Toxic Bond: A Luna New Beginning Novels & Stories

He stood beside the bed, looking down at me. "This is your final decision. Once we do this, the bond between Alpha and Luna will begin to form. You will be bound to me forever," Liam said. Tears streamed down my temples. This was insane, and everything was happening too fast, but seeing him standing there, my body yearned even more to touch his. "I know. Lets do it!" Those words seemed to unleash a wild beast. The glint in his eyes turned fully gold, a sign the Alpha within him had completely taken over. He leaned down, his large body overshadowing mine, and as his lips touched my skin again, the pain from the poison transformed into intense pleasure.

I could see worry in those golden eyes. “Are you okay?” He asked me. “Yes.” I tried to smile it was paining. The old man joined our hands and as soon as our blood mixed, the pain vanished. “Mystic Shadow Pack, this day our blessed Alpha chose his Luna. We pray for the long and healthy life of the new couple and bless them to welcome the next heir of this glorious bloodline in next moon cycle.” The old man addressed the crowd. My cheeks flushed. “Today, I am introducing your Luna, Averine Shadwell. She is one of us now.” Winston addressed his pack in his alpha tone.

I nearly lost Athena because of it. “Yes, I did.” She takes my hand and helps me sit on the side of the bathtub. “Luna, your bond is still intact.” I chuckle at her, shaking my head. “No, he felt the pain of the bond breaking.” I tell her when she chuckles and I’m utterly confused. What the fuck is going on? “No, the pain he felt was not the bond breaking. It would have been the pain of his betrayal. You are the True Luna and he is your True Mate. The bond between you is unbreakable.” She has got to be joking?

He only looked at her, eyes gleaming like the edge of a blade. The spilled wine began to smoke, the colors twisting together, forming a dark mist that rose between them. It shimmered, alive , whispering words neither of them could quite understand. Roman reached out, his voice low. “Step back.” “What is it?” “The bond,” he said quietly. “It’s waking up.” The mist pulsed once, twice , then shot upward, disappearing into nothing. When the silence returned, Luna could feel it , something deep inside her shifting, stirring.

"Wow, what nice words coming from someone eager to dissolve the bond to be with her man. Let's give her a round of applause, please." Applause sounded from everyone, but to me, it was mocking. I looked at Faye and smirked, raising the glass in my hand. "Indeed, toast yourself too. If the bond between Alexander and me dissolves, you won't have to live as my shadow or the so-called mistress any longer. If Alexander marks you completely after the bond dissolution, you will be the new Luna of the Crescent Moon. A round of applause, please!" This time, there was no applause from her.

and now his face becomes serious. “Luna was drugged for years. If you force her to face strong emotions she could lose her memories for good. “ “What the hell are you talking about?” Nico asks, pissed of. “He is her mate! The mate bond will heal her!” “If she feels the bond you are right. It will! But she can’t!” The doctor said and the next second the phone started to ring again, and it was Mason. “What are you telling me?” Tristan asked the doctor. “Don’t kill me, Alpha” he said and took a step back. “But you need to keep that jerk around. He is the only familiar face for Luna. And if the situation is more complicated we might need to keep an eye on him.”

"Meaning I won't have a choice about it?" "You'll have a choice about starting the ceremony," Elena corrected gently. "But once the marking happens, once the bond begins to form, both of your bodies will be driven by supernatural instinct. You'll want it, crave it, need it with an intensity you can't really prepare for. That's the nature of the Luna bond—it overrides conscious thought in favor of primal connection." That should have terrified me. The idea of losing control, of being driven by instinct rather than rational thought, should have triggered every trauma response I'd developed during my marriage to Max.

"This is about balance. About restoring what was lost. And it all starts with her." Luna's stomach twisted as the Nemor Lunae raised her hand, a beam of darkness shooting toward her. Alec moved to block it, but the beam passed through him like smoke, striking Luna squarely in the chest. “Luna!” Alec shouted, catching her as she collapsed. Nemor Lunae’s laughter rang out as the shadows began to engulf her once more. “A bond is established. The next part is on her.” And then she stirred, ensuring the group to silence.

He tried to rise, but another kick sent him rolling onto his back. The inmates towered over him. This was it. If he didn’t wolf soon, he was dead. But the weakness— Suddenly, something shifted. Not in the field. Inside him. In the air. In the ground. A wave—warm, powerful, ancient—crashed through him like a tide of moonlight. It surged through his veins, his bones, his lungs. The Luna bond. The pack bond. Restored. Whole. Mona had howled. The Luna spirit had awakened.

Not even faintly. “This situation with the Luna bond,” he continued, “it is growing more complicated than the council is admitting. And we do not have time.” I clenched my jaw. “He cannot force a bond that doesn’t exist. The LUNA marks appear naturally. The ritual happens naturally. It’s spiritual. It’s not just… mating.” Matthew nodded. “Yes. You are correct. But you also know what will happen if the bond is not formed before the Lunar Eclipse.” Cold. Heavy. Real.
