The Fragments Of Our Marriage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Aurora’s Pov . A wave of nausea rolled over me as my mother’s words sank in. The very idea of bringing a child into this world, especially in a loveless marriage with someone like Zayn, was horrifying. I couldn’t imagine subjecting an innocent life to that kind of misery. “I’m glad I’m not pregnant,” I said, my voice coming out colder than I expected. “I wouldn’t want to bring a child into this mess, with a father who doesn’t even care.” I barely had time to process the hurt in my mother’s eyes before my father’s face turned beet red with fury. Before I could react, his hand shot up, ready to strike me. But something snapped inside me at that moment. Instead of bracing for the blow like I always had, I took a step back, feeling a surge of anger so powerful it almost knocked the wind out of me. “How dare you!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the room. The rage in it surprised even me. “How dare you blame me for everything that went wrong! You never cared if I was happy in that m

As Zayn stepped into his house , the familiar scent of polished wood and old money greeted him. He had been restless all day, the encounter with Aurora still lingering in his mind, though he’d never admit to anyone how much it actually bothered him. He was Zayn, the Alpha, the one who called the shots. But somehow, the thought of Aurora’s defiance gnawed at him, no matter how hard he tried to shake it off.As he walked into the spacious living room, his younger sister, Isla, was waiting for him. She was perched on one of the plush couches, her brows furrowed with a mix of concern and curiosity. Isla had always been the more empathetic one between the two of them, and it didn’t surprise him to find her waiting.“Zayn,” Isla greeted him, her tone serious. “We need to talk.”He raised an eyebrow, shrugging off his leather jacket and tossing it onto a nearby chair. “About what?”She didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she handed him a piece of paper that had been sitting on the coffee ta

Aurora’s POV. I stepped out of the pack’s territory for the first time in what felt like forever. The crisp city air hit my face as I took a deep breath and made my way toward the train station. Today wasn’t going to be about Zayn, about wolves, or about anyone else except me. I wanted to focus on my studies—something that was mine alone, something that I could control.The train ride was longer than expected, and I found myself lost in thought the whole way. I replayed the events of the past few weeks in my mind—Zayn’s threats, the kidnapping, the chaos. I needed to escape that world, even if just for a few hours. Today, I was going to the city’s library, the largest one I’d ever heard of. I needed to clear my head and dive into my studies. Medicine had always been a passion of mine, even if most wolves didn’t see the point. I did.When I finally arrived at the city’s heart, the towering buildings felt suffocating yet exciting all at once. The city was loud, busy, and very different

**Chapter: A Dangerous Game**I took a deep breath as I walked up the familiar path to the pack house. The place always seemed smaller, more suffocating than I remembered. Maybe it was because I had tasted just a small glimpse of freedom outside of the pack, and now the walls seemed to close in on me. As soon as I stepped through the doors, I spotted one of Derek’s old friends lounging near the entrance. His name escaped me, but I knew he was always close to Derek before he left."Hey," I called out, trying to seem casual. He turned, surprised to see me. "Do you have a minute?"He nodded, though his expression was wary. “Yeah, what’s up?”I paused for a moment, considering how to phrase my question. “Why did Derek leave the pack? I know everyone says it’s because he went to study medicine, but I don’t believe that’s the whole story.”He scratched his chin, looking uncomfortable. “That’s what he told everyone. Derek’s always been focused on his future, you know? He wasn’t going to stic

Aurora’s POVThe moment I stepped through the front door, I knew something was off. The air in the house was heavy with tension, and my father was pacing in the living room. His eyes snapped to me the second I entered, burning with anger."Where have you been?" His voice was sharp, slicing through the silence like a blade.I hesitated, not wanting to explain the whole ordeal with Zayn. But before I could open my mouth, my father stormed toward me."You went to the palace, didn’t you?" he spat. "Do you realize what you've done? Zayn came here, demanding to know where you were. You’ve embarrassed this family enough!"I stood my ground, refusing to let him intimidate me. "Zayn rejected me, Father. Why should I be worried about what he wants? He has no say over me anymore."His face twisted with rage, and for a moment, I thought he might hit me. "You're bringing shame to this house, Aurora. You think you can just go against Zayn like that? Do you think he won’t retaliate?"I clenched my
