BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride Chapter 51: The Tail
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

POV: Nyx (First Person)I walked into his study with my chin up and my decision already made.He moved over and sat behind his desk looking at me directly with calm attention. Waiting for me to say what I had come here for. I gathered up boldness and said "Elara and I will be going north. To my hometown."I felt his eyes scan me slowly. "And why is that?""We need more information on my bloodline to help Mara recover properly. Elara has hit a wall she cannot get around from here."He leaned forward slightly. "The archive should-""It does not have what we are looking for." I did not let him finish. "Someone made sure of that a long time ago. There is almost nothing left. Whatever documentation existed about the Noven bloodline has specifically and deliberately been removed. The only place it might still exist is where my family lived."He looked at me with the careful specific attention he gave everything that mattered. Then: "And if I say no?"I held his gaze. "I did not come here
BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride Chapter 48: Dead end (Blocked)
POV: Nyx (First Person)I knew something was wrong twenty minutes in.Not with me. I was doing what Elara had taught me. Sitting still, breathing slowly, keeping myself open without reaching. Mara was there too, pressing forward with the steady determined energy she had been building over five sessions, closer to the surface than she had been even yesterday.The problem was Elara.I could feel it in the quality of her silence. There was the silence she wore when she was working, focused and deliberate, the silence of someone moving through a process with full confidence in the map. And then there was this silence. The silence of someone who had hit a wall they did not expect and were not showing me yet.She ended the session fifteen minutes early."I need to check something," she said.I read her face. Something had shifted behind her eyes, the expression of a person who has understood a problem they do not yet have a solution to."Okay," I said.She left without explaining further an

POV: Lucian (First Person)She knocked this time.I noticed it. She had not knocked the last time she came to this study with something important. In fact she had never knocked. Thinking about that now she is very bold. "Come in," I said.She came in and sat down across from me without preamble, the way she did everything, and she looked at me for a moment with the expression of someone who has rehearsed a beginning and has decided to abandon it in favor of just starting."I need to tell you something," she said. "About the session with Elara yesterday."I set down what I was holding. "Go ahead."She told me all of it. She told me about Mara pushing through for the first time, not a stirring but a full break, real and complete, and the memory she has seen after Mara pushed and she was in it. She was in a clearing, frozen ground and everywhere had smelt of blood. She told me about the woman who had come to save her and her voice was warm and careful.I did not move and she kept going.
BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride Chapter 46: What Aggie Already Knew
POV: Nyx (First Person)I did not plan to go to the kitchen, my feet just took me there. It was past the dinner hour so the corridors were quiet and the estate settled into its nighttime sounds. I came through the kitchen door and Aggie looked up from the worktable but did not alter a single. She simply pulled out the chair across from her and went back to what she was doing.That was my sign to sit down.The kitchen was warm. It was always warm. That was the thing about this room that had undone me from the first night I found it. Aggie looked at me once. "Have you even eaten today, child?""I had breakfast."She put a bowl in front of me and said, "Eat." like it was not an option.The contents was something warm, thick, and smelling of sweet herbs.I looked at it but did not eat immediately. I sat with my hands flat on the table and looked at the bowl and tried to find the beginning.I had spent my entire life compressing things, filing them, and converting the raw version into s
