Unbroken Bonds (The Bonds That Tie, #6)

by J. Bree

I feel something extra in the girl there, the small Flame with a strong Gift, and though it frustrates me, I leave it alone for now.

Gryphon’s hand isn’t cupping the side of my neck like it usually is. He’s gripping my throat the same way that he would when we’re alone, when he’s whispering filthy demands and observations into my ear as his hips drive his cock into my body.

“I would never harm you. I couldn’t even if I wanted to. You’re mine. Nothing changes that.”

“Soothsayer. It's been an age, or maybe even three, since I last saw you. I was kind of hoping I wouldn't run into you in this lifetime. I'd rather deal with the shadow boys than you.” A very inappropriate giggle tries to burst out of my lips at the very idea of someone calling North and Nox ‘shadow boys’. I know that if I look at either one of them right now, I will lose the fight and dissolve into a fit of laughter.

“Patience and unerring devotion is all it took. The rest of you have spent too long fighting amongst yourselves and not enough time looking for what you really need. The Eternal is mine. I return for my Bonded.”

“I waited for you. We all waited for this lifetime, for these vessels… and for you. You are as vital to me as the bond within you. Without question, I see that clearly now.”
