SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 43
Serenity My head throbbed, and my limbs felt like lead. The last thing I remembered was being dragged from the car and a sharp pain in my neck. Now, I was lying on a cold, hard floor in an unfamiliar room, dimly lit by a single bulb hanging from the ceiling. Panic surged through me, bracing myself against the wall to sit. Nausea and dizziness washed over me as I sat straight up, whatever drug they had injected me with still flowing within me.I forced myself to take deep breaths and closed my eyes, trying to calm the racing of my heart. Tay… Where was Tay? I had to find a way out and get back to him. I scanned the room, looking for anything that might help me escape. The walls were bare, and the windows were boarded up. There was a single door, but it was locked from the outside.Footsteps approached, and I quickly lay back down, pretending to be unconscious. The door creaked open, and I heard muffled voices.“She’s still out,” a gruff voice said. “Good. Elder Jalen wants her alive,

SerenityOne night, I was lying on the cold metal table, my body wracked with pain, when the door burst open. Through my bleary vision, I saw a group of figures storm into the room, led by Tay. His eyes blazed with fury as he took in the sight of me, strapped down and surrounded by instruments of torture. Blinking rapidly to realize it was just a dream. The men in lab coats began their work, prodding and injecting me with various substances. Pain radiated through my body, but I gritted my teeth, refusing to give them the satisfaction of hearing me scream.The men sat around, watching and jotting down notes on a clipboard. A wave of dizziness hit me, and the monitors started to go haywire one after another. The technician grabbed my wrist and noticed my wounds were not healing. "Get her some wolf blood and saline solution to rehydrate her. I don't need my lab rat dying before I get the information for Elder Jalen. He called her a hybrid, but she is only a witch. I need to find a way

Javonte I paced the length of the study, the anger simmering just beneath my skin, causing the mark on my neck to throb and turn an angry red. Jasper, my wolf, had been silent and was slowly weakening with Serenity’s absence and the bond’s strain taking their toll. It had been a month since she had been taken, and despite my relentless search, I had found no sign of her. My pack was just as frustrated; my distress and mood swings were palpable through our link.The room was pitch black except for the moonlight filtering in through the window. I stopped at the desk, gripping its edge, trying to focus. Every day without Serenity felt like an eternity; the bond between us was a constant reminder of her suffering. I knew she was being tortured; the nightmares were proof of that, if nothing else.Earlier tonight, I was jolted awake by another one of those dreams. In it, I had stormed into a room, seeing Serenity strapped to a cold metal table, surrounded by men in lab coats. Her body was

Javonte Pacing the perimeter of Meadowood, my senses were on high alert. Hiding in the shadow of the forest darkness, the moon hung low in the sky, providing perfect coverage. The emergency alarms quieted down, and the warriors filled in the perimeter. The sounds of rustling leaves and the noise of nighttime animals pierced the air. Blocking my racing thoughts of Serenity, I concentrated on the threat of rabid wolves approaching Meadowood territory. A cool breeze blew in my direction. Halting in my tracks, I caught a faint scent of Serenity's sweet hazelnut scent. Twisting and turning with my nose in the air, I tried to find which direction the wind came from. Another burst of wind hit, and my heart skipped a beat. It was truly Serenity's scent. The scent was faint but unmistakable, cutting through the myriad of forest smells. I inhaled deeply, trying to pinpoint its source. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the border, where the rabid wolves had been spotted. My muscle

Serenity As the days dragged on, my strength began to wane. The experiments took their toll, and I felt myself slipping. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw Tay’s face and heard his voice. It gave me the strength to endure. “Tay will be here soon,” Elder Jalen said, almost casually. “I’ve made sure of it.” Leaning against the wall, he read the doctor's note. My heart ached with fear for Tay, but I forced myself to stay strong. “You won’t win,” I repeated, my voice hoarse but defiant. Elder Jalen smiled. “We’ll see.” The words filled me with a renewed sense of hope and urgency. Tay was close. I could feel it. I had to hold on just a little longer. My thoughts drifted to the nights we spent together, his arms wrapped around me, his voice a soothing balm to my soul. I wondered if I would ever feel the electrifying sensation again. The door to my cell creaked open, pulling me from my thoughts.

Serenity The ground continued to tremble beneath our feet, dust and debris falling from the cracked walls. Jalen's dark energy filled the air, oppressive and suffocating. Tay's protective stance gave me a momentary sense of security, but I knew we were far from safe. "How is this possible?" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the rumbling. Jalen's laugh echoed through the corridor, cold and mocking. "You underestimated my power, Serenity. I am beyond your comprehension." Tay's eyes never left Jalen's; his muscles tensed and flexed. "We beat you once, Jalen. We can do it again." Jalen’s eyes, still swirling with that eerie black and gold, flicked toward me. "You may have burned my ph

Javonte We pushed through the dense forest, each step heavier than the last. My heart ached with every beat, a relentless reminder of my failures. The scent of smoke and blood still lingered in my nostrils, a grim testament to what we had lost. I tightened my grip on Serenity's hand, drawing strength from her presence, but even that wasn’t enough. We were alive, but our pack lay in ruins.The images of our fallen home were etched in my mind, every detail like a knife twisted into my soul. The faces of our fallen pack members, their eyes forever closed, haunt me. I was their Alpha, their protector, and I had failed them in the worst way possible.As Alpha, it was my duty to keep everyone safe. And yet, in the face of Jalen's dark power and the relentless onslaught of rogues, I had been powerless. The tethers of the pack link breaking, the cries of my people, the devastation of our home—it was too much. My father’s proud teachings echoed in my mind, a stark contrast to the reality we f

Javonte After the meeting, I stepped outside, needing a moment to clear my head. The territory was quiet, and the air was filled with the sounds of nature, a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction we had left behind.I found a quiet spot by a small stream and sat down, staring into the water. The guilt and grief still weighed on me, but now there was a sense of purpose, a direction to channel my emotions.Lost in thought, I didn't notice my mother approaching until she sat beside me, her presence a comforting balm. She studied me for a moment before speaking."You carry a heavy burden of leadership," she said softly. "It's a lot, especially in times of crisis. But remember, you're not alone. Your pack looks to you for strength, but they also share your burdens."I nodded, her words cutting deep. "I can't shake the feeling that I failed them. I could have done more."She leaned forward, her gaze intense. "Leadership isn't about never making mistakes. It's about learning from them

Javonte The bracelet felt heavier in my pocket than it should have, its strange energy prickling against my skin even through the fabric. The obsidian-eyed wolf figurine was tucked in the same pocket, its edges smooth and cold. I didn’t understand why, but both objects unsettled me in a way I couldn’t shake. After breakfast, I made my way to River Valley Pack to visit Elder Tony. He was wise beyond his years, a repository of wolf history. If anyone could decipher the meaning behind these objects, it was him. The morning air was crisp, and the packhouse buzzed with activity as wolves went about their daily routines. The drive there was uneventful, just a blur of trees. I had the music on jazz to keep my mind focused on the road ahead. But as I reached River Valley, the unease in my chest grew stronger. Something wasn’t right, and I couldn’t ignore it. When I arrived, I knocked once before entering. Elder Tony looked up from a leather-bound book at his office desk, his sharp gray e

Serenity I let exhaustion claim me, and I drift off to sleep, basking in the electrifying tingles of Tay's proctection. I feel this a soft, warm presence in my mind. A tiny, childlike voice whispers, “I’ll protect you, Mama. But they’re coming for us.”I jolts awake, realizing my unborn daughter was warning me. The next morning, we hosted a memorial celebration. The air was thick with the bittersweet scent of incense and wildflowers, a mixture that carried a weight of remembrance and hope. I stood beside Tay in the graveyard, my hand resting protectively over my growing bump while we faced the pack. Meadowood was finally whole again. A sanctuary rebuilt from ashes, with stronger borders and an unyielding sense of unity. Today's memorial celebration wasn’t just for those we lost; it was a declaration that we had survived and would honor their sacrifices.The statue, carved from shimmering white stone, stood tall in the center of the graveyard. It depicted a wolf howling at the moon,
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 70
Serenity I opened my eyes, meeting his gaze while we stood in the ultrasound room. Tay was watching me, his eyes full of love and something else. Something I couldn’t put a name to. I wasn’t sure what had changed in him these past few weeks, but I knew he was waiting for me to open up, to let him in. And in this moment, I finally felt ready to do that. “I’ve been a terrible partner,” I began softly, my voice barely a whisper, as if the words might break me if I said them too loudly. “I’ve been shutting you out when all you’ve ever done is try to help me.” My breath hitched, and I looked down at the ultrasound printout in my hands, clutching it like a lifeline. The tears that had been threatening to spill finally broke free, spilling down my cheeks. I hadn’t realized how much I had been holding back until now.The sound of the heartbeat echoed in my mind long after we left the clinic. It was like a lifeline tethering me back to reality, pulling me from the dark place I’d been trap
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 69
Javonte The night we returned to Meadowood felt heavy, the air thick with unspoken grief and unanswered questions. Serenity had barely said a word since we’d left the grove, and when we arrived, she bolted towards our tent without looking back. Through our bond, I felt the raw edge of her heartbreak, her longing to feel our daughter’s warmth again. Her emotions surged through me like a tidal wave—her pain, her exhaustion, and the weight of the destiny she had never asked for. It was unbearable, and all I wanted to do was take it away from her. But I knew better than to chase after her right now. Serenity needed space to process everything. She always had. So, instead of following, I stayed behind to handle the responsibilities she couldn’t bear at the moment. The pack had gathered near the bonfire to continue the celebration—or what was left of it. The mood had shifted dramatically since our abrupt disappearance earlier that evening. I forced a smile, my mind racing for the ri
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 68
Serenity The hum of power in the air was overwhelming, pressing against my skin as if the grove itself were alive. I stood frozen, barely able to process what had just happened. One moment, I was celebrating my birthday in the arms of my mate, surrounded by our pack. The next, we were here—in this sacred, otherworldly place—face to face with legends. The Moon Goddess Selene stood before us, radiating an aura of calm authority. Her silver hair flowed like a river down her back, and her luminous eyes seemed to see straight into my soul. The Graeae Sisters flanked her, their forms shimmering like water caught in moonlight. Despite their ethereal presence, their expressions were warm, almost amused. And then there was Sam. My breath hitched at the sight of her. She wasn’t the Sam I knew—my loyal, albeit overprotective, wolf companion. Her silver coat glistened as if she had spun from starlight, and her dark gray eyes held an ancient wisdom that made my chest tighten. There was a reg
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 67
Javonte The moment Serenity walked out of the tent with her bag slung over her shoulder, I knew she needed this trip. She needed a break, a chance to breathe away from the constant demands of Meadowood. But damn if it didn’t sting to watch her go without me.She threw one last playful glance over her shoulder before climbing into Corey’s truck. I leaned against the frame of the packhouse, arms crossed, watching the truck pulled away and disappeared into the trees. I exhaled slowly, a faint smile tugging at the corner of my lips. If anyone could lift her spirits, it was Camila, Corey, and Lukas. They were her anchors, just as she was mine.The sounds of the truck faded, and an idea began to take root in my mind. Her birthday was the day after tomorrow, but something told me waiting wouldn’t do. This year had already thrown so much at her—the prophecy, rebuilding Meadowood, managing alliances, and the relentless pressure of leadership. She deserved one day that was about her. No stress
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 66
Serenity I woke to the soft warmth of sunlight filtering through the tent. The familiar sounds of Meadowood stirring outside reached my ears—builders hammering, the distant laughter of children, and the soothing cadence of the river flowing nearby. For a moment, I let myself enjoy the peace, curled beneath the thin sheets that still faintly smelled of Tay. But the serenity didn’t last. A sudden wave of nausea hit me like a tidal wave, and I bolted upright, my hand instinctively clutching my stomach. My mouth watered in that awful, familiar way that always came before I was sick. Stumbling out of bed, I barely made it outside the tent before doubling over, retching into the grass. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, leaning on my knees to catch my breath. The nausea subsided as quickly as it had come, leaving me shaky but otherwise fine. “Stress,” I muttered under my breath. “It’s just stress.” It made sense. The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of planning, rebuild
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 65
Javonte The night air was cool. I stood at the edge of Meadowood’s new heart, the fire pit casting warm shadows across the freshly laid foundations. I couldn’t help but let my gaze fall on Serenity. She was standing near a group of witches, her hands moving expressively while she discussed the next day’s plans. Her voice was steady, commanding, but kind—always kind. She had a way of making everyone feel heard, valued, and united. I couldn’t look away. Watching her bridge the gap between packs, covens, and humans with such grace left me in awe. She was the perfect Luna; not just for me but for everyone who followed her. She carried the weight of leadership effortlessly, even when it pressed on her shoulders. She laughed softly at something one of the witches said. I found myself pulled into a memory of the first time I saw her years ago. It was a humid summer day on the college campus—the kind of day where the sun clung stubbornly to your skin. I was heading to the library
SoulBound: The Shattered Luna Chapter 64
Serenity The morning light filtered through the curtains. I woke with a smile, my body humming with energy I hadn’t felt in days. The ache in my limbs was gone, the nausea a distant memory. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt whole. I sat up in bed, blinking and inhaling the crisp morning air. Tay was still asleep beside me, one arm draped protectively across my waist. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him—my rock, my peace, my partner. Slipping out from under his arm, carefully not to disturb him. He needed just as much rest as possible. I stretched, rotated my bones, and marveled at how light my body felt. The events of the past few days had been a whirlwind, but now, for the first time, I could focus on what came next. Meadowood. The name alone brought a surge of bittersweet memories. It had been our home, our sanctuary, and it had been torn apart. But it
