The thread trembled, glowing brighter as if it could sense my tears. When I opened my eyes again, I could still see fragments of it in the air, tiny sparks drifting between us like remnants of a shared eternity.
Abram watched me closely.
“Alright, clearly you’re obsessed with me.” I laughed softly as tears slipped from my eyes.
He smiled brightly and pulled me into him, kissing me softly.
“Thank the heavens. I really thought I’d have to find a way to force you to do it.” He grinned. “This belongs to you.”
He pulled out the black velvet box with his star in it. My chest ached at the sight of it. He opened the box and slid the star into his hand, then slowly clasped it around my neck and smiled.
“Do you, Elowyn, accept my star knowing that it binds you to me for an eternity?” he asked.
“I do.” I smiled when the star glowed.
I grabbed the key off of my neck and put it around his neck.
“This is the closest thing to a star I have.” I blushed. “Do you take me for eternity?”
“Yes.” He didn’t waste a second.
“I need your blood.”
He jerked back as I smiled softly.
“For the spell.” I grabbed his tunic and slid it up and off of him, before doing the same to me.
His eyes flashed red as he looked over me. He lifted his hand to me and grabbed his dagger.
“How much?” He held the blade to his wrist.
I grabbed it and held his hand in mine, pricking the tip so a drop of blood formed then I did the same to myself. I looked at him as I pressed my finger to his, mixing our blood.
“Are you sure?” I asked one last time.
“With everything I am, Elowyn.”
I pulled our fingers apart, pressing his into the flesh above my heart and did the same to him with my finger.
"By the weave of heart and soul, by the thread that binds, I claim you whole. No star, no fate, no heaven above shall break the bond of my chosen love. As yours is mine, and mine is true, I snap the cord that binds us two. From this moment, soul to soul, you are mine, unbroken, whole."
Our bloodmarks burned bright gold before it cut through our skin in a thick golden bond that left Abram’s chest and slammed into mine. I moaned at the euphoric feeling that pulsed through me. Abram must have felt it too as his soft growl raced through my veins.
I felt burning on my chest and looked down to see our marriage bonds shifting to something different. A skull, etched in shimmering silver and pulsing faintly with life. Infinity symbols burned where its eyes should be, glowing like twin stars, and from its crown bloomed lilies of light, their petals curling and fading into my veins. The mark hummed in sync with my heartbeat, alive and ancient, binding us together.
“Well that’s beautiful.” I looked at Abram’s and saw that his matched mine.
“Mating bonds.” He moved closer, something possessive lingering in his gaze. “Now we get to feel each other’s emotions through it.”
A rush of overwhelming emotions slammed into my bond, making me stumble back. But he caught me, and instantly, his mouth was on mine. His tongue swept past my lips. He pulled back and looked down and smiled at the golden bond.
“This is how it should’ve always been.”
“I love you.” I smiled.
“I love you. In fact, let me show you how much.”
He sank to his knees in front of me pulling my legs apart so he could run his tongue through my pussy. My bond ached with need.
