Simon
The stench of blood and offal combines with dust and coats the insides of
my nostrils as Doris stands and stalks away from the unrecognizable mound
of gore that was once Odette Muette. My skin crawls as though a thousand
ants are using my veins as thoroughfares, and Tálstrom growls inside me as
the weight of multitudes of stares descend upon us.
Maybe I’m just being paranoid in thinking people are looking at me as if
I’m responsible, but they wouldn’t exactly be wrong in their thoughts.
Odette’s sentence is my fault, and the responsibility of her death should rest
on my shoulders. If it wasn’t for my selfishness and ignorance in my youth,
I would never have rejected Sila as my fated mate in favor for Catherine
and therefore not needed Odette to sever my unintentional one-sided bond
with the lioness. In return, Odette wouldn’t have been so disgusted with me
that she felt I needed to suffer even more than I already did, and so she
destroyed all but eight of my existing bonds for the crime of rejecting my
mate.
She wiped out a lifetime of fraternal bonds, and the familial bonds I had
with my parents and younger siblings were badly damaged. The only ones
left relatively unscathed were the four blood bonds I held with Clan Novo
—Sila, and her mates Nox, Bash, and Kane. Luckily for me, those four
bonds kept me tethered enough to not fall into oblivion, although it was a
close call. Their acceptance and support, along with the blood bonds I then
formed with fellow lions Petra and Cyril, have been the cornerstones of my
shaky control, and the reason I’m still alive.
Well, as alive as I can be, I guess.
I scrub my hands over my face, the thick beard covering most of my skin
scratching coarsely over my palms. The stands are emptying of the crowds
who’ve come to witness today’s trials and executions while a cleaning crew
descends on the pit to take care of Odette’s remains. Once they’re done, it’ll
be Icahn Koch’s turn, and he’ll be up against Nox. I’m both intrigued by
and dreading that showdown.
Nox is notorious in his hatred of other cat
shifters, with few exceptions—Tál and I being among them. I stretch out
my back and shoulders, hoping for some relief from the agitation suffusing
the amphitheater when my attention is jerked away from the bloodied mess
being removed and over to Sila, who is spitting and snarling in fury.
“They should be on trial along with Odette and Koch. Stripping them of
their lions hasn’t made a lick of difference in their toxic behavior or
attitude, and Pounce is screaming at me to use Catherine as a sentient
scratching post. Fucking slag is lucky I didn’t tear her sulky mouth from her
face earlier.”
