All Chapters of Bound by Two: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

~ SUKI ~ About a week had passed, I’d finished my school day and was trying to kill time until Rey and I could meet up. We’d barely seen each other since my birthday; he was busy with his warrior training, and I was busy finishing sixth form. When I wasn’t at school, I was doing my duties bestowed on me by my father.  In my free time, I would read a lot, but I also liked to conduct my own research on things. I was reading a lot of books about plants used in certain remedies. Not elixirs like what witches create, but genuine remedies that packs used to make back in the days of the first werewolves.  I think it stemmed from the stories my great-grandmother would tell my mum. It made me grow a fascination with alternatives to how to heal others, even if it wasn’t through the flashiness of ma

She could smell Reynard and Brendan making their way towards her. Their scents were stronger in their wolf-states. She knew she wouldn’t have long before they would be with her, but she wasn’t ready to interact with them, so she kept running. Alas, even as a wolf, she couldn’t run forever. Eventually, she came to a slow stop and waited as the two wolves approached her. Suki knew what Rey looked like in his wolf form already—chocolate brown fur that contrasted his piercing ocean blue eyes so beautifully. She had the privilege to see his wolf not long after his birthday, when he had his shifting under control. He was indeed a handsome wolf, one that many female werewolves desired. A sense of pride washed over her, knowing that he was mated to her. Rapidly, her attention switched to Brendan. It was the first time seeing his wolf, and she couldn’t help but admire his beauty as a wolf too—his fur was a deeper shade a brown, almost black, and his night sky eyes glistened, reflecting the

Once Rey’s shift was over guarding the borders, he rushed home to freshen up and went looking for Suki, who was picking herbs in the forest to help top up the witches’ resources. He knelt behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Hey, beautiful,” he murmured in her ear, nuzzling into her neck.She closed her eyes and hummed, leaning into his warmth, “Hey.” She sniffed, “Is that a new cologne?” “Do you like it? It’s too strong, isn’t it? I grabbed it accidentally because I was rushing to see you. It was a gift and I—”Turning to face him, “Relax,” she tittered, “this is a nice scent, but I love your usual scent, probably because I’m so used to it and know that when I smell it, I know you’re close. I know I’m safe.” She placed a hand on his cheek and smiled.Rey smiled. “Can I help you here?” “Actually, I’m all finished up, but do you want to join me to drop them off before we head out?” She asked, pushing herself to stand. “Maybe we should stop off at mine so I can change m

In her father’s office, Suki picked up the sealed documents and slipped them into a tote bag to take to the Alpha’s mansion later. Rey stood by the door, leaning against the frame. This is your excuse to see him, isn’t it? Her cheeks flushed, briefly forgetting that her best friend knew her all too well. No. But I wouldn’t be lying if I didn’t consider it a bonus. She held his hand, lacing her fingers between his, and looked him in the eyes. He deserves to know my intentions, too. His gaze flickered between her eyes. Suki could tell a million thoughts were going through his head, even if she couldn’t hear his personal thoughts. “Say it,” she said. “Say what?” “Whatever’s bothering you.” He sighed, “Another time, I’ve got to get to training and guard my sector.” A nod. “They’re trusting you more and more with all the responsibilities they’re giving you. I’m so proud,” she smiled, leaning into him. Reynard took her hand in his and leaned down to plant a soft k

Suki’s duty to the pack was simple—take care of the pack in any way she could. She could choose how she helps the pack, until she finds a responsibility that suits her best to do permanently. Though she found it difficult to pick just one thing to do forever, she enjoyed many of the tasks she took on within the pack. To aid as a good distraction, she chose to use her time to keep the witches’ company as they worked on brewing herbal remedies to keep on hand for any injuries the warriors and guards of the pack may encounter. Though the thought of Reynard getting hurt protecting the pack, or even just her, brought a sickly knot into her stomach. She worried for him daily, and she knew that was never going to stop. “What’s going on in your mind, Suki?” Cassandra asked. She was one of the most powerful witches in the pack and, most of all, Erin’s teacher. “Nothing,” she muttered, flicking through an old grimoire belonging to one of Cassandra’s ancestors, but occasionally glancing at he
