Broken Bonds Audiobook Free Novels & Stories

Elara's POV "I know the bond is broken," Victor said, his voice raspy. "I felt it tear." He staggered into the sanctuary, looking even more worn down than he had three months ago. "Then what are you doing here?" I asked coldly. "I'm begging you to come back," he said, his voice thick with desperation. "Not because you're my fated mate, not because of the bond. Because I need you." "Oh, you need me now?" I laughed, but there was no humor in it. "Where was this feeling when you were using me? When you were humiliating me?"

Apparently, it’s not just my mate that does stupid things. I’m even more shocked when I hear that she wants to try to break her Guardian bond. I didn’t even know that was possible. I feel terrible that I didn’t know that any of this was going on. First Emerson and his bond with Quinn, now Rich and Emlyn. I feel so disconnected from the packs and what is going on with them. I get Buppig to help us find books that might give us a clue as to where to find anything on how to break the Guardian bond. We’ve been pouring over them for days when I hear the rumblings that the soldiers are back.

“Do you even understand what that means? The consequences—” “I don’t care.” Three words. Cold. Final. Merciless. Something inside me cracked. Not just my heart. Something deeper. Something that would never be whole again. The bond, fragile and newly formed, began to tear apart. I felt it—felt every thread snap, every connection burn as it was ripped away from my soul. A scream built in my throat, but I swallowed it down. I wouldn’t give them that. I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing me shatter completely.

We both screamed as our bond shattered, the connection that had been part of us just for a short while, but it feels like it has been over a hundred decades. The weeks that follow are worse. Alora tried to talk to me countless times. She cornered me after classes, sent notes, tried to mindlink despite our broken bond, send hidden texts through Agatha’s phone as usual. But each time, I have to force myself to ignore her, even as she breaks down crying in the public in school and even when she kneel to beg me during sports

I gasped and pressed my hand against the spot. Innocent people were dying. Mates who loved each other, who'd done nothing wrong except have the bad luck to be bonded after I shattered mine. Their bonds were snapping because of me. Because I'd run that morning in college. Because Malachi had rejected me in the forest. Because neither of us had been brave enough to do this right. "Can we fix it?" I asked. Silence again. "Nyx. Can we fix it?" *I don't know. Maybe. If you and Malachi complete the bond properly before he dies. If you repair what was broken. But even then—* She hesitated. *Even then, the damage might be too great. The ripples might continue spreading.*

Heath agreed, exhausted emotionally beyond coherent conversation. Rhett, however, seemed to have finally discovered words. “Sometimes I feel like we’re broken,” he admitted, his eyes on the windscreen. “The Triquetra. That what we were has been damaged, our bond doesn’t feel… right anymore. Do you think it’s possible for a bond to just fade away? I mean, we haven’t claimed each other in front of the goddess, under the full moon. We haven’t marked each other. Is it possible that the bond could just…” “Atrophy?” Heath suggested, because that was how it felt to him too.

I'll keep every promise I made. Then he closed the door. And the breakup I'd been about to say died in my throat. When I woke up the next morning, Joshua was already gone. For the first time, I opened the door to the room I'd never been allowed to enter. A sketchbook sat on the desk. I flipped it open. The first drawing was of a woman with her clothes half off. Gwen. The sketch wasn't even finished. I remembered begging Joshua to draw me once. He'd refused.

He said I chose him. Loki collapsed onto the floor, confusion filling his eyes. "No… This isn't how it's supposed to be… Melissa, you said you loved me…" I spared him only a single glance and replied coolly, "Yes, I did love you once. But that love was worn down completely the moment you broke our bond in public, allowed Alice to humiliate me, and shattered the crystal my grandmother left me." I gave Loki one last look. The man I had loved for decades, and suffered over for decades, now looked like a broken doll.

I simply watched the ceiling, counting the seconds until I was finally, blissfully, numb. “Don't you regret severing your bond with Edward?” Bonnie asked, “He is after all an Alpha, and he has never refused to mark you.” “Never marked me as well.” I said. The silence was deafening before she sighed, “Since he is an Alpha, he would not realise the bond between you two is already broken. Not until the next full Moon.” “I’ll keep my mouth shut by then. But, I hope you have figured out what you are going to do after that.” she said. “You are his fated mate. Edward would not like to lose the power he gets by bonding with his fated mate.”

Half-asleep, I heard a soft female voice whispering. "Don't be sad. I'm here." It sounded like Eliana's voice. It also sounded like my own voice. "Okay." I smiled in response. From now on, I would never be sad again.
