BOUND BY ECHOES Chapter 29 — What We Shouldn’t Want
The space between them vanished.One second Lena was reaching, fingers brushing Vance’s, and the next the dream yanked them together. His mouth crashed into hers, hard, urgent, nothing like the careful distance they kept when awake. She tasted heat and salt and something darker that made her blood rush.Vance didn’t hesitate. His hands gripped her waist, pulling her flush against him as if the real world had never existed. Lena arched into the contact, a soft sound escaping her throat that didn’t sound like her. Every brush of his fingers burned. Every shift of his body against hers sent sparks racing under her skin.He kissed her like he was angry at how much he wanted this, deep, demanding, tongue sliding against hers in a rhythm that made her head spin. Lena gripped his shoulders, nails digging in, pulling him closer. His hands roamed, possessive, sliding up her back, down her sides, gripping her hips hard enough to leave marks she knew she’d feel later.There was no slow build. Ju
BOUND BY ECHOES CHAPTER 28 — The Line You Don’t Cross
“...closer.”The word barely left Lena’s lips before she snapped her mouth shut.Her chest rose sharply.No.That wasn’t her.Vance’s grip tightened on her arm again.“Lena.”This time, there was no calm in his voice.Just warning.That cut through it.Lena blinked hard and dragged her gaze away from the trees. Her body resisted, every instinct pulling her forward, but she forced her feet to stop.Forced her breathing to steady.“I said I smell something,” she muttered, lower now. Controlled.Vance didn’t move.Didn’t look away.He was watching her too closely.“I heard you.”A beat.“You’re acting like you want to chase it.”Her pulse spiked.Too close.“I'm not,” she said quickly.Silence.He didn’t argue.Didn’t agree either.That was worse.“Stay behind me,” he said finally.Not a suggestion.Lena nodded.And obeyed.Because right now…She needed distance.From whatever that was.From herself.They moved fast after that.No more slow tracking.No more quiet observation.Just dista
BOUND BY ECHOES CHAPTER 27 — The Hunger Beneath
Something was wrong.Lena knew it the moment her eyes snapped open.Dark.Too dark.But she could see.Shapes.Movement.Edges where there shouldn’t be anything at all.Her breath slowed.The fire had burned low, barely glowing now, but the forest wasn’t empty to her anymore. It felt… mapped. Like her senses were stretching further than they should.She didn’t move.Didn’t make a sound.But she could hear everything.The crackle of dying embers.The shift of leaves somewhere far off.A branch creaking under weight that wasn’t there a second ago.Too sharp.Too clear.Her chest tightened.This wasn’t normal.Lena swallowed slowly and turned her head slightly.Vance was still awake.Sitting across from her.Watching the dark.His posture hadn’t changed much, but now she could hear it, the subtle shift of his breathing, steady and controlled, like he never fully let his guard down.Had it always been like this?Or was it her?Lena pushed herself up quietly.Too quietly.Even to her own e
BOUND BY ECHOES CHAPTER 26 — The Space Between Us
The silence didn’t break.It stretched.Lena didn’t move.Her gaze stayed somewhere past Vance, unfocused.The Echo pulsed once more.Soft.Quieter now.Vance watched her for a second longer.Then he turned away.Not dismissing her.Just… giving space.“I’ll start a fire,” he said.Like it was the next logical step.Lena nodded faintly, even though he wasn’t looking at her.Good.Something normal.Something steady.Vance moved without hesitation, gathering what he needed like he’d done it a hundred times before. No wasted motion. No noise.Lena stayed where she was for a moment, arms folding loosely across herself.Her body was tired.But her mind wasn’t.That was the problem.She could still feel it.That strange pull.Faint now.But there.She shut her eyes briefly.Tried to ignore it.Didn’t work.A small crack of wood pulled her attention back.The fire caught.Low at first.Then steady.Enough to push back the dark just a little.Vance crouched near it, adjusting the flames befor
BOUND BY ECHOES CHAPTER 25 — After the Silence
He was gone.But the feeling didn’t leave with him.Lena stood exactly where she was, her eyes fixed on the space between the trees where Kai had disappeared.The forest had gone quiet again.Too quiet.Not peaceful.Not safe.Just… waiting.Her chest rose slowly.Then again.The Echo didn’t settle.It moved under her ribs, restless, like something had been interrupted and didn’t know where to go next.It wasn’t warning her.It wasn’t reacting to danger.It was… lingering.On him.Lena’s fingers curled slightly at her sides.That didn’t make sense.It should have calmed down the moment he left.Instead…It stayed.Low and uneasy.Focused in a way that made her chest tighten.“You felt that.”Vance’s voice cut through the silence.Lena didn’t look at him.“Felt what?”“That wasn’t just danger.”Her jaw tightened slightly.She forced her gaze away from the trees, finally turning toward him.Vance wasn’t watching the forest.He was watching her.Carefully.Like she was the problem now.“
BOUND BY ECHOES CHAPTER 24 — The One Who Stayed
The silence didn’t last long.Lena felt it first.This presence didn’t creep.It walked straight in.Unafraid.Her breath caught.“He’s here.”Vance didn’t ask who.He already knew.His body went still beside her, every muscle tightening, not in surprise.In recognition.A figure stepped out from between the trees.Alone.No rush.Kai.He stopped a few steps away, just inside the clearing.Close enough to see.Far enough to keep distance.His gaze went straight to Lena.Not Vance.Not the blood on the ground.Her.“You’re coming with me.”No greeting.No hesitation.Just a command.Lena didn’t move.The words settled between them, heavy and sharp.Vance let out a quiet breath beside her.“You don’t get to walk in here and make demands.”Kai didn’t even look at him.“I’m not talking to you.”That did it.The air shifted instantly.Vance stepped forward slightly, just enough to put himself between them.“You should start.”Kai’s gaze flicked to him then.Cold.Measured.“And you should
