XAHEN.

Nala came down the cabin steps with one finger already raised.

"Xahen." Her voice had that particular edge it got when she thought she was about to prevent something. "Don't."

I studied her for a moment.

"I've given you much leave," I said, "and just as much respect." I let that sit. "But you won't stand in my way this time."

Nala looked at me without blinking. "Are you going to kill her?"

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    102: OUT OF HIS WAY

    XAHEN.Nala came down the cabin steps with one finger already raised."Xahen." Her voice had that particular edge it got when she thought she was about to prevent something. "Don't."I studied her for a moment."I've given you much leave," I said, "and just as much respect." I let that sit. "But you won't stand in my way this time."Nala looked at me without blinking. "Are you going to kill her?"Theodosa's face came back to me before I could stop it. The way she'd looked when I had my hands around her throat. The fear on her face, open and real and directed entirely at me.I pushed it away. I hated that it had come at all.I tilted my head. "And if I did?"I stepped closer to her. "She's been in your custody for some time and you've given me nothing. You've been useless to me on her account." I held her gaze. "Fault me not for taking matters into my own hands."I moved to walk past her.Nala put her hands up.I slapped them out of my way.Her hands came back up instantly, faster this

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    101: HAPPY TRAIL

    XAHEN.She was far away.The bond told me that before I was fully upright. A faint pull in my chest pointing well past the borders of the immediate territory. She'd put real distance between us.Nala's doing. I was certain of it.I'd been walking for close to an hour. Base and Hale had attached themselves to my side somewhere along the way without being invited. Two actual guards flanked me, which I had arranged. I had a use for them when we arrived. Base and Hale I had no use for and they were coming anyway, which was a thing they did and a thing I had no energy to address today.Twelve hours had passed since I'd opened my eyes on the floor of Nala's cabin.The warmth had hit me before anything else did. Her smell, the weight of her pressed into my side, the bond sitting between us in a way it hadn't in longer than I was going to think about. I hadn't known anything was wrong yet. Every part of me was settled in a way I hadn't been in over a century and I hadn't known why yet and tho

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    100: XAHEN AND THAT NIGHT

    XAHEN.I was on my back in the dark when the whiskey bottle ran out.I held it over my mouth for a moment anyway, waiting, and got nothing. Then I let it drop to the floor, hearing as it rolled somewhere. Where there were others empty and idle on the floor.I had stopped counting them a while ago, which meant I was getting close to where I needed to be… that particular altitude where the ceiling stopped being the ceiling and started being a dark shape above me that didn't mean anything. I could still hear Oceanne’s voice in the back of my head, which meant I wasn’t drunk enough. Or that I was already drunk out of my mind. Maybe I’d been drunk for the better part of the last few days as usual, and all the memories I’d stocked up since then were fake. Maybe the memory of her showing up on my shore last night was conjured from my fucked up mind too. Yes… that had to be it. I closed my eyes.My body felt like it was sinking through the mattress and I had no particular objection to t

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    99: YOUR SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME

    THEODOSA. Nala settled deeper into the armchair and a small cloud of dust lifted around her. She scrunched her nose at it, looked around at the murky interior of the cabin like she was taking stock of it, and then seemed to decide she had bigger problems. Her fingers found one of the tattoos on her upper arm and traced over it slowly, absentmindedly, while she let out a long breath. "Well." She paused for a moment. "Where do I begin?”I pulled my knees up and waited. I was good at waiting when I needed to be.She shrugged, shifting in the chair. "From what I know, when he got his gift, he used his shadows to barricade this whole territory from the rest of the northern realm." She looked at me. "That's how he protects his people. Against ferals."I held back a shiver at that.Ferals. Monstrous, humanless rabid things. Whatever had once made them wolves was long gone. They lived down in the Unders, in the toxic lower levels of the northern realm where nothing grew and no one with any

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    98: EVER SO FRIGHTENED

    THEODOSA. Nala had been staring out the same window for ten minutes. I watched her from the armchair, picking at the edge of my thumbnail, tracking the way her eyes moved across whatever was outside without her expression giving anything away. The cabin was small and smelled like old wood and dust and nothing else. No one had been here in a while. I wasn't sure if that was comforting or not. "Are we safe here?" I asked. Nala didn't turn around. "We're not safe anywhere." I stopped picking at my nail. She turned then, and looked at me the way she sometimes did, like she was taking stock of something. Then she crossed the room, moved a pile of folded cloth off the worn armchair across from mine, and sat down. "What happened," she said, and it didn’t come out like a question. So I told her. From seeing the eye at the window. Climbing out into the dark. The wolf backing up when I told it to, like it understood me, and then dropping its whole head into my lap like that was ju

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    97: LIVID KING

    THEODOSA.The first thing I registered was that I couldn't breathe.My chest was compressed and there was heat everywhere, pressing me into the ground from above, and my lungs were working against it absentmindedly.My mouth was dry.The back of my neck was damp. And the smell hit me before anything else did… It was dark, earthy, warm and familiar in a way that made my heart rate pick up before I was even fully awake.I lay there in confusion for a moment, trying to place myself.There was grass under me, and the cold morning air on my legs.And then my heart slammed with one hard lurch, straight up my throat as I remembered last night.I blinked my eyes open fast.The black curls were the first thing I saw.A full, thick mop of them, right there, buried in the center of my chest. I stared down at them without moving. The weight compressing my ribcage resolved itself into a broad back, tattoos I recognized without wanting to, muscles I could count from here. Xahen’s arms were wrap

    THEODOSA.My body knew him before my brain did.Something in my chest pulled tight the moment he filled the doorway, some deep, instinctual alarm that had been dormant since the beach. Since the shore. Since I stood on that dark sand in the cold and realized there was no boat, there had never been

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    66: CONSIDER IT A PEACE OFFERING

    XAHEN. I needed more whiskey. The six crates I’d brought back from my last trip to the Eastern Realm were down to two and a half, and at the rate I was going through them, I’d be out before the week was over. Normally I’d just wait. Let the supply run low and make the trip when I absolutely had

    XAHEN.I couldn't focus on a single fucking word being said.It was on days like this that I hated the fact that I didn't deal transport with Duskmire and Lucenia.Maybe if I didn't move important cargo between realms, I wouldn't have to sit here and listen to my council bicker around me while my h

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    56: TO SAVE YOUR BROTHER

    THEODOSA. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Nala walked beside me with a pace that said she wasn’t going to slow down no matter how much I dragged my feet. The path toward the palace grounds stretched out ahead of us like a death march. “You wanted this,” Nala said without looking at me. “I know.
