"Does it cost you something?"

작가: Malaika
last update 게시일: 2026-03-27 05:04:53

Wren was sitting cross-legged on the cot when I got back, watching me with that particular patience of hers — the kind that means she's already decided to wait you out.

She waited until the guard's footsteps disappeared down the corridor.

"Well?"

I sat across from her and looked at my hands. Turned them over. They looked exactly the same as they always had. Ordinary. I didn't know what I expected — some mark, some sign of the thing I still didn't have a name for. There was nothing.

  • Bound To The Enemy Alpha    The True Luna

    The air outside was cooler than the room I'd left.I stood for a moment on the path, letting the quiet settle around me, letting the words I'd said in there finish reverberating in my chest. I didn't feel triumphant exactly. I felt — cleaned out. Like something that had been sitting in me for a long time had finally been said out loud and the space it left was unfamiliar but not unwelcome.I started toward the sleeping cabin.The path was familiar by now — Ronan's territory had its own logic, its own way of organizing itself, and I'd learned it over the past weeks the way you learn any place you spend enough time in. The main paths, the quieter ones, the spots where the trees thinned and you could see the sky properly.I was halfway there when I heard it."Please…"A voice. Weak, strained, coming from the left of the path where the undergrowth thickened near the base of the older trees.I stopped."Please… help me…"I turned toward it slowly.The figure was hunched at the base of a wi

  • Bound To The Enemy Alpha    Standing My Ground

    The planning space had become something between a war room and a negotiation table, which meant it was both productive and uncomfortable in equal measure.Maps on one side. Wren's schematics on another. A list of resources that grew longer every time someone added something and shorter every time someone crossed something off. Kael sat at the far end with the focused stillness of a man turning a large problem into smaller ones. Ronan stood to his left, tracking the patrol routes with the patient attention of someone who had done this before and knew how long it took to do it right.Lobos sat across from both of them and said very little, which was its own kind of statement.I set the book on the table.Everyone looked at it."My mother's," I said. "I took it before we left. It has wolf treatments — remedies, healing compounds, things that have been used in pack medicine for a long time." I opened it to the section I'd already marked. "Some of these can be produced in quantity. Healing

  • Bound To The Enemy Alpha    I've Missed You

    Wren looked different.Not dramatically — she was still Wren, still had the particular distracted energy of someone whose mind was always partially somewhere else, still talked with her hands when she got excited about something. But there was something in the way she held herself that hadn't been there before. Steadier. Like she'd found the ground under her feet and stopped being surprised by it."You're different," I said, when she opened the door."Good different or bad different?""Good," I said. "Definitely good."She pulled me inside with the enthusiasm of someone who had been waiting for this and wasn't going to pretend otherwise. The space was exactly as I remembered it and completely different at the same time — the same walls, the same cluttered worktable, but the worktable itself had multiplied. Three surfaces now covered in components I didn't have names for, drawings pinned above them, notes in Wren's cramped handwriting covering every available margin."You've been busy,

  • Bound To The Enemy Alpha    When Do We Leave

    The usual meeting spot had become exactly that — usual.I wasn't sure when it had happened. Somewhere between the breach and the poisoning and the aftermath of all of it, Elara and I had found a corner of the territory that belonged to neither of us specifically and had started using it as the place where the real conversations happened. Not the ones for councils or guards or elders. The ones where we said what we actually thought.She was already there when I arrived."You're thinking about the healing," she said, before I'd sat down."I'm thinking about a lot of things.""Start with that one."I looked at her hands. The burns had faded from livid to something quieter but they were still there — still visible when the light caught them at the right angle, still present in the way she held things sometimes, the slight adjustment she made without acknowledging she was making it."Every time they come," I said, "you pay for it. The first breach — your hands. What you did to bring me back

  • Bound To The Enemy Alpha    Then I’m Wrong

    I woke before dawn and didn't go back to sleep.That wasn't unusual. What was unusual was lying there and not immediately moving — staying in the dark with the ceiling above me and the sounds of the territory settling into its pre-dawn quiet and letting the previous night replay without trying to organize it into something actionable.The fight. The clearing. The moment the first man had stopped and looked at me with shock that wasn't performed — genuine, involuntary, the expression of someone encountering something they'd been told wasn't there. The captive, gone. Lobos tied loosely to a tree with an expression I still couldn't fully read.And underneath all of it, running like a current: the fragment of voice from the window. They're beginning to suspect. We need to lay low.I got up before the thought could finish resolving and went outside.Elara was already there.Not waiting for me — just there, sitting on the low wall near the eastern path with her hands in her lap, watching th

  • Bound To The Enemy Alpha    The Captive

    The sighting came in just after dawn.Two of them — eastern tree line, moving fast, already inside the boundary marker before the patrol registered the breach. I heard the report and was moving before the guard finished delivering it. Not because I was fully recovered. Because it was my territory and I was done letting things happen inside it while I stood somewhere else.The eastern approach was familiar ground. I knew every tree, every shift in terrain, every place where the light came through wrong and made distance harder to judge. That was the first thing that bothered me — they moved like they knew it too. Not hesitantly, not mapping as they went. Directly, purposefully, toward the interior of the settlement rather than the perimeter.That wasn't reconnaissance. That was a route.I intercepted the first one at the junction near the old storage shed. The fight was brief and more aggressive than skilled — he came at me hard, which told me either he was genuinely dangerous or genui
