The Loop of Return and the Fox's Binding Kiss
Every time Marcus drove the blade through her chest, Lia would feel the world dissolve into swirling mist, pulling her back to three days before—when her sister Elena would drag her up the jagged slopes of Mount Silverpeak, screaming that Lia had stolen their family’s fortune and their parents’ hearts.
For seven loops now, Marcus had appeared just as Elena pushed her toward the cliff edge. He’d stop the fall, but his touch would send Lia vanishing into nothingness, only to wake again in her childhood bedroom with the memory burning in her veins. She never understood why he hunted her, why he saved her only to end her life moments later.
This time, as Elena’s fingers dug into her arm and the wind howled below, Lia didn’t struggle.
