Bound By Blood Chapter 16 | Knowledge
Raya It’s been a week since I was taken to the Ambrose estate.Julian ignores my existence. I’m not allowed on his floor, not allowed to any meals he wants with his sons, and under no circumstance am I allowed to have sex with any of them.At least, that’s what Julian says. Blade hasn’t tried to be intimate with me and he’s the one around me the most. We train every day, or well… night because that’s when the boys are normally awake. He says I’m getting better, I tell him that I think he’s trying to kill me and he laughs at me.Adam seems to be cautious with me. We’ve bonded over books. He brings me a new one every couple of days that he thinks I’ll like. But otherwise, he seems to be uncomfortable with my presence.Luther enjoys teasing me. He always calls me his toy, he flirts with me more when his brothers are around because he knows it gets a rise out of them, but the few times we’ve been alone he hasn’t tried anything with me. In fact, he maintains a respectful distance from me
Bound By Blood Chapter 17 | Potential
Raya The walk to the office where Julian Ambrose is waiting is deathly quiet. Adam and Luther walk side by side in front of me and Blade walks beside me, his hand on my lower back as he silently guides me where I need to go. We go up to the next floor where I’ve been told that Julian lives. We walk into his office and immediately his eyes glue onto me and he gestures to the seat across from him and says, “Please, sit, Raya.”I do, knowing better than to argue with him, but I notice the way all of his sons frown as if they don’t like me being near him. He tilts his head to the side as he observes me and states, “You look more like a vampire than you did when I first met you.”He’s not wrong. My complexion is slightly more pale, every day I swear my reflection fades a little more, I am learning how to move quickly, my fangs seem to be growing back.I don’t answer him, not knowing how I would even respond to his statement. He says, “I think I may have jumped the gun a little bit, Ms. L
Bound By Blood Chapter 18 | Walk or Ride
BlairThe journey to find the vampire took longer than I thought it would. It would’ve been faster if I rode Hunter’s wolf, but something about that makes me feel uncomfortable. I don’t think he would harm me, but when it comes down to it, he’s a total stranger. I don’t know his intentions.My feet have blisters on them and apparently the vampire lives at the top of a hill and the uphill terrain is exhausting. The sun is already setting and I’m beginning to feel hopeless and like Hunter might be taking me for a ride.I look over at him, he took his shirt off hours ago murmuring about how he hates traveling in his human form, I’ve tried not to look at him much since. He’s too attractive and distracting.His southern drawl drives me crazy especially when he’s looking out for my safety. I don’t know why he cares about me other than the fact he wants to sleep with me.He says, “We should probably make camp for the night, darling.”I frown, “How much longer till we get there?”He lets out
Bound By Blood Chapter 19 | Saving
RayaThe trip to Arthur’s house took longer because of Blade allowing the ability to learn how to run. It is absolutely invigorating, I didn’t even know that my body was capable of moving at such high speeds.Blade would smile at me and I don’t think that I’ve ever seen his smile so broad. This energy between us is contagious, infectious, making me want to constantly chase this high that I’m experiencing. Never in my life have I felt something as wonderful as this. I hate how long it took me to recognize what’s happening to me, but I’m grateful to know now because now I can really have the chance to live my life the way I want to.No more hiding, no more limiting myself, I am free to be who I am!Well… to an extent… I still have to deal with the Ambrose brothers, but more and more I’m finding that I enjoy their company and I wouldn’t mind officially being a part of the Ambrose House. I don’t know if that will ever happen, I think it would be Julian’s decision and… he will only like me
Bound By Blood Chapter 20 | Lose Yourself
RayaMy heart felt like it stopped when I heard Arthur’s voice again. It took me by surprise, I wasn’t expecting him to be just behind us. But I’m sure with how loud we were being that we disturbed his night. I turn towards him, but he isn’t looking at me. His eyes are focused on Blade, he thought he had paid his debt, but now Blade is back which meant that things weren’t in the clear like he thought it was. Blade seems like he’s having a hard time to decide where his focus should be. Should it be on Arthur or Hunter? Neither one seemed like they liked his presence, both kind of gave the vibe like they wanted to kill him more than anything else.I let out a breath and Blade asks him, “Did you think the dog would be powerful enough to protect you from me?”Hunter lets out a growl and says, “I am an Alpha, Blade Ambrose, and a powerful one at that. I demand you treat me with respect or I may have no other choice than to retaliate.”Blade turns his head to him and says, “That depends o
Bound By Blood Chapter 21 | Conversation
RayaArthur squirms under my intense gaze, obviously uncomfortable with the conversation. But I need to know more about my origin. I say, "What powers do I have? You said you used to have other children, and they got too strong from consuming too much. What powers were common with them?"His cheeks puff out as he gives a long exhale and says, "The speed is common with everyone, fast reflexes, um... most didn't experience much outside of that.""But some did?" I question.His eyes narrow at me, he now is looking at me with a rather intense gaze and he asks, "Raya, are you experiencing some abilities you haven't talked about?"I shift uncomfortably in my seat, feeling exposed under Arthur's piercing eyes. "I don't know," I mutter, averting my eyes. "Sometimes I feel like I can sense things before they happen, like a premonition or something. But... it hasn't happened frequently. And... the more blood I consume, the more I can see how my human side is fading. I'm starting to be unable to

RayaAs we approached the Ambrose Estate my stomach felt twisted in knots. If Julian Ambrose sees me he’s going to want answers immediately and right now… I don’t trust him. I don’t feel like I can say everything that Arthur told me.Blade surprises me because as we head inside he doesn’t let me go. Instead, he carries me all the way to my room and then brings me inside the room and drops me on the bed. I look up at him, my eyebrows raised in surprise as I watch him begin to pace around my room.I tilt my head tot he side, he seems as if he’s overwhelmed by anxiety, but that’s not a quality I would normally associate with Blade. He is strong, confident… I don’t understand what has him so rattled.I ask softly, “Are you okay, Blade?”He freezes and looks over at me and states, “I invited a werewolf and a human to come here if they had questions for you. I’m… sure, I guess you could say that I’m ‘okay’.” He lets out a huff and I tilt my head to the side and asked, “Why did you do it if
Bound By Blood Chapter 23 | As You Wish
RayaThe world stills, my heartbeat quickens, my toes curl. My entire being is lost into Blade and his lips and where his hands move to. I can’t help the soft moan that slips from me, but the moment is lost in an instant as the door slams open and Luther shouts, “I KNEW IT!”Blade rips away from me, scowling as he looks at his brother. Luther looks smug as he walks into the room and says, “You like Raya.”Blade rolls his eyes in annoyance add I can’t help but feel pleased from the fact that he doesn’t deny it. He does like me, he wants to be with me. Adam closes the door behind him as he walks back into my room. He moves past me, closer to Blade as he seethes, “What are you thinking?”Blade doesn’t respond instantly and Adam rants, “Do you know the kind of trouble that you’ll be in if father finds out about this? Do you want to die, Blade? Do you want her to die?”Blade’s voice drips with sarcasm as he says, “You act like I’m not already dead.”“You and I both know that there is a way

Bound By Blood Chapter 30 | Not Alone
Raya“Do you know how reckless that was?!” Adam’s voice screeches for the fifteenth time. It doesn’t matter what Luther says, it doesn’t matter what I say, there’s no reason that I should’ve compelled him according to Adam.Blade watches the whole interaction with his arms crossed and he feigns disinterest. I know him, I know he’s a lot more interested than what he’s letting on.Luther snaps, “There was nothing reckless about it, Adam! You don’t get to just control everyone’s life!”“It’s my job to keep you safe!”I breathe out, letting the boys continue to fight as I lean against the counter next to Blade. I ask him softly, “Do you think we were reckless?”He shakes his head softly, “It’s natural for both of you to want to explore this new dynamic. I think Adam believes you were reckless because if our father had seen Luther when the tether broke… there’s a chance he would’ve killed you on the spot. He wants the Ambrose family to be the most powerful and with you having power over on
Bound By Blood Chapter 29 | Testing
BlairTonight is supposed to be my Luna ceremony… I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I trust Hunter and I trust his pack. Or well, our pack.He walks into our room with a small smile on his face, his eyes flicker to look at the mark on my neck. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist before kissing my mark, making tingles erupt through my body. He whispers softly, “You look perfect, like a goddess, Blair.”My cheeks heat up and I turn to look at him, his eyes shining with adoration for me. I tell him, “I’m becoming your Luna officially, I’ll be your equal, right?”He smiles, “You’re already my equal, Blair.”I comment, “I want to see Raya.”He winces softly and shakes his head, “I know you want to, Blair, but it’s dangerous around vampires.”“I don’t care.”He huffs, “You might not care, Blair, but I do, a lot, You are everything to me and if they got their hands on you.” He pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. This has been our main argument since we
Bound By Blood Chapter 28 | Tether
RayaI feel disoriented. I don’t know what exactly is going on, it’s like my head is spinning round and round on a ride that won’t stop. I hear Adam’s harsh voice as he asks me, “What did you do?”Something about the tone of his voice helps me to focus, although I don’t understand why he thinks it’s okay to speak to me that way. My head snaps towards him and I tell him harshly, “Mind your tone.”His eyebrows raise in surprise and I feel a hand on my shoulder, it’s a silent warning for me to stand down. I look back at Blade whose eyes are shining with concern. I frown as I look at him, I don’t know what they’re so worried about. I just went out with Luther for a little while, it isn’t as big of a deal as what they’re making it be.We went out, we came back, and then… and then… I don’t remember.My eyebrows crinkle together as I try harder to think of what happened next, but nothing is coming to my mind. I look towards Luther who also seems to be in a bit of a daze. He rubs his eyes for
Bound By Blood Chapter 27 | What Happened?
RayaI’m surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed being around Luther. Things aren’t tense with him instead I feel like for once, I don’t have any worries. He doesn’t get too close to me, but I’m not sure if he’s doing that out of trying to give me peace of mind or what his motive might be. Regardless, I’ve been grateful for the night out.We get back to the Estate and he looks at me with a happy gleam in his eyes and asks, “Do you want to see what my favorite spot of the estate is? I like to go here anytime I get out of the house.”I look back where we can see the sun just beginning to peak through in the darkness. I murmur, “Is it outside? You don’t have much time.”He smirks and holds out his hand and asks, “Do you trust me?”And surprisingly, I don’t hesitate to put my hand in his. Even with the sun coming up, I don’t feel afraid. Then again, I’m not the one whose life is in danger because of the sun. He pulls me closer to him and holds me tight and his breath fans my ear as he whispers
Bound By Blood Chapter 26 | Out
BladeIt has been difficult to be away from Raya. I thought I made my feelings for her obvious with that kiss, yet she asked for space from all of us. She has never sought me out so I let her have her space.I watched her from a distance, still concerned about her safety even though my father seems to be less of a threat with each passing day. At this point, I’m just missing her. I miss her presence and talking to her, she was one of the only things in my life to make me feel like I have a purpose.So, after 7 days of respecting her space, I decided that today if she doesn’t crack then I will. And I hope she won’t reject me.I watched her room from afar like I always do until I heard a commotion from some of the servants we have down the hall. I sigh as I force myself to leave to help with whatever was going on. It’s rare for there to be fights around the estate, but I know no one would act up if I was around. With great reluctance, I leave Raya’s space unattended.I couldn’t have bee
Bound By Blood Chapter 25 | Humanity
RayaIt’s been a week since the Adam, Blade, and Luther admitted their feelings for me. They’ve left me alone so that I can have time to process. I haven’t seen Adam at all. Blade is always near, watching me and keeping me safe, but he doesn’t interact with me and I haven’t figured out the words to say to him. I’ve seen Luther in passing. I walk into a room, he leaves it and that’s how it’s been.I don’t know how to talk to any of them. But I feel overwhelmed with guilt for not knowing which one of them I want. For not realizing sooner that they might have feelings for me.The choice should be obvious, I should pick and want Blade. He’s been there for me the most and has made me feel valued. But I think of Luther and his charisma and the chill that I get when he calls me his toy. I think of how I haven’t seen him take a girl to his room, human or vampire, since I came here. And from the way the boys talked apparently that had been a very common thing from him.I think of Adam. I think
Bound By Blood Chapter 24 | Statement
BlairIt’s been three days since Hunter and I returned to the Moon Pack and I abandoned my goal of rescuing my sister. I’ve stayed at the pack, unsure of what to do with myself because I don’t want to go home. I want to figure out what’s going on with Raya, but when I mentioned it to Hunter he told me to wait a couple of days.I don’t know what we’re waiting for and it makes me frustrated. Those bloodsuckers still have her in their clutches. There’s no way she could be safe for the long term and yet…. She had no problem sending me away.I fall back on the bed in frustration as I stare up at the ceiling. For the most part Hunter has left me alone to process things and he has seemed pretty busy with his pack that he hasn’t come to bother me much. I get delivered food for every meal so I’ve had no reason to venture outside of this room unless I’m wanting human interaction.The thing is, I don’t know what I want. With life, with Raya, with… anything. And it’s frustrating because I almost
