The Wolf behind the desk Chapter 25: The Fusion
I woke to the sound of the fire. The logs hissed. The orange light danced on the cave ceiling. The paralysis was gone. My fingers felt warm. My toes moved. The blood flowed through my veins without the sting of the bees. I felt my skin again. The cold of the stone floor pressed against my back. The heat of the flames hit my face.Rian sat by the fire. He was a shadow against the light. He held his knife. He sharpened the blade on a stone. The sound was rhythmic. Slide. Flip. Slide. He did not look at me. He knew I was awake. The bond pulsed between us. It was a low hum. It felt like a heavy wire vibrating in the wind.I sat up. My muscles felt stiff. They did not fail me. I leaned against the rock wall. I pulled the coat tight around my shoulders. The scent of woodsmoke and wolf clung to the wool. It was his scent. It filled my lungs.You are awake. Rian spoke without turning his head. The sound was a low rumble.I am awake. I said. My voice was clear. The croak was gone.How does the
The Wolf behind the desk Chapter 24: The Thaw
The cave felt like a mouth. It was deep. It was dry. The stone walls looked like jagged teeth. Rian led me into the shadows. He moved with a limp. His bitten arm hung at his side. The blood had stopped. The skin looked purple.He dropped his pack. The sound echoed. He looked at me. He did not speak. He began to gather dry wood. He found old pine branches in the back. He found dried moss. He built a small pile.He struck his lighter. The flame flickered. It caught the moss. The orange light grew. It pushed the darkness to the corners. The heat hit my face. My skin felt tight. The river water evaporated from my clothes. I started to shake.The cold was leaving. The pain was arriving.Rian watched me. He sat on a flat stone. He pulled his boots off. He poured the water out. He set the boots near the fire. He removed his soaked shirt. He wrung the fabric. The water hissed on the hot coals.The firelight showed his body. The bruises looked like ink. The scars on his chest looked like si
The Wolf behind the desk Chapter 23: The Siege
The howling outside moved closer. The sound felt thick. The noise vibrated in the floorboards beneath the bed. One wolf began the call. Eleven others answered. The pack formed a circle around the stone cabin. They knew the Alpha stayed inside. They knew the Vessel stayed with him.Rian ignored the noise. He focused on my face. He gripped my shoulders. His fingers dug into my skin. The pressure felt sharp. He shook me again.Wake up. He spoke the words into my ear. His breath felt hot. His voice sounded like gravel grinding. You need to move. You need to fight. Use the bond. Reach for me.I stared at his eyes. The gold light in his pupils flared. I screamed inside my head. My throat stayed closed. My lungs pulled air in short gasps. I felt the paralysis. The weight felt like lead. My mind pushed against the stone wall of my nerves. Nothing moved. My body stayed a statue.Rian let go. He stood up. He moved to the center of the room. He looked at the dead scouts. He reached down. He
The Wolf behind the desk Chapter 22: The Silent Scream
The carving on the wall terrified me.It sat in the corner. It was low on the baseboard. The fire flared. The mark flickered in sight. It was a crude circle with a slash through the middle. Someone etched it into the pale pine wood.The sap inside the groove was wet. It glistened like amber in the firelight.Someone had been here today.I lay on the rusted bed frame. I stared at the mark. My eyes burned. I needed to blink.Rian stood by the hearth. His back was to me. He had taken off his shirt. The firelight played over his bruises. They bloomed purple and black across his ribs. The bandage on his shoulder was soaked red.He stretched. The muscles coiled. He was healing. The power was knitting him back together.I lay here rotting.He turned around. He held a battered metal cup. Steam curled off the surface."Broth," he said. His voice sounded wrecked. "I found dried rations. It smells terrible. It is hot."He walked toward me. His boots were heavy on the floorboards. He did not l
The Wolf behind the desk Chapter 21: The Silent Tomb
The scratching started at the bottom of the sealed entrance.Scritch. Scritch.It was the sound of bone-hard claws testing the stone.I lay on my back. The stone floor was uneven. A small, sharp pebble dug into my shoulder blade. I wanted to shift my weight. I wanted to move my arm.I could not.My body was a heavy, dead thing. My brain sent the signal. Move the finger. The signal hit a wall of static. My finger remained still.I was locked inside a corpse that was still breathing.The scratching stopped. A heavy, wet sniffing sound replaced it.Blackwood was right there. He was inches away. He smelled the fresh earth. He smelled the heat of our bodies trapped inside.The rock wall vibrated. He was pushing against it.I stared at the ceiling. The darkness was thick. It had weight. It pressed against my open eyes. I could not blink. The moisture on my eyes began to dry. It stung.The vibration grew stronger. A low growl permeated the stone. It wasn't just a sound. It was a physical fre
The Wolf behind the desk Chapter 20: The Cold Choice
We slammed into the thick trees. The impact was brutal. We tumbled down the rough, rocky embankment.Rian rolled over me. He shielded my body with his own. His weight was massive. It pressed the air from my lungs.The station collapsed behind us. The sound was a final, deafening crash. It sent a plume of dust and pulverized concrete into the morning air.We were alive. We were concealed.Rian’s arms tightened around me. He was panting. He was bleeding from new cuts on his face. He pulled back slightly. He scanned my body for injuries."That was not a human ability," Rian gasped. "You stabilized the structure. You controlled the matter through the bond.""What does it mean?" I asked. My voice was a shaky whisper. I felt drained.Rian's eyes were fixed on the smoke rising above the cliff edge. He saw the shadow of Blackwood approaching the ruins."It means," Rian whispered, his voice dark with absolute necessity, "you are a weapon. And you are dangerous to yourself."He pulled me up. He
