Lahat ng Kabanata ng LUNAR BONDS: WHEN FATE DEFIES HIERARCHY: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

DAISYThe look in his eyes has changed completely.There's a hunger there that wasn't present before, a primal need that makes my skin flush with heat.I realize It's the wolf in him and I can feel Aru stirring restlessly within me, responding to the call of her mate.I swallow hard, trying to gather my scattered thoughts."I... I'm always with you," I stammer as my cheeks grows warmer by the second. "What... do you mean exactly?"A knowing smile plays at the corners of his mouth, revealing just a hint of the predator that lurks under his human exterior.His eyes never leave mine as he reaches out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering on my cheek in a touch so gentle it makes my heart ache.The simple contact sends electricity racing through my veins."You know very well what I mean, Daisy," his voice is like a caress that sends goosebumps racing across my skin. "I can't stand it anymore. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and if you're not ready

DAISYHe does so slowly and carefully, watching my face for any sign of discomfort.The friction is strange at first but as my body adjusts and welcomes him, the sensation transforms into something entirely different. Something warm, building and incredibly right.A soft moan escapes me as he establishes a gentle rhythm and I see the relief and pleasure flash across his features.His movements are controlled, measured, designed to bring me pleasure rather than simply take his own.Every stroke is deliberate, angled to hit spots inside me that make me gasp and arch beneath him."Better?" he asks strained but tender."Much better," I manage to gasp out and my hands slide up to tangle in his hair. "Don't stop."I exhale shakily, my body gradually relaxing into his.He waits, patient, allowing me to adjust.The discomfort lingers, it's dull but manageable and when I shift experimentally, the sensation shifts with it.My body begins to yield, welcoming him and slowly, the pain gives way to

DAISY"I don't want to see Melissa or anyone else at school today," I confess as Damian drives us toward Lunar Crest Academy.The imposing Gothic buildings come into view through the windshield, looking more intimidating than ever in the morning light."Surely by now everyone knows I'm your mate." I say.The thought of facing the student body, especially those loyal to Melissa, makes my stomach churn with anxiety.News travels at the speed of light in the supernatural community and a development as significant as the Alpha's mate being identified would spread like wildfire through every social circle and pack hierarchy.Damian's hand finds mine across the center console, his thumb tracing soothing circles on my skin.The simple touch reminds me that I'm no longer facing these challenges alone."Don't worry about them as long as you're with me," his voice is filled with a quiet confidence that helps calm my frayed nerves.There's a new protectiveness in his tone, a determination that w

DAISYI lie there for a moment, staring up at the high ceiling, my limbs feeling like they're made of lead, too heavy to lift for another punishing round.The taste of defeat is bitter on my tongue, made worse by the knowledge that Melissa won't show the restraint Professor Datun does.In a real fight, I would already be dead several times over.'We need to be stronger,' Aru whispers urgently in my mind. 'This isn't enough. We're running out of time.'Professor Datun stands over me, his expression thoughtful as he studies my prone form."You need much more intensive training," he says offering a hand to help me up.I take it gratefully, wincing as my overworked muscles protest the movement."But I've noticed something interesting about you. You possess an energy that's uncommon even among those in the S class." He observes."What do you mean by that?" I blink up at him, confusion momentarily overriding my exhaustion. “He shakes his head slightly, eyes narrowing as if trying to see so

KEVINToday is my turn to guard Daisy's grandmother or rather, my grandmother.My mother's mother.The sterile hospital room feels suffocating, like the walls are slowly closing in on me as I sit in this uncomfortable plastic chair beside her bed.I've been here for hours now, just watching the rise and fall of her chest, studying the lines etched deep into her face that match Mom's so perfectly it's almost eerie.The harsh lights cast unflattering shadows over her pale skin, making her appear even more fragile than she already is.Every breath she takes feels precious, like it could be her last.I can't stop thinking about the broken state Mom has reached because of what happened to Grandma and Daisy.Years of separation and of carefully guarded secrets and necessary lies have hollowed her out from the inside like a tree rotting at its core.Every single time Daisy's name gets mentioned, I see the pain flash across Mom's face like lightning in a storm.It's a wound that has never hea
