All Chapters of LUNAR BONDS: WHEN FATE DEFIES HIERARCHY: Chapter 131 - Chapter 137

DAISYMy parents and brother shift back to human form, quickly donning clothes provided by pack members who rush forward with robes and simple garments.They move to stand with us, Dad taking Mom's hand as they position themselves beside Damian and his father.The gesture is simple but profound. It's a family united after years of forced separation.Kevin approaches Catherine with a smile, then turns to wink at me before joining the line of defense.The gesture is so casual, so brotherly that it momentarily distracts me from the tension of the situation.In that brief moment, I glimpse what might have been. A lifetime of such interactions, of growing up with a brother who teased and protected me in equal measure."Council members," Dad announces with authority that matches Damian's father's."I, Alpha Albert, declare before you that I have bonded with my Class B mate and I will continue my life with her." He squeezes Mom's hand with a determined expression. "And if you refuse to accep

DAISYThe room falls silent as he revelation hangs between us, so shocking that for a moment, no one seems to know how to respond.Damian's father rises slowly from his seat, his expression thunderous."Explain yourself, Eric. These are serious accusations." He says."The Council members, Father, deserve to be punished because they've caused the deaths of hundreds to satisfy their own desires," Eric's voice grows stronger with each word.He begins to lay out the evidence methodically.Property records showing a secluded estate registered under a false name but paid for with Council funds.Photographs of the Council leader with a beautiful woman who clearly bears the distinctive markings of a Class S wolf ad witness testimonies from servants who worked at the estate."They've torn families apart, driven wolves to suicide from grief, all while their leader has been secretly mated to a Class S wolf. The hypocrisy is staggering." The report reads.I glance at Damian, who's smiling with gr

DAISYMy relationship with Mom is simpler, untainted by feelings of abandonment.She never chose to leave me. She was forced away, her heart breaking as she was separated from her child.The years have been kinder to her than to Dad, her face still youthful despite the silver threading through her dark hair.There's a desperation in her embrace when she holds me, as if she's afraid I might disappear if she lets go.We spend hours talking, filling in the gaps of our lives, creating new memories to replace those that were stolen from us.She tells me stories of her childhood, of how she met Dad, of the brief happy months they had together before the Council discovered their forbidden union."What are you thinking about so intently?" I jump at Damian's voice, startled by his sudden appearance behind me.His arms wrap around my waist, pulling me back to his chest as I finish arranging my hair for the celebration.His reflection appears behind mine in the mirror. Tall and broad-shouldered,

DAISYI don't get to finish my sentence because Damian lets out a joyful shout that draws the attention of everyone nearby.His face transforms, shock giving way to wonder and then to pure, unbridled joy.Before I can say another word, his lips are on mine, the kiss filled with such love and happiness that tears spring to my eyes.His arms tighten around me, lifting me slightly off the ground as he spins us in a circle, oblivious to the curious stares of the other dancers.When we finally break apart, both breathless, he rests his forehead on mine."A baby," he whispers in a voice thick with emotion.His eyes shine with unshed tears and through our bond, I feel his overwhelming joy, his pride, his love for me and the child we've created together."Our baby." He corrects.His hand moves to rest gently on my still-flat stomach, a protective gesture that makes my heart swell.The warmth of his palm seeps through the thin fabric of my dress and I cover his hand with mine, both of us marvel
