Toxic Bond: A Luna New Beginning Novels & Stories

Was it all a lie? "Tell me, you still love me, Hunter, this isn't right, what you did wasn't right, I'm your Luna, I'm already here, your father will never agree with your decision, and I—" "From the start, I never loved you, Olivia, if it wasn't for my father maybe I wouldn't be here, he wanted me to find my mate and get married, and there you were when I looked for her, but that doesn't mean that's what I wanted, I had to do it so he would hand over his company to me, and it turns out that the mate fated for me is a flawed Omega like you, you can't give birth to me and my pack, Olivia, you should be aware of your position, and now I don't think I need to explain anything to you, I have to

"One more season. I can find him. I can." "You have failed." Gareth stepped down from the dais, and each footfall landed in the silence like something being set down carefully. "The council has reached its decision." *Reached.* Past tense. I heard it and did not understand what I was hearing, not yet. "By the authority of this council, we strip you of your rank. You are Luna no more." The first tear went down my cheek before I knew it had come. "Further." Maris stepped forward, and there was something in her hands. "We sever your bond with this pack. You are exiled to the borderlands and forbidden to return."

I told her and she nodded in agreement. Together we made our way out of the facility. The sky was a breathtaking mixture of pink, violet and orange. Raelynn turned to glance at me, the cool evening breeze caressing her hair. "Are you happy?" I asked and she raised a brow as though she couldn't believe I'd just asked her such a question. "This is the happiest I've ever been. I once was the Luna you rejected and now?" "You're the Luna I can't live without," I said, pulling her into my arms.

"The Moon Goddess has chosen. This is Astra, my mate and your Luna." Not a single person clapped. Someone at the back booed. "She is a rogue," a woman yelled. Her beautiful face was twisted with hate. "A nobody!" "Silence, Selene," Alaric ordered. "The mate mark doesn't lie." He grabbed Astra's arm and lifted it, showing everyone the crescent moon and stars that marked her as his. The mark glowed blue under his touch. "I don't care what the mark says," Selene continued, stepping forward. Her long red hair swayed as she moved. "She doesn't belong here. She'll never be my Luna."

I placed my hands on his temples again, and welcomed the vision into mine. I saw a woman, Clay’s mother. She was bitten by a vampire. She did not say a word about it, because had she did so, our father would have hunted that vampire . And then, there was the full moon, two babies. I have seen two babies, one boy and one girl. But Clay’s mother was only carrying a single child. The full moon and two babies and then a powerful voice echoing: ‘Two children of the chosen wolves. Destined to be one. The female Luna will be the most powerful of all wolves, her powers will be unparalleled, her domains will be one. She must be protected or else, her powers will be lost and all wolves will pay the co

On the back of the scroll was a line of crooked, scribbled handwriting: "Elena, I'm sorry. This pair of rings is the last debt I owe you. I wish you happiness." I looked at that line of text, feeling surprisingly calm. No thrill of revenge, no sadness of parting. It was like finally putting down a heavy burden and being able to breathe freely. I picked up a pen and signed my name on that agreement. From now on, I was no longer the Luna who relied on others. I was just Elena. Free Elena.

I forced a smile. Fuck! This was fucking exhausted. I hate every minute of it.. He turned to Red kissing her hand." You are a breath of fresh air my Luna. Welcome to the fold." "Thank you Micah" Lauren replied. Smiling like the happiest of brides.. Everyone watching would believe that she was indeed a happy bride but I can see through it. See the tension rocking her body.. Everyone soon settled down and the reception began.. It was night time by the time the human celebration ended. We had to perform the ritual before we could call it a day.

The primary mate bond. But between Jason and me, the thread was different. It was silver, thin, flickering like a dying flame. It pulsed erratically, sometimes bright, sometimes nearly invisible. "There," Elder Rowan said. "The primary bond is gold. Strong. Stable. Built on love and choice." "And the silver one?" Brynn asked quietly. "The secondary bond. Incomplete. Unstable. It's trying to form but can't find the right shape. That's what's making Luna Ella sick."

“Everything is so… loud. Is this normal? I can feel everyone. It’s overwhelming.” “That’s the Luna bond,” I explained. “It’ll quiet down as you adjust. Right now, everything’s new and raw. Give it a few days and you’ll be able to tune most of it out, only noticing when someone’s in distress or when you consciously reach for it.” “A few days?” she repeated weakly. “Maybe a week,” I amended. “Every Luna is different. But you’ll adapt. You’re already adapting. I can feel it through our bond.”

“But it wasn’t frightening. It felt like… recognition.” Jenny tilted her head, studying me. “That’s because it was.” “Recognition of what?” “Of yourself.” I frowned. “You keep speaking in riddles.” Her tone softened. “You think the bond ties you only to Julius, but it’s older than that. The Luna bond runs through blood, not just love. There were Lunas before you, ones who carried the moon in their bones. When the Alpha line grew louder, they fell silent. But the silence doesn’t last forever.”
