I knew I should have told Damon and Lucy sooner about Oliver. He just didn't want to add to their pain. Knowing the academy sold him to an assassin's guilt as an infant. Trained to murder and kill for their own selfish gain. Pawns and assets, headshots and blood spatter. We were all damaged and carried our own baggage. I remember my first forced kill. It was what ultimately shattered me—fracturing my relationship with Zarina, my wolf, damning me to a life-alone laser focus on protecting my family. Zarina tried to tell me we didn't have to kill, that we could survive without doing as they were told. I was just a child, eight years old. Everyone thought it was Zarina who was unhinged, but it was me. I used my magic to hurt people. I was no better than dark witches.
We only had a few hours before the Delta team headed out. I needed to shake off these feelings. I was normally much better at controlling my emotions. Nothing ever distracted me, but the

LUCYI opened my eyes to Killian carrying me."What are you doing?""You collapsed in the hub. I am taking you to lay down.""Killian, I am quite capable of walking.""I know you are, little wolf, but I am going to put you in bed, and you can rest." I had to admit. It was nice being carried. I was so tired. Both physically and emotionally. Killian never treated me like a fragile child. Killian placed me on the bed and went to leave."Thank you, Killian," I was genuinely grateful for his intervention. How embarrassing that was. I am supposed to be this big bad bennet wolf."I will always have your back, even if I messed up being your mate." He looked sad, like he really did regret what he did."I really did love you, even without the mate bond. I never felt the bond the way I feel it with Damon. But Killian, you didn't need the Mate Bond to make me fall in love with you. You are worthy o

VICTORIAOnce we narrowed down the exact location, I mobilized the teams. I had to admit the drama with Oliver and Lucy was distracting, but I am happy to have him on the mission. We had been on a lot of assignments together. Aside from Matice and Amon, there wasn't anyone I trusted more.I linked Ellen and my magic before I left to draw on her power if I needed it. I needed her home safe taking care of those precious babies. How strange it was Axel and Ellen both having twins in the same year. I felt a pang of jealousy, knowing I would never have that. I broke my chance at having a mate, having a real connection, when I chose the guild over my soul. My soul mate did not deserve my heart's broken mess even if I did let them in. I would never do that to them, and I would never bring a child into this evil world. War and hate, evil had seeped its way into every aspect of today's world. I heard Oliver and the other archers pull out of the compound. I sat on my bik

LUCYI woke up feeling like I had the flu. It was a weird feeling, like I was here but not here. I could hear voices in the background, but I couldn't make out like I was in a dream."Astrid? you there?""Lucy, I am here, but I am trapped with magic. You are going to have to get us out of here. All the training you have had with Axel and Kade. Now is when you need to use it. Be strong. There is not a single thing you can not handle. I will be here with you. I just can't help you. Damon is close. You just have to hang on a little longer. I am going to lay down. I feel sick.""Okay, Astrid, you rest. It is my turn to take care of you." I left her energy drain as her presence was gone. I had never felt so alone. Even when she shoved me out, I still knew she was there. I started to feel stronger. Whatever they gave me was wearing off. I could hear them more clearly."Matilda said to keep her alive and unharmed. We can't risk her wolf

LUCY I came to, and my legs and arms were chained in metal this time. I was still naked from shifting, and there were more hunters—two with guns on either side of the door. The guy I headbutted and kicked in the head was sitting in one of the chairs at the table. He had a glass of some amber liquid and an ice pack on his face. The other guard sat in the chair across from him twirling a silver blade between his fingers. He looked deranged. I slowly moved my head upright, trying not to draw attention to the fact I was awake. As soon as I did, I felt hot breath on my neck from behind. "Ah, she wakes." The voice comes out like a snake. It gives me chills. Everyone is now looking at me. Great, what am I supposed to do now? I felt a blade run down my arm, not cutting me but burning as it was dragged down my arm. I bit down so I wouldn't scream. Just think of Damon, fishing or dancing. Remember all you have to live for. The twins, Axel Lanie, if she wakes. The family I always w

DAMONI watched Lucy sleep for another two hours. Vadar decided he would stay with her, protect her and make sure the medics didn't miss anything. I needed to bring home the Twins. Ellen and Axel were counting on me. We might not have grown up as siblings, but they are my family. The sins of my grandfather and father won't plague the next generations. I finished loading my bag, filling my vervain grenades, wolfsbane darts, magic dampening cuffs and some magic fog. I was not going in unprepared. We had precisely two hours before the moon was at its apex, and they would begin whatever spell they had up their sleeve."You ready, man?""Ya Killian, let's get those kids back where they belong."We made our way from camp up to the cave opening of the mountain. Amon cut his hand and opened the passage as soon as we all passed through the cave opening. You could feel the temperature drop. Like something evil was lurking. The passageway seemed to

LUCYI was in and out of this weird dream. Astrid and I were little girls, not werewolves, just humans, two little girls utterly oblivious to the dangers lurking around every corner. We were playing on the swings. Skipping rocks on the pond near, I don't even remember a pond where we grew up. I felt hot and cold, and I kept seeing a baby being snatched from a screaming woman after labour. She looked familiar, but I didn't know her. I wanted to help the women. The dream faded in and out until I heard a voice bring me back to reality."They are asking for Razor.""He is in IT right now running surveillance on mountain moon. What do they need?""Apparently, Alpha Nash, Angel of death and the girl twin, are trapped in a room with barrier spells, and Amon doesn't want to portal in, not knowing what he is portalling to. The Beta from Death Moon wants in there. He is insistent." I snapped my eyes open."I can get in that room."

VICTORIAI knew I would meet my mate eventually, but I was surprised it would be the high warlock. Fate could be cruel. I fought my whole life against the warlock movement. They were generally evil and power-hungry. As much as I was surprised, I was mated to the high warlock. I was more surprised he was raised human and never tapped into his magic. This could be a game-changer for someone not tainted by dark power and evil. They could unite the factions. I had never heard of a white warlock, but it was worth checking into. I can't feel the mate bond because I am only seventeen, but the oracle showed me what he looked like when Devon laid eyes on me when I first busted into that room. I knew he could feel it, feel something. He was afraid for me and didn't know why. He was too scared to know what anything was. Raised by humans, he probably didn't even know what a mate was. I had Mayhem erase his memory of meeting me until I could figure something out. Normally vamps can'

ELLENI called Mrs. Lawson, and she was excited to be offered the job. She was going to start tomorrow after her vetting by Victoria finished. Axel needed help, and Liza was getting worn out. Even after travelling, she came back more worn, tired and weaker. I thought having the break would give her more energy. She was in with Emily and the twins. Emily was pulling double duty. Cooking and managing all the packhouse omegas and now Nanny too! She was one of the few trusted on the upper levels. Axel escorted anyone on the upper levels. They always had eyes on them. Maddox was at Death moon this week running the pack while Killian was off wooing his mate.I was finally all snuggled into my bed with snacks and my show when Axel texted. Said to get ready, Mason was coming to escort me to the gate. Why moon goddess, why? I am so tired. I just want to be in bed. I begrudgingly tossed the covers back and put pants on. Maddox had sent some omegas to town to buy me materni

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
