POV: Nyx (First Person)

I knew what he was the moment he walked into the court room.

The visiting alpha carried himself like he had already decided that he was the most important person here. Alpha Crest of the Varen Pack, I had read everything available on him in the three days since his visit was announced, because reading everything available on people before I met them was the closest thing to armor I had. I knew his pack's financial dependencies. I knew which alliances were solid and which

  • BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride    Chapter 55: The Things We Say in the Dark

    POV: Elara (Limited Third)"We split at the second ridge," Thorne said, his finger tracing the route on the map between them. "You and Nyx take the eastern approach through the tree line. Lucian and I come in from the north. We rejoin at the old marker stone before the final descent."Elara studied the map. The approach made sense, two smaller groups were harder to track than one party of four, and the eastern tree line would give her and Nyx natural cover for the last stretch. Whoever sent that location burst from the estate had bought them maybe a day before whoever received it could move."We lose two hours with the split," she said."We lose more than two hours if we walk in as a group and someone is waiting on the ridge."She did not argue because he was right, and when Thorne was right she did not waste time performing disagreement. She made a note on her copy of the route and he marked the rendezvous point on his and they folded the maps back to their travel creases. The fire

  • BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride    Chapter 54: Moving North: The Land Changes

    POV: Nyx (First Person)Something changed on the third day.Not the weather or the road. Something underneath both of those things, something I could not point to or name, that started at the base of my sternum and spread outward slowly the way warmth spread when you stepped into a heated room after a long time in the cold.The land was different up here.Not just wilder, though it was that, or emptier, though settlements had become sparse, scarce and then entirely absent as travelled through. It was something older than those descriptions could reach. The trees were larger. The ground between them was a different color, darker, richer, the soil of a place that had been left alone long enough to become fully itself. The ridges we crested every few hours had a quality that I had no word for, like they had been standing long before anyone thought to put roads through them and had opinions about the arrangement that they had simply been too patient to argue.I kept touching my sternum.I

  • BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride    Chapter 53: The Border Inn: Night One

    POV: Lucian (First Person)I read the document a third time and then I put it face down on the desk.Someone inside my estate had written those descriptions. The thought produced something in my chest that I did not have a clean name for.Not anger exactly. Anger was simpler than this. This felt like a sensation of a threat that had already moved past the point where I could stop it and was now simply a fact I had to manage, which was the category of threat I found most intolerable.The document stayed face down.The light under her door had been on since we arrived.I sat at the small desk for another ten minutes and looked at nothing in particular and did not examine what I was thinking about. Then I stood up and went to her door and told myself it was operational. We had an insider problem that needed thinking through and she thought fast and caught angles. Besides, the night was long.She opened the door and she was still dressed. “Hey” “Hello” I said backThen she looked at me

    POV: Elara (Limited Third Person)"The ridge is faster," Thorne said."The ridge is exposed," Elara shot back."We have already lost a day on the new route.""We have also already acquired a tail. Would you like to acquire another one on an open ridge with no cover and nowhere to move if someone is waiting for us?"Thorne looked at her across the map and she looked back at him. The border settlement inn was small and the common room was smaller, a table, two chairs, a candle, and a map of the northern territory spread between them that had been the source of this particular disagreement for the last twenty minutes.He pointed at the ridge line. "Three hours faster. We reach the ruins before dark.""And if someone is positioned on that ridge who knew we were leaving the estate two days before we did, we reach nothing. We become the thing someone finds." She put her finger on the valley road, the longer route, the one that ran through dense tree cover for most of its length and offered

    POV: Lucian (First Person)Two wolves. They have been moving parallel to us since midday."Those words from Thorne and the camp was already being packed before the last one landed. No fire to douse because we had not yet lit one. Two minutes and we were moving into the trees, the open ground abandoned behind us like it had never been ours.“Stay hidden” I turned and said to Nyx. Thorne and I split without a word.East and west, No discussion required. No assignment of roles. We had done this kind of thing in enough dark forests that our bodies knew which way to go before our minds finished the instruction.I took the east.I did not move fast. Fast was noise and noise was death in a forest at night where two trained wolves were already positioned and alert. I moved with patience. With the controlled stillness of a man who had learned long ago that the person who won in the dark was rarely the person who moved quickest. It was always the person who was most comfortable in it.I heard

  • BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride    Chapter 50: First Days North

    POV: Nyx (First Person)I was not falling off the horse, I was simply adjusting that was what I told myself anyways. There is a difference and I would like it noted that I maintained my seat for the entire first day and most of the second, which was a considerable achievement given that I had spent precisely zero hours of my twenty three years learning to ride anything and had decided forty eight hours before departure that this was not information anyone needed to have.Thorne noticed first he said nothing about it. He simply looked at me from across the road with the expression of a man filing information he intended to use later.Then Elara noticed second. "You cannot ride," she said, pulling alongside me on the second morning with the specific directness she used when she had decided kindness and efficiency were the same thing."I can ride," I said."You are gripping the mane.""I am resting my hand on the mane."She looked at me. I looked at the road. “Oh Nyx.” The conversation
