Ties That Bind Audiobook Novels & Stories

I stopped dead in my tracks, my fingers gripping the silver handles of the tray so hard the metal bit into my raw skin. There was a heavy, suffocating silence from inside the room before Kieran's deep, gravelly voice echoed through the crack. He sounded incredibly distant, his tone weighed down by an unyielding, exhausted gravity. "You know I can't just walk away, Tanya," Kieran rumbled, each word sounding like a heavy iron chain dragging across stone. "I am bound by the bond." The world stopped spinning. *I am bound by the bond.* The words sliced through my chest like a jagged blade, tearing away the silver mist, the sweet promises, and the fragile hope I had spent the morning trying to pro

“How do you know how to read this? No one in the pack touches these books. They are locked away for a reason.” “I just do,” I said. My voice sounded different for a second. Clearer and steadier. “It is called Echo Binding. That is what is happening. Someone imprinted pieces of him into me. It is not random. It needs a compatible host, someone already weak or dying.” Rhydian grabbed my arm, grip firm but not painful. “Echo Binding? Keep reading. What else does it say? Tell me everything.”

Jenny’s body trembled as she crouched behind the broken pew. The sound of footsteps echoed through the church, slow and deliberate. She could feel Ethan’s grip tighten on her wrist, his breath warm against her ear. Whoever had entered was searching for them. Her heart pounded so hard she feared it would give them away. The steps moved closer. Ethan pressed his lips near her ear. “Stay quiet,” he whispered. Jenny barely nodded. The silence stretched, thick with tension. Then, just as suddenly as they had entered, the footsteps retreated. The heavy church doors creaked shut, leaving behind an eerie stillness.

he whispered, his eyes glowing dimly, his voice a low whisper, “I bind the strands of fate, shape the invisible, and reveal long-hidden truths.” The third figure stepped forward, his towering frame draped in armor so ancient. The sheer size of him was intimidating, but his voice carried a steady calm, like a mountain unshaken by storms. “I am the Warden of Steel. I am both the shield and the blade, unyielding and resolute. None pass through this citadel without proving their worth.” Gaia’s breath hitched as an older man approached, his steps measured, his pale tattoos glowing faintly with a soft blue light. His frail appearance carried an undeniable aura of wisdom, and his calm voice seemed

"I just... could. It popped into my head by itself." Like hunger made you eat, thirst made you drink, bringing down a publicly traded company might be nothing more than instinct for him. I had no words. The room fell completely silent, and we stared at each other. I was still reeling in shock, and he was calm and collected. After a long moment, his stomach made an untimely growl. He rubbed his stomach, picked up the book, and flipped it over to cover his face. His muffled voice came from under the pages.

I see black curly hair, a cocky smirk, chaos twinkling behind his eyes, and the capacity to melt my panties off with one look of he really tried hard enough. “Table for three?” I ask. Curly-hair guy leans his elbow on the podium like he’s posing for a magazine cover. “Libby.” I blink. “…What?” His grin widens. “Libby, right?” “…How do you know my name?” His eyes sparkle with mischief. “Your sister introduced us. Very loudly. After knocking over an entire fantasy section.” “Oh.” Oh. Oh NO. It’s chaos bookstore guy. Fantastic. Perfect. Love this for me.

--- As the day faded, they spread the journals across the floor, deciphering fragments of spells and rituals. One entry stood out—dated two weeks before Adrian’s mother’s death: > “The voice must be protected, even if bound through time and body. The heart that listens must learn to hear beyond flesh.” Mira whispered, “Beyond flesh… she knew this would happen.” Adrian’s fingers brushed the page. “Perhaps she foresaw you.” She laughed weakly. “A possessed woman obsessed with shipping men together? Yeah, that’s exactly what every noble mother dreams of.” He chuckled. “Perhaps it’s your unconventional nature that makes you… audible.”

My fingers tremble as I tie a knot around my waist, as if it’s capable of holding me together when everything else starts breaking. My heart is in my throat with every step I take toward the door. My knees feel weaker, and my mind sways with each passing second. I can’t do this. I have to stand my ground. I can’t keep losing myself. I need to grow up. I don’t process turning the lock or opening the door, but I do process his deep frown lines and creased forehead. I feel his firm grip on my arm, pulling me closer as he bends to meet my face. Only then do I smell the scotch on his breath and the strong mixture of sweat and body odor radiating from him.

She clapped her hands with delight. "Scott, this is hilarious!" I saw myself in the rearview mirror. I looked helpless while the homeless man grew more excited. Scott didn't react. He glanced at me once before turning to Eula. He let her rest her head on his shoulder. "As long as you're happy," he said softly. Just as the homeless man tried to go further, the collar around my neck suddenly tightened. The car had started moving again. The pulling force was violent. My neck jerked backward, and my body was dragged along.

I tried to move but the chains binding my wrists and ankles echoed through the small room. Panic started to take hold of my body. My breaths became unsteady and restless, but I forced myself to remain calm, focused on the voices that were in the distance. Shia’s voice was unmistakable, sharp. I could hear the cold and venom in her tone of voice. The other voice was a man, it sounded very familiar but I was too disorientated to make out who it was. Everything happened too fast. The abduction was almost a blur. I noticed that they were talking about something important, but they were too far to clearly make out what they were saying. All that I knew was they were serious, by the way of their t
