All Chapters of Forbidden: My Alpha Brother’s Obsession : Chapter 81 - Chapter 86

ZORENIt takes me thirty minutes to drive from the facility to the house. I spend every second deciding what to take from the apartment I’ve shared with Liora for years as her partner.As the car nears the house, the usual tiredness rises in my chest. It has been seven years, but I’ve never come up to this place without feeling anything but exhaustion or hate.The house sits at the end of a long drive lined with birches. It’s a pale stone mansion on twenty acres of land with six bedrooms, a conservatory, and a library no one reads in. Liora’s parents gave it to us as a wedding present.If what we had wasn’t merely an arrangement to me, I would have rejected the house. Why would I let another Alpha gift me the home I would live in with my wife?My chest tightens as I kill the engine. I step o

It should be enough to keep Katherine alive for a year.”Cassie has bled enough.Adler nods slowly. “I’ll arrange the courier.”I nod and walk back to Cassie’s room. She is exactly as I left her. I pull a chair to the edge of the bed. The metal feet scrape the floor, and the sound is obscene in the silence. I sit, taking her hand in both of mine. She’s as cold as the vials. I hold her palm between mine and try to warm it.“Hey,” I whisper. “Hey, tiger.”She doesn’t move. She doesn’t blink.“You were s
