Introduction
私たちの関係は契約に過ぎなかった。彼の本当の愛する人が戻ってきたとき、もう私は必要とされなくなった。契約を破棄され、消えろと言われた。
五年という月日で、彼の凍てついた心も私に向けて溶けるのではないかと思っていた。なんて愚かだったのだろう。
荷物をまとめて、去ることにした。彼には告げずに......私には残り三ヶ月の命しかないということも。
午後七時、グリフォン騎士団長のプライベートジェットが空港に着陸した。沈みゆく太陽が鮮やかなオレンジと赤を月の明るい光に譲ろうとしている頃だった。
到着してわずか三十分後、彼は私をダウンタウンのペントハウスに呼び寄せるよう命じた。

Chapter 1
グリフォン・ナイトのプライベートジェットは午後7時に空港に着陸した。ちょうど太陽が沈み始める頃で、鮮やかなオレンジと赤が月の明るい光に譲りつつあった。到着から30分以内に、彼は私をダウンタウンのペントハウスに連れてくるよう要請した。
契約によれば、私は「内外ともに」徹底的に清潔にし、香水やメイクの痕跡を一切残してはならない。アルファである彼の感覚は、ほとんどの狼よりも鋭敏だった。私は彼の好みと要求を厳密に守り、新しく洗った絹のパジャマに着替えて、2階の寝室へ向かった。
グリフォンは革張りの肘掛け椅子に座り、リラックスした様子で片方の足首をもう一方の膝に乗せ、書類の束に目を通していた。私が部屋に入ると、彼は一瞥をくれてから、書類を隣のサイドテーブルに置いた。
「こっちに来い」と彼は命じた。彼の暗い瞳に狼の琥珀色が光り、二次的に私を見つめる視線が細くなった。背筋に冷たいものが走った。
彼の声はぶっきらぼうで無感情で、いつものように私の心に重くのしかかった。ただ一度でいいから、彼が私に話しかける時の声色に何かを感じたいと切望していた。しかし彼はいつも強力で謎めいたオーラを保ち、自分が何を考え、何を感じているのかを決して示さなかった。私は一瞬でも躊躇することを恐れ、少しでも遅れれば彼の怒りを買うのではないかと心配だった。
彼の威圧的な存在に対して頭を下げたまま、私の素足はふかふかのカーペットの上を静かに歩き、彼のところへ急いだ。
彼の側に着くと、すぐに彼は私を腕の中に引き寄せ、膝の上に乗せ、大きな手で私の顎を持ち上げた。
彼は頭を下げ、私の待ち望む唇を激しく、私が求めていた温もりのかけらもなく、キスした。彼の舌が私の口に入り込み、私の舌と絡み合い、欲望が体中を駆け巡り、下腹部に集まっていった。
グリフォンはパックや他のパックのエリートたちには高貴で抑制的に見えるかもしれないが、セックスに関してはそのようなものを見せることはなかった。彼は決して抑制されず、決して私に優しくなかった。甘い言葉も、優しいキスもなく。ただ飢えと欲望と性だけだった。
私に対して、彼はいつも獣だった。いつも粗野なアルファであり、決して他の人々が見るような冷静で落ち着いたリーダーではなかった。
彼はパックの仕事で3ヶ月間留守にしていた。今夜は簡単には私を解放してくれないだろう。
予想通り、彼はいつもより荒々しかった。まるで彼がいつものように大部分が狼であるというよりも、完全に野生の狼になったかのようだった。
グリフォンは私がもう疲れ果てるまで腰を動かし続け、その間中、彼の目には狼の輝きが宿り、顔は唸り声を上げるように歪んでいた。
目が覚めると、ベッドに一人だった。いつもの静けさの代わりに、バスルームから水の流れる音が聞こえた。
混乱して眉をひそめ、音のする方向を見ると、シャワーのガラスドアに映るグリフォンの背の高い筋肉質な姿が見えて驚いた。彼はいつも私たちの逢瀬の後すぐに立ち去るのだった。別れの挨拶もなく、私が目覚めるのを待つこともなく。
何時間もの愛の営みで疲れ果てた体で、私は苦労して起き上がり、静かに彼が出てくるのを待った。
数分後、水の音が止み、グリフォンが部屋に入ってきた。腰にタオルを巻いていた。
彼の黒髪の先から水滴が落ち、ブロンズ色の肌に落ち、引き締まった腹筋を伝って流れていった。彼の顔は彫刻のように整っており、鋭く際立った特徴を持ち、見事なほどハンサムだった。
彼のアーモンド形のヘーゼル色の目は冷淡で遠く、深く読み取れないものだった。
人間の姿でさえ、彼の暗い狼の側面が透けて見え、アルファを取り巻く謎をさらに深めていた。
他の誰に対しても、彼は魅力的でありながら距離を置き、友好的でありながら冷淡で手の届かない存在だった。一目見ただけで、彼が付き合いやすい男ではないが、完全に不可能というわけでもないということがわかった。
私にとって、彼は単に冷たく、厳しく、私の中にいる時でさえ手の届かない存在だった。
私が目を覚ましているのを見て、彼は冷たい視線を向け、「もう来る必要はない」と言った。私はまばたきし、体の周りの布団をきつく握りしめ、指の関節が白くなるほど、心臓に恐怖が走った。どういう意味だろう?
グリフォンは振り向き、サイドテーブルへ行き、昨夜見ていた書類を手に取った。それをシャッフルしてから、一枚を私の前のベッドに投げた。
「契約をキャンセルする。君はクビだ。」
顔から血の気が引き、心臓が一瞬止まるのを感じた。「クビ」であって「別れる」ではない?
私たちの関係がどのように始まったか、私が彼に対してどのような感情を抱くようになったかに関わらず、私はこの日が来ることを知っていた。
なぜなら実際には、私たちには「関係」などなかった。私たちは雇用主と従業員であり、私はグリフォンにとってただ一つの目的を果たすだけだった。それでも、彼の言葉は刺さった。
彼がこれほど唐突に終わらせるとは思っていなかった。もっと時間があると思っていた。確かに、彼の典型的な感情のない冷淡さは予想していたが、これはそれを超えていた。
5年間彼と一緒にいた後、彼は理由も説明もくれなかった。
彼は私がそれに値すると思っていなかったし、それを考えるのは痛かった。心の鋭い痛みを抑えながら、私はゆっくりとベッドの上の書類から目を上げ、グリフォンを見つめた。
彼の言葉に凍りついていた時間が経ち、彼は今や典型的な黒いスーツを完全に着ていた。
「でも...契約はあと6ヶ月で期限切れになります。もう少し待てませんか?」私の声は部分的に懇願するようなもので、震えないように必死だった。
医者は私にあと3ヶ月しか残されていないと言った。そして私が望む唯一のことは、人生の最後まで彼と一緒にいることだった。
グリフォンは黙ったまま、冷静さと無表情な表情で私を見つめていた。まるで飽きて遊べなくなったおもちゃを蹴飛ばすかのように。
彼の沈黙が私に必要な答えだった。彼の決断は最終的なものだった。
長い5年間の努力の末、私はグリフォンの凍った心を溶かすことに失敗した。幻想から目覚める時が来たのだ。
私は契約書を手に取り、偽りの笑顔を浮かべ、無関心を装おうとした。「そんなに真剣にならないで。冗談よ」そして、「これでおしまいで良かったわ。6ヶ月休めるなんて。なんて完璧なの!」と付け加えた。
グリフォンはシャツの袖を調整しながら一瞬立ち止まり、それから私を見上げた。
私の目に悲しみがないことを確認し、彼が見ることができる唯一の感情が興奮や安堵であることを確認するために、すべてを注ぎ込んだ。絶対に最後に感じることではなかった。
グリフォンは目を細め、眉をひそめた。「終わって嬉しいのか?」
私はうなずき、何の心配もないかのように片方の肩をすくめた。
「そうよ。私はもうあの契約に同意した頃の少女じゃない。結婚して子供を持つ時が来たの。いつまでもあなたの契約恋人でいられないでしょう?」
心の中で、私は自分を笑った。私が結婚したり子供を持ったりすることは不可能だったが、グリフォンにそれを知られることは決してないだろう。
私は尊厳と優雅さを持って去るつもりだった。
もう一度無理に笑顔を作り、「ということは、ここを出たら、ついに普通の彼氏を持てるということですか?」と尋ねた。
グリフォンの目には深く識別できない感情が満ちていた。
しばらく私を見つめた後、彼は腕時計を見て、去ろうとした。「好きにしろ」
彼が振り向いて歩き去る背中を見て、私の笑顔は消えた。
グリフォンは他人が彼のものに触れることを嫌っていた。彼の女性も含めて。彼の狼が表に出て、目が琥珀色に光り、爪が出てくるのだった。しかし今回は、何の反応もなかった。彼は本当に私に飽きたのだ。
