Bonded Novels & Stories

"The blood bond creates a mystical connection. A link between two individuals that can't be broken. Once bonded, you'll feel each other's emotions. Sense each other's locations. And, most importantly, you'll be unable to intentionally cause each other harm." "That's slavery," Zara says. "That's insurance." Konstantin faces me. "You want my help stopping the hybrids. I want assurance you won't stab me in the back. The bond provides that. For both of us." I look at Alexei. He's staring at the floor, jaw clenched. He hates this idea as much as I do. "What do you think?" I ask him. "You want to be bonded to someone you despise?"

"But if finalizing the bond ensures your safety I’m ready to do whatever it requires." "Even if it ties my strength to you?" The dread slipped out before I could hold it back. "Even if it turns me..." "It won't turn you into something you're n't already," my father cut in. "That's Covenant propaganda. Finishing the bond doesn't take away your power or hands it over completely to your partner. It boosts the strength of both of you. Makes you more powerful, as a team." "Then what makes everyone continue stating..."

"She's my mate. Fully bonded. Complete mate bond. She couldn't betray us if she wanted to. The bond won't allow it." "Bonds can be faked. Suppressants can mimic..." "Not this bond." Dr. Chen stepped forward. She'd been silent, observing. Now she pulled out her scanner. "I've been monitoring Anya's immunity levels since she arrived. Started at 98%. Dropped steadily as the bond formed. She's now at zero. Complete bond immunity failure. The mate bond is real. Permanent. Unbreakable." "So she's bonded. That doesn't mean she's loyal."

Glancing at each other, then at the Alpha, they both declared, “We do.” “With the power of the moon goddess and your Alpha, you're officially bonded as mates, Julian—kiss your mate!” Eugene announced. Everyone cheered and clapped as Julian and Simone started kissing, expressing their joy. They ended their kiss, and Simone confessed, "I love you, Julian." Smiling, Julian replied, "I love you too, baby."

“I do not. This is why our being here is such a gamble. Eros, the god of love and…. Sex. That is who we seek.” I don’t know why I blushed at the simple use of the word sex. But the heat in Finn’s gaze told me I was not alone in being affected. “He can teach us how to…. You know…. Without causing the apocalypse?” “I hope so. He is responsible for forging the tethers. He handpicked us for each other, so it is my hope he will tell us why, as well teach us how to control the power of our bond.” The whisper of a breeze caused the hair on the back of my neck to stand on end. I threw my arm out to stop Finn and held my finger up to my mouth to indicate silence.

I stayed silent. I bit my lower lip and nodded my head, sighing as well. I think it is time to talk about him. I have been wondering as well as to what happened. "You are right." My eyes glued to the people who were busy eating before laying my eyes on Claude again. "I believe this is a rare circumstance that a bond will interlink again. We both believe that once you reject your mate, there is no way that a bond will reconnect again." "Unless the moon goddess is the one who intervened. And yes, it is a rare circumstance."

With that, she stands up and starts pacing around. I remain seated mulling over everything she has just said. I am yet to fully understand the meaning of everything she had said. However, the one thing I know and have understood is that the bond she created is sacred. Be it the mate bond, familial bond, or pack bond, no one can take away the sacredness of these bonds. Now I hope she will answer my question without riddles.

I still feel the heat and want to mate but now I choose who to with. And if by any chance my old mate still feels my presence I hope he also feels the pleasure I do when I join with my lovers....I hope it hurts. Originally my hate for them was like a furnace and it created an iron resolve, never will I bow or bend to their rules again. I will control my nature, the parts of me that remind me of them and live as I wish. The Lycan and werewolf mating bond is like a drug, the most addictive drug possible, all-consuming that no amount of rehabilitation can truly free you from it.

Just then, the doors to the court swung open and a warrior stepped in, quickly lowering himself to one knee. “My Alpha,” he said urgently. “We have reports of a suspected magic user around the east border. The user was able to bring down the border gates but we are unable to identify him.” “Time to find out if you are truly worth keeping alive,” Cassian said, his gaze locking on mine. “We leave now.”

By the time I finished, my mother was shaking with rage. "That absolute bastard! My daughter gave him five years of her life, and he lets an outsider treat you like this?" "And that Clara girl—so young and already so manipulative. She has no shame!" She wiped her eyes and cupped my face with her hands. "My poor girl, why didn't you tell me sooner? You've been going through all of this alone..." I leaned into her, my voice muffled. "I didn't want to worry you guys. Besides, I left the papers. Once Ryan signs them, our mate bond will be severed for good. I don't need him anymore."
