THEODOSA.

I watched the wolf until his ears relaxed.

Like he was actually falling asleep now.

And then I sat there, trying to make sense of what had just happened.

He'd shifted. Dragged me away from Nala and Afnie. Chased me through the forest. Sniffed every inch of me like I was some kind of puzzle he needed to solve. Walked away.

And now he was... napping?

None of it made sense.

But the wolf seemed rather done with me. His breathing had evened out, deep and steady. Both ears were relaxe

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    93: I WANT TO DO THIS FOREVER, XAHEN!

    XAHEN.The small one who'd been sitting in the corner with her mouth open had recovered first.An hour in, and she was currently hanging off my left arm with both hands, her feet off the ground, swinging herself back and forth with the absolute confidence of someone who had never once considered that this might not be safe.Two boys were chasing each other in circles around me, which meant my shadows had to keep adjusting to avoid knocking them over… which they found hilarious of course. A girl with two lopsided braids had planted herself directly in front of me and was telling me something very important about a bird she'd seen that morning, and she had no intention of stopping until I acknowledged every detail."It had four eyes," she said, holding up four fingers."They all do," I said.She looked at me like I'd just ruined something for her. “No they don’t! Some have three!”“Those are rare.” I whispered nicely.The door opened.Hale stepped inside and stopped.Irritation sparked

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    92: PERFECT PAST TIME

    XAHEN. The meeting had run long. Draven wanted to revisit the border patrol issue. Hale had negative thoughts about it. Base had jokes about Hale's thoughts. The whole thing went forty minutes longer than it needed to. I spent the second half somewhere else entirely mentally. Specifically, the courtyard in the Eastern Realm. The dragon's body would still be there. I wanted to go see it. Nobody in the Eastern Realm was moving something that size without a very good reason, and very good reasons weren't something the Eastern Realm produced in abundance. It would be right where it fell. That was one thing on my mind. The other thing was Kane. From what Nala told me, Kane had known about the dragon fight. Which meant he'd been there. Which meant at some point during the part where I was losing significant amounts of blood on Eastern Realm cobblestones, my brother had been standing nearby watching it happen. I wasn't bothered that he hadn't helped. I didn't need he

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    91: WHAT DO YOU WANT, THEODOSA?

    THEODOSA.I looked at her and didn't say a word for a long moment as my words settled in the air.She held my gaze. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking or feeling. Then she said, "Go ahead.""What?" I breathed."Go ahead." It came out the same way she'd said it the first time, like it cost her nothing. "Tell him."I couldn't find a single word to put in front of her."I've known Xahen for a long time,” she said. "If you think a threat about Kane is going to make me stand back and watch you suffer through a full heat alone then you don't know me at all." She held my gaze. "And after everything we've been through in this cabin, I'd like to think you know me a little."I felt the threat come apart in my hands before I could stop it. I'd thrown it out fast because it was the only thing I had, and now it was just sitting there doing nothing."I mean it," I tried again."I know you do." Her voice stayed even. "You're scared. You don't want him knowing your body is doing something you di

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    90: INTIMATE RESULTS

    THEODOSA. I stared at her, lost for a moment . “I didn’t think I was eligible for a heat,” I whispered. Afnie sat quietly beside me, taking it in like it wasn’t the craziest thing she’d ever heard, and somehow that made it worse. “Is it truly, truly possible?” I panicked, glancing between the both of the’m. “I thought a mated couple had to be fully marked before the female could go into heat.” “That’s usually the case,” Nala said. She put her hand under her chin. “When a male marks his female it disrupts her biology,” she said. “Her hormones, her instincts, basically everything shifts. It intensifies the need to mate with him until the bond is fully completed. Nature’s doing.” She paused. “But another thing is this… the timeline depends on the strength of the bond. For example, an alpha male could send his mate into heat way quicker than a beta blooded male, or any lower rank.” Afnie and I stared at each other, then at Nala. “But Xahen never marked Theo,” Afnie said. “That’s

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    89: DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER

    THEODOSA.My door flew open and I jerked awake.A second later the blinds went up and sunlight came straight at my face like it had a personal grievance with me."Rise and shine!"I got my hand up over my eyes and squinted through my fingers at Nala, who was standing at the window looking entirely too pleased with herself for this hour of the morning. Whatever she'd had for breakfast, I needed to stay away from it permanently.She crossed to the bed, grabbed both my arms and pulled until I was sitting upright."Wait one second," she said, already heading back for the door. "I'll be right back."She was gone before I could respond.I sat there blinking at the wall.She came back with a steaming cup and set it on the side table next to me.I looked at it. "What is that?"Her brows furrowed. "Coffee."That couldn’t be right. Nala made things in cups, hot things that steamed and smelled strange and tasted like whatever plant had wronged her most recently. Coffee was not something she wa

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    88: MARGINALLY SANE

    XAHEN.She was still coming down from it.Her scent was buried in my nose, thick and sweet and completely inescapable. Her arousal was sitting on my cock like a reminder I didn't need. My shoulder burned where her nails had been. I didn't look at the marks.My canines were throbbing with the urge to sink into her skin, and that was exactly the problem.This needed to stop.I pulled off her immediately and stood up on unsteady legs. Her blue eyes widened and I looked away a second too late. She was spread across my bed with her hair everywhere, her chest heaving and her thighs still parted, looking like an invitation I couldn't afford to accept. Her breasts were heavy flushed swells connected to a slender waist, forming a milky and freckled path downward to those reddish curls covering her pale pink pussy.It was the most inviting site in the world. I turned my back to her and shoved myself back into my slacks, tucking away what was currently making clear thinking impossible. The p

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    21: PRISON BREAK

    THEODOSA. I should try to escape. The thought had been circling my mind like a vulture for hours—maybe days—waiting for me to be desperate enough to actually consider it. I stared at the bars of my cell, then down at the silver chains on my wrists. The burns were worse now. Red and weeping,

    XAHEN. The council chamber was already loud when I pushed through the heavy doors. Seven voices overlapped in the kind of organized chaos that told me they’d been at it for a while. I was late. Again. What else was new? The conversation died the moment I stepped inside, but not in the us

    THEODOSA.The guard's hands were rough as he clamped the silver chains around my wrists.The burn was immediate and vicious, like he'd pressed hot iron directly to my skin. I bit down hard on the inside of my cheek, tasting copper, refusing to give him the satisfaction of hearing me cry out.He yan

    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
