LUCY
When 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
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
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 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
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
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 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
Axel grew up in a small town adopted by human parents when his mother died during childbirth. He never needed to look for his birth father because his foster parents were all he needed. Kade and Laurel treated Axel like the son they always wanted. He was given everything a boy could want. When Axel shifted for the first time, he had no idea what was happening to him. His body got really hot and itchy. He had this pounding headache for days. They lived on the forest side of town, so he decided to take a walk and get some fresh air, maybe take a swim in the river if that helped cool his aching itchy body. He stumbled over rocks and tree roots, the smell of the trees becoming stronger, and he could hear everything. The wind in the trees, the heartbeats of rabbits running and the rushing river seemed to be so loud he covered his ears. He did his best to breathe through the pain he felt all over his body. He laid on the ground next to the river, waiting for the pain t
AXEL We left the packhouse, Alpha Killian, nowhere to be found. Maddox said he had pack business to deal with. I placed Lucy in the back seat, and buckled her in Laura Lucy's birth mother Slid in, and placed Lucy's head on her lap. Lanie, my Mate, with her feet on her lap. Maddox was driving, and I took shotgun. We had two warriors in front in an SUV and a warrior and Liza in the back in an SUV. Maddox said those were Killian's requests if Lucy, his Mate, came to the mountain moon pack. As we left on the dusty road, we saw a large black wolf standing on the mountain ledge. He let out a heartbreaking howl. I recognized the wolf as Diesel Killains wolf. He was hurting. I could not imagine letting Lanie leave for months, even if it was for her own good. They had been through so much. I was excited to get to Mountain Moon pack and start our family. Now that Lucy was coming with us to train with Liza, I felt like my family was whole. Even if it was only temporary. I really did th

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
