Novel & Cerita Toxic Bond: A Luna New Beginning

I don't want you to get hurt when they can't carry out thier nefarious plans" he said to me. I looked at Damon. The tips of his ears were turning red. It can't be that he's blushing right now? "Why do you care so much! It has nothing to do with you" I said. I didn't mean it. I was just teasing him. But he suddenly frowned. Like I had asked him something really important and he was thinking about the answer to it. "Well ....you are my mate ....and we've already sealed our mate bond by having sex. Of course I have to care about you. I don't want to have to find another Luna" he said and looked away from me.

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.

I said coldly, “you only came to find me because you were conned. Not because you truly understand what you did wrong. Is that it?” Damon froze, his face blank. “The black magic can be undone!” he argued desperately. “You are my Luna, and I am your Alpha! That’s a bond ordained by the Moon Goddess! We are bound for life!” Bound? What a joke. “Mommy!” Lily suddenly rushed out from behind Damon. She collapsed to her knees before the shimmering barrier, slamming her forehead against the ground again and again.

The bond hummed between us. The celebration began. Music played. Food was served. People danced. But I barely noticed. I stayed close to Adrian, our hands linked. Every time I tried to step away, the bond pulled me back. I needed to be near him. "Is this normal?" I asked Luna when she found us. "The mate bond? Yes. It's strongest at first. You'll be able to stand being apart eventually, but right now the magic wants you together." She grinned. "Congratulations. You actually did it. You chose for yourself."
