Redemption Will Jordan の小説・ストーリー

I wouldn’t make that mistake again. Whatever this was, whatever strange pull Zara had over me, I would crush it before it became a weakness. I opened my fist and stared at the ring one last time before slipping it back onto my finger. My eyes hardened. This changes nothing. I was Cade. Alpha. King. A man forged from loss and vengeance. And nothing, not even her would make me forget that no matter how much she looks like her.

“Then I’ll start tomorrow.” I stepped off the porch and began walking toward the gathering hall. The moon followed my steps, pale and watching. “You know,” I said without turning, “if you ever truly want redemption, Kian… it starts with silence. With listening.” Behind me, I heard him say nothing. Good. I didn’t need promises anymore. I needed proof. --- By the time I reached the hall, I found Alpha Vaughn speaking with Mira, the healer’s daughter. She was dusted in ash, her apron stained with blood that didn’t belong to her. Her eyes were hollow. We’d all lost something in this war.

There was a muffled scuffle, Sienna’s laugh, and then Jordan’s voice booming into the receiver. “Well, well, if it isn’t our hero,” Jordan teased. “Sir Damon, Knight in Shining Armor. Thank you for rescuing our damsel today. Sienna would probably still be lying in the dirt if not for you.” “Jordan—” Sienna’s muffled protest came from the background. Jordan continued, grinning through his words. “Seriously, though, man, we’re grateful. You’ve earned about ten thousand brother points today. But don’t get too comfortable—you’re not moving in here.”

"I promise. But you have to stay with me, okay? You have to fight." "Trying." "Try harder." Through our joined hands, I could feel his life force flickering like a candle in the wind. Whatever connection we shared, I used it to anchor him. To keep him tethered to this world when his body wanted to give up. The compound came into view just as Axel went completely limp in Jordan's arms. "He's unconscious," Jordan said, fear creeping into his voice. "Get him inside," Eden ordered. "Now." As we rushed through the compound doors, one thought kept echoing in my mind.

This is only the beginning. We made our way out of the cavern hours later, the earth still trembling faintly underfoot. The Ember Plains had quieted, the flames softer now, almost peaceful. When we reached the surface, dawn was breaking. The sky was painted gold and crimson, like fire reborn into light. Edward stood beside me, silent for a long moment. “You did it.” “Did I?” I murmured. “Or did something else do it through me?” He turned toward me, his eyes fierce. “Does it matter? You saved us. That’s what counts.”

There was only relief. “She’s alive,” Jordan said, his voice rough. “She’s alive.” Liam fell to his knees beside them, taking Kayla’s hand in his. Tears streamed down his face as he felt her faint pulse, as he realized that she was still with him. “Thank you,” he said, his voice breaking. “Thank you, Jordan. Thank you for saving her.” Jordan nodded, standing up slowly. “I’m not doing it for you,” he said, though his voice was softer than before. “I’m doing it for her. She doesn’t deserve to die because of your mistakes.”

Behind me, Caleb stills. I will do anything. Caleb begged me the same yesterday when he asked me for a chance. “You have a pup to think of. I, Rain Stillwater, accept your rejection, Jordan Reed. I also reject you and renounce being the future Luna of Crescent Moon Pack and the Guardian of the Portal to the Diamond Realm.” I expect to feel pain, but there is none. If anything, I feel… free. Jordan is gripping his shirt hard. For a short while, he made me happy.

"Ralph, Jordan's father sacrificed himself for Woodville" "Why? To kill dad?" "To kill Leviathan," Terra replied. "He had three lifetimes? I also have three?" Willow sat at the edge of her seat. "I don't know. But what I do know is that only one person can actually end you for good and that is Jordan because he is also a rare breed" Terra answered. "And that means two lives would be gone. There won't be any need for that" She shook her head. "But if there's any need, he will without hesitation. The same way he can end you, he can also give you life" Terra added.

It would have torn my heart from my chest and left me bleeding on the ground, gasping for breath beneath the weight of betrayal. Now? I feel nothing... No pain. No grief. Only cold, razor-sharp need for revenge. They pull apart the moment they sense me, just as the others burst out behind me, just as hybrids flood the clearing from every direction. Everyone drops into a fighting stance and the fight begins. Kaden turns toward me slowly, a predator savoring the moment. “I gave you a chance,” he says calmly. “And once again, you refused it, so now it’s time for you to die.”

I decided to send Lilly a message in hopes it would smooth things over. Lilly, I wanted to apologize for being so short with you. When Armond showed up I was so mad and I tried to take it out on you. Please forgive me and have dinner with me when we land in L.A. L.M. I wasn’t sure if I would even receive a response but I could always hope. I ended up falling asleep and dreamed of fiery green eyes all night.
