Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine Chapter 71: Rest Easy
ARDENThe scent of the trees refreshed my senses as we made our way back to the campsite. I kept my eyes fixed on the towering trunks, but my thoughts drifted far from the serene scenery. What we had witnessed in that cabin would linger in my mind for a long time. Cade and I made sure to place everything back in its proper order—not a single item remained in sight, except for the necklace I had retrieved from the remains. We hoped this would ensure that no one discovered we had stumbled upon the secret hideout. “What happens now?” I asked quietly, breaking the heavy silence that enveloped us. My voice felt small and delicate in the stillness of the forest. “Do you think this has something to do with the videos?”Cade’s jaw clenched as he stared straight ahead. “It has to,” he finally replied. “Those videos exist for a reason. Winters probably sent us here to keep us out of the way, to make it seem like a favor or a break.” “But really, it was a cover-up,” I said, finishing his tho
Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine Chapter 70: Under the Cabin
ARDENEverything felt too good to be true. And maybe it was. Still, I wanted to hold onto it—just a little longer.When I opened my eyes, I found myself curled up against Cade’s chest, my cheek pressed to the steady rise and fall of his breathing. His arms were still wrapped around me, even in sleep. He looked so peaceful like this, his brows relaxed, lips slightly parted. He hadn’t experienced a nightmare this time. A small smile flickered across my lips as I watched him. Was it selfish to hope this moment meant something? Whoever this “Honey” girl was—the one whose name had haunted his dreams—was it too much to believe he could forget her in my presence?Something twisted in my chest. Maybe I didn’t want to know the answer.I stayed there for a while, letting my fingers lightly brush the ridge of muscle on his arm, trailing softly, lazily over his skin. It felt dangerous, allowing myself to feel this much, but I couldn’t help it.Then, slowly, his eyes fluttered open. When they fin

ARDENHis words still echoed in the small room.“You’re way too beautiful right now to resist.”I didn’t even have time to respond.My fingers bunched in his towel, holding onto him. “Cade,” I muttered against his lips, pulling back just slightly. “There are no cameras.” “It’s not for points,” he murmured between kisses, his forehead resting against mine. Something inside me cracked open, and I pressed my lips back to his like I’d been waiting all this time. My arms wrapped around his neck, his wrapped around my waist. His hands were rough, but gentle. In a stranger’s house, with a guy I was sure I couldn’t stand when we first met; now, here I was—holding onto him like he was the only warmth left in the world.I knew it didn’t make sense.I shouldn’t be doing this.But I couldn’t help it.Not when he looked at me like I mattered. Not when he’d jumped into freezing water and carried me out without hesitation. Not when he whispered “I’m here” like it was a promise he’d always keep.
Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine Chapter 68: Too Beautiful
ARDENThe water didn’t feel so cold anymore. I was floating on it like it weren’t the very thing I had once feared most. I didn’t even realize how far I had come until Cade let out a soft chuckle behind me. “What?” I asked, turning my head over my shoulder to look at him. “You’re doing it.” “Doing what?” “Swimming.” I paused mid-paddle; the motion felt so natural now that it didn’t even register in my senses. I had pushed through the lake without clinging to him, without hyperventilating or freezing up. The fear that had once paralyzed me was... gone. Or, maybe not entirely erased—but drowned out by something undeniably stronger. By him. I turned around, floating gently toward him. The moonlight caught the angles of his face, casting shadows across his cheekbones and highlighting the water that dripped from his jaw. “I guess I am,” I whispered. A small smile appeared on his lips. “I told you I wouldn’t let you drown.” That warm flutter returned to my chest, filling me with a
Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine Chapter 67: I'll Be There
ARDENI blinked my eyes open. Pain immediately flared across my shoulder blades and thighs. My arms felt as though I had used them to wrestle the ground itself. I tasted dirt. My head throbbed, and my lips were dry. It was so, so dark.I groaned, pushing myself up from the forest floor, my body screaming in protest. I’d definitely rolled down the cliff—probably hitting every root, rock, and regret along the way. But I was alive.Thank the Goddess for my wolf genes—because without them, I probably would’ve cracked my skull open and been left for dead. I blinked again, slowly adjusting to the lack of light. Another benefit of being a shifter was my night vision. Well, sort of. It wasn’t perfect, but it still allowed me to make out faint shapes and silhouettes around me. What the hell was this place?I looked up, but the cliff edge was nowhere in sight. I must have tumbled really far. My hand instinctively moved to my ribs, wincing at the sharp jab of pain that shot through me. Yeah. D
Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine Chapter 66: Gone Again
TESSAI didn’t know how long I had been there. The lake lay still before me, dark as a sheet of glass, reflecting the rising moon and the gold-streaked sky above it before the last traces of light completely vanished. My eyes were puffy—perhaps even a shade of red. I had cried for far too long, and here I was, reduced to this state. A small chuckle escaped my lips as I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the darkening waters. My eyes looked like they had been devoured by a hundred cockroaches. However, that fleeting amusement faded quickly when I remembered the situation I was in.If I told Arden about all this, maybe I wouldn’t feel so impossibly lonely. Maybe she’d say something that would make everything feel normal again. She was the only one who could do that, the one who wouldn’t look at me with either pity or confusion.Nobody knew what had really happened—not even Rowan. Only my older sister was aware of the details, and even then, it wasn’t the whole story. I stayed beside
