LUCY POV
I was a little surprised when Damon asked for my help reviewing the Mountain Moon pack's history. He said it would help Axel with uniting and leading the pack so, of course, I wanted to help. Anything for Axel, Lanie and now the twins who I am completely in love with. I really didn't care too much for Damon but when Victoria told me he was a good guy, and how he used to take her beatings from their grandfather as a child. He became less arrogant to me. I guess I just don't like that arrogance. I am so dirty hot attitude, like he could get any girl he wanted.
"Sure just judge a book by its cover, if people judged you by your cover, you wouldn't like what they said."
"Shut up Astrid."
"I am just saying, he hot as hell and I want him to bend me over the counter if you get what I mean."
"Astrid!"
"Hmm That's new, I've never heard anyone argue with their wolf out loud."
"Even his voice is sexy as hell
AXEL POVLast night patrolling the border with Damon was a lot of fun. I like having a brother. I was really struggling with if I should tell Lucy about Daman asking so much about her, but I really didn't want Astrid to freak out and kill my only brother. Lanie and Ellen were working with the twins trying out some cloaking spells and herbs. They were not having a good time. Violet kept syphoning the spells magic away and moving things around the Nursey. They are only a month old how they can do some of this stuff freaks me out. Lanie seems wholly relaxed with it all. Liza and Laura have been working with her to get Anna under control: her wolf has always been on edge. She was traumatized as a pup and never recovered.I was supposed to be working on paperwork, getting the pack's financials squared away, but I couldn't stop thinking about Damon and Lucy. I was even more annoyed that when I asked Lucy to go for a run today, she couldn't because she was h
DAMON POV Lucy was still mid-vision when she collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted from what she had just endured. "Lucy? You awake?" I shook her lightly. She slowly opened her eyes. She flung her arms around me and held on like I was a life raft. After about a minute, her breathing slowed, and she pulled away, wiping her tears. She apologized and stood, brushing the dirt off her legs. "No sweat, you okay?" "ya, fine!" She turned away from me, clearly embarrassed. "it's okay if you aren't fine, Lucy. You don't have to be tough for me." I reached for her arm, turning her around and pulling her into my chest."Just take a minute. I am here. No one will hurt you." She started sobbing quietly. I don't think anyone ever comforted her. From what Axel said, she liked to be left alone, and I think everyone just gave her her space. What I know about tough, strong women is they just need to know they aren't alone.
LUCY I woke up with shooting pain down my spine and leg. When I tried to shift, it felt like I was paralyzed. There was this crushing weight on the left side of my body. Something smelled so good, like fresh rain in the forest. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in the Mountain moon pack hospital. I wasn't a patient. I was on the couch, I turned my head, and Damon was what was crushing me. He must have fallen asleep next to me, waiting for Axel and Ellen to wake up. The Events of yesterday come flooding back to me. A shudder rips through me as I remember what happened. My movements must wake Damon because he yawns and stretches. He then slips his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him. "Um... hello. Do you mind?" "What? you don't like cuddling?" "Ya, I do but with my mate, which is not you." I try to wiggle out of his grip, even though I would never admit I kind of like it. I shake my head, removing those thought
LUCY POVAunt Bonnie was arguing with a tall man, definitely a werewolf. He was angry yelling at her. Aunt Bonnie lifted the man with ease, never moving from her place in the kitchen. Ellen sat on the floor, combing a doll's hair, admiring how beautiful she was."Listen to me, Thadeus, I do not care who you are. You do not scare me. You are nothing but a pathetic werewolf. I am a Gideon witch. You will not come to my home again, or I will have your precious Damon killed or, better yet, have his wolf removed. How great would that be the Alpha's son has no wolf." She cackled like a villain."I sent Axel away. He will never know who he is. I want Ellen for myself. She will be a great resource to me. Being wolfless, she is no threat to your pack." She released her psychic hold on the man and coughed, trying to regain his composure."They better not ever come looking, or I will kill them and everyone you love."The vision fades i
DAMON POV I sat in the kitchen drinking my coffee, listening to Lucy rip into Killian. How are they even mates? He sounds like he doesn't get her at all. I guess it will be easier than I thought to win her over. My father never put much value in the mate bond. He thought a strong pack was more important. I didn't necessarily feel the same way, but I would choose Lucy in every lifetime. She is sassy, wild and has a great sense of humour. We could be happy together. I slipped out of the kitchen catching the end of Lucy's rant as she ran up the stairs. "Don't worry man, ill look out for her. She has a lot of pressure on her right now. Let her cool off." He just looked at me. At first, I thought he was going to punch me, then he clenched his jaw. "I don't need advice about my mate from some spoiled Baby Alpha. Lucy may be stressed out right now. But make no mistake she is my Luna and my mate. I will keep her." He stalked out of the packhouse. He
LUCY POVDamon was actually quite charming. Every woman in the restaurant noticed how good-looking he was. While Damon ordered the food I called Lanie to check in on Axel and Ellen. Apparently, Axel was up and moving around. Liam was back and getting stronger by the minute. I could hear Lanie's stress level coming down by the way she joked and talked with Axel while we were on the phone. I said goodbye just in time for the food to arrive."I ordered you the soup too! The girl said it's homemade and delicious." He was right it was delicious."Damon? Can I ask you something?""About 20.""What?""You want to know how many girlfriends I have had right?""HAHA no, why would I care?"I swear I thought I saw a flash of hurt cross his features but it was gone as quick as it came."Why did you volunteer to come with me? Don't you need to get back to your pack?""Isn't it obvious Lucy?" I
DAMON POVI don't know what I expected when I volunteered to accompany Lucy to find Devon. I just knew I didn't want to be away from her. For the first time since my human mate died, I felt like I could breathe again. Lucy was like coming up for fresh air. Like I was drowning and she saved me. Everything about her drew me in, her sassy attitude, her tight round ass. Her magical laugh was like my drug of choice. I had been with my fair share of women but none compare to Lucy. When I realized Killian paid her little no attention being consumed with power and gaining more land I knew this was my chance to take the lead for her affection. It wouldn't be easy but it would be simpler than if he was a good devoted mate.We were enjoying silly banter back and forth, I was trying to tell her about what a crook her grandfather Ben was but she started to have one of her episodes. I rushed her to the car and took us to a nearby hotel. I set her up in the bed and held h
Ellen POV When I told Victoria about the baby, she immediately made me take a dark magic to cleanse tonic and put me under a purification spell. I was awake but my body was paralyzed I don't know if that was what was supposed to happen but I felt stronger with Axel in the bed next to me. When he did wake up he didn't leave my side him and Maddox took turns sleeping on the couch beside my bed. I was starting to feel my magic return and I felt lighter. I was finally able to sit up and speak. I hadn't even had a chance to tell Maddox about the baby, as soon as we were alone I was going to tell him. Watching him sleep with his head on my belly I wonder if maybe he already knew, with his wolf hearing maybe he could hear their heartbeat. I wiggled my toes hoping maybe Maddox would wake up on his own and I wouldn't have to move him. Before I could even wake Maddox, Axel was at my side checking my temp and giving me water. "How long was I out?" 
LUCYIt had been a few weeks since Oliver and Victoria's visit. I had never thought about what Oliver had said. I just figured my pregnancy was because Damon was Alpha. I hadn't considered that because I was a bennet wolf, I would give birth to a Bennet child. Liza didn't have any children; I assumed Lanie would be the only one to give birth to the Bennet wolf line. I really didn't want children, but after seeing that vision of how simple and joyful life could be. I was excited. I knew why Victoria had come. I had not told Damon on purpose because it was Victoria's story to tell. The vision was about her and her mate and the horror that was about to unfold for them. I knew deep down Victoria loved her mate. She kept tabs on him. She had erased his memory of her, unwilling to face the choice she needed to make.The packhouse was finally coming together. I had moved all the omega families who worked in the packhouse and close by into the packhouse. It was loud and buzzin
DAMONI could not wait to get home to Lucy. It had been the most unbearable two weeks of my life. Dirty Facetiming was not the same as holding that gorgeous, stubborn woman in my arms. I blew passed the gate, nearly missing it as it opened for me. I sped down the perfectly paved road."Slow down, man. My werewolf healing won't heal me if you kill me. I have two baby girls who need me!" Maddox laughed while holding the holy shit handle in my truck.I parked in front of the packhouse, tossing my keys to Mikie to park it in the back."Alpha," he bowed while catching my keys. Maddox slowly strolled behind me. When Lucy and Ellen appeared behind me, I could hear Maddox's deep chuckle."You knew they would shimmer?""My mate tells me everything," he laughed and winked at Lucy, blushing. Knowing she was of few words."Angel!!" I scooped her into my arms."I missed you. Please don't ever leave me alone wit
LUCYIt had been four months since we came home from Italy. I left the warm cocoon of dancing under the stars and no threats of border breaches or blood sacrifices. When I had been Luna at Death Moon, Killian just let me do as I pleased. Damon's mother, Katarina, was a traditional woman. Never leaving Theo for all his infidelity, being okay with never being his first choice because their union was one of strategy and pack politics. I attended the local university for pre-med three days a week, and the other two days, I had been in Luna lessons. Think about the 1800s with lady lessons. That is basically what these were. Painfully polite and utterly boring. It took everything inside me not to fall asleep. I was huge for only four months pregnant. Burning the candle at both ends with Luna lessons and university classes. Any spare minute I spent sleeping or eating. Damon had been away the last two weeks on Alpha meetings and preparing for the Alpha, Beta, Gamma youth training cam
LUCYI was still a little shaky as Damon pulled me to my feet. I do not know why but I was feeling usually turned on by everything he did today. We had made love three times under the tree by the pool at the villa and then now in this unknown building. Orgasm after orgasm, and I honestly still wanted more. Was this the mate bond, or was I becoming a sex fiend?"You ready for your surprise?" Damon said, kissing my ear. His signature move. I just nodded my head. He pulled off the blindfold, and the sight before me took my breath away. We were in a giant library, like the one from beauty and the beast. I ran to the shelf ladder and climbed up, laughing. Damon was just watching me with pride and adoration in his eyes. I knew he saved this for the last day to commemorate our bond. He was more thoughtful and sensitive than anyone would ever know. He never let his walls down.I climbed down and wandered through the library. I was touching and smelling the o
DAMONThe ceremony was nice. I was happy seeing Axel and Lanie get their happy ending after everything that had happened this year. I loved seeing Lucy so relaxed and even a little bored. I got lost in our little moment in the woods. I really just wanted to be alone with her, but the mate bond really does intensify everything. Her smell was like a drug. I didn't want to stop even after everyone had caught us red-handed. I could feel Lucy's embarrassment through the bond. She let her wall slip down for just a second. When we got back to the car, and everyone's phones started buzzing, I could feel Lucy's disappointment. She liked being disconnected from all the drama of the packs. Lucy was sitting on my lap drinking her champagne, ignoring everyone checking their phones."Did you have fun at the wedding?" I whispered in her ear, trailing kisses down her neck again."It was lovely!""I have one more surprise for you tomorrow before we head back to the states
LUCYI mind-linked Damon. I was at the road. The driver waiting until he saw Damon before driving away. I didn't know what kind of date he had planned when I saw Maddox walk out of the tree line with a beer in hand."MADI!!""FLINT, how are you feeling? Your wolf giving you hell again?""Ya, she is back, and I feel alive again!! Is Ellen here too?""She will be soon, and she is on her way.""I didn't know you guys were still here?""We never left, wanted to make sure you didn't need us again. You will always be my Luna." He winked at me and made me feel at peace with everything that had happened with Killian. I wasn't sure where exactly we stood."Well, I appreciate you and Ellen. So much, you are the family I always wanted.""Same, Flint, same!" I saw a stretch hummer pull up, and Axel and Ellen jumped out. Ellen was wearing the same dress as me, which I thought was odd until Lanie climbed out. She was wearing a w
LUCYWhen Damon's fangs sank into my skin, I finally felt all his emotions, the things he keeps hidden from the world. It was overwhelming and incredible all at the same time. This was what a true mate bond felt like. Damon was everything I ever wanted. He was light and dark. He was the sun and the moon: my mate, my forever. We laid in bed for hours, laughing and talking and just basking in the finality of marking each other. Damon finally got up when my stomach started growling uncontrollably. He ordered everything on the menu from the only take-out menu we had in the villa. I snuck into the shower while Damon was in the kitchen. My body ached, but I could feel Astrid. She was quiet, but I knew she was alert and alive. I let the hot water cascade down my sore limbs. I must have lost track of time when I heard my phone ringing and Damon answering it. Telling Lanie, I would call her back. I shut off the water and dried myself. I came out of the bathroom, drying my hair with a
Hello, my amazing readers. This book is almost finished a few chapters left to finish it off. Please watch for The Cursed Bond. The story of Victoria and her mate. There are five books in this series. 1-Love and Fear 2-Unbreakable bonds 3-The Cursed Bond 4-Blood Moon Assassins 5-Legacies The next book should be approved and ready to start by early May. Thank you so much for reading. DAMON I was feeling anxious, days had passed since the harvest moon, Lucy was getting stronger every day but she still wasn't awake. Victoria said that she was in limbo for longer than is ideal and they can't guarantee how her mental state would have been altered. She could be the same old Lucy or she could be darker. Only a few demons had escaped hell when they opened the wall separating our realms. I knew Victoria had access to some dark magic but opening the hell dimension was more than I was prepared for.
MADDOXI did not want Ellen coming to Italy to perform a risky spell when she could go into labour any day. We brought the pack doctor along just in case, but I was still pissed. Why did everyone always need Ellen for everything? No one cared if she used too much energy, endangering her and the twins—our baby girls. I watched as she chanted, and I could feel her getting tired through the bond. She removed her hands from Lucy's face and gripped Oliver and Victoria's hands. The lights blew out of the room, and the only light was coming from the moon. She chanted harder, and a scream tore out of her. And I wanted to break her out of the trance, and as if Axel and Damon could read my mind, they held me back. I watched, rooted in place, as she fell to her knees, still chanting, gripping their hands. Oliver's body started convulsing, and Victoria lifted Ellen to her feet. Was the spell over? Was that it? Was Lucy okay? I swear everyone was moving in slow motion when I heard E
