All Chapters of Their Untouchable Little Mate : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CORARonan and I returned to the hall separately, entering through different doors to avoid drawing more attention than necessary. But my heart was still racing from our kiss and from the fear of what those two young people might say about what they had witnessed.I scanned the crowd, searching for Cade's familiar face, but also watching for the teens. I needed to find them first, before Ronan did.He had dismissed them so casually as "children of entitled nobodies," which in his world seemed to be justification enough to eliminate any potential problem they posed.Gods, when had I started thinking of murder as something that just... happened? My eyes landed on Marissa instead, standing with a small group of well-dressed wolves near the refreshment tables. She was laughing at something one of them said.I moved toward her, ignoring the curious glances that followed me and when I was close enough, I called her name.She saw me but she immediately turned away, continuing to talk to th

CORAThe 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

CORA"Lord Ronan!" My voice echoed across the valley, swallowed by darkness and the rustling of trees. "Ronan, where are you?"The guards spread out around me, calling into the night, their torches creating pools of flickering light that only made the shadows beyond seem darker. I sat in the carriage,they'd insisted I couldn't search on foot, not in my nightrobe, not in unfamiliar territory,but every second of sitting still felt like torture.The curse mark on my wrist burned.I'd barely noticed it before,the silver symbol that had appeared when the mate bonds formed, delicate as lace against my skin. But now it throbbed with heat, pulsing in time with my racing heart. The pain intensified with each passing minute, a physical manifestation of the curse's growing severity.Cade. Oh gods, Cade was suffering because Ronan had abandoned them."My lady, perhaps we should turn back," one of the guards suggested, his face drawn with concern. "Alert Alpha Killian, organize a larger search par

LIAMI woke up in the dark, not the kind that comes with sleep, but the kind that presses in and makes you aware of your own breathing, my arms were stretched above me, iron biting into my wrists, my feet locked down, my shoulders already aching from the position.The shackles burned.Not heat exactly, more like something eating into my skin slowly, steady, deliberate, and the scent hit me a second later, dry, sharp, powdery, the same thing they sprayed on me before everything went black, the same thing that made my wolf curl in on itself instead of tearing free.Interesting.Footsteps approached, calm, unhurried, and light flared to life in front of me, not bright enough to blind, just enough to show two figures standing a few steps away.Marissa Thorn smiled first.She looked comfortable, clean, dressed like she belonged here, not a hair out of place, her eyes sharp and pleased, like this was exactly where she wanted to be.Beside her stood a man I didn’t recognize at first, older t

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
