All Chapters of A Sacred Bond: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Approaching Malachi, Dawn still experienced the tension between them. Malachi's eyes returned to normal when she drew nearer and took hold of his hands. My dearest friend Malachi, I'm sorry I can't be your mate. I know you love me, but you have a mate out there waiting, and you need to find her. "I'm sorry again for hurting you like this. I hope we can still be friends," she said. When Dawn met his gaze, she saw his pain. For a moment, she thought he accepted her apology, but then he pulled his hands away.“I opened up my heart to you and expressed my feelings. After all the emotional games and heartbreak you've caused, you have the audacity to suggest we remain friends?” Malachi responds angrily.Dawn interrupts Malachi with a plea, "Malachi, please I did not mean—""To hell with you, Dawn!" Malachi cut in. "I'm in disbelief. Were all my efforts to be there for you completely insignificant? You are nothing but a selfish conniving bitch, that just leads people on. "You mean nothing to

Reginald shared, "I have a story I've never told anyone. You two remind me of Eleanor and me when we were young. We faced a similar situation, and we would have stayed together. Furthermore, lacking wedding rings on our wedding day, I was mortified by my poverty, unable to even present Eleanor with a ring. To my surprise, she then declared her eternal love for me, with or without a ring. That day, I felt like the luckiest man alive; within a year, I managed to get her a ring. It wasn't perfect, nor was it terrible, but she cherished it until her passing ten years ago. Reginald said, and a tear fell.“I am sorry to hear that, it is so sad,” Dawn responded, a tear welling up."It's fine," Reginald stated, "but the moral of the story is this." He then retrieved a string with two gold wedding bands from his desk drawer. "For the past ten years, I've been keeping these rings right here in my desk," Reginald announced. I think this is a sign from Eleanor, and if I know her, she'd want me to

Logan was packing up as much as he could back at the house; they needed to escape. The house, now halfway destroyed, ceases to be a home. Logan, having completed his packing, retrieves the necklace from Dawn, still bearing some of her blood, from his pocket. Dawn was buried by Logan in their front yard. The profusion of flowers indicated to Logan that this was Dawn's favorite location in the home, given her fondness for planting them. Believing it to be the perfect spot, he laid her down. Kneeling, he said, "Rest now, my love, we will be together again someday, I promise." Logan then rose and turned right, noticing William looking at his feet, with tears escaping his face. Logan's anxiety about William will have for him? William had minimal comprehension of what it meant to grieve.However, the pain of losing a mate, regardless of the circumstances, means Logan needs to be strong for William due to his vow to Dawn. "It's time to leave, buddy," Logan stated to William. William nodded, a

The training was, as promised, grueling. Logan gave his all daily, experiencing moments when he contemplated surrendering. Then he sees William and contemplates everyone who believed in him, regardless of their current state of life or death. Because he was determined to do good in their hearts, he knew he could not let them down.The ceremony is the next event, now that Logan has finished his four years of training. With a full moon shining, the night of the ceremony saw every pack member, Jonathan's included, gathered. On stage stood Logan, Josiah, and Jonathan, the three soon-to-be alphas. On the podium, Alpha Remington and Alpha Douglass Jonathan's father were positioned. The audience is being observed by the alphas. Alpha Remington starts, "Good evening pack, tonight is a special night. Tonight, Alpha Douglass and I will induct these three men into the Alpha position. Alpha Remington stepped aside as Alpha Douglass approached the front and announced,“It's time for the ceremony t

“Phoenix, how much longer until we arrive at the pack territory?” Logan desired to know.Phoenix stated, "Not too long, exactly we right here, but I’m going to the back to get to our house.""A good idea, Phoenix," Logan responded.Phoenix went towards the back of the pack, where guards were located. The guards recognized Phoenix, so no words were necessary. Phoenix nodded at them and resumed running after they let him in. At last, he arrived in his backyard; Phoenix allowed Logan to take control and switch back. After getting shorts and a shirt from behind a tree, Logan rushes inside mindlink William know he's home. Next, Logan made his way upstairs to his room, then to the bathroom for a shower. Upon stepping in, the warm water soothes his body, bringing relaxation. Having completed his shower, Logan went back into the room and made his way to his closet. There, he chose a red t-shirt, some black boxers, and black pants. As he arrived at the bottom step, a knock came. He opened th
