All Chapters of Their Untouchable Little Mate : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

CORA I sat on the edge of my bed with the books Liam had left spread out around me. The leather covers were cool under my palms, and as I skimmed through the pages, a heavy sense of deja vu settled in my chest. It was a strange feeling, like walking through a house in the dark and knowing exactly where the furniture was placed even if I couldn't see it. I ran my fingers over the printed words and wondered if I had really lost my memory or if my mind was just playing a cruel game. I didn't know if I could trust Liam, especially after seeing him in that hallway with the blood on his hands, but the way he had looked at me earlier was hard to forget. He had looked so frustrated and concerned, and it was obvious he was desperate to get something back. I decided to do exactly what he asked. If these books were the key to whatever life I had before, I needed to see for myself. I picked up the volume about ancient curses and started reading. The revelations inside were shocking, and I fou

CORARonan kept talking, his voice leaning into that sharp, mocking edge that made my skin crawl. He was leaning over me, his eyes searching mine for any sign of a reaction to the things he was saying about his bedroom and the forest. It was getting toxic, the way he seemed to enjoy my confusion and the fear that I couldn’t quite hide. I opened my mouth to tell him to get out, but a shadow fell over the doorway before I could speak.Liam was standing there, his face set in a hard line. "That's enough, Ronan," he said, his voice dropping into a low warning. "She needs to rest, not listen to your games."Ronan straightened up slowly, not looking the least bit bothered. He turned to face his brother, a bored expression crossing his face. "I wasn't playing games, Liam. I was just catching her up on what she’s missed." He walked toward the door, stopping just in front of Liam. "By the way, I went for a reconnaissance run in the forest earlier. I followed some tracks, and I’m fairly certai

RONANI walked out of Liam’s office and headed straight for my chamber, my jaw tight as I thought about how he’d looked at Cora. It was pathetic, really, seeing a powerful Alpha like my brother turning into a soft, protective fool for a girl who was supposed to be nothing more than a tool for our survival. His sudden affection was a problem, a massive, irritating obstacle that was going to get in my way if I didn't move fast.The moment I shut my door and stepped into the dim light of my room, the air turned cold. I didn't need to look at the mirror to know he was there, but the runic signs etched into the glass began to glow with that sickly, pale light."You’re late, Ronan," the voice hissed from the glass, sounding like dry leaves skittering over a grave. "Why haven't you brought her? You promised me the girl, yet here you are, empty-handed and smelling of failure.""I haven't failed," I snapped, pacing the length of the rug. "Liam is making things difficult. He’s obsessed with her

LIAM I stood in the center of Ronan’s chamber, my eyes scanning every inch of the floor and the furniture, but I found absolutely nothing. No notes, no strange artifacts, not even a scrap of cloth out of place. It was too clean, and that alone made my skin itch with a frustration I couldn't quite name. My brother was many things, but "neat" had never been one of them unless he was hiding something he didn’t want me to see.I eventually gave up and walked back to my office, slamming the door and burying my face in my hands. The silence of the fortress usually calmed me, but today it felt like a weight pressing against my chest. A few hours passed in a blur of paperwork and half-formed plans before one of the servants knocked to tell me dinner was ready.I walked over to the window and looked out at the sky. The sun was dipping below the horizon, and the moon was already visible behind it, pale and waiting. The air shifted suddenly, and I froze. A slight whiff of blood hit my nose, ca

CORAThe light was hitting my face when I finally opened my eyes, and I could see the morning sun leaking through the gaps in the window. I sat up abruptly, my head throbbing with a dull, heavy ache that made the room tilt for a second. I couldn't believe I had slept that long, and I tried to remember the dinner from yesterday, but it felt like a blur. One minute I was arguing with the brothers just after sunset, and the next, I was waking up to a room full of bright daylight.I went to swing my legs over the side of the bed, but I stopped dead. The air hit my skin and felt far too cold. I looked down, realizing with a jolt that I didn't have a single stitch of clothing on under the heavy wool blanket. I froze, my heart starting to hammer against my ribs as I looked around the room, trying to figure out how I’d ended up like this.The door suddenly creaked open, and Liam’s head popped inside. I let out a small gasp and hurriedly pulled the covers up to my chin, tucking them tight arou
