All Chapters of Cuffed By My Brother-in-Law: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

CALITHEAIt felt like my heart had been undergoing a slow, painful squeeze.Yet I was more concerned about Valen, who at that point rushed toward Scorby with a speed likened to lightning.“What the hell did you mean by that?” Valen snarled, his claws already grazing Scorby’s face and drawing blood.Scorby only had a sharp smile on his face, regardless of what Valen had done. Just as quickly as the wound appeared, it healed.He was powerful. His ability to heal so quickly only made that clearer.I had felt it when he killed that man in the memory, but whatever he was doing here, even without lifting a finger, I could feel it. With our history, he was a threat to Valen.More than anything, I felt like his presence here was for something else, no matter what he had told me earlier.Before Valen could land another attack on him, I grabbed his arm.“Not now.”Valen snapped his head toward me, anger still burning fiercely in them.“We need to find Lux first,” I said firmly. “He is our prior

VALEN“Calithea.”I shook her gently, panic flooding through me. There was still a smear of blood at the corner of her lips.My gaze flashed toward Lux, whose eyes had already fallen shut again.‘Get the healer down here!’ I mind-linked Soren at once.I searched Calithea’s face for any sign that she was okay.She was breathing normally now, but I couldn't stop wondering what had happened to her.Had using her abilities pushed her body too far?What I did know was that she had almost lost her life trying to save him.And that thought hurt more than I wanted to admit.It was becoming a pattern I hated.Every time I thought I had finally gotten her out of danger, something else happened. Another threat occurs. where I was left wondering whether I would lose her.And I couldn't shake the feeling that I was responsible for too much of it.Scorby moved to touch her, but I blocked his access. “Keep your damn hands to yourself.”His eyes slowly traveled from Calithea in my arms back to me.H

CALITHEA“Nothing will happen to me,” I said to him, but my words hardly scratched the surface of the worry in his eyes. He still looked at me as though I were already in some sort of trouble.He exhaled hard, his eyes hardening slightly. “You don’t get it,” he muttered softly. “I know what they are capable of doing, and…”“So you would side with Scorby now?” I asked, cutting him off.“I’m not siding with him.”“That’s not what it sounded like,” I retorted.He sighed. “He is annoying as hell, and I still can’t stand him. But he’s not dumb.”He ran a hand through his already tousled hair, his eyes weary, like he had been carrying the weight of something far heavier than he wanted to admit.“What he said was the truth. I can’t keep putting more of my people in danger because of my personal feelings.”I understood what he meant, yet I knew something had prompted those words, something I was still in the dark about.I found his hand and squeezed it reassuringly.“Then we’ll figure it out

Calithea“Who knew those powers of yours could come in handy for preserving my life, huh?”Lux said it with a strange tone as he sat up in bed.He had woken up a while ago, after more than two days, and still had the nerve to throw jokes around like he had just woken up from a pleasant afternoon nap. “How are you feeling?” I asked.He stretched all his limbs first, then gave me a smile that was far too bright for anyone who had gone through such an ordeal. “I feel renewed, like I was born again.”At least his heart had been healing, faster than I had anticipated after expecting the worst days ago. It wouldn’t take long for him to recover fully.He cracked his neck, his eyes holding mine for far too long.His eyes drifted behind me to Valen, who had been quiet all along.“Aren’t you going to at least say something to me?” he asked.A weird emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was gone before I could understand what it was.“It’s been a long while, I thought I wasn’t going to ever see y

CalitheaI raced back to the house I had considered my home for decades, even after I learned to avoid it.Meredith had informed me of his strange behavior, over the weeks, coupled with his failing health which had become worse. Even after he had denied being by him, I couldn't bring myself to stop thinking of him as less than a father. He was the one person who had made me feel like I had someone to call as family, even if he had treated me badly.Even if he had spent most of my life making me feel like I was the reason for his wife’s death.I still couldn't completely let him go…it was just so hard to do so.Yet the moment I stepped through the door, I slowed down my pace, realizing someone else was inside.The door to his room was slightly ajar and to my shock I saw Scorby.It felt like I was hallucinating for a second, as I stood rooted to the ground in confusion. What was he doing here?But that thought vanished the moment I realized what he was doing.His hand was around my f
