DAMON
I woke up with Lucy still sound asleep in my arms. She literally looked like an angel, her messy blonde hair cascading down her back, the sunlight sneaking through the blinds. I knew we needed to get on the road, but I did not want to let her go. How could I feel this much for someone I just met. She couldn't be my mate. I needed to talk to Esmerelda, but she hated phones, so I would have to wait until I got on pack land. I leaned in and rested my head on Lucy's shoulder. I could stay like this forever. I never thought I would feel this for anyone. I had never got the chance to touch my first mate before she was ripped from my life. When I think about it now. I never felt for her what I feel for Lucy. I could live on her laugh alone and that sexy way she tosses her hair from side to side. The way she jumps first and thinks second. She is impulsive and thoughtful. I wonder which part is her wolf and which part is her.
Lucy began to stir awake. She turned to
LUCY I was feeling so confused. How could I feel this way about Damon? I have a mate. How do I not feel this way for Killian? He was good to me. He took care of me and loved me. We were marked and mated. How could I treat him this way? Almost like he could read my mind, Damon reached over, placing his hand over my hand. "Lucy, I am sorry. I didn't mean to push you. I don't want you feeling badly about whatever this is between us. I honestly think we could be mates. I read it is uncommon, but it does happen. Let's just wait and see what Esmerelda says when we stop at my pack." "How long until we get there?" "About another hour, it's close to the city Devon lives in. We will stay the night and head into the city for the weekend." I relaxed in my seat and let Damon put on his techno music. I was thinking of all that has happened in the last few weeks. I had to tell Killian about the kiss. I had to tell him I had feelings for someo
DAMONI was talking about border patrol with my Beta and Gamma when Lucy walked into the garden. I had to keep my jaw from dropping to the floor. She walked in looking so effortlessly elegant. I left the guys standing there, grabbing a glass of champagne off the bar for Lucy. I walked up, handing her the glass and taking her arm."Should we walk? I want to show you the garden.""I would like that." I didn't know it was possible for this girl to be any more beautiful, yet here she is, a total knockout. If Killian did kill me, it would be worth every second I got to spend with this enchantress."Wow, Damon, this Place is absolutely stunning.""Nothing is more beautiful than you, angel." I saw a blush creep across Lucy's face."Stop that. I have a mate.""I know you do but, maybe I can win you over.""Damon, had I met you before, I think yes, we could have maybe had a different ending up.
DAMON I finally calmed down enough to go back to the packhouse. I was toast. I ran so hard my wolf Hunter whined he wanted to get back to Lucy. He was really attached to her. Another reason by I am sure we are mates. Her Link might be severed, but I will win her back. I can't believe my father. He is sorry. He is sorry he beat Victoria and me and let his father beat us. Treat us like slaves. Victoria was so tiny when he had her tied to a pole and whipped until she was barely conscious, and now he is sorry. Fuck that Fuck him. I don't need him; I never did. He doesn't get to all of a sudden be a decent person. He was a shitty dad, a shitty mate and a shitty Alpha. I am Alpha now, and I am better than he ever was. I make us stronger. I made us united. I stopped outside Lucy's room. I lifted my hand no knock but decided better of it. She doesn't need this drama. She has her own. I turn to leave when the door opens, and I feel her arms slip under mine and around my waist. I twis
DAMONWe had stopped by Devon's apartment around noon. His doorman said he hadn't been here in a few days. Sometimes he stays with his girlfriend. I convinced Lucy to go to the mall and do some shopping. I wanted to check out this store that sold kid's stuff for the twins. Ever since I saw that vision of Axel and me as boys, I wanted to do something for the twins. We wandered around the mall for a while. I found out Lucy's favourite ice cream was tiger eye. Who likes licorice ice cream. I had made dinner reservations at this city's botanical gardens. I wanted to make Lucy feel completely loved by me. We laughed and ate a lot. I loved making her laugh. She became everything to me in such a short time. Her laugh, the way she scrunches her face when something is too spicy. The way she pops her p's when she says YUP!After dinner, we took the bottle of Champaign, and we wandered around the garden looking at all the flowers and taking notes of all Lucy's favourites. W
LUCYAfter Melody removed the dark magic from my body, I could feel Astrid sinking back to the recess of my mind. Whereas before, she was always on edge like she was on a tight rope and could slip at any time. I could feel her looming over me, over every decision I made, every emotion I felt. It was oddly peaceful but lonely having her so far back in my subconscious. Was this how normal wolf/human counterparts interacted? Damon was beaming. He was so happy we were actually fated mates like he knew all along, and Melody confirmed it all for him. I am delighted too, really happy but also shocked and betrayed that Kilian would do that to me. That he would trick me like that. He acted like he loved me, but all he wanted was my abilities, womb, and bloodline. I felt my blood boil, and I was trying so hard to shove it down so Astrid wouldn't come forward. Then I noticed she wasn't there. She was just in my mind, not bothered by this at all. I reached out to her.
ELLEN I sobbed when Lucy told me that Killian used dark magic to trick her. I knew Maddox had known. He acted so weird that day in the hospital. It didn't take long before I was full-on raging. Wow, these baby hormones are intense. "Haha, apparently, it's worse with twins." "I can't believe you will both have twins under two years old. I don't know that I ever want kids." I watched as Lanie rocked Asher in the rocking chair. "Oh, Lucy, I thought the same. I felt like how we could pass that on to kids with our messed-up wolves—but then seeing Axel's face when they kicked for the first time and then watching him sing Violet to sleep with her favourite country song even though he hates country music. Nothing like it." and just like that, my anger dissipated, and I was more in love with Maddox all over again. "So Lucy, Damon is your destined mate. How did you feel when you found out?" I had to know what a crazy turn of events but I was
DAMONI watched as Lucy confronted Killian. I wanted so badly to rip his throat out. Not only for keeping me from my mate but for hurting Lucy. She loved him even without the bond. Would she have ever felt that way about me without the mate bond? It took everything inside me not to shift and kill him. When he reached for her, I lost it—charging forward but keeping Hunter in check."Don't touch my mate, or I will kill you and take everything you own." I roared with a rage so deep and thick I almost choked on my own words." There it was, the look I had been waiting for as he questioned her being my mate. When we arrived back, Lucy was bursting at the seems to tell the girls. They were shocked, to say the least, and Axel was silent. He didn't say anything. I couldn't tell if he was mad or glad or just pissed Killian hurt Lucy. I know I was barely containing Hunter. Hunter wanted to murder him. Hunter was a lot less rational than I am. He is a warri
LUCY I don't remember the exact moment I started to fall apart. I just remember the faces of the ones who loved me most. I confronted Killian. Barley keeping it together. I wanted to run to Damon, but part of me wanted to run away completely. I had no pack. I was no Luna. Everything I knew was a lie. I felt myself begin to break when Axel looped his arm under my back, and we walked into the kitchen. Axel knew exactly what I needed. He lifted onto the counter my favourite place beside the coffee pot. He reached over and handed me the peanut butter and a spoon. Damon walked in, and for some reason, I was embarrassed. I couldn't even look at him. I was embarrassed that Killian tricked me, that I fell for his fake charm. I am supposed to be the Bennet wolf, and I swoon the first time some sexy guy pays me any attention. Axel was the only person to always have my back. I am not saying Damon would hurt me, but he is a man, so who knows. How do I even know this mate bond is
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
