Broken Bonds (The Bonds that Tie, #1)

by J. Bree

"Maybe I should bond with you, Poison. Maybe I should try you out so the next time I fuck my girlfriend, you'll know all about it and you'll feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest. It might help you to understand what you put the rest of us through when you ran off."

Then my brain comes back online, and I remember all of the devastation that’s already come from my power. I cannot let myself get any stronger. I can’t become the evil that the Resistance wants me to be.

Nox is pissed and he tried to bond with me. It didn't work, and he's told me I'm defective. You should probably be warned that you're trying to solidify a bond with someone who isn't... worth it. I'm turning my phone off to go to sleep. Goodnight, Atlas. You're the best guy I've ever known, and I'm so sorry you're stuck with a defective Bond.

If the Dravens are monsters, then what does that make me?

How do I tell him that the nightmares are horrible but the least of our problems? If only they were the worst thing I can do.
