All Chapters of BOUND BY THE MOON: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

SeleneRonan and I had not said a single word to each other since that unfortunate encounter.I mean it was largely my fault. I mean, I had been avoiding him like a plague since then. If I knew that he was coming one way then I was out the other way like my heels are on fire. Now that some time had passed and I was no longer as angry I was on the day of the incident which shall not ever be mentioned again, I was really, really embarrassed, for quite a number of reasons.Did I regret all of the things I said? No, definitely not. He had hurt me and my feelings were mine and they were valid. And if anyone though otherwise well, that was their business. But I did know that the way I went about some things was no doubt rash and I could have done some things differently. But hey, I was mad, and I said things. What’s one is done and there was nothing else that could happen again anyways.I had been passing the time by spending a lot of time with Mindy, telling myself I was making up for not

Selene“You take care of everything in my absence Kai. I’m trusting you to be in charge here” I faintly heard Ronan giving his last instructions to the Beta but I was busy hugging Mindy.“I’ll be back before you know it my love” I whispered into her hair and she hugged me back just as tightly. Before I knew it, Nova took her from my arms.“I will take care of Mindy now stop stalling” she said and I glared at her “I am not stalling” I replied defensively and she rolled her eyes “Yes and the sky is fucking yellow”“Do not curse around Mindy” I chided and she gave me a sheepish smile “I’m sorry but stop trying to change the subject” she replied and I groaned.Nova was right though, I was absolutely terrified of talking to him after avoiding him for so long and now we were going tube side by side together unavoidably for many, many days. Lucky me I guess.“Are you ready to go now Selene?” he asked and I stood up straight. I swear I could feel the hair on my body stand at attention, and

SeleneWe were in the back of a car again on our way to the Council of Supernaturals. I was extremely tired but it apparently didn’t matter to the council that we had just ended an eighteen hour flight.“Let’s just get it out of the way” Ronan said.We hadn’t talked about me waking up on his lap earlier and I hoped that it never came up. Just thinking about it now and I was already bright red with embarrassment. I had woken up to being comfortably asleep in his lap, with his hands running lazily through my hair.When he had even changed seats, I had no idea. It was awkward when I had finally been conscious of my surrounding and it still was till now but we had other things to worry about at the moment.The car pulled up in front of a large driveway. Ronan parked his car and turned to me.“I promise you sweetheart all will be alright” he said with that fierce determination in his eyes and I believed him.Stone halls loomed ahead, nestled between the silver-streaked cliffs like a forgot

NovaThe forest was too still.No wind, no rustling of leaves, not even the usual nocturnal chirps. I had been in here more times than I can remember practicing my spells, trying to perfect them. Because mum said it that it was only by that means that we could become a perfect family again. And I believed her, I had to believe her otherwise, what was the point of it all?Moonlight sifted gently through the bare-branched canopy above, dappling silver shadows on the moss-covered ground beneath my boots“Focus, Nova. Perfection is the difference between salvation and destruction.” I muttered to myself. I had to be perfect, no excuses.“Leva me, aetheris potestas. Sursum me tollo, supra terram."My voice cracked near the end, but the magic responded, I think so? I could feel it deep in my bones.I held my breath.But nothing else happened. The spell was for levitation, but my feet was still on the ground."Come on..." I whispered, clutching the book to my chest. "Please. Please work."I s

Ronan“This isn’t supposed to be possible”“You have said that for a few days now Ronan, get used to it” Vane said.I was still getting used to hearing Vane’s gruff voice in my head. I couldn’t help but scoff. My wolf had a name and he was talking to me, like an actual conversation, in my head. This should not be possible. There was an annoyed growl in my head.“Ok I’m sorry. I’m just, stunned” he said.“You need to set up a run with Nadine and me” Vane said sounding excited “I want to meet her in person”“Who is Nadine?” I asked confused“Selene’s wolf, my mate” he said.“Selene can also hear her wolf too?”I felt frustrated. Why hadn’t she told me? This was such a big situation and she had kept it a secret for goddess knows how long.“Have you told Selene that you can hear me yet?” Vane asked.Fair point.“Set up that run Ronan, you don’t want me getting cranky now that you can actually hear me. Trust me that feeling you had before, it was all nothing” he said smugly.The audacity
