The Bond That Ties Us Novels & Stories

“Too late. We’re all tied to her now. All of us.” The word tied made me shiver. My mind swirled, filled with images of what that meant—three men, bound to me. And me, bound to them. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. The intensity was overwhelming, dizzying, but thrilling in a way I couldn’t deny. Damon stepped closer, letting his presence envelop me like a shield. “The bond is evolving,” he said softly. “You’ve felt the shift tonight. But it’s only the beginning. You’ll grow stronger, and so will the connection between us.”

New threats to face. But we'd face them t ogether. United. Strong. The trinity bond pulsed warm between us. Perfect. Complete. Unbreakable. Whatever came next, we were ready.

The bond hummed between us. We had time. We'd figure this out. Together.

We are now bonded by love. The end.

“Because if you walk into that chamber, the bond will complete.” Evelyn froze. “Complete?” she echoed. “Yes,” the woman said gently. “And once a tether bond completes, it can’t be undone. Your lives will be… intertwined. Permanently.” Evelyn’s heart pounded so hard she could hear it in her ears. “I don’t want a bond,” she said. “I want my life back.” “That’s not possible,” the woman replied softly. Anger flared. “No. You don’t get to decide that.”

Thick and unbreakable. Finley cups my cheek, brushing away a tear I hadn’t realised had escaped. “Mine,” he whispers. “Yours,” I agree, pressing my hand over his heart. He rolls us onto our sides and pulls me closer, wrapping himself around me like he’ll never let go, and maybe he won’t. Because now we are bonded, he can’t. The five of us are a fully bonded group now. A unit. Tied together forever.

“Look, I get it. The bond is messing with your head. But all this? Tracking apps, sending my people to spy on him, bugging his stuff? This is too far, man. It’s turning into obsession.” “It’s not obsession,” I snapped, teeth gritted. “I just—” I took a breath, trying to articulate the feeling in my chest without sounding completely insane. “The bond is stronger than anything I’ve ever felt. It pulls at me every second of the day. I need to know where he is. I need to know if he’s okay. If something happened to him or the pup…” I trailed off. Just the thought made my skin crawl. Charlie gave me a long, disappointed look. “Levi… do you even hear yourself? You know this isn’t normal.”

But as long as they continue talking to each other they knew that they were going to make it in a way that most people didn't have the opportunity to. “well here's to the ties that bind us.” Jonathan said as he kissed her again, “you never have to fear telling me that you're pregnant with our children. Whether it be one or nine it really doesn't matter not to me at least. Because they are everything that will bind you to me and me to you for the rest of our lives and beyond though. I'm extremely lucky to have found you when I did. I wouldn't change anything in our lives and that I love you more than anything else could possibly be.” “to the ties that bind us forever and eternity.”

“Promise me we can always stay like this before the world drags us under again?” His lips twitched. “I promise. But only if you stop trying to outrun me.” I laughed softly, a shaky, short sound that made my chest ache with relief. “I don’t think I can.” “Good.” he said, letting the bond wrap around us both. “Because I don’t plan on letting you go. Ever.” And with that, the lake reflected more than just the sky. It reflected us - bound, unbroken, unafraid. Standing together on the edge of war but not yet broken by it.

“Chloe, what are you standing there for? It’s time for the bond.” Bond? Great. I had actually returned to the day of bonding with Marty, the white dragon. “Father, I—” However, before I could finish, Leigh and Marty dropped to their knees, hand in hand. “Chief,” Marty said, “although I am the spirit beast of two maidens, my heart belongs only to Leigh. Let me bond with her, please.” At his words, the entire Rain Clan gasped.
