She will never understand the responsibilities and duties of a Luna to her husband and the pack. I ran after my mom before she could escape. "Mom was this what you meant when you said you would fix things? by ruining my life?" She took a deep breath , turned to me and smiled with so much affection. A smile that is good enough to wipe her sleate clean but i wasnt a fool. i will not fall for this her tricks. "I am not ruining your life, I am making it better. You will have a Luna and I will have a daughter-in-law." She said with a lot of excitement in her voice.

I stayed against the wall. Listened to his footsteps until they turned the corner at the far end and disappeared. Then I stood there for a while longer. My right hand was warm again. I pressed it flat against the wall and felt the cold stone against my palm and thought about the word the elder had used. Binding. The ritual was called a binding. Something that held. Something you couldn’t undo by deciding you wanted to.

“Anchors, boundaries, all of that. But we keep… sliding around the big things. The parts that actually hurt.” Ronan’s jaw flexed. “Then say it. The big thing.” You. Me. Her. The way everything keeps tangling when it shouldn’t. I looked at him, really looked, and let the bond open a little. Not wide—just enough that I could feel the strain behind his calm. The guilt. The stubborn affection that refused to burn out no matter how hard he tried to bury it under duty.

And the future for me and Allyssa, as destined mates, hangs on who would wield or who shall yield. Banyan and Gayok, however, showed me something more than domination and superiority between our mates. There was that thing called love, a mix of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs connected with powerful feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for one another. They believe, and made me want to believe as well, that there was more of Allyssa and me than what we had now. I took one last glance at my companions. Their reverence was shown on their faces, if that was even possible. I felt secured with their affection. I bow my head down to them. It was something I hated too much be

Without a single word, he simply brought his fingers right over my forehead, gingerly gliding them over my skin and after only a moment of silence, he finally explained, “It’s the bond. It is affecting you... His grace wants to be close to its rightful owner. And since you’re denying it... Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly happy about it.” “WHAT?” Oh great. Just fucking wonderful.

Her breath caught slightly. “That’s not helping,” she said quickly. “I know,” he replied. But he didn’t look away. And that— Was the problem. The silence between them grew heavier. Different from before. Less anger. More awareness. Ammie stepped back slightly. “We need boundaries,” she said. Adrian tilted his head slightly. “Or what?” She paused.
