When Does Leo Get Bionics Novels & Stories

He would quietly snuggle beside Damien on the sofa, sometimes falling asleep against his father's arm. That warmth, that perfect family unity he had once taken for granted and even found somewhat annoying when he was in a hurry. Our family of three would sit together chatting about everything and nothing, playing simple games, just being together. But when Damien reached out to touch the space beside him now, he only found cold emptiness. The sofa felt too big, the room too quiet, his life too hollow. Just then, Thomas appeared in the doorway with the information he'd requested. "Alpha, confirmed. Luna has officially returned to Silvermane Pack and was crowned as Silvermane Pack's new Alpha

That night, as we lay together, I traced absent patterns along his arm, my thoughts drifting. “Damon?” “Hmm?” “When are we going to… you know…” He turned his head slightly, watching me. “Know what?” I hesitated, suddenly unsure why I felt nervous asking. “The mate bond,” I said quietly. “You said you would make me your mate.” A brief pause so brief, that most wouldn’t notice it. But I did. “We will,” he said. “When?” “Soon,” he replied easily, brushing his fingers through my hair. “There’s no rush.”

She laughed softly, to push it off “You know exactly what I mean.” I forced a smile, ready to play along. “You’re dressed rather too early.” Her gaze roamed around the room, until it settled on her own gown, which was ivory, magically embroidered with lunar symbols that for some odd reasons, felt uncomfortably familiar. Luna symbols. “Oh, this?” she said lightly like it was one of her clothes. “Lucien had planned it, and now wanted me close tonight. For support of course.” My chest became heavy on hearing that from her. “Support?”

It is as if they don’t see her every week. “Luna, I finally got it. I was able to replicate your fern,” Xena’s geek friend reports excitedly. His excitement is like that of a child. There must be something special about that fern. “That’s great, Mike. I will come by next week to see. We can test it.” “He is seriously excited about a fern?” Roselyn asks in disbelief. She and others look really bored here. “It is no ordinary fern. We will be able to cure the type of leukemia that is killing thousands of our kind if we get it right,” Xena tells her and her jaw drops.

She stumbled but twisted free for a moment, lunging toward the Luna. The Luna waved dismissively. "Good riddance to bad nonsense!" Now alone, I stood before the Luna, my mind was a whirlwind of confusion. Why had Lysca fought so hard for me? Was it pity, or did she suspect my hybrid nature and see potential in it? Either way, her exit left me exposed, like a lamb in a wolf's den. But I couldn’t crumble, survival demanded I play this smart. The Luna approached, leaning in close to sniff my scent. "Do you think you can disrespect me like that and walk away unscathed?"

If I looked too closely at anything tonight, I might fracture somewhere no Alpha could afford to. I straightened, forcing control back into my bones. “ At the first crack of dawn, you and I are going to search for my Luna,” I said. “Tracking teams are already at the borders. We expand our search, call in favors, question every alliance, turn over every stone until Selene is found.” My voice softened then … only slightly,because this part was prayer. “The sooner I bring my woman home,” I murmured, “the sooner this lie ends and we can all have peace once more”

"I want this to work. For it to work it needs to cost something. If your father is already calling then it is costing something." He goes quiet for a moment, and when he speaks again his voice is a little different, less careful. "Leo's surgery is Wednesday." I stop walking. He stops too and turns to face me. "I know it is not in the contract," he says before I can get a word out. "I know it is not a scheduled appearance. I am not asking for anything. I just wanted you to know that I know."

It was matte white, a piece of Bio-Genesis bone-tech that used organic calcium to mask its circuitry. I held it up to the tablet’s camera. "Leo. Found it." There was a long silence. I heard the frantic, rhythmic clicking of keys as Leo dug into the Syndicate’s hardware libraries. "Elena," he finally said, his voice dropping an octave. "That’s not a microphone." "Then what is it?" "A bio-sensor," Leo replied. "It isn't listening to you. It’s tuned to a specific frequency—the silver pulse in your blood. It’s a proximity sensor. It only triggers when the DNA Key is active and within three feet of the mobile."

“I give.” Relief and excitement filled me. I was on the verge of crying tears of happiness. I’ve gone over this plan over and over in my head. I say I was confident in my plan but a part of me knew there was a high chance it wouldn’t work and I would end up having to tap out. Leo was on Briana in an instant. Shocked, I stepped back. I hadn’t realized he had arrived and I watched as she checked over her injuries. “You did well, Luna. She is incapable of fighting,” Leo said as he looked up at me. I wasn’t sure if the look he was giving me was one that matched his words. He looked as if he finally saw me as a threat. “Good job.”
