Blood Bonds Novels & Stories

I looked at her legs, the blood was slowly gushing out increasing the pain that she had tried to conceal. “How do I help?” I asked mama taking the stance of a man. “Ikem, get water” she replied almost immediately. Ikem took the bucket and set off swiftly then she turned towards me “you will have to control the bleeding” I nodded my head, taking recognition of the task placed on me. “Find an onugbu leaf, cut as much as possible and find a cloth or wrapper.” I surveyed the forest as I found an onugbu tree, I cut off leaves as much as I could then rushed back to mama.

Her breath caught from the pain but she forced herself to continue. Her blood dripped into a small bowl in front of her, which she then dipped the knife into before using it to etch symbols and runes into the ground. There was a strange feeling flowing through her, pulsating from her core to the wound on her hand. She felt dizzy, her energy draining quickly. It was the blood magic, the power pulling directly from her instead of some other source, and she finally understood the full extent of the risk she was taking. To use a part of herself in the magic meant that if she wasn’t careful, it truly could drain her of her very life source.

a gentle voice pulled him from his trance-like state and he looked up to see Skye watching him, his hand glowing against the horse’s flank. “That’s definitely a connection to animals and every time you touch her, there are tiny red healing pulses from your hands. It’s like you’re pouring all your love and care in to your very touch. On their own, each pulse won’t do much but they’d add up over time. The infection is still there but I can already see it’s lessening, and she doesn’t seem in so much pain now.” Eician removed a hand from the horse to stare at it in amazement, a faint red glow emanating from it. He had no idea he could do something like that, he didn’t feel it or anything.

He’d seen his mother with bruises enough times. In his dressing room he pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and stopped short at his bed. Blood? Why was there blood on his sheets? Faro did a sweep of his room and he walked over to his desk and bent to pick up the papers from the floor. Faro frowned as he looked at the marriage contract that now held Sihana’s signature. The blood drained from his face and his hands started to shake as he put the contract down on the table. What the hell happened last night?

“My father used to wake me up at 3 AM to go over shell corporations in Montenegro. I was reconciling blood money at fourteen.” Dom’s brow furrows. “You never said...” “No one ever asked,” I say simply. Hours pass. We fall into a rhythm. Dom organizes, Hayden double-checks balances. I scan through discrepancies, clicking through screens so fast Hayden eventually just hands me the passwords and sits back to let me work. At 2:11 AM, I freeze. There it is. “Stop,” I say sharply. Both men look up. “What is it?” Dom asks. I turn the laptop toward them. “This routing number has been duplicated. Once here, the legitimate transaction to the Damascan supplier. But then again, under a dummy account. Sm

Kael felt it immediately—the shift in proximity, the subtle tightening of the bond, like a thread pulling taut between them. “There are records,” Lucien said. “Old ones. Before the academy became what it is now.” Kael turned slightly, watching him. “And?” Lucien’s gaze flicked toward him. “They mention something called a Blood Oath Bond.” The words settled heavily in the room. Kael’s expression didn’t change, but his chest tightened. “Explain.” Lucien’s voice lowered. “It’s not something that happens by chance. It’s ritual-based. Rare. Dangerous.”

Something was rising inside her, a warmth that spread from her chest to her limbs, pulsating with a rhythm she couldn’t name. Her eyes flicked to Kael, then Rowan, then Dante. They were tense, their bodies taut with unspoken frustration. Their wolves were restless, their possessiveness spilling into the air in subtle ways that made her skin crawl and tingle at the same time. Every muscle in their bodies was primed to protect her, dominate her, and claim her. Aria realized, in a shocking instant, that the bond wasn’t just a theory. It was real. It pulsed beneath the surface of their human forms, an invisible tether connecting her to three powerful wolves, and she could feel it.

“Okay, he should have already explained this to you. However, if you don’t mind hearing some of it from me, then I will continue." I nod, wanting to know where he was going with this and how it would be possible to talk to Julian without any sort of assistance. “Okay. You have Julian’s blood inside you, which completed what we call a blood bond. A blood bond connects two or more people together. So, close your eyes and relax.” I do as he says, closing my eyes and relaxing as much as I can. He then says, “Good. Now focus only on him and open your mind.”
