I didn’t hesitate.
I ran like my life depended on it.
Who was that?
How on the realm was it possible that I had another mate? One who came from Kingdom Obsidian.
It made no sense.
And why, oh goddess why, did he tell me to run?
He said I returned again, like he knew me. What the hell was that about?
The trees whipped by me as I ran for my life, but in truth, I had no idea where I was running to.
The ground began to vibrate, heavy thuds coming up from far behind me.
And all the midnight runs I’d participated in at Duskmire made the telltale sound of a running wolf easy to pick apart.
I picked up the pace, heart pounding with adrenaline. The soil was soft and littered with all sorts of fallen branches and obstacles.
Like a fool, I tripped. Landing on my hands and knees in the dirt.
I knew I should have gotten back up and kept going, but I couldn’t stop myself from glancing over my shoulder.
And that’s when I saw bright golden eyes in the darkness. His wolf was massive.
Its steps slowed, its snout lowered to the ground as it bared its teeth. Spittle dripped menacingly from massive fangs.
It was stark black, so dark coloured all I could really see were its bright eyes, and where its massive paw sank into the soil as he studied me.
It was growling, and with every second, the reverberation grew more intense.
And my body wasn’t as scared as I needed it to be. Despite the fear in my chest and mind, my body was... alive.
Thrumming and basking in the presence of this menacing wolf I’d never seen before.
Mate. Mate. Mate.
Did that mean the man...?
If there was a wolf in this forest chasing me. And there was a man, who told me to run. That meant... the man knew I would be chased.
He was the one chasing.
Something clicked in my chest.
In my heart.
Was this... Xahen Ithorno?
No...
Goddess, no.
Because that would mean... Xahen Ithorno... was my mate?
I backed away as my body finally got the message.
We were in danger.
We were about to be ripped apart by this wolf because if I remembered correctly, Xahen couldn’t control his wolf.
That’s why he told me to run.
Common sense slammed into me and I got to my feet and ran again. Weaving through the trees to disorient the wolf. I puffed and heaved as I ran, risking another glance over my shoulder.
When I saw his wolf this time, I faltered.
He wasn’t moving.
He was growling into the ground, repeatedly shaking his head and fur, snapping his teeth at nothing, like he was fighting control.
What the...
The wolf suddenly stiffened, then those golden eyes came back to me.
In the next second, the beast lunged into the air in an attack.
I screamed, running until the path ended.
The darkness didn’t let me see what was at the bottom of the hill.
It was covered in thick fog.
I turned around as his wolf slowed in front of me, pawfalls easing up as he realized he had his prey right where he wanted me.
In the span of one night, my life had spun completely off course.
I was rejected by my mate, then given another that wanted me dead in almost the same breath. Cast away from my home and thrust into the most dangerous Kingdom in the realm.
I was standing face to face with the very myth parents used to scare their children into behaving right.
The simple concept of Xahen Ithorno spoke darkness into your soul.
I was damn near paralyzed.
One more step backward, and I’d fall right off the cliff.
The wolf’s head dropped low, growling as he prepared to lunge.
“Please,” I squeezed my eyes shut as I cried, “Don’t hurt me!”
But it was too late.
His momentum was already set.
I curled into myself and the beast lunged for me.
I felt the attack before I fell into oblivion.

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

THEODOSA.The building was bigger than the others around it, with wide windows showing the packed crowd inside.Music poured out every time the door opened, bass-heavy and loud enough to feel in my chest.Nala led me straight to the entrance. The bouncer took one look at her and stepped aside.We w

THEODOSA.The fourth shot went down like liquid courage with a side of bad decisions.I slammed the glass on the table hard enough that Beanne jumped."Easy," she said, grinning. "You trying to break my table?""Your table can handle it." I reached for the next glass Base was sliding toward me. "Un

THEODOSA."Yes," I said. "I drink."Nala's grin spread across her face. "Perfect. Get dressed. We're going out.""Out?" I blinked. "Where?""To a bar." She was already at the chest in the corner, pulling out clothes. "You've had the worst few days of your life. You deserve to let loose."Guilt twis
