SCENTBOUND Chapter 21 - Trapped
The corridor was coming apart around us. Concrete cracked and fell in sheets, pipes burst, spraying scalding steam. The purge wasn't just deleting data it was collapsing the entire facility. "Maintenance shaft's that way!" Kael shouted over the noise pointing left. The ceiling groaned, concrete and rebar tore loose and slammed down between us dust choking the air, the room split in two, my father and Dr. Varn on the other side, I couldn't see them. "Lucien, my father -" "Look at me, let's get out of here first, I will go look for him myself, don't worry he will be fine." My eyes were heavy with tears that I couldn't let out, I was so afraid my father was going to die there but I had to get out safely so I could save my father. Lucien grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the shaft. "Move!" We ran Behind us Kael dropped into a defensive stance, eyes scanning for movement shaft was a narrow, rusted ladder leading down into darkness. "Go," Lucien said, shoving me tow
SCENTBOUND Chapter 20 - Extraction
The central lab smelled like antiseptic and burnt wiring. Cold steel tables, monitors blinking with data I didn't want to understand. My father was strapped to the center table, eyes closed, chest rising and falling too fast, electrodes ran from his temples to a machine the size of a fridge, humming with a low wrong frequency. "Rian." Dr. Elias Varn stepped out from shadow, he was in his late 50s, lab coat, eyes too sharp for a man who hasn't slept in day. He smiled like he'd just found a rare specimen. Lucien stepped forward, putting himself between me and Varn. "Let him go." Varn's smile didn't change. "I can't do that, Mr. Voss, not when he's the key." His gaze slid past Lucien to me. "Come closer Enigma, let's see what you can do." My shoulder burned, my pheromones were unstable again, reacting to the machine's frequency, the air felt heavy like before a storm. "Turn it off," I said. "Not until I get what I need," Varn said. "Your father's brain chemistry is uni
SCENTBOUND Chapter 19 - Infiltration
Lucien's expression went still. "They have him," He said quietly. "And they're using him to make sure I come out," I said. Theo stepped forward. "Where is this?" "Facility K-9," I said. "The same place they took me." Lucien looked at me. "We go," he said. I nodded. There was no other choice but as we went to the car I felt it, a shift in my scent, uncontrolled and unwanted. My Enigma pheromones were raising again and this time, I wasn't sure I could stop it. The car smelled like blood and rut. Kael drove with both hands on the wheel, jaw tight. Theo sat in the front seat with one hand on Kael's laps, the bond between them was new and raw and every jolt of Kael's tension hit Theo twice as hard. I sat in the back seat with Lucien arm around my waist, my shoulder pressed against his side. "Talk to me," he said. "About what? the fact that my father's in K-9 and we are driving straight into a trap?" "No, I just wanted to know how you feel about everything," he said.
SCENTBOUND Chapter 18 - Breakfast And Ash
I woke up because Theo's breathing changed. Not that sharp inhale he used to do when nightmares had him by the throat, just soft like his body finally figured out we are not in danger anymore. Safe and warm. I crack one eye open, he was curled against my chest, face all relaxed for once, his scent hit me, clean and sweet, his Omega scent but calm. For weeks, waking up meant, to check locks, hand on a weapon, but today I wake up with an arm full of Theo and zero panic. I grinned into his hair. "morning mate, you were snoring." Theo mumbled into my chest, voice all rough from sleep and tiredness. "I don't snore, you snore like a bear." "An S-class Alpha bear," I corrected, smiling. He laughed the kind that used to get knocked out of him back when we were running, it vibrates through our bond and hit me right in the ribs. Warm, bright and happy. Theo tilts his head up, he stared at me with his beautiful big eyes. "Kael, I thought when I opened my eyes, you would be gon
SCENTBOUND Chapter 17 - Rut And Bond
KAEL POV I dropped to my knees in front of him, my scent was sharp with distress and restraint. "Look at me," I said. "Theo look at me." Theo couldn't. I reached out, cupping his face. "I'm here, I am not leaving you." Lucien stood behind Rian breathing hard his scent was changing again, cedar turning darker, heavier. His hands closed around Rian's wrist, his jaw clenched. In my hand Theo let out a broken sob, my control snapped. I pulled Theo into my arms holding him tight, murmuring low in his ear. My scent flared, Alpha, protective, possessive. "I have got you," I whispered. Theo shuddered against me, clinging like he was drowning, I looked up at Rian, eyes wild. "If i don't mark him, he will hurt himself or worse." We all understood, without a bond, an Omega in full heat could tear themselves apart trying to find relief. "Then mark him," Rian said. My face went blank with shock. "Are you sure?" Lucien asked behind Rian. His voice was dangerously qui
SCENTBOUND Chapter 16 - Collapse
"Get in the car," Lucien told the merc, voice dominant. The merc turned and walked to the SUV like a puppet. Lucien shut the door behind him and turned back to me. "Rian, breathe." I couldn't, my chest was tight, my heart racing, the wound burned but it was the pheromones that scared me. I'd never lost control like that before. "Look at me," Lucien said. I forced my eyes open. cold, steady, anchoring. "Breathe with me," he said. "In. Out." I did once. Twice. The pull receded, my scent settled Lucien exhaled like he'd been holding his breath too. "Good," he said quietly. "You're okay." I wasn't okay, my shoulder was on fire and fir the first time I was scared of what I could do without my control. Kael was now at the back seat, Theo still in his arms. Theo's eyes were wide and scared but clear, he couldn't do anything to help. "You good?" Kael asked me. "Define good," I said voice shaky. Kael nodded once. "That'll do." Lucien helped me to my feet, one arm around my w
SCENTBOUND Chapter 11 - The Illusion Of Safety
RIAN POV The safehouse sat at the edge of a dead orchard, twenty kilometers past the last city checkpoint. One floor, no windows on the ground level, Lucien called it off-grid I called it a tomb with plumbing. But it had a lock that worked, a generator that hummed and no Task Force drones in t
SCENTBOUND Chapter 9 - Breach
RIAN POV The alarm didn't scream, it humed. I was awake before it finished its first cycle, that's what years of running does to you. Lucien was already on his feet, gun in hand, moving toward the door. Kael was outside, shouting orders I couldn't hear through the reinforced steel. "Stay
SCENTBOUND Chapter 8- Moving Targets
RIAN POV Dawn came too fast. No sunrise through the safehouse windows, just the artificial grey of pre-dawn and the low hum of the city waking up without us. Lucien had the car idling out back by 5:12 Kael was already checking out the main exits, moving like a man who had slept with one eye o
SCENTBOUND Chapter 7- Quiet Before
The safehouse did not feel safe. It was too small, too bare - one bed, one bathroom, a kitchenette that looked like it had not been used in years, Voss Biotech owned a dozen of places like this. Lucien called it off-grid and I called it a gilded cage with better locks. Theo was two rooms down, s
