    About Author

    Henry

    Chapter 1

    グレース・ウィンザーは、浮気する男性は皆二台の携帯電話を持っているのだろうかと考えていた。彼女の夫、ヘンリー・モンタギューは彼女を裏切っていた。

    ヘンリーがシャワーを浴びている間、彼の愛人は自撮り写真とお礼のメッセージを送ってきた。

    「モンタギューさん、誕生日プレゼントありがとうございます。」

    その写真には、車椅子に座った若い少女が写っていた。年齢に似合わない派手な服を着ており、それが彼女を不自然に見せていた。

    グレースは常に誰かがヘンリーと関わっていると疑っていたが、このような少女だとは予想していなかった。心の痛みとともに、夫の趣味の悪さにも驚いた。

    彼女は背後でバスルームのドアが開く音を聞いた。しばらくして、ヘンリーが出てきた。まだ湿ったままで、白いバスローブを身にまとい、その姿は彫刻のような腹筋と引き締まった胸を強調し、セクシーで魅力的だった。

    「いつまで見ているつもりだ?」ヘンリーはグレースの手から携帯電話を取り、彼女をちらりと見て、着替え始めた。

    グレースに見つかっても、ヘンリーは恥ずかしさの兆候を見せなかった。グレースは、かつて有名なバイオリニストとして名を馳せたにもかかわらず、今や単なる家庭の囲われ者になってしまった自分に対する彼の自信が、経済力から来ていることを知っていた。

    グレースはヘンリーに写真について問いただすことはしなかった。彼の不貞を知っていても、そうすることができなかった。

    昨年、彼女の家族は困難な時期を迎えていた。彼女の兄は告発され投獄され、父親の突然の病気には月に10万ドル以上の治療費がかかった。グレースは自分がヘンリーの経済的支援を必要としていることに気づいた。

    そのお金がなければ、グレースは完全に破滅してしまうだろう。

    彼が出かけようとしているのを見て、彼女は急いで話しかけた。「ヘンリー、話があるの」

    ヘンリーはグレースを見て、おそらく先ほどのベッドでの彼女の従順な姿を思い出し、くすりと笑った。「またセックスがしたいのか?」

    彼はグレースのことを気にかけたことがなかった。彼らの結婚は単なる事故の結果だった。さらに、彼はその事故を極端に嫌っていた。

    ヘンリーは視線をそらし、ベッドサイドのテーブルからパテック・フィリップの時計を取り上げ、手首につけながら無関心に言った。「5分だけやる。運転手が下で待っている」

    グレースはヘンリーが愛人に会いに行くのだろうと推測し、目が暗くなった。「ヘンリー、仕事に戻りたいの」

    ヘンリーは時計のストラップを締め、グレースをしばらく見つめた。彼はポケットから小切手を取り出し、金額を書き込み、それを切り離して彼女に手渡した。「これで10万ドルだ。面倒なことはするな。仕事はお前に向いていない」

    そう言って、彼は出かけようとした。

    グレースは彼を追いかけ、姿勢を低くして言った。「苦労はいとわないわ!仕事がしたいの。バイオリンが弾けるわ」

    ヘンリーには聞く気がなかった。

    彼の心の中では、グレースは繊細なカナリアのようで、飼われることに慣れていて、外部の環境や苦労に適していないと思っていた。

    彼は時計をちらりと見た。「時間切れだ!」

    彼は二度と振り返ることなく出て行った。グレースは彼を止められず、ドアノブをつかむ彼に尋ねることしかできなかった。「土曜日は父の誕生日なの。時間ある?」

    ヘンリーは一瞬立ち止まり、言った。「わからない」

    そう言って、彼は振り返り、出て行った。

    数分後、メイドたちが階段を上がってきた。彼らはヘンリーとグレースの関係がぎくしゃくしていることを知っていたので、こう言った。「モンタギュー様はハーモニーシティで重要な用事があるそうです。また、会社からモンタギュー様の服が届きました。奥様、クリーニングに出しますか、それとも自分で洗濯とアイロンをかけますか?」

    ソファに座っていたグレースは、少し時間を取って気持ちを落ち着かせた。彼女は静かに言った。「私が手洗いします」

    ヘンリーはドライクリーニングの溶剤の匂いが好きではなかったので、スーツやコートを含む彼のすべての服は、ほとんど常にグレースによって手洗いされ、アイロンがけされていた。

    それに加えて、ヘンリーには他にも高い基準があった。彼は外食も好まず、寝室の散らかりも嫌っていた。そのため、グレースは料理を学び、整理整頓をし、花を生けることを覚え、徐々に完璧な主婦になっていった。

    グレースの生活はほぼ完全にヘンリーを中心に回っていたが、彼女は内心、彼が本当に彼女を愛していないことを知っていた。彼にとって、彼女は単なる玩具、彼のゲームの駒に過ぎなかった。

    グレースは小切手を見下ろした。どうやってこの小切手を現金化すればいいのだろう?彼女が家に帰るたびに、継母のクララ・スミスは彼女がヘンリーから少なすぎるお金しか受け取っていないと不満を言うのだった。

    「彼はモンタギュー製薬グループの社長で、数十億の価値がある。グレース、あなたは彼の妻よ。彼のものはあなたのものでもあるでしょう?あなたはお金を少なすぎるほどしか取っていない」とクララはいつも不満を言っていた。

    グレースは苦笑した。どうしてヘンリーのお金が彼女のものになるだろうか?

    ヘンリーは彼女を愛しておらず、しばしば冷たかった。彼らの結婚には感情的なつながりがなく、純粋に肉体的なものだった。彼は彼女に自分の子供を持つことさえ阻止し、親密になる前に避妊薬を飲むよう常に彼女に思い出させていた。

    そう、彼女は避妊薬を飲まなければならなかった。グレースはボトルに手を伸ばし、錠剤を一つ取り出し、無感情に飲み込んだ。

    薬を飲んだ後、彼女はそっと小さな引き出しを開けた。中には分厚い日記があり、18歳のグレースのヘンリーへの愛が詰まっていた。6年間の献身、彼女は6年もの間彼を愛し続けていた!グレースは突然目を閉じた。

    彼女はヘンリーが帰ってくるのを待たなかった。金曜の夜、ウィンザー家で大きな出来事があった。

    ウィンザー家の長男であるグレースの兄、オリバー・ウィンザーが、ウィンザーグループの財務事件で10年の刑を宣告される可能性があるというニュースが出た。10年は人を破壊しうる時間だった。

    その夜、ニュースを聞いて、グレースの父は脳卒中を起こし、入院した。彼の状態は危篤で、すぐに手術が必要だった。

    グレースはニュースを聞いて急いで駆けつけた。病院の廊下に立ち、彼女はヘンリーに何度も電話をかけ続けたが、何度試みても誰も出なかった。彼女があきらめようとしたとき、ヘンリーは彼女にメッセージを送った。

    Alpha Cole Redmen is the youngest of six born to Alpha Charles and Luna Sara Mae, leaders of the Red Fang pack. Born prematurely, Alpha Charles rejected him without hesitation as weak and undeserving of his very life. He is reminded daily of his father’s hatred for him paving the way for the rest of his family to become the same.
    By adulthood, his father’s hatred and abuse towards him has spilled over into the rest of the pack making him the scapegoat for those with the sadistic need to see him suffer. The rest are simply too afraid to even look his way leaving him little in the way of friends or family to turn to.
    Alpha Demetri Black is the leader of a sanctuary pack known as Crimson Dawn. It’s been years since a wolf has made their way to his pack via the warrior’s prospect program but that doesn’t mean he’s not looking for the tell tale signs of a wolf in need of help.
    Malnourished and injured upon his arrival, Cole’s anxious and overly submissive demeanor lands him in the very situation he’s desperate to avoid, in the attention of an unknown alpha.
    Yet somehow through the darkness of severe illness and injury he runs into the very person he’s been desperate to find since he turned eighteen, his Luna. His one way ticket out of the hell he’s been born into.
    Will Cole find the courage needed to leave his pack once and for all, to seek the love and acceptance he’s never had?

    He leaned down, taking my chin in his hand, forcing me to look up into his blood-red eyes. His fangs were showing, dripping with the blood of my boyfriend who lay on the ground, lifeless.

    "You are mine, Bast. You'd do well to remember that." He purred, as he licked the blood off his lips. "No other man make take your innocence, but me." he said, looking down at my nearly naked form, the lust in his eyes making me squirm.

    "Yes, Damien." I whispered in response, covering myself in the sheet, and looking over at the body of Jacob with a whimper.

    Strings of Fate

    Strings of Fate

    Completed · Kit Bryan
    I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters.
    Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.

    I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.

    I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.

    Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.

    “What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.

    “Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
