CORA

The moment Cade's arms closed around me, lifting me in a bridal style. His bare chest was warm against my side, the thin fabric of my nightrobe doing nothing to shield me from the heat of his skin.

His muscles flexed as he adjusted his grip, holding me properly.

"Close your eyes," he instructed and I obeyed, pressing my face against his shoulder just as he launched upward.

The sensation of flying made my stomach drop even as my arms tightened around his neck and then we landed with barely a sound on solid stone.

"You can open them now."

The rooftop was stunning with flat stones arranged for sitting or lying down. The low walls provided safety from the edge without blocking the view and the view of Greenwood territory stretched below us, the castle lights twinkling like earthbound stars.

"This is beautiful," I breathed.

Cade set me down gently but remained standing, moving to the edge where he could survey the landscape. The moonlight highlighted the lines of his body and he loo

  • Their Untouchable Little Mate    Chapter 73

    LIAMThe argument was already ugly when the rogue leader stopped talking.One second he was shouting about payment, the next he went still, then he bowed, slow and deliberate, his head lowered toward us like the matter had suddenly resolved itself. It made no sense and it put me on edge immediately.Before I could demand an explanation, he straightened and turned his gaze to Ronan.“You allowed this,” the rogue said calmly, “you stood there and let your brother insult us.”I followed his look and felt my temper spike. Ronan’s expression was closed, unreadable, the same look he wore whenever he decided to hide something.“What are you doing,” I snapped, turning on him, “why are you siding with them.”“I’m not,” Ronan said, his tone sharp now, “I was trying to keep things from escalating.”“They were threatening us,” I shot back, “and you stood there like it was nothing.”Ronan stepped closer. “You don’t understand how these people work.”“No,” I said, “what I don’t understand is why yo

  • Their Untouchable Little Mate    Chapter 72

    Chapter 72CORAFor a long moment, nothing happened.The carriage stayed still, the air heavy, and my heart thudded so loudly I was sure Cade could hear it even in his state. I held my breath, waiting for shouting, for hands to tear the door open, for the worst thing I could imagine to finally happen.Then I leaned forward and looked out.The fortress stood in the distance.It wasn’t close enough to touch, but it was there, solid and real, its dark outline cutting through the trees. Relief rushed through me so fast my knees almost gave out.Liam’s voice carried from outside. “You can leave now.”I pushed the door open and climbed down before anyone could stop me. The ground felt unsteady under my feet, but I straightened and faced the rogues.“Thank you,” I said, forcing the words out clearly, “you helped us when we needed it.”The rogue leader tilted his head. “That help wasn’t free.”Liam stepped forward at once. “You were given an honor,” he said, his tone cold, “assisting Alphas i

    CORAI wiped Cade’s forehead with the wet linen and pressed it gently to his skin again, he was burning up, the heat seeping into my palms no matter how often I rinsed the cloth. His breathing stayed shallow but steady, and every rise of his chest eased something tight inside me.I smiled despite myself, thinking back to how he’d woken up on the road, or how we thought we’d woken him. I still didn’t know if it was the holding of hands or the things we said about him, or if his body had simply decided to fight its way back, but part of me wanted to believe the words mattered. I wanted to believe he heard us.Ronan sat across from me, close enough that our knees nearly touched, but he might as well have been somewhere else. He didn’t look at Cade, didn’t look at me, his attention fixed on the open side of the carriage, his shoulders tense like he was waiting for something to go wrong.The wheels creaked as we moved, the path uneven, the night thick around us.“Liam,” I called, leaning f

    CORACade still wasn’t breathing.I sat on the floor of the second carriage with his head in my lap, my hands pressed uselessly against his chest, waiting for movement that didn’t come. The carriage rattled as the horses pushed hard down the forest path, every jolt making his body shift slightly, every second stretching too long.Liam rode close, one hand gripping the side of the carriage, the other steadying Cade’s shoulder whenever the wheels hit uneven ground. Ronan rode ahead, silent, his posture stiff, eyes fixed forward like none of this concerned him.“He’ll breathe,” Liam said, his voice low but firm, “when the curse forces a shift like that, their hearts stop for a short time.”I shook my head. “This is longer.”Liam didn’t answer immediately.I looked up at him and saw it then, the tightness around his eyes, the way his jaw stayed locked even as he spoke, he was afraid too, he just wouldn’t say it.Ronan shifted in his seat, reins snapping lightly. “We’re wasting time,” he s

    CORAI came back to myself with pain first, sharp and everywhere at once, my head rang and my shoulder burned when I tried to move, the smell of splintered wood and blood filled my nose, and when I opened my eyes, all I saw was wreckage.The carriage lay on its side a few feet away, one wheel torn clean off, the roof crushed inward, the horses were gone, the road torn up like something heavy had dragged itself across it.“Cora,” Liam’s voice cut through the noise in my head.He was already beside me, kneeling, his hands careful as he checked my arms and legs. “Can you move.”“I think so,” I said, even though my vision swam when I tried to sit up.He helped me slowly, his jaw tight, his eyes scanning the trees every few seconds. My ankle screamed when I put weight on it, and I grabbed his arm to steady myself.“I’m fine,” I said quickly, even though it was a lie.A scream ripped through the air before he could argue.I turned toward the sound just as a massive wolf burst from the trees

    CORAThe bond pulled me down the west corridor, then deeper into the older part of the castle where fewer people passed through, it tightened the closer I got, steady and insistent, until it stopped me in front of a door guarded by a man I didn’t recognize.“You can’t go in there,” he said, stepping in front of me.“I need to,” I replied, keeping my voice even.He shook his head. “Private quarters.”Before I could argue, another guard appeared at the far end of the hall and called his name, urgently. The man hesitated, glanced back at me once, then turned and jogged away.I didn’t wait.I slipped inside and closed the door quietly behind me.The room looked like a guest chamber at first, neat, unused, a bed made too perfectly, a desk without dust, nothing personal, and then the bond tugged again, not forward but sideways.I followed it to the wall.One bookshelf sat slightly apart from the rest, the edge scraped, the floor beneath it marked from repeated movement. I pushed, and it shi
