Moon Maiden's Bond DOORS OPEN TO LIGHT
Sophia looked at Jonathan incredulously; there was no way she was letting him follow her anywhere.As though he could read her mind, Jonathan walked closer."If you want to meet that gallery director, this is the only way," he said, and she went pale. Was he listening to her call while he was downstairs? How good were his ears?The look in his eyes at this moment was dangerous. She wondered why. It scared her greatly. Was he angry to find out the shack was a giant snake? Should she have never said anything? She could tell he was serious. If she wanted to leave the house, she had to leave with him.This made Sophia curse internally. Was there no way to shake these werewolves off?"You should go in and change; you don't want to meet him that way, right?" He asked, and she nodded, turned around, and walked back into the house.No matter what, she had a meeting she needed to attend and had no time to deal with them.When she entered the house, she found that the blinds had been completely
Moon Maiden's Bond BREAKING UP
Sophia's blood raged in her veins. Aiden was here. She looked at Jason apologetically, and then she stood."It seems the guests out back in your garden are people I know. Including a self-proclaimed manager who has been blocking all sales of my art," Sophia said, and Jason suddenly understood what was going on."Do you mind if I have a word with this manager?" Sophia asked, and Jason shook his head, asking her to go ahead.Sophia marched out of the office and into the gallery. She made her way to the entrance leading out to the gallery's back garden and spotted Aiden at a glance. He was standing with Sandra. She had her hands all over him as usual.It used to bother Sophia in the past. Sandra's behavior was the cause of a lot of their quarrels. But right now, Sophia did not care.Aiden noticed her walking close and started to smile when Sophia walked up to him and threw a slap.The slap sent Aiden to the floor quickly. His ears rang and his vision blurred. Sandra was instantly alarmed
Moon Maiden's Bond BOND OR DIE
Jonathan glanced at Damien when he heard this. He did not bother denying it. He had really been the one to set it up. But if Sophia's ex-boyfriend had not betrayed her, would he have had the chance?He had been watching Sophia for a while, suspecting that not only was she his mate, but she was the moon maiden. He had kept his distance for so long; if she had not been attacked, he would not have shown up.But all through, the presence of her ex-boyfriend irked him greatly. The fact that there was a man by her side had irritated him for too long. He had already known that the moment he got the chance, he would remove him from her life."Let's leave your little game aside. If she found out that you arranged to have her art displayed by the Hyacinth Gallery, or it's because of you she is getting a chance to display her art, would she be grateful?" Damien asked, then sighed. "I have not known her long, but she seems to have a lot of pride."Jonathan did not bother to answer him. He knew th
Moon Maiden's Bond HER FAMILY
Sophia wanted to say no when he told her to wait, but she decided against it. He had still not told her why she would die if she did not make a bond. She still wanted to know, so she had to wait.She walked over to the seating area and took a seat. She realized she had not eaten much during breakfast when her stomach started craving the coffee one of the guests was drinking.She recalled someone online saying that a person could order a coffee in a hotel, so she called a staff and ordered one. Surprisingly, it was not expensive.She took a sip of the hot liquid, and it rolled down her throat. It tasted good. For a moment, she was satisfied. But her satisfaction was broken by the familiar sound of a woman's voice."Sophia? What are you doing here?" The person asked, and Sophia turned to see who it was, only for her mood to drop.A tall blonde-haired woman walked towards Sophia. She was Sophia's stepsister, Anya."I saw you from over there; what are you doing here?" Anya asked, but Soph
Moon Maiden's Bond IN BED WITH HIM
"What?" Sophia asked. She could not understand the words that came out of his mouth. She could feel her cheeks burn.She misunderstood those words in a different direction the moment she heard them, and he knew."Do you intend to sleep like that?" Jonathan asked."You are just going to sit here?" she asked."Act as though I am not here," he said, and she was at a loss for words.He too did not know why he did not want to leave. He could find her even if she escaped, and he knew her home was safe. But he did not want to leave.For some reason, he could not bring himself to leave her side. What was going on?Was this because she was his fated mate?Sitting in her home so near her bed, he could definitely smell the scent that came from her. It was a combination of her perfume and her natural scent. The scent filled the room.Jonathan found that he was somewhat obsessed with the scent.Sophia finally calmed down and suddenly understood something. He wanted to stay the night."You want us
Moon Maiden's Bond MOVING IN WITH HIM
Sophia was brave when she had spoken before, but when he moved, she almost died inside."I don't mind if I do," Jonathan said, and she trembled slightly. Seeing the position they were now in, she turned red and tried to push him off, but he was too heavy."Get off," she protested."But you said I could," he chuckled darkly."I was joking; please get off," she pleaded. He did not want to. For some reason, he wanted to melt into her. He felt comfortable here and did not want to move. He could not understand this sudden rush of emotions."Why are you against being my mate?" He asked, "Are you still hung up on that ex of yours?"She was greatly offended by his words. "I told you that day, didn't I?" she asked with a deep frown. Did she? He could not understand her reasons. He raised a brow at this."I was not listening," he said drily. "Did you?"She was tired of telling him this. Was he just not used to being rejected? Is that why he is behaving this way?"Then tell me again. If you expl
Moon Maiden's Bond HER CONTROL
"My energy starts becoming turbulent when she is near," Jonathan said, and Damien raised a brow."How turbulent? Did you notice anything else?" Damien asked."When it happens, I can barely respond. I want to do something else, but my body has a mind of its own," he explained."If your energy wasn't dangerously turbulent, I would have said you just fell in love," Damien commented, and Jonathan threw him a look of warning, so he cleared his throat and continued, "So, what after she left?" he asked."After that, I got agitated. I got agitated because I did not know where she was," he explained."That is oddly specific," Damien said. "It is as though she has control over you.""Yes," Jonathan nodded. "The moment I am near her, I can hear her heartbeat. It is as though I am locked onto her. It becomes even harder to reign in my energy when she is close."Jonathan explained his experience with Sophia, and Damien descended into deep thought. He had never heard of this combination of symptoms
Moon Maiden's Bond Obsession
Sophia turned red when he said this and tried to turn away. Jonathan found that at this moment, his mind was getting hazy. His emotions were getting turbulent.Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to let go of her. The next moment, he was lying there, his back looking away."Damien is coming to check on you tomorrow," Jonathan said."Damien? Why? What is wrong with me?" Sophia asked."He is a seer, you know," Jonathan said."A Seer? What's that?""Every being has an energy. But the children of the night can access their core. Sometimes seers would emerge. A seer is like a doctor or a scientist but for the study of energy. Their understanding of the other side is better than others," Jonathan said."That snake—the Oracle—she had said something about children of the night before. Does this include only werewolves?" Sophia asked."No, witches are children of the night too," he answered."So, why would a seer need to check me? Is something wrong with me?" Sophia asked. Jonathan finally t

Moon Maiden's Bond Damien Wakes Up
The nurse seemed too busy to note her panic as he finished with her and moved on to the next person.By the time Sophia returned to the emergency room, she was notified that her 'husband' had been moved to a shared ward.She walked in to see other patients surrounded by family; she guessed it must have been visitation hour. She walked over to her 'husband's' designated bed and finally had the opportunity to see his face clearly. She only had one word to describe him: godly.Every inch of him, from the hair on his thick brown to his slightly pale lips, was perfection.Were werewolves all perfect-looking?"Now I can't call Jonathan," she muttered.Sophia had a feeling that if Jonathan heard that she had said Damien was her husband, he would lose it.The thought of it made her shiver."Nope. He is never hearing of this, so you better keep shut," she said to the unconscious Damien.She felt the urge to touch his face but paused when she recalled his sharp gaze. When they had locked eyes i
Moon Maiden's Bond Damien is Injured
Sophia was getting restless. Her feet no longer hurt, but Jonathan had forbidden her from leaving home.After pacing a while, she walked around the house till she could not take it anymore and ordered a taxi. The taxi stopped her by a pub, and she went in for a drink. After a while, she stepped out, determined to get home before Jonathan did.She hugged her black coat tighter to herself and walked with more caution, her eyes wandering at every lizard that crossed paths with her. Suddenly her ears caught sounds approaching—growling of some sort. She could no longer stay calm as her steps quickened till she broke out in a full-blown run.She could feel cold air tearing through her lungs with every step, as well as the growls. It sounded like wolves. She had spent enough time with werewolves, even with her ears barely working. She could definitely recognize the growl of a wolf. She found it impossible that such wild animals would be out in the city. What if they were not wild animals but
Moon Maiden's Bond Family meeting
Jonathan drove over to his family home and parked at the front door before walking in.He ignored everyone and went straight to the meeting room, opened the door, and walked in.Jonathan's eyes remained cold and unfeeling as he surveyed the gathered clans. They were the Davenport family's vassals and have been so for generations.They had under them a cluster of smaller families that they had led for centuries. All these families under the four great clans looked to the Davenport family as their anchor.The current Davenport family is comprised of four generations. Two generations before him, comprised of his formidable grandmother and his late grandfather's two remaining brothers.This lineage trailed down to his father's generations, with his father, uncles, aunts, and cousins, and down to his own generations, where many of his siblings and cousins had already begun to add children to the bloodline.The Davenport family spanned four generations of werewolf lineage, each very importa
Moon Maiden's Bond To Dream
Sophia looked around in panic. Where was she? She looked around, panting. The pain from being tortured was still fresh in her mind."Breath Sophia," she heard Jonathan say and realized that she was being held in his arms.When she confirmed that it was him, she relaxed somewhat.Sophia leaned her head against Jonathan's chest as she took in deep breaths.Her entire body was still shaking, and this scared Jonathan greatly.Seeing that she was somewhat better, he carried her out of the tub and into her room.He noticed the staff look at Sophia's feet in worry. They had probably heard Sophia's screams and hurried over.He had her dressed and asked for a first aid box to be brought to him.Sophia was still in a daze, completely unaware that her feet were injured and she was being treated.Staff came over to tell Jonathan that they had called the doctor. He looked around the room to find things scattered and broken and decided to take Sophia downstairs.He instructed the staff to clean up
Moon Maiden's Bond Dreaming a Past Life
Sophia found herself in an odd place—a clearing in the middle of a forest. People were talking and looking at her weirdly. This confused her.Where was she?"Is that Reign?" Someone asked while pointing to her.Reign? Who was Reign? Sophia looked around the crowd in confusion."What is she doing here?" someone said."Does she think she will be picked?Reign could hear all the muttering all the muttering but just stood there. When she opened her mouth to ask where she was, no words came out."All those of age, step into the ring of fire," a man stepped forward and said. From the words others said, Sophia guessed that he was the pack leader. Her body moved on command, and she joined others and stepped into a large circle drawn of fire."There are fate stones on the other side of the forest. Get to your fate stone and bring it back. May the moon light your path," the pack leader said.The moment the gong went off, young werewolves rushed into the forest. Sophia too wasted no time.She fo
Moon Maiden's Bond The Debt
Sophia entered her room and shut the door. The next moment, she received a call. It was Aiden.She ignored it the first few times it rang till she finally picked up the call."What do you want?" Sophia asked."No need to be so angry. Regina called," Aiden said, and Sophia paused."About what?""She wanted her money back," Aiden said."I told her that I would pay in three months. I still have one month left, and why didn't she call me directly?" Sophia asked."Why should she? Are you not some big artist now? I let her know you have made a big deal, and she wants her money back," Aiden said, and Sophia cursed out loud."You are a big piece of rubbish, you know that?" Sophia said."She is my friend. Did you think you could pull that rubbish in the art gallery, and I will let it go?" Aiden chuckled."You will not mind how I react, right?" Sophia threatened."Go ahead, do your worst," Aiden said."I will call her myself and handle it," Sophia said."I have paid the money back on your behal
Moon Maiden's Bond He lowered his head.
Jonathan stormed into his office, took a small bottle of whisky off a side table, and poured himself a drink. His emotions were boiling out of control.Jonathan just took a swing of his drink when Damien walked in after him. Closing the door of his office shut, Damien started at him and raised a brow."You touched her again, didn't you? You are only going to get more obsessed, you know. How you are dealing with this is not the way," Damien said just as Jonathan took a seat on the couch in the office."You had looked like you wanted to say something. I noticed you were holding back when you checked her. What is wrong?" Jonathan asked, ignoring his statement."Well, all these while, we have been assuming that she had forcefully created a bond with you or that she is forcefully trying to subdue you, but we were wrong," Damien said. Jonathan's eyes narrowed at his words."You were wrong. It was you who said I was forcefully being subdued by her," Jonathan corrected him."Well, it seems th

Moon Maiden's Bond HER CONTROL
"My energy starts becoming turbulent when she is near," Jonathan said, and Damien raised a brow."How turbulent? Did you notice anything else?" Damien asked."When it happens, I can barely respond. I want to do something else, but my body has a mind of its own," he explained."If your energy wasn't dangerously turbulent, I would have said you just fell in love," Damien commented, and Jonathan threw him a look of warning, so he cleared his throat and continued, "So, what after she left?" he asked."After that, I got agitated.
