All Chapters of Their Untouchable Little Mate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

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 woke up and the first thing I saw was the ceiling. It was high and dark, and I didn't recognize the patterns in the wood. My head felt like someone had cracked it open and glued it back together with lead. I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy, almost like I was moving through water. That was when I saw Liam.He was standing by the window and was a silhouette against the grey morning light, he looked bigger than I remembered. Fear hit me in the gut before I could even draw a full breath. My heart started thumping against my ribs and I looked at the door, thinking of how to get out. I didn't know how I got here or why he was watching me.He must have heard my breathing change because he turned around. He didn't look angry, but his face was tight.“How are you feeling?” he asked.His voice was low and it made me jump. I pulled the blankets up to my chin and started shaking. I didn't want to answer him. I just wanted to go back to the slums, back to the dirt where it was safe.

CORAThe room exploded into a mess of noise and I didn't even wait for the man to touch me before I was screaming, my voice tearing through my throat as I kicked out at the chair. I scrambled backward, my heels skidding on the stone floor, and I didn't care who saw me acting like this. To me, that needle was a death sentence."Get away from me!" I shrieked, my eyes darting between the three brothers. "Don't let him touch me!"The man in the white coat didn't stop, he just looked at Liam for permission. I felt a pair of heavy hands drop onto my shoulders, pinning me against the seat. It was Liam. He leaned down, his chest pressing against my back as he tried to hold my flailing arms still."Cora, stop it," he grunted, his voice vibrating against my ear. "You're going to hurt yourself. Just sit still.""No! You're going to kill me," I sobbed, my body shaking so hard I thought my bones might snap. "Please, Liam, I’ll do anything. Don’t let him do this to me. I don't want to die."I was

CORAThe light hitting my face woke me up, and for a second, I forgot where I was until the pain in my shoulder reminded me. It was a deep, pulsing ache that matched the throb in my head. I groaned and tried to shift, but the movement made my vision swim. I looked at the bedside table and saw a small bowl filled with a dark, steaming liquid. The smell of herbs was strong, almost bitter, but I was desperate enough to try anything to stop the stabbing behind my eyes. I reached out and swallowed it down in a few gulps. It tasted like old leaves, but it felt warm in my stomach, and I settled back into the pillows to wait for it to work.That was when I really looked at the room.My walls weren't bare anymore. Someone had been in here while I was out and covered every inch of stone with paintings. I sat up slowly, my heart starting to thud against my ribs. There were dozens of them. Most were just boards with smudged paints and messy lines, looking more like mistakes than art. I felt a we

LIAMI didn't need to read every single word because I already knew the history they contained, so I just flipped through the chapters, looking for the parts Cora had bookmarked. My plan was simple enough. I was going to take these words, the ones she had been reading to herself for weeks, and repeat them to her. Maybe if she heard the same stories in the same order, something in her brain would finally click. It was a long shot, but it was better than standing around watching her look at me like I was a monster.I spent an hour going through the notes she’d left in the margins. It was strange seeing her handwriting, small, neat lines that asked questions about our bloodline and the nature of the curse. She had been working so hard to find a cure for us, and now she didn't even remember why she cared.When it was time to actually go to her room, I felt a knot of nerves in my stomach that I didn't want to admit was there. I’m the Alpha of the Blackwood pack, and I shouldn't be nervous
