All Chapters of A Forbidden Bond: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I watch Ashton approach me and my breath hitches. I had not seen him for so long that I forgot some of his physical features. Not that I would ever forget him but his image in my mind was getting blurry.I walk towards him and he gives me a warm smile when we reach each other. ”It’s nice seeing you, Lara. I’m so happy that you could make it.” “It’s nice being here too,” I replied and looked around, admiring the mansion. “Mind if I give you a hug?”“Oh, no. Of course, you can give me a hug,” I chuckle, and we both embrace. He smells really good and I take in his scent. “How was your trip here?” Ashton asks when we break the hug. He begins to lead me to the entrance of the mansion.“It was good…” My voice is bland and void of emotions. I thought that I was ready to be here but I don’t think that I am. The stupid voice in my head keeps reminding me that I would have had all of this life if I had just chosen to be with Ashton. It would have been my baby shower. But I’m okay with it.

We stayed with Harper and her mother while they called the police and told them everything. Harper confessed that her mother was just trying to protect her and that it was not pre-meditated. They tried their best to explain themselves but I guess the justice system would be the one deciding their fate.Harper and her mom did what they told me that they would do, they left Zayn, Bunny, Azula, and me out of their confession. “Everything’s going to be okay,” I tell them as the officers take them away. I feel a bit bad but I’m sure that this is the best thing for them right now. This was an inevitable end result. They would have gotten caught anyway so it was best that they turned themselves in.I leave the house and head back to Zoe and Ashton. When I reached there, I realize that they were all in the backyard around something like a campfire. My parents were there, along with Ashton, Zoe, and even Tessa.“You were out for long, where were you?” Zoe asks me when I sat next to Tessa and

I stared at her for a few seconds while she smiled. She had a look on her face that told me that she knew more than she was letting on. “Sure, come in.” I allowed her to enter the place and I closed the door once she was in.The music was still playing in the house and I walked to the kitchen island and took the remote for the stereo. I turned off the music with the remote and I led the girl to the living room. When we both sat down, I waited for her to tell me why she was there.“So, as I told you, I would love for you to have an open mind about what I’m about to tell you…” She began and I nodded in response.“Of course.”“So I am a demon and I have been living here in demon territory for eons.”I chuckled a bit when she said this. “Eons? Come on, I’m not dumb. Demons here in the material realm age. I know this.”“Which is why I told you to have an open mind…”“Okay, I’m sorry. You may continue.” I crossed my right leg over the other, ready to give her the benefit of the doubt.“As I

After my chat with Julia, she made me promise to keep all that she told me a secret, and although I wanted to tell her no, I said yes. She then gave me a tour of her house, which was lovely by the way. It reminded me of my home back home. Not the really new nice one that parents or Zoe now lived in; but the one that we shared for so many years. I stayed there longer than I had thought I would. I ended up helping her make dinner and after we ate, she told me about her parents.“My dad was a vampire, and my mom was a demon.” She chuckled lowly and looked like she was creating an image of them in her mind. “They died when I was about to graduate from high school. Well…they were killed.”“What?” I gasped lowly, and she gave me a smile to let me know that it was okay. “Very few people, now including you, know that vampires exist. There is a town so far away from the Werewolf Territory and Demon Territory. That town is practically non-existent in the eyes of demons and werewolves. But it

I sat at the table and allowed myself to process the information. Zayn and Bunny have lived in Demon Territory their whole lives. In fact, Zayn was the one that built this city. So when they’re telling me this, I think I should at least try to listen. “Okay,” I said in a breathy way but they all heard me. “Okay, what?” They all asked at the same time and I chuckled lowly. “I will do what you all are advising. I would stay away from Julia. But before I do that, I need to know the full story.” I intertwined my fingers on the shiny wood table. “Do you want me to tell the story?” Bunny asked Zayn and he nodded slowly.“Only if you feel comfortable.” “It was a few years ago. Zayn was still consumed by his hatred for the werewolf people and I was still traumatized from thinking that I had lost my brother.” Bunny began, and she glanced at Hamish when she mentioned him. A grateful look covered her face.“Julia approached us and told us the saddest sob story yet. She then offered to help
