Marked Against Her Will のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

He thought it was a good trait. She’ll be his Luna, so she must be tough. She should be able to confront anyone without fear. He likes how she’s able to directly stare at him. Very few people can. They would normally look away after a while. But then again, it must be because his expression was gentler than usual. It’s still a little intimidating but less scary than the first time she saw him. Polly was trying to make herself immune to his expression. If she stares at him long enough, she would get used to it, yes? Thankfully, his attractiveness seemingly overshadows his scary look. There’s something about his eyes . . . He raised an eyebrow, realizing she’s scrutinizing him. “Fine. A month is still long enough, though. It’s not as if you can’t return here. You can schedule regular visits, you know? It’s not like I’m going to lock you in a room in Blood Moon. You’re free to come here if you want to see your parents.” See? He’s not unreasonable. He can accommodate her needs. He’s no

Polly and her parents were puzzled by his absence. She felt a little worried. Where was he and what could he be doing? Her father didn’t hear any news about him. In the afternoon, her mother reluctantly left her to replenish their supplies. She became nervous, then, hoping he won’t show up when she’s alone in the house. She was relieved when her mother returned without incident. During dinner, they merely mentioned him in passing.The next day, he still didn’t show up. Jared thought a third day would most likely be necessary. He’s getting better at it. He smirked, thinking he could actually stay away from her this long. It’s an achievement on its own. Clyde visited him that night, hearing from his men that he hasn’t left the house.“What were you doing?”“Nothing. Just learning how to control my urges.” He was nonchalant about it, making the alpha frown.“Alright. After the trouble yo

“Look. Our break’s almost over. I have to go back.”He squinted at her without saying anything. She pursed her lips and began to stand.“I’ll be watching.” He declared and walked with her.“You don’t have to.” She would be conscious of his presence and might mess up.“I don’t have anything to do. Might as well volunteer to be included in your training program.”She doesn’t know what to say to that.Sab won’t show up until after lunch, so they continued with their exercises. Polly tried to ignore him but his presence is just . . . kind of overbearing. Hana showed her a grimace, which she returned.“I mean, I really want to challenge him. It would be good practice.” Leo repeated after a while, slowly exasperating her.Ren’s not sure if the guy would just treat it as practice, though. It would be bad if he goes all out.Gar

“Where do you eat lunch?”His sudden question jolted her and she looked like a scared rabbit. Jared pursed his lips. Alright, let’s not scare her.He didn’t step closer to her and instead took a step back. “Do you eat at the pack house?”“Oh, no. I brought lunch. My mom packs my meal.” Polly saw his unimpressed look and realized he might think she’s acting like a child needing her parent’s support. Well, that’s not entirely wrong.“Then, I’ll eat with my teammates.” She really couldn’t bring herself to be alone with him, but just as she was about to walk away, he grabbed her wrist.“Eat with me.” He demanded and she doesn’t know how to reject it. She did think that he doesn’t take rejections lightly.Still, she doesn’t want to go with him. For whatever reason, she suddenly felt fearless. She shook her head and tilted her ch

That night, Polly began to imagine what her life would be like when she goes to Blood Moon. Would she have friends? How would people there treat her? What will she be expected to do? Jared’s been here for a week already and they haven’t discussed such things. Her father’s right. He spent an awful amount of time fighting others than introducing his pack to her. He’s an unhelpful jerk. She wondered if anything would change now that her father called him out.Jared was feeling more annoyed than usual. The more time they spend here, who knows what his father would have done to the pack by the time he returns? The old man already said that he would take the reins back. His own plans would be ruined. What is he to do? He refuses to act weak and gullible. He won’t change his ways just because they asked him to, not even for his mate.He smirked, staring at the ceiling before getting up. He’s feeling angry and restless. He hoped there are st
