Familial Ties Novels & Stories

Ella smirks at this truth but doesn’t comment, looking further and deeper beyond Ariel’s physical body, searching her soul. And…there. Yes, right at the center, where she knew they’d be, are Ariel’s bonds – stretched long and silver in several directions.

And then the unique ones with her brother and her cousin. And then, beyond those… Ella fights the urge to gasp at what she sees.

Weeks for investigation to resolve questions that have made every choice temporary. Lyralei settled beside her with expression that suggested personal investment rather than mere professional duty, family connection that wanted to be real regardless of genealogical verification, sister supporting sister's choice even when that choice caused pain to everyone involved.

Gorian used as leverage to force my cooperation. "How could she know about the baby?" I ask. "Familial bonds," Rhett says simply. "Children are more sensitive to biological changes in family members. She probably sensed the pregnancy through her connection to you before it was detectable any other way." Familial bonds, the same connections I've been unable to trust since my capture, the relationships that Dr. Gorian spent days trying to convince me were fabricated or damaged beyond repair. But if Maya sensed the pregnancy through our bond, if she drew pictures including our unborn child, then those connections are more real and resilient than Dr. Gorian counted on.

I slammed the glass on the table, Noah shivered and pulled away. "Never!" I growled. If growing up means letting that bastard get into my family, then I'd rather not. "Why?" Kyle pressed on, I faced him. Silence engulfed the sound of the music in the club. Why couldn't I let go? There were so many reasons. First, that bastard snatched my girlfriend from me only to break her heart. Secondly, he is the son of a bitch my father has chosen to marry my sister off, of all people.

Quote for this episode: ‘’Family isn't about sharing the same genetics. That's being related. Family is when you love someone to death, and You would do anything for them. You trust them, Take care of them, And in Return they do the same. It's the type of bond you hold together.’’
