The Bond, the Breath, and the Beginning

The world came back to Lena slowly, like a lantern flickering to life in a room long drowned in darkness.

At first, there was only warmth.

Not feverish heat, not curse burn, not the searing agony that had torn through her body moments before this warmth was soft, steady, and strangely familiar. It wrapped around her like a cloak, like a promise whispered from another lifetime.

Then came the scentcedarwood, rain, smoke.

Damien.

Her breath caught before she even opened her eyes.

A shadow shifted beside her, tense but gentle, as if afraid to breathe too loudly. The air hummed with a quiet, anxious energy that could belong only to one man.

“Lena…” His voice was barely a whisper, raw with fear and relief all tangled together. “Please… wake up.”

She opened her eyes.

Damien’s face hovered above hers pale, battered, but breathtakingly alive. His normally sharp, stoic expression was completely undone. His eyes held nights of grief and centuries of yearni

    The Bond, the Breath, and the BeginningThe world came back to Lena slowly, like a lantern flickering to life in a room long drowned in darkness.At first, there was only warmth.Not feverish heat, not curse burn, not the searing agony that had torn through her body moments before this warmth was soft, steady, and strangely familiar. It wrapped around her like a cloak, like a promise whispered from another lifetime.Then came the scentcedarwood, rain, smoke.Damien.Her breath caught before she even opened her eyes.A shadow shifted beside her, tense but gentle, as if afraid to breathe too loudly.

  • Silent Contract Rearing Mates    Chapter 9

    Dusk rolled in on a sudden storm, cold winds rattling the old mansion’s bones. Lena felt the shift before she heard the thunder, her nerves alive with a strange, fierce resolve. Damien caught it too. They met at the bottom of the grand staircase both out of breath, both scared, sharing a wordless fear neither could name. As rain hammered the windows, Lena’s promise to stay with Damien braided their fates into the heart of the storm.“It’s happening,” Damien said, voice low, eyes bright with the silver glow of the curse.The whole house shuddered. Candle flames jittered and stretched. The air pressed heavy on their skin, charged with something old and electric.“The Binding Moon,” he whispered.Lena swallowed hard. “What does that mean?”“It means the curse peaks tonight. It’s hungry to finish the cycle to end what it started centuries ago.”A pulse of magic surged through Damien. He gritted his teeth, doubling over briefly.“Damien!” Lena caught him.He shook his head violently. “Don’

    After the Anchor Mark awakened, time seemed to slow. Each heartbeat drew Lena further into a fate she’d never chosen and bound her more tightly to Damien’s world. But it wasn’t only the distance between them that shifted.It was awareness. Connection. Consequences. On the first night, Lena jolted awake to the quiet sound of someone else breathing. Her pulse hammered in her ears. Silver moonlight spilled across the floor from the balcony, washing over Damien as he stood motionless, bare-chested, his eyes faintly glowing like the curse was still alive inside him. “Damien?” she whispered. He drew a sharp breath, his body rigid. “I felt pain,” he murmured. “From you.” Lena’s hand flew to the Anchor Mark. “I didn’t ” “You dreamed,” he said. “You cried.” Her voice wavered. “How did you know?” “This bond,” he said quietly, “lets me feel what you feel. Like your emotions are my own.” Lena didn’t answer. She couldn’t. The truth was, she had dreamed. She saw the endless corridor of past lives,

    The mansion had always loomed grand, echoing, thick with secrets. But after the ritual, after Damien confessed to memories that were never his, the halls changed. Now, every carved pillar and moonlit corridor seemed to watch Lena, their silent awareness pressing in, waiting for her to notice.Or perhaps it was she who had changed.The change began quietly.A whisper in her dreams the first night.A warmth beneath her skin, the second.A soft glow, the third.By the fourth morning, Lena knew something was wrong.She faced the tall, antique mirror in her guest chamber, fingers trembling as she eased down the collar of her nightshirt. Beneath her skin, a faint shimmer pulsed an ember longing for air.A mark.A silvery, swirling sigil just below her collarbone.Alive.“Lena?” Damien’s voice came from the doorway rough, tired, and careful. He knocked softly even though the door was open. “I didn’t want to wake you, but ”He stopped.His breath left him in a single strangled sound.Lena tur

    Lena awoke aching, her muscles stiff and leaden on the stone podium. Each shallow breath came with effort. Morning light seeped in, barely disturbing the slumbering figures around her. It took a moment to recall where she was and the pain she’d endured.Then she felt the warmth beside her.Not the burning agony of last night, but true, human warmth Damien’s warmth. The steady thud of his heartbeat was soothing. The faint scent of damp earth lingered in the air, promising solace.Her eyes opened.He lay on his side, one arm beneath his head, the other near hers. His hair, usually neat, now fell in messy strands. His lashes were still damp with tears. His breathing, uneven but alive, ghosted the space between them.Lena did not move.Something about him, in this fragile state, felt sacred.Damien had broken last night in a way Lena had never seen. Despite her experience as a child psychologist, his suffering was beyond comprehension. Watching the tension in his fingers and chest pulled

    The dawn came crimson, the sky veined with fire.Lena stood at the balcony of her chamber, the pendant at her throat pulsing faintly in rhythm with her heartbeat. The forest below was unnaturally still; not a single bird stirred, not a whisper of wind moved the pines. It was the calm before something vast and final.The Blood Moon had risen. Tonight, the curse would either break or consume them both.Damien had vanished before sunrise, leaving only a note, written with the same precision and restraint that had defined his every gesture:Do not follow me into the forest. When the moon eclipses, the beast must die or I must.The ink had smudged, as if written with shaking hands.Lena pressed the paper to her chest. Her silence, once a burden, now screamed louder than any voice could. She could feel his pain echoing in her bones, through the bond that tethered them.She would not lose him. Not again.By twilight, the mansion had become a cathedral of ghosts. The portraits on the walls se
