All Chapters of RESISTING MY COCKY ALPHA STEPBROTHERS : Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Morgan's POVI found Ross collapsed on our bedroom floor for the third time that week and felt something inside me break."Ross." I dropped to my knees beside him. "Talk to me."His eyes opened slowly and they carried shadows I had never seen before. Seventy-five years together and I had never seen him look so defeated."I could not find anything." His voice was barely a whisper. "Another session and nothing. No solution. No miracle."Through the mate bond, I felt his desperation mixing with mine. The connection between us pulsed with shared agony."Help me get you to bed," I said gently.He leaned on me heavily while we moved. His body was deteriorating from constant Creation Realm exposure and there was nothing I could do to stop it.When I finally got him settled I lay beside him and let our bond wrap around us both. Comfort we could still give even when nothing else helped."I am her father," Ross said after a long silence. Tears streamed down his face. "I am supposed to protect h

Morgan's POVI listened to Ross explain the ancient presence's offer and felt my entire world crumble."Sever our mate bond?" The words came out strangled. "Lose seventy-five years of love and memories and everything we built together?""To save Skylar yes." Ross's voice was barely audible."No." I stood abruptly. "Absolutely not. We will find another way.""What if there is no other way Morgan? What if this is it? Our bond or Skylar's entire life?"The question hung between us while the mate bond pulsed with our shared agony."We do not even know if the offer is genuine," I argued. "The Primordials have their own agendas. This could be a trick.""Or it could be the only solution we have." Ross stood and came to me. "We are running out of time and options.""So we just give up? Throw away decades of love because some ancient being demands it?""I am not throwing anything away. I am making an impossible choice to save our daughter."His words cut deep because they were true. This was n

Skylar's POVI watched my parents' mate bond sever and it felt like witnessing a murder.The ancient presence completed the ritual in seconds. One moment my parents were wrapped in each other's arms crying and the next they were standing three feet apart looking confused."Who are you?" Dad asked Mom with genuine puzzlement in his voice.Mom stared at him. Recognition was completely gone from her eyes. "I do not know. Should I know you?"My heart shattered into a million pieces. "Mom! Dad! It's me, Skylar!"They both turned and something flickered in their expressions. Relief maybe. Like seeing something familiar in a world that suddenly made no sense."Skylar." Mom came to me immediately. "Sweetie what is happening? Where are we?""You are home. In your bedroom." I was sobbing so hard I could barely speak.Dad looked around the room with confusion. "This is my bedroom? I do not remember it.""Because the bond took your memories," I choked out. "You sacrificed everything to save me."

Ross's POVThe first memory hit me three weeks after the ancient presence warned us.I was drinking coffee when Morgan laughed at something Skylar said and suddenly I remembered that exact laugh from thirty years ago.We had been at a pack gathering. She had worn a blue dress and laughed just like that when I told a terrible joke.The memory was so vivid I dropped my mug. It shattered on the floor and everyone stared."Ross what is wrong?" Morgan asked."I remembered something. Your laugh. A blue dress. A pack gathering decades ago."Her eyes widened. "The memories are starting."Over the following months, they came in fragments. Random and unpredictable like rain.A touch would spark recollection of our wedding night. The way her skin felt under my hands and how nervous we both were.A look would recall a fight we had when the kids were young. Something stupid about discipline that escalated into yelling.Sometimes I would be mid-conversation and suddenly remember teaching Skylar to

  Skylar's POV One year with Elias taught me that love was messier and more beautiful than I ever imagined. We fought sometimes. Stupid arguments about training schedules or whose turn it was to choose where we ate dinner. Last week we had a huge fight because I pushed him away. My insecurities about my powers surfaced and I convinced myself he deserved better. "You think I care about your powers?" Elias had demanded. "I care about you, Skylar. Just you." "But what if I lose control again? What if I hurt someone you love?" "Then we deal with it together. That is what relationships are. Facing things together." He had pulled me close and I cried against his chest while he promised everything would be okay. We always talked through our issues. Always came back to each other stronger than before
