All Chapters of Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“I thought you said she was dead,” I said, disappointment evident in my voice. The pieces of the puzzle fell into place now.“I’m sorry.” Andrew said, only making me angry.“sorry for deceiving me with this mark? Sorry for lying to me from the beginning?” I whispered, my voice about to break.“Sorry for obviously only wanting to use me so you could mark this arranged bride of yours! Tell me, do you love her … and don’t you lie to me!” I said louder, turning to him as tears fell from my eyes. Tears of anger and hurt.He tried to wipe it away, but I slapped his hand away before he could.“Its not like that Alina.” he said, shame evident in his tone. Shame that belonged there.“Do you love her?!” I shouted. His eyes glowed as his wolf threatened to take over.“No!” he growled, and the heaviness in my heart became slightly more bearable. Slightly lighter. Part of me was relieved. But part of me knew that only time would tell.“But I need you to heal her,” he said, not even looking me in t

Three years later.Andrew’s pov:“so how long is this still going to take?” alpha henry slammed his fist on the table cracking my desk in the middle.“Alpha henry I suggest you calm down. My mate has almost drained every bit of her power to heal your daughter. It has taken its toll on her. I suggest you become more patient as we cannot afford to lose my mate because that would cost you your daughter as well.” I said sternly. Holding his glare with my own.He stormed out of the office past my mate, who was waiting just outside the door.her complection bleak and her under eyes are black. Her hair no longer had the bounce it used to and had become very brittle breaking off the long locks I used to love.She now had thinned out hair that barely reached shoulder length. Her cheeks had become hollow. Whilst her body looked fragile.The sparkle in her eyes when she saw me disappeared after the day we marked each other. The only time she ever came to see me was after a healing session that d

As I looked around the room, confused at what Andrew could mean. “I didn’t do anything”. I whispered and Alpha henry’s grin only grew wider.I saw Andrew get even more frustrated as he exited the room, refusing to talk to me any longer. I couldn’t understand how the ground beneath me shifted so quickly.How I was suddenly viewed as a wronging ever after saving her life. After giving my everything for the last three years.“I suggest you act quickly,” alpha henry said, leaving the room. I crawled to the bathroom, hoping that some water would clear my head.Help me understand the chaos that just happened. As I rinsed my face off in the basin after pulling myself up, I saw my reflection in the mirror. I looked like a walking corpse.My hair falling out in clumps, leaving bald spots all over my skin so pale. My lips are chapped and grey. I guess I gave too much of myself to ever.No wonder she looked like a million bucks. Whilst I look like I’m only a few steps away from my own grave.“Al

Two years laterAlinas pov:“I’m sorry John, I can’t,” I said, feeling absolutely like a complete b*tch. I saw his smile fade from his face. “Can I ask why?” he asked, feeling well rejected. And understandably so.“I just don’t date now, John. I have a child that comes first, and he doesn’t need big changes in his life right now.” I said as nicely as I could, hoping to convey my genuine reasons. Understanding the importance of stability for my child, I couldn’t prioritize my personal life at the moment.He nodded, comprehending the weight of my words. “Okay, I understand, Alina. I’m so sorry about...” he trailed off, attempting to backtrack and salvage the situation.“Don’t be,” I said, trying to be nice and reassure him that his feelings were valid. However, I couldn’t help but notice the spark reignite in his eyes. A spark of hope that maybe there would be a chance in the near future.“I would just prefer us to be colleagues and keep it at that if you wouldn’t mind,” I added, hoping

Days have elapsed, and Andrew has remained unseen since our last meeting.However, that encounter has shaken me to the core.It was like an earth-shattering event, threatening to destroy everything I knew. I couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease, and I became hyper-aware of anything that might seem out of the ordinary.Deep down, I knew the power Andrew held, and I understood that if he wanted to, he could have eyes on me in an instant.But it was his words that haunted me the most.“I want you,” he had said, and those words replayed in my mind relentlessly, like an unwelcome tenant that refused to pay rent. It was both unsettling and infuriating.Did Andrew truly believe that after all these years, he could simply waltz back into my life and expect me to leap into his arms like some lost love?There was no love left between us, no chance for anything to grow. He made sure of that the day he asked me to heal Eve.And he buried our future the day he switched sides and falsely blamed
