Elio tried to take my will the same way he took my life.

The corridor fight still raged around us, steel clashing against steel, shouts echoing off the damp stone walls. Rebel wolves pushed hard toward the cell, their eyes wild with desperation. Rhydian held the main line, his presence a wall of strength against the tide of attackers. I stood near the heavy door with the silver blade ready, my body aching from exhaustion but my resolve unbroken. Then the mental link flare

  • I Was Made From What You Couldn’t Let Go   Deeper Cracks

    Lorne is gone again.The corridor fight ended in the early hours, the last rebel wolves either down on the stone floor or in chains. The cell door remained locked, Elio still inside, his body curled on the floor from the weight I had pushed through the link. But Lorne had slipped away during the final push, using the chaos to escape. Guards reported seeing him run for the outer walls and disappear into the mountain paths, his dark figure swallowed by the predawn mist.Rhydian stood in the main hall with blood still on his sleeve, his face drawn with exhaustion and frustration. "The uprising is suppressed for now. The ones we caught will answer for their crimes. But Lorne escaped into the mountains. He always finds a way out, always slips through the cracks."I stood beside him, my body aching but my mind sharp. "He will try again. He wants Elio free. He wants a puppet in charge of this pack. This is not over. It will never be over until we address

    Elio tried to take my will the same way he took my life.The corridor fight still raged around us, steel clashing against steel, shouts echoing off the damp stone walls. Rebel wolves pushed hard toward the cell, their eyes wild with desperation. Rhydian held the main line, his presence a wall of strength against the tide of attackers. I stood near the heavy door with the silver blade ready, my body aching from exhaustion but my resolve unbroken. Then the mental link flared open without warning, a sharp intrusion that made me stagger.Elio's voice slid into my head, smooth and cold and dripping with false sympathy. "Drop the weapon, Soren. You do not need it. Let them free me. You have suffered enough already. Open the door and step aside. I will make it quick."I gripped the blade tighter, my knuckles white. "Get out of my head. You do not give me orders anymore. You do not control me."The pressure increased, his will pushing against mine t

  • I Was Made From What You Couldn’t Let Go   Dungeon Breach

    The dungeons are compromised.We reached the pack house just after dawn, the midnight lilies safe in the waterproof bag, our bodies still heavy with exhaustion from the journey through the Weeping Fens. The return should have been quiet. Instead the lower levels were full of shouting and the unmistakable sound of fighting. Guards ran past us toward the subterranean corridors, their faces tight with alarm.Rhydian grabbed a passing wolf by the arm. "What is happening? Report now. Who is attacking?"The guard was breathing hard, his eyes wide. "Lorne Voss is back. He brought rebel wolves with him, at least a dozen. They broke into the deepest dungeons. They are trying to free the prisoner. The one we thought was just a spy. They are heading straight for the deepest cell."I felt the cold hit my chest like a physical blow. "They know. Or they suspect the truth. Lorne wants Elio free. He wants to put him in power as a puppet they can control fro

  • I Was Made From What You Couldn’t Let Go   Rain and Real

    This is the first time I feel like myself with him.The mist still clung to the Weeping Fens after the fight, swirling slowly around the stone markers like a living thing. We had made a small camp near the old stones, a low fire burning between us to push back the damp chill. The midnight lilies rested carefully in a waterproof bag, their fragile petals protected from the lingering moisture. My body felt heavy from the exhaustion of the day, the old illness and the binding both pulling at me with equal force. Every muscle ached. Every breath took effort.Rhydian sat close, his presence steady and warm. He checked the cut on my arm from the earlier struggle, his hands careful and deliberate as he cleaned the wound. "You are exhausted. The fight took more than you want to admit. Sit still. Let me finish this before you collapse."I watched his face in the firelight, the shadows dancing across his features. "I am fine. Just tired. The swamp toxins and

  • I Was Made From What You Couldn’t Let Go   Alone in the Mist

    The feral wolves hit us the second I cut the first lily.I had the midnight lily in my hand, the fragile white petals with black edges still dripping with swamp water, when the howls started. Low and close and hungry. The mist split and six feral unaligned wolves charged from the trees, their eyes blazing yellow in the darkness. No pack colors marked their fur. No rules bound their actions. Just teeth and rage and the desperate hunger of those who lived in the lawless neutral lands.Rhydian shoved me behind him with a shout. "Stay back! I will clear them. Do not engage."He lunged forward to meet the charge, but the ground gave way under his foot. A specialized trap snapped shut around his ankle with a sickening crunch. Thick iron and silver wire wrapped tight, biting deep into his flesh. He went down hard with a shout of pain, his body hitting the mud with a heavy thud."Rhydian!" I yelled, already moving toward him."The trap is sil

  • I Was Made From What You Couldn’t Let Go   Poison Path

    The Fens are trying to kill us both.The mist hung thick and green over the Weeping Fens, so dense that I could barely see three steps ahead. The air burned my throat with every breath, acrid and wrong. The ground sucked at our boots with each step, trying to pull us down into the soft mud. Water moved under the surface in ways that did not make sense, flowing against itself, bubbling up in places where no current should exist. Rhydian walked ahead of me, his shoulders tight with tension, his nose wrinkled against the foul smell that permeated everything."I cannot scent anything," he said, his voice rough and strained. "The toxins are everywhere. My wolf is completely blind in this place. The air is too thick. Too wrong. Every instinct I have is screaming that we are walking into a trap."I stopped and tested the air myself, breathing deeply despite the burn. The poison hit me differently than it hit him. My lungs still ached from the old illness
