All Chapters of Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Kane's POV After Ava left, I tried focusing on the reports scattered beneath my hands.Then the door of the war room burst open again minutes later. My Beta stood there, sweat dampening his temple. He was breathing heavily and the urgency in his eyes made my stomach tighten.“Alpha,” he said, voice tight, “the rogues. They’ve hit the eastern border.”I straightened. “How close?”“Too close. The outer patrol is gone, they’re pushing straight toward Moonclaw.”My jaw locked. Rage pulsed hot and steady through me. We had prepared, strengthened our borders, doubled our guards, sent scouts day and night and still, the bastards came.I slammed my fists down on the table. The map jumped, candles flickering violently. “Sound the alarms, get every warrior armed and ready. Now.”“Yes, Alpha.”We moved fast down the corridor, Elias keeping pace beside me. The pounding of my boots echoed with the distant sound of horns blaring from the towers.“Do we summon the other packs now?” he asked as we r

Ava’s POVThe pack grounds shook with the sounds of battle. Even from the safety of the houses, I could hear the clash of claws and steel, the shouts of warriors, the inhuman howls of rogues. It pressed against my chest, demanding something from me, tugging at the mate bond with Kane.I couldn’t just sit here, not anymore.I slipped out the back, keeping my steps light. My heart pounding with every glance over my shoulder, afraid that one of the guards might catch me and drag me back inside but I couldn’t hide while others bled. I had power now, Ella’s strength and I needed to use it.The night was filled with smoke and the copper scent of blood. The further I went, the louder the battle grew, until the ground itself seemed to shake beneath my feet. I had almost reached the training field when a voice stopped me.“Ava.”I spun, tense. Out of the shadows stepped Orion. His hair was mussed, his clothes torn but his face wore a strange determination.“What are you doing out here?” I aske

Ava’s POVThe world blurred around me as they dragged me through the forest. My legs barely moved, I wasn’t walking so much as being hauled, my boots scraping dirt and roots. Every step made the wound in my back where the dagger had sunk into me hurt more.The wolfsbane burned like fire, curling through my veins, slowing everything, my strength, my wolf, even my heartbeat. Ella was a faint echo in my mind, snarling and clawing but trapped under the poison.Stay awake, she hissed, her voice weak. Don’t you dare give in.I wanted to scream at her that I couldn’t. My head was heavy, the night was spinning too fast. The only thing that kept me grounded was the sound of the rogues, snarls, rough laughter and boots pounding on the ground as they carried me deeper into the unknown.I tried to reach for Kane through the bond but I couldn't. The bond was there, barely but thin and strangled, like someone had tied a noose around it and pulled tight. All I felt was a hollow ache where his warmth

AvaThe dungeon was cold, damp, and suffocating. My body ached, the wolfsbane crawling like fire through my veins, making every breath heavy and slow. I clung to the bars for balance, my fingers numb against the iron but I refused to sink to the ground.Then I saw them.At first, only those glowing red eyes burned out of the shadows. My heart thudded painfully against my ribs. They weren’t just glowing, they were alive, searing into me and watching me.Step by step, he emerged. The Red-Eyed Alpha.He wasn’t in wolf form, he was in his human form, tall and broad, his presence filling the narrow corridor like smoke. His black hair fell just enough to shadow his sharp cheekbones, his jaw set in a cruel strength but it was his eyes, those molten red eyes, that held me frozen in place.Ella whimpered an the back of my mind. Even my wolf, stubborn and fierce, recoiled at him.When he spoke, his voice was smooth and dark.“So this is the girl who carries three bonds,” he said, almost to hims

Ava’s POVI don’t know how long I stayed on the floor, crying until my throat burned and my body shook but at some point, the sobs slowed and the tears dried, I was left with nothing but the pounding of my heart and the raw sting in my chest.I pressed the back of my hand across my wet face, forcing myself to breathe. .Enough.Crying wouldn’t save me, crying wouldn’t get me out of here.The Red-Eyed Alpha wanted me broken, he wanted me on my knees, begging, willing to take his hand when he offered it.But I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction.I dragged myself upright, clinging to the edge of the basin until my shaky legs steadied. My reflection in the water looked back at me, my pale face, tear-stained eyes and tangled hair. I barely recognized the girl staring back.“They won’t break me,” I whispered, my voice hoarse but steady. “I’ll never be his Luna. Never.”I stripped off my dirty clothes and slipped into the steaming bath that had been prepared earlier. The water was al
