Veilguard Companions Romance Each Other Novels & Stories

He, too, is walking among the guests of the party with his nose stuck to the air, occasionally sniffing the other guests. Twisting and turning in and out of the guests I move closer to Violet and the guard that are desperately trying to make their way to one another through the crowd. Another male wolf places his hand on Violet's shoulder and inhales her neck deeply before letting her go. A fearsome growl fills the night air as the guard rushes towards Violet. Once they are standing in front of one another they both stand in front of each stunned as if they have been struck by lightning. "Mate," they both say at the same time. The guard takes Violet in his arms and kisses her deeply in

It's the kind you make if you are a guardian, a lead guardian like Silas and you choose your partner to work with. It's a blood bond, similar to when you pledge yourself as a guardian, but you're pledging yourself as a working partner to the other person. When a guardian chooses a partner to work with, it's usually for life. You learn to trust that person with your life. This bond allows you to work better together, it keeps you in sync. It allows you to always know where the other one is, which came in hand in the past when Azrael was suddenly bombarded by too many vampires. Their scent was hidden so Azrael was unaware they were even there. Silas was able to know exactly where he was withou

she gasped, her voice shaking. “Guardians,” Lucian said, his voice grim, parrying a shadowy claw. “The Veil’s protectors—or hers.” I gripped the dagger tighter, its hum a scream now, and the mark burned, her voice breaking through—*you can’t hide*. The shadows pressed closer, their faces shifting—mine, Lucian’s, the pack’s, twisted, pleading, accusing. The bond strained, Lucian’s fear slamming into me, and I felt it—her, not just watching, but *here*, in the shadows, in me.

I was to pretend this affair didn't exist and do nothing to stop them. Something wrapped its arm around my throat. I tore the contract into shreds. Nathaniel had kept the affair a secret for five whole years. That was something I didn't see coming. … It happened one night when I came home—three months had passed since our wedding. The first thing that greeted my eyes was a house turned upside-down. I saw torn clothes, undergarments, and questionable stains all over the ground. I walked into my bedroom. That was where I found Nathaniel in bed, naked with another woman. The scene hit me like a sledgehammer.

the vampire said and I shook my head sadly. Two of our mates are going to be away, said my she-wolf Becca painfully. And as if they sensed what I felt, they immediately approached me. Are you all right? Connor's question startled me and suddenly Biel appeared concerned. “What's wrong with you? I can feel it,” the captain of the guards said. I shook my head, incredulous at the extent of the bond. “Two of my gourds are going to be away; my she-wolf doesn't like that very much,” I said to get out of the way.

"God, here's another poser!" My roommate, Fiona Sharpe, grinned as she shoved her phone at us. Its screen showed a student chat group where a bold message stood out. It read, "Urgently looking for a female date—must be attractive—to accompany me to a banquet. You'll receive ten grand upfront as payment."

Isabella, do you think loyalty has a place in a partnership like this? The question caught me off guard. I said, barely able to raise my voice above a whisper, "I...I don't know." She leaned closer, her gaze unrelenting. Lowering her voice to almost a whisper, she went on, "Let me be clear." "This engagement is not motivated by love. It's built on power, duty, and appearances. If you can't handle this my darling, you don't belong here". Her words left me unsteady. I felt little, unimportant, and quite uneasy. With trembling hands, I set down my teacup, afraid she would see right through me.

I had gambled blindly, and it seemed like it worked. I held out my hands, hopeful. Just loosen it, just a little. That was all I needed—anything to ease this stabbing burn. He stopped in front of me. His hand lifted, and just as he was about to loosen the rope… he paused. What… He slowly turned to the second guard… and they both burst out laughing. I blinked at them in confusion, wondering why they were laughing. The second guard switched to a ridiculous, exaggerated voice and mimicked me: “You should know who I am. I’m Scarlet Veil. I’m the only woman who stayed by his side longer than anyone else. If something happens to me because you ignored me, he’ll punish you severely.”

His easy smile reminded me of Trav and Diamond, a kind of reassurance that made me believe him. From the second-floor lounge, Vivian leaned over the rail. She could see me moving on the treadmill, Ronan beside me with the tablet. Soon others drifted closer—Iver, Finch, Otis, Nessa, Nena. Their gestures and smiles carried over the music even if their words didn’t. They were curious. They were welcoming. Vivian’s lips curved. A solid group. Warriors, straightforward and loyal. Perfect company for me. But she also noticed the way Iver and Finch lingered. Unmated wolves never missed a chance to flirt, especially with someone new.
