Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

For days we’d hunted shadows and every trail had led to nothing. Every step we took forward felt like we were riding into a grave.Then the bond suddenly hit me.A moment ago, I was riding through fog and rot, half-dead from exhaustion, my mind drowning in silence. The suddenly, she was there.Ava.The force of it almost tore me from my saddle. My chest seized, my vision blurred and Rafe howled so loud inside me I thought the mountains themselves would split.She’s here, she’s fighting. “Ava,” I rasped, my voice breaking.Zack turned. “You felt that too.” His voice was ragged.Lucas surged closer, his whole body trembling, eyes wide with something between fury and relief. “Don’t you dare lie, Kane. That was her.”“It was her,” I growled, my fists clenching so tight the reins bit into my palms. “She’s fighting, I felt her.”Zack let out a vicious curse, his jaw clenching so hard the tendons stood out in his neck. “Then we don’t waste another second.”Lucas’s laugh was loud and ugly, a

Ava’s POV I stood in front of Mia, my arms stretched wide like I could shield her from everything, the Alpha’s wrath, his guards, this cursed fortress. My chest rose and fell fast but my legs refused to move. I would not step aside. Not for him, not ever. Mia whimpered behind me, her voice broken, trembling. “Ava… don’t—” “Stay behind me,” I whispered, my voice cracking under the weight of fear. The Alpha chuckled. A low, cruel sound that slid under my skin like a blade. His red eyes burned brighter in the dim light of the dungeon. He looked at me not like I was defying him but like I was amusing him. “You think you can protect her?” he taunte. “You couldn’t even protect yourself.” His words sliced through me. My wolf whimpered inside, beaten down under the pressure of his aura but even in her weak state, Ella whispered against my mind: Stand, Ava. Stand. I straightened my back, though my knees trembled. “I won’t let you touch her again.” The Alpha’s smile faltered. For a mome

Kane’s POV “Kane” Ava screamed I saw the alpha's claws coming straight for my chest, deadly, precise and impossible to dodge. I braced myself then my world shattered. A blur moved in front of me. “Ava, NO!” Her body slammed into mine, shielding me, before I could push her back. The claws came down with a sickening, wet sound. Blood sprayed. Her scream ripped the air, loud and piercing. It cut straight through me, into the marrow of my bones. Her small frame jolted violently, her body shaking as the claws tore through her chest. I froze, my brain refusing to accept what had just happened. Then she collapsed into me. Her blood, it was hot and endless, it poured over my hands, soaking my chest. My knees went weak as I caught her, lowering us both to the ground. My hands shook as i pressed desperately against the wound but her blood slipped through my fingers in thick streams. “Ava!” My roar shook the dungeon, a sound so raw and broken, it didn’t sound human. Her lips parted

Kane’s POVHer blood was everywhere.It was all over me, it was soaking through my shirt until it glued to my skin. Every heartbeat of hers spilled more warmth over me and every drop of her blood felt like a piece of her life was slipping away.I held her tighter, one of my arms was at her back, while the other was pressing against the wound but the blood wouldn’t stop.“Stay with me,” I whispered, over and over, as if the words themselves could hold her together. “Stay, Ava. Don’t you dare let go.”Her head rested limply against my chest, her breaths were shallow. Through the bond, I felt her slipping away, that golden thread pulling thin, ready to snap.It tore me apart.“Move!” Zack’s voice cut like steel. His wolf lunged ahead of me, streaked with blood as he ripped into two rogues at once. Their screams echoed off the walls, cut short as his jaws crushed their throats.Lucas was beside me, his claws was a blur. He tore through anything that came near, his growl low and constant.

Ava’s POVDarkness.That’s all there was.It was this cold, never-ending, suffocating darkness that felt like it was pressing against me, creeping into every part of who I am. It wasn’t quite silent, it was heavier than that. It felt like a crushing emptiness, like the world had wiped me out, leaving just a shadow behind.With no sky, no ground and no breath. Just this overwhelming weight of emptiness.My body didn’t feel like it belonged to me anymore. I couldn’t move, couldn’t scream, couldn’t even remember how it felt to be alive. Maybe I wasn’t alive, maybe this was just what death was like.For a split second, I almost gave in to it.But then—“Ava.”A voice, it was rough and broken, filled with desperation that cracked through the emptiness.It was Kane.“Fight, Ava. Please.”The sound of his voice fought through the void, pulling me back from the brink. His tone was like fire in the cold, strong and fierce, yet shaky in a way I’d never heard before.I felt something inside me,
