All Chapters of Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Lucas’s POVI stood several paces away from Ava because that old witch said I shouldn't come close, so I don't distract her. My fists were clenched at my sides, my eyes locked on Ava. She had collapsed on the dirt, when the witch told her to sit, sweat was dripping down her face, her hands were shaking as sparks snapped between her fingers.Her breathing was ragged, shoulders trembling. I could hear her wolf inside, whining from the strain. Yet the witch stood over her, tall, calm and merciless.“Now get up and try again,” the witch commanded.Ava shook her head faintly, her chest heaving. “I can’t—”“You can.” The witch’s eyes narrowed. “Your body gives up before your power does. Again.”I felt my jaw tighten until my teeth hurt. Ava’s fingers jerked, sparks flaring wildly. She tried to steady them, but her whole body pitched forward. She caught herself with her palms on the dirt, gasping.That was enough.“Stop,” I growled, stepping forward. “She’s done. You’re pushing her too hard.

Kane’s POVThe war room was so quiet. The kind of quiet that pressed down on your ears until you almost begged for noise.Zack stood across from me, arms folded tight over his chest. His face was hard but I knew the tightness in his jaw meant he was holding back frustration. The scout’s report still lay on the table between us, its edges damp with sweat from the boy’s trembling hands.The scout had barely gotten his words out before bolting, leaving his report behind like it burned his hands. Three more warriors found dead at the southwest border, they also hit two traders, left them for dead, wolfsbane was found in their wounds. They had barely crawled back.Zack broke the silence first, his voice edged with frustration.“Three more attacks, same damn pattern, strike and vanish. No tracks, no scents left behind, nothing but blood and poison. They’re getting bold.”I leaned forward, bracing my hands against the table. The candlelight flickered across the map, catching on the marks we’

Lucas’s POVShe finally went back to sleep.Her breathing evened out against my chest, but it wasn’t peaceful. Every so often her body twitched, and her fingers tightened in my shirt like she was afraid I’d vanish if she let go.I didn’t move. My arm stayed around her, holding her steady, while my other hand gripped the dagger across my lap.I stared into the fire, jaw locked.My wolf prowled inside me, restless and snarling. She’s ours and he still reaches her, even in sleep, he whispers to her.I bared my teeth silently. I hated the truth in that.The red-eyed bastard wasn’t here but his shadow was still clinging to her, was still poisoning her.And I couldn’t fight shadows.That helplessness burned through me, eating me alive. I was supposed to be a protector, my entire life had been built on the idea that I could shield the ones I cared about and yet here she was, shaking in her sleep and there was nothing I could do about it.I looked down at her face, softened only by exhaustion

Zack’s POVThe training ground was alive with grunts, the sound of claws against dummies, the crack of bodies hitting dirt. Maren and Darius had the recruits lined, sweating and stumbling through drills. They were trying but trying wasn’t enough.I didn’t announce myself, I just stepped into the edge of the arena and let my presence sink into the air like a blade. Slowly, heads turned, spines straightened. Good, fear kept them sharp.“Maren, Darius,” I said.“Alpha,” they both bowed slightly.“I’ll see what you’ve built.”They didn’t argue, they knew what this meant.“Line up!” I barked.The recruits scrambled, some nearly tripping over their own feet. A crooked row of nervous eyes stared at me. Sweat slicked their faces, but under it I could smell their fear.I paced, slowly, letting my boots grind into the dirt. “Over a month you’ve been here, you’ve bled, you’ve been bruised. You think that makes you warriors?” I stopped dead, eyes sweeping the line. “No, It makes you bodies waitin

Lucas’s POVShe closed her eyes.Moon above, she actually closed her eyes.I could feel her breath on my lips, warm and quick, like she'd been running. Her chest was rising and falling way too fast and my heart was doing this thing where it felt like it might actually burst out of my ribcage.I was already leaning in. Close enough to see this tiny freckle by her jaw that I'd never noticed before, close enough to count her eyelashes if I wanted to be creepy about it. Somehow my hand had ended up in her hair, fingers twisted at the back of her neck, pulling her toward me without me even realizing I was doing it.She wanted this, I could tell from the way she was leaning into me, from how her lips had parted just slightly like she was already waiting.Every instinct I had was screaming at me, that I needed to stop being an idiot and just kiss her already.And for about half a second, I almost did it.But then I stopped.Because here's the thing, if I kissed her right now, if I let this w
