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

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.

Zarha's POV“Enough.”The word is sharp and absolute.The body on top of me stills and starts to lift away. The second the weight comes off, I twist, flipping onto my back, and drive my knee up into his groin as hard as I can.He folds forward with a scream.At the same time, Zanthe lunges.She goes for his throat. No hesitation. No restraint. She means to rip it out.But the timing is off.He pitches forward as my knee connects, his body twisting as he collapses to the side. Zanthe’s teeth miss the centre of his throat and rake across his neck instead.Blood sprays instantly.He howls.Zanthe snaps again, furious, trying to finish it, but hands grab him and drag him out of her reach.Suddenly the room is full of people. Too many hands are on me.I fucking lose it.I kick and thrash and snarl, fighting like an animal backed into a corner. I will not be restrained again.“Cadet! Stop! Stop!”Someone is shouting, but they’re not taking me. Not again.“Zahra. It’s over.”Another voice. O

Zarha's POVI blink up at the harsh fluorescent lights overhead. My head feels heavy, like it isn’t fully attached anymore. My vision swims in and out of focus. Somewhere nearby, water drips, the sound slowly seeping into my awareness.Then the memory hits me like a ton of fucking bricks.Hands holding me down. The cloth shoved over my face. The water. Too much water.I whimper.‘Stay strong,’ Zanthe says immediately, her voice cutting through the fog. The steadiness of her presence anchors me.‘How long was I out?’ I ask her.‘Only about five minutes this time. They left a minute later for a break. They’ll be back soon. I’ve already repaired your nose and fingers.’‘Thank you.’Now that she mentions it, I realise the pain I’d been drowning in before is gone.Today has not been fun.Between the waterboarding, the beatings, and the shock therapy, I fucking hate Phase Three. But I haven’t broken.The scrap of paper they handed me at the start flashes through my mind.The dog has eaten t

Zarha's POVAfter breakfast, we report to the training centre as usual and take our seats in the stands. Liam, Morgan, and Jed stick close to me. Henry sits behind us with his little pack of idiots—Montague and Jameson included.At least they’re keeping their mouths shut now.The commanders and captains enter the room in formation, then Edwardo steps in behind them.He moves to the front, hands clasped behind his back.“Good morning, everyone. Those of you still working on your meditations, please proceed with Captain Ross.”He indicates a red-haired female captain standing to the right of the room. She steps forward as half the room stands. Morgan squeezes my shoulder as she rises, and Jed claps Liam on the back before heading down with her.Captain Ross leads them out, joined by several other captains.“Those of you progressing to Stage Two, we’re going to split you into two groups today. Half of you, please go with Commander Pearson. The rest with Commander Henderson.”He lets the

Zahra's POVMax: Good morning, beautiful. I missed you last night. Hope you slept well. XxxThe text brings an instant smile to my face.Goddess, I missed him last night.My first night back in the Task Force dorms... and I hated it. Despite the bed being infinitely more comfortable than that damn hospital cot, I barely slept. Max spent every night with me while I was there, and the last two, he cuddled me the whole time. Sleeping in his arms is honestly the most restful position I’ve ever found.You’d think being squashed into a hospital bed with one of the biggest guys around would be a nightmare — but for some reason, it wasn’t. Maybe Medus purring me to sleep helped. Whatever it was, last night wasn’t the same without them.I was released yesterday afternoon. The doctor’s thrilled with my progress. The latest bone density scan showed significant improvement, and with the supplements I’m now taking daily — plus all the red meat we’ve been eating — Zanthe has fully repaired my leg.

Edwardo's POVI pace the corridor, boots squeaking on the polished stone every time I pivot. The noise scrapes at my nerves. Not enough to truly grate, just enough to make me aware of the time they’re wasting.The council chamber looms beside me, doors sealed. Of course, they’re late.Fucking typical.I glance at my watch again, though I already know exactly how far behind they are. I detest lateness. Especially from men who believe power excuses a lack of discipline. But I don’t get to call them out. Not here. Not yet.‘Keep it together,’ Metis murmurs from the back of my mind. His presence is steady, controlled, always measured.He has never once risen to bait or chaos. I wish I could say the same.I force my arms behind my back, spine straightening, posture settling into the stance drilled into me over years. The second I do, the right-hand door creaks open.Elis, the council scribe, appears.“They are ready for you, General,” he says with a bow, stepping aside to let me pass.I me

Edwardo's POVI stride back toward the Task Force building, my mind grinding over the accusation in their eyes. I’m so fucking angry I can barely keep it contained. They agreed to let me invite her. Maybe not by name, but let’s be honest. Who else was it ever going to be?They still don’t see what she is. They never have.If she hadn’t mastered the technique as quickly as she did, her leg wouldn’t have shattered. She wouldn’t have tried to stand on the fracture. My thoughts flick back to her face in that moment, focused, determined, not a flicker of pain breaking her concentration. She grasped it faster than anyone I’ve trained. Ever.The five other warriors who’ve reached the breaking stage so far struggled. As expected. They’ll all need multiple rounds before it truly settles into muscle memory. That’s normal. That’s the process.I don’t think Zahra will need another round.At least, she won’t, if they don’t interfere. And I swear to the goddess, I hope they don’t.I shove the door
