THEODOSA.

Ten years.

I drew back from the bars, the weight of those two words crushing down on me like a boulder.

Ten years locked in this cell? Ten possible years waiting for a king who believed I was his twice-over betrayer. Ten years hoping he'd shift back into a man who wanted me dead anyway?

What the fuck?

It wasn't just a prison sentence. It was a slow, cold death.

The woman turned toward the heavy wooden door, her footsteps already carrying her away.

Panic clawed up my throat.

"Wait!" The word tore out of me, desperate and raw.

She stopped. I watched her shoulders tense, saw the reluctance in the way she held herself.

When she turned back, her expression was guarded. Annoyed, even.

I swallowed my pride. After everything I'd been through, pride was a luxury I couldn't afford.

"Please," I whispered, softer this time. My voice cracked. "Don't leave me here alone."

For a split second—barely a heartbeat—something shifted in her face. The cold indifference melted just enough for me t

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    16: HOW CRUEL

    XAHEN.“Search the western wing again. Every closet, every crawl space. If a mouse moves, I want to know about it.”My voice seemed to bite into the walls of the throne room. The guard didn't even look up. He simply bowed, his shoulders hunched in fear, and scrambled away. I watched his retreating back, my jaw clenching so hard that I might crush it.I hated when they did that.Fled from me like I was some sort of bomb waiting to explode.On some days, I understood it. Today, I wasn’t patient enough to not be upset by it.Kane was gone, again.I had personally asked every guard on the perimeter. Not one of them had seen a flash of his coat or heard the sound of a footfall. But that was my brother, a ghost when he wanted to be.He had used the chaos of Theodosa’s arrival to play his games, manipulated every piece to fit his agenda, and the second the curtain fell, he had vanished.He set her on me and left me at her mercy.How fucking cruel of him.I stood in the center of the vast, em

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    NOT A FLUKE

    THEODOSA The heavy door to the dungeon clicked shut, and the silence that followed felt heavy, like a physical weight pressing against my chest. I was back in my cell. Nala had brought me here moments after coming back into her cabin and telling me Xahen was gone. Now she was gone too.The only thing she left behind was the faint, lingering scent of herbs and a fear so cold it made my teeth ache.I didn't have a bed. I didn't even have a pile of dry straw. I sank onto the floor, my skin flinching as it met the freezing, damp stone. I pulled the silk robe tightly around me, but it did nothing to block the chill seeping up from the ground. My fingers trembled as I let the fabric slip just enough to graze my side. The wound from Xahen’s wolf was closing, the edges puckered and red. I traced the line in the dark. It would surely leave a scar. I’d carry a jagged reminder of the night the beast chose to let me live instead of killing me.With nothing but the darkness for company, m

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    14: RECKLESS THINKING

    XAHEN.Nala sighed, watching me wrestle with it. "You can still kill her in the end, you know. But you can wait a little longer." She lifted her brows. "You've waited this long anyway. What's a bit more time?"I stared past her, toward the dark forest, my jaw working.I didn't want this happening again. I couldn't survive another century of waiting for her to resurface just so she could drive another knife into my chest. Couldn't go through that again.But my wolf...My wolf was a son of a bitch. A vicious, uncontrollable monster that had lost every shred of humanity the moment that blade pierced my heart.But I didn't blame him for it.How could I?We'd been one once. Connected in a way most wolves and their human halves could only dream of. Two sides of the same coin. We understood each other. We were alike in all the ways that mattered.And then she'd severed that bond with one calculated strike.If there was even a chance—even the smallest, most unlikely chance—that I could get th

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    14: THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITY

    XAHEN.I opened the cell door and stepped inside.Every step toward her was torture.My muscles rippled beneath my skin, and it wasn't from exertion. It was awareness. Every single cell in my body knew it was drawing closer to every single cell of hers, and they were all screaming about it.The mate bond pulled between us like a rope stretched too tight.And then I felt it.That sharp prickle of awareness. The one I always got when my wolf was prowling just beneath the surface, waiting for a crack in my control to slip through.I tensed immediately, every muscle locking down, bracing myself to shove him back like I always did.But the feeling was... weak.Not even half as strong as it usually was. Not a quarter.That should have been a relief.It wasn't.I stood there, frozen and tense, slowly letting my eyes adjust to the darkness I'd created. She couldn't see me through the shadows, but I could see her perfectly.And fuck, I wished I couldn't.She was pressed against the far wall li

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    13: A DANGEROUS BOND

    XAHEN.Fuck the very essence of the moon goddess.The moment my eyes peeled open, I knew exactly where I was.Underground.In the massive crater my wolf liked to burrow into the soil every single time he was done playing apex predator and decided to hand the reins back to me.How generous of him.He'd crawl down here and leave me to claw my way back out like some kind of demented rebirth ritual.I lifted myself into a sitting position slowly, dirt covering every inch of my naked skin. When I got to my feet, I had enough room to stand. Made sense, considering my wolf was easily three times my size.The bastard was also oddly... meticulous.No leaves. No branches. No random debris. Just smooth, compacted soil forming perfectly curved walls.How he managed to excavate an underground den this neat, I'd never know.Every single time I woke up here, it was exactly the same.Except for one thing.I could feel her.Theodosa's presence pressed against my senses like an itch I couldn't scratch.
