Chapter 14: Bound

Darkness surrounded her. It was a comforting, merciful darkness, making her blind so she couldn’t see his empty eyes, staring lifelessly over her shoulder while she held him. Still entangled in her dream, she realized that his weight was gone now, and she didn’t feel him leaning heavily on her body anymore. She had lost him.

Igraine sensed that she was lying on a soft surface, but when she tried to sit up something hindered her, forcing her to stay down. She began to struggle against the unknown presence that held her imprisoned, crying helplessly like a child while the pain washed over her like a wave. But then she felt the warmth of the strong arms that were holding her pinned to the ground, pulling her backwards until she lay molded to a large male body. A deep low voice murmured soothing words into her ear. Although she didn’t understand their meaning, they calmed her, and she lay still at least, sobbing.

“Wake up, Igraine,” Elathan said. Hugging her close, he turned her gently in his arms until she faced him. “I am here. Look at me.” He felt her unbearable pain, her fear, but didn’t know the reason. A simple nightmare would never cause this amount of distress.

Reluctantly she opened her eyes, unable to say if she was still dreaming. It was impossible. He had just died in her arms, she had been with him until the end. But it was his voice, his scent, his body, so warm and alive. “Come back to me, mo ghrá.”

My love. He had used the endearment without thinking about it. But why? She was only a human slave, even if they had shared their blood. They were as close as elf and human could ever get. Usually a royal prince chose a female amongst his elven peers. He should not even think about her unless he needed her body to satisfy his carnal needs. Suddenly he remembered his words when he had found her half-dead in the pond, murmuring that he loved her.

This was ridiculous. He was no youngster at the king’s court anymore, seeing a beautiful female and thinking himself to be ‘in love’ with her. Surely it had been caused by his shock when he found her drifting in the water, nearly dead, so soon after he had sworn to protect her.

He had only let Igraine out of his sight for a few moments, and she had so easily managed to run into three of the most dangerous creatures inhabiting the forest - the water nymphs -who didn’t cope very well with female competition, especially when it came to him. Well, there had been a few very enjoyable encounters with them, but it had been centuries ago. It lay in their nature to be possessive, and he hadn’t minded until they had tried to kill what was his. He drew back his lips into a sneer. He would show no mercy with the surviving two nymphs if they ever dared to cross his way again.
