Jared Chance Novel の小説・ストーリー

*Castle of Shadows* Sarene DeMarco I leaned my hip against the grand marble windowsill overlooking the night veranda deep in thought. I had dawned my sleep wear for the day ahead. It was near midnight but she wasn’t ready for sleep. Our people were able to experience the sun from over the horizon and that was it before it peaked fully in the sky but in doing so had its’ effects. It slowed our ability to function. Our thoughts always a mess and vision blurs. In my opinion it sucked. The sun begins to rise around six o’clock in the morning which in itself five o’clock horizon. I was leader our people and as such I felt the urge to disband the position of my second in command, Gabriel Hues. At

When I got home, I married my books and read them so harder than I have ever done. Jared came home some minutes later and we sat together at the sit-out. I didn't pay much attention to him since I was being a book warm. I spent more time reading history because it was simply fascinating. Some brought tears to my eyes but most of them were eventful. "Everyone at the pack house is going through chaos because of Keiran. He shouldn't have left and now those rogues are definitely cooking up something." Jared complained like he usually does when something bothers him so much.

Chapter One Lily stood in the doorway of her once-shared bedroom, her heart pounding in her chest. The room, now stripped of any personal belongings, felt cold and empty. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. This was it. The moment she had been dreading and anticipating in equal measure. She was finally leaving Mark, her controlling and jealous husband of five years. As she picked up her suitcase, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. She knew Mark would be devastated, but she couldn't continue living a life devoid of love and happiness.

"Michael." I smiled, jumping off my seat and holding onto the counter for support. My vision was a haze and in seconds I was in a crowd of swimming bodies. Ready to forget everything and embrace the unreal reality of singleness. It was thrilling. I was no more sad. I was happy. I was bouncy and laughing with strangers. My heels were clanking and tripping over each other. But I didn't care because I had someone to fall on. I drank from random bottles. I gagged. I swayed. I laughed. I danced. I jumped. Then I returned to where I came from. All flushed up. I smashed my head on the counter. The trajectory sending an alarming pulse of pain through my head. I looked at the book next to my head and

“I can stay here with you...” “That won't be necessary Mariana. I'll join you inside. Please leave me to myself.” Kane took a sip of the cold bubbling champagne and twirled his glass before staring at the golden liquid. “Is this because of Brenda?...” Brenda paused after seeing Kane's cold eyes on her. “Fine, I'll walk in. But you better come soon.” Mariana walked away and Kane felt his neck itching. He tugged his tie a little loose and didn't know why the itching feeling had something to do with that woman he bumped into earlier.

Unfortunately, Nicole was standing between her and Jared. 'But Jared will be mine today.' Chloe checked her watch with a triumphant look on her face. When the time came, she would go over and take Jared away. He would have no way of shaking her off when it was a done thing. No one knew what Chloe was thinking. The Riddle family members were stunned by this unexpected news, not expecting that Jared was not only dating Nicole but also the CEO of JJ Johnston Group. Meanwhile, Mr. Riddle Sr. felt thankful for it, as Jared was no longer what he used to be: he was more successful than ever before. His thinking was that had Nicole not been Zane's foster daughter, she would not have deserved Jared.

Or maybe Wade spoke too soon. The next morning at Snow Mountain, Jared went on a walk before breakfast was served. He was checking the territory and the structures they have built after the last attack. Clearly, they have made changes and didn’t conform with the previous layout. He was just beginning to relax when he caught a faint scent and frowned. It was sweet and enticing. His eyes slowly constricted as he began to understand what it was. Mate! He has a second chance mate and she’s here!

Down the street, in a dim café long past closing hours, Jared closed his laptop. He’d found something. Not proof. Not yet. But a pattern. And patterns, Jared knew, were how disasters began. He slipped his phone into his pocket and stood. “Mia deserves better than this,” he muttered. And for the first time, he decided not to ask Liam anything at all. He would watch. And when the time came He would act.

Everyone at the scene froze in place. In my previous life, I had been nothing but a loyal doormat for Rebecca Schwartz. I had begged her to stay at my house, and even went as far as to invite Freddie Warner to live with us as the adopted heir to Hale Group, all to make her happy. But these two had conspired against me when I fell ill, stealing my inheritance while I was at my weakest. Back then, when I was on my deathbed, Rebecca, pregnant with Freddie's child, stormed into my room with him at her side.

The flames in the fireplace hissed softly, like they too could feel the tension in the room. She walked to him, her hand gently grazing his arm. “Then tell me now.” His heart slammed. Now. It’s now or never. Jared turned to her, his eyes glowing faintly with the wild light of his wolf. “It was five years ago,” he began, voice low and broken. “The night Caleb brought a woman to my bed.
