Bound To The Cursed Lycan 107: WAIT
THEODOSA.I was trying very hard not to look down.Every time I did, my stomach dropped out from under me and I had to remind myself that Base knew what he was doing and the invisible floor under my feet was solid and I was not going to fall. The reminders were working about sixty percent of the time.I had both hands fisted in the back of Base's shirt. I was not apologizing for that.We were hovering near the treeline where Xahen's forest began, several feet off the ground, and the four of us had already circled the entire perimeter of the palace. No wolf. No blood. No destruction. No guards or maids or staff lingering anywhere outside, which meant whatever warning had gone out had been listened to, or at least listened to enough. The grounds were empty and quiet and the wolf was nowhere in the palace perimeter at all.Nala had decided we might as well check where I thought he might be.So here we were."Alright," Base said. "We're here." He glanced back at me and caught my expressio
Bound To The Cursed Lycan 106: LEAD THE WAY
THEODOSA.There was nothing but darkness.No light. No sound. No up, no down. Just black, thick and endless, and me floating somewhere inside it like I didn't exist at all.It was the most disorienting thing I'd ever felt.I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or closed. Or if I was even breathing. For one terrifying second, I wondered if I was dead.Then I heard something faintly. Like it was faraway.Getting closer with every passing second, like someone turning up the volume on the world.Nala.I couldn't make out the words yet, just the shape of her voice, familiar enough to anchor me to something.I blinked. Or I thought I did. But nothing changed.I tried again, and again, rapidly and uselessly, my body doing something my eyes weren't catching up to.Slowly, the voices sharpened."––Nala, calm down––"That was clear enough to land.My vision cracked open into a blur, gray and formless, and I blinked through it until shapes started bleeding into focus. A ceiling first. Massive and
Bound To The Cursed Lycan 105: FIFTY YEARS AGO
XAHEN.Pain.That was everything. That was all there was.It moved through me in waves that never finished. My flesh would begin to close and the roots would find the new skin and start again. Over and over. Patient. Relentless. My body regenerating just fast enough to give them something fresh to work with.I had no idea how long I'd been here.Then I did.That was worse.I groaned. The sound went nowhere. The soil around me swallowed it and gave nothing back. I groaned and grunted and when the roots found something deep enough, I bellowed. And when the bellowing wasn't enough I screamed. Long and raw and completely without dignity, because dignity belonged to creatures who were allowed to die when dying was warranted, and I was not one of those.I screamed her name sometimes.Not on purpose. It just came out of me the way everything came out in that place, without permission, without warning, dragged up from somewhere I didn't have control over anymore. Luna. The name tore through m
Bound To The Cursed Lycan 104: THE WHYS
THEODOSA.I took a second to think.I could be honest about this one. I could tell him about my gift and hope he didn't connect it to anything else. He could take it at face value, move on, and not connect the dots to his wolf. Xahen titled his head with impatience.That was all he did, and somehow that was enough to push me right to the edge of everything I was trying to hold together. I needed to answer him. If I didn't answer him he was going to do something to jarr me out of my composure. And once that shattered, I wouldn't be able to lie my way through anything else tonight.I looked at the floor."I can bond with animals," I said.I moistened my lips. The weight of all his attention on me had been sitting on my skin for so long it was starting to feel like something physical. "I can talk to them," I added. "And sometimes understand them."Silence.I forced myself to look up.He was watching me. Quietly, his eyes on my face, giving me nothing back.Then he asked, so evenly it
Bound To The Cursed Lycan 103: ALLEGED PRINCESS OF DUSKMIRE
THEODOSA.My heart was pounding so hard I thought the shape of my chest was changing with it.I had no idea what had happened outside. Hale had done something to Nala. That was all I knew. Was she even okay? I looked between Xahen and the front door.There was no one coming to save me.Xahen bent down and picked up the butter knife. He twirled it in his grip, staring at it. Then his eyes lifted to me.He looked at my wrist first, pinned above my head. Then down to my face. His eyes trailed over my freckles the way he always did, cataloguing them. Then his gaze shifted to my neck and stayed there.His eyes moved across my throat slowly, and I realized he was looking for something.I thought about this morning. Him waking up and finding me underneath him and trying to kill me in the next breath. And I wondered if that was what he was thinking about right now.He said nothing yet though. His eyes moved away. He fisted the knife and lowered it to his side before turning around. Then
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 57: NOT A GENTLEMAN
THEODOSA. I refused to flinch. He wanted me to cower. To stammer and blush and prove that I wasn’t serious about this. That I was just some desperate girl who’d crumble the moment he pushed back. I wasn’t going to give him that. “I want my brother released,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “Se

THEODOSA.Obsidian in the daytime was a different beast entirely.The streets that had felt like a death trap my first night here were now just streets. Busy ones filled with people who looked like they had places to be and things to do. Stall vendors shouted over each other trying to attract custo

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

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,
