CADE

I couldn’t shake the thoughts swirling in my mind about what Bethany had said.

She was Arden’s mother.

The images in my head refused to align, leaving me in a state of confusion. We were now in the car, heading South, and a nagging instinct told me that Arden wasn’t up North where we’d been searching. My parents had also alerted the guards to conduct a thorough search of our territory from top to bottom, but they hadn’t provided any updates since.

I stole glances at the woman sitting beside me. Her fragile frame was curled up in the passenger seat, a blanket draped across her lap. In the days since we last saw her, it was evident she had lost even more weight, deepening the lines of worry across her face.

“Is it bad?” I asked, my question directed at her condition as I sped through the stillness of the night.

She managed a weak chuckle, her gaze fixated on the scenery sliding past the window. “I’ve had worse,” she muttered. “Don’t think about me. Focus on Arden; that’s what mat

  • Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine   Chapter 121: Everything's Mine

    ARDEN I couldn’t fight him with Tessa on my back.Mr. Winters was older, stronger, and at the moment, more agile. And Tessa could barely hold her head up. I knew if I put her down, she wouldn’t be able to hold her ground either. She was in no condition to run. She might not even survive another hit of whatever he’d given her.So I did the one thing I could.“Hold tight,” I whispered.And then I shifted.The pain tore through me instantly, claws ripping from my fingers, bones snapping and rearranging, skin stretching into fur. My clothes shredded off my body, falling in useless ribbons into the grass. My muscles expanded, my senses sharpened, and a growl rose in my throat like a war cry. Tessa whimpered as her weight shifted against my new form, but she clung to me instinctively, her fingers tangled in the scruff of my neck.With that, I bolted into the trees, my paws pounding into the soil. The forest blurred past us in a rush of green and shadow, my ears twitching at every snapped t

    ARDEN Finally.The sound of the shower running through the walls was music to my ears. For once, I was grateful Mr. Winters was a narcissist who enjoyed long, indulgent showers with whatever weird soap he probably made himself. I didn’t waste a second.I turned to Tessa, who was still slouched against the corner, pale and barely conscious.“Stand up,” I said urgently. “We’re escaping.”She blinked at me sluggishly, her lips cracked, eyes sunken. She looked awful, and I hated seeing her like this. My voice softened. “Come on, Tess. You can do this.”She swallowed, groaning slightly as she pushed herself off the ground. Her knees wobbled, her frame trembling under the effort.“How?” she rasped.I didn’t answer. Instead, I moved quickly across the room, toward the back wall. Cade and I had found this hidden latch weeks ago when we were lost in this place. I remembered the exact spot now. My fingers worked fast, pulling the edge of the rug and pushing against the warped floorboard benea

    CADEI didn’t waste any time answering him right away. “Arden is missing,” I revealed. “I think she might be in the South.”There was a long pause on the other end of the line.Of course, I knew that Rowan had some kind of feelings for Arden in the past. I wasn’t too intimidated because I knew his feelings were shallow. Rowan truly never settled down. Arden must have shown him the kindness he was craving, so he caved in a little bit. Just then, Rowan scoffed. “Why should I? She’s your mate, isn’t she? Maybe she ran away from you out of fear.” I clicked my tongue and shook my head. “Winters is involved.” That shut him up.“I think this might be what we need to overturn him,” I added. “However, I’m afraid time is also our enemy. So, I need your help.” For a while, nothing but silence passed between us. I knew Rowan—better than I wanted to admit. He wasn’t a man who acted on impulse, no matter how hot-headed he appeared. He was always strategizing and weighing outcomes, like his n

  • Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine   Chapter 117: Urgency

    CADEMy eyes fluttered open for no reason. The first thing I noticed was the blanket covering my shoulders—tucked gently. I blinked up at the dim study light, still faintly glowing from the desk above me.Arden. My lips curled slightly at the thought. She must’ve seen me knocked out and covered me up. That was just like her. No matter how tired she was, she was always thinking of others.But if she put this on me, that meant she was awake.I sat up straighter, rubbing the back of my neck and yawning. I was still groggy, but the moment I turned to the doorway and saw it empty, that familiar tug started deep in my chest.“Arden?” I called out gently, still half-asleep.No response.My brow creased. I stood quickly, the chair scraping behind me. I walked toward the hallway, glancing left and right.Nothing.I picked up the pace, walking down to the far end where our room was. The lights were off, but I opened the door without knocking.“Arden?”Still nothing.The bed wasn’t made, which

    ARDEN“Seriously, why did you have to come here?”Tessa sighed by my side, leaning against the cold brick wall. If I told her that behind this wall were three skeleton bodies of young women like us, would she be freaked out? She definitely would.But she didn’t need another source of trauma. I glanced at her and found bruises on her neck, a cut on her brow, and red marks on her wrists and arms.“Are you alright?” I asked before anything else.“I’m fine,” she waved me off with the same sweet smile that always made me feel better. “You shouldn’t have come, though. I was planning on leaving some evidence that would lead to Mr. Winters once he kills me.”“Imagine—a mediocre female student dies in the hands of the esteemed headmaster. That would make a great headline.”“There are three lies in that statement,” I muttered. She turned to me and raised a brow.“First, you’re not mediocre. You’re genuinely one of the prettiest girls I’ve ever seen. Second, that wouldn’t make a great headline.
