Broken Bonds Book Novels & Stories

“Maybe I’ll die.” “Don’t say that.” Elinor’s voice was sharp. “Don’t you dare say that.” She helped me into bed, pulling the covers up. My whole body ached. Not just my chest where the bond had been, but everywhere. My bones felt like they were breaking. My skin too sensitive to touch. My head pounding. “This is normal,” Elinor said, wringing out a cloth in cool water. “After a bond breaks, the body goes through a kind of… mourning. It’ll get worse before it gets better.”

Healing was not linear. But tonight, something fundamental had shifted. Her walls had not shattered. They had opened. And as she turned off the lights and prepared for sleep, a quiet certainty settled inside her: This was not a reckless leap. It was a careful unfolding. And for the first time since everything had broken, she was no longer bracing for impact. She was leaning into possibility.

At the time, he seemed to feel nothing special toward me. That was how my one-sided crush began. Fortunately, he would often help his mother deliver supplies to me. We ended up keeping in touch that way. My diary from those years contained nothing but daily training notes and everything about him. Later, his childhood friend and one true love, Lisa, returned. They broke up and reunited over and over. Their romance became a long-lasting gossip within the Blood Moon Pack. My brief one-sided love story ended without ever truly beginning. I wished him happiness and gradually let go.

All her belongings were gone as if she had never existed. "No…" Out of nowhere, Kaden felt a pain shoot up from the depths of his soul. His wolf roared and thrashed in an attempt to break free from his body. It was clear evidence that the mate bond had been broken by force. "Argh!" Kaden howled in devastation, the sound waves shattering the bedroom windows. It dawned on him that Seraphina was not joking. She had left him, never to be found again. Falling on all fours, Kaden struggled to crawl to the dressing table. There, a black obsidian jewelry box remained. It was the gift Seraphina left for him a week ago.

Comfort in solitude as my life was nothing but a tragic saga of its own kind. Running under the moon was my daily therapy after a day’s hard labour, school and mental torture from everyone at the pack, at the school and the house which I could never call my home. “Averine, come back. Your father is looking for you everywhere. It is the time.” I heard my best friend, Sophie’s voice in my head and it made my wolf Kira whin. We didn’t want to go back but we couldn’t defy my father, Alpha Gavin Cullen’s order or the consequences won’t be favourable for us.

“Twenty-nine. Lives in the Jia-Hua territory. You were with her at the hospital last night.” My voice stayed level, almost calm—which somehow made it worse. “I know everything.” I looked at him then, really looked at him. “What you broke wasn’t rules or vows on paper,” I said. “It was trust. It was the bond I believed in. The future I built my life around.” My hand rested lightly over my abdomen. “I can’t pretend that kind of betrayal didn’t happen. I can’t live beside it, touch it, sleep next to it, and tell myself it still means the same thing.”

I needed the money for countless bills. Another worker passed by and rolled her eyes at me. On her name tag, I saw her name was Halsey, and I wondered if I had ever done anything to Halsey. Ever since I got a job as a cleaner here, I grabbed zero friends and a bazillion enemies. Except for Raphael who was always pesky about dating me, but I always turned him down, remembering my past relationship with Abien. I bet other workers laughed at him for seeing me as a person of interest.

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.

I looked at her quietly and didn't say a word. She suddenly laughed softly. "I knew it. You'll never forgive me. And honestly, I don't deserve your forgiveness. "But no matter what, whether you believe me or not, you were always the only father I ever had and the only one I'll ever recognize." After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked away. I wanted to say something, but in the end, I didn't call out to her. Affection is like glass; once broken, the cracks remain forever.
