Blood Tie 소설 & 이야기

“So her drinking blood is what strengthens her?” “That’s part of it,” I say. “But there’s more. And this is where it gets complicated.” I pause, watching the way their attention sharpens. I know they’re not going to like this next part. “If the person she bites doesn’t die, then they’re tied to her. For life. And I don’t mean emotionally. I mean physically, mentally, spiritually. If she wakes up later and tells Maddox to act like a dog, his body won’t fight it. He will do it.”

"I know you probably don't feel it all yet, but that bond? It's real. And it's permanent. My son—whether you wanted this or not—you're his now, and he's yours." Conan tensed beside me. "You'll start noticing things soon—how you feel different when Levi's close, how you know what he's feeling without him saying a word. It's because your bodies are now wired together. His strength? It's yours too. His emotions? You'll feel them, even when you don't want to." He was quiet. Still. I didn't even dare to breathe.

“Once, maybe. But this one… binds life and death. When I saved you years ago, I sealed the wound you carried with my own blood. I didn’t know it would tether us.” “Tether us?” My stomach dropped. “You mean—” “Yes.” He stepped closer, eyes unreadable. “My life is tied to yours. Your pain becomes mine. Your death becomes mine.” I shook my head slowly, backing away. “That’s impossible. I didn’t ask for this.” “Neither did I.” His tone was flat, but beneath it, something trembled. “The Crimson Bond is ancient magic. When a Pureblood seer and a Darkborn Alpha cross paths in blood, fate takes its own price.”

Too much. “Nonsense,” Brian said softly, taking the tie from the box. He let the exquisite silk flow through his fingers. “It’s merely an accessory. It suits you. The color matches your eyes when you’re thinking hard.” He stepped closer, holding the tie up to Davidson’s chest, his knuckles brushing against the crisp cotton of Davidson’s shirt. “See? A perfect match.”

“We have survived everything thrown at us. We will survive this too. Together.” The stranger studied him, then Elara, as though weighing something far deeper than words. Finally, Lysara spoke, their tone quiet, deliberate. “The bond you share does not only tie your hearts. It threads through instinct. Desire. Fear. Secrets. It is alive… and like all living things, it can grow—or it can break.” A tremor coursed through the bond at those words, an almost physical ripple of tension. Elara’s chest tightened, but she lifted her chin, silver sparks dancing fiercely. “Then tell us what we must face. We won’t run from it.”

The moment she saw it was me that entered, she looked more frightened as she nodded to the door. I turned to look at the door but there's no one there. “Why are you tied up?” I asked her to remove the tape from her mouth. “Get out! Run! You shouldn't be here Ember… run!” She yells, coughing violently. “What are you talking about?” “Run… please run..” she begged. I gave up asking questions as I started to untie the rope used to tie her legs. However it was just then that the door closed with a loud bang.

“Then help me make a plan. I’m not going to sit here while my mate suffers. Tell me what to do.” Adolphus and Ulva exchanged a brief glance before Adolphus nodded. “We will. But first, you need to listen. The bond between you and Irwin—it’s powerful, stronger than anything we’ve seen. It’s not just a mate bond. It’s something more. You’re connected in ways that we don’t fully understand yet, and that connection could be the key to everything.” Dorian’s eyes widened at the mention of the bond. “What do you mean?”

He drew her into a friendly hug. "Dad," Sharon said, her eyes welled up with tears and her voice shaking. "You are home at last!" Isabella said Pulling her sister into a brief, enthusiastic hug, Isabella turned to her mom. "Who is the baby? Mom, wait. Is this...?" Mrs. Miller said, smiling "This is your nephew, Ethan". "Unbelievable," Isabella remarked, bending to tickle Ethan's chin and her eyes glittered. "Hi there, little man."

Alister chuckled at me, “It’s like a person, who’s your lifetime blood supply.” “What!!” There was something like that!! I never heard about it!! “A lifetime blood supply?? And from only one person!! There’s something like that!!” “Yeah, you can make someone your Blood mate if you like the taste of their blood but it rarely ever happens since it also means you’ll get stuck with them for life and they get stuck with you for life. My wife is mine since she’s a fae but most vampires refuse to get bound like that plus among vampire couples no one would tolerate a third wheel since a vampire can’t be a blood mate and there are some other complications.”
