Relationship Bond Novels & Stories

She knew well enough that I could smell her, and she was doing her best not to provoke me. So, about the dates…We went to a restaurant, to the movies, ate dinner at home prepared by her, and played board games. We had a comfortable, friendly fucking time every night. But what could I say? I enjoyed it more than anything because we were bonding in a different way than mates do. We were creating a friendship link. In our world, there are three kinds of relationships – connections between people. First, the mate bond: The invisible threat pairing two souls for life, which is granted by the Goddess. That’s what Aria and I had from the moment we set eyes on each other.

“Especially your wards. I have rarely come across anyone with such well developed wards before, so young too. And so heavily influenced by witches…” “The wards make the mind reading tolerable…” She said absently, her mind on the other part of the conversation. “You mean… They can interfere with the bonds to my mates?” “Of course,” he looked at her in genuine puzzlement. “The bond connects two individuals, like a ribbon tied between them. Hmmm, no, that’s a poor analogy. Like an artery. There is a flow of energy from one person to another, connecting you together, feeding each other, tying you to one another. That is why it’s called a bond.”

That's all. Kyrian's chest tightened. He turned toward Lorenzo slightly. Lorenzo turned too. They were facing each other now. Close. "I read something once," Kyrian said. His voice was quiet. "About bonds & mates . About how they work. It said that the bond doesn't create feelings. It just amplifies what's already there." Lorenzo was very still. "I've read that too." "If that's true." Kyrian looked at him. "Then what I feel isn't just the bond."

For that brief, shining moment, I understood what I am, what I could become. "I felt you both," I say, studying their reactions carefully. "At the end, when my light was failing. Your energy... flowed into me somehow." The twins exchange one of their loaded glances, some silent communication passing between them that I can't decipher. "The bond," Riku says simply, earning a sharp look from Rain. "You needed strength," Rain counters, clearly choosing his words with precision. "We provided it. A temporary connection that allowed energy transfer." I turn to face him directly. "Stop dancing around this. What is this bond? Why does it happen when you touch me? Why can I feel you both even when we

I questioned him. He shook his head, chuckling. "They don't have a bond until we mate. There's only a link. Think of it as an invisible red ribbon that ties our hearts together and slowly tightens. Drawing us closer to each other. In a pack, we also have other links and bonds, but we won't go over that right now." Confusion dripped from my face. "How does that end in us dying, then?"

Magnets meant to attract, now bound to repel. "I'm not telling you this to hurt you." She added. "I just - the mating bond usually isn't too complicated. I've heard of mates who don't even have a sexual attraction. Their relationship is purely platonic and they even see other people. For years people have confused the mating bond for that because that's what it usually equates to. But really, the mating bond helps you find love, in the purest form. Someone you can't live without. That's why I wanted to talk to you. I know that your relationship with Tristan isn't the best right now -"

Ty moved to my side without thinking, his shoulder brushing mine once, the bond between us sharpening from sleepy warmth into battle-readiness so fast it felt like a blade being drawn. A chill passed through me that had nothing to do with the night air. “What is that? I said. “The mate bond, it changes as we change. Like it is learning, not just the shape of us but what our Relationship means with each issue.” Ty replies with a short smile.

"I know. He's been taken by a bad demon. And he's going to come after me? " "What? " "I was in the WorldMind, a place where I can see minds and thoughts". 'You need to go far from here', she thought. He heard her thoughts . 'No, I'm not'. She heard his reply. "I can hear you". "So do I". They now had a psychic link. "What does this mean? " "I'm bonded with you". "That term is too far out". "It's not. We've bonded emotionally, physically and now mentally". "How about financially? ", she joked.

"We are in a relationship. We are exclusively in a relationship. We have a soul bond that would make the alternative structurally very awkward. These are simple facts." "The soul bond doesn't actually prevent—" "It prevents it from being comfortable," Cassian said. "Which amounts to the same thing." Aiden laughed. The sound of it — and it was different from Adrian's laugh, lower, different shape, same essential warmth — did what it always did, which was make Cassian feel the bond settle into a more contented register. "Exclusive, committed relationship," Aiden said. "DTR complete." "DTR," Cassian said. "Define the relationship," Aiden said. "It's an acronym."

"When will we know it’s safe to touch her without destroying her?" "When she chooses us," I said, with a certainty that burned. "Only then." He watched as I took his place. As I kissed her. As I felt what he had felt. Her light was a fire, and we only knew darkness. And yet… she didn’t burn us. She revealed us. She made us vulnerable. The bond had already begun. Not in flesh. Not in blood. In the soul. And that union… was irrevocable.
