Mark Of The Binding Blessing Novels & Stories

It had been somewhere else. He did not let go of my hand. The priest spoke the binding vow. I did not hear the words. The King's thumb passed over the inside of my wrist where a new bond mark was forming under the skin. He leaned in, close enough that only I could hear. "Don't flinch. Not in front of them. They will eat you alive if you let them see you flinch." The bond mark warmed. I did not flinch. He let go. Stepped back. Looked at the priest. The priest closed his book.

When I look I see a strange mark on my neck, etched in the same gold that was used in the magical binding ceremony.

Both had become Lily's welcome gifts, proudly displayed on her Instagram. At that moment, the tears I had held back all day finally fell like raindrops, and they fell without control. I realized I no longer had any reason to persuade my utterly broken heart to stay in the Sliver Lake Pack.
