Outrage proceeded to humiliation but then I felt the vibration of his silent laughing, and a heartbeat later his thumb began caressing the back of my scarred hand in little circles, kindling the heat in my core higher. “Stop.”

His hand stilled. “Stop? Talking. I bit my lip.Stop asking me questions, was what I meant.”

“Ah.” He resumed the little circles, sending a shudder through me even as I realized my demand wasn’t fair. Tristan had every reason to be wary of me. I’d blown hot and I’d blown cold, rode him like a monster obsessed by passion, just to yell at him to keep away from me. He should desire nothing to do with me because I was entangled and inconstant, yet he remained at my back. I might die today.”

Tristan stiffened, then he asked gently, “Is that why you want me to stop asking questions? Because you dread death?

The wind howled as Alpha Octavia’s snoring deepened. It was a marvel that all those surrounding us didn’t rouse. Yet no one stirred, which meant I ha

    Dawn dawned as we lay panting in each other's arms, hidden now only by the furs covering us. Though I knew I should go, that there had to be distance between us before others awakened or it brightened enough for the scouts on duty to see well, I did not want to. I was still in Tristan's arms when Alpha Octavia yawned and sat straight since I felt for the first time in so long happy and safe in them. "Morning, Andronika ," she replied, staring at me to indicate that we had not been half as covert as I had intended. Blood flowing hotter this morning? Still connected are fingers and toes?True. The word came out as a squeak as I knew Tristan was closer, for all Alpha Octavia was close. "I'm rather healed."Tristan snorted, then sat up, dragging my trousers up over my bare arse with the action. He then reached under the furs to withdraw my hands, which he scrutinized in the increasing light. My skin was inflamed and my fingertips were white and waxy, yet I still had sensation.“Can you g

  • Bloodbound Destiny    THE FIGHT AT TENDON 1

    I’d seen more dead men than I could count, victims of raiders who’d come to plunder from my people. To slaughter my people. To kidnap my people and convert them into slaves.But this was different. This time I was the raider. My throat ached and I swallowed vomit even as I turned to Alpha Orion, ready to inform him that my feet were too wounded for me to battle. To buy time to seek out alternative means to seize this castle except by assault. But before I could answer, he replied, “The time for retreat is over. Now we fight. Send up the signal.”All around us, the warriors sloughed off the things they did not need, taking shields from their backs and drawing swords, the marks on their faces enormous and scary when a heartbeat before they’d been merely ashes and paint.Alpha Octavia pulled a pot from her luggage and approached me, lifting the lid to show blue paint. With her fingertips, she coated the area around my eyes, then traced little drops down my cheeks. “They say Freyja kisse

    The battering ram crashed into the gate with a bang. But that was nothing compared to the explosion above us. In my peripheral, I saw liquid erupt in all directions as my magic resisted what must have been boiling water, steam clouding the air.Back! Everyone slid backward at Alpha Orion's roar, falling over the bodies of two who’d been struck by arrows, and I tried to retain my feet. Fought to maintain my shield in place, for if it parted from the others, they’d lose the protection of my magic.“Heave! Alpha Orion yelled, and we ran forward again, the battering ram swinging on the ropes hung between a dozen men. With each pass, soldiers fell to arrows, the terrain turning into an obstacle-filled sludge.It was chaos. My breath came in frantic rushes as I focused on where I walked, my feet slipping in the muck. Boom!The thunderous sounds of additional boiling water blasting off my magic shocked my ears immediately before the battering ram impacted.I swayed, catching myself against T

    Do you know how many times you almost died,” he snarled. “How many men came at your back while you were lost to a bloodlust? How many times I cried your name and you never heard?I bared my fangs, still lost to the wrath. I didn’t want to find my way out, because if I did, I knew there would be a reckoning. So I turned away, yelling, “Where is Cassius? Where is your Alpha who brought blood and ash upon you rather than swear fealty to the Alpha king of Southern region?”Andronika! Tristan snarled, but I ignored him, advancing between the buildings. My voice had a weird singing tone as I crooned, “Come out, Cassius. Where are you? Vaguely, I was aware others had joined Tristan. I heard Alpha Orion begging that I hush myself, but I disregarded them all as I searched.Then a familiar guy with an axe appeared out between the buildings, a dozen blood-spattered warriors following him, all looking at me carefully.“There you are, Cassius.” I offered him a bloody smirk. I thought I was going

    “Andronika ?”A soothing voice crept through the door, but rather than answer, I rolled over in bed and buried my face in the furs. Just like I’d done for the preceding many days. At first, it had been tiredness that pushed me to my bed, but it had developed into a yearning to avoid facing what I’d achieved.Or rather, how I’d achieved it. “Andronika ? It’s Philomela. I was hoping to speak to you.” Go away, I wanted to shout. Leave me alone. Because the last thing I intended to do was recollect the capture of Tendon. Alpha Octavia falling. Losing myself to the wrath.The stillness lengthened, and I prayed the skald had given up. Go away. Then her sweet voice replied, Alpha Orion has ordered me to speak to you before I finish my composition. fucking Alpha king Orion. I bared my teeth into my pillow, knowing that I had no right to be upset because it had been me who permitted him to acquire the title.“Andronika , Lyra’s voice penetrated the walls. “Open the door.” I sighed because the

    I stood looking at the slabs of wood for a bathed myself with water that a servant had brought at some time, then wore a clean outfit. I unfastened the knots on my braids, brushing my fingers through until my hair flowed long and loose down my back.The door creaked as I opened it and I winced, though I wasn’t completely clear why. Perhaps because I felt unclear about whether I truly wanted to reenter the world, required my initial steps to be taken without attention. Stepping out, I pushed the door shut, and then nearly jumped out of my skin as I glimpsed a person from the corner of my eye.“Tristan,” I muttered, my heart pounding. “Andronika .”Tristan was reclining against the wall, but at his feet was a neatly rolled cot and a half-empty water cup. I swallowed hard as the knowledge that he’d been outside my door filled me. “Please tell me that you haven’t been sleeping out here.”He raised one shoulder. “My father is concerned for your well-being.”My teeth bit firmly into my bott

    “I see your leg is healed.” Extracting myself from his clutches, I stepped inside, observing that the home was considerably superior than anything Declan could have afforded for himself. Large and full of heavy wooden furnishings, it had undoubtedly belonged to one of Cassius’ men killed in combat. Perhaps one I’d killed.Shoving aside the notion, I waited for Tristan to lock the door behind him and then answered, “Why are you here, Declan? What lunacy led you to come to Tendon, and to bring Eleanor with you no less?”My brother made a frown, moving away from me to collect a silver cup of wine resting on the enormous table. Alpha Orion told me I could return to his war band when I could walk. I can walk, therefore here I am.And Eleanor is my mate —her place is by my side.” Eleanor’s gaze flickered back and forth between us. Andronika , the Alpha was pleased for us to come. He gifted us a room in this house. Said that was apt, considering we are family now.”Behind me, Tristan snorted

    A stage had been built in the middle of the square at the heart of the citadel, and it seemed every last man, woman, and child in Tendon had come to witness Philomela perform her ballad.Not that I was shocked. To hear a child of Bragi sing was more than entertainment; it was a luxury precious few would have the opportunity to experience in their lifetimes.Not only were the stories the Skalds recounted with their songs passed down from generation to generation, but so too was the pleasure of hearing the song directly from the Skald’s lips. Because one didn’t just hear, one saw.That was the section I was afraid of since seeing the tunnels going to Vadan had been horrible. This would be a lot worse.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,” Tristan stated from where he stood to my left. “I won’t fault you.”I’ll fault myself. I squared my shoulders.I lived it, which means that I can watch it.”I had to. Needed to see what everyone else had seen that had triggered this strange

  • Bloodbound Destiny    TO A BRIGHTER TOMORROW

    My bed was undulating under me, rising and sinking as though I’d had too much to drink, the sensation sending a rush of nausea through me. “Tristan,” I muttered, attempting to reach out to him. Except I couldn’t move my arms, scratchy rope locking my wrists together. My eyes jerked awake and brightness pierced into them like knives. At first, all I could see was white, but as I furiously blinked, my eyesight cleared to show the hull of a ship, booted legs all around me. Memory entered my head, of Alpha Maximus and his men arriving in the cavern. Of the reality of Tristan’s allegiances being revealed. Of corpses on the ground all around me, dead by my curse. Of Philomela, blowing smoke into my face as she betrayed her real loyalties. “Good to see you’re finally awake, Andronika . Alpha Maximus’words entered my ears, and I turned over, gazing up to meet his light gray stare. Where am I? “On a ship,” he said with a slight smirk, teasing me with the obvious. Then he lift

    Good morning, Andronika .Alpha Maximus grinned, tucking a curl of golden brown hair behind his ear.It fills my heart with joy to see you hale and healthy after such a terrifying plunge. I confess, we feared the worst when Melisande knocked you into the water. But I should’ve known better than to distrust Tristan.” To distrust Tristan. His words pierced into my heart, locking me in place even as I heard Tristan emerge out of the cave behind me. Felt him take in the image of Alpha Maximus with his soldiers standing nonchalantly behind him, Tristan’s voice stiff as he said, “Why are you here?” A question I was profoundly worried he already knew the answer to. “We feared you might have been injured, so rather than allowing you to bring her to us, we came in search. Alpha Maximus took a step closer.While I understand your actions, they were too risky by far.You may have both been killed.” A low drone of noise filled my ears and sickness twisted in my gut, ideas rising and fal

  • Bloodbound Destiny    HER DOUBTS

    I woke to morning light peeping in through the branches Tristan had used to hide the entrance to the cave, my ears filled with the sounds of trickling water, chirping, and Tristan breathing in my ear, still asleep.A joyful smile bloomed on my face, the purest kind of bliss widening my chest, and if not for the strain on my bladder, I’d have allowed myself to fall back to sleep. Sighing, I carefully lifted the thick arm draped over my belly, the fact that he didn’t so much as twitch telling to the depth of his sleep.Outside, morning had already come and gone, the sun over the horizon and the summer air heated. Nothing stirred except the light breeze in the trees, yet I heard the chatter of squirrels as they yelled at me for interrupting the quiet of the morning. Taking care of my requirements, I crept back into the cave to find Tristan still asleep, eyelashes dark where they rubbed against suntanned skin, his hair a tangled mess.As was mine.Frowning at the tangle that was my braids

    I groaned softly as he put a finger inside of me, felt his chest rise as he discovered my moisture, my yearning. The thought began to stray as my blood raced quicker through my veins, his cock firm against my behind as he pleasured me. He’d told me everything I needed to know— that he wanted the future I dreamt of for us, and all that was left was for me to believe that he’d never lie to me.And I did trust him.More than anyone. Everyone else lied and twisted and used me to attain their aims or to protect themselves, leaving me cold and alone, but never Tristan. He was ever and always the rock at my back. My love. My life.Twisting in his arms, I straddled him, my knees pressed against the furs as his hands massaged my thighs. Firelight lighted half his face, the other half shadowy, but all of it so lovely I felt I would weep. “I love you,” I said, bending forward to kiss him. I trust you.And I wanted him.The urge to be filled throbbed deep in my sex. I stroked against him, slick

    Every bit of me for all of eternity. I held his neck as he slammed into me again and again, with each stroke the base of him pushing against the region his thumb had abandoned. My claws ripped his skin, my heels pressing into the tight muscle of his arse as I dragged him into me, my climax teetering on the verge.Tristan kissed me, our teeth smashing together with the power of it, his tongue running over mine as he pushed into me, breathing hot and quick. Then his hands grasped my hips, nearly dragging me off the rock as he thrust deep.Release burst over me like a storm. Like a hurricane that would break the earth apart, my body quivered as it bathed me in ecstasy, drawing me back under each time I breached the surface. Never had I felt anything like that, the feeling washing away sight even as it drenched me in color, my ears full with the sound of my name on Tristan’s lips as he climaxed, flowing into me in a deluge hotter than the seas we swam in.He buried his face in my neck, mo

  • Bloodbound Destiny    HIS FOREVER

    Tristan murmured my name as I stroked him root to tip, and heat that had nothing to do with the hot springs erupted in my core. The side of my palm caressed my slippery sex as I pumped his length, and I leaned back, thrusting into it even as I felt my climax grow. I want you in me,” I whispered, but Tristan seized hold of my wrists, his voice a snarl as he replied,I think first I must prove my worth, love.In that moment I may have sworn that nothing could flame my desire more than the way he’d shouted love, but then Tristan took me farther into the cavern, putting me down on a slope of rock worn smooth by water running from another chamber above. It was nearly hot enough to burn, running in rivulets of fire over my throat and breasts, between my legs, but I hardly felt it when Tristan split my legs wide, exposing me.A breath kept too long within my lungs, shuddered free as I glanced at him, massive and powerful as a god between my legs, ready for him to plunge into me. Waiting for

    And lest he misinterpret my message, I seized hold of my mail and raised it over my head, tossed it aside, the tunic and undershirt I wore beneath fast following, baring my peaked breasts. Tristan snarled, his eyes black as he sank to his knees, grabbing the tip of one of my breasts in his teeth. I gasped as he sucked it deep, teeth nibbling to the point I couldn’t tell if it was pleasure or agony, just that my thighs were sticky with the yearning for more.Not just more of his hands and lips on me, but mine on him. I wanted to taste that taut tattooed skin, to dig my claws into the firm curve of his muscles, to run my palm over his huge cock.So I pushed him back, stepping down into the pool, the heat of the water searing my skin as I backed further. “It’s hot,” I mumbled, reaching down to remove one shoe and then the other, flinging them past Tristan even as I held him in place with my eyes.As I took a step further, the water came to just above my hip bones. I unlaced my trousers,

  • Bloodbound Destiny    OPEN CONFESSION

    Your father didn’t visit?” Tristan’s jaw was constricted. “Only when he wished for answers from her. My existence was the source of a great deal of friction between Lyra and him, so he never took me to Mystic Rune pack.”I hesitated, then added, “Did they not suspect you had god’s blood? My mother knew. He swallowed. “She forbade me to speak Thor’s name. One of my first recollections is of mom telling me that to do so would set me on the path to losing people I loved to fire and ash.He shook his head. “She painted these visions in my head of people screaming, people dying, and everything was always burning.”It was hard to hear that. Not only because she’d been correct, but in the attempt to prevent the doom she’d prophesied for him, Sage had filled her child’s brain with horrors that I felt persisted even now.“I was asleep one night,” he said.My mother shook me awake and told me to hide, pushing me under some blankets in a chest. Moments later, I heard a man’s voice. Heard him m

    My stomach surged to my throat, my eyes plunging, down, down to the lethal froth of water and pebbles. A scream erupted but as it tore from my lips, it was Hlin’s and Freyja's name that spilled forth.Magic rushed from my hands, first enveloping Tristan and then my own body with silver light. A heartbeat later, we hit.Even with their protection, the impact forced the air from my lungs. And there was nothing to fill them as we soared higher, then ,we were pushed down into the riverbed again, the water trapping us in its ceaseless churn.Spinning us around and around till I didn’t know which way was up. My elbows touched rock but instead of the water drawing me higher in its relentless loop, Tristan tightened his grasp on me, pushing me along the riverbed.I needed to breathe.Desperate, I battled his grasp. I needed to reach the surface. Needed a gulp of oxygen even if it meant the falls taking me back under a second later.Tristan pulled my arms to my ribs, pulling me along the river
