Semua Bab LUNAR BONDS: WHEN FATE DEFIES HIERARCHY: Bab 51 - Bab 60

DAISYOne moment he's sitting beside me, the next he's grabbed me and pinned me to the wall.The impact knocks the breath from my lungs and I gasp in shock, my head spinning from the sudden movement.The cool surface of the wall presses into my back, a stark contrast to the heat of his body pressed close to mine.Every nerve ending comes alive where our bodies connect, sending electric currents racing through my system.I open my eyes to find his face inches from mine, his breath warm on my skin.What truly stops my heart are his eyes. They're no longer their usual color, instead burning with an orange fire that seems to glow in the dim light.They're inhuman and primal. These are the eyes of the wolf within him. The transformation is both terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time.I can't look away because I'm caught in that burning gaze like a moth drawn to flame. The intensity of his stare makes my pulse race and my breathing shallow."You will not be with anyone else," his voice

DAISYI freeze for a moment, debating whether to stay hidden in the bedroom or face whatever confrontation is happening below.Aru pushes for the latter, her curiosity and protective instincts flaring to life.'We need to see what's happening,' she insists. 'This concerns us too.'I rush out of the room and down the stairs, my heart pounding with each step.The wooden stairs creak under my weight, announcing my approach before I reach the bottom.I pause on the last step and take in the scene before me, trying to assess the situation.In the living room, Damian stands facing Melissa whose face is contorted with pure rage.Her normally perfect hair is slightly disheveled, as if she rushed here without taking her usual time to style it to perfection.She's gesturing wildly, her voice rising with each word that spills from her lips.Damian's back is to me, though I can see the tension in his shoulders and the rigid line of his spine as he faces her fury with apparent calm.She spots me o

DAISYDamian’s shirt. It's gone.I distinctly remember packing it this morning before leaving his house.It was my secret comfort that made me feel close to him when he was with Melissa.The shirt had become something of a talisman for me.A tangible connection to Damian when everything else about our relationship was so confusing and painful.I would hold it close at night, breathing in his scent. It helped me sleep when my thoughts were too chaotic, too filled with images of him and Melissa together.I burst out of the bathroom and begin tearing apart my bed, throwing pillows and blankets to the floor.I flip the mattress and check under the bed frame, desperation growing with each passing second.My hands shake as I search every corner, every crevice where the shirt might be hiding."What are you looking for, Daisy?" Rebecca is watching my frantic search with wide eyes.She steps back as I nearly collide with her in my haste to check the closet."Rebecca, there was a shirt... a bla

DAISYHow can I possibly defeat someone like Melissa?She's beautiful, popular and apparently has enough power to make Damian bend to her will.What am I compared to that?I think of all the ways she could make my life even more miserable than it already is.She could spread rumors to turn more students away from me. She could maybe even influence my grades or standing at Lunar Crest.As the Alpha's girlfriend, her reach extends far beyond normal student politics.She has connections I can't even imagine, people who would do her bidding without question."Then I'll go another way," I say vaguely, trying to sound threatening despite having no actual plan.The words sound hollow even to my own ears and I can see from her expression that she knows it too.Melissa's laughter cuts through me like shattered glass."Oh, really? And what way is that?" She steps closer, invading my personal space with predatory confidence.Her perfume fills my nostrils until it almost makes me gag with its clo

DAISY"What?" I whisper in a barely audible voice. "Are you serious? She actually killed someone?"Frederick glances around nervously, as if worried about being overheard by the wrong people."That's the rumor going around. It was a girl named Sophia who was here last year. Apparently, Damian mentioned that she looked sexy in her training outfit and a week later, she was found dead in the woods. Official cause was a rogue wolf attack, but...""But what?" I press when he trails off, leaving the sentence hanging in the air like a threat."But some people say they saw Melissa following her into the forest that night. And Melissa was the one who 'found' the body the next morning." He makes air quotes around the word "found," and his implication sends ice through my veins.I remember Melissa's threat from moments ago. Her promise that I would "pay the price" for my perceived transgressions.A chill runs down my spine despite the warmth of the afternoon sun beating down on us.If she's capa
