The Mate Bond She Was Meant For Novels & Stories

My wolf howled, making me think of nothing else. This dirty, trembling nobody… was mine. I nearly stumbled back, like the wind had been knocked out of me. No way. Not possible. I’d made peace with being mate-less forever. Too old, too scared. The Moon Goddess had passed me by, and I’d built an entire life on that. So why her? Why now? What sick joke was this? Would I have to reject her? Her scent hit me with wild lilacs, rain-soaked earth. It clawed at my sanity. The pull between us roared through my fury, tangling up my instincts. I should’ve killed her. Should’ve.

It was a bond forged in the crucible of trials and strengthened in the face of adversity. "Can you feel it, Sasha?" Alec asked, his voice strained from the relentless battle. "Our bond... it's evolving." I nodded, casting a glance at him. "I can feel it, Alec. Our bond, our connection... it's stronger than ever." The realization bolstered our spirits, lending us strength we didn't know we possessed. With renewed determination, we faced the beast once more. Its roars echoed around us, a reminder of the daunting challenge we faced.

That this mateship and love doesn’t have to hurt. Love, well that’s a loaded word to use so soon, but that’s what mate bonds do. Most of the time mate bonds encourage love and falling in love. It didn’t work that way with Matteo and his first mate. To be honest Matteo got screwed with his first mate. Cheryl was in love with someone else and was never going to love Matteo. I do feel bad for him in that aspect. I used to think I was cursed for being a second chance mate, but maybe I’m not.

Her scent that reminded me of a blossoming garden in the midst of spring, her hair that reminded me of the golden beach sand that made up their shores, her dark eyes that reminded me of black tea, her smile that lit up a room which she only showed him, her sun-kissed skin that was soft to the touch. My brain had memorized every detail of her. The mate bond was something I had seen amongst others and heard about but feeling it was something entirely different. It felt suffocating and yet breathed a new life within you with new purpose. It hurt and yet it was explosive pleasure. It drew you closer to the other half of your soul and yet repelled it from you.

"But don't worry. Now that I'm here, you can move on with a clear conscience." "Excuse me?" "Oh, come on. You must have known this would happen eventually. Fated mates always find each other. What you and Adrian had was just... practice. For both of you." My hands clenched into fists. "You don't know anything about what Adrian and I had." "I know he's mine now. The mate bond is already so strong between us. When we're together, it's like the rest of the world disappears." She tilted her head. "Has he kissed you since we met? Held you? Made love to you?"

“I...my apologies, Alpha. I didn’t mean to overstep.” Ryan’s gaze lingered on her for a brief moment. He felt the need to say what he has been trying to run from and he did. “He is my mate.” The words were simple and straight to the point. Ethan shocked, Jasmine’s breath caught, but she didn’t dare say a word. Lily, however, stiffened beside her, eyes widening despite herself. “…your mate?” she whispered, more to herself than anyone else. "Yes." “The bond revealed on the night of the peace ceremony." Ryan responded his focus on Ethan who was still frozen from the revelation.

"It's fine. Now that everything's out in the open, there's no switching mates for the ceremony tomorrow. I'll talk to Anna later. Once things cool down, we'll break the mate bond." Nora's eyes flashed coldly, but she managed a smile. "Sure. Whatever you need, I'm on board." … The mate-bonding ceremony was held in the most luxurious ballroom in the entire pack. The place was already packed before things even got started. Joe was restless, glancing at his phone repeatedly. He hadn't been able to get in touch with me since powering it back on yesterday, and a tight, uneasy feeling had been gnawing at him ever since.

Every time he came home, he brought me freshly picked flowers. I ignored the scent. But now I knew. It wasn’t the garden—It was her. I never scented him—I couldn’t. 因为I was a Luna without a wolf. And without a wolf, the mate bond never warned me when he betrayed me. “Where were you?” I asked calmly. “Pack business,” he said easily. “Working late.” You lied. You weren’t handling pack affairs. You were with her—Helping her. She had sent me videos of everything—smiling, recording, deliberately slow.

I wanted to kiss her luscious lips one more time and sink my teeth into her delicate neck, claiming her as mine, so why was she acting like she was oblivious to the mate bond? Was she pretending so she wouldn’t have anything to do with me? I mean, that was the only thing I could figure out. Since she was my second chance mate, I presume it must be easy to win her back. The mate bond was a really powerful thing, and I was sure we wouldn’t be able to stay away from each other for long.

“Hey, you never have to worry about him ever again.” She rubbed her forehead. “Blaze, what is happening between us? Why do I feel the way I do? Being with you just…just feels right.” She told me. I chuckled. “It’s called the mate bond. It’s what brings us together but in the end it’s up to us to nurture and build the, our bond. That’s if you want to, which I hope you do. I don’t think I could do my day to day if you and my little nuggets aren’t here.” By this time, I had pulled her onto my lap and was gazing into her eyes.
