Bloodbound: The Alliance Mga Nobela at Kwento

Silence returned once more. Heavier than before. The alliance had worked. But it wouldn’t last. Alina leaned against the wall, catching her breath. “Please tell me that’s all of them.” Arun checked the tablet. “No.” She groaned. “Of course not.” The Ghost lowered his rifle slowly. Then turned toward Arun. “Well.” Arun met his gaze. “Yes.” The air shifted again. Different now. Sharper. More dangerous. The temporary alliance had reached its end. Lena stepped back slightly.

"The mother as well." Alec's voice was like iron. "And me." Cara nodded. "You are always welcome, Alpha Stonehaven." Alec looked down at Ivy. Her face was very still, her eyes moving slowly around the table. "They're scared," she said quietly. "All of them. Just like us." Cara rose, and the others followed—Cedric, Ronan, Stephan, Soren, one by one pushing back their chairs until all six stood. "Then we create a new bond," Cara declared. "She belongs to the Alliance. Equally. Her safety is our shared burden. Her blood is our shared oath."

She hastily showed him a dusty manuscript and said, "I found something." He examined the yellowed pages with interest. "The demon took Lisa's life power away. Even though we got her back, he still has a piece of her soul." Ruben scowled and began reading. Andrea drew attention to a particular paragraph. "You'll have to conduct some blood bonding," she explains. Ruben kept reading. *************

The moon, together with the stars, was shining brightly beyond the horizon. It gave a light reflecting down to a small diamond hovering in the air. A blue line-like beam burst out of it, connecting toward the surrounding boulders of rocks. Each rock has a human hostage and one vampire. Their waists were tied by a silver chain, steaming off some smoke as it touched their bare skin.

I set my pen down and leaned back into my chair. “Alpha.” He said, his voice filled with urgency. “We’ve uncovered something about the attack.” I leaned forward, my interest piqued. “What have you found?” I asked, my voice steady. With a deep breath Andrew spoke, “They used wolfsbane.” “What?” “Unfortunately, there was no way to save them. They would have died no matter what our medical team would have tried.” He said with sadness in his tone. His gaze fell to the ground.

And the twins were its target. The forest answered with a guttural roar that didn’t belong to any wolf I had ever heard. The trees shook. Shadows twisted unnaturally, stretching across the ground like living claws. The glowing eyes advanced in a slow, deliberate circle, not rushing—hunting. Damien’s aura flared, violent and blinding. “These aren’t Council assassins,” he growled. “They’re Bloodbound.” My stomach dropped. Bloodbound wolves were ancient. Cursed. Beasts that fed on Luna power.

“The disturbance registered from the same quadrant where she was last held.” The air grew heavy — a palpable tension pressing against every word. Veyra turned from the railing, her cloak whispering against the floor. “You’re suggesting that a human just breached the boundary between mortal and immortal realms?” Myr bowed his head slightly. “Not merely human, Councilor. She carries the binding mark. That makes her Soulbound.” A low murmur rippled through the Council — disbelief mingled with a fear none of them wanted to name. “The Soulbound line was erased ages ago,” Soreth said, his tone dangerously quiet. “The last bearer was purged at the dawn of the Reaper Wars.”

She had thought that Sebastian was her ally, but now she wasn't sure what to think. But there was no time to dwell on her feelings. The feral vampire was still attacking, and Helena needed to focus on the fight at hand. With a deep breath, she steadied herself and prepared to face the feral vampire alongside Sebastian, her newfound ally turned foe. The battle was fierce, with Helena and Sebastian working together to take down the feral vampire. They fought side by side, with each knowing the other's moves and working in tandem to outmaneuver their opponent.

More… deliberate. Alpha Darius sat at the head of the long stone table, his expression unreadable. Around him, his council watched us with quiet, assessing eyes. Not hostile but not friendly either. They were calculating. Which I didn’t like. “Let us proceed,” Darius said, his voice echoing slightly against the high walls. “The Ironclaw Pack acknowledges Bloodmoon’s strength. The alliance stands… under one condition.” “Name it,” Ryker said, grimly. “A blood-bound oath.” he answered, leaning forward slightly.

In the center of the room stood Kieran, but he looked different—his boyish smile was gone, replaced by an expression of cold authority. “Kieran?” she called out, her voice finally returning. He didn’t respond. Instead, he raised his hand, and the statues around her came to life, their stone bodies cracking and shifting as they turned toward her. Their eyes burned with the same strange powerful energy as the sky she’d seen before. “Choose wisely,” Kieran said, his voice echoing unnaturally. “For not all alliances are what they seem.” Gaia felt the ground beneath her tremble, cracks forming in the silver pool that had reappeared at her feet. From the depths, hands reached out—clawing, grasping
