Unbroken Bonds (The Bonds That Tie, #6)

by J. Bree

THE GODS HAVE WOKEN The Eternal lives within Oleander Fallows. The Crux lives within North Draven. The Corvus lives within Nox Draven. The Soothsayer lives within Gryphon Shore. The Draconis lives within Gabriel Ardern. The Cleaver lives within Atlas Bassinger.

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.

“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.

“That is the difference between this time and last. This time, we’re going to survive this. All of us. I’m not going to kill the vessel. I’m going to use it to keep you forever.”

“There is no use being here unless we're together. There is no me without you.”

“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.”
