By the sharing of electron density. The electron cloud is held between two nuclei, The positive charges of the nuclei are both held by the attraction to the shared electron cloud.
Explanation:
In a covalent bond the the electrons are shared by both of the atoms. The electro negativity of the two atoms is such that the electrons are held in a shared orbit between the two atoms.
The positive charge of the nuclei is attracted to the negative charge of the shared electron density of the cloud orbit between them. These electric attractions between the positive nuclei and the shared negative electrons hold the atoms together in covalent bond.
