Novel & Cerita Broken Bonds Series

Complete. As sleep pulled us under I reflected on the long journey. From that cell where he fucked me raw against the wall in pure rage. Through blackouts and battles and betrayal. Through death and rebirth. To this peaceful powerful life filled with festivals and future dreams. The title Broken Bond, Burning Desire had never been more true. The bond never truly broke. It burned through everything. Death. Curse. Pain. And now it illuminated a future brighter than we deserved. Ronan kissed my forehead in the dark. His arm tight around me. "Sleep my love. Tomorrow we keep building our world."

“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.

“Probably try to seal a bond at some point as chosen mates?” I nod, offering her a reassuring smile. “Is the fated bond really gone, then?” Mrs. Diaz questions, sadness filling her eyes. “There’s no way to get it back?” “I felt it break,” Nessa says quietly, and the pain lacing her voice fucking guts me. “Though I swear sometimes I still feel it, just for a second. Like an echo.” “Me too.” I give her hand a little squeeze, my chest burning with regret. If I’d known then what I do now, I never would’ve left. There isn’t a day that passes where I don’t wish I didn’t.

she glanced at Gavin, “....or something’s not adding up.” “Did you feel the bond break?” Penny asked suddenly. “Really? Did it snap inside you like they say it does?” I opened my mouth to answer, but nothing came out. Because I didn’t. There was pain. Devastation. But no snap. The bond never broke. My breath caught as realization clawed its way up my throat. “I never… felt it break,” I whispered. I pressed a hand to my heart, the pain and need twisting even deeper, like vines around my lungs. “So what are you saying?” I asked, my voice tight. “That this… that this means what?”

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.

“Then start with why the bond is gone, because if you think I’m just going to stand here and accept that, you’re out of your fucking mind.” “I didn’t break it,” he said. That… that didn’t help. My hands clenched, frustration rising again. “Then explain it,” I said, sharper now, my chest tight with something between anger and panic. “Because from where I’m standing, it feels pretty fucking broken.” Eric tilted his head slightly, studying me like that reaction mattered more than the question. “It’s not broken,” he said slowly. “You’ve just been separated from it.” Didn’t feel right, didn’t fit.

“You shouldn’t be here.” “I should,” he replied simply. The pain throbbed, then receded into a deep, relentless ache. Rowan waited until her breathing steadied. “That wasn’t a memory,” he said quietly. “That was a bond echo.” Her eyes burned. “It’s still there.” “Yes.” “Why?” she demanded. “Why won’t it break?” Rowan’s gaze softened. “Because some bonds don’t snap cleanly. They fray.” She laughed weakly. “That sounds worse.”

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.

Because the ritual doesn’t fully work. A shudder tears through me as her scream fades—but not completely. The chain at my core snaps, not in release, but in rupture. I collapse, my limbs trembling uncontrollably, but something inside me burns still. She is not gone. Not truly. Not whole, either. The bond is broken—but not severed.

His voice was laced with a deep, aching hurt, a sense of betrayal that she had allowed someone else into the darkest corners of her pain while keeping him locked out. "I’m sorry… I’m so sorry," Elodie choked out, tears now streaming freely down her face. The shame, the fear, the lingering grief she’d carried for so long, all bubbled to the surface. "I just...I couldn’t bring myself to tell you." How could she tell him that she was broken, that she couldn't give him the one thing society often deemed essential for a complete family?
