Then, I pulled the conversation back where it belonged. "Now, sever the bonds." Gloria stepped up beside me. "That's right. Do it now." Lesley still tried to stall. "This is suspicious. I'll get to the bottom of this. The Dixons have a reputation. If both Eddie and I sever our bonds at the same time, people will talk. We need to be more careful about this. Acting on impulse will damage our standing." My father took one step forward, his voice cold and sharp. "You talk about reputation. What about the Binders' reputation? My two daughters were grievously wronged here, and now you're telling them they can't even leave?

"I've heard of rejected bonds causing pain, but not like this. Not this... violent." "Elder Thorne thinks something is wrong with our bond. That it's been tampered with." Kade's head snaps toward me. "What?" "He came to see me yesterday. He's been researching, and he thinks someone might be using dark magic to manipulate the bond. To make it hurt more, to amplify negative emotions, to—" "That's insane." "Is it? Does any of this feel normal to you? The intensity of your hatred? The way the bond causes constant agony instead of comfort? The fact that you can barely stand to be in the same room as me even though every instinct should be pulling you toward me?"

His arms close around me, solid and real and safe, and the bond sings so loudly I can't hear anything else. It's rightness. Pure, undeniable rightness. Even as my mind spirals, even as the image of Emma's broken body flashes behind my eyelids, even as the guilt threatens to drown me, the bond is there. Anchoring me. Holding me together when I should be falling apart. Thorne carries me inside, his steps sure and steady. I bury my face in his chest, breathing in his scent, pine and smoke and something wild, and let the bond wrap around me like a blanket.

two fugitives bound by a ring and a dead man’s blessing. As we scrambled through the backyard, the cream lace—my wedding dress—snagged on a jagged thicket of thorns. I didn't stop. I pulled with everything I had, the sound of the fabric ripping echoing like a scream in the quiet of the old man's backyard. A long, jagged strip stayed behind, dancing on the thorns like a ghost. I didn't know why, but the sound felt like an omen. The 'legal shield' hadn't even lasted an hour before it was torn to shreds." As we hit the main road, the briefcase felt like a lead weight between us. We weren't just running for our lives anymore. We were running with the only evidence that could take the enemies dow

Our love had become the soil for theirs. When they finally collapsed together, spent and glowing, Ela whispered into the darkness, “Thank you.” We answered with a final gift. A single ember of starlight drifted down from the canopy above the bed, settling over their joined bodies. The bond deepened permanently strong enough now that distance or time could never fully sever it. Dawn brought new beginnings. Veylan Thorne knelt before the twin trees and begged forgiveness. He would return south a changed man, carrying the seeds of the bond to his own fractured empire. Many of his soldiers chose to stay and learn.

Not here. Not like this. Rowan’s grip never loosened And somewhere beyond the pain Beyond the fracture The bond fought back. ---

I sat very still. "That's called the mate bond. Thorne is a wolf and you are his fated mate. The one person whose biology is wired to match his on every level. When a wolf recognizes their mate‚ everything changes. Their instincts rewrite themselves. Every part of them locks onto that one person like a signal they can never turn off." "That doesn't make any sense." "The bond isn't a choice‚" he continued. "It's biological. It's cellular. Thorne didn't choose to be obsessed with you. The bond chose him. And he's been fighting it and failing ever since."

I sighed, and it saved me the trouble of having to introduce them. No matter, a few days in the past without modern conveniences, she’ll summon me, just from how miserable she will become. When I transported her to the past and slipped a summoning stone beneath the skin of her shoulder, her misery or any threat to her will promptly summon me unbeknownst to her, and I will come to her rescue bonding her to me forever. Although there was a chance the stone would only work if she called out for me, asking for my help, which may or may not mess up my plans.
