My Alpha's First Love Returned: A Tale of Redemption のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

POV Thone As I watched her walk away, my heart aching, I had a sinking feeling that she might not ever believe me. I understood her doubts, her confusion. After all, I had lied to her before. But this time, it was different. This time, I had never wanted anything more than for her to know the truth. I followed her at a distance, not wanting to crowd her but also needing to make sure she was safe. She stopped at the edge of the forest, looking out over the snow-covered landscape, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Seeing her like this tore at my heartstrings, and I couldn't help but feel guilty for everything she had been through. The sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, but it didn't seem to lift the darkness that had settled over us both. I wanted nothing more than to go to her, to hold her and tell her that everything would be okay, that I would never hurt her again. But I knew she needed time. Time to heal, time to come to terms with everything

POV Thorne I woke up and my head hurt from being in an uncomfortable position all night. The sound wood still held the scent of last night's fire, and it was easy to forget where I was. The weight of my actions and confessions hung heavy on my chest as I forced myself up on the sofa where we fell asleep. Azalea looked so peaceful as she slept with her hair spread out around her. I ached to touch her, to feel her warmth against my skin. Slowly, I picked her up in my arms and carried her with me to the bedroom. I gently placed her on the bed, making sure she was comfortable. I climbed in bed next to her and cradled her in my arms, breathing in her sweet, familiar scent.As the sun began to rise, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of hope and fear. Hope that Azalea would one day forgive me, and fear that she never could. I knew I had to give her time, and I promised myself that I would respect her decision, no matter how difficult it might be for me. "I promise you, Azalea, I will become

POV Thorne She said no. It tore through my heart like a knife. It was like she didn't even know me, didn't understand the depth of my feelings, the way I'd changed. I had to keep trying. I couldn't give up on us. Not yet. As we traveled back to the Crescent Moon pack I felt like a weight was pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. Every time I looked over at her, I could see the doubt in her eyes, and it killed me a little more inside. Fuck, it hurt so much. Would she ever trust me again? I looked up at the sky wondering if the Moon Goddess was watching the events unfold. Did she make a mistake? Was this some sort of test of the fates?I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to push her, but I needed her to know how I felt. So, I tried a different approach. I'd be there for her, supporting her however she needed me. And maybe, just maybe, if she saw how much I cared, how much I wanted this, she'd eventually give in. But deep down, I knew that it was a long sh

POV Thorne As I stood in the shower, my scrapes and bruises from my fight with Axel and Noah stinging under the hot water, I replayed the words spoken in a fit oh rage. "Too bad they didn't kill you, you're going to ruin everything." What did it mean? Who was he talking about? He did say THEY didn't he? "This isn't over, Thorne. I will be back and I will take everything of importance to you...you crossed the line now, Thorne. Be prepared for blood." The words circled in my mind over and over. It was clear that there was a deeper meaning to them. I finished showering and dried off, putting on a pair of sweatpants and a loose shirt before padding down the hall to the kitchen. As I sat at the table my phone pinged and I looked down at the number. It was an unfamiliar one. Curiosity getting the better of me, I opened the text and my heart stopped. On my screen was picture of Axel. Fucking Axel Rivers was in Azalea's house with his arms around her waist with a caption that read: You may

POV Axel "Stop it!" Azalea screamed as Thorne lunged at me. Foolish woman had placed herself right between two irate werewolves. I tried to move her out of harm's way but I wasn't able to stop the train wreck that already began to derail.Thorne and I tangled on the ground, tearing at each other with fangs and claws, growling and snarling like the beasts we were. We fought for dominance and for possession of the one we both wanted. I could feel my strength wavering, my injuries from the night before hampering my movements. But I wasn't about to let that stop me. I would fight until the very end, until one of us was dead. "Ple-ease stop." Azalea's sweet voice played through the bedroom. I wiped the blood from my brow as I turned my head to glare at her. She stood in the doorway, her hands on her hips, tears streaming down her face. "You're both acting like animals. Can't you just talk this out like civilized people?" This was the way I talked. I did this and fucking and since the la
