When I looked up, Enyo was kneeling at my side.

She gently took the cloth and needle from my hands and started sewing without making a fuss.

"Do not let them see you weep," she murmured. "It only encourages them to hurt you further."

I stared at her, wondering why she'd risk helping me after what her sister had done.

"How is your sister this evil?" I whispered.

Enyo stopped sewing.

Her eyes widened, and she leaned closer, glancing towards the other women.

  • Bound by the Monster I Created    Chapter 27: The Scent of Betrayal

    I climbed from the water, and Cade accompanied me without another word.He took a thick linen cloth from the side table and began drying my body. His fingers moved like he had performed the task countless times, though the marks upon his throat had grown darker.When he had dried me, he clapped his hands.Two servants entered bearing my garments. They bowed before us and surrendered the clothing to him.Cade dressed me in my dark tunic and leather garments before settling the heavy cloak upon my shoulders. The servants bowed once more and withdrew, shutting my chamber door behind them.I turned towards him. “Have my horse saddled.”Cade inclined his head. “Whither does Your Majesty intend to ride?”“To the seer. I shall have her examine this cursed bond once more. Let her swear before the gods that the Wakefield Lass is indeed my mate.”Cade raised his gaze towards me. “My king, your beast has recognised her wolf. Such a bond bears the decree of fate.”“Perhaps he is driven by naught

  • Bound by the Monster I Created    Chapter 26: The Rejected Bond

    Valdman's POV“Mate.”The cursed word scraped against my tongue like rusted iron.“Mate. Mate. Mate.”My beast had plagued me with that infernal declaration since the bond awakened. I pressed my palms against the sides of my alveus, my fingers digging into its carved surface as my beast continued his torment.Had the thirteen years I spent among the Rogues not satisfied the gods? Must I now suffer the indignity of being commanded by the creature dwelling within my own flesh?‘You shall have no such Lass,’ I warned him. ‘Cease this torment, lest I find cause to curse the day we shared a soul.’My beast snarled, and the same wretched declaration returned.A roar broke from my chest.I seized the golden goblet resting beside my alveus and hurled it against the wall. The vessel struck the stone with a resounding clang, spilling wine across its surface.The three maidens washing my body recoiled at once. Their hands withdrew from my skin, and they huddled together, trembling as they stared

    Enyo gestured towards the passage, and I leaned out just far enough to see who was approaching.Elric was marching through the courtyard with a group of armed warriors.They carried swords and spears, their armour making metallic sounds as they walked. Nobody was chatting or looking around. They moved together, following Elric with the sort of determination that made me wonder if they were preparing for battle.I drew back behind the pillar. "What's going on? Why does Elric have all those warriors with him?""I cannot say," Enyo whispered. "But I fear there may be an execution. I must learn what has occurred."An execution?I looked towards the passage, trying to work out who might have angered Valdman so badly to warrant a procession of armed men. Elric wasn't exactly known for his kindness, and the sight of him leading those warriors made me reluctant to investigate.Enyo waited until the footsteps had faded before gaping at me. "Remain here, Princess. Let no one discover you. I sha

    "What the hell are you doing naked?"I pointed at the men standing behind the scholar, trying to keep my attention on their faces when the man in front of me was displaying something I had absolutely no desire to see."And why are they here? What's going on?"None of them spoke. They continued staring at me, and the way their eyes travelled over my bandaged body made me wish I could pull the entire rug over myself.I needed to get out of this room, but the only door was behind those men. Maybe I could distract them by screaming that there was a snake somewhere. If they looked away, I might have a chance to slip past them.I almost laughed at my own stupidity.A snake? Against werewolves?These idiots could probably snap one in half without breaking a sweat. I was dealing with creatures who could overpower ordinary humans without trying, and my brilliant escape plan involved frightening them with a reptile.I scratched the back of my head and managed a strained smile while looking arou

    I'd make them fated mates from the beginning.That was perfect. Werewolf romance readers loved fated mates, and if Valdman recognised Azalea as his mate on her eighteenth birthday, perhaps the story would develop differently.No more suffering through his revenge, no more mines, and no more wondering if the man I'd written as a romantic hero would kill us before we got anywhere close to falling in love.I dipped the quill into the ink again and began writing from Azalea's perspective.'On my 18th birthday, which was the best day of my life and the gathering of my family, I found out that my fated mate was Valdman Wolverton. He was the most handsome man, the kindest man with a calm temper, and without trauma…'I smiled at the words.Now that was a Valdman I wouldn't mind meeting.Imagine him being kind, actually treating Azalea like a person, without the terrible memories that made him want to destroy everyone around him.Perhaps I could finally experience the romance I'd intended to w

  • Bound by the Monster I Created    Chapter 22: The Scholar's Room

    I stopped right in front of the young man holding the scroll.My heart was beating so hard that I could barely concentrate, but I'd already approached him, and backing away now would only make me look suspicious."Can I have a parchment and a quill?" I asked, and the entire hall went silent.I hadn't expected such a reaction to a question about writing materials. The women stopped sewing and stared at me, some with their mouths slightly open, while others exchanged startled glances.Oh, come on. I'd asked for parchment, not permission to murder the king.I glanced around, wondering if I'd accidentally broken another ridiculous law. Nobody had explained all the rules to me, and apparently asking for something as harmless as writing materials was a serious offence in this kingdom.Still, I wasn't backing down. I needed these people to cooperate because getting my hands on parchment was the only chance I had of testing my plan.The scholar surveyed the silent hall before directing his at
