A Forbidden Bond A Trip To Prison
My hands held the steering wheel as I drove us to the prison. It was my first time going there so I used a GPS. Serenity sat in the seat next to me, she looked like she was lost in thought as she stared out the window.It was her car that I was using. She insisted that I should be the one to drive, saying that she was not a very good driver. She may have been right or she just wanted me to do the driving because it was a long drive.The windows were down and the wind blew in the car, causing my hair to be blown back. I kept my eyes on the road while my mind went so many miles per hour trying to figure out what to do or what Harper or her mom would say to us. My stomach was crying for food, reminding me that I skipped breakfast. But right now, food was the last thing on my mind. I did not even know how much time I had to clean this Jacob mess before Zayn and the others would come back. Zayn had told me that he could come back any day from now and that had me on edge.“Right there,” S
A Forbidden Bond Nothing But The Truth
After thirty minutes of explaining nothing but the truth to Zayn, we sat in silence as he tried to process it all. He had a small frown on his face and kept tapping his foot on the hardwood floor. He cupped his chin in his hand and kept staring at the door.“Zayn…” “Just a few more seconds, Lara, please.” He breathed out a sigh after pleading with me to give him more time to think. After a few seconds, he finally looked at me. “You didn’t have to lie to me, you know.”I looked down at my hands on my lap. “Yeah. Yeah, I know,” I replied in a breathy way. “I’m sorry.”I then felt his arm wrapped around me as he pulled me closer to him. “I’m not mad at you. I’m just sad that you felt the need to keep me out of the loop about something as…complicated as this.” I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile. “You’re too good for me,” I said under my breath but he heard me clearly.He scoffed lightly and brought me much closer to him. Since Jacob’s blackmail, I finally felt hope and comf
A Forbidden Bond Having Some Fun
It had been two weeks since I told Zayn everything that happened with Jacob and me; about him blackmailing us into hacking the gateway so his sleeper agents could enter into Beacon. We brought Azula, Julia, Bunny, and Hamish into the fold by telling them about everything. It was shocking news to Julia and Hamish because they were not with us the night that we helped cover up the murder. But they made it clear that they were standing with us nevertheless.Even Serenity who I was not too sure of at first, made it known that she had our backs. So in the end, what did we all agree to do? We followed Zayn’s plan with our fingers crossed, of course. His plan was to do absolutely nothing, that we should ignore Jacob and continue with the merger. And that was what we did. We trusted what Zayn said, that Jacob did not have a shred of proof or evidence and that he was bluffing. Well, it looked like it was true because it had been two weeks, the merger was officially over and all the demon p
A Forbidden Bond The Gala
This was the hugest event that I had ever been to. I thought the outside of the building was grand, but the interior was breathtaking. Everyone looked so regal and important. There was a live band playing beautifully and catered dinner. Even the waiters were wearing suits. The decor of the place was very classy and impressive. I did not feel like I belonged there. Yes, I was the future queen of the demon people but deep inside, I was still an omega. I was still a low-ranked werewolf. And that made me feel out of place. There were demons and werewolves everywhere that I looked. And the great thing about it was that nobody was alone. There was no awkwardness and everyone was sociable.“You good?” Zayn noticed my timidness and held my hand. His calloused hand wrapped around my hand and it shook away my nerves away. Reminded that Zayn was by my side, I now stood with my head held high. “Yeah, I am now.” I gave him a small warm smile. We walked side by side as we followed Ashton to wh
A Forbidden Bond JAIL
It was like time stopped. My mouth became dry like sandpaper and my heart was pounding in my chest. I tried to speak but could not as one of the officers placed handcuffs on my wrists. He made it tighter than I was comfortable with but this was no time to complain.Everyone was looking at us and there were gasps and indistinct murmuring from the guests. When I blinked, it was like I was pulled from my shock and right back to the harsh reality of what was happening. The other officer had handcuffed Zayn and the lady introduced herself as a detective and began to read our rights to us. “Excuse me? Excuse me?!” I heard Ashton’s voice. He came running with Zoe by his side. “What the hell is going on here?” “Your friends are being arrested, that’s what’s happening. Now if you want more information, sir, kindly follow us to the station,” The detective informed Ashton, and Zoe started crying. The officer gently pushed me forward and I started walking. They did the same to Zayn and we wer
A Forbidden Bond I Plead Guilty
I blinked rapidly for a few seconds and the detective repeated her question. I rubbed my thumb over my nails as a way to distract myself from how anxious and nervous I was. “No, you promised me,” I spoke and she squinted her eyes as a way to show her confusion.“What?” She blurted out. “You promised me. You told me that if I answered your question about the October 28, 2020 picture, you might answer mine.” I reminded her, and she smiled. “I want to know how you got that picture.” She clicked her tongue and adjusted herself in the chair she was sitting in. “First of all, I did not promise you. But nevertheless, I am going to answer your question.” I smiled lopsidedly. “Thank you.” I had a very strong feeling that the person that handed in the picture was Jacob. It had to be. All of this was his work. He was taking revenge. “This picture…” Detective Stone held up the image. “And along with all the other pieces of evidence we have against you and your friends were handed in anonymou
A Forbidden Bond Game Over
I am not going to lie, I had always wondered once or twice a year how I would look in a jail uniform. It did not cross my mind a lot, but it had a couple of times. There was no need to wonder again because I was now wearing one; a jail uniform. It was a jumpsuit and it had a solid gray color. I wore crocs most of the time on my feet and I kept my hair in a messy bun almost all the time. The food here was not bad but also not good. But I guess that was prison life.It was way less scary than I thought. But in saying that, I was not trying to say that it was a flower garden either, I was still sh*t scared most of the time. Prisons were a place where criminals and bad people were held as a way to pay for their wrongs and be given the opportunity to change and become better. They could be violent places but homicides behind bars often happened when warning signs were ignored or people were knowingly put in dangerous situations. It had been a week since I had been here. I can’t count
A Forbidden Bond Some Good News?
I heard a small ringing noise in my ear and then voices. The voices would get louder for one second and just suddenly get very low. My breathing was leveled and my eyes were closed. I felt a dull pain in my throat and my body felt heavy. In a few seconds, I opened my eyes slowly and the light blinded my vision. It did not take long and my eyes adjusted to the light around me and I realized that I was in a room. I was not far from the window and the bed I was on was not too comfortable. “She’s awake,” I heard someone whisper, and I looked in the direction of the voice. I saw two ladies and from the way they were dressed, they looked like nurses. One of them had a small notepad in her hand and a pen in the other while the other nurse had some medical instruments in her hand. I think I knew what was in her hands but I forgot the names. The one with the notepad was darker in complexion and kept a warm smile on her face as she approached me. “Hi there. It’s great to see you awake.” He

“Come on, guys. You have Lara and me out here waiting like kids waiting to open up gifts on Christmas morning!” Zayn exclaimed, causing everyone to laugh. The door suddenly opened by itself and my eyes widened mildly. “Did that door just open by itself?” I took a step back, and Ashton and Zoe were amused by my reaction. The door opened wider and a golden retriever jumped out of the car, almost giving me a heart attack. “Gosh!” I exclaimed as I held Zayn’s arm tightly. “I’m not going to lie, I was a bit startled when that dog came out.” Zayn laughed lightly. “So that’s the surprise, huh? A doggie.” Zayn bend down and played with the dog. I had a small fear of dogs. One bit me when I was a kid and since then I have been terrified of them. No matter how cute and cuddly they were, I stayed my distance away from them. The golden retriever kept licking and jumping on Zayn like it had known him for years. “The doggie is a surprise but not for you guys, he’s for the kids.” Ashton
A Forbidden Bond Bonus Chapter~ 41
It was Christmas day, the 25th of December. Werewolves were howling in celebration even though it was the sun that was up. Carols were being played and families were together. The air was warm, the sky was crystal blue, and the day was perfect. Where did the Werewolf Territory take the concept of Christmas when we believed in the Moon goddess? We adopted it thousands of years ago when humans once lived amongst us. They celebrated our holidays and so we did the same, as a show of respect. That was when the word Christmas entered the vocabulary of the Werewolf Territory. And since then, we have celebrated the day and passed on the tradition from generation to generation. The Christmas tree in the living room was lit up and gifts were scattered under it. All the kids were up and sat eagerly next to their presents, waiting for us to give them the go-ahead to start opening up them. The air was filled with anticipation and joy. A hot cup of chocolate sat in my hand and Zayn was drinki
A Forbidden Bond Bonus Chapter~ 40
My claws immediately sprang forth from underneath my fingernails, and a growl escaped my mouth. “What the hell are you doing here? You should be in prison.” I was on the verge of wolfing out. It was not like I felt threatened by Jacob, but I did not like the fact that he was in our mansion without us even knowing. The kids were literally right across the hall from there. “Please. Please calm down and let me explain,” He begged. He placed the box of chocolate on the kitchen island and took a step toward us.“Not another step, buddy. I won’t hesitate to rip you to pieces.” Zayn threatened him, and he gulped as he nodded. My wolf had not gotten any real action for a while and it was yearning for some. I usually trained in the training room with Zoe and the others almost every Saturday though my wolf wanted more. “Start explaining.” I breathed out a short sigh as I continued to keep my wolf at bay.“Okay. Okay. But first, promise not to kick me out, please?” His eyes were pleading. I

‘You can’t save me, she-wolf.’ The words echoed in my head as I stared into Alex’s sad eyes. He looked convinced that he was beyond saving and that seemed to scare me a bit. He was too sure.“But at least let me try,” I begged him. He scoffed. “What are you even going to do? Bring my wife back?” He rose to his feet. “For now, Lara, just let me try to figure out the journey I’m on emotionally. I will go back to my pack…eventually.” “Okay.” I did not push him. And he did have a point. What was I going to do to save him? I was not a superhero. I did not have special powers. I was just a she-wolf that cared deeply for people.And apparently, that was called a hero mentality; wanting to help everyone to the point where sometimes I didn’t even regard myself. Alex may have said it while he was lashing out but I think he was right: He had been a leader way longer than I had. I may have been queen but that was just a nice coating, deep inside, I was still an omega. “It’s kind of late, I th

A few seconds of silence filled the home theatre because the cartoon could not play forever, obviously. The projector was now off and the fancy inbuild lights on the ceiling were on. Alex sat next to me and played with his fingers nervously. He looked slightly uncomfortable but a look of determination also could be seen on his face. “For starters, I have two questions.” I began, and he turned his full attention to me. “Shoot.”“First one is what you mean when you said that I have earned the right or privilege to ask you about anything?” I raised one of my eyebrows. He smiled weakly. “Lara, you have become family. You have proven to me that you can be trusted and that you are willing to go through hell to protect my son. Do we have to do the whole ‘I am a blessing’ stuff over again?” He chuckled, and I could not help but laugh lightly. “No, thank you,” I refused as I continued to laugh. “That is why I came back here after I lashed out at you. You did not deserve that; you have be

I sat down next to Alex and the smell of his cologne filled my nose. It was a strong scent but I really liked it though. The black-and-white cartoon playing on the projector was aesthetically pleasing. It reminded me of the past. Not just any past, or mine. But like the 1960s. Weird because I was not even alive at that time but that was the vibe I got from looking at Mickey Mouse doing funny dances while in black-and-white color. “You said you wanted to talk?” Alex smiled weakly as intrigue smeared his facial features. He was wearing a hoodie that looked great on him. If we were not about to talk about serious matters, I would have asked him where he got it. “Yeah, but you go first. What do you want to talk about?” I adjusted myself in my seat and made myself comfortable enough. My attention was trained on him as I awaited him to speak. “You sure?” “Yeah, go ahead.” I encouraged him. I was curious as to what he wanted to talk to me about. But I already knew what I wanted to talk

I crossed my legs and watched Gene and Zayn sip lemonade from the glasses that were brought by the male helper. I was very invested in Gene’s backstory. I wanted to know more. “You have not touched your lemonade, dear,” Gene pointed out and we both glanced at the tall glass that was filled with the yellowy-sugary drink. “Her teeth hurt when she drinks lemonade,” Zayn explained politely, and I smiled involuntarily. He placed his hand over mine on the couch and a warm feeling filled my chest. “Sorry,” I mouthed to Gene but she brushed me off lightly. “Oh, that’s alright. You should have told me.” She crossed her legs too. “Would you like me to send for water?” “No, it’s okay. Don’t trouble yourself.” I played with the tips of my hair. “You said that the Silver Moon pack has unspoken laws?” “Uh, yeah. Laws that have been passed down from generation to generation. It’s not written and posted somewhere but it’s in the hearts of all the inhabitants of Rocky. I learned about those laws
A Forbidden Bond Bonus Chapter~ 35
Smiles. Laughter. Joy. A lightness filled the air as Alex got out of the detective’s car. Snow fell from the sky and soon made white patches on his hair. His face was flushed and he had a smile so bright, that it could light up a dark night. The light humming of the car lingered in the air, and detective Stone and her wife got out of the car seconds later with cheerful looks on their faces. Bunny and the others joined us outside and Liam was out of words when his eyes landed on his dad. He glanced at me and his lips parted in disbelief. “Thank you,” He mouthed, and then turned his attention back to Alex. Liam watched his dad approach him and his eyes became glossy as they threatened to spill tears. He kept clenching and unclenching his jaw, and I could tell that he was trying his best to stop himself from crying. When Alex closed the distance between him and his son, they hugged each other tightly, and the scene made me teary. Zayn wrapped his right arm around my torso and pulled
