort. No weapons.”Silas’s expression turned colder than I had yet seen.“No one from Silver Ridge comes alone.”I was already moving.Silas caught my wrist before I reached the hall.“You’re not going out there like this.”“Like what?”“In heat. Emotional. Vulnerable.”Anger snapped through my panic.“I am not a child.”“No,” he said, stepping closer. “Children are easier to protect.”I yanked my hand free.“My mother could die.”“And walking into their trap may kill you first.”“Then let me decide that.”His eyes flashed.“That is exactly what I’m trying to force myself to allow.”The room went still.Even Jaxon looked between us like he had stumbled into something dangerous.I shoved past them both.“Move.”Silas moved first.He walked ahead of me.Blocking every possible threat without asking permission.I hated how safe it made me feel.The main bar had gone quiet.Broken furniture lined

“And now Alpha Darius knows I did it.”The room went dead silent.Even the men fighting stopped for one stunned second.Kael stood in the wreckage with blood on his mouth and madness in his eyes.The silver collar gleamed on the floor between us like a dead snake.My stomach churned.“You’re lying,” I whispered.Kael looked straight at me.“Do I look amused?”No.He looked reckless.Silas’s voice came low and lethal.“Why?”Kael wiped blood from his lip with his thumb.“Because no one collars her.”The words hit harder than they should have.I hated that.I hated that a part of me remembered every childish dream of him protecting me.Silas stepped forward.“You expect gratitude?”Kael laughed bitterly.“I expect nothing from you.”Then his eyes returned to me.“But from her? Maybe one minute of honesty.”I folded my arms to stop shaking.“Honesty? You publicly called me damaged goods.”“I was buying time.”The room exploded with disbelief.Jaxon barked a laugh.“That might be the wors

“We found the tunnel first.”The words burned through my mind louder than the arrows still vibrating in the wall.Silas moved instantly.“Everyone out of sight. Now.”The bar exploded into motion.Mara dragged me behind the counter.Jaxon shoved overturned tables into position.Kael pulled his men into formation like instinct still made him Alpha.My mother grabbed my arm.“Mira, don’t go—”I pulled free.“I don’t have time to be careful.”Her eyes filled with panic.“That’s exactly how they win.”Silas appeared in front of me like he had been there the entire time.“You stay behind me when we move.”“I’m not hiding.”He leaned closer.“You’re not hiding. You’re surviving.”That hit harder than it should have.Kael’s voice cut in from behind us.“They’re inside the tunnel already.”Silas snapped his head toward him.“How many?”Kael’s jaw tightened.“Enough.”Jaxon cursed loudly.“They cut us off before we even started.”Mara checked the arrow embedded in the wall.“These aren’t stand
