Therrin's POV

Therrin's breath caught in her throat as the air around her shifted — a cold, yet strangely electrifying presence filling the room. The shadows deepened, folding in on themselves like dark petals unfurling, and from within them, the Mistress emerged, her eyes gleaming with ancient knowledge and something darker, something hungry.

"You are stronger than you know," the Mistress whispered, voice both velvet and steel. "But strength without control is chaos. I will teach you to command what lies within."

Ari seethed in the back of Therrin's mind, her voice sharp and bitter. Don't listen to her. She's poison.

But Therrin felt the pull — the power, the promise.

"What must I do?" she asked, voice trembling with both fear and a rising hunger.

The Mistress smiled, a slow, dangerous curve of lips. "First, you must surrender — not your body, but your mind. Let the shadows speak, and learn their

  • Bound by Darkness: Shadowborn   Web of desire

    The Mistress’s POVThe glade breathed beneath the pale silver of the moon, leaves trembling in the soft whisper of night air. Every rustle, every scent was a note in a symphony composed entirely for me and my intent. I lingered at the edge, letting the shadows cradle me, letting them conceal the quiet smile curling at the edge of my lips. She was there, finally. Therrin, alive and teetering on the precipice of curiosity and caution, unaware of how close she was to my design.Her every step was deliberate, cautious, but her pulse betrayed her. I could feel it, a faint tremor through the threads of magic she carried. A delicate, shimmering line connecting her to the world, to herself, and now, to me. She had been trained, yes, but not fully yet. Not enough to resist entirely. The brand had taken root, subtle but unyielding, like a vine weaving through the soul it had claimed. Soon, very soon, she would bend entirely to my will.I stepped forward, allowing th

  • Bound by Darkness: Shadowborn   Faltering Steps

    Therrin’s POVThe forest around me breathed like it had a pulse of its own, the wind whispering through the trees in patterns that both soothed and unsettled me. Each step along the mossy path felt heavy, though my feet barely sank into the ground. My thoughts were heavier still, tangled in knots tighter than any branch or root I brushed past. I had always believed I knew myself—my fears, my desires, my limits—but now, I was adrift, and each heartbeat reminded me that certainty was an illusion.Dion. Ciaran. The Mistress. Three names that should have held meaning, but instead, they wove a confusing tapestry of longing, fear, and guilt in my chest.Dion. He was warmth and laughter, a steady pulse in the chaos of my soul. The way he touched me, the way he saw me, it wasn’t just desire—it was reverence. His patience, the way he let me stumble through my own darkness without judgment, made me ache in ways I didn’t fully understand. I craved him, yet I could no

  • Bound by Darkness: Shadowborn   Shadows Stir, Goddess Calls

    Grimm’s POVThe forest had moods, and Grimm knew them all.This one was wrong.It wasn’t the clean kind of silence, the kind that came after fresh snow muffled every sound, or when a summer storm sat heavy in the air, waiting to break. This silence was the breath before a predator pounced. The air was sharp, metallic on the tongue, and beneath it was something else — something old, patient, and far too aware of him.Grimm padded through the undergrowth, his paws barely whispering against the damp earth. Each step was deliberate, weight distributed so the forest barely registered his passage. Above, the canopy swayed in a restless wind, leaves whispering a language older than mortals. He listened — always listening — but what he wanted to hear wasn’t there.The birds hadn’t returned since dawn.The squirrels that normally chattered insults from the branches were gone.The forest was holding its breath.He had been shadowing Cia

  • Bound by Darkness: Shadowborn   The Shadows Question

    Ciaran’s POVCiaran had never liked silence.Not the natural kind—he could live with the hush that came after snowfall, or the muffled calm of dawn before the first birds found their voices. That sort of silence was alive, layered with whispers the patient could learn to hear. No, what unsettled him was the other kind—the silence that didn’t belong. The silence that swallowed breath and heartbeat alike, that pressed in from all sides like a predator’s shadow.That was the silence sitting on his shoulders now, heavy as stone.He was alone, or at least he thought he was. The forest around him was thick with the smell of damp earth, the air still damp from an earlier rain. The clouds had pulled apart just enough to spill moonlight across the clearing where he stood, but the light didn’t reach far. Beyond a few paces, the trees looked like an army of blackened sentinels.Ciaran drew in a slow breath, forcing himself to listen. No rustle of le

  • Bound by Darkness: Shadowborn   Inside the Divide

    Ari’s POVThe world felt sharper from here, more intimate, yet unbearably fragile. I moved as she moved, every step, every tremor, a note I couldn’t ignore. Being inside her was both a blessing and a curse. I could feel her heartbeat, rapid and uncertain, a storm contained in a fragile cage of skin and bone. Every breath she drew was mine as well, and every flinch, every hesitation, hit me like a drum against my chest.She stopped at the edge of the glade, letting the sun warm her face. I watched, trapped in her awareness, as she raised her arms toward the light, stretching slowly, almost worshipfully. It should have been peaceful. The grass bent beneath the soft wind, the trees whispered secrets I could almost hear, and the river in the distance laughed its gentle song. But there was tension in her shoulders, and that tension sang to me more insistently than the babbling brook.I wanted to speak—to push my thoughts into her mind—but restraint was necessar

  • Bound by Darkness: Shadowborn   The Glade of Choices

    Therrin’s POVTherrin stepped lightly through the forest, the soft moss underfoot cushioning each careful step. She didn’t know exactly why she had come, only that something inside her ached for a place untouched by chaos. The scent of pine and wet earth hung heavy in the air, mingling with faint traces of wildflowers. The forest whispered around her, leaves rustling in a rhythm almost like breathing.Eventually, she stumbled into a glade that seemed as though it had been waiting just for her. The clearing was small and secret, surrounded by a ring of ancient trees whose branches arched high, creating a cathedral of leaves. Sunlight poured through in golden shafts, glinting against the small stream that curved lazily through the middle. The water sparkled like scattered diamonds, and the soft hum of life—birds trilling, insects buzzing, the wind whispering—pulled her into a fragile serenity.She sank to the grass, letting the softness beneath her absorb so
