Tethered (The Binding Chronicles, #1)

by Elayna R. Gallea

To Team Edward: This one’s for you.

I knew who I was. Luna Brielle Wisethorn, fourth daughter of the Human Lord, lover of books and all things academic. And now, a vampire’s bride.

“Because, Princess, we’re not just Bound.” I took a step back, shaking my head as I worked to wrap my head around this. “We are Tethered.”

“I need you,” he whispered, his voice so rough it was barely more than a breath. “All of you. You’re driving me mad. The way you taste. Your smell. Sitting across from you in the library for the past twenty-one days, sleeping in the same room as you, and refraining from touching you has been the most agonizing experience of my entire existence.”

We had to leave now before I did something really stupid like throw my wife on the bed and spend the rest of the night engaging in my own form of research.

“Make no mistake, darling, you are mine. My wife. My princess. Your enemies are my enemies. Your problems are now my problems. I will destroy anyone who threatens you. I will tear them limb from limb, painting the snow with the blood that runs through their veins before presenting you with the stakes used to pierce their blackened hearts.”
