All Chapters of The Moonlit Bond:Secrets And Shadows: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lori's POVIf anyone had told me that on going on this mission, we'd be attacked by a little girl, I'd have toldthem they were joking. Because at the moment, I still saw it as a joke.But with the viciousness of her attacks on Jason, I knew I had to change my mind and helphim.I turned to James. The big guy was stumped, which was valid. But I needed him to move anddo something.I nudged him as I stood straight."Grab her by the arms," I instructed.He should be strong enough to do so alone. The only reason we fell down was because weunderestimated her.James nodded in understanding and walked slowly and carefully towards the girl.She was growling loudly, her claws flying every-which-way and injuring Jason.Jason barely did anything to protect himself, simply moving backward, covering his face withhis arms. He was probably reluctant to hurt a child.I was too. But..."Hey, little girl!" I called, a stern look on my face.She snapped her head towards my direction, eyes glinting. H

Kael's POVTia's eyes locked onto Alyssa, her body emanating nervousness and worry. I watched her take adeep breath as their gazes almost met."I think if we keep staring at her like this, it'll be a problem," I whispered.because of your prying eyes?""What if she sees usI really didn't know much about the woman, but she was obviously integral to the pack and herseeing us together would be a big deal. A big deal that I didn't mind much, if I were to be honest.Tia nudged me under the table, her voice barely above a whisper.hear what she's saying on the phone.""Keep quiet, I'm trying toMy eyes flicked towards Alyssa, and then back to Tia, a calm expression on my face.not looking at us though.""She'sI very much wanted to finish my food now."Who's that?" she muttered.Out of curiosity, I followed her gaze. A hooded figure walked in, half of their face covered by anose mask.I frowned. Why would anyone dress like this? It's almost like they were intentionally obscuringthei

Tia's POVKael was fine by the time we got into the car. There was no reason to stop any where, we had togo home.“I really miss home," I mumbled.“I can't believe we've been gone for hours.”This city was more of a supernatural territory, but that didn't mean we knew each other orcared for each other that much. We all had our homes. It was nice and simply perfect.The only time we'd been really away was because of the competitions we almost always held.To build community and all. Not like I ever built community with my competitors. They were alldisrespectful. Except for a few.“Where do you think we'll live in the future?" Kael asked all of a sudden.I tilted my head, thinking.“I actually don't know," I laughed."Though I'll say that I am analpha… and you're a beta. You'll definitely be coming to my pack. I can't abandon myresponsibilities."Kael hummed.“You're not mad?" I asked curiously.Kael glanced at me.“I’m not the biggest fan of your pack, so I wouldn't say I'm en

Chapter 38: Tia's POV We gathered in the alpha's office, discussing all that'd happened. The news that one of the attackers of Angelina and Destin had been caught was actually exciting, meaning we could find more information. I didn't expect to hear that the person proceeded to rip their own heart out in a gruesome display. Was that even possible? Why would anyone do that? The room fell silent, each of us processing the gruesome revelation. "You can go," Ronald said quietly. When the man left, he took in a few slow deep breaths and then gestured for Kael to continue. He was such a strong man. Kael could take care of himself from what I knew, but everytime he was attacked, I always felt myself panicking. But Angelina was an omega. She's sweet and loving and really not built for fighting, yet she tried to protect herself and her child. Ronald probably blamed himself. Just as Kael was about to continue, Ronald raised a hand to stop him. He took out his phone and placed it

Tia's POVI was just about to let him do anything he wanted when we heard the snap.I froze.Our eyes met, questions swirling."Wait here," he said.I looked away when he got out of the water.I waited, silent as he ran towards the sound in his underwear.I sighed, enjoying the cool water and silence, except for the chirping of birds, of course.There was no need for me to go with Kael when he was a whole hunter. He'd catch whoever itwas. If it was a person.Away from his gaze, I didn't feel so self-conscious. I never thought much about my body, buttoday while undressing, I realized that he'd see me naked at some point.Wasn't I the one who was internally complaining about him not being interested? I had somany opportunities to give myself to him and I kept backing away because of shyness.And a little bit of embarrassment.Minutes later, he came back empty-handed."Sorry," he said with a smile."So... who was it?""I couldn't catch the person."I gave him a look of disbelief."F
