All Chapters of BOUND BY THE MOON: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

NovaI sat by the window staring into the vast night.The moonlight slipped in through the crack in my window, casting pale streaks across the hardwood floor of my bedroom.Earlier, I was curled in bed, the covers bunched around my waist, damp from the sweat of yet another nightmare.My chest rose and fell in uneven beats, heart thrashing like it wanted to escape the cage of my ribs and crawl out through my mouth. Which now that I fully think about it, sounds extremely disgusting but fuck that’s how I felt.Sleep never came easy anymore these days.Every time since that damned night, whenever I closed my eyes, I was dragged back into the darkness the place where she waited, and I was brought face to face with her.The witch.Her voice still lingered in my ears like smoke. Whispering. Threatening. Reminding me of all the things I’d done. All the things I could still do."You were born to serve chaos, Nova," she would hiss. "You are nothing without me. You need me."And the worst part?

KairosIt was one of these days that I had enough time to realize how much of a fool I was,Kind of pathetic really that I thought Carol was dead and even though she had spelt it out in caps lock that she would never love me, I still decided to risk it all for her like the fucking fool that I was.In the end, she was one of them.I felt so fucking stupid that day and my heart was broken. I was willing to risk it all, my friendship with Alpha King Ronan, my position as beta, my life if need be, all so that she would be ok, and that she will eventually see that I was he one for her, turns out that the joke was on me literally.Maybe I was fucking pathetic but I hadn’t slept much lately. Anytime I closed my eyes, I couldn’t seem to get rid of her beautiful face haunting my dreams, her body, goddess her soft skin and her beautiful curves.Fuck!"Fool," I muttered to myself, the words tasted bitter on my tongue.I clenched his fists, nails digging into my palms, trying to ground himself.

KairosAlpha Caleb was the last one of the Selton Rangers that I dropped over at one of the guestrooms.He was handsome, way too handsome to even exist, with that lazy grin that seemed both confident and dangerous. I could feel his eyes always lingering, even a little longer than necessary, and I had caught him staring at me while we were with the Alpha King.I tried to ignore it, focus on my duty as the Beta, but it was hard to ignore someone like him.“This is your room,” I said, stopping in front of a carved wooden door and pushing it open. “It is comfortable, you should be fine here.”Caleb stepped inside and glanced around with a casual air, but then he turned to me and leaned against the doorframe. That grin was still there. “Comfortable is good, but I think I already found something… or someone that can make it all better.”His eyes trailed over me from top to bottom, I felt so exposed like he was looking into my soul. I couldn’t believe that he could make such a bold statemen

What did I do to deserve all this?It started out as just nightmares, but now it was not just that anymore. The witch, she had gotten more vivid as the time went by and now I am beginning to think that I am genuinely haunted.The nightmares weren’t just in my sleep anymore, they were ruining my fucking life, and I hated it.And today was one of those nights where I had barely closed my eyes for two minutes when it started again.Everything was dark.Then I heard her malicious whispers, cold, dark, scary. Her cold tendrils wrapping around my throat like icy vines, choking me.I hadn’t even fallen asleep yet, but it felt like I could not reopen my eyes.I couldn’t breathe, I was choking and all of a sudden, I gasped, jolting upright from the bed. I stood up and rushed to the mirror to examine what happened to my neck. My hands clutched at my neck, and to my horror, faint red lines traced across my skin, pulsing as though freshly etched.I turned back so fast I might as well get a whipl

Kairos“I’m yours baby”Fuck those words did something to me and just like that I was gone… kiss my soul goodbye because it was completely, utterly captured by the sexy as fuck enigma that is Caleb.I look at his face and damn I want to suffocate him, but like in a good way, or did I want him to suffocate me? Like be all up in my space and surround me completely.“Do you really want to do this?”My heart swelled when I saw the absolute care and worry in his eyes. I bit my lips and his eyes followed the movement. I could see the slight ticking in his jaw. He wanted this badly but he was holding himself back, for me.I realized that I also wanted this as well, almost as bad as he did, maybe more but I wanted him inside me, claiming me marking me as his.My decision was so fucking obvious.I nodded my head and repeated the words with so much more certainty “I want you to fuck me”Caleb stripped me of my clothes, slowly looking deep into my eyes.It was much more than just a physical conn
