Witcher 3: Blood Ties Novels & Stories

Their love blossomed amidst the magic they shared, and their romance became a beacon of hope for the witches and werewolves alike, proving that unity transcended the boundaries of their supernatural differences. Alex, the third alpha triplet, was initially drawn to a vampire council member named Seraphina. Their friendship grew through shared interests in ancient history and literature. Alex admired Seraphina's eternal wisdom and her ability to find beauty in the fleeting moments of life.

I looked away again, trying to calm the thoughts in my head. For most of my life, I had grown up unwanted. It was difficult to suddenly believe someone out there might actually care about me. Damon gently touched my hand. “You are not that abandoned girl anymore.” Before I could answer, Mira walked toward us with several old books in her arms. “I found more records connected to the prophecy,” she said. Rylan immediately looked interested. “Anything useful?” “Possibly.” Mira placed the books carefully on one of the nearby tables. “Most of the records are incomplete, but there are repeated mentions of three bloodlines joining together.”

Which, considering three-quarters of our group were actual wolves, wasn't that far off. Adrian had a massive book open to a page filled with cramped handwriting in what looked like old English. The illustration showed a woman surrounded by three wolves, all of them glowing with some kind of ethereal light. "'The Sacred Three-Bond,'" Adrian read aloud, his finger tracing the text. "'In rare instances throughout history, a Luna Racer—bearer of the triple bloodline—has formed bonds with three mates to balance her considerable power. Wolf for strength, wolf for wisdom, wolf for grounding. Together, they become a force unmatched in supernatural history.'"

Or so I thought. “This is not about him,” I said evenly, but doubt settles itself inside me. The witch’s eyes flashed. “The tether runs through him.” “This is not anchored here,” I said quietly, as realization settles inside me. “No,” she replied, satisfaction thick in her tone. “You destroyed the doorway. But the tether binds to blood.” The crimson light beneath the circle shifted direction stretching outward, as if connecting to something unseen beyond the mist. Dallas growled while pacing at the back of my mind. ‘Ryder's blood’.

Camila pressed the knife to her skin, drawing blood. “So, you’re just going to let him go around hurting people? Just because you love him?” “He didn’t do it, Camilo. Mera is lying!” “That’s bullshit and you know it!” “No! What’s bullshit is Mera trying to ruin our lives! She’s evil and you’re playing right into her hands!” Camila screamed and took a step toward Camilo, the knife still against her throat. And I stared at her in shock before noticing more blood trickling down her neck.

“I shot my cousin. My family—my blood.” Damian’s gaze softened, though his tone was fierce. “And he would’ve killed me. Or worse, handed you over to Enzo to save himself. Don’t you see, Adriana? He betrayed you first. Tonight, the blood on your hands isn’t your shame—it’s his.” But her chest ached with the weight of it. She could still hear Luca’s voice, broken and raw: You shot me. Damian pulled her close, his hand firm against the small of her back. “Listen to me. This is war. Blood ties don’t protect you anymore. They bind you. And if you want to live—if you want us—you have to be willing to cut them.”

"Real ones, not the sham attempts that have failed before. We reach out to the witch community, show them the evidence, offer a genuine ceasefire." "They'll never trust it," Thaddeus said. "Why would they? We've been enemies for too long." "Because of Sera and Lucien," Elara said quietly. Everyone turned to look at her. "The bond. It's proof that connection between our species is still possible. That's what the Greythornes feared most—not just the truth about the murder, but what the bond represents." She was correct. Sera sensed it through Lucien's link, which had become more intense over the previous few weeks, less agonizing, and more organic.

“If Niko was here, you know what he would’ve done.” Wilder groaned. “We need to get our own dog.” He got to his feet again and pulled Joseph’s chair to the side. His shirt was soaked with his own blood, his breathing ragged and he looked on the verge of passing out. “It’s been fun, Joseph, but all this rough play just turns me on more. I’m sorry to hurry it up, but I’ve got a hot date.” Wilder’s blade sliced into his stomach, blood and intestines spilling onto the floor. A gurgling sound came from Joseph and then his head slumped forward onto his chest. Wilder wiped his blade clean and Arya washed the severed fingers and ear under the faucet.

“You don’t?” “We don’t live together.” Isabella laughed — a little too loud. “Oh my God, I hope not. That would be weird. You’re his stepsister.” Ainara’s eyes narrowed. Isabella leaned in, voice playful. “You know, there are so many pornos about that trope. Stepsister, stepbrother. It’s a whole genre.” Ainara didn’t flinch. Instead, she smiled sweetly. “Do you watch those kinds of p**n, Isabella?”

"What anchors." "Four bound to one," Lucian said quietly. The same words from the pendant. From the carving. "One born of three. The prophecy isn't metaphorical, Aria. Every tribrid in recorded history was meant to bond with four anchors , one for each nature, plus one more. Wolf. Vampire. Witch. And a fourth that doesn't correspond to any of the three natures at all." "What's the fourth."
