Novel & Cerita Blood And Ties

“Yes.” “Why?” “Because you should not exist,” he said simply. Her jaw tightened—but she didn’t recoil. “Explain.” Caelen’s gaze sharpened, something like respect flickering there. “You are a convergence of forces that were never meant to align within one vessel. Bloodlines. Bonds. Power restrained by love instead of domination.” He took a step closer. The wards hummed faintly but did not resist him. “That has happened before,” Amelia said quietly. “Yes,” he agreed. “And it always ended in ruin.”

Her face was grim, every twitch of Serena’s body making her flinch as if their fates were bound together. Something wasn’t right. The more I looked, the more alike the two of them appeared. A horrible thought struck me. The footage rolled on. Serena now gripped a baseball bat, swinging down viciously across Lila’s back. Lila just stood there motionless like a wooden doll. My heart split open. I rushed forward and tore Lila’s shirt away. Her back bore a livid, bloody welt, the skin split and raw. I checked her arms and her ribs. There was layer after layer of injuries, old scars over fresh wounds.

“Mine carries lineage. If I ever betray you, let this act bind me to death.” Before she could protest, I brought the blade to her palm and made a shallow cut, just deep enough to draw a thin line of red. She gasped but didn’t pull away. Then, with deliberate care, I pressed our palms together. The moment our blood mingled, a jolt of heat surged between us. It wasn’t like the fire she had conjured earlier, this was older, deeper, almost sentient. It coiled around us like a living thing, threading through my veins and hers, sealing us in a bond that went beyond words.

Bound not only by vows or duty, but something that ran deeper. Something that was more permanent. We were bound by blood. And lies.

The hospital corridor was dim, the hum of machines echoing faintly from nearby rooms. Andres paced outside Ainara’s ward, his chest tight, his mind racing. Every second felt like an eternity until the door finally opened and the doctor stepped out, clipboard in hand. “Mr. Bernardino,” the doctor began, his tone calm but serious. “Your wife lost consciousness due to extreme stress. The last several days have taken a toll on her—her blood pressure was high and from the looks of it, she was overwhelmed.” He cleared his throat. “But there’s also another reason.”

Ironic. The thought dragged a dry, humorless laugh from my throat. It echoed in the sterile silence of my office, a place that smelled of lemon polish and an underlying decay. My vision was now swimming on the edge of a crimson haze, each blink more laborious than the last. My hands trembled uncontrollably, and I curled them into fists, nails digging into my palms—useless pain that did nothing to steady me. Then it hit me: Bloodmatch. The name pressed against my consciousness like a shadow that refused to lift, a curse and a promise all at once—dangerous, illicit, irresistibly seductive.

To get rid of my DNA for others to use against me. A blood-tie was a trick formed by old power that was supposed to be extinct. It was a trap that mixed two creatures' blood and bonded them together so they would become co-dependent. This blood-tie was like a leash wrapped around my neck. I was only able to walk a certain distance away before the leash would snap in place. The worst part was, I had no idea how to break a blood-tie. But I probably knew who formed it and I could bet money on who I was now bound to.

“Repeat these words simultaneously, “Blood of my blood, Life of my Death. I am bound to you until my last labored breath.” “Blood of my blood, life of my death. I am bound to you until my last labored breath,” both repeated together. “I tie this knot to keep your enemies at bay. I tie this knot to keep you safe during day. I tie this knot to bind truth unto you, I tie this knot so you agree when you do. I tie this knot to give you patience while you grow. I tie this knot so each other’s presence you’ll always know. And I tie this knot so the other knots won’t go. Here and henceforth you will be known as Prince Vlad and Princess Margaret. Now, with the blood exchange, this union cannot be und

He doesn’t do it often but when he does, it fills me with glee and I can almost just float away Spying the mafia rules on the side of the table where it always is, I pick it up and flip onto a random page. I’ve been reading bits and pieces of it from time to time. Blood binds is all.. Is written in bold red at the top of the page. “This means that we’re all related in some way, right?” I ask Niko thumbing the words. He drags his eyes from the email he is reading. “That is part of it” “What else is it?” I mumbled biting my lips as I read more. Underneath that is sworn in blood, I think that has something to do with the induction. Whenever the thought came to mind, I always imagined that to

“Say it clearly.” Sera didn’t hesitate. “This binding allows blood to recognize blood. That is all. It is not a mate bond. Not a claim. Not intimacy. It is a magical tie—so the portal can find what blood calls to blood.” Talia inhaled slowly, deliberately, as if she were forcing her wolf to accept the line between threat and necessity. Lucian stayed locked on Sera. “Why isn’t our family enough?”
