Because We Belong Together Novels & Stories

he responds without a care in the world, still carrying me, "I want them to know. They should." "Alright," I murmur, trying to ignore the feeling of rightness in my stomach. I do like everyone knowing we're going to fuck... not just that specifically, but that we're together. That we belong to each other. And we're following fate instead of fighting against it as we've been doing for years and years.

“And you will never be alone. Not while we’re here. Not while we live. The bond doesn’t just tie us to you. It ties us together. And together, we are unstoppable.” I swallowed hard, feeling the bond flare violently again, hot and consuming, tying me to them, to this new life, to the danger and the fire and the hunger.

The office lights flickered, the city outside glowing in golden reflections. Even in the quiet, even with lingering threats, the tension, the manipulations—we were ready. Strong. Together.

Everything we needed to say still ahead of us. But together. Always together now.

"Why are you protecting me?" "because you are still mine!"
