Re-bound

The pounding on the door bounced around the hall. Violet was in there. Her heartbeat was steady. The wind circled the corridor, and the door flew open.

“Nice dramatics.” Tad strutted in, no longer surprised by the glossy-stark room.

“Mutt, close the door behind you.” She waved her hand around in the air above her head.

Tad left the door open and crossed the shiny floor to the silk-robed witch. He peered at her. Interesting, he picked up on no fear from her. He wasn’t an alpha, but the anger radiating off of him would upset most. He stood across from her on the edge of the orange circle that dominated the room.

“I don’t get this sitting-on-the-floor thing.”

“Visual clutter.” She motioned for him to sit across from her on the other side of the circle. He reluctantly sat.

“How’s this comfortable?” Tad sat in his borrowed scrub pants; he’d almost worn shorts today.

“I have no need for comfort. You came to talk to me about my aversion to furniture?”

“No.” She knew why he’d come, of that he had no doubt.

“You’re experiencing some side effects of the ward containing the visions and memories you retained?”

“I am.” He studied his pristine loafers.

“And you would like the offending feelings removed?”

“No. I don’t want the feelings removed. I’m furious that I wasn’t allowed to have them to begin with. I’m questioning who I even am now.”

“This isn’t my story to tell.” Violet reached across the circle to touch his hand. He didn’t flinch from her touch, but he didn’t welcome it either. She pulled her hand back. It might not be her story to tell. But he wanted, no, needed it.

“Your mother and her friend—you want to understand how they intertwined into your father’s pack? How they came to live with the enemy?”

Tad shifted in his seat—a clear signal he didn’t like the word.

“To most witches that’s what they are: the enemy.”

“My mother found love with my father, the alpha of the pack.” Something about their marriage never sat right with him.

Violet lifted her head. “Why aren’t you the alpha of the pack, mutt?”

“I was too young. It’s not what I would have wanted, anyway.”

“Or your pack. They knew. They know what Lara is. Not all of them. She’s tried to keep it from so many. It’s been told that a witch and a wolf would marry and that the war would end. But what the vision doesn’t tell us is how. Or if the witches come out on top. There are a lot in the community that don’t want the war to end if we can’t see the victor. That’s why the two hid who they are. Why they bound your magic. And they were married before the war. Part of the cause, even. With your protection down, there would be those who would find you. Those who would attack to keep the status quo. Not only witches, but others. Trolls . . . even the fae don’t want the war to pick up again.

He flinched.

“Ah, you didn’t understand.
