Bond Of Life Novels & Stories

“It means you’re mine.” “Not helpful,” Ember said. “It means,” Rowan cut in, “there’s a bond—older than choices, older than names. It pulls two people into one life. It’s… a vow you can hear in your bones.” “Like soul mates,” Aurora said. Silence swallowed the lot for a beat. Zee prowled with a pleased rumble, like he knew a punchline nobody else did. I kept my voice even. “Not exactly.” Her eyes sharpened. “What does that mean?”

Because the bond is complete now. And completed bonds are forever.

So there it was, she had decided for them. “Wyatt understands he’s a leader, I never promised them anything,” she tried to defend herself. “Listen Bri,” Trent said, “From what I can sense and what the books claim, that kind of bond can only be made mutually, the bonds that tie you to each man are different. One is divinely chosen but you both set it in motion from the day you met, however, the tie to your soul’s claim on his only stuck because his soul accepted yours, in this life, whether he realized it or not and the other like the first has etchings of coming together over many lifetimes however it has always been chosen, and his soul accepted yours again in this lifetime. This is why the

"What if the bond never heals? What if we never feel each other? What if we're always like this… married, in love, but hollow?" He doesn't answer right away. His hand strokes my hair, slow and steady, like he's calming a frightened animal. "Then we're still married. Still in love. Still parents." He kisses the top of my head. "The bond isn't our love, Selena. It's just a reflection of it." "It's supposed to be more."

"We completed the bond. It's permanent now. Irreversible." "No." Dad shook his head violently. "No, this isn't happening. This is some kind of sick joke." "It's not a joke, Dad." "You're eighteen years old! You can't just bond yourself to someone for life!" "I didn't have a choice. The bond would have killed us both if we didn't complete it." "That's convenient," Dad spat. "Very convenient excuse." "It's the truth," Kyle said. "We tried to resist. We did a Trial by Distance. Ten days of separation to prove we could control the bond. We lasted ten days but we couldn't make it to fourteen. The bond was literally killing us."

"Ma'am…" "Mrs Lincoln," "Can I ask you a question?" I asked sadly. "Yes, what is it?" "Would he have looked at me if the bond wasn't involved?" "A blazer is only mated to the one person he or she could fall in love with. Without the bond, Ace would still love you but along the way, his heart would harden and that love would break. The bond acts as a way to keep that love forever," "Why?" "Because a stone-hearted dragonoid heir is a deadly one, one that can destroy life,"

The bond, I could feel it now, clear and undeniable. "But here you are," he continued, his thumb tracing circles on my palm. "Brave and fierce and so much stronger than anyone gives you credit for. And yes, Thelma. The bond is real. I feel it every time I look at you, every time you're near. It's the one thing in this entire mess that I didn't plan for and can't control." My breath caught. In my previous life, I'd thought I loved Neon. But this, this was different. This was a pull so strong it felt like gravity itself was drawing us together.

"You don’t get to use my gender to dismiss my experience. I know what a bond feels like—it tore me from Alec and gave me to Gary. I didn’t want it at first, but it was stronger than my hesitations." Her voice softened as she looked at her husband, and I almost rolled my eyes, sick of their constant display. They’d been married four years, yet acted like newlyweds. Nina looked at me again, pleading. "I know a part of you still hates what I did. But I didn’t stop loving you—only the love changed. That’s what the bond does. It makes your person the number one focus of your life. It makes you feel things you never imagined possible." I clenched my fists. "Would you still love Gary if his father

There isn’t a day that passes where I don’t wish I didn’t. Mr. Diaz sips from his glass, licking his lips after he swallows. “I’ve never known anyone who didn’t seal their fated bond, so I don’t know how that works or if you can ever get it back. But a chosen bond can still be strong.” Nessa’s mom nods her agreement. “With the foundation of the fated bond, I’m sure yours would be stronger than most.” “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” Nessa sighs, rubbing her thumb against the side of my hand and looking up at me hopefully. “Right?”

Logan departed with a look of hatred in his eyes. Before leaving, he spoke out. "Mitchell, wherever you go in the afterlife, I hope they show you no mercy, I hope your soul rots for all eternity," Mitchell breathed his last and died. After turning back, Logan walked over to Julian and Simone, knelt down, and spotted a piece of shirt which he then reached for.
