渡り雨
Chapter 1
わたくしが五歳の誕生日を迎えた日の記憶は、眩いほどに輝かしく、そして同じくらい、どうしようもなく昏い。
あの日の朝、父は直々に、わたくしの長い髪を梳かしてくれた。
王立魔法学院にその名を轟かせる偉大なる魔法師、ヘルス・オックスリ。そんな父の傍らで、母はただ優しく、美しいメロディーを口ずさんでいた。
「フィリア、今日は君にとって特別な日だ」
父はそう言うと、わたくしの手を取った。
「市場へ行って、とっておきの贈り物を一つ選んでやろう」
翠霞(すいか)の城下町で最も活気のある魔法市場は、あらゆる魔法の品が陽光を浴び、宝石のようにきらめいていた。
父は七つの味に変わる不思議な飴をわたくしに買ってくれ、やがて一軒の古びた魔法工房の前で足を止める。
「メロディにも贈り物を一つ選んでやってくれ」
父が悪戯っぽく囁いた。
「彼女は何を貰ったら喜ぶと思うかね?」
「お父様。本当の目的は、お母様への贈り物選びでしょう?」
わたくしがわざと頬を膨らませて小さな拳を振り上げると、父は声を上げて笑い、わたくしの鼻を優しくついた。
「嘘はついていないさ。君への贈り物はもう買っただろう? だがな、フィリア。君の母は、私の人生で最も大切な宝物なんだ。彼女がどれほどの痛みを乗り越えて、君という宝物を授けてくれたか……決して忘れるなよ」
父の言葉はいつでも、母への深い愛に満ちていた。
わたくしは、一輪の水晶の薔薇を指差した。工房の主人が音の魔法を宿して作り上げた精巧な芸術品だ。きっとお母様もお気に召すに違いない。父もそれが気に入った様子で、満足げに頷いて代金を支払った。
その帰り道、馬車に揺られながら、父が不意に尋ねた。
「フィリア。学院で、君の母について何か良くない噂を耳にしたことはあるか?」
わたくしは頷いた。
幼心にも、貴族の子弟たちが口にする『芸女』という言葉が、侮蔑の色を帯びていることは理解していたから。
父の眼差しが、深く、そして限りなく優しくなる。
「覚えておきなさい、フィリア。君の母は確かに花街の出身だ。だが、この世の誰よりも清らかな魂を持っている。彼女の魔法は、血筋だけの力に胡坐をかく貴族共には、到底理解できぬものなのだ」
その、時だった。
父の教え子の一人が、蒼白な顔で馬車の傍らに転移してきた。
「先生! 奥様が……メロディ様が何者かに襲われ、路上に……!」
父の顔から、瞬時に血の気が引いた。
彼は転移魔法を唱える余裕さえなく馬車から転がり落ちると、市場の方角へと猛然と走り出した。高価な魔法師のローブが泥に汚れ、行き交う人々に突き飛ばされても構わず、ただひたすらに。
翠霞城で最も尊いと言われた魔法師の威厳は、そこにはもうなかった。
わたくしたちが駆けつけた時、現場は黒山の人だかりだった。
父が、悲痛な叫びと共に障壁魔法を放つ。
「イースライール・アーカロン!」
青い光の壁が、野次馬たちを容赦なく弾き飛ばす。
「下がれ! 誰も近寄るな!」
父は血だまりの石畳に膝をつき、母をその腕に抱きかかえた。
わたくしには母の姿がよく見えなかった。
ただ、父が自らのローブで母の体を覆い隠し、静かに抱き上げて屋敷へと歩き出す、その広い背中だけが見えていた。
◇
それからの五日間、父は一睡もせず、食事も喉を通さず、まるで十年も歳を取ったかのように憔悴しきっていた。
彼は誰であろうと、母が眠る水晶の棺に近づくことを許さなかった。わたくしですら、例外ではなかった。
後に知ったことだが、母の亡骸には、王族の魔法による傷跡がはっきりと残されていたという。あの特殊な金色の稲妻模様は、王族の血を引く魔法師にしか扱えない、禁断の魔法の痕跡だった。
葬儀の日、エリノ姫が自ら弔問に訪れた。
純白の豪奢な礼服をまとい、胸元の王族の紋章が金色に輝いている。彼女は父の姿を認めると、その稀代の美貌を悲しげに曇らせ、いかにもか弱そうに振る舞った。
「オクスリー様、奥方様のこと、心よりお悔やみ申し上げますわ。もし王族の助けが必要でしたら、何なりと……」
「姫殿下のお心遣い、痛み入ります」
父は恭しく頭を下げたが、その声は恐ろしいほどに平坦だった。
「ですが、何一つ問題はございません」
その夜、父はわたくしのベッドの傍らに座った。指先に灯した青い魔法の炎が、そのやつれた顔を不気味に照らす。
「フィリア」
静かな、それでいて凍てつくような声で、父は尋ねた。
「エリノ姫の顔を、覚えたか?」
わたくしは、こくりと頷いた。
「よろしい」
父の声は、冬の氷のように冷たかった。
「あの女の魂を水晶に封じ、永遠の苦痛を与えてやる」
「お父様が手を下さなくても、大丈夫ですわ」
わたくしは、自分の声が幼さに似合わず、硬く響くのを感じた。
「わたくしも、その魔法を覚えて、お母様の仇を討ちますから」
◇
父が学院に復帰してしばらく経つと、その身から、時折エリノ姫が使う魔法香水の香りがするようになった。
半年後、姫が王族の子を懐妊したという報せが、王国中を駆け巡った。
ある夜、エリノ姫がわたくしたちの屋敷を密かに訪れた。
扉の隙間から、姫が父に泣きすがるのが見えた。
「わたくしは貴方のために、この身を削ってまで子を成そうとしているのに……! 王に、わたくしたちの婚姻をお認めいただくよう、どうして願い出てくださらないの?」
「その子を堕ろすなら、お前と未来を誓おう」
父は、冷ややかに言い放った。
父が姫に命じたのは、あまりにも残酷な嘘だった。お腹の子の父親は魔力を持たぬ従者だと偽り、その子を堕ろせ、と。王族の姫が魔力を持たぬ者と交わるなど、神への冒涜にも等しい。それは、姫の誇りを根底から踏み躙る、悪魔の囁きに他ならなかった。
五日後、王族の命令により、父とエリノ姫の婚姻が強制的に執り行われた。
醜聞を隠したい王族と、それを逆手に取った父の策略。世間は「穢された姫を押し付けられた」と父に同情したが、その噂を流したのが父自身だと知る者はいない。父には、魔法評議会の顧問という破格の地位まで与えられた。
婚姻の儀の日、屋敷の儀式場は姫を迎えるにはあまりに簡素で、侮辱的ですらあった。
姫が母のかつての婚礼衣装を着たいと申し出た時、父は凍てつくような声で言った。
「姫はご自分を、あの三文役者と同格だとお思いか?」
主導権を握ろうとしたエリノ姫の顔が、さっと土気色に変わる。
「わたくしは王族の血筋! あのような身分の低い女と、一緒にしないで!」
その瞬間、わたくしはすべてを悟った。
半年前、姫は衛兵に命じ、衆目の前で母の服を剥ぎ取ろうとしたのだ。母を辱め、心を折るために。
そして今日、彼女は、母の血で汚れたはずのそのドレスを、勝利の証として身に纏おうとしたのだ。
わたくしは、父の静かな横顔を見つめる。
彼の復讐は、まだ始まったばかりなのだ。
――ええ、わたくしの復讐も。
心の中で、冷たくそう呟いた。。

Hucow: Naughty Nectar Farms
Hey, my name's Alice, and my boyfriend's name is... Yeah, no, we're not doing that song and dance. Naw. Once upon a time, I was just another girl hoping for a simple life after high school. Now, I'm ensnared in the grotesque reality of Naughty Nectar Farms (NNF), not a farm but a prison where shadows don’t just whisper—they scream with the horrors of the night.
My stepfather, blinded by greed, sold my freedom and my innocence to this nightmare. Here, I am nothing more than livestock, subjected to the twisted whims of those who see women as commodities to be bred, milked, and broken. But while they may have trapped my body, they can't imprison my will.
Each day, I hear the hushed, sinister talks of breeding and milking disguised as agricultural innovation. I see the cruel fate of my fellow captives, poked, prodded, and dehumanized. Yet in this lab of horrors, where humanity is stripped away, I hold onto one truth—they think I am weak, demure, broken. They are mistaken.
I am guilty of many things, but submission is not one of them. Here in the depths of despair, my fury simmers. I am plotting, waiting. For though they have taken much, my resolve grows with each passing day. I will lead us out of this darkness, or die trying. This is no ordinary farm, and I am no ordinary woman.
The Son of Red Fang

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?
