All Chapters of Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"What do you mean?"Alina's voice was barely more than a whisper, raw with grief and confusion.I could see her slowly cracking apart. like a plate ready to shatter.I wanted to take that pain away. I needed to.But we didn’t have time for that.“It’s not safe here,” I said, my voice coming out sharper than I intended. “We need to leave.”Her head snapped up, eyes burning with something fierce despite the weight pressing down on her.“Leave? And go where?” she challenged.She had always been stubborn. But this wasn’t about pride.“You’re coming with me,” I said, my tone leaving no room for argument.Her expression turned to stone. “That place isn’t my home, it’s hell,” she bit out. “I’d rather die than go back there with you. I was foolish once, Andrew. I won’t make that mistake again.”Her words hit harder than I wanted to admit.I had already lost her once.I wasn’t about to lose her again.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth, my thoughts racing. Shadow was roaring i

Ever since Alina had left, I never really got much sleep. Shadow used it as a way to torture me for taking his mate away from him.Even though he wasn’t the only one hurting.Every time I closed my eyes he would howl as loud as possible, making it impossible to get any proper shut eye. However, didn't tonight he didn’t tonight, he was quiet.And yet here I was, still struggling to fall asleep after everything that has happened in the last few hours.Replaying the night as a whole in my mind made my arms feel empty as I held onto the ghost of her.I could feel her body ever so slightly where her body touched mine, and yet it felt empty without her there now.Hoping to get myself to bed, II made my way to the fridge to get some milk. I heard someone huffing and puffing so hard they wanted to blow the little piggies house down.And the bed springs working. I stood in the door frame watching her tossing and turning as she sighs feeling frustrated.I couldn’t help but smile.Maybe sleep wa

Two days after the funeral, we set out for a small cottage not too far from the palace. The place was hidden and easy to protect. It was also much safer than staying in the city. The woods allowed my most trusted guards to protect her in their wolf form at all times.The cottage was also protected by spells that only allowed those from the royal bloodline to pass through. It was created by my grandmother and her witch friend when war broke out between the packs. It was designed to protect the women and children of our line in order to keep our pack going in the worst-case scenario.As long as I held Alina’s hand, she could pass through. The spell would see that as an invitation. However it also knew i would have to take the first step in.However, this spell had told me everything I needed to know.Liam passed through even though he hadn’t touched me in any way.Had he not been my son he wouldve been stopped from entering. Alina was unaware that the spell wouldn’t work if Liam had

Andrew threw the file down with such strength and weight that the sound of it hitting the table echoed through the forest. I looked down at the file, already having a feeling of what it could be. I knew this would come up sooner rather than later.“What is this?” I asked, meeting his eyes.He fixed his suit jacket as he leaned back into the chair.“That there contains a truth. But if you open it up without coming clean, I will walk out, and there will be no trust between us.Therefore, no us at all. You said you wanted to give me a chance. How about you give me a fair one?” he said, looking deeply into my eyes.“I’m not understanding,” I said, trying to play dumb.He leaned in closer, placing his elbows on the table.“I want us to start on a clean page, don’t you?” he asked, and I nodded.“Great, now that we’re on the same page, I feel like you haven’t been completely honest with me. And I want all lies out of the way before we can start building on our relationship. Lies make for a

He kissed me gently on the head and cupped my cheeks, forcing me to look at him.He wiped my tears away slowly before he met my gaze.“I will never give up on us again. I will never put someone above this family of ours again. We might not have started out great, but I promise you, I will ensure we have a great journey together until the end.I love you, Alina.”I was at a loss for words, and I just stared at him.“You don’t have to say it now. But just know I love you. And in time, I can only hope you will do the same.Let’s enjoy the rest of our evening and leave all of this behind us.”And that’s exactly what we did.The night started off slow, but soon we were laughing, talking, and reigniting the spark that had almost died.I saw the side of Andrew that he shared with so few.The side that made those sparks light up in the first place.His soft and funny side the one that I loved so much.The one that didn’t fit the role of an Alpha.But that’s not why I loved him.I didn’t care
