Unbinding Book Novels & Stories

He drops the unchained book on the floor in front of me, bends down to kiss the top of my head as I get comfy, then sits on the end of the sofa closest to me, well within arms reach. The book has beautiful, with swirling gilt script on the spine and the front cover which makes me think of Wolfie when he is looking out through Phoenix’ eyes. As I run my fingers along each letter, sparks tingle and dance across my fingertips. ‘Liber Umbrarum’ are the words embossed into the dark brown leather. I have no idea what they mean and if I’m honest, I’m not entirely sure I want to find out. “I’m here baby girl. You can do this. You need answers.” I hadn’t noticed Phoenix kneeling beside me until he s

--- Alone again, Kael looked down at the book in his hands. Twin Bonds of Power. Whatever this was— It wasn’t just a connection. It was a risk. A weapon. And possibly— A weakness. Kael exhaled slowly, closing the book. “Let’s see which one it becomes.”

Mine was frantic and shallow; Killian’s was deep and dangerously steady. The air in the library smelled of old parchment and expensive leather, a sharp contrast to the perfume and champagne outside. It was a cold room, but the heat radiating from Killian was enough to burn. He did not turn on the lights. He did not have to. The moonlight filtered through the tall windows, casting long, jagged shadows across the floor. He did not stop until I was pressed back against a shelf of leather bound books, the hard spines digging into my shoulder blades. "Killian," I whispered, the name catching in my throat.

For the rest of the movie, their hands stayed that way. Hidden in the dark. Unspoken. Unbreakable. After the Movie When the lights came back on, they both slowly let go. Neither mentioned it. “That wasn’t that scary,” Tae Min said casually. “You’re lying.” They laughed. But as they exited the theater— Tae Min felt something strange. Like they were being watched. He turned slightly. A familiar figure disappeared behind a pillar. His chest tightened. No… it couldn’t be. He didn’t say anything.

Kelvin dragged his feet as he walked lazily towards his friends who had their chins burried into the large pile of books they were holding. That was when it crossed to his mind that he were to join them but he never did because of Hashmuk. “Am sorry, I didn’t mean not to join you guys yesterday. I was..” He apologized but he was cut short. “If you want to join us, then join. But unfortunately we are already done.” Harriet stood from the chair she was sitting on, grabbed her books and pulled the othes along with her. Kelvin was left all alone rooted at his place.

“The fantasies. The things you think about when you touch yourself. I want to know what makes you wet.” My breath hitches. “I… I like the idea of not being in control, being held down or tied up, blindfolded. Where I can’t see or move and I just have to feel everything you do to me.” His eyes darken, but his voice stays calm. “Bondage. Sensory deprivation. You want to surrender completely.” “Yes,” I admit, voice barely above a whisper.

But tonight, they felt like my only lifeline. I pulled out the first one, The Sacred Tether: Understanding Soul Bonds, and flipped through it quickly, scanning for anything on how to break a bond. My hands trembled as I turned the pages. “Severing a bond is rare…” “Dangerous…” “Often leads to emotional instability or permanent damage…” I slammed the book shut. “No. That can’t be all there is,” I muttered, tossing it onto the bed and grabbing another one. Dark Threads and Light: The Balance of Bonds.

“Leave. Now.” “As you wish. But I must tell you something,” I raised the book to eye level, and his gaze followed it as I had intended. “What is that?” He inquired none too pleasantly. “I don’t have time for your games, brother. Spit it out if you will.” “It’s about the mate bond. I wanted to come to you with my findings, before it was too late.” “Too late?” Arnold asked. “There’s a way to break the mate bind, according to this book,” I explained. “But it has to be on the night before a full moon. The next full moon is coming up in the next couple of days and so that means-“

I gasp as I feel my wolf come howling back to me, her teeth ripping and gnashing inside me at the injustice done to her, in her eagerness to get out of here, to help our baby – I look up at my mother, then – knowing it is done – knowing that she has used the magic of our bond to unbind my wolf and her gift. And in its unbinding, our connection has been…used up.
