Scarred by fate

Book one of The Fatebound Trilogy. Born under a prophecy. Raised in a nightmare. Chosen by the Moon Goddess to save them all. Zahra has spent her life starved, isolated, and hated — the unwanted daughter of her pack’s Beta. When her father finally snaps, attacking her with silver and wolfsbane, Zahra’s body breaks… but something inside her doesn’t. Her wolf. Pushed to the edge of death, Zahra’s first shift is violent and unconscious — triggered not by age, but by the desperate need to survive. And when the white fur surfaces, everything changes. Born under the rare Pink Moon, Zahra isn’t just a survivor. She’s the girl at the center of a forgotten prophecy — the one destined to bring back the extinct Lycans and unite the supernatural world against an ancient evil rising from the shadows. But Zahra’s no chosen princess. She's bruised, underestimated, and out for freedom, not fame. Now with a powerful wolf at her side, and a future tied to four unknown mates, she must train harder, dig deeper, and outfight anyone who thinks they can control her. Because destiny isn’t given. It’s claimed in blood and battle. Fierce, emotionally charged, and full of slow-burn legacy and bite, Zahra’s story is for anyone who’s ever been overlooked — and dared to rise anyway.

Chapter: Epilogue Continued.
Max's POVThe next morning, after another sleepless night, I follow my dad into the main meeting room. The air smells like coffee and grief. King James sits at the head of the table. Beta Nicholas to his right. Tobias and Aiden beside him. Lucas, Xander, and Zach opposite. A councilman I do not recognise flips through a leather folder. A house maid sets coffee pots and plates of biscuits in the centre and retreats from the room.everyone nods in acknowledgment of our arrival, but No one speaks. I pour myself a cup of coffee and settle into my chair to wait.Andrew arrives a few minutes later. He looks hollowed out. it's clear, he's not slept, over the last four days He looks like he's lost weight and He moves like his bones ache. I have heard the stories. When a wolf loses a mate, sometimes the wolf dies of grief. Sometimes the human goes with them. Sometimes what remains is a shell. It is too early to know which road Andrew is on, but dad said Aether is silent. If the silence holds fo

Chapter: Epilogue Continued
Max's POVTobias pats my shoulder. "Come on, man. Let’s head outside. The others will be here soon."I tip back the rest of the beer, feel it hit an empty stomach, and stand. In the bedroom I shrug into my suit jacket. It is tight across the chest but it holds. Tobias clocks it and smirks. I huff a laugh. First one in days. It feels strange in my throat.Outside, people stream from the packhouse to the woods along a lantern‑lit path. I keep my head down and my hands in my pockets. The clearing is already thick with smell of smoke from the last two days. Four pyres stand in the centre: Seb. Luna Anne. Zoe. Rebecca. The pack forms a ring at the edge of the trees, lining up back into the cover of the trees as the numbers swell, bodies pressed close.Tobias and I move to the front where a small platform has been raised. Andrew is there. Dad has an arm around his back, holding him upright. Lucas takes the other side as we reach them. I tense when I see Lucas because I know who will be right

Chapter: Epilogue Continued.
Max's POVThe packhouse feels hollow. Black ribbons hang from banisters. Voices stay low, as if volume might break something that is already cracked. We lost nearly two hundred. Everyone here can name at least one of them.I take a coffee and a muffin from the dining hall because that is what a functioning person does. The coffee tastes burnt. The muffin turns to paste after two bites. I toss the rest and climb to my father’s old office. It is mine now, apparently. The title sits in the room like an unwelcome guest.I work because work is something I can control. Eli’s rotation notes. Ralph’s border reports. I sign where I have to and flag what I cannot decide yet. My phone buzzes beside my elbow.Tobias: I will not ask how you are. I am sure the answer is o

Chapter: Epilogue
Max's POVI stare at the ceiling while daylight crawls across it, thin and grey. Another night with no sleep. My head is a hive and I am the only thing it stings.I have not slept since my best friend was murdered in front of me. Since I was not where I should have been. My Alpha. I let him down. I was busy watching Xander's back, worrying about his cousin, instead of standing where Sebastian needed me. Now our pack has no future, and that sits in my chest like broken glass.My stomach rolls again. I swallow against bile and breathe through it until the nausea backs off. The last three days I have thrown up more than I have in ten years. Every time I replay the fight, or my thoughts drift to Xander, every time I reach the same point where I chose the wrong alpha to flank, my gut empties. Coward’s body. I grit my teeth until my jaw aches.Yesterday’s meeting will not stop playing in my mind. Alpha Lucas at the head of the table, face drawn, voice steady like a blade laid flat.“Max. Hu

Xander's POVMy vision blurs. The air splits with two howls, a long, broken, mournful note. One after the other, blending together, a harmony of misery.Seb, and Uncle Drew.The sound chills me to the marrow. Its the kind of agony that isn’t just heard, it’s felt. Every wolf freezes for half a heartbeat. Max staggers beside me as the bond to his Luna snaps. Around us, every Silver Dawn warrior falters, some nearly dropping where they stand. The heart of their pack has just been snuffed out.I scan the battlefield, frantic. Then I see him. Sphinx!He stumbles upright, then launches forward. He’s not fighting anymore. He’s destroying. A whirlwind of teeth and fury, blood caking his muzzle, eyes blazing feral. He’s gone berserk, tearing through rogues with a savagery I’ve never seen from him before. His unit try to cover him, but he breaks through their line, chasing the rogues too far, too fast.Medus surges away from me, toward his Alpha, desperate to protect him. To be beside him in h

Xander's POVZach’s voice is tight, even through the link.‘I’m on my way, I’m in the pack house!’ I yell back through the link.Max and I barely make it through the back doors before we shift, Medus and Atlas hitting the ground in sync. The scene before us makes my blood run cold.Carnage. Pure fucking carnage.Wolves are everywhere. Rogues flood the garden, tearing through decorations and tables as if they were nothing. They’re not the ragged, half-starved rogues I’ve seen before. They’re lean, powerful, and moving like a trained unit. The stench gives them away — foul, rotting, wrong.Medus and Atlas surge forward side by side, our training taking over. The garden is a ruin, blood splattered across the grass, screams mixing with snarls and the sickening sound of flesh tearing. Wolves crash into each other in a blur of fur and teeth.Silver Dawn’s warriors are arriving now, charging straight into the fray, but the rogues keep pouring from the treeline like a tide of shadows.The sme

Marked by fate

Book Two of the Fatebound Trilogy Born of prophecy. Forged in pain. Chosen by the Moon Goddess—whether she wants it or not. After surviving her father’s brutality and discovering the truth of the white wolf within her, Zahra Larkin thought the worst was behind her. But evil doesn’t die—it waits. Beyond the borders of the supernatural kingdoms, a dark god stirs. Monvar, Lord of Shadows, feeds on fear and faithlessness, twisting hearts and turning packs against one another. As belief in the Moon Goddess fades, his power grows, and Zahra’s very existence becomes both a beacon of hope and a target for destruction. When Zahra is taken by Monvar’s followers, her world shatters again. Tortured, broken, and isolated, she must find a way to survive long enough to escape—and to face what she’s becoming. Because the blood of Selene runs in her veins, and if she falls, the Goddess’s light could die with her. Haunted by trauma and hunted by darkness, Zahra must learn to trust the four fated mates bound to her soul. Together they hold the key to awakening her Lycan power—and saving the supernatural world from annihilation. But love and destiny demand sacrifice. And the girl who was once marked by fate must now decide whether to embrace her divine power… or let the shadows win.

Max's POVOn the run home, Medus and Atlas picked up a herd of deer and hunted. It was exhilarating. I don’t remember the last time I hunted in wolf form, and Medus’s joy was infectious. I receded slightly to let him enjoy his kill, eating happily beside Atlas before we continued home. They ran through the lake to clean off before we headed back to the porch outside the house.The smell of grilling salmon fills the air as I throw the shorts and T-shirt back on and we head inside the kitchen.Lacey is busy cooking lunch as we walk in. “Afternoon, Alphas,” she calls over the sound of the sizzling salmon.“Hi, Lacey,” we say together.“Lunch is in fifteen minutes if you’re going to change.” I know that’s her subtle way of telling us we stink and to please wash before coming to the table.“Thanks,” Xander says, kissing her cheek as he passes, and we head back upstairs to shower.After lunch I head into the downstairs study and get some work done. I’ve got pack business to take care of, I

Max's POVI’m spared the need to say anything else, or for her to interrogate me, as Xander strides into the room.He doesn’t look at me. He heads straight for the coffee.“Morning,” he says, leaning against the counter to sip his drink, keeping his distance, like he has ever since…“Morning, darling,” Alison says, a gentle laugh in her voice. “Too excited to sleep as well?”He nods. “Something like that… do we know what time she’s expected?”I shake my head. “She didn’t know. It depends what time she’s done, and then travel time. I’m sure she’ll let us know when she knows her ETA.”He nods at that.“You going to head over to the new pack house to check it out today?” Alison asks. “It’s coming on well. You’re going to have to start making decisions soon.”“I’ll tell the guys to speak to the interior designer, but I think I’m going to keep my section of the Alpha floor just on first fix until I find my mate,” Xander says into his mug.Alison smiles. “Good idea. I’m sure they’ll want so

Max's POV 🌶️I hum to myself as I turn on the shower. It’s so good to be back in Blood Moon. It’s been ages. I feel alive and alert in a way I haven’t since the poisoning. Anticipation is coiled tight in my chest for this afternoon, and Medus is present. He might not be talking, but he’s here, watching and paying attention. He’s as eager as I am to see Zahra.I step into the shower.The water hits my skin like a promise. It’s hot, almost scalding, and for the first time in months, I feel it. I feel everything. Steam curls around the tiles, fogging the glass, and something in me finally clicks into place. She’s coming home today. I nearly do a little dance, I’m so happy and excitedZahra, my mate.Just thinking about her sends a bolt of pure voltage straight to my core. My cock, which has been a numb, disinterested thing for weeks, twitches and then starts to thicken against my thigh without me even touching it. Just the echo of her face in my mind. My mate.

Edwardo's POVThe drive back to the house is silent, and by the time we pull into the drive the sky has paled into the pre-dawn light. I feel so empty. My panic has given way now, but in its wake, I feel hollowed out. I’ve lost assets and warriors before, but this is so different. This isn’t just a missing operative. It’s a girl I helped raise into a weapon. This is Zahra. I’ve known her for years. I’ve trained her. I’ve watched over her. I knew the decision to put her on this mission was fucking stupid, but she was also the best person for the job, and I know if anyone will survive this situation, she will.But fuck do I want to get her back.We walk into the house to find Fremont, Ross, Delmont, and Avon all sitting around the kitchen island, coffee in hand, laptops out.“What are you doing?” Webster asks as she walks in ahead of me.“Trying to access local security feeds around the club to see if we can catch any sign of her,” Delmont says.“Good,” I say, heading over and putting o

Edwardo's POV‘Anything?’ I ask my team. I can feel my connection to them shifting as they move further away. Mitchell, O’Hara, and Webster are tracking Zahra, while Fremont and Ross remain inside the club. Avon and Delmont have moved too, but they’ve stayed closer.Delmont reports in first.‘There’s nothing out here. No scent of her. The bouncer hasn’t seen anything unusual.’‘We’re running down a van that smells like wolfsbane and scent blockers,’ O’Hara replies.‘Good. Stay on them, but stay safe.’‘I think Corrine’s been taken as well,’ Fremont says. ‘She’s not here, and their friends have just noticed both are missing. They’re going to the toilets to look for them.’‘You two stay with them until they’re home safely.’‘Yes, sir.’‘Delmont, Avon, I want you to head back to base and start scanning surrounding security feeds. Let’s see if we can find them. I’ve got a tech team coming to look at the compromised monitors in the club, but I want footage of the surrounding area.’‘Yes, s

Edwardo's POV‘Lance, Corrine is moving towards the table area with one of the rogues,’ Fremont sends down the link to Mitchell.I’m standing in the upstairs office with Commander Rickman, head of the narcotics division, watching the club on the monitors. I can see my team. The links are all open. I don’t know all the narcotics guys, but Rickman’s team are well trained.“Do we know when the drugs are arriving?” I ask, keeping an eye on Zahra on the dance floor.“One of my guys said it’s en-route from the tunnel mouth now,” Rickman replies. “The distributors will head inside in minutes.”“And what’s your plan? Watch who has it, where?”“Basically. Then follow the electronic tags in the bags that don’t make it in here.”“How potent is it still?” I ask, worried they’re actually going to let it be released to the public.“Not very at all. The stuff we switched it out for has a similar composition, so it scans electronically like the real deal, but when metabolised it hits like a strong dr
