All Chapters of His Alpha Brother Is My Bedfellow : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

OLIVIA When you have a week left, time changes. It stops being something that stretches ahead of you, full of worries and plans. It becomes a small, precious handful of coins. You can’t waste them. You have to spend each one carefully, on something that feels real.Since I found out the truth—that Lucas’s “salvation” had turned my month into a single, cruel week—I had given up. Not on living, but on fighting the dying. I decided to cherish the little time I had left. I wrote a to-do list in my diary. A small, simple list of things I wanted to feel, see, or do one more time.The first day, I went on a solo date to the cinema alone. I sat in the dark and watched a silly comedy. I ate buttery popcorn and let the loud sounds and bright colors wash over me. I didn’t think about curses or Alphas. I just watched people on a screen pretend to have problems that could be solved in two hours.The second day, I asked to ride a horse. Lucas, trying desperately to make up for his disaster, had ag

KILLIAN Blade ran.He ran like the forest was on fire behind us. He ran until his muscles burned and his lungs screamed for air. He ran over hills, through icy rivers that shocked our system, across meadows where startled animals scattered. The map was a scent in our nose, a picture burned into my mind. North. To the mountains.The sun climbed high, then began to fall. The land grew steep and rocky. The air turned thin and cold. We were in the foothills of the Seven Mountains, and the real climb began.Blade didn’t slow. The curse that usually made him wild and reckless now gave him a terrifying, endless stamina. Pain was nothing. Exhaustion was nothing. Only the peak of the seventh mountain mattered.We climbed through the night. The moon was our only light, glinting off sharp rocks. We scrambled up cliffs I would never have attempted as a man. We jumped over cracks in the earth that seemed to go down forever. Blade’s focus was absolute. My human mind was just along for the ride, ho

KILLIANI sniffed, wiping my face roughly with my shoulder, not caring about the tears or the snot or the shame. I looked down at her, at Olivia’s peaceful, pale face. A fresh wave of pain hit me, but I quickly pushed it away. “Let’s go home, baby girl,” ” I whispered, my voice cracking. I adjusted my grip, cradling her head closer. My heart was a shattered thing in my chest, but a strange, numb calm had settled over me. At least I could take her away from this place. At least I could give her peace. “I will take you home.”I stood, cradling her light, still body in my arms, and turned away from the mansion, from Lucas, from the staring, pitying faces. I would bury her where the pines were tall and the air was clean. I would howl my grief to the moon until my voice broke.I took one step. Then another.And then, I felt it.A faint, almost impossible stirring. A tiny shift of weight against my chest.I stopped dead, my whole body going rigid.I looked down.Her eyelashes fluttered. Ju

OLIVIA I woke up, and for the first time in my entire life, I didn't just open my eyes. I sprang awake. Energy fizzed in my veins, warm and bright. My body felt light, strong, like I could run for miles. No heaviness. No dull ache. Just… life.I blinked, the soft morning light filling the opulent bedroom. And there he was, leaning over me, his face the first thing I saw.Killian leaned over me, propped on one elbow. He looked a mess—his dark hair was rumpled, shadows under his eyes spoke of nights spent watching me sleep, and he hadn’t shaved. But to me, he was the most handsome, wonderful sight in the world.He was smiling softly, his stormy eyes warm. He leaned in, his lips heading for mine.Instinctively, my hand came up, pressing gently against his chest. He stopped, a frown creasing his brow.“Why?” he asked, his voice still rough with sleep.Heat flooded my cheeks. “Morning breath,” I mumbled, embarrassed. “I probably smell terrible.”He stared at me for a second, then a slow,

OLIVIA Ever since Eric’s car had disappeared down the drive, a cold knot had settled in my stomach. It wasn’t fear like before. It was a furious, frustrated dread. I’d finally broken free, I had my life, my wolf, my love… and he was trying to drag me back with a legal loophole. A stupid, ancient rule about a bond I never wanted.*Don’t let him get in your head, * Zoey grumbled, but even she sounded uneasy. *He’s a worm. A legalistic worm.* *He’s a worm who might cause a war, * I thought back, my stomach tight.Madison and Caleb stayed with us for a while in the tense silence of the foyer. Madison broke the quiet first, her anger returning in a hot rush. “That slimy, cheating, weasel-faced, son of a—” She let out a frustrated scream. “I can’t believe he pulled that card!”Caleb put a calming hand on her shoulder, but his face was serious. “He’s not wrong, technically. The bond isn’t fully dissolved until both parties formally sever it in front of witnesses. It’s an old, dusty law, bu
