Claimed by the Fallen Five
In a fractured world ruled by floating cities and haunted by the wreckage below, Mae is branded defective, hunted for a power she doesn’t understand, and feared for what she might become.
When she’s dragged into a brutal underground auction, she expects to die. Instead, she’s claimed by the Fallen Five—deadly warlords with fractured souls and weapons for hands. Ashar, the half-alien commander with molten gold eyes, feels her like a ripple in the fabric of reality. Riven, Kaine, Sethis, and Lucien sense it too—something wrong, something waking, something the Council failed to kill.
Desire tangles with danger as the Fallen pull Mae into their shadowed world. Stolen glances turn into heated touches. Their chemistry burns hot and fast—but so does the power rising inside her. When Ashar touches her, their sanctuary fractures. Walls realign. Time stutters. And something ancient awakens.
Mae isn’t just powerful—she’s the Fracture. A cosmic anomaly. A living failsafe created to reset a dying universe. And now that she’s stirring, the galaxy wants her erased.
But the Fallen aren’t letting her go.
As enemies close in and the truth unravels, Mae must decide who to trust, what to fight for—and whether love is just another cage… or the key to surviving what’s coming.
Because the force inside her isn’t done breaking things. And neither are they. They want her to stay. To fight. To choose them. Not just as a weapon.
Not just as a woman. But as something none of them believed they’d ever deserve again. A family.

Chapter: Beneath the Veins of Dying Stars: Part 2Mae stepped forward, her chains alive, sparking violet light that spilled across the ramp like liquid fire. The champion met her advance with a shriek, the hollow void in its chest pulsing like a second sun, a darkness so deep it threatened to swallow the ship whole. Lucien stayed at her side, his white chains entwining with hers in defiance, but she felt the strain of it burning through him, threatening to pull him apart from the inside. The Forgotten swarmed around them, endless, ravenous, their clawed hands tearing through steel as though it were nothing. The ship screamed with the weight of the attack, bulkheads groaning, alarms wailing in time with Mae’s racing heart. Ashar fought at the front, his blade aflame, every swing a bright arc that seared through the horde. Flames clung to his body, his armor glowing molten in the heat of battle, but the creatures kept pressing, throwing themselves into the fire willingly just to smother it with their numbers. Riven soared overhead,

Chapter: Beneath the Veins of Dying StarsThe battlefield was chaos. Mae’s scream still tore through the air, but the sound was swallowed by the roar of the Forgotten champion forcing its bulk into the ship. Kaine’s body lay motionless on the floor, his golden light already fading into the shadows that surged around them.Lucien’s chains snapped outward, striking like lightning, wrapping around the massive creature’s limbs. Sparks flew where they connected, the clash of divine and void energy rattling the ship itself. Ashar dove at its chest, blade blazing like a falling star, cutting deep but not enough to stop its advance.“Mae!” Riven’s voice cut through, his wings sweeping her out of the path of a lunging Forgotten. He landed hard beside her, feathers shredded, his body shaking with exhaustion. “You cannot break now. Do you hear me? You cannot!”Mae’s vision blurred with tears, with fire, with the chains burning hotter beneath her skin. Every nerve screamed at her to collapse, to grieve, to stop, but the war gave her no m

Chapter: Where Nightmares BeginThe ship shook violently, not from the engines but from the world itself breaking open. Mae’s skin lit with violet chains beneath the surface, sparking and pulsing against her will. Her breath caught. The vision that had haunted her, the one where she stood on a battlefield of fire and glass, tearing the world apart, felt like it was crawling out of her head and into reality.Outside, the horizon split. The earth bled light, jagged wounds opening as towering shadows clawed their way free. The Forgotten were waking.“Shields up, now!” Sethis shouted, his voice shaking in a way Mae had never heard. Lucien’s chains burned white-hot along his arms as he stared out the viewport. Ashar’s knuckles whitened around his blade. Even Riven, usually unshakable, had his wings half-flared, feathers twitching with unease.Then the ship lurched, hard, as something slammed into the ramp. A body rolled inside, limp and bleeding, leaving a smear of red across the metal. Mae’s heart stopped. “Kaine!” she

Chapter: The Weight of His WorldThe corridors of Sethis’s world were unlike anything Mae had ever seen. The walls shimmered faintly, alive with threads of starlight that pulsed like veins, carrying whispers of energy through the stone. When they returned to the others, Mae lingered close to Lucien but her thoughts kept pulling elsewhere. There was something in the way Sethis had looked at her earlier, an unspoken weight behind his easy smirk.When she finally approached him, he was waiting as though he had known she would come. Without a word, he motioned for her to follow. The path curved upward into a long arching hall lined with luminous glyphs. Mae felt the air grow heavier the deeper they walked, as if the very atmosphere bore the memory of what this world had endured.“This place was not always like this,” Sethis said quietly. His usual teasing edge was gone, replaced by something measured and solemn. “Before the war, before the void, we thrived. My people believed we were untouchable. But power always comes wi

Chapter: Threads of the EternalThe three of them stood in silence, the weight of Sethis’s question still lingering in the air. Mae’s heart thudded in her chest, uncertain whether it was from the sudden shift in the conversation or from Lucien’s nearness. Sethis’s gaze lingered on her for a moment longer, unreadable, then a sly smile tugged at his lips. He winked at her, a flicker of mischief in his eyes that did not quite hide the ache behind it, and with a casual turn he walked away, leaving them in the quiet that suddenly felt too heavy.Mae exhaled slowly, only then realizing how tightly she had been holding her breath. Her eyes darted towards Lucien, but he did not move at first. He simply watched her, his silence more potent than words. She felt his presence coil around her like smoke, dark and magnetic, impossible to escape.When he finally stepped closer, Mae’s body reacted before her mind did, heat rushing through her veins at the way his gaze locked on hers. His hand lifted, slowly and deliberately, brushin

Chapter: A Dangerous YesThe ship was restless with preparation, voices low but sharp as the Fallen planned their next steps. Mae barely heard them. Her mind was fixed on something else, something that gnawed at the edges of her thoughts and refused to loosen its grip.The chains.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw them, bright violet threads lacing beneath her skin, answering to Lucien’s like a reflection in water. The others didn’t see it, not fully, not the way he did. And she knew, somehow, that whatever this was, it belonged to the two of them alone.So when the moment came, when the others were distracted, Mae touched Lucien’s arm and nodded toward the corridor. He didn’t question, didn’t speak, just followed her into the silence of the ship’s lower deck.It was dark there, lit only by the hum of the vessel’s core, shadows wrapping around them like a cloak. Mae turned to him, her heartbeat thundering in her chest.“I need to understand it,” she said, her voice low, urgent. “The chains. My power. Wh

Chapter: Like a Sister -Corey- Tonight was no different than any other night, the same people coming in, ordering drinks, talking, the usual. I got a call-in order for to-go, thinking nothing of it besides this is a lot for one man. Thankfully it was all burgers. I took the order to the kitchen and let them know it was to go and not to fuck it up. “Mina trusts us to make her bar run smoothy guys and she is like a sister to us, if we did it for Larry we need to keep the same shit going.” Rocky, the guy I had picked to replace me, also my boyfriend, threw a towel at me, “dude, stop riding my ass, just because you got that promo doesn’t mean you can’t help.” We started laughing, “you know as soon as she is here I will come help you, stop tightening your bra too tight.”Throwing the towel back at Rocky, “I wouldn’t pick a better team man. You’re next if you keep it up, I know she will agree.” He shrugged his shoulders, I walked back up front thinking about that. Rocky didn’t think Mina would give it to him wh

Chapter: Making Bones -Mina- Tony and Luciano had left, leaving Vinny and Marko behind with me. “How are you feeling Mina? I wanted to ask but the boss had us keep an eye on the bar while you were in the hospital. I haven't had a chance to see you and ya know.” I laughed, Marko was awkward for sure, but sweet. “I’m fine Marko, please don’t get too serious about his ‘instructions’ . I can handle a lot of things, probably not lifting anything.” They nodded and sat on the couch, I grabbed some beers out the fridge, “how long have y’all worked for Luciano?” They exchanged glances, and I realized, they didn’t know that Luca had told me the truth. “I know about the families, the situation, and his position. I know y’all are looking to, what is it called? Make your skin or something like that?” Vinny laughed as I handed them the beers. “Wow, too much mobster T.V and not enough real world, it is making your bones Mina, and not long. About a year.” I looked at him, not long? A year is kinda long in my opinion. “

Chapter: A Strange Comfort-Mina- I don’t remember much of my dream, but I do remember Luca was there. It still feels weird calling him Luca, not Luciano. When I woke up, it was almost 9 in the morning. I had forgotten that we were still naked, when I looked at him and saw his bare chest, the memories of last night flooded in. I stood up, being met with pain in my stomach and back. I walked over to the closet and grabbed something to throw on, and headed to the kitchen after stealing one last glance at Luca. I didn’t want to wake him, I haven’t seen him sleep since the shooting. He needed rest, so while he slept, I made myself some coffee, and noticed what day it was. Today is your day dad, I miss you. I turned on the oven, grabbed a pan and a bowl, setting them on the counter. I turned to the fridge and pulled out eggs, bacon, sausage milk and butter. I placed the things on the counter beside the bowl and began cracking eggs, pulling flour from the jar that sat on the counter-top, and mixing it together. I w

Chapter: Breaking Oaths -Mina- His voice was deeper, more possessive, like the first two days of knowing him, “fine.” He said one kiss then we were waiting, “you’re still hurt.” I told him I didn’t care, “I want you now.” I knew he would probably object, but to my surprise, he didn’t. Instead, he pressed his head against mine, “then I’ll take what I can, but once we start. There is no going back.” I smiled, knowing that the cravings, the thoughts, the dreams, were all about to come to life. He looked at me, as if he was waiting for permission, once I nodded I could see something change in him. “You have to tell me the moment it starts to hurt Mina.” The look in his eyes didn’t match the tone in his voice, “I will Luca.” He moved, leaning me back onto the bed, his hands holding me underneath him as he hovered above me, “are you sure?” I reached up, holding his face in my hands, rubbing my thumbs along his jaw-line, “if I wasn’t sure, we wouldn’t be here.” His smile flashed and his eyes locked on mine, he

Chapter: The Weight of His World -Mina’s POV- The first day home was not bad, I wasn’t hurting as much since the surgery was successful and I was healing remarkably, according to the doctor. Tony and Luciano were treating me like an injured bird, which was nice but something I haven’t had before. The intimate moments shared with a man I hardly knew, but somehow fell for. There is no way in hell this is happening to me. He is everything I fear, don’t want, but yet I crave him. I couldn’t stop thinking about that, every time I looked at him. When he kissed me laying me down, it was something that felt forbidden, yet something that was supposed to be. The way he didn’t want to touch me wrong, was scared to hurt me, refused to do anything that night was something I could tell was new to him. He seemed like a tough person, letting on like he runs everything and is above emotions in a way, he now showed a softer side that made me feel more than I should for him, wanting him more. I tried to get some sleep but it didn’t

Chapter: Ghosts We Carry -Luciano- I couldn’t stop thinking about how this woman has somehow gotten under my skin, in a good way. Still tracing the bandages that Mina wore, I broke from my thoughts of guilt behind her injury. I covered her up with the blanket, kissed her head and drifted off to sleep. The dreams came quick, Mina was dressing my wound, then I was in her flat caring for hers. Marco found her place, and before he could finish the job I woke up. Spot was on the floor beside me, watching me the way Max does. I rolled over to find that Mina was gone. I got up, put on my clothes, almost forgetting what we did last night. Still thinking about the way she felt wrapped around me, the way she moaned my name. I was almost done getting dressed when I heard laughter, hers, coming from the kitchen then Tony’s voice, “I didn’t know you studied art and interior design, would you help me with my house, my wife is getting on me about ‘change’, she said it would be nice.” I walked around the corner just as he
