The Binding Chapter Ninety One
The threadsSaxaEverything goes white.Not lightNot darkness.Just pressure.The moment Elias’ hand touches me the entire system screams. Magic ripping through the clearing like a storm breaking open the sky. The threads that had been tightening between us suddenly flare so bright that for one terrifying second I think they’ve snapped.Then—I see them.Not with my eyes.Not with the way I see the snow beneath my paws of people standing in the clearing.Something deeper opens.And the world changes.The valley explodes into lines.Thousands of them.Maybe millions.Thin glowing strands weaving through the ground, through the trees, through the bones of the mountain itself. They move like veins beneath skin, pulsing with slow ancient rhythm.Every thread humming with the same power.The same source.The same direction.The mountain.My wolf stumbles sideways. The sudden flood of sensation slamming into my brain so hard my claws carve trenches into the snow.I can hear people talking,

The First TurnSaxa“Oh, my children,” he says softly. “You already are.”For half a second the world holds perfectly still.Then the mountain answers.The vibration that had been humming quietly beneath our feet all night suddenly deepens, rolling through the valley like distant thunder. Snow shivers across the clearing as the earth trembles beneath our feet.My wolf freezes.Not from fear. From recognition.The sensation crawls up my spine and explodes behind my ribs like lightning striking bone.Something inside me wakes up, Elias gasps next to me.The sound is sharp enough to slice through the air.“Saxa—”His voice breaks. I turn my head slightly, ears flickering toward him.And my wolf sees it.Light.Not the soft glow his magic usually carries.This is different.The glyph beneath his skin is blazing now, the lines burning through the fabric of his shirt like molten metal.Elias stumbles backward in the snow.“What the hell—” Ingrid breathes.Another pulse rips through the grou
The Binding Chapter Eighty Nine
The Man in the SnowSaxaFor a moment after I saw the words, no one moves.Kasper is here.The room seems to be shrinking around us. The lantern light flickers against the walls, the shadows stretching and folding like they’re trying to listen.Outside, the figure stops moving.Just beyond the porch.The snow beneath his bare feet doesn’t even seem disturbed.My wolf surges hard against my ribs.The sound that leaves my chest isn’t quite a growl yet—but it’s close.“Don’t,” Eirik says quietly behind me.Too late.My hand is already on the door knob, feet guiding me to my father.The old wood groans when I yank it open. Cold air slams into the room, sharp and biting, carrying the clean, crisp, fresh smell of snow. With something else hiding beneath it.Magic.Old.Heavy.The mountain shakes the ground the moment my boots hit the porch.Behind me I hear chairs scrape violently.“Saxa—” Gran starts.But I’m already out. The snow crunching under my feet as I step off the porch and into th

Movement in the TreesSaxa“Eirik!”Her voice cracks down the staircase above us, sharp. Urgent.Every head in the room snaps upward. For half a second no one moves. Then Ingrid’s voice comes again, louder this time.“There’s something moving through the woods!”The words slam into the archive room like a gunshot. Eirik is already moving before she finishes her sentence. The chair legs scrape violently across the stone as he shoves away from the table.“Where?” he calls, halfway up the stairwell.“North side!” Ingrid shouts back, “I saw it through the window—someone’s watching.”My wolf surges instantly, claws scraping under my skin as adrenaline floods my veins.“Is it someone from patrol?” Gran calls out.“No!” Ingrid yells back.The single word echoes down the stairwell, too fast. Too certain.“Stay behind me,” Eirik mutters over his shoulder.Like that’s ever going to happen. I’m on the stairs before he reaches the top. Cold air slams into my lungs the moment we burst out of the
The Binding Chapter Eighty Seven
The Second HandSaxaNo one answers me right away.Elias is already pulling the ledger closer again, dragging the lantern with it so the light falls directly across the page.The paper crackles softly as he smooths it flat. He doesn’t look up. “Give me a second,” he mutters.The room holds its breath. Gran hasn’t moved from the chair she collapsed into earlier. Her hands are clasped so tightly in her lap the knuckles have gone white. Kaia steps up beside Elias, silent, watching.Eirik stays near my shoulder, one hand resting lightly on the table like he’s grounding himself.Elias flips the page back.Then forward.Back again.The sound of paper turning is suddenly the loudest thing in the room, finally he exhales slowly.“That’s… interesting.”What little is left of my patience snaps. “What?”He tilts the page toward the lantern and gestures with one finger. “Look at the ink.”At first I don’t see anything.But then, I notice the difference.The earlier entries sit lightly on the pag
The Binding Chapter Eighty Six
What he ChoseSaxaFor a long time after Elias reads the date aloud, no one speaks.The lantern crackles softly against the stone wall. Dusts floats through the warm light like ash suspended in water. Somewhere above us the mountain hums faintly through the ground, the vibration so low it barely registers unless you’re already listening for it.And right now—I can’t hear anything else.The page still rests in Elias’ hand.The night we were born.Gran slowly lowers herself onto the edge of the stone table like her knees suddenly forgot how to hold her upright. Her face has gone gray beneath the lantern light. “No,” she whispers again.But the word doesn’t carry conviction anymore. It just sounds like grief.Elias drags a hand over his mouth, staring down at the spread of papers like they might rearrange themselves if he looks long enough.“They planned it, they planned all of it.” he mutters.Kaia hasn’t moved.Her eyes are locked on the bundle of witch-script documents still resting
