A Forbidden Bond You Have Been Warned
I looked at Zayn and he smiled warmly, but then his smile faded. “What’s wrong? Your face looks pale.” I forced a smile. “It’s nothing really.” I tapped the seat in front of me, which was the driver’s seat. “Would it be possible for me to get down here?” “What?” Zayn asked as confusion plastered his face. “Why would you want to do that?” Bunny and the others had the same look of confusion on their faces. “I–I um, I saw a restaurant that I used to eat at when I was still little and it has been long since I have gotten something from there. I want to stop for a burger and fries.” I opened the door as I spoke. “I would be there for a few minutes and then meet you all later at the mansion.” I tried my best to lie, it was not smooth but almost believable. “Are you sure?” It was clear that Zayn did not want this. A car behind us honked and we realized that we were holding traffic because the light was now green.“Yes, it’s just for old times’ sake.” I gave him a quick kiss and got out
A Forbidden Bond Gone, Gone, Gone
I released a sigh of relief when I saw the Lycan’s mansion. I had been walking for the past ten minutes and I was so glad that I was finally there. After talking to the vampire king, I tried to wrap my head around what happened and why it happened but I was just left with more questions. He made it clear why he chose me to be the messenger of his message: because people listen to me. But that was not enough. I was still confused about a few things. Especially the question that had to deal with why Jacob was obsessed about me stopping the merger. I had a feeling that he had some kind of ulterior motive. “Name, and who you’re here to see?” The guard at the gate asked me, and I pursed my lips. “My name’s Lara Zane and I’m here to see the Lycan.” The guard smiled disappointingly. “I’m sorry, but the Lycan Alpha is not accepting visitors right now.” The other guard looked at his colleague and said, “Oh, she’s good. She’s on the list.” The lady then gave me a pass to wear around my n
A Forbidden Bond And So It Begins
It had been a week since Ashton and Serenity’s father died. The man was a legend. He had a lot of flaws but he also did a lot of good. The number of people that came out to show their support for Ashton and his family was insane. There were so many packs in the Werewolf Territory, and they all showed their condolences for their great leader. It was sad. It was heartbreaking. But mostly, it was a start of a new chapter for almost everyone. Someone would have to replace the Lycan but it was agreed that that was not going to be discussed until after six months.I have known Ashton for years but I had never seen him so broken. Almost every time that I saw him, he was either sobbing or his eyes were red, swollen, or weary. I promised him that I would be at his side and I stood by that. It’s hard to see someone that you care about hurting. I was not close to the Lycan and at a time in my life, I actually hated him, but his death made me sad. His death made a lot of people sad.I was not
A Forbidden Bond Truth Serum
I inhaled sharply when the man glanced at me. He smirked and pretended that he did not see me as he continued to have sex with Serenity. The man was no other but the vampire king, Jacob. I rushed away from the living room and headed for my room. My head was spinning and so many questions were popping into it. I opened the door, walked in, and locked it. I lowered my body and sat behind the door as I tried to control my breathing. I placed my phone on the floor along with my headphone and water bottle. Then I suddenly heard the front door open and after a few seconds, I heard it close. I rose to my feet, opened my door, and walked out. I headed down the stairs and with purposeful strides, I searched for Serenity. I needed to question her. Did she know that she was having sex with a psycho?“Hey!” I called for her attention when my eyes landed on her. She was heading back into the living room so I followed her. “Hey, Serenity,” I called to her again, though it was obvious that she w
A Forbidden Bond Meet Me In The Woods
“I was only falling in love.” That was the last thing that Serenity said to me before she left. She told me that she was going to find Jacob to have a talk with him. She wore a pink sweater over her blouse, grabbed her bag, and left. The sun had suddenly begun to slip away under a blanket of dark and gloomy clouds. A light drizzle of rain could be heard, and I could swear that I could smell it. The drizzle soon changed into something more serious and lightning accompanied it, followed by strong thunders. All the lights in the house were suddenly turned on by the staff due to the clouds withholding the rays of the sun. The sound of the rain and thunder was refreshing. They brought a refreshing vibe. It was almost noon but it looked like it was almost night because of the weather.I headed to my room, took a shower, got dressed, and went back downstairs so I could make myself something to eat. I was so hungry. I knew that I could have had the staff make me breakfast but I preferred
A Forbidden Bond 11:30 PM
The clock on the wall of my room had just hit 11 PM and I was watching it with a numb feeling in my chest. I was dressed in something warm and had my phone in my hand. It was time to leave. If I started leaving the house by now, I would no doubt be at Hulu forest by 11:30 pm. I peeled my eyes off the clock and placed my phone in the pocket of the hoodie that I was wearing. I walked out of my room and down the stairs. I was not scared of Jacob and although meeting him in the forest alone by night was very sketchy, I could take care of myself. Plus I wanted to see the look on his face when I told him that we went ahead and signed the merger anyway.As soon as I touched the doorknob of the front door to open it, someone stopped me. “Hey, you’re heading somewhere?” My heart skipped a beat and I tried to calm myself by taking in steady breaths. It was Serenity. “I–um, I’m headed out for a jog.” I pulled a few strands of my rogue hair behind my ear as I lie. “This late? And it’s freezi
A Forbidden Bond Cleaning Up Messes
I stared at the vampire king for a few seconds and the wind blew a few leaves on the ground. In the distance, we could hear a wolf howl. The moon still sat in the sky and my nose hurt a bit because of how cold it was. “So what do you say, she-wolf?” Jacob walked close to me and extended his hand for a handshake. He had a smirk on his face that annoyed me but I knew that I had not much of a choice. “Work with me or go to jail?” I looked down at his pale hand and I reluctantly shook it as I swallowed. “Okay, you have a deal. I will try to get the others on board. We would hack the gateway and allow your sleeper agents in Beacon.” My voice was strained and I felt a heaviness in my chest.“Great.” He chortled, and then we broke the handshake. “I will be watching.” He then ran his hands through his hair. Right before my eyes, his body began to turn to black ashes. Within seconds, he was gone with the wind.I exhaled sharply and looked around but there was no sign of anyone. I then pulled
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

“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

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

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
