Bonds Will Be Broken Novels & Stories

The lady nodded her head agreeing to his statement. The crowd gathered began to move away and the women left not before eyeing me. I could feel his presence by my side, looking at the floor the scattered glass broken to pieces. Not knowing what else to do, I bended down ready to clean the mess I created. I reached out for one piece careful for it not to pierce me.

Then I heard another footstep approaching. It warned them to stop speaking Ill about someone's misfortune and loses, and threatened them with the rule or karma, that what they do to others will always come back to them. I felt how tense the atmosphere was as the place became quiet. Then the girls stepped out. "You can come out now." Said the voice.

I turned my back against them and let a tear slip. I’d have to do better for them.

“Explain.” “Their bond isn’t normal,” Lira said. “This isn’t a typical mate link. It’s something deeper. If she goes too far from him, his system destabilizes. Literally. If you send her away, Alpha, he won’t survive.” Rowan’s hands curled into fists. “That’s impossible. We suppressed the bond.” “You suppressed memory,” Lira corrected softly. “It's almost impossible to suppress a true bond.” Silence wrapped around us like ice.

I am worried if the little that is there now snaps, that they might be gone forever. “How will I complete the bond if I do not have you? Don’t we both have to bite each other?” Yes, and I’m not sure.I think even if we marked him later that it would work. I think we need to try for his sake as well as Conri’s. Gabriel is putting on a good act, but inside they are still broken. They both still feel that the bond is broken. “Alright, jump my mate for the good of everyone. Got it. Anything else that you want me to do,” Emily joked.

ARI “let's bond. But I will have one wish that I will ask of you in the future. Se it like a business deal. You get what you want, and I will collect my wish whenever. You must do it, though.” He looks at me, probably trying to see if I am tricking him or if I am telling the truth. Whatever he sees makes him nod once. “deal.” “if you break it-“ “it’s a promise formed under the completion of the bond, sort of like a blood covenant. I can't break it. Have a little faith in me.”

“I can’t believe he pulled that card!” Caleb put a calming hand on her shoulder, but his face was serious. “He’s not wrong, technically. The bond isn’t fully dissolved until both parties formally sever it in front of witnesses. It’s an old, dusty law, but it’s still on the books. The Council of Elders loves tradition, Madison. Even ugly tradition. They’ll see a broken bond that was never formally accepted. They’ll see an Alpha whose claimed mate was taken by another Alpha, a king no less. It’s messy.” “But the reasons—” Madison argued.

Orlando and I had been together for ten years. I'd looked after his sick mom, sweating out a fever of my own, and where was he? Knocking back drinks with Rosalind, playing therapist to her broken heart. I swallowed my pride at work, getting chewed out by my boss, while he spent the night companying Rosalind because she had cramps. Then, when I got the news my mom had passed, I tried calling him, desperate for support. But nope—phone off. After a wild goose chase, turns out he was at Rosalind's graduation. That was it. I gave up. But Orlando wouldn't let go. Red-eyed, he begged me for just one more chance.

“You must complete the bond again. Multiple times until the connection is strong enough to hold without constant attention.” I pushed my plate away because suddenly the pancakes looked disgusting. “How many times?” “Until it takes. Each bonded trio is different.” He looked directly at me. “But the longer you wait the weaker the bond becomes. And if it breaks entirely you will have to start over from the beginning.” “Absolutely not,” I said. “We did what you asked. The bond is formed. I’m not doing this again just because the connection needs fine tuning.” “Then the kingdom continues to die and eventually the bond will sever completely.” The prophet stood. “But that is your choice to make.”
