Your question doesn't make any sense to me. Each creature with soulbond has an ability or bonus that it shares with its paired creature while paired. The soulbond ability allows a creature to pair with another unpaired creature you control.

A soulbond creature does not have to pair with another soulbond creature, otherwise Flowering Lumberknot would never be able to attack or block.

Soulbond is an ability that some creatures have that allows you to pair creatures. Usually, if a creature has Soulbond, it also has some kind of ability that looks for paired creatures. Normally, that ability will give a bonus to both paired creatures.

When a creature with Soulbond enters the battlefield, or when an unpaired creature with Soulbond sees another creature enter, if you have at least two unpaired creatures, Soulbond will trigger. When the trigger resolves, you can form a pair. If the creature entering had Soulbond, you can pick any unpaired creature to bond with. If not, the creature that just entered can pair with any unpaired creature that has Soulbond.

If there aren't two unpaired creatures around, Soulbond doesn't even trigger. Because of the way that Soulbond works, you are only ever able to have a creature be paired with one other creature.

one of them has to have the Soulbond ability
the other one can have it, but it is not necessary

No.   The Mauler must be unpaired before you can soulbond again.
