All Chapters of Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Ava’s POVThe air between us was too heavy, I couldn't breathe. Kane’s hand was still warm against my jaw, his eyes dark, locked on me like I was the only thing he saw, the only thing that mattered.My heart was pounding so loud I swore he could hear it.Then he closed the space between us.His lips pressed against mine, slow at first, almost hesitant. My breath hitched but before I could think of pulling away, his mouth deepened the kiss. It was rougher then, consuming. My fingers curled into the blanket as if that thin piece of fabric could anchor me while the world tilted.His hand slid down, brushing my shoulder, then my arm, until it caught my waist and pulled me flush against him. My body responded before my brain could catch up, arching into his touch, craving it. The bond pulsed, hot and desperate, making every nerve in me hum.“Kane,” I breathed into his mouth, but it came out more like a plea than a protest.He growled low in his chest, the sound vibrating against my lips as

Ava’s POVThe morning dragged on, I had no idea how long I sat staring at the wall, listening to the faint hum of the packhouse waking up outside. My body ached in that quiet way it always did now but it wasn’t the wound that kept me restless.It was Kane.Last night replayed over and over in my head. His hands on me, his lips burning against mine, the raw frustration in his voice when I pushed him away and then the look in his eyes…like I had ripped something out of him.I hated myself for it.Finally, I couldn’t stand the silence anymore, I needed air, I needed Mia. She always had a way of making me feel better.So I went out of my chamber, the cold air hit my skin making me shiver as I hurried down the corridor toward the kitchens. The smell of firewood and bread already baking floated faintly through the halls. It should’ve comforted me but instead it only made me walk faster.I rounded a corner quickly and collided with someone.Strong hands caught my arms before I stumbled, my b

Ava’s POVI wrapped Mia’s hand around mine as we walked away, her little steps quick to match mine. The whispers from behind us still echoed in my ears, the venom in their voices clinging to my skin like poison.By the time we reached the far side of the compound, my chest was so tight I could barely breathe.Mia tugged on my hand. “Ava, stop.”I froze, blinking hard.Her face tilted up at me, her eyes blazing even though her cheeks were streaked with tears. “Don’t listen to them.”I pressed my lips together, fighting the lump rising in my throat. “How can I not? They…they think I lied, that I made all of this up, about Orion, about Carla….about everything.”Mia shook her head furiously. “They’re wrong, they weren’t there. They didn’t see what happened but I did. I saw how you saved me, how you stood up against that Alpha. They don’t know you, not the way I do.”Her words cracked something inside me. I dropped to my knees in front of her, my hands clutching her small shoulders.“You d

Ava’s POVIt had been up to a week since the healers told me I was fully healed. No more bandages, no more bitter medicine and no more lying still on a bed while everyone else moved forward.“You can go back to what you used to do,” the oldest healer had said. I had nodded, but inside I was already planning. Training, sparring and fighting, that what I needed to back to doing.Because every time I closed my eyes, I still saw the Alpha with red eyes. I still saw Mia’s blood.I still felt Kane holding me when I almost died.I couldn’t be weak again, not ever.That morning, when Kane told me again that I should rest, I smiled and said, “I’m fine.” But I wasn’t asking for his permission, I was going to the training ground.---The sun was bright, the air cool. The warriors were already gathered when I walked in. Some looked at me with surprise, others with unreadable expressions.I caught the whispers almost immediately.“She shouldn’t be here.”“Still healing, scars all over her body.”

Kane’s POVThe war room smelled faintly of steel and smoke, the scent of warriors who had been training since dawn and of maps handled too many times. My brothers were already waiting when I entered, Zack leaning over the map table, jaw set tight and Lucas pacing like a caged wolf, energy practically crackling off him.Jarek and Ryn stood at the far end, their arms crossed, faces serious. They knew this wasn’t going to be an ordinary meeting.I closed the door behind me and walked straight to the head of the table.“It’s time,” I said, my voice steady but sharp enough to slice through the silence. “We’ve waited long enough, the war we talked about, preparing for…it starts now.”Lucas stopped pacing immediately, his eyes flashing with fire. “Finally.” He slammed his fist against the edge of the table, making the markers on the map jump. “I’ve been saying this since the day we brought Ava back. The rogues aren’t sitting idle, Kane. Every second we wait, they grow stronger.”“I know,” I
