Broken Bonds Novels & Stories

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.

Shame. The air itself seemed to recoil. For a heartbeat, they all saw it—the fragile thread that connected them, quivering with strain, luminous and frayed at the edges. Ronan broke the silence first. “If this continues,” he said, voice low, “the bond will turn on us. It will devour what we built.” Mirra’s reply was barely a whisper. “Maybe it already has.” Between the Lines of Thought After that confrontation, something subtle but irrevocable shifted.

Then walked out. A silent threat. She was warning me: open your mouth, and I'll infect you myself. *** Two weeks later, Jack cornered me outside Moonshade Medical. "Sophia, come on—we need to talk. Why are you ending our mate bond like this? Can't we just sit down? Talk? Why take this to the Elders' Council? You really think Alice and I betrayed you?" "It’s time to go to work. I'll see you at the hearing." I coldly shook off Jack’s hand.Couldn't wait for the Elders to sever the bond.

I nod. “I think he broke his ribs.” Mia tells her and she gasps. “How did it happen?” Mia glances over at Josh who looks indifferent about the situation. Her mom trails her eyes and she notices Josh’s swollen cheek. Her eyes moves to me and then back to Josh. “Did you guys fight?” She inquires.

"A love bond can be broken?" "Oh yes. Neratomay will form many bonds, but they weaken and eventually disappear if they haven't been fortified with contact or a blood pact. But when a blood pact has been performed—what you called a love bond—then it is necessary to do a bond dissolution. It's very difficult and very painful, although one party can take on all of the pain—as I did." "I never knew such a thing existed," I said in awe. "And what about other bonds; ones between a sire and progeny?"

A faint reddish light showed on our hands and I sighed. This is the second time I am making this bond and I don't know why it feels somehow now. I literally broke the bond about two days ago and now I have to rebuild it. What does this make me look like? Someone who can't make up their mind? This is bad!

And the words— They stole the very breath from my lungs. “To the daughters of the Moon: The twin bond shall cleanse the ancient curse. Light and shadow, born of one blood. When one falls, the other shall carry the darkness. When both unite, the world shall heal.” My vision blurred. Lyra and Nyla. Twin bond. But Nyla… Nyla was gone. Her blood had stained my hands. Her screams still echoed through my dreams. “How can the bond be healed,” I whispered shakily, “if one half is dead?”

"What happened instead." "The bonded partner—the one not directly injured—experienced something the old records call fracture." Cael's voice carries specific weight on that word. "Not death exactly. Something more complicated. The bond's strength means that if Kael dies from this wound while it remains untreated, you don't simply grieve." "What happens." "You break in ways that don't heal the way normal grief eventually does," Cael says. "The bond was strong enough to disrupt Vayne's control during our confrontation. That same strength means its severance—through death rather than choice—creates damage that exceeds typical loss."

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.

The last solid piece of the bond did not fray this time. It tore. One moment I could still feel the thin, stubborn thread that connected me to Kael, the only part of the link that had survived the core’s long assault. The next moment that thread stretched past its limit and split. A cold, hollow silence rushed into the space where his presence had lived for so long. It was not the gradual quieting of earlier cycles. It was sudden, clean, and absolute. Kael made a sound I had never heard from him before.
