All Chapters of Their Untouchable Little Mate : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CORAI was leaning against my balcony, gripping the stone railing as I watched the warriors below.. From this height, I could see them forming their lines at the entrance, their armor glinting in the torchlight. They were already planning to ambush the shadow wraiths.My stomach coiled tight with dread but I forced myself to define it as excitement. This was what I'd asked for, a chance to prove I was more than just a liability. I kept my eyes on the yard, waiting for Ronan to appear and signal me but minutes crawled by with agonizing slowness.The sound of a piercing scream broke the air and I knew they were sacrificing a prisoner. My balcony didn't give me a direct view of the fortress entrance, but the sounds were agonizing enough. My hands tightened on the railing until my knuckles went white.But the screaming dulled to silence and I held my breath as everyone waited. Seconds stretched into minutes but nothing happened.There were no shadow wraiths even their shrieks splitti

RONANMy jaw was clenched tight as I walked through the corridor. For some reason, the anger in my chest was only getting worse. I was mainly upset that the shadow wraiths had managed to blindside us. It was laughable to think that we were preparing for mindless creatures and not whatever we encounted two days ago. Three of my warriors were seriously injured, and we had barely managed to save Cora before that thing dragged her away to gods-knew-where.And my brothers grated on my nerves the most, insisting that someone was controlling the wraiths as if that were even possible. "Ronan." Liam's voice cut through my thoughts. He stood at the entrance to one of the smaller offices and he waved me over. "We need to talk now."I sighed and walked to him. “What is it?” I asked as I drew closer and he shook his head. “You’ll soon find out.” I scowled at him for that response but we were already walking into the office. Cade was already waiting by the window, his back was to us, and I clo

Chapter 45CORAI never knew it was possible to be sad and still find pleasure in it until today. The combination made my stomach turn and I wondered if the influence of the palace was finally making me go crazy. I sat up in bed, and crawled to the balcony, still feeling that feeling pressing in my chest. My eyes fluttered shut and I drew in a deep breath, just as the mate bond in my chest tugged then twisted. My eyes snapped open and I pressed a hand to my heart which was now racing fast for no reason at all. It was then that it hit me. This emotion wasn’t mine but rather one of the brothers. The sorrow and the twisted satisfaction was bleeding through our connection. But which one?The sun was just beginning to rise, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold yet it was stark contrast to the turmoil twisting in my chest.I still couldn’t forget the story of the three ruthless Alpha brothers who had been through horrors I could barely imagine. Their father had been a monster a

LIAMA yawn slipped out of my mouth for the umpteenth time and I used the back of my hand to trap the sound. My eyes fell on the report again, I had read through them three times now, searching for anything that might give us an advantage.But there was absolutely nothing. No relation to the shadow wraiths or the rouge attacks. I pushed back from the desk with enough force that the chair scraped loudly against stone. “Fuck.” I muttered, running my fingers through my hair. It was almost like we were blind, fumbling in the dark while an enemy we couldn't identify picked away at our defenses.Perhaps it was time to reach out to the other packs and ask if they were also experiencing shadow wraith attacks. The idea grated against my pride but there was no other option at this point.But the question tugging at my brains was why the wraiths werw targeting us specifically? And why did they want Cora?I drummed my fingers against the desk, turning the problem over in my mind. She was just

CORAI was still in front of the canvas, determined to complete the painting. My fingers were cramping around the brush and I was smudged with paint all over my body but I couldn't stop. I was so absorbed that I didn't notice the maid entering until she spoke."My lady, dinner is being served.""I'm not hungry," I said without looking up, adding another stroke to the sky I was attempting. "But my lady.""I said I'm not hungry." I snapped, my shaky fingers moving blobs of blue against the canvas. There were piles of discarded canvas on the floor from my previous drawings but I paid them no attention, fixed on the artwork. I was already so close… so close to perfecting it when a hand closed around my wrist, firm enough to still my brush mid-stroke."You need to eat." Liam spoke from behind me but I didn’t turn to look at him. I tried to pull my hand free but his grip was too tight. "I'm in the middle of something.""You've been in the middle of it for six hours.” Liam growler maki
