Bound By Moonlight To My Mates Novels & Stories

We underestimated them, and we acted recklessly, which caused the mission to fail and me to end up in the Lion Den, a free meal for him. Fuck !!!!! What am I going to do? My family must be worried about me, and I don't have my phone with me. He's claiming that I'm his beloved and best friend, and I'm now his. I know about the mate thing. The mate is destined by the moon goddess for the day you are born; it's a gift, a blessing from the moon goddess. A mate is a soulmate forever. Mates share a mate bond; they feel it when they see each other for the first time, but I can't feel it because I'm human.

But deep down, I knew I couldn't give up on finding a way to mend our shattered bond. The bar resumed its lively atmosphere, as we finally headed outside. I heard Heart calling me from behind but I could not find myself to stop either, Maximo is pulling me with his tight grip on me. "Montenegro, get off Cza!" I look at my best friend and she is having a hard time running to follow us. "Maximo, Heart is behind." "That human has been brainwashing you!" "She's my best friend, don't talk to her like that." "I can kill her in a sea—"

My jaw slackened at what I saw. Justin Reynolds stood in front of me. But there was someone else here too. My best friend, Mateo. "She's mine," Matty said taking hold of my hand on the left. "No, she is mine!" Justin grabbed my other hand. I raised my eyes to the full moon shining bright in the sky. Two mates? What the hell was the moon goddess thinking?

“Am I burdening him too much?” “Girl, no. Not that ‘hard’ I mean. Alright, so here it is, Mate 101… Look, now that you understand that he is your mate and the mate bond and how the moon goddess forged it and destined you to each other, this is the question, do you know what mates do?” She asked and I felt my eyebrows creased, then my eyes caught the helpers moving my things out. “Uhm… of course, they love each other, they stay together for the rest of their lives, through thick and thin, through sickness and in health.” I said, reciting a passage I have read on one of the books I got from the pack’s library.

Green. He leaned closer. His eyes fixed on mine. “Mate.” We said in unison. Damnit! Two mates?! Was the moon goddess playing a trick on me? How can I have two mates?! He touched my face gingerly, then a growl rumbled the night. We both turned. Just a few feet away, stood Lightning, his eyes burning, and his glare deadly.

The night of her eighteenth birthday was supposed to be the happiest of Emily's life. “Growing up, my mother used to tell me that mates are the Moon Goddess’s greatest blessing,” I whispered, the words barely audible over the scrape of the broom against the cold stone floor. “She said they are your protector, your other half—the one who will love and cherish you until eternity.”

“It’s because of her that your pack will fall. She’s the reason for all of this. You should have dealt with her yourself.” My mother’s chin lifted, her voice steady, unwavering. “She is more than you’ll ever understand.” The Beta smirked, his eyes glinting with a twisted satisfaction. “Then let this be a lesson in mercy.” The next second was a blur. The Beta lunged, claws tearing through flesh, his men following with ruthless, bloodthirsty movements. My mother’s scream echoed, torn from her as she lost her balance completely, her life faded away right in front of me.

Azriel replied, his fingers instantly locking with mine, his grip anchoring me to the earth. The pack matron stepped forward, raising her hands to the sky as the pale light of the rising full moon began to crest the mountain peaks, bathing the clearing in a silver glow. "We stand here tonight to witness a bond that science tried to corrupt, but the stars chose to rewrite," the matron announced, her voice echoing clearly through the quiet forest. "Two souls, fractured by darkness, who carved their own path to the light. Azriel, do you accept this woman, born of blood and shadow, to be your mate, your partner, and your equal for all eternity?"

“Trust me. Just this once.” The word trust burned. I nodded anyway. He turned toward the corridor intersection and raised his voice. “She’s under my protection.” Silence. “You don’t have that right anymore.” The lights cut out. Complete darkness swallowed us. And in that darkness I felt it fully for the first time. Not a presence. A bond. Not to Jake. To blood. To moonlight. To something that had been waiting long before the Academy ever existed. I gasped as heat rushed through me, veins humming, skin buzzing like it was too tight. My vision flared silver, then red.

"I'll rejoin you shortly." He nodded and veered left with the main pack, leaving me alone in the darkening forest. The sounds of the hunt echoed around me—howls of triumph, screams of despair, the wet sounds of flesh tearing. I should have been reveling in it. Instead, I stood frozen, tracking Von's scent in the wind, feeling the pull of the mate bond that shouldn't exist humming beneath my skin from the castle where she was. She'd offered herself to me. “Anything,” she'd said. “Everything.”
