XAHEN.

I did something despite myself and everything I wanted to do to that woman.

Instead of violence, I chose an instruction.

"Tell me about Theodosa," I said.

He blinked at the sudden shift. "What?"

"You came all this way for her. Swam through water that should have killed you. Tell me why."

He stared at me like I'd just asked him to explain why the sun rose or why water was wet.

"Because she's my sister."

"That's not an answer. Tell me how she got here," I said, my tone making it cle

  • 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

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    96: SO FREAKISHLY WEIRD

    THEODOSA.My brain was still trying to catch up to what had just happened. It had understood me…It had actually understood me and proven it, and now it was sitting at my window looking at me like it was waiting to see what I did next.The question came out before I could stop it, as I shook my head in wonder, "How different are you from him?"The wolf snorted.I drew back from the glass in surprise. It had heard me. And from the sound it made, it had thoughts about what I'd asked.I stared at it.It stared right back.Slowly, I glanced over my shoulder at my bedroom door.Nala was right there. Twenty feet away. She would know what to do with this. She always knew what to do.A soft whine reached my ears and I snapped my head back to the window fast.The wolf had its paw on the glass. It wasn't pounding this time. It was just pressing there, slow and steady against the surface.It felt like it was reaching for me.I stood there and tried to think clearly about this.The last time I'd

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    46: THE UNWANTED SLEEPING COMPANION

    THEODOSA. I sat there watching him, completely lost.My gaze traveled to the wall of shadows still blocking the door. Still trapping me here with him.I looked back down at Xahen in confusion.Muffled sounds came from outside. Probably Nala and Anfie being just as confused as I was and unwilling t

  • Bound To The Cursed Lycan    44: BAD WHISKEY

    XAHEN.The third bottle went down wrong.I drained what was left anyway, waiting for my thoughts to blur into something manageable. Something that didn't involve red hair and freckles and the way she'd looked at me from across that brothel like I'd personally offended her just by existing.Didn't w

    THEODOSA.My spine went rigid. I sat up straighter without meaning to."Shit." Hale was looking up. "This is gonna get interesting."He snapped his fingers and pointed at the terrace.We all turned.The crowd up there was shifting. Bodies parted without being told, creating a path through the packe

    THEODOSA.The night air slapped my face when we stepped outside.For three seconds, I thought it might clear my head. Then the alcohol reminded me who was in charge and the cobblestones started moving under my feet.Nala grabbed my wrist and I held on because the alternative was eating pavement.Th
