Bond Of Life 소설 & 이야기

So it was not a surprise to me that he was fitting in with us smoothly. I even introduced him to the kids. Legacy and little Lara were so obsessed with him. They had really taken a liking to Liam. They played soccer and did other fun activities in the backyard with him almost every single day. Things were looking good again. “I really don’t get this movie,” Bunny complained as she picked her teeth with a slim toothpick. She was sitting on the other couch next to the one where Zayn, and I were sitting. Hamish sat next to her with a diet coke in his hand.

“We both did.” ‌Their bond was no lo‌nger just a fortune, or a memory,‌ or a promise. It w‍as a living, br⁠eathing, daily creation—a masterpiece they would continu⁠e to pain‍t toget‍her for the rest of t‌heir l‍iv⁠es.

But I feel him. The tension between us coils tighter with every breath I take. It’s like something beneath the surface won’t stop pulling me toward him. The same force that made my heart trip in my chest when he first stepped out of that car. That can’t be the mate bond. I would know, wouldn’t I? I push the thought away and pick at my food. Halfway through the dinner, Ethan stands. He raises his glass and says, “To unity. May it strengthen the bond between our houses.”

We weren’t prejudiced when it came to a bonded half because your other half makes you better. The bond works the same for all of us. It starts with a smell, your other half’s smell is something only you can smell. Usually you complete the bond ceremony by mixing your blood. This bond is for life or rather until death separates you. You can complete the bond or you can choose not to complete the bond, it doesn’t really matter.

"Something happened." She waited. "My kind mates for life," he said. "One bond. One person. It's not chosen, it's recognized. When you find your mate the bond activates immediately. Completely. It's called the True Chosen Mate bond and it's…" He stopped. Started again. "It's the most sacred thing in our world. Unbreakable. Permanent." Sara was very still.

“Because if you walk into that chamber, the bond will complete.” Evelyn froze. “Complete?” she echoed. “Yes,” the woman said gently. “And once a tether bond completes, it can’t be undone. Your lives will be… intertwined. Permanently.” Evelyn’s heart pounded so hard she could hear it in her ears. “I don’t want a bond,” she said. “I want my life back.” “That’s not possible,” the woman replied softly. Anger flared. “No. You don’t get to decide that.”

Then she goes and plays the hero with Caleb and while I was happy, he was alive, she was now bound to him. Never in my life had I ever heard of a life bond. I don’t like not knowing what it is and knowing that if she dies, he dies, does that mean the same the other way around? With who we are and what we do, there is always a risk of us dying. What happens if Caleb bites off more than he can chew once again, do I lose her as well?

“A bond is a bond.” Kol looks away as if he cannot bear to meet my eyes. “Demons do not love gently,” he says after a moment, and the quiet truth in his tone slices through me. “When we claim, we hold too tightly. When we rage, we burn everything around us. When we bond…” He stops again, swallowing hard. “When we bond, we live and die with that person. There is nothing soft about it.” “Maybe I don’t want soft,” I whisper.

I can see the excitement in his eyes, “You will never be cold again because my fire will keep you warm.” I smile, “Anything else I should know?” He thinks for a moment, “I believe that’s all of it. The scroll for bonding is missing, so it’s the one text I haven’t reread. Bonding is instinctual, so you don’t need to worry about missing anything there.” “And you want to bond your life to mine? It doesn’t sound like you benefit from it.”

The more he spoke, the more convinced she became that he intended to place the master-captive bond on her. "And then," he said, his tone softening, "there’s the soul bond. A rare and sacred connection. It’s said that this bond can only exist between two people who are truly in love, mutually and deeply. It’s unbreakable. If one dies, the other follows. Eternity together, in life or death." He paused, studying her expression. "But that’s hardly relevant to us, wouldn’t you agree?" Sherryl’s heart pounded, her thoughts racing. Dallion’s words hung in the air like a storm cloud. She felt trapped, cornered, and utterly at his mercy.
