Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Lucas’s POVI should’ve left the training grounds the moment I saw her.That would’ve been the smart thing, the respectful thing but smart and respectful were never my strengths.So instead of walking away, I stayed in the shadows near the tree line, my arms crossed, my eyes locked on her.Ava.She was drenched in sweat, strands of hair plastered to her forehead, her chest heaving as she hammered her fists into the dummy again and again. Her movements weren’t perfect, she still dropped her elbow, still leaned too much into her right foot but damn if she didn’t move like she had fire in her veins.And maybe she did.Because when her fist connected, sparks lit across her skin. I saw it clearly this time, not a trick of the light, not imagination. Real sparks, power.She was different but unlike the others, I didn’t feel fear curl in my chest.I felt hunger.I leaned against the trunk, biting back the smirk tugging at my lips. Kane would lose his mind if he saw me standing here, watching

Ava’s POVThe halls outside the war room were quiet.I had been pacing near the double doors for what felt like hours, waiting for the heavy oak to swing open, waiting for Kane to walk out and tell me something, anything but the doors stayed shut, and every sound inside was muffled. The weight of not knowing pressed harder than any punishment I’d ever been given back in my old pack.They had shut me out. Again.I wrapped my arms around myself, staring at the carvings on the door, it was wolves standing proud, heads tilted to the moon. The carved wolves looked strong and certain. I didn’t feel like that.A faint shuffle of boots on stone reached me, pulling me back. Two warriors came around the corner, their voices were low. They didn’t see me standing in the shadows.“…don’t like it,” one whispered. “If the rumors are true, she’s the reason the rogues keep circling. The elders said it.”My chest tightened.The second guard hissed back, “Keep your voice down.”“She blew apart the train

Ava’s POVThe training ground was empty now.Only my ragged breathing and the dull thud of my heartbeat filled the air. My whole body burned, my muscles trembling, sweat dripping from my temple down to my collarbone. I leaned against the wooden post we had been using to spar, trying to steady my legs.Lucas’s words still clung to me, an echo I couldn’t erase.That’s my girl.Even now, hours or maybe just minutes, after he’d left, the phrase warmed me like fire licking under my skin. It shouldn’t have, I shouldn’t have let it but I couldn’t deny how it made my chest swell, how it made me feel seen.I looked down at my hands, my knuckles were red, my skin torn in places from striking over and over but instead of shame, all I felt was pride.These weren’t weak hands anymore.You’re finally fighting back, Ella whispered in my head, her voice smooth and strong. Not hiding, not cowering. Fighting.A shaky laugh slipped from my lips. I wanted to cry and smile at the same time. The servant gi

Kane’s POVI decided to start training Ava myself because if I don't, she will keep going to Lucas.When I got to the training grounds it was quiet but I could already feel them waiting. Zack leaned against the post near the edge of the arena, arms folded, calm as ever. Lucas stood on the opposite side, his smirk already itching for a reaction and in the center was Ava.She was stretching, pulling her arms behind her back, her hair tied up out of her face. She turned as I walked in, her eyes catching mine, bright and steady. The last time I trained here with her, she could barely lift a blade without her hands shaking. Now, just in the way she held herself, I knew she wasn’t the same.“Warm up’s done,” she said. Her voice didn’t waver.“Good.” I kept my tone flat.I turned to my brothers. “You’re both here, try not to get in my way.”Lucas chuckled, low. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”Zack said nothing, only nodded, his eyes fixed on Ava.I faced her again. “You’ve trained, I can see it.”

Kane’s POVI was in the war room, Zack was standing at my right, his arms crossed, his face set like stone. Lucas lounged in a chair at my left, twirling a dagger between his fingers as if the world wasn’t hanging by a thread.I leaned over the maps, tracing the line of our borders with one finger. Ava’s training echoed in my mind, her glow, the way warriors bowed after she dropped them one by one. She was no longer the fragile girl I’d first carried into this pack but that didn’t erase the truth: power without control could be just as dangerous as weakness.Before I could push that thought further, the door slammed open. A warrior stumbled in, chest heaving, dirt streaked across his face.“Alpha Kane!” His voice cracked. “It’s the East border. Rogues, they’ve struck one of the neighboring villages. Fire everywhere, people are fleeing. They’ll be at our gates within hours if we don’t move.”Zack’s eyes snapped to mine, cold and sharp. “How many?”The warrior swallowed. “Dozens, maybe
