All Chapters of Honor in the House of Wolves: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The world was different when the sun began to creep over the trees and shine a rationed light through the canvas of the tent. His hands stayed wrapped around me and my leg stayed around him. I felt like this was where I needed to be but of course what I wished and reality were going to come clashing the moment I heard the rest of the camp start to stir. “Shit!” He gasped and threw himself up causing me to hit the ground, “Sorry,” Nok looked back and grabbed the first thing he could find to toss my way, “Please cover yourself up.” “Uh… okay?” The sleep was hardly out of my eyes, my hair was a disaster, and he seemed to be more interested in getting away from me. “Just-” huffing he slowed down and took a few breaths, “Sorry, I just wasn’t expecting last night.” “You think I planned it?” I laughed back but in my heart the pain was growing once more. I felt severed, cut off from something. My mind was far more open though like I was far more than ever before. “Please dont-” he cho

“Oh isn’t this touching,” Sylis sneered. She had gotten what she wanted though and she took a step back with a flash of victory. “So you have been sleeping with him. You flaunt that disrepect for your family, your friends, and your country, but I guess it shoudl surprise me. You were always the weaker of us all.’ turning back she addressed teh crowd again, maintaining that higher ground perspective while still directing all her anger at me, “She was the outlier in all of this. Guess it makes sense she would continue to sleep her way into a powerful position.” Nok grabbed my arm before I could jump on the scoundrel and pulled me back as I fell into Dreyma and Sage’s hands their fists closing on each of my arms, “Fox bloods aren’t usually so outright stupid.” he took a few steps forward and Sylis’s smile quickly faded. “We gave you plenty of options and freedom.” Suddenly I was reminded of Alfred, the towering intimidation seemed to be a family trait that he was going to show in full f

Less than a week later we were all woken up by a scream through the air. It vibrated off the barrier causing it to twinkle with a fury of hatred. “What the fuck was that?” Dreyma looked over to me and I shrugged. “The barrier does that some times.” Celeste answered as Akzol stayed at her side. “We don’t know why but sometimes it seems like it have it’s own feelings.”“Is it anything to worry about?” Sage looked over to her next. “Probably not for us.” Akzol laughed, “Humans might not like it though.”“We don’t know what it does,” Celeste answered tossing a stick into the fire, “We don’t question it either. We’ll get nervous if we see the barrier shrink, until then it’s not our concern.”My days blurred together. It would start with breakfast where my solemn silences were well received by Anju and Emnore. Myself and the rest of the changelings that stayed trained together. Nok was more than happy to show them how to truly fight and once every so often I would get lucky and pin him.

I rested against him with my mind both exhausted and clearing. He always seemed to put a spell over me when we were connected and it was difficult to know what happened and what was just imagined. Luckily he was usually better at recovering to fill me in. “You don’t have to agree to have children with me.” He hummed as we snuggled on the floor him wrapped around my backside providing me warmth and cover, “I didn’t mean to think about what Alfred had said.”“I’m not promising.” I chuckled feeling the guilt weighing on my mind. He didn’t know, the truth and maybe if he had I was worried he’d leave me. So rather than confess that I was barren I decided to provide him the illusion of a possible future, “Much too soon for that.” I pushed my ass back against him happy to see it was accomplishing its job of warming him back up, “You’re a fun past time though.”“Fun?” I felt him whisper into my ear as he nuzzled his face into my hair, “how about enjoyable? Exciting?”“You know how to keep me

The door opened wide this time and Nok started walking. Stay next to me. Dreyma and Sage took advice from their training and stayed a few steps behind me. We had no idea if this was even the proper protocol anymore but it was the best choice was had at the moment. Yuki was nowhere to be found though I had a sneaky suspicion as for why and was not about to question anything. I dropped the idea of her from my mind. If Dimitris could really read minds as Nok claimed, finding out we had a hidden person in the shadows might have been seen as an act of aggression. The throne room was substantial to say the least. Marbled pillars lined the long rectangular room leading up to a crystal glass ceiling that allowed even more light to fill these halls. To my right a line of windows behind hundreds of faces that were judging me. I couldn’t see too much behind them but I figured it was some magnificent garden where parties could be celebrated. We continued making our way up to a large black platf
