Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Rayne's POVFor some reason, seeing the email from the college felt surreal. It didn't actually sink in that I'd been accepted until I saw the mail, sitting pretty in my digital mailbox. I opened the letter and read it over and over again, and with each and every moment I did, my earlier inhibitions slipped away inch by inch. Eventually, I couldn't even remember why it was so important for me to not go.I placed a sleeping Kairen in her cot. The little thing looked perfectly content with her morning meal. With an enamored chuckle, I wiped off a string of milk off the corner of her pouty mouth. It startled me just how much like her father she looked, but her behavior was so similar to mine. With Roman, the case was reversed: he looked like me, but acted so much like his father, especially when it came to his joy at seemingly trivial things. He had reached that age where he liked to play around on his own, and only came to meet me when he lifted his head out of the haze of childish play

Rayne's POVThe time for registration started, and while the sun shone brightly in the sky, I set out to experience the new world of adult education. I dressed up in a simple pair of skinny jeans, a gray tank top—which I had specifically bought because it looked the exact shade of Kaiden's eyes—and a cropped denim jacket. The weather was exceptionally hot, and too many layers would have just made me all sweaty and sticky before I even reached my destination.I assessed the world with a gaze full of awe—or so I believed—and wonder. The city was a far cry from the quiet outskirts where Mysticrock Pack was located. Over there, you could walk for a long time in a forest with no house in sight because all members of a pack lived in just a single location, leaving the remaining landmass to grow and thrive undisturbed. Many preferred it that way because they felt closer to their roots in such a place, than in a crowded place like the city. It wasn't like I hadn't been there before, but as

Rayne's POVBack in my apartment, I took off my jacket and mentally noted the things I had to do before night fell. Although I had fully arranged my things, I still didn't have any groceries to help me prepare a proper meal. Kaiden would have helped me get them, but the thought of calling him because of that made me feel guilty. Besides, it had been a while since I stepped inside a store all on my own, so how could it hurt?Tired of my wild hair, I picked up a hairband off my bed and pulled up the thick locks into a single messy bun. The sweat building up around my neck became cold against my skin when finally exposed to fresh air. The tank top I wore had been coated in a fine layer of sweat, so I took it off. As I did that, something told me that it was better to just take off all my clothes and take a quick shower. I agreed, and slipped into the bathroom for a quick clean up.Done with that, I slipped into a set of fresh clothes. This time I picked a light shirt and some knee-high

Rayne's POVThe agonizingly slow class eventually came to an end. Throughout, I kept trying to avoid Jacob's eyes, but he didn't do so well in keeping the surprise off his face. More than once, he was caught lost in thought until a student called his attention.As I picked up my things and got ready to leave the hall, Celine stopped me. I had almost forgotten that she was even by my side. I still couldn't make sense of our rapid acquaintance, and as much as I appreciated her kindness, I didn't know if I had it in me to make new friends.As the thought of friends crossed my mind, I remembered Savannah and how nice she had been to me at first. With everything she put me through, it would have been foolish to simply trust anyone right off the bat, no matter how kind they seemed.“Where are you rushing off too?” asked Celine. Even then, she still had a small smile on her face. No one could keep their face in such a position for so long without having her cheeks hurt. “To my next lecture,

Rayne's POVThe day dissolved into the weekend, and I left the city to go to Mysticrock to see my family. Sal had been gracious enough to take up looking after Roman and Kairen. I had been planning on just simply hiring a nanny, but she had shot down the idea and volunteered to do it. Kairen was old enough to not need breastfeeding anymore, which made my choice to move even easier. But that day, I missed them all, and wanted to see their faces.The first person I saw at the pack house was none other than Sal, who carried Kairen inside a kangaroo baby holder in front of her chest. “Rayne!” She said my name enthusiastically. “How have you been? I was just about to call you.”I hugged her. “It was a really nice first week, but I needed to come home and recharge.” I stroked Kaiden's cheek, and immediately stretched her arms out to me, making cute garbling sounds.Sal unlatched her from the baby holder and carefully handed her over to me. “How long are you around for?”“Just the weekend
